Takei and Imai deal with one of the most common gripes in today's world: choosing what to watch.

Luke sighs as he looks into the steamy mirror. He just finished taking a shower and started flexing in the mirror. "Guess I need to do more push ups." He quickly puts his clothes on and heads downstairs. 
"Ah son! Just in time. Come on grab the popcorn, the movie is about to start." Randy motions Luke over to the couch. Luke grabs the popcorn and hops into the seat. 
The movie starts and title pops on the screen,"Aliens." "Even though we've watched this movie a thousand times, it seems to never get old," Luke said. "Ah, yes. My favorite movie, I just love it when the facehugger latches itself to everyone and then eventually the xenomorph explodes out of their chest," Randy said. 

….

The credits start rolling and Randy is passed out on the couch. Luke rubs his eyes. He looks at his phone for the time. "Ugh it's 12:07, knowing Dad he'll want to get up early in the morning." 
Luke gets up and heads up the stair to his room. He looks for his phone charger and then remembers he left it in the car. "Crap." He sighs and shuffled back down the steps and out the front door. The cool night air feels nice against Luke's warm skin. 
He steps over to his dad's car and opens the door. He nabs his charger and then shuts the door. Luke sees his reflection on the sidewalk and look up at the night sky. "Man that's pretty." He pushes his glasses up. "Full moon huh." He smiles slyly. "Wonder if there's any werewolves around, awoooo!" Luke does a wolf howl just for fun. Silence returns him. He shrugs and starts back to the house. 
A stick breaks in the woods, beside his house, causing him to stop. "What was that?" Luke hesitates for a moment and looks in the direction the sound came from. Another stick breaks and Luke holds his breath. Luke can hear slow steps coming towards him. He starts taking slow steps back.
'It's right there, holy shit!'
The figure jumps out of the bushes and Luke gives a small squeal. "Meow?" Luke opens his eyes to see a small grey cat. He gives a small sigh of relief and chuckles. "Scared by a cat, man I'm pathetic." He kneels and holds his hand out. The cat walks to his hand, purring, longing for attention. 
"Good kitty, you know you scared me back there." "Meow?" Luke finishes petting the cat and starts to walk away. Another stick breaks in the woods. Luke whips around and is looking intently, trying to find what made the noise in the night. He waits a moment and then just decides it's nothing. "Probably just another darn cat." 
A cold and chilling wolf howl filled the area. Scared out of his mind, Luke ran back into his house, slammed the door, and locked it. 
He rest against it and breathes a sigh of relief. He just remembered his dad was asleep on the couch, so he turned and looked into the living room to see a sleeping father. Luke smiled for just a split second but then frowned at the thought of a wolf being near his home. 
'I'll tell Dad about this in the morning, right now I'm just too tired, ugh I hate being a little bitch sometimes.' He shakes his head as he heads up to his room.

….

"Haha! Did you see him run like a terrified child!" A male teen, just finished morphing back into his human form and is putting his clothes back on. 
"Yes I saw, whoopty doo." The blonde teen just rolled her eyes at her ridiculous friend. "Come on Allie, lighten up, you've been tense since that whole werewolf hunter deal." She stomps up to him. "That werewolf hunter, was the one who kill Leon's little brother, I think you should take that situation a little more serious, Jack." Allie crosses her arms. "I still haven't forgiven that dead fucker anyways." Jack brushes his chocolate brown hair from his eyes and gives her an understanding smile. "Well I got some news you might like." Allie grunts letting him know she's listening. "Well," Jack says, putting on his shirt, "I was talking to Leon on that hunter and he said that he thinks he's got a lead on where that hunter's base might be." "WHAT?" Allie unfolds her arms and looks towards Jack. "Yeah said that a pack in North Dakota, just past the state border, 15 hours from here, knew of a hunter base that they was fixing to get ready to destroy, so it's possible that hunter came from that base, and if he's not?" Jack shrugs his shoulders. "Then we just killed a bunch of hunters." 
Allie looks at her feet, lost in thought. Jack slips on his shoes. Allie then brings out her phone and checks the time. "Come on we need to get going. We got to finish patrolling the territory and then Leon and I need to talk." "You got it boss." 

Some kids in high school can make an impact along with their name written in stone, others are looked down upon and are forgotten in the shadows. 
His high school experience has been hell for Luke Howard. Since the first day at Lincoln High, he’s been bullied nonstop, rejected by 3 girls, been publicly embarrassed in front of the school, and his best friend since the 4th grade ditched him. All this changes, when he goes and visits his dad in Minnesota during the summer. He has an encounter that forever changed his life. Now his senior year is starting and Luke must learn to hide his new secret. Can he suppress the hunger that is inside of him?

"Avery we're going home," Alex demanded.

"Okay the two of you can have fun at home," I said as I went to go back inside.

"No you're coming too," Alex said as he grabbed my arm.

He grabbed onto my arm with the stitches and as a reflects I turned around and maneuvered out of his grip. I irritated my stitches, but I didn't care. In a few seconds, I had him by the neck showing him I could easily kill him.

He glared down at me and I glared up at him and my brother broke the silence and said, "Avery let go of him. And Alex I'm taking you home. Leave her alone. And we are going to talk in the car."

I let go and took a step back. I was breathing hard. It took everything in my mind to stop my natural instincts and squeeze his neck. My brother knew that, so he didn't even look in my direction.

Alex sent me a sharp glare, and he followed my brother to his car. My brother watched Alex get in the car, then he brought me my overnight bag. He clearly packed it because I never leave the house and I never really plan to.

He patted me on the head, then he headed to his car and drove away. I didn't want to walk inside without asking, so I knocked on the door. It was probably strange for me to do so, but of course, I didn't care.

The door opened not leaving a second to spare. I was eminently taken into someone's arms. I looked up confused as Hunter was just hugging me. tears brimmed my eyes, but I wasn't going to let them fall again today. Once was enough.

"Are you okay little one," he said as he put his face in my hair.

I hugged him back and said, "yes. Can I come inside now it's cold."

It feels good some times to feel that someone besides family cares for you. This guy has known me for only like an hour, and he is already so nice to me. his brother has known me for six hours and has brought me here. It feels like I've known these guys all my life.

Everything seemed to be moving so quickly with them. I don't know why they are treating me so nicely. It's nice but strange.

He let go of me and I walked inside. The other two were trying to not act suspicious. I acted as if I didn't know they were listening in on my conversation. Honestly, it was obvious just by the way they were acting.

I sat on the couch and started to go through my bag. Of course. My brother just gave me one of his t-shirts and hoodies, a pair of my jeans, undergarments, a small stuffed toy, and a bunch of snacks. You could tell he knew me well by the amount of food I had in my bag.

"Why do you have so much food," Aragon said as he leaned over my shoulder.

"No clue," I said as I opened up these chocolate cake looking things and started to eat some.

Hunter walked over and sat beside me and grabbed something from my bag and Aragon followed pursuit and did the same thing. I didn't hit them like I really wanted to, but instead, I just ate another one. The girl tried to get one from my bag I sent her a glare. She quickly grabbed one and stuck out her tongue at me.

Hunter looked at the rest of us and said, "you want to watch a movie?"

Aragon and I yelled like children and said, "yes!"

"No," the girl said as she stared blankly at me.

Hunter looked at the girl and asked, "why?"

"Because I want to spend time with you in your home," she said with a flirty tone.

"Gross," Aragon and I said in together.

Aragon and I started to die laughing. Showing the immature selves of us. Hunter gave his brother a weird look, then he gave me an even weirder look. I smiled at him as I got up from the couch.

My face turned serious as I said to Hunter, "do you have any popcorn?"

"Yes," he replied looking at me to see what I was going to do.

I fist-bumped the air and I took off running into the kitchen. I started to look through cabinets until I found the holy jackpot. I cooked three packages of popcorn. No, I didn't put it in a bowl the bag is good enough.

Once all the bags were popped I rushed into the room and gave the girl her own bag, the brothers have to share a bad, and I got a bag to my self. But the girl was "watching her weight" so she gave her bag to Hunter.

"Hey Avery you seem a bit chubby maybe you should go on a diet," she said glaring at me.

"I'm proud of this fat," I said as I patted my stomach.

She glared at me, but I ignored her and talked to the boys about what to watch. Before we started the movie we were going to watch I finished my popcorn, so I started to steal some from them. They ignored it, but you could tell they thought it was entertaining. I wasn't doing it to be entertaining I just really like microwave popcorn.

When the movie started the lights were off and the blinds were closed. Hunter wants to be girlfriend moved, so she was now sitting in his lap. She was trying to make out with him, but he was trying to watch the movie and shove his face full of popcorn before I ate it all.

She gave up after a bit and left. She seemed pissed, but Hunter didn't seem to care. I laid my head on Aragon's shoulder and watched the movie. For goodness' sake, that boy is a comfortable pillow. Comfortable enough that I fell asleep.

