this is the story of Andrew’s journey on how he became the world’s largest pp from being the smallest.

The first thing Jason and Caroline sensed after they were swallowed by the black smoke, was a painful screech coming from some.

The next thing they felt, was that as if they were being thrown in all kinds of directions, yet they were somehow not hitting anything.

Slowly they regained their vision and their ability to move, and the giant spider legs for some reason let go of them and they just fell on the hallway floor.

Sounds of cracks and pops, the smell of smoke and the feeling of heat surrounded them - the hotel hallway was burning. There were two very conspicuous holes in the floor, and around these two holes were a couple of burning piles of tar-like matter. 

The giant human-formed spider struggled in the burning hallway and tried to back away from where Jason and Caroline were. It appeared to be extremely fearful of the silver and orange flames that were burning all around the hallway and it appeared to be missing a few of its legs.

"Pop!" a piece of the carpet beneath one of the spider's leg burst out burning in silver and orange flame. The spider jumped and tried to move the leg away, yet a large chunk of this leg was already burned by the flame. Some of the human bodies that formed it seemed to be melted off and dropped on the ground, and started burning like drops of tar-like matter around the holes in the floor.

"Carry them away!" Caroline gave Jason a push and knocked him out of his shock and confusion, then pointed at Branston, Brian and Adam: "We must carry them away!"

"Right! Now!" Jason came to himself and rushed to the side of the three unconscious young men with Caroline, and started dragging them away from the fires.

The spider was finally able to back away and into the shadows. But its body was already badly damaged when it did. There were some parts of its body that caught fire, it just shed the burning human body parts like chunks of dead skin, exposing the internals of its body in the process.

And even through the fires and almost a whole hallway away, Jason and Caroline were still able to make out a part of the human-formed spider's "core" : it was a woman, in a golden-colored gown cradled in a fetal position. Unlike all other parts of the limbo, this woman and her gown had color on them and were not grey.

After letting out a loud and threatening screech, the spider disappeared into the shadows at the far end of the hallway.

When Jason and Caroline came to, they found that they were still standing in the hallway, and to their relief the hallway was not on fire at all.

But something definitely was on fire, since they smelled smoke.

"Caroline? Your backpack!"

"And yours!"

Looked like while they were in the limbo, something ignited all the incense in both their backpacks, the insides of their backpack were burned and badly damaged. But luckily, nothing else caught fire.

The folded paper sigils were also burnt down into barely recognizable pieces, and each of their metal mirrors were in incredibly high temperature and Caroline almost got her hand burnt while she was cleaning out her backpack.

Branston, Brian and Adam did not wake up as fast as Jason and Caroline, and they seemed to be very confused when they did.

"Stream's disconnected. What happened? Did we stream at all?" Branston asked Brian and Adam, yet neither was able to give him an answer.

"Hey, Caroline, Jason." Brian ran up to the two who were staring at two bunches of incense in their hands: "Looks like we got confused there for a bit, did we do the stream? Do you guys remember?"

"... No?"  Caroline thought for a minute and decided she wanted to play dumb: "I don't remember much from before. What do you remember?"

"Honestly? Almost nothing." Brian turned back and took a look at Branston who was trying his hardest to adjust his camera and get the stream online, and Adam on the side helping him, while his expression clearly showed that he was trying really hard to remember what happened.

"It's probably for the best." Caroline smiled, "I felt like we went through something terrifying, it's a blessing in disguise if we cannot remember anything."

"Caroline? Look at the smoke." Jason interrupted the brief conversation between Brian and Caroline.

Some of the incense in their backpacks was still burning, and a lot of the smoke that was trapped in there was also released when they tried to get things out. Yet the smoke did not dissipate like normal smoke would, nor did it rise up to the ceiling or out the window. Instead, all of the smoke drifted through the air across the hallway and gathered around a decorative pillar half embedded in the wall at the far end of the hallway.

The smoke from the incense was light, not cough-inducing and even had a calming smell, yet somehow it started to char that piece of the decorative pillar.

Jason and Caroline's eyes met, the same realization just came over them.

"Fuck yeah! I just got it working!" Branston cheered as he finally got his camera to start shooting and his livestream back online, "Woah, the chats we got, it's insane!"

"Let me see. What are they saying? " Brian and Adam hastily took out their phones to check the status of the live stream.

A loud bang startled Branston, Brian and Adam. As they looked over to where the sound came from, they saw Jason and Caroline violently tearing up a decorative pillar in a wall at the end of the hallway.

"Woah woah woah! Guys! We are not supposed to do this!" Brian quickly rushed to Jason and Caroline's side and exclaimed: "You can't cause damage to the hotel! What do you think you're doing?"

"Hey! What are you guys doing there!? What's with the smoke!?" two doors opened and several guests came out of their rooms: "Stop it! We're calling the hotel staff!"

Jason and Caroline did not even slow down, they already broke the surface of the decorative pillar, and they started breaking and pulling out what was inside: dusty fillings, old wooden boards and panels.

"Stop it! Stop it!" a female guest sounded like she was about to cry: "This is a historic hotel! You can't do this!"

"Historic, made sense..." Jason muttered as he reached his hand down to the hole they made and pulled out a piece of wood panel that for some reason seemed corrupted and blackened.

"Stop what you're doing, now!" two security guards from the hotel made it to the scene and tried to drag both Jason and Caroline away, but big and tall as they were, they were pushed to the side.

