Sienna is about to start her first semester of college at Crystal River University. The small town girl who has always been known to be shy and reserved is about to experience one of the biggest changes in life. Her friends have all gone to different schools and so has her boyfriend Andrew who is now one thousand miles away. Will Crystal River University bring unexpected changes into her life? Will Sienna grow the way she plans or will college life help her realize that there's more to her than just being a good girl who always does what is expected.

The loud, outspoken, party girl who only cares about having a good time has recently had her heart broken and refuses to let anyone in. Her girlfriend of four years left her and Paige is in self destruct mode hundreds of miles away from home. Will Paige get her life together or will she continue the path she's on.

What will happen when these two girls cross paths at Crystal River University? Will Sienna and Paige's lives be changed for good? Find out in this epic story of two women who think they know who they are but will soon find out that life has a huge curveball in store for them.

He didn't plan on waiting for Alaina to return, he had too much shit to take care of. 
Pivoting, he turned to head back to the room he'd woken up in, pondering the best sequences for his next course of actions.

Once in the room, he scanned the shelves for something, ignoring the emptiness that screamed out at him. Not too long ago, in his memory, they were filled with countless treasures. 

Finding what he wanted, a small gem that seemed out of place in the opulent room, he plucked it from the shelf and walked over to plop into a chair. 

As he fell into the chair, he also fell into the gem, the world growing a bright brilliant orange that overwhelmed his senses for a brief moment. Then, he was inside the gem, and could feel the warmth of it enveloping him. 

"Hello again, Master. It's been some time since you visited. There are over ten thousand issues that require your attention, with the most pressing being referred to as urgent." A voice echoed through the void, as a blob of orange light materialized in front of the mage. 

"Yeah, I kinda expected that. Anything that involves death of anyone except the core components, delete. Any message that involves theft, except an item from the inner sanctum, delete. Delete…" He rapidly fired off numerous things to be deleted from the issues, as he looked over the replica of the realm outside his tower. 

There were small blue spheres of light to indicate the newest arrivals, moving around the tower slowly. "They much still be cleaning up." He mused, and then shifted his attention to the rest of the realm. 

Towards the top, he saw a cloud with tiny tick marks. A measuring device. "Damn. Barely enough to set up the defenses." Poking the cloud, he nudged it a couple times before shaking his head and tapping on the boundaries of the realm.

Here, he could see that there was a solid line of blue energy, which gave him a moment's respite from concern. 

"Alright, Kindle, give me the most pressing matters, from what's left of the issues."  He settled back in his chair, both inside the gem and in the tower, trying to get comfortable despite the pressure he felt at in his forehead. 

The entity inside the stone began ratting off a dozen or so issues, which boiled down to his trusted council and who he thought were friends, waited for two years before they began pillaging his belongings. 

They started with the upper rooms, the training room and the treasuries. Over the course of ten years, they slowly took small, expensive things, then they gradually became so bold that they took the entire contents of a room that had been sat aside from Gunther's offspring, in a day. 

This happened for twenty years, and suddenly stopped only to occur after another seventy years.  And, again after another twenty year race to remove items from the realm, it ceased for eighty years. 

The cycle continued three more times, until there was nothing left of worth to steal. From the looks of the issues, the most recent theft had happened two days before he woke up. They had been in his study, and removed all the clothes in the closet. And, after discovering they could only store away so much, the beloved orange robe he was currently wearing was cast aside, as trash. 

Clenching his fists, he identified each of the names and recalled their faces.  While he began his plans for vengeance, he noticed several small blue blobs of energy appear. One of them had a brown icon over the top of it, indicating this person had shared resonance with him. Earth resonance.

"Oh. Alaina's back. That was quick." Putting the thought of revenge away for the moment, he pulls his mind from the gem and tucks it away into a pocket as he stands. "Thanks Kindle." He patted the pocket, as he headed towards the foyer to greet the newest arrivals.

There were twenty people awaiting his arrival, panting and trying to regain their breath. Amused, Trimagus waited a few moment at the top of the stairs, giving them the time to collect themselves.

At least, that was the plan, before the girl began bellowing for him.

"Master Trimagus!" Her shout echoed down numerous halls echoing the summons. She waited moments before shouting again, and then again.

