Adrian “Andy” Barringer lives out his teenage days as a high schooler. He was burying his dark past as a mysterious best-selling author who wrote under the disguise of a 14-year-old girl. 

At the opening ceremony, Aliceliese Granger was spotted him when she was eating a piece of paper from a book. Because of that, she forced him to join the literature club, and she’s the only other member of the club and a self-proclaimed “literature maiden” who precisely eats written words. Andy writes some short stories that serve as snacks for her.

One day, the club receives a request from a student who asks them to help her write a love letter for her crush. What comes to be a simple request for love advice soon changes into something more sinister when Andy delves deeper into the matter.

Tolstoy is known as one of the best authors in history, yet one of his most famous quotes is him stating "Literature is rubbish" on the level of Nietzsche's "God is dead." He was the physical form of contradictions, an aristocrat addressing poverty and the peasant life, speaking of them as virtues. This novel is a biography, but it reads like a fictional novel.

On the Second day of Seminar Dr. Visual submitted his paper on Social Impotence and readout to audience in the Seminar. 

SOCIAL IMPOTENCE: 

This Social Impotence is categorised by the inability to cope up for social interactions of any kind. This happens sometimes after the demise of a loved one and is accompanied by grief and general disinterest in person's social activity. 

 

The following are the causes for disinterest : 

 

* Not participating in social activities. 

* Shy feeling in moving outside world. 

* Always staying at house. 

* Lack of prior relationship. 

* Lack of proper education. 

* Lack of Public Relations.. 

* Not speaking to anybody. 

* Guilty feeling. 

* Degrading self and confining to home. 

* Addiction to drugs. 

* Over dosage of drugs. 

* Not developing brain maturity. 

* Not participating in social & cultural events. 

* Ill feelings. 

* Not marrying in life. 

* Late marriages. 

* Staying alone in Life. 

* Vexed in Life. 

* Failed Love Affairs and staying away in Public. 

* Failed Marriages and Guilty to move outside. 

* Death of Husband or Wife, and going in deep 

 perversions. 

* Brain disorders. 

* Health issues 

* Handicapped issues. 

* Mentally Retarded issues. 

* Social And psychiatric aspects. 

* Many more causes for leading to social impotence. 

 

Example : Wife and Husband jolly-well lead family life with two or three kids. Suddenly, husband dies due to some reason. Wife feels. She becomes nervous. She cannot show interest to come out in the society. She is confined to her house looking after her kids. She becomes degraded. She feels some sort of inconvenience to move in the society as like before. She feels some tension, uneasy. She becomes lonely. This type of feeling leads her to Social Impotence. 

 

Such type of impotence is quite common in men and women. But, one should be Stubborn in their life to move further with a string ambition to lead the life and see that children are shaped and groomed well in their growth. 

 

In another case Husband dies of heart attack suddenly. The wife till such time always at house while nurturing children, never moves out of house, as like her husband. Now, the problems comes up. The wife to have boldness and move in the outside world to bring the children up. It is the question of leading the life. She cannot become a social impotence. It means, she should not be unfit to move outside world as like other Of course, the set backs are there for anybody. Such set backs are to overcome and lead a better life than before. In this case she has to inculcate the habit of earning, it reasonably qualified. As everybody knew well that time will not stop for everybody. Days roll, Months pass, years role, people change.

PART II
Vishals takes birth again on Earth. The story of Vishal starts from his childhood and he becomes Physician and a Doctor in a family.

I was confined for a whole week without any food, punishments are given seriously over here in the demon realm :(. It seems that I running away from the mansion was a very serious thing. I think the people working in the mansion got their salary cut since then everyone has been staring at me with killing intent . I seriously regretted doing that, food is very important to me due to cultivation. But being confined in a week wasn't that bad also, I started since the first day of the punishment with the plan of devouring everything made by the chefs after the punishment fufu. 

As soon as the punishment period got over I ate everything made by the chefs like a hungry dog. It doesn't hurt seeing their shocked faces every once in a while haha. 

