Zack Florique. 

A normal student at the Lion's Gate University. His life has slowly been going downhill these past few years. Untill one day he had reached the climax, it looked like he had hit rock-bottom.

Eventually he had gotten himself in a life-threatening situation that same day. Just when it looked like he would lose his life, a blue-eyed man appeared before him. The blue-eyed man seemed to possess some terrifying supernatural powers of which the likes of Zack had never seen.

However.... Witnessing these powers, Zack still lost his life the same day by bleeding to death.

Or so he thought...

He found himself waking up the next day, as if nothing had happened.

Strangely enough, since that day –– that only looked like a bad nightmare –– Zack’s life took a weird turn. He was slowly being introduced to a world which normal humans had no knowledge of.

Hoi, and I'm sorry for not uploading a chapter in a while, but now that schools FINALLY OVER, I can put a little more dedication into it. So here's a list of everything I wanna go over, ranging from what I've been up too, what I'm going to be doing, and some exciting new things I have planned for the future [Please read everything, as it's all important(ish...)]

(1) Now that school and finals are over, I can dedicate more time to writing and coming up with new idea's for chapters. However, I will be taking a PE class over the summer. Not because I'm dumb and I need more credits or anything, but because I don't want to take a PE class during the school year. [Summer PE is just a lot of running, swimming, etc... School year PE has the dreaded thing known as dance... Seriously! Why the hell is it something our school requires all the kids to do!!!] This shouldn't get in the way of my writing all that much however due to the summer school class being PE

(2) I'm going to a friends house to play some d&d, so that'll be fun [they nerfed my characters armor class by 2. Why would they do that... Probably because I managed to scrape up a wopping 20 AC at level 1... The fun thing is that I did it legit as well..... Warforged Juggernaut OP.........]

(3) I absolutely WON'T drop this novel. However I will be taking a break from this story once it reaches 50 chapters (not counting the auxiliary...)

(4) I've been to busy reading other peoples novels or watching anime to write chapters... So I'm hoping that my brain can finally be at rest after binging railgun, railgun S, index I, II, and III, and the railgun and accelerator mangas... Also I can see why everyone loves accelerator now [A wild accelerator has appeared, accelerator is now enraged, accelerator used CHUCK A FREAKING SKYSCRAPER... It's super effective...]

(5) After effectively binging the whole magical index universe, along with having already finished binging mob psycho I and II before that. I've gone a little ESPer crazy (Tatsumaki from one punch man doesn't help by the way)... And I'm really excited to tell you guys about the new ESPer related story concept I've come up with for a new novel that I'm planning to write after this novel reaches 50 or more chapters (I'm already creating the characters, physics, and complex details of the world the story will take place in... And once I get all that stuff finished or close to finished, I'll start the story and post all that technical stuff about it in some informative chapters. The real story won't start tell I reach the 50 chapter mark here however

(6) I might make a discord channel dedicated to this story, and the new one I'm planning on making [The new story is actually serving as a good motivator to try and reach 50 chapters on this one...]

[Thank you for being patient for more chapters, please feel free to comment and >>review<<. As it inspires me to keep writing... I highlighted the review part by the way, as I'm sick of just seeing StaticCharacters reviews being the only ones there. And I'd like some ACTUAL feedback]

Bruce is a 16 year old sophomore in highschool who likes anime, manga, light novels, etc... He died in his sleep for an unknown reason after staying up to late reading. Afterwards however, he met god, who decided to reincarnate Bruce into another world. The world he reincarnated into wasn’t like his previous one. As the planet itself was a lot larger, magic exists, and massive monsters of incredible power seem to be around every corner, with Bruce being reincarnated as a dungeon core. A rare existence that creates magical dungeons filled with hordes of powerful monsters. The one question that Bruce has is... (Bruce) “Why was I reincarnated in the middle of the ocean!!!” [Hi, this is my first novel, and I’m only writing it for fun. The chapters will be written and posted whenever I want, so don’t expect a constant flow of chapters. Also, I didn’t think my novel would actually get a lot of views when I first wrote it. So I only had a filler synopsis written here, but I changed that due to the large amounts of reads. So, I hope you like my novel. I try my best to read the comments, and I’d also appreciate it if you’d leave a honest review of the novel. Also, if your curious about the novel or want to recommend any of your ideas to me. I’d recommend you join my discord server. The link to it is in the later chapters, so you’ll have to read a bit of my story before you can join the server. So go right ahead and start reading if the synopsis peaked your interest]