"Shut the fuck up, will you?" He called back, coming down the stairs with annoyance written all over his face. "I got it, you're back." He added and came closer to the group. 

He looked over the solid, well built people that were mostly men with a couple children and a few women.  He also realized the mixture of awe, fear and confusion that most of them must have felt.  Raising his arms, he smiled and greeted them, motioning towards the group as a whole.

"Welcome to your new home. For now, you're all stuck here, except for important business. Once we've managed to get things up and running though, that'll change. Alaina here, should have told you the needs of the realm, so I'll leave it up to her to let you all know what you'll be doing." He gave a glance to the girl, who nodded firmly and raised a clenched fist. 

"Heh.  Right. If any of you have a concern, then you're welcome to bring it to me for the time being. In the future there will be someone for your concerns to be brought to, and resolved without always involving me."

They watched him, the awe giving way to more confusion.

"Oh. Right. My name is Trimagus, there are a whole lot of titles that I've been given, but the only one that means anything is the lord of this realm, and your new master."  Then, a wink as he leaned in towards them. "Don't worry, I'm not going to be here too often, so as long as you do your work and don't cause problems, everything should be fine."

Returning to a more serious tone, he cleared his throat and stood up straight. "There will be no harming of another resident of this realm. We are all together in this realm, and should anything arise that would cause one to harm another, it shall be brought to me or the representative in place to make decisions regarding the staff and members of the realm."

"Each cause of harm with be given a trial, and the most painful punishment that befits the crime will be given, which is most often being exiled from the island..." He motioned towards the expansion of orange flames that surrounded the tower and island, indicating just what he meant by exile. 

"There is no theft allowed. All your needs will be accommodated, and if there are any hobbies that you would like to persue, those can be reviewed and given allowances for depending on the activity."

"You are all to study the books and information given to you. It will be about your occupation, and a form of meditation and strengthening for your personal abilities. You will all be tested, and given a ranking, depending on your abilities. These will determine not only your sleeping arrangements, but your pay and your place in the hierarchy of the realm."

"Families, will of course be kept together, if they do desire.  Children will live with their families, but their occupation will be to learn and play in an area set aside for them. A tutor will be available for them, in order to teach the next generation the skills needed to succeed in this realm."

"We are all one unit, a nation outside that of the world you just arrived from, and any form of bigotry or hatred towards another kind will not be permitted. You will soon begin to see the arrival of beings and creatures that you couldn't imagine working next to, or living with. However, as with you, the future of the realm will benefit from any and all creatures that have been given entry to the realm."

Twenty sets of eyes stared at him, before turning towards the girl that had led them there. Confusion gave way to fear, before finally setting on realization. They began muttering amongst themselves, whispering about how they had been trapped here,  about how none of this had been told to them.

"I understand this is a lot to take in, and it's going to take a little bit of time to adjust to, so why don't you all get settled in. Take a bath, and get used to the tower and the island." He turned to look over the area behind him, and gave an impish smile. "If you can all talk the chef into seeing their way into the kitchen, we can even have a celebration to welcome everyone to their new home."

Turning, he nodded to Alaina. "Once you're done settling them in, come see me in my study.  I want to go over a few things with you." Then, he disappeared down the hallway he'd come from, leaving the woman frowning faintly.

"Alright everyone, I know that was surprising, but let's go. You all swore allegiance, and I can guarantee you that you're never going to be cold again." She gave an intentionally nervous chuckle, and motioned people along.

Three hours later, she knocked on the study door, suddenly nervous.  It had taken an hour to settle the nerves of the new arrivals, and then another to get their belongings in rooms before finally showing them around the tower and explaining where their jobs would be. 

The chef, a thin woman with long red hair, was excited about working in the kitchen after realizing how much room was available to her. Trimagus had left a note to indicate he would visit in the future to show her all the functions of the kitchen, hinting that there were some rather fun things that could be done, if one truly loved cooking. 

He'd also left instructions on how to remove food from a small storage shelf that apparently led to another realm. Alaina left the kitchen, with the woman cackling like a loon and pulling things out of the shelf that logically couldn't fit. 