"Branston! Your camera! Come here!" Caroline yelled at the three young men who just seemed to get every streaming device online, "Turn on your flashlight and take a look down here!"

"There's a body inside!" noticing that Branston was hesitant because of the presence of the bodyguards, Caroline spelled out loudly what she and Jason found.

He left his home, unwillingly, to a realm of cultivation, Xianshu, mythical manuals and Dao. And now he’s here due to a failed attempt at going home, a place bears a lot of resemblance but not the same.

“At least it’s close enough here. I’ll get there on my next jump.” Jianmen Yu said to himself, “But while I’m prepping, let me do my old job here for a bit.”

And there we have it, “Xianshi Inn”, run by a cultivator, who’s not of this world. Don’t mess with it or its employees, the owner will kick your ass, no matter who you are, no matter WHAT you are.

With everybody focused on the castle once again, Dani ordered the invasion. They jumped the wall one by one. Logan cast an illusion that kept them mostly hidden as they snuck into the courtyard. The team remained low, keeping their formation as before. Closer to the castle, within the courtyard, snowmen patrolled. This was easy for Logan and Leira to handle.

They ducked behind fresh carven fixtures throughout the courtyard. Decorative stone statutes and well-trimmed bushes were merely tools for them to kill the enemy. The pair snuck around laying traps to stun while silently killing the snowmen with fire magic. It was quite frequent that Logan would set a fire trap and allow Leira to kill them with a flame arrow. The two executed the plan flawlessly, leading Dani and Andres to the castle wall.

The wall had a beautiful exterior design that would allow them to climb up to a balcony on the third floor. Andres even cracked a joke that it pays not to be fancy. Logan began climbing up with an illusion to help prevent anything from seeing them. Dani stuck close behind him, Leira struggled her little way in front of Andres who was most suited to carry her in a worst-case scenario.

Once they climbed up, the four had quietly jumped down to a balcony on the third floor. They remained hidden low while Logan sensed inside the castle. Leira peaked over the balcony, gazing upon its beauty. She admired the was the water was frozen from the fountains and the trees. Snowman patrolled through un-ventured areas of the courtyard. She couldn't help wondering what it would be like to ice skate on the large frozen fountains. Andres was smashed into the balcony which brought Leira back into focus.

Andres rose his shield in time as a giant bold pincer stabbed at him. The pincers continued stabbing at Andres prompting Leira to shoot it away. As she stood up turning towards the hairy attacker, Leira's legs began to tremble. Her bow aimed away to the ground while Leira herself was screaming. She squirmed herself into a corner on the balcony in hopes that her escorts would.

Andres was being smashed into the floor while maintaining a firm grip on his shield. The hairy creature stood tall with its spider body pushing forward. instead of a head, it had a human torso with giant eyes around its stomach, chest, and sides. There was no mouth visible. The pincer arms felt like missiles while banging into Andres' shield. It tried to aim for his legs. Andres wasn't a weak player to give the enemy that kind of privilege.

Leira was now crying harder than Mina ever did. Her face was between her legs, kissing her ass goodbye while tears spilled on the floor. Andres yelled for her not to quit. Luckily for him, Leira had no will to make any decision on her own at the moment.

Spring to his feet to dodge a pincer strike, Andres tossed his shield at the creature. It slammed into its eyes. Yet the creature chased Andres quicker. He parried with his sword to slice the left arm. He rolled over to grab his shield. The creature swung at him hard, but Andres tanked the full swing with his shield. After being slammed into a wall, a giant fireball shot the creature off of the balcony. Dani stood in a firm stance firing at multiple while Logan was slicing through the injured ones to kill them. Andres ran over to continue the fight while Leira sat in her corner.

It wasn't long for the three to kill off the creatures. Sure it wasn't tactical. In fact, they were now exposed in the castle. Even so, they were still full of energy and ready to take on another boss.

Logan grabbed up Leira by the hand, pulling on her to follow them. Andres began storming through the halls of the castle, guiding them through the safest routes. Room by room, the four ran launching surprise attacks on their foes. Leira was scared of the creatures. Likewise, she was amazed by the beautiful crystal design of the castle. They looted the rooms afterward and found many points in treasure chests. Further looting allowed the team to find a new bow and axe for Leira. Andres chose to carry the axe on his hip to continue using his 

Dani couldn't help to notice that they weren't getting anywhere running around the castle. Unfortunately, Andres couldn't find any new routes. He was stuck leading the team in circles endlessly. Even Leira knew there was something up.

Dani began recounting their chosen pathways in the castle as Logan looked about the crystalized mirrors on the walls. He observed how each one reflected him. Slowly motioning his hand, Logan realized that one of the mirrors reflected him slightly different.

"What's up Logan?" asked Andres as Logan himself faced the mirror with a slightly different reflection.

"Let's smash it," he said.

In an instant, Dani fired a pure magical bullet that smashed the mirror to dust. The crystallized dust blew around towards the center of the room to form a scythe-wielding warrior made of crystallized glass. Its glass eyes were filled with sorrow. He launched himself at Leira for a kill. Each swing of his scythe sent a gust of ice particles that froze anything it touched. Andres defended Leira, allowing Dani to shoot at the crystal warrior multiple times. Once Logan was close enough, he used his sword to disable the warrior and dodged the warrior's counterstrike. Andres threw his shield at the warrior's head, allowing Logan to pierce his sword into him.