Warning: this chapter contains smut. For those who don't like it can skip the chapter
Li Shi Ying knew it was shameless of her to deny it, but a cute, seductive moan kept flowing out of her tiny little lips, further arousing the man.
"Liar." Long Ao Zhen suddenly sealed Li Shi Ying's lips again as he lifted Li Shi Ying's skirt, revealing her smooth legs up to her thigh.
!!
Li Shi Ying's cheeks flushed red when she realized that Long Ao Zhen had once again captured her lips with his lips. They had kissed before, so she didn't fuss over it too much, but this time it was different.
It was different, since this damn dragon didn't only kiss her passionately, almost making her pee her pants, but also…moved his hand on her legs!
"Mmmhhh!!" Li Shi Ying tried to release her lips from Long Ao Zhen's second kiss, but then the man's hand moved on her thigh, stroking it gently and making her lower half suddenly become wet.
!! Oh Gawd, is this body very sensitive or what?? She felt like she suddenly became a whore now!
Long Ao Zhen lifted Li Shi Ying's skirt up until her waist, revealing all of her lower body from her legs to her secret garden. If she didn't wear undies, she bet her secret garden would be revealed naked without protection.
"I'll make you feel better." Long Ao Zhen released Li Shi Ying's lips as he gently kissed Li Shi Ying's neck, but his hand down there already got to Li Shi Ying's secret garden area.
"W-what are you- no no, stop stop this is already too far- gah!" Li Shi Ying panicked when she felt Long Ao Zhen's finger caressing her thigh, then moved to her secret garden.
She could vaguely feel the man tug her undies and strip them off, completely letting her secret garden come into view.
"Y-you!" Li Shi Ying's heart beat fast, realizing the man already took off her undies. She quickly tried to close her legs, but too late.
"Open it up." The man stared into her eyes again, and using that magnetic deep voice, managed to hypnotize Li Shi Ying once more.
Li Shi Ying found her body suddenly going out of control. It was as if she couldn't refuse Long Ao Zhen's order at all. Slowly but surely, she spread her legs open without her wanting to do so. 
"Ah, no no you, this is…" Seeing how she felt so weak yet her body went against her will, Li Shi Ying felt like dying. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to die.
This damn dragon indeed used a hypnotic on top of paralyzing her!
"You asked for it." Long Ao Zhen's breath quickened as he touched Li Shi Ying's secret garden entrance with his index finger, catching the girl unguarded.
"W-w ah ah no no." Li Shi Ying's body jolted when Long Ao Zhen's finger pressed on her secret garden. It wasn't even in yet, but her lower body already reacted again.
She felt so uncomfortable. Her lower body tightened again as honey fluid slowly leaked, even when the man hasn't put in anything.
Noticing this, Long Ao Zhen chuckled as he slowly slid his long and well defined index finger to Li Shi Ying's secret garden.
"H-haa…un….ahn! N-no take it aw- hyaa!" Li Shi Ying's body jolted when Long Ao Zhen's finger slid into her secret garden. She felt so scared of that something foreign entering her body, and she suddenly had deja vu.
This was clearly the first time someone had touched her secret garden when she herself never touched it before, but how come she got a feeling that the same thing had happened before in the past?
THROB! THROB!
"U-uhhh" Li Shi Ying's head throbbed in pain trying to remember the memory she felt like losing, but then Long Ao Zhen's finger tip scraped against her clit suddenly, making her drown in pleasure.
"Ah noooo!!" Li Shi Ying's breath quickened, and her hips subconsciously moved on its own just by getting touched down there by Long Ao Zhen. She really had the urge to cry for letting out this kind of reaction, but her body was really honest.
Li Shi Ying felt something irritated her, yet it was vexing, an itch and something deep within her stomach began to want something hot and stiff. Her secret garden suddenly clenched as love fluid slowly overflowed from within.
"Ah, you're already this wet. Tell me you want it don't you?" Seeing Li Shi Ying's reaction, Long Ao Zhen released her hand, and pinched her nipple using his left hand as he kept his index finger inside her secret garden, doubling the pleasure she received.
"What no I…huaaa…ah...ahh..aah...hyaa! S-stop stop, I can't I can't…" Long Ao Zhen suddenly rubbed Li Shi Ying's clit strongly, making the girl almost lose her mind.
One after another sweet moan flowed out of her mouth as Li Shi Ying restrained the urge to shout and beg Long Ao Zhen to do more to her.
Oh b*tch, she is a b*tch!! How could she react like this when she's not supposed to-
"I will make you cum." Long Ao Zhen sucked on Li Shi Ying's nipple again as he inserted one more finger onto Li Shi Ying's secret garden. The girl already almost screamed from pleasure when Long Ao Zhen suddenly pinched her clit making her eyes widen.

