In face of my enemies I will learn how to kill

because I am ready to devour everything to survive

Free Empire Online was a game created by God to test 100 humans for the upcoming changes on Earth.

Transported to a world of swords and magic where a year is equivalent to a minute in earth, Jake struggled to live and at the last mission (mission 10) he was the only one who survived.

join Jake in his return to Earth as the only human who survived the test from God.

"So where is he?" Why is he being all concerned about Matt all of a sudden, why was he even asking me about him, why was he even talking to me?

"Shouldn't you be with Tess or something, you don't want to become an outcast just because you're caught talking to me right?" my mouth blurted before my brain could catch up, that was the most I've ever said to anyone. 

"Of course that'll never happen, almost everyone has left school already, I was waiting for Tess to be done in the library so I decided to pick on you," 

"Oh really?"

"Yeah."

"So why don't you go screw your Tess then, I'm off," I snapped and marched towards my bike. I jumped when he appeared beside me again.

"I actually came to you because I need your help," I stopped abruptly.

"Mark Stoner, most popular kid in Eastwood high suddenly needs the school outcast's help?" I blinked hard, this had to be a dream.

"I'm not a kid okay? And don't feel too big I asked for your help," wait was he serious? Did he really need my help or he was just messing with me all over again?, I decided on the latter and hopped onto my scooter.

"Wait, you're not leaving me here, you have to help me," I stared at his frantic expression, he really needed my help, but why me? I mean, he barely even notices my existence or maybe it was because I was the only one left in the whole school?

"Fine, It has to be really important to have you risk your popularity and talk to me in public," he nodded indifferently and I suddenly noticed I wasn't tongue tied anymore, in fact I was actually having a civil conversation with a normal person without one-worded replies or stutters and that too my crush….woah, is that supposed to be a good or a bad thing?

"Tess has been in the library since lunch hour," He started, snapping me out of my daze.

Okay….

"I haven't laid my eyes on her since then," Why was he telling me that, did I seem like a cop or security guard to him?

"Okaaaaaay…." I prompted when he paused for more than a minute with an expression that I couldn't decipher.

"So I want you to check out the reason she's still in there," really, like that was the help he went through the trouble of talking to a mute aka me for?

"And why can't you do that yourself?" Security got the better of me, I just had to ask.

"Well that's none of your business, just go and check the library out already," he snapped and I raised a brow, does he think he can order me around so easily?, I don't think so.

"That's no way to ask a favour politely, if you don't mind, I'd like to be on my way," I secured on my helmet and turned on ignition to my scooter. I was about to zoom away but he grabbed my hand, like our skins came in contact, I experienced this giddiness that I've never felt before.

"I can't be seen anywhere close to the library, the populars are not supposed to….you know read books or even worse go to the library, it'll be an instant ticket to outcast land," oh, really? Why were they attending school if they weren't going to learn then? And why was I pondering over it like it was any of my business?

"But you're their boss, you make the rules so you can as well break them, I'm really sorry but I can't help, if Tess is important as you make her out to be, then you wouldn't care about your very weird rules, see you in school tomorrow Stoner." Okay, that officially takes the medal for the most words I've said in a sentence, and it felt good, really good.

I zoomed away before the egoistic loverboy had the chance to recover from it's shock.

 I stopped over at a proper library to borrow actual books for a change, I've been reading a lot of ebooks with my free time which was like every hour apart from school and my part time job at a diner three blocks away from 'home', sorry you're just getting to know that I have a job, I kind of rushed the introduction earlier. 

 So I'm officially informing you that I have a waitress job at a family owned diner, I work there all the days of the week excluding Mondays and Thursdays so today was my off, that was why I borrowed books earlier on why way home, with hopes it was going to be good books. 

 After getting to an empty house and warming up a proper meal for lunch-slash-dinner, I washed up the day's stress and unusual happenings and settled down to take a look at my PC. I didn't have a phone, as far as I was concerned I needed a phone for absolutely nothing. Parents and work can call the house line if they needed to get in touch which was next to never and I didn't have friends, not in real life, not online either, I didn't even have a Facebook account, pretty over the top but I'm contented with online reading apps that are strictly for reading and nothing else.

 After reading through updates of my favorite ongoing novels with 'awww's and 'ewww's, I settled down with one of the paperbacks I borrowed from the library, it was an ancient version of Charles Dickens' Olivier Twist. After a while, I slept off with my head on my desk, face buried in the book and earphones plugged in my ears.