"Scatter," yelled Logan, causing the warrior the shatter into tiny glass pieces.

Leira stood recalling how the warrior was able to freeze things and wondered why would Logan get close to such a warrior. She looked at Logan's face and noticed his smile. It wasn't a smirk of victory. Rather it was a smile of fun that people commonly wore when they were aroused playing sports or a video game.

Dani walked over and smacked Logan on his head. This didn't hide Andres' cheeky smile as he grabbed his shield.

The two boys laughed as Dani tried to pull them together. She looked over at Leira who was pretty lost on the motives at this point.

"They're just having fun," said Dani as she shook her head. "But seriously, we need to take this seriously. So get it together".

"I don't know what you want from us," smirked Andres, "You know we love this".

The agitated Dani pointed out that nothing was behind the smashed mirror and there were likely more mirrors that they must destroy to unlock something. This was quite obvious, causing Logan to mock her. Dani refrained from beating Logan further and insisted that they look for more mirrors to break. This was fine with the boys. Though as they began retracing themselves around the third floor of the castle, Logan couldn't help but notice that one of the giant mirrors in the hallway had a tint of red. They stopped to investigate it. Yet couldn't find any abnormalities.

Thus the four continued smashing the odd mirror in each room and subsequently defeating the scythe-wielding warriors from each mirror. This left them roaming about looking for the next piece to the puzzle. Coming across the giant mirror in the hallway again, the team realized it was no longer tinted, but rather red. 

Dani positioned her team behind a fixture, ready for combat. She shot out a well charged magical bullet that blew up the mirror. Leira felt the shockwave of glass brush through them. Her skin felt as though sandpaper was yanking her hairs off her body. Her heart was about to burst until Andres called "clear".

Dani gasped as she looked towards the shattered mirror. Leira took a peak witnessing a giant hidden room now accessible. Unlike the rest of the third floor, this hidden room was made of a dark stone with bloodstains on the walls. The air from this form blew out a stank that was foreign to Leira but strong enough to make her not want to go in. What's worse, there was a circular platform in the wall with two chained giants next to it. 

"They're dead," said Logan as he sauntered towards the platform. 

Andres looked at the two dead giants realizing that despite being dead, they were still conscious. Unlike Logan who was eager to ride the platform with Dani, Andres approached the two lifeless giants. 

Chains were attached to their spine and joints, bounding them to the wall. "Please help us," begged the giant on the left. A black venom spewed from his mouth. 

"What happened to you guys?" asked Andres, observing the scarless bodies of the giants. 

The giant on the right began shaking as he stretched his arms and said, "We're prisoners of Eisheth Zenunim. She has captured our souls and imprisoned us here in the Tower of Envy". 

The left giant continued, "Please if it's not too much. Release us from the belly of the hungry bride. You must rip her stomach open to free the souls of her many victims". 

"Where can we find her?" asked Andres. 

The right giant answered, "In the far castle with her husband, The King of The Fifth Realm. Free our souls and return to this forest. And we will show our gratitude by granting you our power". 

The giants believed the sincerity in not only Andres' eyes but also in his words as he spoke, "I accept your quest. I will venture to the tombs of Samael himself. Find this wicked witch by the name of Eisheth and drive my blade through her stomach". 

The two giants held their hands out as a way to give thanks for Andres' generosity as he continued, "And when I am done, I will be back to claim my reward and have a good solid quest defeating demons with my two new friends". 

Andres nodded his head at the two giants as he walked onto the platform. Black venom tears rolled the cheeks of the two imprisoned giants as they turned their heads. Everybody stared back at the giants in question of what they were about to do. 

"We're sorry," said the two giants, "You do not have access to use this elevator. We must send you all to the beast for consumption". The platform closed itself off to not allow anybody off.

"Assholes," responded Dani. 

The giants continued, "Only by defeating the demon in the keep to which we send and stealing the jewel from its collar will thou be allowed to travel to all floors". 

Andres gave a smile that cheered the cold hearts of the giants and said, "then so be it". 

Symbols on the walls surrounding the platform glowed. The platform began lowering itself to the dungeon at the bottom of the castle. Logan remained patient with his hands covering his pelvic. He sternly told Andres, "You're full of shit". Dani nodded her head to Logan's truthful words.