Alaina heard a muffled comment from the other side of the door, which she took as a welcoming sound, and opened the door. She gasped as she saw the mage with a bowl of boiling water in front of him, a cloth in one hand and soap in the other. 

"Or, don't give me a minute." He chuckled, clearly not bothered by the intrusion. "Come on in. I'm almost done." He explained, looking back to the bowl. 

After a moment's hesitation, she entered and closed the door behind her. "Sorry, I thought you said to come in…" She watched him as she grew closer, trying not to let her eyes trace the surprisingly well toned boy, with its dancing threads of hair trailing from just above his belly button to … She blushed, and looked back up to his face. 

"Oh, no problem, just have to finish purifying my arms." As he spoke, he lathered the cloth with the soap and began to stroke the cloth along his arm. This activity was greeted with the sizzle of overheated metal being cooled. Trimagus winced a moment, but ignored it and continued. 

She watched as the skin on his arm turned to ash and dropped into the bowl. The skin grew back immediately, but with a slightly healthier glow.

"We have to leave soon. I'd say two months, tops. There are a few people I have to kill, and some things to get back." He spoke in a calm voice, despite the obvious pain and subject of the conversation. "This would be a good time to gain some resonance, and practice your inner strength at the same time." 

"I don… I mean I've never been off the island." She lamely offered, to which the man looked up and smiled fondly.

"Then, now's a great time to start. Until we leave, I want you to practice your magic. Earth. Read the book I gave you, re-read it. And keep re-reading it until you can recite the entire book, word by word. Then, you'll understand the meaning behind it."

She began to say something, but realized she didn't even know what to say, so instead she nodded her head and tucked a few dark tendrils behind her ear. "Yes, Master." She whispered, confused about everything that was happening so fast.

She turned to leave, but stopped at the door to turn to look at the man behind her. "Master…"

Without looking up, he grunted a response.

"When are you going to let my great-grand father live in the realm? He's been a faithful servant. He should be allowed to live here, too." She said, voice strengthening as she spoke.

He stopped all movement for a brief moment then looked up to her with a small smile and a tilt of his head. "You're petitioning for Gunther to be allowed access to this realm?" He asked, voice hinting at amusement.

She stopped to think a moment, confused by the way he worded it, and then nodded firmly. "I am." She agreed.

"Very well, speak to Gunther to let him know what you've done. And, let him know it will begin tomorrow at noon." He motioned for her to leave, and began humming as he went back to purifying himself.

She left, heading for the foyer once more. Even more confused.

An incredibly powerful mage, married to the goddess of magic, with the strength to literally move the world and create his own realm, has a way to continually reincarnate himself after death. 

His latest incarnation wakes up with no knowledge of how long it has been since his last lifetime, or why everything that he had built is suddenly falling apart. 

His ingredients, magical supplies, servants... all gone. 

He starts back over from almost scratch, with nothing more than his personal realm, and the memory of how great it once was.

Seventeen plus. There's a lot of cursing, adult situations, and who knows how many lovers, love scenes and gore may pop up in the tale that's being told.

I plan for one chapter a week to begin with.  I'm hoping to have between one thousand to two thousand words per chapter. 
Once I get a fleshed out schedule, I'll post more as time allows.

A Kindle Fire is actually a really great tablet. I owned "one" quite a few years ago and for some odd reason it always seemed to break whenever it was nearing the end of it's warranty. The warranty on it was for a year and each time it broke, they just sent a new one with a renewed warranty. They also always included a new charger. 

The name of the Kindle actually got updated each time it was replaced to (Name)'s 2nd/3rd/4th/... Kindel Fire. 

Kindle Fire: Very durable, very affordable, very useful and practical, the best warranty you could wish for

I had mine 9 years ago, but I'd still consider it a good option. In the span of ~3/4 years I think I ended up on a 5th Kindle.

Feel free to leave any kind of comment you want from questions to facts/spam.

A mishmash of random things. 
Daily chapter guaranteed.
Currently every new chapter will be focusing on a random topic. I will try my best to keep them interesting and short.