 

All is not what it seems," I whispered with my fingers crossed and everything changed, literally everything....

Have you ever wondered if there is a world of imaginations and imaginary friends and characters?, well here's a spoiler; there is and it's up to Joanna Coopers to get sucked into it so she can rescue her friends/enemies and by rescue, it means living through and maybe changing details of a number of novels to unravel a very unusual mystery.
But that might seem farfetched as Joanna is a timid,shy,highschool loner that barely talks and does nothing but read books, is that going to be a blessing or a curse?, would she be able to handle the seat of leadership being dumped on her by fate?, would her long time crush finally notice the beauty and strength she has under the nerdy facade?
Find out in this adventurous story of abnormalities where nothing is what it seems.
Notice: A few books highlighted in this work has nothing to do with me, they're solely works of authors I love and adore, a link to their work(s) would be indicated in the author's note.

Dalawamput limang taon na ang lumipas ng matapos ang Ikatlong Digmaang Pandaigdig, United Nations laban sa pinag samang puwersa ng Communist at Soviet Union. Dahil sa digmaang iyon ang mundo ay nahati sa dalawang panig. Ang United Nations kaanib ang may isang daan at labing limang bansa na pinangungunahan ng America at ang Soviet Union na may kaanib na pitongput-walo na bansa, pinangungunahan naman ng Russia.

May mga bansang nawala sa mapa, maraming namatay at na ulila, nawalan ng tirahan, at nagutom ang maraming tao, kahit isang taon lang ito nagtagal. Matapos ang digmaan, napag-isipan ng mga nagkakaisang bansa o mas kilala sa tawag na UNITED NATIONS (UN) na gawing open country ang mga bansa na kabilang dito upang magtulungan at mabilis na maibangon, mapaunlad ang kani-kanilang bansa. Hindi naman sila binigo ng bagong sistema, dahil sa loob lamang ng limang taon ang bakas ng world war III ay makikita na lamang sa pictures and history ebooks sa library or museo.

Nang sinimulan ang open immigration sa lahat ng bansa na kaanib ng UN, ang mga tao ay malaya ng nakakapagbakasyon, nakapag-aaral at manirahan sa gusto nilang bansa ng walang kahirap-hirap. English is still the Universal Language na ginagamit sa mga paaralan at in form of communication pero hindi pa rin nawawala ang local language sa mga native citizens o mas kilala sa tawag na pureblood, uso na kasi ang halong lahi o highbreed nang maging open ang mga bansa.

Wala kanang makikitang pera ngayon lahat ay thru card at ang currency ay UN Dollar. Sa panahong din ito bagamat hindi nawawala ang mayaman at mahirap ang buhay ay pinagaan na. Ang lahat ng bata ay nakakapag aral ng libre mula pre-school hanggang kolehiyo. Sa edad na 18 obligado ka ng magtrabaho sa ayaw man nila or gusto. Walang ka ng makikitang pulubi or homeless sa kalsada. Kung wala kang sariling sasakyan ang mga city bus ay libreng masasakyan sa bawat terminals.

Ang internet ay kasing halaga na lang ng hangin sa panahon ngayon, halos lahat ng bagay na ginagamitan ng teknolohiya ay nangangailangan na ng internet kaya ito ay libreng magagamit saan ka man naroroon. Para ma preserve ang natitirang mga puno, ang newspaper, books, magazines at lahat ng klase ng papel ay matagal ng pinag bawal, pinalitan ito ng mga gadget tulad ng e-notes, tab, cellphone and the must have na DOLL, ito ay isang voice command android doll kung saan pwede mong makausap at magtanong ng mga bagay-bagay.

Tulad nang mabilis na pag-unlad ng teknolohiya. Ang larong ONLINE game ay mabilis din nagbago. Mula sa unang labas nito na ginagamitan ng desktop at keyboard, hanggang sa virtual reality 2D to 10D gamit ang headset at gaming remote.

Dahil laging in-demand ang Online Game sa mga tao, ang mga kilala sa larangan ng computer graphics industry, software advertising, programming, engineering, and video game development ay walang tigil na hinahasa at pinapaganda ang mga bagong labas na laro. At sa taon na ito, 25 years of continues researched at sa tulong ng mga batikang syentipiko sa lahat ng panig patungkol sa sensya pinapakilala sa mundo ang DREAM GAME CAPSULE, ang device kung saan ang iyong consciousness ay ipinupunta sa mundo ng laro at ang kauna-unahang reality based game na naka kuha 100% compatibility rate sa nasabing device, ang UTOPIA online.