"Really?" Yun Jiuge exclaimed as her eyes lit up. She did not have many pets. Her Pipi Mouse previously was possessed by Cute Little Baby's consciousness, so it did not count.
Beside Mr. and Mrs. Treasure-hunting Scorpion, she was only left with the pink Mother Legendary Venomous Insect given to her by Jun Yichen.
Now that she had the opportunity to hatch the Mother Legendary Venomous Insect, she was certainly willing by all means.
"Of course," Zi Shang replied, feeling somewhat guilty when he saw Yun Jiuge so happy. The method that he taught was slightly savage. He hoped Yun Jiuge would not flip out.
"So, what do we have to do?" Yun Jiuge asked. She could not wait to take out the Mother Legendary Venomous Insect. A gentle light was radiating from inside the pink cocoon in her fair hands.
Zi Shang took the cocoon and under Yun Jiuge's expectant gaze, threw it over to the place with the most intense Fiendish Qi.
The pink cocoon streaked across like a meteor in front of Yun Jiuge and disappeared into the endless darkness. The Walking Corpses and evil spirits swarmed around like sharks sensing blood and overwhelmed the insect in an instant.
"Ahh! What are you doing!" Yun Jiuge screamed and turned around, wanting to rescue the Mother Legendary Venomous Insect.
Zi Shang grabbed Yun Jiuge by the shoulders and said in a composed manner, "Don't be anxious. Your Legendary Venomous Insect which should have hatched long ago was just lazy to come out. If you don't give it a little push, it'll really become a fossil."
"But you don't have to goad it this way! What if something happens?" Yun Jiuge replied.
"If something goes wrong, I'll save it," Zi Shang answered. He would not let anything happen to the Mother Legendary Venomous Insect.
"You'd better keep to your word," Yun Jiuge angrily responded. Her eyes anxiously stared at the center area swarming with Walking Corpses.
The original dark black fog suddenly undulated. A small vortex appeared out of thin air and expanded continuously. The whole space throbbed violently like angry waves in the sea.
The Walking Corpses were swept into the vortex and instantly torn to pieces before turning into black fog.
The place where the cocoon disappeared suddenly spewed out alternating black and white rays that lit up the whole space in an instant.
Next, a black-and-white butterfly flapped its wings and slowly flew up, circling over everyone's heads with a dizzying mist of light.
This butterfly was roughly the size of a palm, and its left side was pure black with a fine decorative design forming a vicious male devil's head. Its right side was pure white, but resembling the face of a kind-looking woman.
Right in the middle was a black colored body. Its head had the face of a delicate, cute girl. It was pouting its lips as if it was angry.
"A Reincarnated Yin-Yang Butterfly?" Zi Shang thought to himself. He raised his eyebrows and transmitted a message to Yun Jiuge saying, "Ahhh, lucky you. After this Legendary Venomous Insect absorbed Cute Little Baby's Demon Qi, it actually evolved into such a rare breed."
"What's so special about this Reincarnated Yin-Yang Butterfly?" Yun Jiuge asked, with her eyes fixated on the black-and-white butterfly.
"As the name implies, a Reincarnated Yin-Yang Butterfly can reverse the Qi of Yin and Yang. It can even create vitality in dead areas. It's a rare treasure. But yours is still quite young, so it can only deal with these Walking Corpses," Zi Shang replied flatly.
A fully evolved Reincarnated Yin-Yang Butterfly could create a small world in itself. It was the best Weapon Spirit to refine a miniature world but was also a favorite treasure of the powerful presence.
Yun Jiuge's eyes lit up and she hurriedly waved to the black-and-white butterfly as she said, "My darling, quickly come to Big Sister."
The black-and-white butterfly shot a glance at Yun Jiuge when it heard her call. It continued to pout and ignore her, still looking angry from being thrown out.
"My darling, don't be angry. Big Sister has candies for you," Yun Jiuge cajoled as she poured out two Cherry Pills onto her hand.
At this, the black-and-white butterfly landed satisfactorily on Yun Jiuge's hand. After it ate the Cherry Pills, it obediently rested on her shoulder. It was easily coaxed after all.
"Darling, you'll be called Feifei from now on!" Yun Jiuge said as she tenderly touched Feifei's little head.
Feifei flapped its black-and-white wings. It was very satisfied with the name.
"Miss Yun, can I ask what breed your butterfly is? Where can I find one?" Leng Hui asked as he looked at Feifei with excitement.
He had just seen with his own eyes how the small butterfly flapped its wings and the Fiendish Qi became a vortex. Those Walking Corpses and evil spirits were trapped inside the vortex and could not come out.
If he could have such a butterfly too, then he would not have to worry about Hui Kingdom being corroded by Fiendish Qi again.
"It's a Legendary Venomous Insect given to me by a friend. It's unlikely that there's another one in the world," Yun Jiuge replied while shaking her head.
Jun Yichen had bred so many Legendary Venomous Insects and only produced Feifei, the Mother Legendary Venomous Insect.
Moreover, during the process of spinning its cocoon, it was corroded by Pipi Mouse's Demon Qi. It was due to this fortuity that it developed into a Reincarnated Yin-Yang Butterfly. It would be difficult to recreate another.
"I see," Leng Hui uttered in extreme disappointment.
He wanted to buy this butterfly from Yun Jiuge. But when he saw how fond Yun Jiuge was of this butterfly, perhaps she would not part with this cherished pet. But he did not want to give up without asking.
Leng Hui was thinking about how to bring up the topic when Leng Bai pulled him over and pointed to the open space that emerged after the Fiendish Qi vanished, saying, "A thoroughfare has appeared."
A black ladder appeared in front of everyone.
"Let's go!" Yun Jiuge said excitedly as she waved.
The female Scorpion and Feifei had both gained benefits. It could be the Treasure-hunting Scorpion's turn in the next floor. She looked forward to this quite a bit!
Zi Shang swept his icy gaze across Leng Hui and his brothers before he took hold of Yun Jiuge's hand to get on the black ladder.
Leng Hui momentarily choked on his saliva. Zi Shang's gaze clearly warned them not to get any ideas.
"Big Brother, things are already good now," Leng Bai commented. He understood his oldest brother's intentions and he also very much wanted to have that amazing butterfly.
But he was well aware that their entire Hui Kingdom was not worth mentioning to these two foreign Cultivators. Angering them would only bring catastrophe.
"Okay," Leng Hui answered as he helplessly suppressed his idea and followed suit in going up the black ladder.
The seventh floor was a Labyrinth of Mirrors. Panels of incomparably smooth crystal mirrors filled up the entire space, as if there were countless figures staring back at them. It made them dizzy.
"How can we pass through this?" Yun Jiuge asked. She looked at the densely packed reflections of herself in the mirrors and felt goose bumps.
"Let me have a look," Zi Shang replied as he looked around to assess the situation.
"The sixth and seventh floors are both Labyrinths. These mirrors are formed by Fantasy Qi, so breaking them won't work. The only way to get through this is to find the right passageway," Leng Hui said.
The Labyrinth of Mirrors might have seemed simple, with the mirrors looking like they could be easily broken. But for it to appear on the sixth floor showed how complex a place it was.
If someone inexperienced were to blast the mirrors to pieces, he would immediately be taken back to the first floor. The Labyrinth would then also start to spread from the first floor. One would be trapped inside forever if one could not find a way out. This was one of the most complex obstacles in the tower.
"I hate walking in a Labyrinth," Yun Jiuge commented. She was most troubled by these paths that looked identical and not knowing whether to turn left or right.
"Take your Panic Grass out," Zi Shang instructed. He had already come up with a way.