I woke up clearly late at night since the TV was off. I sat up a bit and I looked around to see that Hunter was asleep on the floor. I was laying down, my head on top of Aragon's lap. He was reading, and he looked up and smiled at me when he noticed that I was awake.

"Good late-night sleepyhead," he said as he put down his book.

I looked around and I saw that the clock read 11:45 pm. the table lamp was turned on low, so he could read. Everything seemed homier to it for some reason too. I had a soft blanket covering me along with a pillow on top of Aragon's lap. This was heaven.

"Am I in heaven," I said jokingly as I laid back down and I looked up into his eyes.

A smile grew on his lips and traveled to his eyes. He started to play with my hair, and we sat in silence for a moment. He looked like he was in deep thought, so I didn't bother him.

"Sadly no, but this would be nice heaven," he said as he came out of his deep thought.

"It took you that... long… To come up with an… Answer to… That," I said as I laughed.

His face turned a cute red and I smiled at him. Something came over me and I booed him on the nose. He looked crossed eyed for a second, then he looked taken back. Then after a second he just gave me a cute smile.

I played with his fingers as he played with my hair. It was relaxing. We sat in complete silence, but neither of us felt the need to break it.

After ten or so minutes I slowly started to dose off as I was holding his hand. He turned off the light, picked me up and kicked his brother. His brother stood up and made his way to his room. And while Aragon was taking me somewhere I fell asleep.

Avery is a girl who everyone is scared of for no reason. she just happens to be clumsy and gets hurt a bunch, so people think she has been in fights. everything in her life changes when problems start to occur. a bunch of them surrounding the boys she gets to newly meet. both have brothers. Aragon has an older brother who is nothing but trouble. Ashton has a little brother who is well behaved. they are both kids she could get along with, but she can only be around one. she doesn't know why, but the two don't get along at all.

This is also on Wattpad under the same name.
This is under pause, sorry if any one even is reading this. I don’t know where I’m going with this story right now. So it will be back up and running, but with changes.



Crystal stares at herself in the mirror one last time, admiring her lazy Sunday outfit before silently making her way out her room to meet Jackie down stairs. The dark skinned girl had already set up the movie she wanted them to watch. Munching on the pop corn on her lap just as the younger girl walked down the stairs. 

"Oh heeyy, what took you so long?" Jackie asks with a grin watching as the brunette takes a seat next to her. She grabs a pillow hugging it tight staring at the paused movie on the screen. 

"I literally just woke up right before you arrived. So what are we watching?" Crystal asks curiously eyeing the movie which was now playing. 

"It's called 'Not Cinderella's type'. I can't believe you haven't watched this.." the twenty two year old dark girl laughs, "you see, where Cinderella falls in love with the prince, this girl actually falls in love with someone else instead of him. Kind of hilarious to be honest" Jackes shrugs stuffing her mouth full with a handful of popcorn again. 

Crystal tilts her head pouting her lips as she stared at the movie. Romance. Of course it had to be romance. Not that she had anything against it but they were just so predictable most of the time. 

"Sakura and I have watched this movies several times already. I can't even count how many" Jackie exclaims once again making the blue eyed girl giggle, "we even forced Hunter to watch it with us one time". 

"Really? Poor guy. I can imagine how torturing it was for him" Crystal laughs reaching over for some of the pop corn in Jackie's lap. 

"Yeah. It was..." Jackie says trailing off before she hesitantly looks at Crystal, "speaking of Hunter. How are things going on here with him?" She suddenly asks and Crystal couldn't help but start choking on her popcorn. She hits her chest several times regaining control once more before glancing at Jackie with wide blue eyes. Jackie on the other hand had a blank face. Any sign of humor from moments ago completely gone. 

"Wh...what?" Crystal asks stupidly making Jackie stare at her with narrowed brown eyes. 

"Oh come on. You don't fool me. I know there's something going on between the two of you. I'm not as oblivious as Sakura" Jackie says with a shrug, putting a single popcorn into her mouth. "Now tell me" 

"I don't know what you're talking about" 

"Stop acting clueless Crystal you're just making everything worse!" Jackie suddenly snaps making the younger girl shrink back. Seeing her discomfort, Jackie sighs pushing her hair back. 

"Look.. I'm sorry I yelled at you but to be honest I'm kind of... Worried about you... And Sakura too" Jackie starts licking her dry lips, "ever since the first time Sakura introduced me to Hunter, I couldn't help but feel the strong negative aura he radiated. The the dark and sinister energy he carries himself with. Sakura is too blinded by love to notice but I know that Hunter does not love her as much as she loves him" she looks from her pop corn up to meet Crystal's eyes. 

"You however, I've seen the way he's looked at you since day one. I can tell he's made a move on you too since that day at the club from the way you acted with him. You looked scared and uncomfortable. And that just makes me suspect him more" Jackie suddenly leans in close making Crystal lean back a little when she gets a little to close but Jackie stops her by grasping onto the back of Crystal's neck. 

"I don't know if you know this. And I'm not going to tell you who told me. But I heard that Hunter... Isn't.. normal" Jackie whispers in Crystal's ear who raises her brows. 

'you don't say' Crystal is tempted to say but decides against it. 

"They say he's a wolf in sheep's clothing. Satan himself. He's not in a gang it anything, but they say he's the most dangerous and sinister person in the underworld. But most terrifyingly, they say he's a psychopath" Crystal's already wide eyes widen even more at the information as Jackie continues, "Hunter has his eyes set for you. And from the info I've gathered, he'd stop at nothing to get what he wants. Hunter wants you. He's taking a liking to you and that's why I want to warn you in time because I can tell he's already manipulated you into liking him too". Jackie pulls back looking Crystal in the eyes now. 

"Be careful Crystal. Hunter is dangerous. He's a monster. And what makes everything worse is the fact that he always gets away with everything because he has men in the police and even the others in the police department are afraid of him and what he's capable of.... I'd say you should go back to New York as soon as possible. Or even come home with me today. But we don't want to provoke him enough to harm you... But be careful" Jackie whispers in a warning tone staring between Crystal's wide glassy eyes. 

"Hunter is the devil. And you're the unfortunate little damsel that's wondered into his arms. And also from the looks of it, he's not willing to let you go" 

{} 

It's been about an hour since Jackie had left. After watching the Cinderella movie and several other ones, Jackie decided it was time for her to leave. Whispering one last warning in Crystal's ear before she left. 

"Call me if something goes wrong" Jackie had said. Patting Crystal lightly on the head before leaving. 

Crystal was beyond shaken at the moment. Her hands were literally shaking and she could feel her heart thumping so hard in her chest she was scared it would break her rib cage. 

What had she done in her past life to deserve this? Or did the Universe really just hate her? 

Crystal still had unanswered questions though. Like why the hell he had a picture of her mom in his drawer and also why he'd scribbled off the face of his dad. 

Those pills too, she'd figured it had something to do with his "condition". But what type? There were several types of mental illness. So which one did Hunter have? 

That day when he'd snuck into her room muttering under his breath over and over again that she should make them go away. Did that have to do with his illness too? Was he delusional? Hallucination? 

Crystal wasn't sure. 

She thinks back to the pills, remembering the name on the packet. Risperdal.... Yeah that was it. 

Grabbing her phone, she clicks on her browser immediately searching for what the medicine was for. The results appear and her blue eyes read over each word carefully. Brows raising and blue orbs widening. 

Used to treat Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and Autism... 

Schizophrenia... So that's what he meant by 'them'. 

She'd heard of such a thing before but didn't know much about it. All she knew was that the patient tends to hear several voices in his head. Voices that she guessed was what prompted Hunter that night to sneak into her room so she could get them to "go away". 

There were also several times she'd caught him talking to himself. Sometimes as if having a light conversation. And sometimes as if arguing. She always thought maybe he was on the phone and maybe wearing air pods. His hair was long so it wouldn't be a surprise if the strands covered them. But now she knew. Now she understood. 

Hunter was suffering from one of the most terrifying mental illness and she couldn't help but feel her heart tug a little at the thought. 

She also couldn't help but wonder, thinking over at this new information. What was she to do now? 

Was she supposed to ignore it? Or was she supposed to talk to him about it?

"If killing those people make me evil,



Then I don't want to be good" - Hunter

"That was such a good movie!"
 
"Agreed!"
 
"Oh please, you only enjoyed it because something blew up every five minutes!" Space told Luis and Hunter.
 
"Well yeah because explosions are awesome!" Hunter retorted.
 
"Not to me! My eardrums are sensitive," Spencer whined.
 
Andrew and Hunter both rolled their eyes in unison, "shut up Spencer."
 
The eight of us had met after school, deciding to watch a movie to celebrate since we had a half day. So, after being released we piled into Luis' RV like rabid animals craving popcorn and candy and drove off to the theater. By the time it was over, we were satisfied and stuffed full of popcorn and candy.
 