Were Chinese card games fun?
The ansswer differed from person to person, as everyone had different tastes.
Many said that card games were crude, monotonous, and repetitive, all of which are true.
But... they were quite profitable!
Being profitable meant the players approved of it.
Why did players approve of it? Because they thought it was fun!
This was a very weird phenomena, as players complained while forking money out of their pockets.
Why were card games so profitable? Which part of the game made it fun?
This was an open-ended question. If Chen Mo were to write a thesis on the core of card games, it would probably be tens of thousands of words long.
In simpler words, the pleasure of playing card games came from three distinct areas.
First was the collecting and level-up cards. This was built on the players' recognition of the character cards.
There was a certain company who made a One Piece-themed I Am MT bootleg. A certain rich person spent a few thousand RMB without question just to draw a Hawk-Eyes card!
There was another nameless Three Kingdoms card game that was still in beta, and another certain rich person added five thousand RMB into his account in anger just so he could draw Zuge Liang. It turned out the game didn't even have Zuge Liang yet!
The company ended up working overtime to add Zuge Liang into the game!
Similarly in I Am MT, many players would be grinding dungeons daily, collecting purple card shards, or spending heaps of money "Drawing Ten", all just to get the cards they wanted!
The video game designer would balance the cards' abilities to match the scenes in the series (or according to the popularity of the character), all just to train the players to recognize the character cards.
With the recognition of players, the cards would become more valuable, which in turn incentivized the players to spend money.
Once the value of a card had been established, it would be differentiated from the other cards. The desire of the players to collect and level up cards would also be satisfied, and they would feel that the money was well spent.
Therefore the key in making a card game profitable was to establish a value system that was recognized by the players. This made it possible to constantly sell the players new cards, just like they were collecting stamps.
After a player got the card they wanted, in order to make it stronger, they would continue to level it up, or improve its abilities. Everytime the card was leveled, it let the players feel like they were growing, which would make it feel like money well spent.
This was also part of the aforementioned "numerical stimulus".
This was the most important source of joy for card games. This was a very mature, and very repeated model, which is why the mobile card game market was so saturated.
The second core attraction was figuring out the lineups and crafting your own strategies.
The combat system of card games might seem monotonous, but it was actually quite rich. In I Am MT, each card had three attacks: a normal attack, a special attack, and passive attacks. The character creation system was based on the combat system of World of Warcraft, with different characters having different abilities.
There would be several types of AoE spells, such as blizzard types (attacked the whole screen), whirlwind types (three cells in the row in front) and piercing attacks (two cells in front).
There was also physical and magical damage, as well as single and multi-targeted spells.
Healing had the same idea, with single and multi-targeted healing.
Other than that, there was also damage reduction, resurrection, damage over time, and many other combat abilities. If you could think of it, there was some way to integrate that into the card game combat system.
This was all in addition to card positioning, order, effectiveness, and weaknesses, party leader abilities, and other complicated mechanics, which greatly increased the playability of the card game combat system.
Of course, this combat system was no match for a standalone game, but it was more than enough for mobile gamers!
This combat system could be displayed all over the world again, just by reskinning the combat system for animes like One Piece or Naruto, or Wuxia Novels.
These combat systems had a cyclic balancing system. For example, single target healing beat burst damage, burst damage beats group healing, group healing beats AoE damage, etc. It would take the players a large amount of time testing and sharing their experiences with others to be able to find the best group of five cards among dozens of cards.
The rare cards were under strict control, requiring the player to spend time or money. Testing out each and every card in combat was a huge investment!
This process would also be fun and fulfilling to the player. Therefore if the combat system and card growth system in a card game were a perfect match for one another, it would result in a combat system that never grew old, allowing the players to play it for years and years without getting bored.
The third feature was marketing strategy and numerical stimulus.
These all covered a broad area, such as operational activities (seven-day logins, check-ins, growth bonuses), daily bonuses (free diamonds, free combat bonuses, online rewards, etc.), early bonuses, etc...
Of course, these weren't just for card games, but were standards for every Chinese mobile game. It was also popular among other genres, such as strategy games or FPS games.
However, the absolute first source of it had to be early browser games, popularized by mobile card games, which finally spread to all Chinese mobile games.
Of course, this "Ivan Pavlov"[1] style of numerical stimulus have been greatly criticized by many gamers. In the end, it was only criticism, and there wasn't a single mobile gaming company who didn't dare not do the same.
Why? Because it was simple, yet effective. Once it was removed, the statistics for the game and its profits would drop.
This was the effect of "numerical simulation"!
First, the game must be free, attracting as many players into the game as possible. Some of these players may not plan to spend money, but that didn't matter.
After the start, there would be a very detailed tutorial, allowing the players to experience what the game had to offer as soon as possible. At the same time, the game would be extremely easy and allow the player to steamroll through it.
This was the same theory behind ebooks: providing the first sections for free, experience it first, pay later. If the user wasn't happy, no payments would be received.
However, this could not be maintained for a long time, probably three days to a week, and the player had to experience some difficulties after that.
In games like these, paying players and free players were naturally on different levels. In order to make the players spend money, barriers had to be introduced.
The aforementioned barriers would be introducing them to difficulties and guiding them to spending money to make themselves stronger, and then moving forward on harder levels.
This would result in another problem: if a player didn't want to spend money and they were met with a barrier, what would happen? They would probably give up on the game!
How do you keep these players? Simple, just give them help!