She roused from a pool of blood, vowing to exact retribution on those who had harmed her. 
She slapped her despicable father and smacked his wicked concubines 
 She trampled on a two-faced girl who acted innocent but had a malicious heart, and pointed her sword towards the heartless man who was unworthy of her love. 
Countless beasts trembled in front of her cute pet, and her divine artifact intimidated even the Ninth Heaven. 
As soon as her Elixir  Furnace was lit up, the world came to kneel before her. 
Between him and her, it all started with a fair trade. Yet, the handsome demon ended up being obsessed with her. 
“Lay an egg for me, and I’ll promise you a peaceful life in any of the three realms!” He wrapped himself around her eagerly. 
“Leave me alone, and I’ll grant you a long life till eternity!” She pushed him away with a defiant laugh. 
 

'Jennings, you take this guy up to holding, then bring me some backup.' I order.
'Sir, you can't go in alone, if-'
I hold up my hand, causing him to choke on his words. There wasn't time for this.
'Hurry up!' I repeat.
Jennings took charge of Soren, one hand on his leash, the other on his waistline. The whole image reminded me of a skinny nerd taking his rabid dog out for a walk, no, that wasn't fair, the young lad had proven himself back there. He knew what he was doing.
Nodding to myself, I make a cautious approach to Daisy's shop. The broken shards of glass are cracking under my feet; if someone were inside, I'd just told them where I was.
The steel door was cold to the touch, and I have to yank at it several times to force it open. Walking inside, I can feel an icy breeze gnawing at my cheekbones. Someone had messed with the building's ventilation system.
Pulling out my standard police issue torch, I have to hit it a few times to get it to work. Its pale blue light was next to useless and was only adding to the eerie atmosphere of the place.
'Daisy?' I ask, seeing my breath fog as I opened my mouth.
She didn't reply. It was too damn quiet, and cold, with my only company being the thickening layer of frost beneath my feet.
'DAISY?' I repeat. There was no answer.
'Clunk!'
The strange sound stopped me in my tracks, forcing me to crouch and take cover behind a grand oak wood desk. I wasn't about to ask who it was, because the second that I did, they'd no doubt appear right behind me. Shining the torch out in front, I can't see any movement, but I know someone is there.
'Ethan, this is all your fault. Look at what you made me do. LOOK AT WHAT YOU MADE ME DO!'
'Who is that?' I ask.
'You can't love her anymore, she looks hideous.' the voice barked, laughing uncontrollably.
The voice sounded so familiar, and yet, I couldn't figure out why. There was only one way to find out who it was as well; with my pistol drawn, I began sprinting across the shop lobby floor, floundering like a fish out of the water as I skidded on sheet ice. I end up bumping into stacked tables and chairs on the way, knocking vases and decorative mirrors onto the floor. I had to keep going, though; I had to get upstairs.
Darting up the spiral staircase, I see the shadowy figure again, and I chase after them. There was a dead-end up ahead as well, and the only way out was straight through me.
I couldn't see the person's face, and every time I shone the torch, they turned away shyly. About all that I could notice was the person's size - quite tall, slim built, with long hair. If I had to guess, I'd say it was a woman.
They charge straight at me, screaming, before bolting through an open doorway on the right-hand side. I hear a window smash, and an almighty thud soon after. I peer into the room, my heart hammering and my eyes wide open. I'd done this many times, but I could never get used to feeling the overwhelming surge of adrenaline coursing through my body.
Staring out the window, I see the glass fragments scattered all over Eden Street, but not a single person in sight. Jumping would have been suicidal as well.
'Shit, they're still in here.' I whisper out loud.
I was starting to panic; I'd let my guard down, and I'd probably come to regret it. Turning around sharply, I feel an intense shooting pain in my neck. Staring at the ground; I see a trail of blood running across the wall, and as I look closer, I see my name written in blood, with the red letters dripping and quickly becoming nonsensical. The bastard had been in here minutes ago.
Following the gory trail, I see it leading across the landing and onto the metal door handle of the wood carving workshop. I felt sick to the stomach; there was a lot of heavy machinery in there, and I was dreading what I might find.
The door creaks as I open it, and I hear a strange slushing sound on the floor. It was a heart, and I'd just rolled it out of the way. 
I nearly throw up as I stare at the industrial-sized band saw in the centre of the room; at either side of the toothed metal blade, I see a human arm that has almost been sawn in half, with tiny threads of skin somehow managing to hold the mutilated limb together.
The room was rife with the stinking entrails of this poor victim. Bundled up into the corner was the body of a woman, sure enough, missing an arm and bearing a large hole in her chest where her heart had once been. I could see a chunk of spinal bone sticking out of her neck as well; she was missing her head.
In the far corner of the killing room, I see her face, crushed in between the jaws of a vice, with pieces of her fractured skull poking out through torn white skin. It was Daisy.
'Shit, shit, shit.'
I was supposed to keep my people safe, and in that regard, I had failed miserably. There was no sign of her killer either, no doubt having snuck out already. I think I hear the crazed lady again when someone calls out to me; it takes a moment to realise that it was Jennings and my backup. They were late.
'Up here.' I call, leaning out the door to draw their attention.
Jennings was sick; luckily, it was outside the room. 'Is that?' he gasped.
'Daisy. It is, the poor lady's been torn to pieces.'
'By who?' Jennings asked.
'I don't know, a woman, I think.'
Jennings looked frustrated. 'Are you sure it was a woman, Sir? It's just after we booked Soren into holding; he wouldn't shut up about someone in their crew, a man by the name of Chris Kane. Rumour has it; he escaped from prison back on Earth before changing his identity and hitching a ride up here. I'm also told he hates the government and has a rap sheet that is a mile long, covering charges of assault and battery, to murder and even smuggling.'
'Oh, is that all?' I ask.
'Not quite, Sir. You were his arresting officer.'