If you try to be objective, honest, follow a sporting spirit and ... you can't promote your story ... then, with a high degree of probability, nobody has noticed the story.

You can promote passively - only give yourself energy stones ... it promotes the novel, there will be few readers. If the name is interesting, then the first collections will be possible ... if the name is interesting ... and the content is dull and there are many details ... those who signed will leave ... but there will be those who are interested in what will happen next in history? or those who are interested in learning new information for their new novels. With a high degree of probability to the source of the idea, none of the authors cite, this is the modern world.

You can promote aggressively ... through the forum, attract readers' attention with interesting statements, enthrall the reader ... you can simply write a review, I tell you, you tell me. But it gives a one-time effect. They will come, they will write off, as a rule, even by themselves and without reading the novel, they will set a conditional number of stars. To not read too many letters, just look at the review of the previous author and ... repeat it in your own words ...

There are no sports comrades at all ... or gentlemen, well, in general, one way or another ... they just use the "holes" in the system ... they write from their different accounts, the same comments ... set themselves stars from 1 to 5, some immediately put 5 stars. Others in general do not bother themselves with left accounts, write 10 reviews on their own behalf and put 5 stars each time. And everything, your work in an official rating! Progress held!

Is it unsporting to say some ?! But it works! There are still countries in the world with a feudal or neo-feudal economic system ... a solid monopoly on everything from a clan economy ... it is not effectively said by some, but it works! Surprisingly.

There is a system of both promotion and movement. Simply, unfair competition. But such authors, I can not worry, this applies only to those who fly high. Who for 15 chapters of 1 million views. Those just put 1-2 star reviews, do bots ... or a group of fans.

This is business, nothing personal!

If you want to constantly promote your work, communication is not enough. Forum, chat rooms ... there you will promote your work. If it is really worthwhile, not only the content, but also the form of the text, is read easily, as it is understood, fascinating and entertaining. Then the author can try to attract his subscribers of so-called friends from social networks, provided that his subscribers are adequate, as there are a lot of trolls too.

In the world of fake news, methods of promotion are now considered the norm, some unscrupulous scientists promote the citation index of their articles, and there are even techniques on the Internet to improve them.

This is a game ... this is money ... these are ratings ... this is an increase in Internet traffic consumption ... these are opportunities ... this is an advertisement ...

In short, this is how the world works ...

If you don't promote your ideas yourself, and in this case a novel, no one will know about it!

Thoughts of why and why stories are written.

All the same English, he has not improved in 18 days.

I'll figure something out, try to correct the text.