TL Note: [1] Ivan Pavlov is a psychologist known for his work in classical conditioning


Chen Mo liked calling himself a video game designer, despite being a mere video game producer.
After dying one day from work-related stress, he transmigrated into a parallel world as himself, right after he graduated. He was now in the body of his younger self, who also aspired to be a video game designer. 
Will he be able to fulfill his dream after being reborn in this oddly different new world, and become the best video game designer in that world?
Follow Chen Mo on his romp through video game classics as he brings the great games of the past to a whole new world in pursuit of his dreams!

Three days went by and not a single day of those three days went by with out the five not visiting Naeun in hospital.  Haena would be giving updates on school , Chenle and Yangyang simply making her laugh and.... Jaemin and Jeno having to stay..... outside.... due to certain restrictions set by Haena. How ever luckily, Naeun was discharged after three days.   

After getting home and having dinner, and VERY STRICTLY sending Naeun (well more of forcing) to bed, she got out her phone and deciced to update her fic. She turned off the lights and turned on the trendy purple led lights to get into writer mood.

Too far

The day became gloomier and gloomier for Hana, knowing that her bestfriend had to stay in the hospital for a while. The seat next to her, empty, with out the  annoying laughing sounds from her bestfriend.  She never thought she'd miss her friend this much. The last minute before the school bell rang, Hana started a count down in her head.

'10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2,1' with that she slang her backpack and dashed out of the class room running towards the gate as soon as the bell rang.

"Aye, Hana! Stop for a second" she heard that irritating voice she hated to hear. And she did NOT want to hear it specially at this moment when she wanted to slap him across the face for what he did to her friend which resulted in her friend ending up in the hospital. 

"Wait up!"  Najae said running in with his friend. 

"I heard that Nara was taken to the hospital yesterday.... what happened????" 

Hana's blood boiled in anger and looked at the clueless boy with anger.

"Is it a joke to you?" She seethed, her arms trembling from anger.

"I'm sorry-"

"YOU KNOW DARN WELL WHAT YOU SAID TO HER YESTERDAY GOT TO HER PERSONALLY AND YET YOU HAVE THE  AUDACITY TO COME TO ME WITH YOUR SO CALLED FRIEND TO ASK IF MY FRIEND WHO IS SUFFERING BECAUSE OF YOUR HIGH HORSES AND IGNORANCE IS DOING WELL???? DOES HER LIFE SEEM LIKE A JOKE TO THE BOTH OF YOU? IF SO I REALLY DON'T GET WHAT'S FUNNY OR WHERE THE HUMOR IS AT!"

"Look everybody has it hard at one time-"

"YES BUT IF IT WASN'T FOR YOUR IGNORANCE, SHE WOULDN'T BE IN THE HOSPITAL BED RIGHT NOW, you know what, I'm just honestly wasting my words speaking to a foot ball brain like you, now if you'd excuse me, I have to catch the bus to see my friend! And Najae, you took things way too far this time"

  With that out burst, she left leaving the boys there, staring as the girl's figure disappeared into the evening view.

"What did I ever do for her to hate me so much?" He questioned himself. He never wanted to be hated by her, in fact he wanted the exact opposite....

Haena published the chapter and decided to read another story while she was in bed. However, within minutes of uploading her story, she got a notification from wattpad.

Nana_bunny813: Nighty night😘

Haena's heart was beating at the pace of a race car. The boy was such a cheesecake. However, her suspension, never faded.... countless what if  questions were swimming in her head.