Glass doors opened. Shir Ali and Dara saw the luxurious setting of the restaurant. There were columns of mirrors. On the right side, near the white wall, there was a rather big aquarium, where fancy-looking fish swam. On the left side of the wall was a large panel with ancient Greek statues, made in plaster. But the eyes of the statues were gilded.

The ceiling of the restaurant was painted with paintings, landscapes of mountains, fields, rivers were painted there, and in the middle stood the Acropolis.

Dara just said - "what a wretched bad taste"!

Shir Ali - could not object to him!
The floor of the restaurant was covered in pink marble.
His legs were slipping. You could stretch out on it.
On the walls hung decorative trunks of grapes, with leaves and bunches covered with gilding.
A rich but tasteless restaurant.
The gift did not expect much from the restaurant.
Shir Ali invited him to sit at the table. The restaurant had about 20 tables. They were small, but for four people.
The chairs looked similar to the "Viennese", but made of plastic and aluminum with a leather substitute in the form of a seat. And it was already clearly cheap.
However, it was pleasing that the tables were clean, there were beautiful white porcelain vases in which beige napkins stuck out. It was an elegant pink porcelain salt shaker. But there was no menu.
Shir Ali and Dara. They sat for 10 minutes no one approached them. Dara made a wry smile, then Shir Ali went to the checkout counter and asked for a menu. After 5 minutes he was brought. It was a greasy black folder made of substitute leather, inside were heavily worn laminated sheets with photographs of dishes and prices were indicated. They were unexpectedly tall.
Shir Ali at that moment, regretted not believing his cousin.
The price for the pierzole was 600,000 blackbucks. It was one serving. And the prices for the rest of the dishes were higher than for the "pierzola". Since Shchir Ali wanted to bring his cousin to another restaurant, he needed to save. The second dish he could afford was Margherita pizza with tomatoes and two types of cheese. The price was only 200,000 black bucks.
The exchange rate was 1 US dollar = 20,000 black bucks for 2023.
The order has been placed.
After 5 minutes, the waiter brought free black tea in a small 125 ml Amurut glass and a small baking. To wait for the order was not so boring.
But dissatisfied with Dara, he drank a glass in a minute, and he did not like the cookie, it was dry and choked on it. Coughing. The mood was not very.
"Well, and for hell did we come here? We've been waiting for 20 minutes and nothing ..." ?!
"Cousin, don't be nervous, they brought tea!"
"Are you really Shir Ali, is that really tea?"
"Be patient, they will bring everything now!"
Really brought, it was Margarita pizza. She looked like a pancake, and thin. Very thin, the thickness of the pizza was not more than 5 mm. For the whole average pizza, there were only 7 thin slices of tomato. The cheese smelled not very good.
"Dara, how's the taste?"
"Well ... the cheese is not tasty, it has some kind of machine flavor, the cheese does not stretch, the dough burned in the back, the tomatoes are dry. This is not pizza, this is a pancake, and not the tastiest!"
"How much is ... is it worth it?"
"$ 10, somewhere ..." reluctantly shared information Shir Ali.
"Do you call yourself a foodie"? "Is there a burnt, tasteless and expensive pizza? Well, I congratulate you!" said Dara maliciously.
He was disappointed.
But they brought one portion of the pierzole, one for two. That is what Shir Ali did to save a little!
On white, large, porcelain plates, lay two coals on the bones wrapped at the end with foil. These were lamb cutlets, pierzola. In the photographs, this dish looked pinkish with a golden crust. Black embers lay on a plate in front of them. For a small pile of rice, no more than one tablespoon, half of some rolled up pancake and a medallion of tomato and cucumber.
Shir Ali was discouraged by the look, serving and design of this dish. It was clearly losing. But now he wanted to appreciate the taste itself ?! What is he like?
Taking a spoon with rice, Shir Ali tasted it. It was surprisingly dry, rice stuck into the sky, stuck between the teeth. There was no taste at all. It feels like he was eating soaked cardboard.
Yes, rice also failed. Tomato medallions, they had no taste, they didn't smell of tomatoes at all. And the cucumber was kind of slimy.
"Vile, yes"? Dara immediately put in. "I would have cooked better at home, and would not have asked you for 800,000 black bucks. To taste some tasteless food, you wiped out $ 40!"
"Well, I wanted to try, start a gourmet life ..." Shir Ali joked. He was surprised. the reviews were gorgeous by 5 stars, not a single bad!
"Well, what are we trying coals, now"? suggested Dara.
Pirzola ?!
The meat tasted fatty, tasty, but black, charred patches of meat crumbled on the teeth. The most delicious part was where the bone was covered with foil. There was not much meat on the bone. Therefore, two healthy men, did not ate completely two small "pierzola".
And the halves of pancakes in a tube did not have a pronounced taste at all, as if they were eating papers or cotton wool.
In fact, it was a plate of feta cheese, fried in palm oil.