Q: What happened to those awesome funny emojis/kaomojis that used to be in the novel?
Webnovel site doesn't allow newer novels to use non-Latin characters/symbols in their chapters. Novels that do will get blocked from voting, rankings, contests, and search index. Due to this, though greatly, horribly, extremely unwilling, I was forced to remove them >_<
If you want to see support for this in the future, head over to the forums and leave a like and comment on a thread I made regarding this issue named "Flagging/Blacklisting of novels due to usage of emojis/emoticons/kaomoji/symbols"

After Noah's much-awaited Ascension, what greeted him wasn't the Haven he had been promised, but a system calling itself Black, offering him a job working for the World and Soul Management Bureau.

He has to transmigrate into different worlds, using an identity of some unfortunate soon-to-be-dead dude, and live out the remainder of his new life there however he wanted. Oh, and hopefully in the process of living happily ever after, he'd also get to accidentally complete some secret mission they refused to tell him about.

Noah: 'Is this some kind of a scam?'
Black: 'O-of course not! There are absolutely no tricks involved! Absolutely! There isn't even a penalty for failure!'
Noah: 'Oh. Great! Sign me up!' (/*^o^)/*

And so…

Noah: 'What the hell?!? Why is someone trying to kill me?!'
Noah: 'What the f*ck?!? Which bush did this wild pokem...no, terrorist organization pop out from?!?'
Noah: 'Who are you guys?! What are you doing here?!? What the bloody hell is going on?!?' 
Black: 'Why are you looking at me? How would I know?'
Noah: '…!' QAQ

Yet, who would have thought that all that life-threatening stuff would be the least of Noah's worries: 

Noah: 'Blackie! This… this! There is something really off about this good brother of mine! He is looking at me like a hungry wolf seeing a fresh and juicy piece of meat!' QAQ
Black: 'How would you know how a hungry wolf looks like? Have you ever seen one?' -_-
Noah: 'What? No! But…!' (°A°)
Black: 'Exactly. Don't worry, host. He is just a bit excited due to nearly losing his life back there. You know, adrenaline.'
Noah: '…are you sure that's what's really going on here?'
Black: 'Absolutely!' ^_^

…

Noah: 'Blackie! Blackie! He is taking my pants off!! Why is he taking my pants off?!?!' w(°A°w)
Black: '…you need a bath… he… is merely helping you strip…'
Noah: 'I am not a child! I can strip myself!'
Black: 'Then why haven't you started stripping yet? The poor guy had to wait for you so long he became impatient!'
Noah: '…' QAQ

…

Noah: 'Blackie! Blackie! His-his-his little brother is poking me in the ass!!' QAQ
Black: 'What are you making such a big fuss about? It's just morning wood.' -_-
Noah: 'Why am I making such a big fuss?!? He just took it out of his pants!!!'
Black: 'So? How is he supposed to take care of it if he doesn't take it out?'
Noah: 'I don't know, but definitely not by using my thighs!!!' 
 (o_o;)
Black: 'Relax! Bros often help each other out with these things.'
Noah: '…'

…

Noah: 'What do you have to say now?!? It's normal for good bros to want to shove their thing up your ass?!?'
Black: 'Yes… if they are bent… and in love with you… like this one…'
Noah: '…' -_-
Noah: 'Oh god, he is putting it in!!!! Blackie! Help!!!' QAQ
Black: 'Don't panic. Relax and follow my instructions.' 
Noah: 'Ok, ok, speak! Hurry!'
Black:  'You've got this. Breath in, breath out. Relax your muscles…'
Noah: 'How is this helping??'  ( °A°)
Black: 'It'll hurt less that way.'¯
Noah: '…! F*ck you!!! You f****** mo****f***er!! Whose system are you, mine or his?!?'

-- Many, many missions later --
Noah: 'Hehe…this secret mission that you can't tell me about… it can't possibly be to get fucked by the target, can it?' (# ^_^)
Black: '…of-of course not… ha… ha… h-how could that possibly be, eh?'
ML: Right, right, that's just a very (not so) coincidental bonus.

Author Note:
Warning! Expect a lot of explicit, kinky s*x, including bondage play, S and M, toys, doing it with ML's beast form.  

