An unlikely team, Snake and Hamster, put their heads together to escape the pet store on the only day of the year there is no staff; Christmas.

A one-shot for a writing prompt - target length 1k words.

"Attention, everyone! I'm going to the Lava Tree monster's territory, so please subscribe and send me a little gift! It's the notorious Lava Tree monster, after all!" 
Fang Laoba yelled a few words and then looked away from the screen. He let his Blue Sea Snake go ahead and lead the way while his Iron Fist protected him. 
It was obvious that this anchor was very wary of the said monster, whereas his viewers were not afraid to blow things up as they kept instigating him to rush in straightaway. 
"Do you see it? It's the Lava Tree monster; it's so thick and big!"
Fang Laoba approached the monster's territory, and from his position, he could see a fiery-red tree, more than thirty meters tall, growing in the middle of a lava lake. 
The monster was motionless and seemed to be asleep, its fire attribute spiritual power faintly rising and falling with its breathing.
"Okay, guys, look properly; I've come today to slaughter this Lava Tree monster!"
He spoke to the camera then commanded his pet to battle.
"Snake, use your Turbo Water Cannon first then quickly follow it up with Frozen Light!"
Although Frozen Light was an ice skill, the Blue Sea Snake had learned it, for it was powerful when combined with Turbo Water Cannon. 
As the spiritual power of the water attribute snake fluctuated, countless currents condensed, then a turbine water cannon quickly formed in conjunction with its spiritual power. In an instant, it rushed toward the monster in the lake.
A cold white light flickered in the serpent's mouth, which it pointed directly at the Lava Tree monster, just as its turbine water cannon was about to hit the latter. 
"Oh, my God! That turbine water cannon is so strong; it'll be even more powerful with Frozen Light."
"Wow, the Lava Tree monster is a goner for sure!"
"This must be fake. Why isn't that monster resisting?"
...
...
While the comment section was ablaze with discussion, the Blue Sea Snake's turbine water cannon rapidly approached the monster in the lava lake. This was when a horrible fire spirit suddenly shot forth and condensed in the air to form a fire dragon from the magma pool, which directly wiped out the snake's turbine water cannon. 
After the annihilation of the Turbo Water Cannon, more magma formed a whirlpool under the monster's control and swallowed the flying Frozen Light. A small part of the originally extremely powerful ice attack was frozen by the magma and quickly vaporized. 
The Lava Tree monster's body shook violently, and countless flame leaves formed the shape of a fire dragon, which rushed toward Fang Laoba with rolling magma. 
"What the f*ck! That monster has awakened its fire spirit power. Snake, quickly use your Water Curtain, then let's run!"
Fang Laoba cursed loudly, and immediately after the countless flames descended, the entire live broadcast room went black.
"Huh? Did the anchor die?"
"What the f*ck! A fire spirit power—the anchor is dead!"
"???"
"??? My goodness! He's dead just like that? He's really dead?"
"I've already called the police. They said they'll notify the Spirit Alliance…"
"A minute of silence for the fallen. The anchor was only twenty-five years old!" 
"What the f*ck! What about my bet!"
"Prophet, come out for me to cut you. It must be you who harmed the anchor."
"No, I didn't. It wasn't me; I was just casually saying it."
...
Su Bai stared at the screen, stunned. Was that anchor really dead, or did the device just explode?
Although he had indeed thought right from the start that the winning rate was not high, he had never expected such a thing to happen, either.
"The monster battlefield is really dangerous!"
Su Bai muttered softly as he inwardly mourned the anchor's fate. 
The strength of the Lava Tree monster clearly surpassed its level by a lot, and it was not because it had strong skills but because of its fire control awakening. 
After the awakening of the fire control, fire-attribute spiritual power between heaven and earth could be mobilized with it. Hence, its attack power would also see a drastic increase. 
That anchor was really unlucky. Such a situation was extremely rare and could be considered to occur only once in a blue moon. 
Corresponding to the fire control was the control of water, wood, and soil. This was not a skill; a pet should grow to a certain level and have a certain understanding of the laws of elements before it could achieve this. 
"Howl?"
Purple Jade crawled over and looked at its owner. What was he talking about?