However, the end of the movie struck me hard. It ended with the people of the planet setting off a device that killed everyone, including themselves. When I saw that scene, I thought back to the night before, and what that post had said. And since then, I hadn't stopped thinking about it.
 
"Was it the truth, or a lie?" I asked myself within my subconsciousness.
 
"You good Ani?"
 
I turned my head, seeing Space walking next to me with a smile. She poked my cheek, trying to get my attention.
 
"Yeah I'm fine. Just tired, thinking about the movie," I said to her.
 
"You didn't enjoy it?" she asked.
 
I shook my head, "no no it was good. I liked it… it's just…"
 
"Awwww are you scared of the itty-bitty dark web article?" Space teased, smirking at my irritated tone.
 
"Yeah a bit," I admitted, "it's just kinda out of nowhere and it sounds so absurd. It's supposedly a reliable source... but I just couldn't ever believe something like that would happen. I mean, the end of the world? And by a nuclear attack? I always thought we'd all go out by a meteor or something."
 
"It's okay," she said as she patted me on the shoulder, "nothing is gonna happen."
 
I nodded before turning to look at Luis, who was walking beside Andrew and Hunter. He wore a dark grey hoodie and a grey flat-billed cap, giving off a sort of gangster look. And while he wasn't part of any gang, he was part of our school's underground weed business. From what I've heard, he's basically running it. 
 
"Hey Hamster, are we gonna stop for food?" I asked, turning to look at the burly man known as Luis.
 
He shot me a glare, "how long is it gonna take to get it through your thick skull!? My name is Luis, not Hamster! Why do you even call me that!?"
 
Hunter glanced at Luis, scanning him up and down, "do you really want an answer to that?"
 
"Screw you," Luis told him, crossing his arms.
 
Hunter scoffed, smirking, "you wish."
 
"Alright Luis," I said, "what's the plan? Stop for a quick bite?"
    
"We can stop at Jerry's if you want on the way home," he suggested.
 
Andrew shook his head, "too much popcorn. Let's just sit in the RV and wait a bit before we eat."
 
We all agreed on that, but as we walked through the parking lot, Maddie stopped and looked back, "oh shoot I almost forgot. My mom texted me a few hours ago and told me to pick up my little sister. She went to the movies with a friend from school and she wanted me to get her and take her home with me."
 
"Seriously? You're bringing a kid along?" Andrew asked, a bit bummed out.
 
"While normally I would not like to indulge in illegal hijinks that are normally inappropriate for a kid like Hunter would, I have to agree with him on that statement," Quinn said to me.
 
Maddie crossed her arms, "you guys Julia's not that bad! Just don't start smoking anything in front of her!"
 
"Alright go get her, we'll meet up with you out here," Hunter told her. She smiled and nodded, running back over to the theater.
 
Luis pointed ahead, "alright the RV is parked just around the corner. We can sit around there or maybe go grab something to eat."
 
The seven of us walked through the parking lot, eventually finding the RV all the way in the back of the parking lot. Spencer groaned, trudging his feet along the concrete. 
 
"Ugh," he dragged out the word for a moment, "why'd you have to park all the way back here?"
 
"Because puta, I didn't wanna deal with the police today. Damn racists," Luis said in an annoyed tone.
 
His RV was special, being much bigger than most RVs. It had a pretty big sunroof on top so you could slip in and out, and a ladder on the side to climb up. Overall it was kinda dirty on the outside, but that was mainly because it's owner never really took the time to wash it or anything.
  
To us, the RV was a banged-up clump of sheet metal, tires and an old flat screen television he dragged out of a dumpster, But to him, it was a home. He received it from his father years ago before his family hightailed it to Mexico and left him on its own, and ever since he's treasured it like his birthright.
 
"So, Hamster, did you clean this place up like I told you?" Space asked as we approached the RV.
 
He nodded before opening the door, "yep! All the trash is... mostly gone."
 
When the door swung open, we all stepped back, Space covering her mouth as all coughed over the strong stench of weed and cigarette smoke. While the floor seemed clean, the air wasn't. The familiar scent of weed lingered within the inside of the RV, and the only one able to stand it besides Luis was Hunter.
 
"Jeez, it's just a little bit of weed, calm your watermelons," Hunter said before he climbed into the RV, Luis following.
 
"It smells horrible in here! Luis before we go home, you're buying an air freshener," Space shouted at him as she climbed in.
 
He groaned and sat down, "it'll go away soon, just leave the door open."
 
One by one we all climbed in, taking our seats in the RV. It was still pretty messy, but it was an improvement from before. He had three seats in the back, each one able to fit maybe three people, and under the seats were small footlockers where you could store things. I was almost sure the footlocker under where I was sitting had either a bag of weed or a firearm. 
 
There was also a small bathroom and a closet where you could store things like food or supplies, which took up the middle section of the RV. In the front were the passenger and driver seats, along with a booth and a small kitchen counter with a sink, the booth able to seat four people. Lying beside the booth was a toolbox, a tackle box, some machetes, and my crossbow I had brought on our last hunting excursion.
 
Luis took up one seat, laying down to keep it for himself. Quinn sat on another seat, Andrew walking past him towards the front. He was on his phone while listening to music and was generally ignoring us all now. Hunter sat down beside Quinn and I took the third seat, Space taking the spot beside me. Usually she sat on the floor to make room for someone else but was now deciding to sit up here next to me. Spencer sat on the floor, due to the lack of seats. He didn't mind though and pulled a small blue game device out of his hoodie he began mindlessly playing.
 
I knelt down, picking up my crossbow and making sure it was in tip top shape. Luis wasn't the best at keeping things clean and organized, but luckily all the bolts were just where I left them.
 
"Alright so what do you guys wanna watch?" asked Luis as he pulled out the TV remote, "scary movies? Cartel movies? Maybe that one new movie with the hooker and the-"
 
"Put on something appropriate for a kid okay? As much as I'd love to watch a guy get stabbed to death while getting a lap dance, I don't wanna make Maddie upset by having her little sis walk in on a sex scene," Hunter told him.
 
He groaned and pressed one of the buttons on the remote, causing the TV to switch onto a kid's cartoon. However, almost immediately after the TV switched on, Andrew pulled out a deck of cards.
 
"Anyone wanna bet?" he asked.
 
Hunter and Luis both raised their hands, opening their wallets as Andrew slid a milk crate between the three and placed down an old rag to cover the holes. He passed out the cards to everyone before they began a game of War, and I was left to spectate.
 
A knock came on the side of the door, and we all turned to see Maddie walk up, a young girl behind her. She had long brown hair that ran past her shoulders, pale skin just like her sister, and plain brown eyes. She was staring through the doorway at Hamster, who was trying to stuff a plastic bag in between the seat and the wall. When he saw her he froze, moving his hands away.
 
"Oh sorry, I thought you were a cop," he said. in his Hispanic accent.
 
"Do I look like a racist old lady munching on donuts?" Maddie asked, climbing into the RV and helping Julia up the stairs. She wasn't as young as we thought. She was nervously clasping her hands together, staring down at the ground as she stood next to Maddie.
 
"Guys this is Julia," she said before turning to her, "you've met Spencer, Anikan, and Hunter before I think, but this is Ace, Quinn, Andrew, and Luis."
 
Luis gave her a simple wave, Space waved at her excitedly and gave her a quick "hi", Quinn shook her hand, and Andrew simply ignored her from the other side of the room. 
 
"You're actually being nice to children for once?" I asked Quinn.
 
He glared at me, "I mostly despise children for being annoying and loud. However, while I do not particularly like most children, this one does not seem to be either of those. So she is neutral."
 
"Hi," she said quietly before sitting on the floor beside Maddie, staring at the ground and tracing out the lines on the shag carpet.
 
"Alright if I'm gonna have a kid in here, they better not spill anything. This RV is my pride and joy, and I don't wanna have to replace the carpet because some gremlin spilt grape juice," Luis told Maddie.
 
"Look Luis, if you like your RV so much, why don't you just bang her already?" Hunter suggested.
 
Before Luis could shout back a comeback, Spencer smirked, "I mean, who says he hasn't? I'd bet a fifty he's stuck his dick in the tailpipe!"
 
While the two cackled in laughter, Luis continuing to stare them down, Maddie glared at the two, "there's a kid here, watch your mouths!"
 
"Calm down Maddie it's just a few swears," Spencer said, calming down a bit.
 
"Sorry Madds," Hunter said to Maddie before looking towards the girl, "sup lil muffinsack. How was your movie?"

"H-Hi. It was really good," the girl replied before retreating behind Maddie.
 
All of a sudden, our phones beeped. I picked mine up to see a notification from the news app appear on my screen. A breaking news report of some sort.
 
Maddie held up her hand, "Hamster turn on the news please."
 
"Stop calling me that!" he said to her before switching channels.
 
The news flashed on, conveniently showing the beginning of a news report. The man on the screen was talking in a serious tone about a topic which was displayed on the top right of the screen. At first, I was wondering why she wanted to watch it, but when I read over the caption, I was intrigued.
 