Meanwhile at the boy's dorm, Jaemin kept smiling looking back and forth at their texts.

"Yah someone seems oddly happy" a boy spoke. 

Jaemin then looked up to respond to the voice that belonged to his hyung Mark only to see all eyes on him. He looked at them the way he would look at an Alien - in pure shock.

" W- what do you-"

"Spill the tea" Yang yang spoke urging Jaemin.

" Ah ... no it's just an online author, I really like her stories and she has a cute personality.... however, the strange thing is that, it matches exactly with the events that happen to me on a daily basis with a little bit of a twist..."

"Is it a hopeless romance like Jeno's, if so two words... GIVE UP!" Renjun said while looking at an article.

"What do you mean hopeless romance YAH I'M NOT HOPELESS!!!"  the poor boy hollered.

"Suuuuuuuure maybe that's why you asked me to take a selfie of you me and her instead of just talking to her yourself, not to mention you gave me your phone to take it" a boy by the name Shotaro teased.

" WAIT REALLY??????" The youngest Jisung questioned in shock.

"Ahhh Jeno hyung really is hopeless, you only wanted her to come for so called morning training so you could just spend time with her, the whole TEAM KNOWS  IT!!!!" Chenle shouted.

"True that Jeno, you need to keep it low..." Yang yang said concerned. 

" WAIT WAIT WAIT... WERE YOU ACTUALLY SERIOUS ABOUT IT? I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A SWING THAT'S WHY I PUSHED HER BUTTONS TO SEND HER TO YOU- YAH WERE YOU SERIOUS ALL THIS TIME?!?!?!?!" Jaemin shouted knowing this was the only moment he could use inorder to manipulate the other's to focus on Jeno.

" ah, serious or not Haena couldn't stop scolding you for the whole three days every  time I texted to see how she was doing!" Sungchan exclaimed.

"Waiiiiiiiiit hold on a second you text Haena??? How did you two even get to know each other?" Jaemin questioned. 

" Oh that's a very looooooooooong story we started off as online friends" Sungchan said monotonously. 

" Ohhhhh, so Our Channie has long stories too eh?" Jeno said teasingly. 

"Ah, it can't be as long as your love novel" Renjun sassed.

"OH STOP IT I DON'T LIKE HER THAT WAY!!!! SHE'S JUST A JUNIOR Y'ALL!!!!"

"Deny deny equals accept though hyung, you said it once" Jisung replied beaming.

" Who taught you that!!!" Jeno was furious at the tease he was getting.

" Whatever helps you sleep tonight buddy" Jaemin said with a smug smirk.

"Well then I don't have competition" Donghyuk smirked wanting to get on Jeno's nerves. 

"Uh oh" Mark muttered clearly feeling the tension.

"YAH WHAT DID YOU SAY?" The rest of the night went on for the boys by teasing Jeno, constantly having to stop him from trying to murder Donghyuk. 

However for Jaemin, a million and one questions were floating inside his head. Who could the author actually be?... Sungchan said that Haena and him were online friends..... and Sungchan reads Ebooks too....

An Idea popped into his head and he knew the only person that could answer his questions and he was gonna use his social experiments and see whether the puzzle pieces fit..... The onlybone that could help him is .... Sungchan.....

                              





Three days went by and not a single day of those three days went by with out the five not visiting Naeun in hospital. Naya would be giving updates on school , Chen and Yun simply making her laugh and.... Noah and Jame having to stay..... outside.... due to certain restrictions set by Haena. How ever luckily, Naeun was discharged after three days. 

After getting home and having dinner, and VERY STRICTLY sending Naeun (well more of forcing) to bed, she got out her phone and deciced to update her fic. She turned off the lights and turned on the trendy purple led lights to get into writer mood.

"Aye, Hana! Stop for a second" she heard that irritating voice she hated to hear. And she did NOT want to hear it specially at this moment when she wanted to slap him across the face for what he did to her friend which resulted in her friend ending up in the hospital. 

"Wait up!" Najae said running in with his friend. 

"I heard that Nara was taken to the hospital yesterday.... what happened????" Hana's blood boiled in anger and looked at the clueless boy with anger. 

"Is it a joke to you?" She seethed, her arms trembling from anger. 