    这要是新型的屏幕也能显示彩色该有多好，那个时候，甚至手机的屏幕都能被更换了。
　　黄梦寒以前用过室友的kindle，在写论文的时候，需要查阅大量的文献，所以有一个长时间观看也不会伤眼的电子墨水屏的电子阅读设备，是很幸福的一件事情。
　　但是用kindle的时候，有一点快把黄梦寒烦死了，最后还是有用回了电脑。
　　黄梦寒收集到的有很多pdf人资料，放到kindle上面，需要几分钟才能同步过去，这还好。
　　但是在6英寸上面阅读pdf的体验实在是……一言难尽。
　　竖屏看，能把人的眼睛给瞅瞎，伤不伤眼不知道，肯定能锻炼视力，视力不好的都看不清楚那么小的文字，黄梦寒也是在那个时候才真正理解了一个成语的意思——蝇头小字。
　　那文字真的和苍蝇的脑袋似的，就那么一小点，几乎微不可查。
　　既然竖屏看有这个问题，那就横屏看吧。
　　横屏看文字倒是大了一些，但是有另一个问题也很烦人。
　　pdf的文档是一页一页的，横屏看的时候每屏显示的文字多余一页的三分之一，但是小于二分之一。
　　kindle上面的软件整的，一页需要点击三次，前两页还好，但是到了第三页，他最下面是当前页的最下面，最上面显示的文字不是第二页的最后，是第二页的中间的内容。
　　每次看到一页的最后一屏的时候，黄梦寒为了找到自己看到了哪里，都需要花费很长的时间去寻找，用户体验极差。
　　还不如我国的一个叫做多看的软件做的好，多看这个软件，他是粗粮公司开发的一个软件，可以在水果手机和安卓手机上面使用。
　　多看这个软件在手机上有连续观看的选项，开启之后就能在手机上面连续的看下一页，不会遇到kindle上面那种尴尬的问题，一页必须分三屏才可以。
　　另外他还可以，手动的拖动一点一点的向下滑，这在用了电子墨水屏幕的设备上是一种奢望，因为电子墨水屏的刷新率是一个很大的问题。
　　他上面还有裁减的功能，遇到影印版的pdf文献，甚至可以把边边角角裁掉只看最重要的一部分。
　　这样无形中就增大了屏幕的可使用的面积。
　　听说是有人把kindle越狱后能刷上这个系统。
　　但是毕竟不是原装的，刷上之后，设备死机的概率还有耗电率都明显的上升了。
　　显然第二智慧科技生产的这种叫做智慧电子阅读器的产品，考虑到了kindle上面的那种不合理的设计，根据这种新型屏幕的特点给出了两个解决方案。
　　和手机一样，第一就是可以连续翻页，第二就是可以手动一点点的滑动。
　　“没有数据线，如果我有一些资源，怎么传过来？”黄梦寒向店员询问。
　　“这个简单，你看到了首页的个人图书馆了吗？这里，对就是这里……”店员一边说一边给黄梦寒指出来在哪里进入个人图书馆。
　　“这里有两个，一个是云端的，一个是本地的。云端的图书馆顾名思义，这里面存放的书籍都是在大后端，而本地的就是从云端下载到本地的书籍。”
　　“至于怎么把书放到云端，有好几种方式可以进行，第一也可以利用想kindle那样类似的，用邮件推送的方式，把一个邮箱加入到信任邮箱列表，然后用这个邮箱向一个自定义的邮箱发带有附件的邮件就可以自动同步到云端，这样的速度是毫秒级别的，不想kindle那样，需要十多分钟。”
　　“第二种也是很常见的，就是公众号那样的，在深信上看到什么好的文章可以直接推送过来，不过我们做的更广泛一些，可以在深信上面也可以在球球上面，直接绑定了自己的账号，然后退送过去，当然了，时间也是毫秒级别的。”
　　“第三种，可以用球球账号，加一个固定的好友账号，然后把书籍或者其他附件直接发给他，发完之后，就可以在电子阅读器上的云端图书馆这里看到他的身影，只需要点击一下下载就能下载到本机。”
　　“第四种，如果你使用的是生物计算机，那么在里面的浏览器里面，通过简单的设置就能在右键菜单里面看到推送到电子阅读器的选项。”
　　“第五种，如果使用的是生物计算机，系统级别就支持推送到电子阅读器，如果你的这个账号注册过电子阅读器，右键点击电子阅读器可以识别的文件格式的文件时候，就会有一个选项是推送到电子阅读器上面，可以通过这样的方式来进行推送，当然了，如果你嫌这个菜单碍眼，可以通过简单的操作去掉的。”
　　“那这样的推送的方式还真是推陈出新了，没有想到第二智慧科技居然把一个简单的提送功能都玩出花来了。”黄梦寒对于这点还是给予了肯定。
　　“这些书城里面的书版权怎么说，如果购买的话怎么购买？”黄梦寒问了她关心的另一个问题。
　　“书的版权问题，你不用担心，这些全部是正版的，没有盗版，这些版权都是由我们的王路王总还有杨翰林杨总和很多家电子出版社共同讨论的结果。”
　　“购买的方式有两种，第一种就是单独购买，比如你就喜欢某一本书，那么你可以单独购买这个本书，电子书的价格比实体书的价格便宜很多，原因就是因为实体书需要印刷、装订、传输、放到实体店或者网点售卖，中间经过的环节太多了，每一个环节都是成本的增加。”
　　“第二种方式，也是现在有人正在尝试的模式，那就是包月或者包年的读书服务。这种方式非常简单，和现在很多的视频播放软件类似，通过冲会员的方式，可以观看付费的影片，这个服务就是那种意思，只要交钱，就能看一些付费的书籍。”
　　“第一种方式我懂，但是第二种方式我知道有一些弊端，比如kindle也有这个服务，他们的名字叫做 Kindle Unlimited。
　　但是上面有很多的书籍都没有加入到这个服务中，也就是我交钱了很多书籍仍然看不了，不知道你们对这个怎么看？”