"Reports show that the sudden outbreak of mutated humans has seemingly grown, and four percent of the entire United States of America has seemingly fallen victim to this virus. The source of it is unknown, and scientists are working to find a cure, but if anyone begins showing suspicious behavior, please beware. More details and information to come on this breaking story later tonight, so tune in then."
 
I had heard about this a few weeks prior, after a video was released online and went viral for a few days before dying down. 
 
 
I sat in class, bored out of my mind, when suddenly a finger tapped my shoulder. I turned around to see a fellow classmate standing behind me, an alerted look on his face.
 
"Yo man you gotta see this! There's some crazy shooting going down over the bridge!" Ricardo told me.
 
I stood up, marching across the room to where several other classmates were crowded around a chromebook. I peeked past them to see a video on loop of a body on the ground. He was surrounded by police officers.
 
One of the officers approached the body, and I gasped in shock as the corpse began to shift. It began to spaz, almost as if it was having a seizure, and then it rose up. The man pounced on the officer, tearing into his neck with what seemed to be fangs.
"What the hell?"
 
"This is just a prank right?"
 
"Ah that's just a cheap vine. Skip!"
 
I stepped away from the desk, both confused and worried. What was going on?
 
 
"That's just a bunch of propaganda. Probably some new strain of the flu or something," Hunter commented.
 
"Possibly... I could head to work tomorrow and ask some of my colleagues if they know anything about this," Quinn said, "a few of them have friends who work on the CDC so it's not out of the question they'd know something about this."
 
Spencer then snickered, holding up his phone "it's barely been a few months, and there's already memes about it!"
 
A picture of a disfigured and blood covered man sat on the screen, captioned with the line, "me on Monday going to work with a hangover."
 
"Enough with the bad news. You guys wanna go grab a few cheeseburgers?" Luis asked.
 
I nodded, the others agreed. Luis got up and walked up to the front of the RV, passing Andrew whose gaze never left his phone. He got into the driver's seat and started up the RV, driving out of the parking space and out of the lot.
 
"So Julia, what grade are you in?" Space asked the young girl sitting beside Maddie.
 
"I'm in seventh grade," she said nervously, her voice soft and quiet.
 
"Really? Halfway through middle school right?" she asked with a smile.
 
"Mhm," she answered with a nod. She certainly was a lady of few words.
 
We drove the RV down and road and I stared out the window, admiring the city as we passed by. Our town was kinda small, but unique in a way. It was set up on an artificial piece of land across from the mainland of California. Our only connection were two bridges, the North Bridge and East Bridge.
 
However, I enjoyed the small town feel. Unlike my friend Lydia, who lived in New York City, our town was a minimalist. One high school, middle school, and elementary school, a small handful of neighborhoods, and not even a mayor. It was, in my opinion, pretty peaceful.
 
I looked down at my phone while we drove, seeing several text notifications from none other than Lydia. I smiled at the sight of her picture beside the message and opened the phone to answer.
 
Lydia: How was the movie?
 
You: Pretty good, why?
 
Lydia: Just wondering if you were still thinking about that thing from last night.
 
You: A little.
 
Lydia: Are you okay?
 
You: Yep! Everything's good!
 
Lydia: Alrighty, well if you're free tonight you wanna hop on and play something? Knights of Dragonia?
 
You: Sure, I'll be looking forward to it!

Lydia: ttyl! <3
 
I sat there smiling for a few seconds, my eyes focused on the small digital heart before I set the phone down, unaware that our call would never take place. I then looked towards Space, who was messing around on the navigation app. She was charting a course of some sort, checking the time it would take to get between here and what seemed to be Chicago.
 
"What's going on in Chicago?" I asked, "some school tournament or something?"
 
Space looked up at me nervously, "oh um, I was thinking about taking a trip out of town to um… visit someone."
 
I could tell she didn't want to say any more, so I didn't push the issue. I picked my phone back up, staring at the screen as I debated whether or not to invite Addison, my other online friend, to the call Lydia and I would be having tonight. On one hand, we hadn't called in a few days, but on the other, it would be nice to have some alone time with her.
 
Several minutes later the RV pulled up a fast food restaurant, driving around the side up to the radio on the side next to the menu. One by one we ordered our food, Luis going last.
 
"Yo man I want two number nines, a number nine large, a number six with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45's, one with cheese, and a-"
 
"Luis keep the references to a minimum," Space scolded with a glare.
 
We then pulled up to the next window, where we all gave a few dollars to pay. Maddie slapped Spencer on the back of the head, distracting him from his game so he could play. He reached into his hoodie, pulling out a few dollars and tossing them at Luis. 
 
"There seems to be something peculiar going on," Quinn commented, keeping me from zoning out. Hunter and I stood up, glancing out the window Quinn was staring at. Down the street there were several police cars sitting in the road, their flashing lights illuminating the night sky.
 
"Stay here," Hunter told everyone before hopping out of the RV. I was curious about the situation as well, so I followed, and both Space and Quinn did as well. We stopped in front of the fast food joint, joining another small crowd of customers who had come outside to see the commotion.
 
A man was standing in the center of the road, several cops surrounding him with their weapons drawn. I pushed past the other people and made it to the edge of the sidewalk, crouching down as I neared one of the parked police cars. I peeked over the top, eyeing the man closely.
 
"Put it down!" One of the cops shouted at him.
 
The man shouted back in a foreign language I couldn't understand. A hand grabbed my shoulder and I jumped, thinking I had gotten caught. I stopped and looked back, seeing Hunter and the others crouching down behind me. 
 
"Are you crazy!? Let's go before we get caught!" he shouted at me in a hushed tone.
 
I shook his arm away, "not yet! Space do you know what he's saying?"
 
"Nope," she said with a shake of her head, "Quinn?"
 
"Affirmative. He's speaking in Russian it seems... let me think..."
 
The man stepped back, shouting something else as he held his hands high in the air. But he didn't seem to be surrendering. If he was, the police would have taken him down. But they were surrounding him, not daring to move more than an inch. Why didn't they just cuff him?
 
"Why?" I asked myself within my mind as my heart began to beat faster and faster, as if it was preparing itself for the danger that was yet to come, "if he was surrendering, and he didn't have a hostage, then why didn't they arrest him already?"
 
As the man shouted at the cops, Quinn's eyes widened. He suddenly whispered, "it seems he has a bomb."
 
"What!?"
 
And suddenly, it happened. One of the police officers opened his mouth to speak, taking a step forward to the foreign man's left. The man noticed, let out a scream, and suddenly, a flash of light. I stared into the explosion, feeling the full force of a large explosion as it shook the street. The road was torn apart, the cars blown backwards by the force of the explosion.
 
The last thing I saw before blacking out was that police officer. One moment he was there, and the next he was torn apart by the blast.

The Omega Event follows a group of eight teenagers who discover the truth behind a world ending nuclear event that could mean the end of America and themselves. After their initial disregard of the truth, a deadly encounter leads them to realize that the end is truly upon them. Desperate to survive, they set off on a life threatening road trip across America in the hopes of escaping the claws of death that is THE OMEGA EVENT.

Over the next couple of days I enjoy the normal sort of life that I never had. Me and my mate and Abel of course. We wake have breakfast, train then lunch go out for some fun then dinner and movie before bed. Its abit blissful I'm not sure what to do with myself. 

We just finished a movie and Abels in bed I get ready too and I'm gonna try abit of romance. It never hurt I suppose I get out a lacy red silk night dress instead of my sweats and head for the shower. When I come out there's still no sign of Hunter. I wait another while. Getting bored of playing with my phone I go to his study and stand in front of his desk.

"Busy?"

"Yes sorry sunshine, some Alpha arriving tomorrow along with a few of his pack and I am planning the route, accommodation and everything else. You go to bed".

I look down at myself then at him, he hasn't even lifted his head. I lean over the desk and ask "Are you sure you can't come to bed".

"Sorry in abit sunshine, nearly done".

"Fine". I walk out no doubt he still hasn't lifted his head to see me. Men, sorry wolves I give up. 

I go to our bedroom and strip off this now ridiculous thing that I cant to sleep in, its way too tight. I grab his tshirt from the bottom of the bed and get in. Pulling the covers over my head and sighing. I'm acting like those silly girls in movies that demand attention. Nope not me. He will have to work to get my attention from Tommorow onwards. I fall asleep cussing him and myself for being silly.

"Sunshine... sunshine... I'm sorry. Where you wearing this?".

Hunter has my nightdress in his hands and I remember i threw it on the floor earlier. Damm it. Ignore him. I turn around and face the other side.

"Sunshine please put it back on". I feel him squeeze in my side of the bed and I move over.

"Come on sunshine im sorry, ill always give you my full attention from now on". He kisses my neck. Ok hes being cute. He has his arms wrapped around me. I suppose this is what I wanted a few hours ago. I turn and face him and he moves on top of me. Looking all sexy, his hair is all messy. He must have run his fingers threw it while working.