Since it was daytime I thought of exploring my mansion. Maybe I could find some secret exits. I visited the butler grounds. In all there are up to 72 butlers and maids in the mansion. 50 are normal housework and the rest are for guardian me exclusively. Now I don't even have a lot of freedom because of my stunt they are paying even more attention towards me. 

Let's go to the training ground (gym, running track etc) first. I could see some butlers training with their ripped bodies. I gritted my teeth 'How do these mfk*rs have such bodies even after eating so much I don't gain any weight!! F*CK THEM'. I m gonna go and stuff my mouth with ice cream. 
***
After the training ground I went to the hall where there were numerous paintings and sculptures of my father. Next on the spot was the terrace. This is my most favorite part of the mansion, I can see the entire city view from here. The fresh breeze and the peaceful atmosphere especially at night. I also enjoy Puck's poems over here at night. You might not believe me because Puck is pretty famous to be mischievous with his pranks when he was young but this guy is a genius he loves to write poems and blabbers quotes all the time. I have given names to every person I have met since my reincarnation. 

Puck- Calculative Bast*rd
Finneas- Old man(nothing else comes to mind except for him being obsessed with father) 
Tommy- Fat Dog!! ( every maid in the house dotes on him, this guy is living more like a prince than me) 
Rhyner- Plain blondie
Yoosong- Korean named girl who is all about that she doesn't have any authority. 

I don't really talk to any other person in the mansion but I can feel their hostile intent right now. *cough cough let's go to the library. 

The library is enormous and has many shelves full of books. I had not noticed this but all the literature and studies are pretty interesting. Science, Maths(hate this subject), History 'Hey let's try to see if my name is there. '

Though I can remember everything due to cultivation I think I would be a total dumbo if I couldn't cultivate lmao. 

In the fairy realm, we didn't really have that advance of a civilization. All high class species would come to the realm through evolution and then they would join sects. Fairies were not even that social, most of them were like shut ins either cultivating or eating sweets. Fairies love eating sweet food, even after becoming a demon I haven't forgotten my sweet tongue. 

In the middle of all the admiring, Finneas personaly came to find me. 
" Ah Finneas what brings you to see me? "
"The Majesty has recalled you"
"Is it because I ran away? "
He shook his head "You will come to know when you go over there"
'Why is he trying to be so MYSTERIOUSSSS?!?!"
"Ahem*cough cough okay let's go to meet him"

Drifting across the abyss was the soul of a celestial. 

Immensely loved by the universe yet bound by the chains of nihility, he was never able to leave his ruling realm due to constraints.

Time passed, moments became days, days became years and years became eons. 

Did he even exist? He didn't know the answer to that. 

Suddenly a bright light apeared in the abysmal darkness, he was overjoyed thinking that he might not have been alone. 

To his dismay, it was not another residue soul but instead a single page with letters incomprehensible. 

Upon reading the page, great pain struck his astral self shattering it and merging with the page. The pain was so great that he lost consciousness. 

Upon waking up, he noticed he was no longer in the void.

~

In his first life he was the King of Fairies, in his second life he was a normal human in a parallel world.

His arrogance and narcissism had toned down quite a bit due to becoming a powerless being.

Still he didn't give up hope!

He was finally able to become a world renowned pianist.

And a secret doctor in the underword, using his expert acupuncture techniques.

Many thought that he was a chunnibyo because of how he talked, he ignored them all.

Many women threw themselves at him, but he rejected them all.

Even though he had become human he refused to even look at a human girl.

Ugly! That's how they looked to him.

Him, who had seen world shaking beauties couldn't even bare to look at human women.

Hence many people thought he was gay and sent gay people to him to curry favor with.

Result?

He killed the bastards!

In the end, his second life was like a joke.

Choking on cup noodles his life came at an abrupt end.

But the end is a start of another beginning.

And this beginning would be the best one ever.

...
..
.

One thing is certain, beauties from all the realms, be it the Celestial or the Godly! All would fall in love with him! The Almighty Stepfather!