After a great deal of preparation, Danika begins her new digital dragon's life in a very small way.

They say the "Living Jade Empire" creates individualized quests. They say it can read your mind. They say you can find your heart's desire. They say that there's never been a game like it, and they're right but… they're also wrong.

The game is a data mine, built to retell the old tales that humans have been telling each other since language was invented. It doesn't read your mind, but it reads your search history, your favorites, and your blogs. The "Living Jade Empire" is literally crafted from fables, legends, fantasies, and maybe just a bit of stardust.

But in the end, will the game be able to figure out what Danika wants most? Will the desires of other players take priority? Or, will playing it change her, until she desires what it can give her?

A journey is always made up of many small steps, and this game has still only just begun.

    众多小米高管你一言我一语的讨论过后，不少高管的目光，都悄然汇聚在坐在雷总右侧的人物，方哲身上。
　　如果说雷总是小米的创始人兼主心骨的话，那么方哲这个小米的联合创始人兼首席顾问，就是小米的定海神针，从小米创办至今，不管多大的困难和难题，只要放在方哲面前，都能被解决掉。
　　许多高管心里嘀咕，要不是第一代小米pad产品研讨会方总有事没在场，第一代小米pad又何至于失败？
　　雷总也察觉到高管们的神色和态度变化，不过他内心对此早就习以为常，别说他们，就连自己，不也眼巴巴的等着方哲给出意见么，不然何必特意请方哲过来。
　　方哲对高管们的态度变化若有所觉，待到会议室内的讨论声小了以后，他缓缓开口说道：
　　“刚才大家讨论的东西，都很有道理，在分析小米pad的产品定位之前，我想问大家一个问题，大家有没有听过或使用过，kindle这款产品？”
　　“kindle?方总说的是亚马逊旗下的那款电子书阅读器吗？”
　　“当然用过，我每天中午休息都会用它看半个小时电子书，现在就在我办公桌上放着呢！”
　　“听过，挺好用的。”
　　“kindle对电子书的支持不要太好，有种纸质书的质感。”
　　提到kindle，许多高管都赞不绝口，kindle的电子书阅读体验，比什么ipad，各种pad都要强大太多。
　　与此同时，一些高管心里也冒出疑惑，方总，不会想让小米pad学者kindle做电子书阅读器吧？
　　“看来知道的人还不少，kindle，是一款优秀的电子书阅读器，但实际上，我们也可以把它看做pad的一个子分类，苹果的ipad带火了pad市场，但没谁规定，pad的设计，系统，内容等等各方面，都要跟着苹果ipad去做！”方哲说道。