Some scenes might come off as dub-con/non-con, but don't worry reader! They are just an S and M pair. There are no abusive domineering asshole MLs here! Outside of bedroom activities, they are very loving, doting, respectful, and considerate of one another. (/*^o^)/*

The first floor of the dungeon is categorised as one of the hardest floors by regular adventurers. But this opinion is only held by regular civilians.


This is because of the fact that the body of a human is inherently weak. Even if the UHF took some measures by allowing all the civilians to practice the basic body strengthening technique of cultivation sects, there was only slight improvement. 


As compared to the normal public, the disciples of cultivation sects feel very different about the first floor of the dungeon.


Easy!


Walk in a park!


Such is the description of the first floor by most of the cultivators. There maybe some special places on the first floor that could be considered a challenge for the Cultivators but it is only considered a 'challenge' and not a 'threat'.


Raghav himself was feeling the same thing.


His hands behind his hand, with a low humming, Raghav kept on walking with a carefree expression as a light-blue slime kept on following him while creating a *poik* *poik* sound whenever it jumped to move around.


Raghav took out a cell phone from his spatial ring to check his position every now and then. 


After killing the venom ant, he didn't encounter any other monster. This caused him to feel a little depressed as he looked at the monster following him.


The moment he stopped, the Slime behind him stopped too. 


He turned around and hesitated a little.


'Aw, what the hell!! This Slime is even showing the signs of intelligence. If not, why would it still follow the handsome me?'


Raghav thought for a moment before taking out a black box from his spatial ring.


He took out a black ball with silver ruins inscribed on its body. He hesitated again before using a pin to force out a drop of blood from his left thumb. He let the drop of blood fall on the black ball that was the size of a ping-pong ball. The moment his blood fell on the black ball, the silver inscriptions started to turn into a red colour and Raghav could feel the black ball radiating heat.


Slowly, the black ball turned into a liquid that quickly covered his right index finger. Raghav looked at his index finger that was covered with black liquid as red inscriptions kept on flashing on its body. Raghav admired the craftsmanship as he felt the heat still being radiated from the metallic liquid covering his finger.


He slowly used his qi energy to inspire the inscription on the metallic liquid. As his qi came into contact with the liquid, the inscription finally returned to the surface of his finger. Raghav eyed the Slime that was still facing him without making any sound.


"Sigh, little slime, oh little slime. I k ow that you have been attracted to this brother's face. So be an obedient monster and let me leave an imprint on your core."


He slowly moved towards the still slime and sat right in front of it. His finger slowly got near the slime as his finger finally touched its body.


The crimson inscription miraculously moved from his finger and covered the whole body of Slime.


Raghav looked with bated breath as the inscription started to condense and slowly made its way inside the translucent body of the slime.


This was the most critical moment! 


Raghav crossed his fingers and saw the crimson inscription covering the dark-blue core of the slime.


The moment the inscription solidified, it vanished. Raghav instantly felt a wonderful connection between him and the cute slime in front of him.


'Success!'


Raghav laughed in his heart.


To every Cultivator, taming a monster was a very critical process. This was because the most important ingredient of this process is the essence blood of the cultivator.


Essence blood is the purest drops of blood that is collected inside the heart of every cultivator. These drops of blood can be slowly increased by continuous Cultivation. In theory, a Cultivator can have an unlimited supply of Essence Blood but its production requires very expensive herbs.


These conditions were even harsher for mortals as they have 2-3 drops of essence blood when they grow up as compared to 9-10 drops of essence blood when the disciple of the sect is eligible to enter the dungeon. The number of blood essence is even more if the sect disciple has a higher cultivation.


Suddenly, Raghav felt a little dizzy. He quickly took out a vial of light green liquid and quickly downed its content inside his mouth. He immediately felt a refreshing feeling.


The loss of essence blood is detrimental to every being. Even though the lost essence blood can be recovered, a high frequency of usage of essence blood may damage the foundations of the Cultivator's body permanently.


Raghav sat down cross-legged and slowly recuperated from his loss of essence blood. 