"Well, brother ?! Money down the drain"? said Dara softly.
"For $ 40 we could take a full pilaf with meat of 348 grams, a salad of onions and tomatoes and salt each for a whole plate, we would order 3 puff and tandoori-baked pies with meat and onions. And also 1 teapot of long green tea "!
"And these coals, wet cardboard and cotton!"
Shir Ali, touched his chin with his hand and held down.
"And the reviews were pretty good," he said.
"Yes, you're right, money down the drain"!
"But don't be sad, we'll go straight from here to another restaurant, they serve amazing steaks from the chef!" wandered hungry cousin, Shir Ali.
But Dara continued to doubt ...

Around a 300-chapter novel is 250,000 words.

Haruki felt the pressure of fingers over his wrist artery, but laid his head on the floor again, closing his eyes to avoid the light instinctively.
 The singer felt himself being grabbed and turned on his back. The sun was too strong for Haruki to open his eyes again. But he needed to know who was there. 
He tried to ask and failed, his throat was so dry. Cracking his eyes a little, the singer saw the face of the mysterious man - it was Saito.
The climber brushed the singer's hair off his eyes and placed his palm on the skin of Haruki's forehead. Saito was looking at him with narrowed eyes, concern showing on his furrowed brows. The singer saw the cold glare of reproach in his eyes. 
Haruki felt glad because Saito was helping and didn't reproach him.
"You don't have a fever, so you can drink water," finally Saito said. He took the scarf off his vest, and dipped it in a little water, gently wiping it over Haruki's face. The feeling was refreshing and soothing.
Saito put an arm under the singer's head for support and raised it enough for him to drink. And little by little the liquid was spilled from the bottle. First a little bit on his salty lips that opened up thirstily. 
Haruki felt the coolness of the water moisturizing his lips. The singer opened his mouth to swallow. He eagerly drank the cold liquid, clearing his dry throat, relieving his tiredness after rowing for about an hour non-stop. 
He didn't want to have to give answers now. Not being able, to tell the truth, he would have to lie, and that would be very difficult. 
Saito put his face down again, Haruki felt an electric current run through his body when he felt the climber on his back. The mountaineer took Haruki's wrist carefully and passed one strap of the singer's backpack. 
'Saito is putting Jiji on my back!' Haruki finally understood.
The climber turned him on his side and, using a rescue maneuver, Saito put Haruki across his shoulders. 
Saito performed the procedure with the ease that only a seasoned adventurer has. 'He must have done this countless times on the climbs,' Haruki thought. 
"Saito I'm fine, I can walk," Haruki warned in a tired voice.
The mountaineer just kept walking, ignoring the singer. He got into a large freight elevator and they descended five floors. 
The doors opened, and Saito came out in a corridor with several doors that resembled a cheap hotel. Haruki wondered why the TDM had third-class cabins, but then remembered that Neona was intended to be a bigger project. Perhaps the company behind it all was prepared to allow cheaper Experience Tiers for new users in the future… 
 He walked to the left, stopping in front of a door. Using a common key, he opened it. The place resembled a motel room because it had huge mirrors on the walls, a round bed, and a bar. 
He walked to the large bathroom with a whirlpool bathtub. But it was far from classy and even can't compare with the luxurious and ostentatious Prince's Suite Haruki stayed on. 
Only then did Saito put Haruki on the floor, inside the bathroom.
"You need to get the salt out of your skin before it cracks." 
Saito looked at him and went to turn on the shower. Haruki took Jiji out of his backpack. The lively pet ran into the bathroom and licked the water that fell on the floor. 
Saito came to the singer, ignoring the animal. And he started to take off his clothes. His movements and touches were practical, devoid of eroticism. Haruki entered the shower stall. Saito went in, taking the shampoo, put a generous amount in his hands, and started massaging and rinsing the singer's hair, then his back. Leaving next and allowing Haruki to finish cleaning himself. 
The singer went out and wrapped the towel around his waist, Saito approached him with a tube of cream, 
"It's to relieve muscle pain," he warned, showing the product. 
The climber went to his back and massaged Haruki's shoulder blades. Contrary to Daisuke, Saito knew how to press the right points to relieve pain… Probably because he knew how to cause it, Haruki shivered.
 The singer bit his lip to keep from groaning. That had already happened in the bath.
 The massage and the pressure were good. The body, once exhausted, was now being stimulated, causing goosebumps out of pleasure. The singer knew the climber was using sports massages to relieve his tiredness. There was no sexual connotation in his touch, he was being generous. But Haruki even held his breath to keep from groaning and changing the mood.
After finishing, Saito left Haruki alone to get dressed.
"It reminds me of something I want to show you." Saito pointed to a puddle of Jiji's pee. The kitten was now over the sink, pulling the end of the towel. 
Saito went to clean up the kitten's pee.
"Wait, I'll do it," Haruki hurried to finish dressing with clean clothes from the backpack.