　　许多高管若有所思，听方总这意思，方哲属意小米pad，像kindle一样，从子分类或一个子功能做突破。
　　“做产品有两种做法，一种是做加法，一种是做减法。
　　做加法，求的是大而全，是希望满足所有用户的需求，这样的产品越做越复杂，越做越繁琐，不管是Android系统还是ios系统，经过这么多年的迭代更新，都已经衍生出太多冗余的东西。
　　我们买一款新的ipad，上面原装的应用和功能，有80%都是我们平常用不到的。
　　做减法，求的是极简模式，专注于核心功能，苹果的创始人乔布斯，他生前就是一个专注于极简模式的人，苹果早期的许多设计，都堪称极简模式的典范。
　　最经典的，便是苹果iphone，首先抛弃了手机按键，只保留了一个home键，这在当时的全球手机行业，都是极为大胆和经典的创新。
　　做加法和做减法两种产品思路各有利弊，前者适用于一款产品满足用户的核心需求后，慢慢满足用户的冗余需求，后者则适用于一款产品从零开始设计和制作的时候。
　　大家应该都知道，我们小米第一代MIUI，就是采用做减法的产品思路做出来的！”
　　方哲提到MIUI的历史，引起了雷总和部分元老级小米高管的共鸣。
　　小米创业的时候除了一帮人一无所有，他们只能由简入难，先做MIUI操作系统，再做硬件，而做MIUI系统，同样并非易事，Andriod系统那么多功能，靠他们团队内的几个工程师开发，没个一年半载的，怎么可能做出一个完整的Android系统？
　　是以，最开始的时候，MIUI的设计思路便是做减法，所有非用户迫切需要的核心功能，都不做！
　　也因此，第一代MIUI用了短短几个月的时间便做了出来，随后也因为它的极简模式，广受许多刷机爱好者的好评，待到后来小米手机1发布的时候，MIUI已经在全球积累了上百万用户，为小米手机的一炮而红，奠定了不小的基础。
　　“用做减法的思路做小米pad!”众多高管思索着方哲的这句话。
　　方哲的思路不可谓不创新，不可谓不大胆，要知道目前市场主流的pad，几乎都是照着苹果ipad的模子做的，pad跟手机采用同样的操作系统，pad几乎就是一个大屏幕的，阉割了部分功能的手机，如果按照方总所说的再做减法？又该怎么做呢？
　　“在我看来，小米pad只需要满足大部分pad用户的核心需求即可，其他的需求，没必要在意和满足。
　　目前市场上，用户购买pad的主要需求是什么？你们谁能告诉我答案？”方哲发问道。
　　“玩游戏！”
　　“看视频！”
　　“聊天！”
　　“看书！”
　　不同的高管给出了不同的答案，方哲抬手压下高管们纷乱不一的答案，点名小米市场部的负责人说道：“你来说，我想你提前应该做过市场调查了？”
　　被点名的小米市场部负责人点点头说道：“是的，就在这次研讨会之前，我们还随机对2000名不同品牌的平板电脑用户做了问卷调查。
　　其中57.1%用户，使用平板电脑的主要目的是为了看视频，排名第二和第三的，分别是移动游戏和网购，而在女性用户中，主要使用平板电脑看视频的比例更高达68.3%。”
　　嘶！68.3%，市场部的负责人说到这儿的时候，许多机智的小米高管，已经猜到了方总想说什么。
　　看视频！这才是目前用户购买平板电脑的主要用途！
　　看着小米高管们一个个若有所思的样子，方哲提点道：
　　“很多用户，尤其是女性用户，购买pad的主要目的就是为了看视频，手机屏幕太小，电脑携带不方便，pad是看网络视频的最佳工具，不管是在家里，公司，地铁，床上，沙发上甚至卫生间，任何有网络的地方，都可以用pad追剧看视频。
　　所以小米pad的需求和产品定位就很明确了，就是专门用来看视频和追剧的，只要把这块内容做好了，小米就足以在市场上站稳脚跟甚至取得不小的成绩！”
　　小米pad专门用于看视频和追剧？
　　方哲对小米pad的产品定位，引起了小米高管们的讨论和热议。