 "I'm sorry-" 

 "YOU KNOW DARN WELL WHAT YOU SAID TO HER YESTERDAY GOT TO HER PERSONALLY AND YET YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO COME TO ME WITH YOUR SO CALLED FRIEND TO ASK IF MY FRIEND WHO IS SUFFERING BECAUSE OF YOUR HIGH HORSES AND IGNORANCE IS DOING WELL???? DOES HER LIFE SEEM LIKE A JOKE TO THE BOTH OF YOU? IF SO I REALLY DON'T GET WHAT'S FUNNY OR WHERE THE HUMOR IS AT!" 

"Look everybody has it hard at one time-" 

 "YES BUT IF IT WASN'T FOR YOUR IGNORANCE, SHE WOULDN'T BE IN THE HOSPITAL BED RIGHT NOW, you know what, I'm just honestly wasting my words speaking to a foot ball brain like you, now if you'd excuse me, I have to catch the bus to see my friend! And Najae, you took things way too far this time" With that out burst, she left leaving the boys there, staring as the girl's figure disappeared into the evening view. 

 "What did I ever do for her to hate me so much?" He questioned himself. 

 He never wanted to be hated by her, in fact he wanted the exact opposite.... Naya published the chapter and decided to read another story while she was in bed. However, within minutes of uploading her story, she got a notification from the readers website.

Nana_bunny813: Nighty night 

Naya's heart was beating at the pace of a race car. The boy was such a cheesecake. However, her suspension, never faded.... countless what if questions were swimming in her head. Meanwhile at the boy's dorm, Naya kept smiling looking back and forth at their texts. 

 "Yah someone seems oddly happy" a boy spoke. 

Noah then looked up to respond to the voice that belonged to his older brother like figure Mark only to see all eyes on him. He looked at them the way he would look at an Alien - in pure shock. 

" W- what do you-" "Spill the tea" Yun spoke urging Noah. 

 " Ah ... no it's just an online author, I really like her stories and she has a cute personality.... however, the strange thing is that, it matches exactly with the events that happen to me on a daily basis with a little bit of a twist..." 

"Is it a hopeless romance like Jame's, if so two words... GIVE UP!" Ray said while looking at an article. 

 "What do you mean hopeless romance YAH I'M NOT HOPELESS!!!" the poor boy hollered. 

"Suuuuuuuure maybe that's why you asked me to take a selfie of you me and her instead of just talking to her yourself, not to mention you gave me your phone to take it" a boy by the name Shawn teased. 

" WAIT REALLY??????" The youngest Jerry questioned in shock. 

"Ahhh Jame bro really is hopeless, you only wanted her to come for so called morning training so you could just spend time with her, the whole TEAM KNOWS IT!!!!" Chen shouted. 

"True that Jame, you need to keep it low..." Yun said concerned. 

" WAIT WAIT WAIT... WERE YOU ACTUALLY SERIOUS ABOUT IT? I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A SWING THAT'S WHY I PUSHED HER BUTTONS TO SEND HER TO YOU- YAH WERE YOU SERIOUS ALL THIS TIME?!?!?!?!" Noah shouted knowing this was the only moment he could use inorder to manipulate the other's to focus on Jame. 

" Ah, serious or not Naya couldn't stop scolding you for the whole three days every time I texted to see how she was doing!" Steve exclaimed. 

"Waiiiiiiiiit hold on a second you text Naya??? How did you two even get to know each other?" Noah questioned. 

 " Oh that's a very looooooooooong story we started off as online friends" Steve said monotonously. 

 " Ohhhhh, so Our Steveie has long stories too eh?" Jame said teasingly. 

"Ah, it can't be as long as your love novel" Ray sassed. 

"OH STOP IT I DON'T LIKE HER THAT WAY!!!! SHE'S JUST A JUNIOR Y'ALL!!!!" 

"Deny deny equals accept though Bro, you said it once" Jerry replied beaming. " Who taught you that!!!" Jame was furious at the tease he was getting. 

 " Whatever helps you sleep tonight buddy" Noah said with a smug smirk. 

 "Well then I don't have competition" Dave smirked wanting to get on Jame's nerves. 

 "Uh oh" Mark muttered clearly feeling the tension. 

 "YAH WHAT DID YOU SAY?" The rest of the night went on for the boys by teasing Jame, constantly having to stop him from trying to murder Dave. 

However for Noah, a million and one questions were floating inside his head. Who could the author actually be?... Steve said that Naya and him were online friends..... and Steve reads Ebooks too.... An Idea popped into his head and he knew the only person that could answer his questions and he was gonna use his social experiments and see whether the puzzle pieces fit..... The onlybone that could help him is .... Steve.....

As always, thanks for reading! ❤️

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