This is a light read, not comedy nor too serious.

'I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS CARRR, WOO HOO' 

Dunkers SHUT UP!!

'kay' 

Now stop making the sad face. 

'Am not' 

Rose, stop talking to your subconscious. 

Rose stop fucking talking to yourself.

I was driving this beloved car with Nate following me in his new car a black BMW i8 specs, don't even ask me how he managed to get hold of it. 

'You are just jealous,' Dunkers pointed out. 

AM NOT!! I love my beautiful Porsche. 

He was going to school under his real name Nathaniel Wild. 

Don't get confused my mother had chosen the name Wilder for both of us on a whim that we were 'wilder' than these two boys. 

So while my mom and I were wilder, dad and Nate were Wild. 

Yup, my mom has her moments now and then. 

I got to school and passed people who did a double-take on Nate's car as it followed mine into the parking lot. 

I got out of mine and went straight into the building, not wanting to attract attention towards me, not that anyone was paying me any thanks to Nate's stupid car. 

He had flashed the keys in front of me all morning in an attempt to make me jealous. 

Both Sofia and Mason had left early in the morning to the house where Mason lives. Two guards had been sent to there house as well. 

If you are wondering then yes all these people are the trusted members of the gang. Sigh 

Anyways, I was in front of my locker already. 

I dumped my bag in it and got my biology binder and book out of the bag and started towards the first class. 

I entered the class and took my seat beside Sofia. I didn't know she had the first-period bio, and before I could say anything, a boy with a pierced nose came to our desk. 

"Yo that's my seat," he said in an arrogant tone, my fist clenched. 

Okay so maybe the old Rose was really back cause Sofia stiffened at this gesture. 

"Yo I don't see your name written on it," I said back copying his tone. 

This guy was short, I mean more than average short but was bulky. He had muscles I could see that in his arms. 

"Hey go to your regular seat I am supposed to sit next to her," he said pointing at Sofia 

Ohh I see what this is about. 

I stood up and instantly he had to look up at me. I think this guy would have even been shorter than Sof. 

"Well, now I am sitting here so scoot ahead and find someone else you are 'supposed' to sit with," I said making air quotes and he glared at me and I didn't break the eye contact, I stared him down. 

Then Sofia took hold of my wrist and pulled me back down on my seat. 

Just then Mr. Cohen entered the class. 

"Mr. Stewart I suggest you take your seat and stop standing and talking to girls."

"Mr. Cohen she is sitting in my seat." he accused point his finger at me. 

Mr. Cohen looked us and then him, he must have decided to place his judgment in our favor cause he went, "So? I don't see your name written on the seat," he said calmly. 

"But sir..." he was cut off. 

"No ifs and buts, get your butt on that empty seat now," he said pointing at the seat with a really thin dude who seemed to believe he was still in bed cause his eyes were half-closed and the chair seemed to be the only thing supporting him. 

Wow, this teacher right here is my favorite teacher now. 

Biology was over in no time, the bell rang and I was off for History and Sof and Mason left for their class, Sof had told me that most of her classes were with Mason cause her parents had called up the school and wanted them to put her in Mason's classes. 

*** 

I was sitting in Literature. This was the only class where I had no partner but that changed as Ryder walked in and spotted me sitting alone, he walked over without hesitation and threw his books at my desk and sat next to me. 

"Where the fuck did you and Ash go yesterday?" he asked annoyed. 

"And Sofia wasn't visible anywhere either," he complained. Oh yeah both he and Ash had hitched the ride with me yesterday. I totally forgot about that. 

"You know I had to walk before I spotted some kid and forced him to give me a ride home," he said as if it was his daily routine to torture kids. 

"A walk didn't kill you Ryder so I don't see a problem in it," I said. 

"And as for Ash, you will have to ask him," I continued looking for the page we were on. 

"But seriously where did you go?" he was angling his whole body towards me. 

So I finally turned to look at him. 

"None of your business Cullen," I said as the teacher entered. 

Ryder seemed more interested in my business now. 

I sighed. 