But he hadn't even relaxed full yet when he heard the voice of the [system].


[Connection Established. A Pet discovered. Transferring the Pet to the Evolution Site. It is advised that the host should enter the Evolution site.]

[There are three ways to survive in a ruined world. Now, I have forgotten a few, but one thing is certain. The fact that you who are reading this now will survive.

-Three ways to survive in a ruined world]

A web novel platform filled the screen of my old smartphone. I scrolled down and then up again. How many times have I been doing this?

"Really? This is the end?"

I looked again, and the 'complete' was unmistakable. The story was over.

+

[Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World]

Author: tls123

3,149 chapters.

+

'Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World' was a feature-length fantasy novel with 3,149 chapters. Its shortened name was 'Ways of Survival.'

I have been steadily reading this novel since the third year of middle school. I read it during the time when I was bullied by iljins [1], when I ruined my entrance examinations and had to enter a local university, when the damned random draw went wrong and I was placed in the military unit at the forefront, when I repeatedly switched jobs and am now working as a contractor for an affiliate of a large company… Damn, let's stop talking about this. Anyway…

「Author's words: Thank you so much for reading 'Ways of Survival' up to here. I will come back to you with an epilogue!]

"Ah… The epilogue still remains. Then the next chapter is really the last one."

From the end of childhood to adulthood, it had been written over a huge period of 10 years. There was a mixture of despondency that a world was coming to an end along with a sense of satisfaction. I opened the comment box of the last message and rewrote the sentence several times.

-Kim Dokja: Writer, thank you for everything in the meantime. I am looking forward to the epilogue.

They were sincere sentences. Ways of Survival was my life's novel. It wasn't the most popular, but it was the best novel for me. There were many words I wanted to say but I couldn't write them. I was afraid that my careless words would hurt the writer.

-An average of 1.9 hits per chapter.

-An average of 1.08 comments.

This was the average popularity index of 'Ways of Survival.' The number of views for the first chapter was 1,2000, but it fell to 120 for the 10th chapter, and then 12 for the 50th chapter. By the time it was the 100th chapter, it was only 1.

Hits= 1.

I was overwhelmed by the feeling I got when I saw the numerous '1' that appeared next to the list of chapters. In some cases, there was a '2', but it was likely someone pressing the wrong button.

'Thank you.'

The author published a novel with more than 3,000 chapters with just 1 hit per chapter over a period of 10 years. It was truly a story just for me. I pressed on the 'Recommendation Board' and immediately started tapping on the keyboard,

-I am recommending a super fun novel.

The author wrote me a free completed novel, so I should give him a recommendation. I clicked on the completed button, and comments quickly appeared.

-It looks like a new anti. I searched for this person's ID, and they recommended the same novel several times.

-Isn't his recommendation banned? The author shouldn't do this here.

It occurred to me that I had written a recommendation several months ago. In an instant, there were dozens of comments asking for investigation by 'spectators'. My face flushed with embarrassment. I was sure that the author would read this. I hurriedly tried to delete the message, but it was already reported that the message couldn't be removed.

"This…"

It was upsetting to think that the recommendation written with all my sincerity turned out like this. If they even looked a little bit, why didn't anyone try reading the interesting novel? I wanted to give a donation to the writer, but I couldn't afford it because I was a salary worker barely able to make a living. Then I received a notification that a 'message has arrived.'

-tls123: Thank you.

A message flew in from out of nowhere. It took me a while to grasp the situation.

-Kim Dokja: The author?

tls123—it was the author of 'Ways of Survival.'

-tls123: I was able to complete it to the end thanks to you. I also won the competition.

I couldn't believe it. Ways of Survival won a competition?

-Kim Dokja: Congratulations! What is the competition?

tls123: You won't know it because it is an unknown competition.

I wondered if he lied because he was ashamed, but I wanted it to be true. Perhaps I really didn't know. It might be a bit hit on other platforms. I was a little sad, but it was good to have an excellent story spreading.

-tls123: I would like to send a special gift to you as a thank you.