"it doesn't matter it doesn't suit me anyway". I'm forgiving him but can't help give off abit to him as it wasn't nice to feel ignored.

"Well I would of liked to of seen you in it Sunshine... but my tshirt and what are these lacy bottoms? is now my favourite". With that he growls and grabs me towards him. I can feel every inch of his hard body.

We start making out long, hard and passionate kisses. Oh goddess I need my mate, I can feel him wanting me too. We pull away panting, needing breath as well as more of each other.

"You are amazing my love, I love you, I have such a beautiful mate".

"I love you too". I say and wrap my legs around his waist and we start kissing again. His hands are on my hair then my waist then grabbing my ass to him. I grind abit knowing im teasing him.

"Are you sure my love?".

"Yes always and forever Hunter".

He kisses my neck and licks my sweet spot and bites. There's pain then pleasure. He licks my neck and I do the same to him. We are know mates for all to see. After we both strip and give into our lust until morning.

Tired, satisfied and feeling loved we cuddle into each other and fall asleep.

"Always and forever my sunshine".

Danny ignored the concerned look the security guards passed him. They might have noticed the grimace on his face. He couldn't help how it distorted in pain every time he took a step forward. Danny inserted the key into the hole, twisting it to open the lock and wondered why his best friend didn't opt for the fingerprint or password-based digital door lock system. He's crazy rich, after all. 
The mansion had everything designed in the old-fashioned style, including the handle door lock. On second thought, Danny actually felt grateful that it didn't have the digital lock system. If it required entering a password, Danny was sure he would've messed it up because right now he couldn't think or remember anything except running into the safety of his room before anyone sees him. 
It was late when he reached home, and he prayed that none of his friends would be awake, but it seemed he'd no such luck. The living room on the second floor had dim lighting, and Danny guessed his friends were in the home theatre on the third floor. 
'How did I forget? Friday night is our movie night.'
He felt a pang of guilt in his chest for ditching his friends at the dinner. He took off to his bedroom, and after double-checking the door to make sure he'd locked it, he removed the ugly yellow trench coat and grimaced in disgust before dumping it in the trash can. It reeked of alcohol and tobacco. Jack's friend exchanged it with his hoodie because the wanker liked it. 
"Don't leave the wound open for too long, boy. Tend to it before it gets worse and apply something on it," Jack had said, mocking sympathy. Danny cursed the drug dealer and removed his shirt carefully and threw it into the trash can as well. The wound wasn't that deep, but it still stung like a bitch. 
He took a bath and applied an antiseptic cream on the cut. He bandaged it himself and got dressed in his sweats before knocking the door to the home theatre. No one paid attention when he entered as they all looked busy. Danny's eyes involuntarily searched for his sister and found her sitting in the last row with his best friend. 
They weren't watching the movie, but instead, Victoria secret fashion show played on the screen. Danny smiled, immediately guessing it was Evelyn's pick to watch it. He found her rocking her head and shoulder in sync with the music while Shawn Mendes performed. He felt like a sore loser for ditching her tonight after all that hard work they did in the kitchen. 
Meanwhile, Eric and Michael had their eyes glued to the screen. The beauty and hotness of the skinny models had their undivided attention. Bianca and Samantha were having fun dancing to the tune of their favourite singer. Danny silently marched towards Evelyn and took his seat beside her. 
"Sorry for ditching you, Princess," he whispered in her ear. Her smile was blinding, and he felt like it instantly healed the wound in his abdomen. She looked more beautiful than those angels on the screen. 
'God, I'm fucked for good.'
He couldn't help but smile like an idiot at her welcoming gesture. 
He ignored when Michael gave him a questioning look while Eric glared in return, clearly pissed at Danny. 
He chanced a glance at Hera and Hunter. His sister was busy playing Candy Crush Saga game on Hunter's phone. Danny could hear the faint sound of the game even in the middle of the loud music. Hunter wasn't watching the screen, Hera being the object of his sole attention, a smile played on his lips as he stared at Hera. 
He pinched the side of her neck in an attempt to shift her attention back to him and grinned when Hera's fist punched his arm before she shoved him away. He repeated the action, and his Goddess glared before pinching his cheek harshly. Hunter grabbed her hand and pulled her onto his lap, trying to kiss her. Danny looked away from them and sighed, the conflicting emotions overflowed weighing his shoulders down. 
Jack had offered another way to repay him, but Danny wasn't sure if that eased his worries one bit. "If your little sister agreed to work in my strip club for a month, it would earn me the lost money back. Because the regular guests of my club are all rich fuckers," Jack had said. Danny wanted to strangle him when he grinned, satisfied with his suggestion. 
Reluctantly Danny had inclined his head, not that there's any other way to escape it. That helpless nod had made Jack agree to let him off the hook for the time being. 
"We're calling it a night," Hunter announced suddenly, putting a halt to Danny's chain of thoughts. He watched as his best friend carried his sister in his arms in bridal style and walked out of the theatre. 
Hunter kicked the door shut with his foot and walked to the bed. Hera squealed when he threw her on the bed, and her form bounced on the soft mattress. Laughing, he pulled his T-shirt over his head and tossed it right onto her face when she teasingly whistled at him.
Hera rolled over onto her back, making room for him. She smirked before biting her bottom lip with an appreciating gaze fixed on him, feasting on his naked torso. Propping her head up on an elbow, she looked down at Hunter as he settled beside her. He arched his brow with a knowing look before rolling his eyes at her. 
"Stop staring at me like I'm the last meal of your life. You're scaring me, Goddess," Hunter said, giving her an unimpressed look. Hera chuckled cutely and pecked him on the mouth. "You're the last meal of my life, Mr Hunter, a favourite one at that," she whispered as if it's supposed to be a secret. 
He held his breath as her hands roamed over his torso experimentally. Shaking his head, he pushed her away, and Hera pouted in disappointment. "You're breaching the line, Goddess. I don't want to do anything that you would regret later. So I'm warning you, don't play with me, I'm this close to losing my restrain," he said, warning her. "I only wanted to kiss you," Hera offered in her defence. 
Hunter glared at her with his narrowed eyes, causing Hera to roll her eyes in return. "Lucifer, stop acting like you don't want to touch me. Innocence doesn't suit you," she said accusingly. "And what wedding night was Mike speaking about?" She asked. When Hunter ignored her, she gave him a dirty look. 
"I hate it when you hide things from me. You have this rule of 'no secrets' with your friends, but you keep secrets from me," Hera said, throwing a pillow at him to emphasize her anger. 
Snorting his laughter, Hunter silently arranged the pillow back to its original place before grabbing his cell phone. "Goddess, give me ten minutes. I need to talk to my parents," he said, leaving a peck on the crown of her head. Hera scoffed and glared at his retreating frame as he walked away from the bed towards the open balcony. 
"I'll kill you if you don't answer my question after finishing your call," Hera yelled, threatening him with her fingernails which she assumed to be her claws right then. Hunter grinned at her before pulling the glass door shut behind him. 
It took him more than ten minutes to finish his conversation with his parents, and Hera decided to brush her teeth in the meantime. 
When she returned from the bathroom, her eyes rounded in surprise before narrowing into slits. Hunter was on the bed, with books perched around him, some of his books and some belonged to her. Arranging the wet towel on the backrest of the desk chair, she marched towards him. 
She didn't miss how Hunter eyed towel disapprovingly where she'd left it on the chair. "It has a particular place made for it you know," he said, confirming her thoughts. "You, neat freak, stop trying to divert my attention. I told you, you're not getting a veto on that question," Hera said, joining him on the bed. 
Hunter silently offered his phone to her while she eyed it cluelessly. "If you drop that topic, you get to play games, and I'll study until we fall asleep or I'll answer that question and tutor you till you fall asleep. Choose your options, Goddess," he said and smirked at her annoyed face. Hera mouthed "Fine," before snatching the phone from his hands. 
Candy Crush and Word Cross couldn't keep her interested for more than thirty minutes, and when she got bored, Hera opened his Instagram. He hadn't posted any new picture, since their date. She read some comments under his posts and then scrolled through the explore page to kill time. Hunter, the bookworm, he was known for, had already lost track of time, immersed deep in his book. 
Hera's thumb scrolled upward again as a picture demanded her immediate attention. She'd almost missed it while scrolling down. She thought she'd seen a sketch or maybe it's a painting she wasn't sure. Hera had very little knowledge regarding art and artistic things.
Her eyes widened to their full size, and she sat up, crossing her legs as she found it. It was Hunter's picture. Someone had drawn his sketch. 


"Your virginity has always been mine to take," he said while his fingers gripped the neckline of her gown ready to rip it off. Her teary eyes widened in shock at his declaration, and she forgot to breathe. All the colours drained from her face as she froze frightened.