"Nothing, nothing. It seems that we'll have to train a while more before we look for monsters to fight!" Su Bai shook his head. He should not talk about such things to the cub for the time being since it was not good for its physical and mental growth.
"We're going to have a battle with another spirit this afternoon. Buddy, you have to be prepared."
Chen Rouxue had asked him to have their spirits spar, and since he also wanted to see the results of his pet's training, he had agreed to it. 
No matter how good training was, experience in actual combat was still better. 
"Howl! <(ˉ^ˉ)>"
The cub looked up confidently. 
He swiped his phone and found that Fang Laoba was already on the hot search. Upon seeing this, he wondered if everything had been that anchor's conspiracy. 
"Howl~" 
The cub reached out its small claws, obviously asking him to let it play with his phone. 
"Just play for a while and then go to sleep. We still have a battle this afternoon."
He handed it his phone. 
The cub yelped and pushed him aside. Ah Bai was really long-winded.
Shaking his head, he pulled the quilt over his chest and rested. 
The cub excitedly turned the phone on and clicked on Piano Tiles. 
"Howl~" 
In the end, the other player surpassed it by one point yet again. Purple Jade bared its teeth. Can't the other player just give the first place to me?
It took a while before the cub broke the record and faced off with the opponent.
After finishing this, it looked at its owner and saw that he was already asleep. It then quietly opened a browser, and relying on the words Mother Su had taught it, the cub typed with difficulty the four words: 'How to make money'. 
Ah Bai was always threatening it with food and mobile games, and the cub had had enough. It had to find a way to make money to buy phones, food, and get rid of its annoying owner.
An hour passed very quickly.
"Howl~ o(≧口≦)o"
The cub lay down in bed, irritated and angry. Why was it so difficult to make money?
It did not know many characters, but the webpages were full of advertisements. After trying for a long time, the cub realized that it was impossible to make money.
D*mn it. The cub clicked left and right, very angry and dissatisfied. 
Forget it. It would wait until it was stronger, then it would steal the prey and sell that so that smelly Ah Bai could not use it anymore. 
According to what its owner had told it previously, the cub knew that monsters could be sold for money. 
Howl~ I want to become strong quickly, to make money fast, and not to let smelly Ah Bai threaten me!
After making this decision, the cub searched for 'How can wood spirits become stronger' on Baidu and browsed carefully.
First, the basic skills that wood spirit pets could learn were Vine Whip, Parasitic, and Hypnotic Powder…
Second, wood spirit pets should focus on the control of plants so that they could easily use them to recover their health and attack enemies… It should practice more to reach the level of wood control as soon as possible. 
Third…
The cub obsessively read the instructions and noted the contents before clearing its browsing history. 
Hmph! Ah Bai never would have expected it to learn this technique. 
The cub had learned this after watching its owner open the browser to watch videos. 
Glancing at its owner who was still sleeping, the cub raised its head and snorted. Hmph! After a while, it would become stronger and then earn money to buy food as well as mobile phones. 
After closing the browser, it decided to open Glory of the Dead and play a round to reward itself. It liked the cute hero character inside the game very much.
"Howl?"
The cub was just about to open the game when it accidentally clicked on 'House of the Pet Tamers' app right beside it. 
This was an app developed by the Spirit Alliance and contained information about various Pet Tamers. Only officially registered Pet Tamers could log in. 
"Howl!╰(*°▽°*)╯"
Looking surprised, the cub then saw a message which almost filled the screen: 'Cannes Trainee Pet Tamer Survival Challenge'. It stated that the champion could obtain a million yuan.
Wow, one million yuan! Although the cub counted its claws and did not understand how much money it was, it still knew that it was a lot, enough for it to buy mobile phones and food.
The cub clicked to sign up without hesitation. It was full of confidence and was determined to win the championship bonus. 
After signing up, it retired contentedly and started playing games again.
The cub felt that its owner would definitely praise it once he found out. Ah Bai was really fortunate to have such a smart and cute spirit. 