But Saito just ignored him and finished cleaning, going to wash his hands meticulously afterward. Haruki noticed his cool ring, staring at his rough hands… And shivered again. Those hands were capable of many things...
"As I said, if you are okay, there is something I want you to see. Then we are going to eat, and you are going to sleep and give your muscles and body a good rest," a bossy Saito said.
Haruki nodded and followed him, taking Jiji with them.
Saito took them to a small room two floors down. It was a surveillance room, cramped with servers and screens.
After fiddling with a computer for a few minutes, Saito called him close.
The first thing Haruki realized was that they were scenes from the Prince's Suite.
 The singer was now watching scenes that were not supposed to have been recorded. 
He started by seeing who called the TMD Concierge System using his name: Jun. 
'But why didn't he say anything? I wouldn't have asked around if I knew he did it,' Haruki questioned himself.
Saito sped up the footage, which showed Jun preparing the suite for the romantic date. 
'That explains why he didn't want it to be recorded, he planned to get us to the very end!' Haruki understood Jun's ulterior motives to prevent the developers from seeing it. Haruki just didn't know why this footage wasn't deleted. Perhaps it was only stored inside the game, but the developers couldn't see it if they didn't know exactly what to look for? He heard something about it from his tech-savvy friends.
Saito returned the normal speed of the video when Haruki started dancing. 
'How many times has he watched this?' Haruki questioned himself, feeling quite embarrassed. He knew what would come next. 
But at this moment Haruki watched himself at the SPA, dancing for Jun, who was watching from inside the jacuzzi. 
The singer felt Saito's gaze on him. The climber had not asked questions, just had taken care of him and brought him to see the footage. Saito paused the video,
"I didn't know Jun was a guy who appreciates other guys dancing," Saito chuckled. 
Haruki felt his jaw clench and his heart squeeze in pain. Had Jun only endured his performance to get laid?
The climber sped up the next images in which the couple was making out in the jacuzzi. Then, the other guys' arrival; they leaving; Haruki getting dressed and leaving; Jun alone, punching the water and leaving the pool, visibly angry. Then getting dressed and leaving the Suite. 
The suite only with the movements of the cat playing and destroying the curtains, then dropping small decorative objects. 
Saito resumed the transmission at the normal pace when a cleaning android entered the suite. He changed the curtains, throwing the old one out in the dump. He picked up the broken objects and threw them in the dump.
 The cat was now digging the sand on the litter box. 
The android went to the litter box and observed the kitten pooping with interest. Then picked the litter box with the kitten inside, taking it to the dump pit, and threw them away. 
Saito paused the scene at the exact moment the kitty stared at the android in fright seconds before falling into the trap. 
Saito spoke before Haruki, who started by bowing to 90 degrees, babbling his apologies.
"We went nuts when we realized you were missing. Honda-san said he didn't know where you were. And he gave us his TMD access key for 24 hours to look for you on the ship. He went to talk to the team responsible for the TMD. It was with his key I was able to find these files."
"Saito, forgive me. I will make up for this mistake. For having misjudged you..." the singer was mortified for having condemned the mountaineer without evidence.
"Haruki, start cleaning up everything the kitten gets dirty. Or it will happen again. About me: I don't like cats. I didn't know that this was a prerequisite for being a good person. I found out it is, at least for you." 
Saito stared at the singer. Haruki was still bowing and staring at Saito's shoes. He continued, "I had a wolf. I found him in Eastern Europe, almost dead, trapped. It had already torn his leg in an attempt to break free. It spent months at the vet. And I had to spend a lot of money and went to a lot of hassle to bring it with me. Two weeks later, when we were at my house, I heard the sound of gunshots and I looked. An unknown man drove by and shot my friend Three Paws." Saito spoke in a deep voice, in a low, low tone. "I could never have another animal since."
Haruki's eyes were moist, and since her head was down, tears fell to the floor. The singer felt miserable.
"Let's go now." Saito turned off the machines, taking a chip with him. He had a copy of the footage.
Haruki rarely felt so ashamed before. He owed a huge debt to the mountaineer now, so he obeyed him without protest. 
They went back to the same suite. Saito took off his suit, unbuttoned his vest, showing the chair for the singer to sit on. 
Saito helped himself to a drink, which he turned around at once, without offering the singer. 
The bell rang.
Haruki's heart raced, wondering who of the other men had arrived and would find him there with Saito in a motel room with a mirror on the ceiling?
Haruki stood up, facing Saito for the first time since he saw the truth in the video. 
Saito looked back at him, raising an eyebrow and making a sign that he was to remain seated. 
Haruki sat down again, praying that it wouldn't be Jun outside.
The climber went to answer the door, untying his tie.