She was meant to be his forever, but his one mistake turned her love into hatred. He was her Prince Charming, but her hatred turned him into a heartless Villain. 

Mistakes and misunderstandings led to heartbreaks.

She doesn't want to be with him anymore, but he doesn't want to let her go, ever. 

A Love-Hate relationship between childhood Sweethearts who turned into archenemies by the time they reached adulthood. 

Read on to know more about their journey into the roller-coaster ride of LOVE. 


PS. The male protagonist comes with a bit of negative shade. My characters are immature reckless teenagers, and they act impulsively. They make mistakes and wrongs, but eventually, they'll learn from their wrongdoings. Don't be too quick to judge them unless and until you read till the end.

In retrospect, the life of the vast majority of people in college was not that exciting.
Every corner of the campus exuded the gross scent of love, where couples publicly displayed their affection everywhere. The classic scenes of romance novels were brought to life here every night. The president of the student union and the heads of various clubs were in high spirits, organizing various activities. However, the buzz couldn't conceal the fact that most people were single. The only three places that they could go were the dormitory, canteen, and classroom, either attending classes or having fun with their roommates.
It was as if the city was an exciting place, but it had nothing to do with most people.
After graduation, they would soon realize that they actually didn't do much during their time in college. Life on campus didn't feel so monotonous and boring, though. Even if the students were bored, there was always someone around to spend time with them.
It was not until they entered society, that they realized the familiar avatars in their friend list on a random game hadn't come online for a long time. The online game that they used to play together had now been replaced by other online games.
This specific breed of loneliness was probably called growing up...
Those, however, were the things that they had to consider in the future. For now, the four, still in their sophomore year, felt like college life would never end.
Today, the film club was slated to play a Quentin classic in the small auditorium—Django Unchained. After a meal, Chen Huadong dragged Zhang Heng and Wei Jiangyang to watch the movie together in flip-flops. They paid two yuan each before entering the auditorium.
Although they came twenty minutes before the movie started, many were already seated. The first few rows of seats were either occupied or reserved.
Chen Huadong did not rush to find a seat. Instead, he looked around him and saw many pretty girls. Some of them came with boyfriends, meaning he wouldn't have to chance to talk to them. Others sat alongside their roommate or friends...
Chen Huadong was one who lacked guts. After struggling for a long time, he saw many pretty girls, but he had no courage to make a move to sit beside one of them. After all, there were still so many empty seats in the auditorium. If he went ahead and sat beside a gorgeous one, everyone would find out his true intention.
"Over the top. I think they are over the top. It doesn't match my calm and mature temperament." Chen Huadong shook his head and chose one of the seats in the middle row. However, he made sure to explore the possibility of sitting next to some of the girls that came late. Hence, he picked a seat where both of his sides were still empty.
If what he imagined came true, he could only blame it on fate.
Wei Jiangyang sat on his left side, while Zhang Heng sat near the aisle. Wei Jiangyang then said, "Master Chen, if you continue to act like this, I am afraid that you'll be single for the rest of your four years in college."
"Show me what to do in this situation then?" Chen Huadong squinted at Wei Jiangyang, "Sit right there?"
"It's inappropriate. This trick can only be used by Young Master Zhang. I'm afraid that the ordinary people of my generation will be unable to master it," Wei Jiangyang shook his head.
"That's not enough. In the end, one's look is still the most important factor to attract girls," Chen Huadong sneered. "If I were blessed with a handsome face, I wouldn't worry about where I should sit. I could sit wherever I want, and the girls would automatically flock to me."
"That makes sense."
...
Chen Huadong's wishful thinking eventually fell through. In the end, the seats in the auditorium were not fully occupied. A boy sat next to him, though, and the two silently looked at each other, glimpsing a touch of loneliness in each other's eyes.
"Why do men make another man suffer?" Wei Jiangyang said.
Similar things were happening everywhere in the auditorium. This was the age where hormones raged. However, bashfulness got the better of them, and it was causing both the boys and girls to be too embarrassed to take the first step. Everyone was waiting for the signal to make up for the next ninety-nine steps. Yet, no one was willing to take the most critical step—the first.
As such, a love story would not be born here.
Seeing that the auditorium was full, the film club stopped letting people in and began the movie began to play. The students' commotion calmed down as well, as the crowd started to immerse themselves in the film.
The bounty hunter Schultz, pretending to be a dentist, brought the black man called Django to hunt down their target, and their enemies outnumbered them. When Chen Huadong saw that, he commented, "Quentin is a legend. The scenes are pretty explicit. How did the film club members get their hands on the uncensored version? I want to be a bounty hunter now. I envy their lives so much! They ride their horses everywhere to bring down the scales of justice, and they were paid to do that. Life can't get any better than that."
"Hey, wasn't your dream moving to Japan to be a porn director?" Wei Jiangyang asked.
Zhang Heng, on the other side, shook his head. "It's not that simple being a bounty hunter. The risks outweigh the benefits. The west is vast, and people have to endure extreme heat all the time. No one can work as a bounty hunter forever. If you possess the skills for that, it would be better to move into a small town and become their sheriff."
"Pfft. You make it sound like you've worked as a bounty hunter before," Chen Huadong rolled his eyes.
The movie was rather lengthy. The North American version was 165 minutes in total, which was almost three hours. The movie started at seven in the evening, and only ended around ten. When the ending credits started rolling, students started to leave the auditorium one after another while discussing the movie they had just watched. Chen Huadong felt that the dentist was too impulsive, and thanks to his inability to let go of his grudge, he was killed in the end. It was really not worth it. As for Wei Jiangyang, he was interested in the explicit scenes. With a newfound interest in Quentin Tarantino, he decided to binge-watch the "Kill Bill" trilogy.
After the movie, Zhang Heng discovered that he had received a new email.
After looking at the sender, Zhang Heng realized that the inevitable had come.
It was an email from the game committee.
Its contents told about the proxy war that was bound to happen in a week. At the same time, other agents in various places had also received the same email. Zhang Heng found a secluded corner and opened up the mail to read it. 
The organizing committee first congratulated Zhang Heng for entering the second stage of the game and announced the time and general rules.
The rules were almost the same as before. It was still quest-based, but the new quests were no longer the ones where the player needed to master their skills and search for game items. They would now be more inclined to a level system. And these quests would be more dangerous and unpredictable—they adopted the elimination system, their purpose similar to what the old man in Tang suit told him. They were carried out to rank all the agents, and the final winner stood to get a mysterious gift prepared by the organizing committee.


Growing up with eccentric materialistic parents who left him in the care of his grandfather for a job overseas, Zhang Heng had learned to adapt and be unfettered by the oddities and challenges in life. But he would soon learn the baffling truth about the world he thought he knew when one day at midnight time froze and he found himself in a world so quiet and still it was deafening. That night, he discovered that he had 24 hours more than everybody else and thus, marked the beginning of his adventures. The mysteries surrounding his newfound ability only deepened when a strange old man claimed to have given Zhang Heng that ‘gift of time’ and recruited the young man to participate in a cryptic ‘life-changing’ game on his behalf. Little did Zhang Heng know that accepting those terms meant embroiling himself in many versions of reality and exposing himself to the hidden secrets of the world—a decision he could never undo.

A bitter expression immediately appeared on the face of the young man.
Just because I've taken an extra glance at you in the crowd~
Cough, no, that wasn't it.
Just because I wrote a post about you online~
Someone came to my house with the excuse of checking my water meter~
Forcing me to write a 10,000-character-long review for the whole day~
And making me fall into the hell of criticism~
After ❮Apocalypse War❯'s trailer came out, the young man wrote a review only for the sake of thrashing Evil General Mingyue's character. However, that very same evening, someone came to his house with the excuse of checking his water meter.
Still, the strange thing was that these people that came to check his water meter didn't really arrest him in the end. On the other hand, they even rewarded him with a pile of glowing red banknotes.
Then, just as he was wondering if the brain of the opposite party had some problems... he discovered that this was indeed the case.
Soon after, that man that seemed to be in a bad mood told the young man to write a 10,000-character-long review about Evil General Mingyue's character. If he successfully completed the task, he would get a reward like the one he'd just received. But if he didn't... there would be serious consequences.
That evening, the young man kept writing for the whole night.
However, he was ultimately unable to complete the task. After all, Evil General Mingyue had appeared in the trailer in just one scene. Aside from that, the only other materials available were his stage pictures attached to the list of the actors.
What could he possibly write in an essay based merely on two pictures?
When students in school had to look at pictures and write what they thought about them, the length of the composition would be around 500 characters at most.
Therefore, he was absolutely unable to write a 10,000-character-long review with so little information.
Thereupon, when that person that seemed to be in a bad mood came over the next day, the young man failed to provide him the draft of the review.
As such, the young man made a proposition to the other party. He asked if he could watch the movie before writing another review about Evil General Mingyue—the objective was to gain a deeper understanding of his character first.
His request was rather reasonable.
Although that man that seemed to be in a bad mood looked rather scary, it turned out that he was actually open to persuasion.
He, too, felt that the request of the young man was reasonable.
Thereupon, the very first day the movie was screened, that man that seemed to be in a bad mood personally accompanied the young man to the movie theater and bought tickets for two seats in a good position.
The duo sat side by side and watched ❮Apocalypse War❯.
After they finished watching the movie...
"Now, you shouldn't have any problem writing a 10,000-character-long review about Evil General Mingyue, right?" that man that seemed to be in a bad mood asked.
The young man patted his chest, and said, "There shouldn't be any problem now. After watching the movie, I have a lot of things that I want to write about Evil General Mingyue. I will write something as soon as we head back!"
But after he had said this sentence, the body of the young man stiffened.
What the hell!?
He had just finished watching ❮Apocalypse War❯ at this time, and his body was still in that special state where he'd been accompanying Ling Ye and fighting against Evil General Mingyue alongside him.
However, after he carefully thought about how Evil General Mingyue made his appearance, he felt that his impression of the general was becoming more and more indistinct.
It wasn't that he couldn't remember the plot... it was only his impression of Evil General Mingyue's character that was getting blurry.
The young man was dumbfounded!
How can that be? Is it possible that I was under too much pressure, and the more I'm trying to keep every detail in mind, the more I'm forgetting it?
But the scariest thing was that all his memories related to Evil General Mingyue were getting more and more indistinct as time passed by!
The young man had started panicking.
"What are you thinking about?" That man that seemed to be in a bad mood, but was actually rather easy-going, asked.
"Nothing, nothing. Let's head back. I will immediately start writing the review," the young man quickly replied.
He had to get back as soon as possible. Otherwise, all his memories related to Evil General Mingyue might disappear!
Dammit, if I had known earlier, I would have brought a notebook with me and taken notes while watching the movie!
❄️❄️❄️
In the meantime.
In a movie theater next to the Yellow Mountain.
Song Shuhang and Su Clan's Sixteen were sitting side by side and watching the movie.
Although they had already watched the movie during that premiere exclusive to the Nine Provinces Number One Group, watching it alongside ordinary people in the movie theater had a special flavor to it.
In addition, Song Shuhang was eager to know what the audience thought of the movie.
Did they have a favorable opinion of it, or a negative one?
Although he wasn't interested in becoming an actor... this was the first movie he had ever shot, and he hoped that people would like it.
Thereupon, after using the shapeshifting brooch to slightly alter his appearance, Song Shuhang sneaked into the theater together with Su Clan's Sixteen.
After the movie came to an end...
Innumerable people gasped with admiration, and a lot of them planned to watch the movie one more time, or even several more times.
Song Shuhang leaned against the seat, very satisfied in his heart.
Su Clan's Sixteen stroked the hair behind her ear, and said. "It seems everyone liked it."
"Mm-hmm." Song Shuhang agreed. Of course, if comments such as 'Senior Brother Gao Sheng died too quickly, he deserved worse' or 'I really hoped that Senior Brother Gao Sheng would die in a more tragic way' had been removed, the outcome would have been much better.
"Shuhang," Su Clan's Sixteen said in a soft voice, "the movie is over, and in two more days, I will follow Seven and head to the place he prepared for me to transcend the heavenly tribulation. There, I'll try to transcend my tribulation one more time."
"Sixteen, you will definitely transcend your tribulation this time around," Song Shuhang said resolutely. After all, the result of Immortal Master Copper Trigram's divination was usually very accurate!
Su Clan's Sixteen narrowed her eyes into a smile, and said, "Mm-hmm! This time, I made thorough preparations, and there shouldn't be any problem."
"By the time you transcend your tribulation, my term should have started as well... we will meet in the Jiangnan area at the appointed time. Perhaps we will make it in time to catch up for the battle between Senior Northern River and Immortal Master Copper Trigram scheduled at the beginning of the next month," Song Shuhang replied.
His university was about to start... ah~ this eventful summer vacation really made one feel reluctant to part with it!
Su Clan's Sixteen smiled and nodded. "Hmm!"
All the spectators around them left one after another.
Song Shuhang and Su Clan's Sixteen also got up and left the hall, walking side by side.
❄️❄️❄️
At this time, in a movie theater in Wenzhou City.
A young man wearing a short-sleeved shirt and with arms full of tattoos had a content expression on his face. "It was a really good movie. In particular, when I saw those cultivators cutting down the monsters, my blood started boiling!"
After saying this much, the young man took out his mobile phone and started fiddling with it, logging into his chat account.
From the display of the phone, it could be seen that the chat ID of the young man was [Mad Mental Hospital's Director].
In addition, there were several people with strange and crazy names in his friend list.
For example, East China Sea's Scaly Monster, Lake Hua's Crucian Carp Spirit, Northeast Region's Tiger Monster, Changbai Mountain's Flower Monster, Dragon King of the Well, Resentful Soul of the Toilet, and so on.
There were all sorts of monstrous and devilish friends in the list.
This young man was a member of that group of monster hunters that had bravely stepped forward to help Song Shuhang back when he suffered the attack of the stallion spirit and the sea urchin warriors.
Afterward, that group of fearless and stubborn monster hunters decided to charge toward Young Master Phoenix Slayer, who was likewise a 'monster'. As a result, Young Master Phoenix Slayer mercilessly beat them up and threw them into a small boat, letting them run their own course.
From the looks of it, they got out of it safely and managed to survive.
Hmm, now that the movie is over... I'd better head to the Jiangnan area. Evil aura has appeared in that place, and as a monster hunter, I can't sit back and do nothing. Unfortunately, I don't know the origin of the monsters that have appeared in the Jiangnan area this time. I have no way of adding them to my friend list and getting information out of them, the young monster hunter thought to himself.
Afterward, he stretched out his hand and swept over a certain group called: [Group of monsters that has been taken care of already].
An ID that went by the name of 'Valiant Sea Urchin Warrior 8th Year, 59th Class, 32nd Number' had been moved here already.
This 'Valiant Sea Urchin Warrior 8th Year, 59th Class, 32nd Number' was a member of that group of sea urchin warriors that had casually attacked Song Shuhang alongside the stallion spirit. At this time, this specific sea urchin warrior had been already reunited with its ancestors.
The young monster hunter kept fiddling with his phone.
When he thought of the Jiangnan area, he remembered about one of his Internet friends.
He had come to know the other party while they were playing games, and their ID was 'Stressed by a Mountain of Books'. Afterward, the belated chuuni disease of that guy suddenly flared up, and he started changing his ID every day. A different name for each day of the week, it was rather funny.
From what the young monster hunter knew, Stressed by a Mountain of Books had been admitted to the prestigious Jiangnan University.
Such being the case, he could perhaps get in touch with him while heading to the Jiangnan area to kill those demons this time. The two of them had been friends for quite some time, but had never met. Now then, what was the appearance of the opposite party?
"It would be better if the opposite party were a pretty girl... isn't this plot really popular nowadays? People meet online and start chatting, becoming good brothers. Then, when they meet each other, they discover that the opposite party was a pretty girl and fall in love. Wait, no, no. These thoughts are too scary. Stressed by a Mountain of Books sounds like the nickname of a man." [Mad Mental Hospital's Director] shook his head and drove these crazy thoughts out of his head.
Then, he stretched out his hand and pressed on Song Shuhang's ID, sending him a quick message: "Stressed by a Mountain of Books, your university should start in a while, right? Where are you now? Right, in a few days, I might head to the Jiangnan area to have some fun!"
Very soon, Song Shuhang replied: "I'm close to the Yellow Mountain at this moment, and I will head back to my home in Wenzhou City tomorrow to prepare the luggage. Then, I will head to Jiangnan University Town to register. When are you heading to the Jiangnan area? Let's meet! I will try my best to show you around."
The young monster hunter blinked his eyes after reading the reply. Could there really be such a coincidence?
Stressed by a Mountain of Books' home was in Wenzhou City?
Right now, the young monster hunter was also in Wenzhou City!
Thereupon, [Mad Mental Hospital's Director] quickly replied: "What a coincidence, I'm also in Wenzhou City right now, watching ❮Apocalypse War❯ in XXX Theater! I just finished watching it, and it turned out to be a very good movie. Anyway, at what time are you coming back? I will wait for you in Wenzhou, and we can head to the Jiangnan area together, what do you think?"
After all, there were monsters causing trouble in the Jiangnan area at this moment, and this Stressed by a Mountain of Books was just an ordinary man. What to do if he met those monsters while heading there?
The young monster hunter thought that it was his responsibility to protect from harm this Internet friend whom he had gotten close to after playing video games together.


One day, Song Shuhang was suddenly added to a chat group with many seniors that suffered from chuuni disease. The people inside the group would call each other ‘Fellow Daoist’ and had all different kinds of titles: Palace Master, Cave Lord, True Monarch, Immortal Master, etc. Even the pet of the founder of the group that had run away from home was called ‘monster dog’. They would talk all day about pill refining, exploring ancient ruins, or share their experience on techniques.
However, after lurking inside the group for a while, he discovered that not all was what it seemed... 