He kept annoying me until the teacher asked him to pay attention. 

After the class ended I tried to make a run for it but he didn't seem to have any problem catching up with me. 

"What class do you have now?" 

"Oh my gosh!! what's with the interrogation man," I said out loud finally. 

This guy had managed to turn my happy Porsche day around. 

"Geez take a chill pill Rose, just asking so I could walk with you," he said in his most innocent tone. 

"You already are dumbass," I said back, he just chuckled. We were at the lockers and he stood there and waited till I exchanged my books. 

"So you are heading off to literature," He snatched the books out of my hand and started walking in the direction of my class. 

"You gonna do free labor for me now, what do you want?" I asked suspiciously, something was up here. 

His eyebrows scrunched up as if contemplating whether to tell me or not. 

"Just say it," I urged him to tell me. I was curious now. 

"Umm canyougivemesofiasnumber." 

"What?" 

He sighed. 

"Sofia's number Rose." He said in a no nonsense voice. 

Wow. I laughed till my stomach hurt and eyes watered. I was clutching my stomach and Ryder had rolled his eyes about every time I tried to say something. 

Everyone was watching us as we passed them. 

"Are you done?" he asked once my laughter had died and I was gasping for air. 

"Yeah, I am," I said trying to sober myself up.

"And what is so funny in this?" 

I thought for a second. 

"You just....seem like the 'steal-the-number-from-the-office-not-ask-it-from-the-best-friend' kinda guy," I said after a thought. 

He hung his head as I looked up.

"Uhh yeah, I tried that. Got the number. But it didn't connect," he said guiltily. 

I laughed at that even more. Come on I couldn't help it. 

Oh yeah, I had broken her sim and phone and last night the lawyer had helped us deactivate our numbers and get new ones. The thought sobered me up.

"Uhh, you might have to ask that from Sof herself." with that snatched my books and dashed into literature. 

"So what, I did all that free labor for you for nothing?" his voice followed me in class and I chuckled. 

I sat on the seat that was usually mine and not the one Ash had dragged me on, the guy who had to shift his seat last time stood in front of me with his arms crossed. I glared up at him to get the message and move on. 

"Get moving paint girl, I am not ready to face Ash's wrath," he bit out

Wrong move my nerves were already high.

I got up and he must have thought that I was changing the seats cause he took a step forward. 

My fist was already clasped just the way it should be while punching someone and his nose took the hit. 

Everyone was deadly silent for a second and then they laughed it off. 

"From next time think about facing my wrath first," I said and sat back down on my seat. 

It felt good to finally have done something physical after all the fucking dramatics that had taken place. 

Fortunately for me, the guy was terrified enough to not say a thing to authorities. 

I waited and bounced in my seat, waiting for Ash's arrival. The teacher arrived. Some late students did as well. 

But Ash didn't show up and not seeing him hurt in a way I couldn't explain.

"So," Kishan said turning back to face me with a mildly amused smile, "would you like to have cookies with me?"

I could not help but let out a sigh before I smiled back. "Sure just let me grab some coffee." With that he went to sit at the table. 

Click click click click

I heard the sound of him typing on his phone as I made myself a cup of instant coffee. As I pulled out the chair to sit down however he quickly closed it and put it face down on the table.

"So Bailey," he said looking up at me as I gently stirred the milk into my coffee. His dark eyes were lit with amusement. "How likely is it that we've been set up?" he asked casually. 

I slightly raised an eye brow at his direct attitude. I sipped my coffee to buy time to contemplate my answer.

"Well it's not an accident that I'm here but I find it hard to believe Ariel would fake car troubles not to be here, so I don't know." I decided to answer honestly. I have always appreciated people who cut to the chase rather than being cryptic and beating around the bush.

I was raised up north where people say what they mean and mean what they say. However the summer before I started high school my family moved to just an hour north of New Orleans on the Northshore of Lake Pontchartrain. I still lived in the area.

Kishan's calm yet direct attitude was a breath of fresh air to me. This kind of attitude can be hard to find in the south.

"Hmm," was all he said as he sipped his coffee. I took advantage of the momentary silence that no longer felt as awkward to take a bite from a cookie. "You said you were an English Lit. major so tell me, what is your favorite classic?"

"Pride and Prejudice," I answered easily. I can always talk about books.

"How come?"

"Well, originally I fell in love with the 6 hour mini series as a child. It was my favorite 'movie'," I made air quotes with one hand. "I can still waste a day watching it. I didn't actually read the book until I was in high school but I was not disappointed with it at all. It's not just my favorite classic, it's my favorite period."

He smiled in a relaxed manor that made him very easy to talk to. Though I am generally the quiet type until you get to know me my words flowed naturally. His whole presence gave off a very calm but sturdy feeling that was aided by his smooth baritone voice. 

Also did I mention he was handsome? Dangerously so.

"What do you like about it so much?" he asked taking a bite of his own cookie. 

"I love the dynamic between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy as they get to know each other and fall in love in spite of themselves. And how they still end up together even though Mr. Darcy screwed up his initial proposal.

"Not only that, I love how the side characters have their own love stories and are well thought out. The problems they all face real problems but nothing so exaggerated like todays romances. Don't get me wrong, I love a good K-drama but exactly how many people actually fall into a coma only to wake up and have temporary amnesia?

"Though it's a historical romance it's so much easier to relate to how one simply falls for a person in spite of everything. Jane and Mr. Bingley are so sweet together providing the perfect compliment to Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy's turbulent relationship." 

As I spoke he listened attentively sipping his coffee and finishing off a cookie. Finally I realized I was rambling on about a romantic story, which he probably would not be interested in, so I ended my speech.

"So," I said mildly embarrassed. "Do you like to read?"

"No," he answered then allowed a dramatic pause to happen before continuing, "I love it. So much so I just recently finished my PHD in English Literature." His smile was slightly playful as he finished his sentence.

My face rapidly switched from showing my momentary stomach clenching horror from embarrassing myself to wide eyed with surprise.

'So this man likes to play jokes,' was my first thought. 

"Mr. Kishan, was the dramatic pause really necessary?" I complained knowing I had been had.

"Hmm," he took another sip of his coffee. "I'm not sure what you're referring to," he said though his expression still said otherwise.

I let it go with a small sigh. "Then what is your favorite?" I asked sipping my own coffee. He thought for a moment before answering.

"I can't say I have a favorite book but my favorite collection would have to be the Sherlock Holmes series."

"So you're a mystery type." 

The conversation flowed naturally from then on as we continued to discuss different books we had both read. We discovered we had a lot of the same taste in literature and before we realized it the cookies were gone and our coffee was cold. 

Almost an hour later Ariel and her mom finally returned. When the door opened the two of us had been laughing over a comedic part of the book we were discussing. I looked over and met Ariel's inquisitive gaze. 

"Sorry we're so late," Ariel's mom said looking up at the clock that hung on the wall. "The tow truck took much longer to show up than they initially said." Both her and Ariel walked over to the table. "Kishan this my daughter Ariel, Ariel this is Kishan."

Kishan stood and shook her hand as they exchanged greetings. Ariel was all done up ready for her date wearing a beautiful bright orange dress. Reminding me that she knew what would happen when I came over dressed like I normally was.

"It's unfortunate but I don't think we will be able to make our dinner reservation tonight," Kishan said looking at his leather watch. 

"We can reschedule for tomorrow night if you're free," Ariel's mom suggested.

"Actually," Kishan hesitated for a moment before saying, "if it's alright with you I would like to change plans." He turned to look at me with an anxious expression and continued, "Bailey, would you like to go out with me tomorrow night?"

I instantly blushed at the unexpected question. "Aaa sure," I said somewhat dazed. His shoulders and face relaxed at my response. I had not noticed when they had tensed. 

We quickly exchanged numbers and set a time for him to pick me up from my place. As he was leaving he turned his head around to say, "Make sure you dress up tomorrow." 

Thunk. The door closed behind him leaving us three women standing there momentarily stunned. It was Ariel's mom who broke the silence.

"Bailey, if you are scheduled to work tomorrow get someone to cover your shift. We need to spend the day shopping for a dress."

"Aaa, I'm off tomorrow." 

"Good. Be here by 9 o'clock and we will all go together. This is unexpected but a good result nonetheless." She promptly turned to leave, leaving no room for discussion. 

Thunk. The door closed behind her as she left. As soon as she did Ariel grabbed the sleeve of my hoodie and started jumping up and down excitedly.

Brandon's POV

It was already five in the evening and I was pumped up to get back to the room and relax, but here I was walking up the stairs to get to the literature clubroom instead.

 The club president had called all the members in for a sudden session and effectively cancelled all my plans for a relaxation retreat. 
 
Oh wait, who was I kidding. Even if I went back, I would have had to work on the BL draft. 

I sighed and opened the door. " Aha, here you are. That just leaves Talia. We can begin as soon as she's here. " Shin, the literary club president said as he ushered me inside. 

I quickly took a seat at the long wooden table that was in the middle of the room. I always loved the feeling it gave off. It just finished the beautiful vintage vibe that the room was filled with.

 Bookshelves covered three walls of the room, which were filled to the extent that you couldn't see any empty spaces anywhere. The books were on loan to us by the university's library and were a part of a rotation system. Every six months, the entire collection would be swapped by another set and so on.
 
 The last free wall was the one with the door and had framed quotes of famous authors. As usual, I dazed off dreamily as I looked around. 

The door suddenly opened with an intense force and Talia, the high-pony-tailed girl stood at the entrance. " Oh my god, I am so sorry for being late. My class ended late as usual!!! " She said as she made her way to the seat next to mine. 

" That's alright. That's alright. " Shin said as he sat at the head of the table. " Alright, so most of the seniors know why we're all here. But since it's the first time for the freshers, I'll make an official announcement. " He continued.

The few of us who were new looked at each other to see if anyone knew anything.

 " So every year, the university holds its very own club fest, where all the clubs set up stalls to showcase their activities. 
 
There is also a contest at the end of the day for the most popular club, the most diligent club and so on. Are you guys able to follow? " He asked as he stopped to look at us. 

Talia, me and the others nodded and he continued.

 " So like every year, we have partnered up with the journaling club. Since our club is more about writing, the journaling club helps us by giving us an entire page of the club-fest special edition newspaper to showcase our writeups and they get an entire page filled.
 
 It's a win-win situation for both of us. 

But this year, due to the increase in the number of clubs and because they're short on members, they've reached out to us for help.

They want us to cover a few of the clubs, get information, get photographs and do an article on each of them. " 

 The seniors muttered amongst themselves as they listened. " We've got two weeks till the fest. And since this is a sudden meeting, we can't really put out all our ideas now. 
 
So what I want all of you to do is to brainstorm what our club's stall should be this year, and also brainstorm how we're going to split our time and members to help out the journaling club without affecting our preparation. 

We'll have our normal session tomorrow where we'll come up with a solid plan after hearing out all of your ideas. And yep, that's pretty much it. You guys can head back now. Any doubts? " He concluded. 

Everyone started talking to each other but did not raise any questions. Seeing that there were no doubts, Shin adjourned the meeting and everyone started leaving. 

I stood up and started walking out when Talia joined me. Talia was also one of my classmates from high school along with Kris. But I didn't know much about her since we were in different classes back then. 

" We're going to get swamped with work, aren't we? " She said with a frown. Talia was an engineering major and often had more evening classes instead of morning sessions. 

" I guess so. But it sounds like it's going to be fun too. " I replied with a shrug. " Oh, it better be. That's the only reason I would take on more work. " She said as she rolled her eyes.

" Alright, I have to go. See ya later. " She said as she ran off. I waved back to her and was left alone in my thoughts again. 

Guess I can head back now. I thought. 

Just then, a hand grabbed my shoulder and I jumped at the sudden movement.