-Kim Dokja: Gift?

-tls123: It is thanks to my dear reader that this story has come into the world.

I gave the writer my email address as he asked.

-tls123: Ah, right. I got the monetization schedule.

-Kim Dokja: Wow, really? When will it start? This masterpiece should've been paid from the beginning…

It was a lie. The Ways of Survival was a daily series, so I would've had to spend 3,000 won a month. 3,000 won was one convenience-store lunch for me.

-tls123: The monetization starts tomorrow.

-Kim Dokja: Then the epilogue coming tomorrow will be paid?

-tls123: Yes, I'm afraid you need to pay for it.

-Kim Dokja: Of course, I have to pay! I will buy the last one!

There was no reply from the author afterward. I logged out of the site. Then I felt the pessimism sink in later. The author left without a reply after he succeeded…? My admiration turned into petty jealousy. What was I so excited for? In any case, it wasn't my novel.

"Will he give a cultural gift certificate? It would be good if it's for 50,000 won."

At that time, I was thinking naively. I didn't know anything about what would happen to the world the next day.

Now, it is used more frequently to refer to a school's "bad" kids — the ones that are constantly disrupting class, getting in trouble, ditching school, smoking, drinking, etc. Source.

Old Time Tea heard that Pi was not going to Germany with everyone, but would stay in the shop to update its novel.
"Pi, are you staying in the shop? Our trip to Germany is long, and you'll be alone in the shop…" Old Time Tea asked in surprise.
Zhang Zian also wanted to say that the Germany trip would last at least one week—or even two—including the time on the road. During this time, Pi would be fine during the day, as Wang Qian, Li Kun, and Lu Yiyun were there downstairs to run the business and do the daily cleaning. At night, however, after they had finished their shifts and returned home, the only intelligent creature in the shop was Pi itself. The regular cats and dogs were its only companions in the empty shop. 　　 
Pi had reasons to insist on staying. Zhang Zian had not read many online novels, but he knew that one of the characteristics of online writing was the need to update on a daily basis. It was fine to take breaks occasionally, but one or two weeks off was not an option, especially for a new author. The reader might think that the author had given up writing and would give up out of disappointment on reading the book. It would be a total disaster to the popularity of the book.　　 
It was unrealistic to carry a laptop on the trip. People could open up their laptops and type anytime, regardless of waiting for the bus, on the flight, on the dinner table, or while drinking tea, but Pi had to pay attention to other people and could not do the same thing. It could make itself invisible, but not the laptop, nor its book.　　 
Pi didn't need food, which was an advantage. Zhang Zian didn't need to worry that it might get hungry, except that leaving it alone was not completely reassuring. Plus, it might feel lonely if it was left alone in the shop.　　 
"Eek." Pi nodded calmly, then shook its hands and grinned, telling everyone not to worry. It then circled its index fingers and thumbs of both hands to make a QQ shape, meaning that it would not feel lonely with the readers from the Book Friend Group with it.　　 
After seeing that it was determined, Zhang Zian stopped insisting that it follow him.　　 
In fact, after careful thinking, it was fine to leave Pi in the shop. Its life was extremely simple. It started typing after it woke up every day and took breaks when it was tired from typing, then resumed its typing again. In its free time, it read the online novels written by other authors as entertainment. At night, after it had finished writing, it jumped into the basket hammock to sleep. It didn't even need to go downstairs, so there was no danger.　　 
Communication channels were so well developed that Zhang Zian could check on Pi any time through the internet, urge it to not sit there for too long, and to take breaks at the appropriate intervals. There should not be any problems.　　
"Fine. Pi, stay here then," he agreed. "A few days will pass by quickly, and we'll be back very soon. Don't go downstairs in the daytime, and do not let other people see you."　
He didn't need to remind it of anything else. Pi had always been a good, obedient kid, unlike Richard, who was a trouble-maker all the time.　　 