"Maybe we should watch it." Lin Shao had already encountered the hunter, but it was too strong for a young man like him, who had just reached the warrior stage. Even Liang Shi, a top-tier master warrior, didn't know what to do with the hunters since he couldn't use his warrior qi in the game!
Lin Shao was somewhat exhausted by the high-intensity combat, so he replied, "Plus, we only need to watch during the movie. We can consider it as taking a break."
"Are you really going to watch it?" Song Qingfeng was a little curious as well, but he pretended that he didn't waver since he was a loyal gaming fan. "It's not the same story; what's so good about it?"
"I'm a little tired from playing the game anyways." Lin Shao and the others made little progress in the game. Therefore, they wanted to watch the movie and find out what the difference was.
"It's not the same story?" As soon as Liang Shi and the others heard this, they shook their heads. They were waiting for a continuation of the game. What was so good about something that wasn't even a part of the original game plot?
The movie cost three crystals on its own. Incorporating that to the crystals they had to pay to use the computers, the total number of crystals needed for the movie was high and not worth the money for Liang Shi and his friends.
Although what Xu Zixin said sparked the interest of many, people had different opinions. Xu Zixin might like it, but that didn't mean everyone would as well.
Moreover, everyone present were avid gaming fans of Resident Evil One. As soon as they heard that the main character changed, they lost interest, and most people decided to observe first.
Therefore, only Lin Shao, Xu Luo, Shen Qingqing, and a couple others watched the movie.
"The equipment in here is so high-end!"
"Did they research the T-virus here?"
"This is so inhumane! How can they lock everyone in the lab and just let them become zombies?"
They were shocked to see humans transforming into zombies. If Resident Evil One was a scary game with a new theme, then Resident Evil One: Movie Version was an unimaginable and horrifying calamity!
Everyone they saw in the game were heroes, and there was an amazing happy ending. However, what they saw in the movie was a giant catastrophe!
Everything they were worried about and everything they assumed about the T-virus became reality! One second ago, these people had their own thoughts and feelings. However, in the next second, they had become monsters that were mindless and ravenous!
To some extent, the shock that this movie brought onto its viewers was even more than the game!
However, they noticed that although the humans in this world didn't practice warrior qi, their combat skills were still as amazing as could be!
Aside from knowing their enemies, the main characters were also aware of their surrounding environments. More often than not, victory was determined by the tiny details!
The physical and gun fights left the viewers in a daze, and the intense escape left them deeply absorbed; they didn't want to miss any details!
In the end, when everyone turned into zombies, they were still recovering from the shock.
"How was it?" Song Qingfeng calculated the time and couldn't help but ask, "I told you that it wasn't going to be good, didn't I?"
"It was amazing!" To his surprise, Lin Shao's face lit up. "The contents of the game are just the tip of an iceberg; there is a bigger world in the movie! Just now, I experienced everything the main character experienced!"
"A world that is on the edge of extinction!"
"Biochemical viruses threatened the world!"
"Is it that good?"
"Should we try as well?" Li Xi and Li Ping glanced at each other.
"… Is it really that good?" Song Qingfeng was still unconvinced.
For these rich young people, three crystals weren't a lot, but it wasn't nothing. Spending that amount of money to buy the plot of Resident Evil One was enough to prove how much they liked this series, but not everyone had that much money.
Wang Tai and other players who didn't have that much crystals were still on the fence about watching the movie.
After all, playing the game was good for their cultivation. The movie, on the other hand, was just for fun. Although they were curious, they couldn't spend three crystals just like that.
Dejected, Wang Tai asked, "Qi, can't we watch the movie through someone else's screen, just like how we can watch others play?"
Fang Qi replied helplessly, "I can't do anything about that."
After all, the system was the one who did everything.
Suddenly, a shriek came from beside him. "Zixin! Did you just kill a hunter with a dagger?"
Shen Qingqing was shocked. Not only did Xu Zixin kill a hunter with a dagger, it was the first time that she saw one!
Although the process was difficult, it was still shocking!
"What?"
"Someone killed a hunter with a dagger? Aside from the owner, who else could kill a hunter with a dagger without using their warrior qi?"
Upon hearing this shriek, everyone turned their attention to Xu Zixin's screen.
Although Jill in the screen wasn't in a good condition, the hunter did die in front of her. They could see that aside from knife cuts, there weren't any other injuries on the hunter!
"Is it really Xu Zixin?"
As a veteran player, a lot of people recognized her.
"How can she be so fast?" Song Qingfeng couldn't help but be feel shocked and unwilling. He practiced for so long already but still couldn't kill the hunter with his dagger. No matter how much warrior qi Xu Zixin had, she still couldn't use it in the game!
He used to be the player with the fastest progress, right after Fang Qi!
However, he had been stuck with the hunters and wasted a lot of time, enabling others to catch up to him!
However, he wasn't worried because everyone had to pass the hunters with only daggers. Or else, they would run out of powerful bullets when fighting the Tyrant and wouldn't be able to beat the game.
But now, someone killed a hunter with a dagger, surpassing him?
He couldn't accept this, no matter what!
Shen Qingqing exclaimed, "How did you do that?"
"I think…" Confused, Xu Zixin recalled how she killed this hunter. "I think after I watched the entire movie, the main character's combat skills seemed to have been imprinted in my head… I feel like I can control my character more flexibly and diligently…"
Upon hearing this, they all thought about how their skills improved after playing the Resident Evil One: Virtual Reality Remake.
Did the movie have the same effects?
"This is cheating!" At this thought, Song Qingfeng shouted righteously, "Sir, you're forcing me to watch the movie!"
Fang Qi shrugged. "I'm not; every transaction at my shop is voluntary."
"…" Song Qingfeng's face darkened.
Lin Shao and Xu Luo laughed loudly. "Young Master Song, just give in! The movie is really good!"
"Young Master Song!" Li Xi smiled, "Let's watch the movie together! If you're not happy afterward, we can teach these people a lesson!"
"Fine, fine!" Finally, Song Qingfeng succumbed to peer pressure and took out three crystals, "I'd like to say that I'm watching to improve my skills, and I'm not at all interested in the contents of the movie."
Half an hour later…
"Oh my god, there are so many zombies!"
"Look at her shooting skills! The main character is so cool!"
"What the hell is this? It's even stronger than the hunters?"
"Look how she dodged the bullet; it's so cool!"
"…"
After the movie, Lin Shao and Xu Luo immediately asked him, "Young Master Song, what do you think?"
"Um…" Song Qingfeng's face darkened as he replied, a little embarrassed, "It's not too bad…"
"Really? It's just a little interesting?" Lin Shao and Xu Luo burst into laughter.
"Screw you! I'm going to kill hunters now!" Song Qingfeng looked even more gloomy.
Soon, in the screen, Song Qingfeng held a dagger in his hand. Although there was blood all over his body, a hunter fell dead under his feet!
He had been waiting for this for a long time!
Although he couldn't kill hunters as swiftly as Fang Qi did, one of these powerful monsters was killed by him.
He had to admit that it was a giant improvement!
He was doing even better than Xu Zixin!
"I did it!" Song Qingfeng let out a sigh of relief.
"Watching the main character's battle is really helpful." Song Qingfeng was left speechless. "I feel like I'm a lot stronger when it comes to combat…"
"Really?" Upon seeing that players were starting to kill hunters with daggers one after another, Liang Shi couldn't sit still any longer.
"Sir, I want to watch Resident Evil One: Movie Version as well!" Liang Shi felt like crying; if he kept spending crystals like this, he was going to run out of his savings!
"Me too!" Wang Tai finally couldn't take it anymore and clenched his teeth.
"Me first!" The loyal gaming fans finally began to give in.
"…"
"Oh my god, the quality of this movie is just as good as the game!"
"There's also a lot more background information! I finally know what the biochemical crisis is!"
"Look at this scene! Is it just a novel? How did the author think of this?"
"Although the main character changed, it's still amazing!"
"I almost fell asleep reading the most popular novel, Celestial Warrior, but this… I'm getting more excited the more I watch! This laboratory is much more dangerous than the mansion!"
"Wait, I'm falling for this cool foreign girl! Her movements are so swift and crisp!"
Right now, there were quite a few people in Fang Qi's internet café. He was relieved that he added the new rule about waiting in line. Moreover, everyone was aware of the 6-hour rule and the midnight closing time. Fang Qi was glad that they were all abiding by the rules.
Therefore, although the internet café was busy, the players who were waiting discussed amongst themselves and didn't cause any chaos.
During this time, the internet café became the most packed. However, players who arrived afterward were depressed upon seeing how many people were waiting to play.
That was when Xi Qi and his friends came. After seeing the internet café at full capacity, his expression froze. "It's still full?"