Su Bai wakes up and finds that the world has changed drastically. He realizes he has come to a world of pets. After accepting the new setting, he is determined to become a powerful Pet Tamer.
One day, Su Bai’s pet releases a beginner skill spark. Flames flutter and the sky turns to ashes…
A water attribute beginner skill causes the boundless sea to fall from the sky, flooding thousands of miles of mountains and rivers…
One blow rips apart the claw, and endless sharp bursts explodes. One after another, worlds fall apart…
A passerby: (ﾟДﾟ≡ﾟдﾟ)!?
This is a world of pets and monsters. Every teenager will develop a soul stone in the middle of their eyebrows. 
After placing the soul stones into stones, branches, water, and any other thing, a spirit egg unique to the owner would be born.
Once the spirit is hatched, the owner will receive his own beginner spirit contract book. Then, he can embark on the road of contracting and training various spirits and monsters. 
However, Su Bai seems to be doing things a little differently…

I went to meet my boss's friend who would help me to find a home, the man was a house salesman about 36 years old, a nice man and pacific, he took me to see the houses in different neighborhoods, all the houses were beautiful and the neighborhoods were very full of green grass, i could see the children playing in the parks, which in Mexico was not seen very often, i smiled, so i pick my camera and captured the moment.
—you enjoy taking pictures, dont you?— said the salesman grining.
—well, you know what they say, work never ends— said alex with a giggle.
—the last house is 3 blocks from here, then you can tell me which you want—
— mhm— alex noded.
The house he showed had 2 bedrooms and a bathroom with a tub, a spacious but not very big backyard, enough to have a meeting with friends, the kitchen was normal and the living was also a bit big with a wondow facing outside, when he finished showing me the house and its qualities, my attention was directed to a house that was across the street, the house looked old but stable, it required work to fix it, the man surpriced that i was looking to that old house then he droped a sweat.
—what about that house sir?— alex asked.
—that house... uhm.. you see... is not... on sale— said the salesman in a spooked tone but still he was controlled like not trying to show panic or thrill.
—mm? is not on sale?—
—y-yes! The house is old, it was going to be demolished anyway—
—well i dont see anyproblem with the house— alex said incredulously and relax.
He tries to drag my attention away from that house, but it was still useless, &quot;what's wrong with this guy.. isn't he scared or what!?&quot; the salesman thought while staring at me with a worried face, i wasn't afraid by the house, seeing houses like this on mexico was normal, it just needed a restoration.
—you said this house isn't on sale.. but.. would you like to bargain?— said alex smiling to the salesman.
—ah.. e-ehm... okey then..— said the salesman giving up and sighing.
There was no way the seller would take me away from the house, I think that's why he gave up, we discussed over the price of the house and I finally bought the house at a good price, the house now was mine, The seller could not show me the house, he seemed in a hurry, so I did not take his time anymore and I thanked him for the help, I thanked him as a Japanese would do to adapt well to the country, the man did the same and left in his car.
From outside you could see the broken windows from outside, and the curtains were badly battered, no problem with that, i walk to the entrance and i try to open the door which was stuck, i try to push harder and i finally opened the door, but the door came down and I fell along, ofcourse that hurt, I stand up cleaning the dust that covered me when I fell, I realized that the hinges and knob were rotten.
—woow... there is so much to clean... lets see...— said alex walking inside with curious.
The place was dark and full of spider webs, I turn on the flashlight of my cell phone to see better, luckily there were no rats or insects, a house like this in Mexico would be plagued with insects or animals like the ones I mentioned earlier, there would also be homeless people invading the property, that or it would be a perfect place for a &quot;spot&quot;, a &quot;spot&quot; it's where a group of people sell their drugs, and i don't mean meds, the living is big and the kitchen aswell, i walk to the main room now and the door is open, when entering the room I was scared when in front of me a snake fell.
—SUP- puta madre...— said alex in spanish after jumpscare, then he sigh.
He wasn't a rat tho but still i got scared, i look at the snake again and i realized that it wasn't venomus, i always wanted a snake for pet thanks to Exotics Lair videos on youtube, so i adopted the snake and i name her shima, yes the snake is a female, how do i know? Exotics Lair videos, after the encounter with shima, i check all the rooms of the house, it was pretty big, 3 rooms and one bathroom and big kitchen and living, and the backyard is a bit bigger than the other house, this will be my new home, along shima ofcourse!.
I search for people to help me restore the house and a little enclosure for shima, after 3 hours of searching i was ready to restore the house, new floor, new windows, even roof was fixed, everything was fixed with new forniture, I have to thank Akira for helping me with the costs of the restoration, I wanted to return the favor for her kindness but she said that she wanted to help, since the day of the photo session she had fun, she is such a nice lady, the day ran off so fast, it was like almost 10 pm so with the last of my money I went to do some grossery, of course it wasn't that much but enough till next payday.
I return home with my stuff, i bought a bicicle so it was kind of easy to go and return, i was ready to do my dinner while on my laptop i was watching anime on crunchyroll, i enjoy the romantic comedies and sometimes a little action animes, watching anime while eat my dinner is relaxing and enjoyable, may be thats why I didnt notice something or should i mean... someone was looking at me from a dark room behind me.
—uuuuh?... この男は誰?— said the mysterious voice in a cold, slow and whispery tone.
I went to sleep, i just had a nice day one on my job and i wanted to have a rest, tomorrow it would be another day, but.. i wasnt noticing i was being watched again.
—彼は私の家に何をしましたか?..— the mysterious voice said looking the remodelated house.
The voice in the shadow brayed softly expressing disagreement for me, it felt that I was invading its property, I did not expect my life to change after this.. but it did.. alot..







My name is Alex Espinosa, im 21 old guy born in Mexico, i moved to japan 5 months later after i finish my photographic illustrator career, my life isn´t as interesting as you think, just a normal photographer doing his job with a girl following me anywhere i go. What? