"Do you like them...? Gamers"
"Of course, I like them. They are cool and strong and powerful."
"Do you... wanna be... like them?
"Actually, I do... I, I just... wanna shine like a star... just like them."
"Z......, don't do that."
"Huh?"
"The world down there......., is hell."
"Hell?"
"I mean, just give up on that. You don't wanna do that, trust me. You are not like them."
"...?"
"All I'm saying that, that these guys are, are just like mindless pricks."
"They are?"
"They don’t know what they are doing or chasing or everything. And you, you don't wanna be like them."
"Wait, I don't wanna be someone who doesn't know what he is doing or chasing or anything."
"Yeah, they are just some stupid human beings."
"Okay then, I won't be like them. But I, I will be someone else then."
"What?"
"Someone else, somewhat different. I gonna be... I wanna be someone... someone like... me. YEAH, I, I COULD BE ME, SOMEONE LIKE ME, BEAN.
"You wanna... hold on, hold on a second... You wanna WHAT?
"Yeah, I, I will be me, just me, Bean. I promise."
"..."
"And once I finally be me, then I will go become the No. 1 gamer."
“Huff…, there he goes again. You never listen to me. Do you?"
"You just wait and watch. I will shine like a star, in a way like me."
"Okay. But not for this night mate. Go to sleep, now."
"Um... Okay."

Born in a different universe, Trex, a former computer operating system/artificial intelligence, woke up to find himself in a world that revolves around the energy called mana. 

In a late 20th century that has a European flair, Trex opens up a store similar to the early 21st century arcade that was filled with games. Remembering how his last master's wishes were before he perished, he aims to create a virtual world beyond what the reality could provide.


Unfortunately for him, in a society where individuals are seen as more important than an entire city, the cultural difference made a simple wish turn into something even more.

(I will change the title of the new cover comes out)

The weather was gloomy. Normally, Isamu would have chosen to stay at home and play video games. But, for some reason, Isamu felt stifled at home, and chose to go outside instead.
And then, it rained.
Luckily, by the time it started raining, Isamu had reached his goal—the game center, or arcade.
This game center had several floors, each containing many arcade machines of various genres. Isamu would come here on occasion.
Although Isamu preferred singleplayer games, arcade games also had their own charisma. Playing an arcade game would feel entirely different from a singleplayer game at home. Of course, part of it was also his childhood nostalgia.
When younger, Isamu had spent much of his pocket money on arcade games. There were also other kids that played arcade games together with him, but they had all lost contact with each other.
Isamu first played a new 2D fighting arcade game that came out recently. Next, he played a racing game. After that, he was about to play a shooting game, when he saw to his surprise...
"Class president?"
A beautiful girl with a cold and calm expression was standing in front of the shooting arcade game. She wore a white long-sleeved shirt and blue jeans. She had dark brown short hair, half-rimmed eyeglasses, deep red eyes, and a pretty face.
She was shooting at the arcade machine screen while holding the gun in a very standard two-hand posture. She shot swiftly and steadily. Clear gunshots, impacts, and enemies' screams could be constantly heard from the arcade machine.
Not only was Isamu surprised to see this, he also felt that this was a beautiful scene. He felt that his class president seemed so cool as if she really knew how to use guns.
This girl's name was Riho Heijou. She was the class president of Isamu's class. She had excellent grades, and was considered the reliable type. Although she rarely talked or smiled, she was still quite popular in class. Everyone viewed her as a big sister type.
Isamu hadn't talked to her much before. They barely counted as acquaintances. He found it surprising that he met her here.
Isamu had never heard before that class president Riho was fond of gaming. He felt that she would be more into reading novels or the like…
Did she come into this game arcade center in order to avoid the rain?
Isamu wanted to go over and greet her. However, she was currently in the middle of her game. Not only that, he wasn't certain if she wouldn't be displeased at seeing a classmate here… perhaps he should silently leave without saying anything?
Just as he was wondering what he should do, she noticed his attention and turned to look at him.
They exchanged direct glances.
Isamu felt a mysterious shiver run through him when he met her dark red eyes.
Although she was beautiful, Riho had a distant expression that seemed empty and devoid, as if she didn't care about anything in the world.
"Isamu Seima-san… Hello." She greeted him lightly.
"Er… Hello, Class President… I've never expected to meet you here, haha." Isamu laughed foolishly.
Riho only glanced over him before she returned her attention to the arcade screen and continued playing her game.
Isamu felt rather awkward. He didn't know if he should leave or stay.
He felt that something seemed off about his class president. After some hesitation, he chose to stay behind. He walked over to Riho's side, inserted a coin into the arcade machine, and started playing the shooting game together with her.
Isamu then discovered that his class president was amazingly strong at this game! Her shooting was so accurate as if she had really shot a gun before. She had near-perfect accuracy.
Was she highly familiar with this game? Could it be that she often came to play it?
Isamu didn't think so… If Riho came here that often, he felt that he would have met her here already long ago.
He decided to ask out of curiosity.
"Class President, you're amazing at this game. Do you often come here to play this game?"
"No, this is my first time playing it," Riho replied calmly.
First time… Isamu felt like Riho was unintentionally bragging. He was rendered speechless.
"Did you come in here to avoid the rain?"
"Yeah."
"I come play the games here from time to time…"
Isamu was unable to continue the casual conversation anymore. He thus started talking about the game they were playing. Riho listened quietly, and only responded to direct questions.
They shot mobs, reloaded ammunition, and defeated bosses… The two of them skillfully beat all the levels until they finally beat the entire game and saw the ending screen.
After Isamu put down the game gun, he was about to ask class president Riho if she wanted to continue playing a different game together. At this moment, he suddenly heard a scream!
"Ahhhhhh grrrrrwwaarrrrrllll!"
At first, the scream sounded human, but then it started sounding bestial. As everyone in the game center looked around in bewilderment, Isamu suddenly recalled the strange dream world he previously experienced…
Could it be the Sin Masks from that dream? Could it be that Sin Activation was happening in real life now!?
Before he could think more on this, there were then multiple screams, and lots of loud noises and even more screams!!
Boom!!!
Isamu and Riho looked over to see a figure viciously crashing into an arcade machine in the corner. That person crashed into the machine with such speed that the machine was demolished. The person sank into the wreckage with a distorted body that was spurting blood…
It would be impossible for anyone to throw themselves at such a high speed… He had been tossed into the machine!
Although everyone else in the game center was shocked and dazed at the sight, Isamu realized what was going on.
No matter what was going on, whether it was Sin Mask Activation, or some other cause, a monster had appeared in the game center!!!
What should he do!?
He could only escape… this wasn't the dream world. He didn't have any special powers in real life! Nor did he have a weapons!!
Just as Isamu was thinking this, a tremendous monster appeared in his field of vision.
This monster had a red body and a black bird's head. Its arms and claws were long, but its legs and feet were stubby and short. Many gray spikes protruded from all over its body, especially its back. The monster was also emitting faint red mist from its mouth. This monster appeared vicious and ugly, and gave everyone a tremendous sense of terror!
People instantly started screaming and running. There were also others that collapsed on the ground, stood still where they were in a daze, or trembled all over…
Isamu wanted to escape immediately!!!
He turned around to leave. Although he felt bad about abandoning the other people present, there was truly nothing that he could do. At most, he could take the class president along with him… wait, where was the class president!?
He turned around and saw to his astonishment that his class president, the girl named Riho Heijou, was actually walking towards the monster!!
"Class President! Don't go over there!" Isamu shouted loudly.
Yet, Riho didn't slow down at all. Instead, she reached out to the monster with her hand.
Had she gone insane!? Isamu was so shocked that he didn't know what was going on anymore.
The bird head monster also reached out its hand, and gently shook the girl's hand… such a thing didn't happen at all!
This wasn't a movie filming with a beauty and the beast topic!
What really happened was that the bird head monster reached out with its claw and grabbed Riho, squeezing her hard!
Riho screamed with incomparable pain in her voice.
This was only natural.
Could there be any other possible outcome when you walked towards such a monster and reached your hand out to it!?
Isamu couldn't understand why his class president would do such a thing. He couldn't even curse at her for being an idiot, because he was too shocked at her action.
But, no matter why she did that, Isamu was quite clear on one thing.
His class president was about to die!
In the next minute, right in front of him! She would be squeezed to death by the monster!
And, he had no way of stopping this.
He was about to watch someone he knew die right in front of him, and he wouldn't be able to do anything at all.
Why?
Because he had no power…
'No! I do have power!'
But, that wasn't a power that Isamu could use in real life. That was a power he only had in his dreams, while he was asleep…
'Give up! Run away now. All you can do now is protect your own life,' Isamu's voice whispered to himself in his own mind.
'No! If you run away now, you'll live for the rest of your life regretting that you abandoned your classmate to die,' another version of his own voice whispered to him.
But, even if he didn't run, he couldn't save her!
No, he could! As long as he used that power he possessed in the dream world, here in real life...
Transform his dream into reality!
Transform his ideal into reality!
'Isamu Seima! What is your dream!?'
'My dream is…'
Isamu's spirit suddenly reached a certain realm, coming into contact with something subconscious.
A certain sentence suddenly reentered his mind. It was almost as if that person had especially given him a hint, or perhaps guidance.
"Your justice is within yourself."
'I understand now, Seigo Harano-kun.
'Appear! Activate! My power!!!'
Isamu's spirit transformed his power into reality and shook his very soul as something arose from deep within him and transformed into an owl mask that appeared on Isamu's face.
And then, there was a brilliant light…


Translator note: Apologies to the readers. This series is currently on hiatus. We ask for your understanding!
A 30-year-old Chinese NEET is reincarnated into the body of an otaku that choked to death on instant noodles. As he comes to grips with his new life, he realizes that this world is subtly different from Earth. The denizens of this world are far better looking, and this new world also possesses futuristic technology as well as mysterious Yin Yang masters! 
After reincarnating, he realized that he was endowed with a miraculous game-like system, which enables him to increase his own stats and transcend the limits of the human body. This system even has a game-breaking ability to save and load in real life!
In this new world that’s akin to a 2-D game, he just wants to enjoy life and head for a glorious future... However, he is quickly embroiled in a complex plot. Can he unlock his true potential and utilize his system to break the shackles that confine him and discover the truth about his previous body’s circumstances? 

Few weeks passed since that day. Drew was sick for 3 days and Spielberg decided to have a holiday for it.
Al doesn't go home in this 3 days, also most of the crews did the same, so he ask Robert to accompany him.

"Bob, do you want to go to arcade?"

All crew were gathered here in hotel hall for having pleasant chat or just enjoying the afternoon tea.

Al has a good relation to Robert McNaughton so he called him with his nickname.

Seeing Al who ask him to go to arcade, he didn't reject it. He have nothing to do for the day anyway.

"Wait kids!!" Not again, Al thought but who he saw screaming this time is the one and only, Steven Spielberg.

"It's not safe for kids to play alone, let me accompany you two!" he said sound a bit.....excited?

"But didn't you said you have a things to do this evening?"

"I have cancel it, now let's go!" So Spielberg take their hands and rushed to arcade next to department shop near filming location.

‐---------

'Damn this old man.' Currently, Al, Bob, and Steven playing Space Invaders. While Bob couldn't keep up and always dying, Al and Steven are having a lifetime contest.

"Just give up old man and go back playing pong!" Usually he said Fortnite, but there is no game called that this time.

"Hahaha, I play this game before you are born kid, nobody better than me!!" Steven said excitedly

'Damn! Space Invaders only out in 1978, how the hell he played before I was born!' Al thought

In the end, Al still lose against Spielberg. Well at first they want to play newest arcade game Donkey Kong but suddenly Steven ask them to play Space Invaders.

Since this arcade is out in 1978, it became outdated game so they don't have to wait in line.

In previous life, Al also an avid gamer. Beside became moviemaker, he also want to became game designer but too bad he can only choose one and treat game as hobbies.

'Well what if I made WoW, Dota 2 or any other games. That's a cash cow for me' he thought.

After they finish playing, they went to eat in some classic American restaurant that you used to see in American movies.

They talked about games and Spielberg seems very happy when he discussing games with Al and Bob. Now we know why he was so excited when they want to go to arcade before.

Steven Spielberg is fkin hardcore gamer!!

After few talks about game, Bob said "I see you carrying that note everywhere Al."

Al always carry this small notebook to record his knowledge in moviemaking or if he had any idea to write stories.

In fact, in these months of shooting. He always ask Spielberg about movie making things and Spielberg happily answer all his question.

When he don't have any take, Spielberg always ask him to become assistant director for a while.

"What are you writing now Al?" Steven ask

"Well last week when I see Drew playing with Harvey, I got an idea for making it into script. This will be my first movie, well short movie you can call it and I plan to shoot this as an experimental film."

"Can I see it Al?" Steven ask, Al give his notebook and said, "Here, but story is not fully complete. I will finish it this night."

<Dance of an Angel> Steven read it aloud in his heart. Steven continue to read the script and finally look at Al, 'Monster! This kid is no longer a genius but a monster!'

This script is so well written, good narrative story, and characterization of the role have three phase, happy, despair and heartwarming.

He saw this script only has 2 roles, a little girl and a dog.

"Do you want to let Drew to film this?" Spielberg ask.

"If she and her mother accept, but I won't do it now. I'm still inexperienced and maybe wait until Drew become 9 or 10 years old. How about the script Steven?"

"Kid! If you are on this level when you are 11, I bet you put every screenwriter to shame if they knew it."

Heard that, Al was overjoyed, "Well actually Steve, I'm planning to create my own script. Kids like me have fewer opportunity to become a main lead in Hollywood so what if I made my own script and starred in it. But to do that, I need your help Steve."

Al don't have any impression of 80s movies with children as a main role. So he decided to create it and give it to Steven and he will star in it.

"When this script will be done?" Steven ask.

"I think the fastest will be next month Steve, and also, can I invest in this movie Steve?"

"Of course you can Al, this is your script, but let me see the script first. If not good, I can throw them to garbage hahaha."

"Dam, why are you so evil old man!" and three of them laugh.

The night is getting darker and three of them went back to hotel.

The script Al which going to write is <Sixth Sense>
This movie has made worldwide box office $290 million in North America box office and $670 million worldwide.

Al won't know how much will this box office if the movies came out 20 years earlier, but it's not bad to try right?

After Drew has recovered, the shooting continues. Although the filming has been delayed 3 days but after having holiday, the crew seem enthusiastic to get this job done.

With December comes, the filming also has completed.

"With this I announced that the E.T. has complete!!" When Steven said that, all crew cheered.

They experience so much in this 4 months of shooting, for Al this is his first movie and to join one of the classic of the classic film is really exciting for him. Everyone in crew won't know how exploding this box office will be.

Although the shooting has finished, Al still needs to take few shots in green screen. It will be take in one of the Universal's studio.

Not only that, there is still some post-production that could take as long as the filming is. The shooting of E.T. take about 4 months, so the post-production and editing could take almost as long as that or even more.

Al also got invitation from Spielberg to see the editing process. As you know Hollywood is producer centric operation.

Only few directors can get their final-cut from their producer, that's why Spielberg always become a producer in his own movie, to ensure his right and get the final cut of his film. Such control freak old man, Al said in his heart jokingly.

The crews are saying farewell to each other, which include Al and Drew, which….. they were hugging each other currently.

"Come on Drew don't cry, we can always meet each other, our house is still Los Angeles."

"But I won't see you for a long time!!"

"I'll call you or we can still try writing to each other" Saw her hesitation, he became suspicious "You can't write can't you?" Al said while smiling.

"I CAN you dummy! I, I can only write a little BUT I will ask mom to teach it I promise!!"

"Okay I believe you Drewie, let's go, your mom must be waiting for you." Drew maybe act more mature than her peers but this mischievous girl is still a little girl who are naïve and sometimes act stupid, that's why he likes this girl very much.

His four little sister plus Drew each have their own personalities, and he won't know what trouble this girls will cause to him someday.

As for <Sixth Sense> he already give the script to Steven and he really praise it. So the problem is only to search for directors. Al have made a deal with Spielberg to cooperate and this deal include:

1. He must be main lead
2. The investment between Amblin Entertainment and Al's production house (unnamed) and some studios to invest and distribution and the percentage will be discuss further.

The preparation will begin in January and the shooting will be held after E.T. screened.

So after they shake hands, Al went home.

A day passed since the deal and he got a surprising call
 
To Be Continued.....

" Young Master, long time no see. " Anna had finally returned.

She decided to go on first to take care of Ron. She felt a little uncomfortable not being with Ron as they had been together for a long time.

Ron just ignored her, he was not even playing at all. He just held the controller and stared at it and the fox on his lap.

' Who is that fox? Did something big happen while I am gone? ' Anna didn't know anything as she was just fresh out from the hell.

" Young Master, who is that cute little fox there? "

Anna was instantly charmed by Snow's cuteness. Ron didn't answer and he just pinched his chin and looked at the ceiling.

' Wahhhhh!!! Young Master is ignoring me! He must hate me very much! ' Anna was a little worried about the future of her job.

Suddenly, Ron looked at her and asked.

" Hey, Anna can animals play games? " This was what Ron was thinking. 

Since he wanted to play with someone and Anna won't be with him to play everytime, why not teach Snow how to play so they can play together. 

" Eh? You want that fox to play with you? "

Ron nodded his head. 

" Hmmm, I think it will be hard. You know? Since she doesn't have the dextrous hands we humans have. It will be hard for her to use controller. " 

" Yeah, I think so too. But I wanna try it! " 

Ron tried to think of a game with a controller that was simple enough that Snow could play with it. 

He gave Snow to Anna as he was gonna stand up. Anna, for the first time touching Snow had the urge to burry her head with on Snow's thick fur. So she did. 

' Wahhhhh! It's so fluffy! And she smells good! I smell milk! Just like Young Master. Do they bathe together? ' 

Snow didn't react much as she was already used to it and since Ron knew Anna. Snow let Anna hold her because of that and if not then someone would be grilled into a charcoal. But she was kinda happy that there was another hooman who would spoil her. 

Ron looked for a controller that had big buttons that even Snow could play. He pulled out an Arcade Joystick. 

" Hey Anna, Snow wouldn't have a problem with this right? "

The Arcade Joystick had a very simple structure, a joystick and very big buttons. It was enough for Snow who couldn't probably press small buttons. 

' Is Snow the name of that fox? That fits her name as she is colored white as a snow. ' Anna finally learned the name of the fox. 

" Yes, that would probably be enough. Now all we need to do is to teach Snow how to use it " 

Ron connected the Arcade Joystick and loaded a game that used it. 

City Fighter Z

This was the perfect game to get used to a controller as you only need to press 1 button at a time. 

" Now Snow come here! " Ron put down the joystick. He took Snow from Anna, Anna almost refused to let go as it really felt very comfortable holding Snow but she held herself back. 

Ron put Snow down in front of the controller. Snow was puzzled as to why Ron did this, she looked at the weird hooman in front of her and barked. 

" Awwwwww!!! ( Hooman! What do you want!) " 

Snow's pride had soared from being treated like a princess. She looked down at those lowly animals without some people taking of them like hers. She would always raise her chin when she looked at other animals which Ron thinks it's cute. 

" Now Snow, try playing it. Come on press a button. " 

Ron showed Snow how to use the Joystick. 

" Come on, press a button like this. " 

Ron took Snow's paw and make it press a button. 

" Look! Your character is kicking! " Snow looked at the screen in front of her and saw that a hooman was kicking. 

" Now let's try again. " Ron once again made Snow's paw press a button. 

This time Snow saw that the hooman on the screen was punching. 

' No way? Could it be that I could control hooman with this thing? What sorcery is this! ' Snow was shocked to see that a hooman would do something when she presses a button. 

Snow saw other buttons that she hadn't pressed and so she pressed them and looked at the screen. 

' Wow! I'm really controlling that Hooman! ' Snow wagged her tail from excitement. 

" Haha! Snow good girl! " Ron rubbed Snow which satisfied her every much. 

' This hooman complemented me because I pressed this thing! I should do it again! ' Now Snow was just stepping on the controller. 

' Wow! This fox is very smart. It would take days or even months to train a dog how to press a controller. ' Anna was amazed by Snow's intelligence. 

' Could it be that she is from a very intelligent family of mana beasts? Not only is she cute and fluffy but she is smart too! ' 

Anna smiled as she watched the cute scene of a little boy teaching a cute white fox how to use the controller.

Midnight

Daisy was awoken because she was thirsty, so she got up from her bed to drink some water. Suddenly her ears twitched. 

" Eh? Is Ron still awake? " She felt that Ron was still awake and still playing games so she walked towards Ron's gaming room. When she was closer, she heard the sounds of controller being pressed. 

She opened the door and said. " Ron, it is quiet late you should go to sleep. Wait Anna what are you doing just standing there? It's already late! Do your job and make Ron sleep. " 

Anna was just watching Ron from the sides. 

" But Madam, look! Look at that monster! " Anna pointed at Ron which Daisy misunderstood. 

" Whose baby are you calling a monster? Do you want to go to the Torture Chamber again? "

" No Madam! Not him! On his lap! " 

This time, Daisy finally understood and looked at Ron's lap. 

' What did Anna mean by a monster? ' Daisy looked at Ron's lap and her eyes widened from shock. 

' What the? ' There was a fox that was proficiently using the Joystick controller in Ron's lap. 

You Won! 

" Hahaha! Snow! You finally won! Hahaha! " Ron rubbed his face on Snow's face. 

" Huh Mom? What are you doing here? " 

Daisy just stood there looking at Snow weirdly. She knew that there were some animals other than humans and demi humans that could play games but they probably would not be able to learn this fast. 

Daisy just released a very tired sigh. 

" Ron you should go to sleep. It's already late. "

With that, Daisy went back to her room and slept.

Ron, who is one of the world's most powerful Mana User regrets his whole life. He wanted to be a professional gamer but because of his parents he was forced to become a very well known mana user and succeeded in doing it. But after he reached his goal, he suddenly lost his motivation to become better at something and remembered his dream when he was young. To become a professional gamer. Ron realized that if he followed his dreams then he will be able to enjoy his life until he grows old because games are getting better and better every year but Mana Users will get weaker and weaker as they get old. Even if he gets weaker at playing games when getting old, at least the games are getting better and better. Ron decided to be reborn and wiping all his memories except for some reminders that he will continue to remember as he starts his new life. [ If you don't like weird, disgusting and perverted stuff. Just don't read this please and criticize my novel. You're not my target audience! ] To those who don't read the TAGS. This is R-18! Meaning there would be gore's and sexual content. If you don't like it those then don't bother to read this. Don't you dare question the Cover! It is my masterpiece!

After about five hours of flying, the plane landed on L.A, and Nai and Win, the two excitable children, let out whoops, while Igor, who had slept for a sizeable portion of the trip, woke up softly, not letting a sound, just opening his eyes, and standing up both smoothly and silently.

"We have arrived at Los Angeles Private Airport, the school reserved a flight space, and we have been allowed to skip police checks, so you can get on the limo, and go straight to the airport, we wish you all the best of luck in the tournament, we will be here to pick you back up once it is time to go back.", one of the pilots said, and they all thanked them for the quick and smooth flight.

They went down through the stairwell that had been put up, and walked a few metres to where a black tinted limo was waiting for them, the chauffeur opening the doors. He smiled at them, and asked whether they wanted any snacks or drinks, they all refused. They had eaten and drank more than enough during the flight, the air hostesses that served constantly coming and going, bringing in food and snacks for the duration of the flight.

The chauffeur nodded, and closed the door behind them, before getting on, and driving them straight to the hotel. Well, they called it a hotel, but it was actually a whole building owned by the school. Ace had seen pictures, it was grand, with each room spanning a whole two floors, with an indoor lift, so there was no need to even take the stairs. The fact that the school owned such huge property in the middle of L.A, was just astounding. They also owned another in Santa Monica, with beautiful views to the beach, the only reason they were not in that one, much to some people's chagrin, was the fact that the other was closer to the arena where the tournament would take place.


***


"Good day,", the chief butler greeted them all respectfully, "The rooms have been set up, but can be changed to your discretion. If you need anything, please do not hesitate to let us know. We are here to make your stay more enjoyable and relaxing, so that you may be able to give the best of you once the tournament begins, if you win, so do we.", he nodded, and the other members of the service behind him smiled as well.

"Thank you for your work, we will be relying on you then.", Zach said and smiled, while motioning for the staff to show them their rooms.

Ace's was in the middle of the skyrise, and he decided to stay there, it had a nice decor, and the side that faced the street was all glass, which meant he had a clear view. He put his bag down, and ensured everything was in order - of course, it was. He took out all the things he had in his bag, and then arranged them to his own comfort, he had brought his monster machine of a laptop, along with a USB where he had a Linux Distro he had made himself for himself. 

He took out the various cables and chargers for his watch, laptop and phone, and then plugged them in at his convenience.

They all met up in the lobby half an hour later. They had all showered and changed, Ace wearing some loose black jeans and a military jacket, with various patches he had custom-designed himself. Once the last person got there, Zach informed them on what they could do, "Ok, so, you have the afternoon and night free, but do remember that we must be ready to leave by 9. If you need anything, you have everyone's numbers, along with Coach's. Also, have these,", he handed them what looked like credit cards, but they were in fact IDs. They seemed to be made out of some matte black metallic compound, their names written in gold. "These have a fingerprint receptor, if you show them to a worker, and you place your finger on the receptor, ensuring your identity, you will have no problems anywhere. Well, enjoy yourselves, and have fun.", with that said, he was the first out of the door.

'Well, luck I brought the skateboard, Ha, the others would be pissed if they knew I can just chill and skateboard in L.A, instead of going to school.'

He got on the board, and skated through the street. He admired the various buildings and places much like a tourist would, and stopped in front of a place that would look fun, the only sign he could find that would give him an idea as to what the massive building was, was the following: ARCADE. There were many lights, lighting up in patterns, that attracted attention from the passerbyes.

Ace went in, and was assaulted by the noise of various arcade games, and sounds of shouting, along with tickets being dispensed from various machines. He smiled, 'This is gonna be fun.'

He went to the main area, where he could trade tokens for cash, and did so, first getting about 100$ in tokens. The difference to most arcades was that he did not get tokens per-say. He got a card, where the number of tokens was charged, then, to use a game, all he had to do was swipe the card on the reader, and then the amount would be redacted. If he won anything, all he had to do was swipe the card again, and the amount would be inputted into the card again.

He could, of course, check the number of tokens he had on his card at any time, on one of the many machines that were dotted around the various floors of the arcade. He could also check the rewards he could cash out with that amount, as well as all the rewards that were available.

'Ok, let's start with some of the basics.', Ace thought, and made his way to a Street Fighter machine. The edition was Street Fighter 2. The game in this arcade, he was told, was a bit different. He would play against another arcade goer, and they could bet chips if they wanted. Of course, that was only one of the modes, he could also play against a friend on the same machine, or against the machine, depending on the difficulty, he would get one reward or another.

He loaded a token, and then picked RYU as his character, the default character. Ace had not played much Street Fighter, especially not in an arcade. He spent about ten minutes however, memorising all the moves and combos he could do. It was an unfair advantage, he had memorised a character's whole skill sheet within minutes, and not only that, he would most likely have no problem actually using them in an actual match.

He found a game, another player in the arcade, and then the betting selection began, the other person did not want to bet, and neither wanted Ace - at least not yet, so they went forward with the match.

Ace used the match, and its subsequent rounds to get himself used to the character, and ensured he had the moves memorised properly and up to scratch.

He won without an issue, and smiled, 'Ok, so, the choice is this, do I explore some more? Or do I begin to smash people at this game?', Ace thought, before coming to the decision to explore and have fun for today, and the next time he came, focusing on winning tokens on the various games that were found on the building. 

He spent the afternoon in the arcade, playing games, and having fun, he was alone, but that did not impede him from having fun. He ended up speaking to a group of teenagers that looked about his age. They were most definitely not the good sort, for one, they were wearing school uniforms, but they were most definitely not following the school regulations, they were smoking, which was allowed, but only in certain areas, of which this one was not one of. They were all crowded around a few games, and did not let anyone else get close.

For another, a few of them tried to bully Ace into 'playing a few games with them'. THye did not dare to steal his tokens, but he could always 'invite' them to play a game with him. Of course, a kick to the knee and an elbow to the face made them all friends.

Ace was now officially part of a gang of school kids. They were all between the ages of 16 and 18, but since they had not asked Ace, he had not said his. They probably assumed he was about their age anyway.

He spent the rest of his time playing with them, they soon realised Ace was more than a little bit good, and they now bet on who could last the longest against him. It did not matter the games, rhythm, shooting, fighting, or dancing. Ace was great at all of them. The excuse, was that his father owned an arcade, and had been playing them since he was a baby. That seemed to appease their questions.

"Well guys, I would love to go for a few drinks with you, but I do have to leave, I have some stuff to do tomorrow.", Ace waved goodbye, and then left the casino, skating all the way back to the hotel.

It was 11 at night, and while the casino was nowhere near closing, the others were going for a few drinks. They invited Ace, but he declined, he wanted to get some research done before going to bed, since he wanted to be ready for what would come later.

The story of a boy overcome with pain, that suddenly isn't.

                                      **********

The story is about a boy, Ace, who is suddenly healed from his pain. He decides to make the best out of his god (?) given gift.

You can expect politics, show business, videogames, sports, and much more.

I hope you enjoy the novel, Happy Reading!

SINUNDAN ni Lexine ang tracker sa kanyang cellphone at dinala sila nito sa Timezone Arcade kung saan napakaraming mga kabataan ang naglalaro.

"What kind of demon are we looking for?" tanong ni Miguel.

May pinindot si Lexine sa touch screen at lumabas ang isang picture ng demon, "It's an Incubus Demon. They lure female humans and feed from their energy force. According to the report, this fucker likes Loli. Mga batang babae ang binibiktima niya."

Napangiwi si Miguel, "Lahat ba ng demon pedophile like Mr. Park?" 

"Well, most of them though. We need to find him. I'm sure he possessed a human body to hide his self," pumasok si Lexine sa loob ng Arcade.

Maingay ang buong lugar sa dami ng mga Arcade machines at kung ano-ano pang mga video games na pinagkakaabalahan ng mga bata at teenagers. May iilan 'din na mga nagfi-feeling bata o kaya mga maids o magulang na nagbabantay sa mga anak nila. 

Sa dami ng tao ay mahihirapan silang mahanap ang pakay.

"How can we find him?" tanong ni Miguel.

May kinuha si Lexine sa kanyang bulsa at inabot kay Miguel. Isa itong old compass, "Gagalaw ang arrow kapag na-sense niya ang demon."

"Cool," parang bata na sabi ni Miguel, "Then let's start the hunting."

Naglakad-lakad ang dalawa habang hinahanap nila ang pakay. Kung pagmamasdan ang paligid ay wala namang kahina-hinala. Nadaan nila ang grupo ng mga estudyante na nagkakagulo sa "dance-dance revolution" at nagsisigawan sa dalawang sumasayaw sa dance pad.

Sa kaliwang banda naman nandoon ang mga babaeng elementary students na sinusubukan kunin si Hello Kity sa Claw machine. Nagtitilian pa ang mga ito dahil muntikan na nilang makuha ang manika pero dumulas ito sa claw.

"If he likes Loli's, for sure nakadikit siya sa mga batang babae," komento ni Miguel.

"Good idea, observe the girls."

Sa pagmamasid ay napansin ni Lexine ang isang pulong ng mga babaeng teenagers na may pinagkakaguluhan. Kinalabit niya si Miguel at tinuro ang mga ito. Sabay silang lumapit upang tignan kung ano ang meron. 


Masyadong marami ang nagpupulong-pulong habang panay tilian ng mga babae na tila kinikilig. Nang makalapit ay nakipagsiksikan si Lexine sa mga bata para makasilip. Di niya inaasahan kung sino ang nakita.

Sa isang arcade machine, nakaupo ang isang binata na nakasuot ng leather jacket at naglalaro ng Pacman. 

Tili ng tili ang mga babae sa tuwing malapit nang kainin ng mga monster si Pacman pero nalulusutan ito ng player na naglalaro. Akala mo nanonood ng ka-suspense suspense na sports ang mga batang babae pero ang totoo ay kinikilig lang sila sa napakagwapong binata.

Hindi nakapagtimpi si Lexine at lumapit sa gilid ni Night, "What the hell are you doing here?" aniya nakapamewang.

Tumingala si Night kay Lexine kung kaya nawala siya sa focus at tuluyan siyang nakain ng monster. Nalungkot ang mga kababaihan at ang iba naman ay lantarang nagpakita ng pagkadisgusto.

"Ano ba yan, ang epal naman."

"Sino ba yan? Nasira tuloy ang laro ni kuya Pogi."

"Nakakainis naman! Feeling maganda, maputi lang."

Nilingon ni Lexine sa mga batang babae. Sa gulat niya ay masama ang tingin sa kanya ng tres marias. 

"Tara na nga girls! Hmp!" sabi ng batang nasa gitna na tila ang leader. Katakot-takot na irap ang binigay ng mga ito kay Lexine.

"Di ako na-inform fans, mo pala ang pabebe girls," tawa-tawa na sabi ni Miguel kay Night.

Tumayo si Night at masama ang tingin kay Miguel.

"Night, bakit ka nandito?" ulit ni Lexine.

"I'm here to play, don't you see?" tinuro nito ang Arcade.

"Tingin mo maniniwala ako sa sinasabi mo? Sinusundan mo ba kami?" humalukipkip si Lexine at pinagtaasan siya ng kilay.

"Oo, sinusundan ko kayo," lumipat ang tingin ni Night kay Miguel, "I don't trust this guy."

Umismid si Miguel, "Eh ikaw tingin mo pinagkakatiwalaan ka ni Lexine?"

Nagtigas ang bagang ni Night at hinarap si Miguel, "Ano gusto mo palabasin?" nagdibdib sa dibdib ang lalaki.

"Ikaw? Ano ang pinapalabas mo tungkol sa akin?" sagot ni Miguel na dinikit din ang mukha kay Night. Parehong nagdidilim ang kanilang mukha.

"I know everything about you Captain Miguel Madrigo," buong diin na sambit ni Night.

Mas lalong tumalim ang mata ni Miguel. Agad na pumagitna si Lexine sa dalawa at pinaghiwalay ang mga ito, "Ano ba 'wag nga kayong mag gawa ng gulo dito. Mas isip bata pa kayo sa mga bata dito. Mahiya nga kayo!"

Nagtinginan nang masama ang dalawa.

Sinuklay ni Lexine ang buhok, "Pwede ba, tulungan niyo na lang ako hanapin yung target!" umikot ang mga mata niya sa sobrang inis at iniwanan ang dalawa.

Sabay na sumunod si Night at Miguel kay Lexine na nagpapalitan pa rin ng masasamang tingin.

Nagpatuloy si Lexine sa paghahanap at pag-oobserba sa mga tao sa paligid. Nangibabaw sa kanyang mata ang isang binatilyo na lalaki na nakasuot ng pulang jacket at jogger pants. Nasa anim na talampakan ang taas nito. Payat ito pero maganda ang tindig. Ito yung tipong rich kid na mayabang. Napapansin niya na kung kani-kaninong mga babaeng estudyante ito lumalapit at nagpapakilala. Hinihingi pa ang mga number nito. Kahina-hinala sa kanya ang kilos ng binatilyo at may nararamdaman siyang kakaiba.

Hindi niya inalis ang tingin dito at pasimple itong sinundan, "Look at that guy, he's suspicious," bulong niya sa dalawa. 

Parehong napatingin si Night at Miguel sa lalaki, "Should we use the compass? Lapitan ko?" tanong ni Miguel.

"Not yet, baka makahalata siya, we need to observe first," sabi ni Lexine.

Kasalukuyang nakikipaglandian ang binatilyo sa grupo ng mga highschool students na naglalaro sa arcade. Umupo si Lexine sa dulo ng hilera ng arcade machine at nagkunwaring naglalaro.

Umupo naman si Night sa katapat na machine ni Lexine at umupo si Miguel sa tabi nito, "Umuwi ka na, we can handle this."

Umismid si Night, "Who do you think you are to tell me what to do?"

"Obvious naman na ayaw ni Lexine na nandito ka. You're distracting our mission. Abala ka lang. Do her a favor and leave," matatag na sabi ni Miguel.

"Don't use your mission as an excuse. Are you threatened by my presence?" nanliit ang mata ni Night.

"Me? Or you?" balik sa kanya ni Miguel.

Nagtigas ang bagang ni Night. Nangangati na talaga siyang paduguin ang nguso nito sa sobrang yabang. 

Umangat ang sulok ng labi ni Miguel, "Threatened ka ba na sasagutin ako ni Lexine?"

"You're so full of yourself," Night gritted his teeth.

"Say whatever you want about me, at least she trusts me rather than you."

Nagdilim ang mata ni Night at handa nang sapakin si Miguel.

"Oops, someone is boiling," pang-aalaska nito.

Lalong nangigil si Night. Hindi lang nguso ang paduduguin niya kay Miguel. Mas maganda kung pareho niyang dudukutin ang mata nito at ipapakain sa kanya. Marami na siyang klase ng Plan A, B, C kung paano niya ito ito-torture. 

"Masyadong madali para sa'yo kung papatayin lang kita. I'll make sure to tear you into pieces, break you from limb from limb, peel your skin until you bleed to death," nangigigil niyang sabi.

Pero di nagpatakot si Miguel, "Don't worry. I'm sure the day would come that we will kill each other. Pero sa ngayon, magtitiis muna tayo."

Tumaas ang sulok ng bibig niya, "Ganito na lang, daanin na lang natin sa patas na laban. If I win, you leave. If you win, then I leave," tinuro ni Miguel ang Arcade Machine sa larong Tekken.

Naningkit ang mata ni Night, "Prepare yourself to lose, Captain."

"Lets see, Grim Reaper," tinaas ni Miguel ang coins na nakaipit sa dalawang daliri.

(Formerly known as "My Boyfriend is a Grim Reaper")

"A kiss has tied her soul in the hands of the prince of darkness."

Lexine died on the night of her sixteenth birthday. Ngunit dahil sa isang hindi maipaliwanag na pangyayari ay nakatakas siya sa kamatayan. Makalipas ang limang taon ay isa na siyang sikat na ballerina at namumuhay sa ibabaw ng mundo bilang nag-iisang tagapagmana ng sikat na business tycoon. In a snap of a finger, she could have anything she wants. 

Ngunit ang perpekto mundo ni Lexine ay mabilis na bumaliktad sa pagdating ng isang misteryosong lalaki na nagtatago sa itim na hood at nababalot ng kakaibang tattoos. May sinisingil itong kabayaran mula sa isang kasunduan na hindi na niya naaalala.

Paano tatakasan ni Lexine ang lalaking ito? Lalo na't hindi lang buhay niya ang nasa panganib-dahil maging ang puso niya ay gusto nitong angkinin.