"Eek!" Pi nodded continuously to tell him that there would be no problems. It didn't go downstairs during the day, anyway. 　　 
After dealing with Pi's issue, Zhang Zian turned to Galaxy. "Galaxy, are you going to Germany with everyone?"　　 
Galaxy was playing hide-and-seek with Wendy and was busy running and jumping around.　　 
"Meow." It stopped, stared at Zhang Zian with its blinking, big gray eyes, then looked at Pi and asked, "Germany… is it a populous place?"　　 
Zhang Zian laughed. "Compared to China, nowhere else is populous… except India, maybe. In the foreseeable future, though, I don't have plans to bring you to India."　　 
"Quack! Even I cannot understand the curry flavored English!" Richard was unwilling to be left alone and interrupted the conversation.　　 
Zhang Zian said, "Be careful. Maybe the Indians will pluck all your feathers, then turn you into chicken curry stew while singing and dancing." 　　 
"Meow. Can we play hide-and-seek over there?" Galaxy asked expectantly.　　 
"Yes. After the film festival is over, we can travel there for a few days before heading back. You'll surely have a lot of fun…" As soon as Zhang Zian spoke these words, he suddenly realized that Pi would be staying home and waiting for their return. He didn't know what to do.　　
"Eek." Pi waved its hands, meaning that he didn't need to worry about it. It waved again to say that they could fully enjoy themselves before coming back.　　 
"Meow. Isn't Pi going?" Galaxy blinked its big eyes and stared at Pi. The silver-gray light twinkled in its eyes.　　 
"Eek." Pi shook its head.　　 
Zhang Zian didn't think too much and explained the situation to Galaxy on its behalf.　
"Meow. Galaxy is following then, to play hide-and-seek in Germany!" Galaxy exclaimed with excitement.　　 
"Okay. The meeting is adjourned. You guys are dismissed. I'll do some packing. I have to pack early, just in case I forget anything." Zhang Zian looked at the time, then gave the order of dismissal.　　 
He went upstairs and took out a luggage bag from the storage room, which he used earlier on the USA trip. He stuffed some clothing inside, along with other things that he might need.　　 
The so-called dismissal meant continuing to sleep, play, and horse around with the elfins. Pi might be the only one with serious business.　　 
It jumped onto the swivel chair, sat straight in front of the desk, then put on its pince-nez and browsed the content in a Word document that it was writing earlier before going downstairs. It was trying to pick up where it had left earlier.　　 
The QQ icon at the bottom right screen was blinking—somebody was looking for it, but it didn't click on it to check the message. Zhang Zian would help deal with those later.　
Regarding the Germany trip of Zhang Zian and others, despite that Pi acted as if it didn't care, there was some pity and reluctance in its heart. It wanted to follow everybody, just like the last time they went for fireworks together, but it could not. Now was the first month that its novel went Premium. This was a crucial period, and a long-term interruption of updates would undo all the hard work in the past. It didn't want to disappoint the readers who had been supporting it all along. 
It was fine. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future.　　 
In fact, it was also an Otaku at heart.　　 
Pi quieted its mind and picked up the interrupted train of thought; it had already planned what to write next. It then placed two index fingers on F and J, naturally resuming the correct typing position that Zhang Zian had taught it. It no longer needed to work on resuming the position anymore, for this had become its instinct.　　 
"Meow." Pi was about to press the key when it heard Galaxy meowing behind it.　　 
It looked back. For however long, Galaxy was sitting around 1.5 meters behind Pi, gazing at it while blinking its silver-gray eyes. The light in its eyes was as dazzling as the galaxy.　　 
"Eek?" Pi made a questioning gesture, then pointed at the computer screen to indicate that it needed to work and had no time for play-and-seek. 　　 
Galaxy didn't look like it was inviting it to play hide-and-seek, though. It spoke seriously, "Meow. Pi, when you are home alone, do not go downstairs!"　　 
Pi paused, then nodded and pointed at the storage room, meaning that Zhang Zian had already reminded it earlier.　　 
"Meow. Do not go downstairs at any time, either during the day or at night!" After saying this, Galaxy swung its tail and left, leaving Pi confused.
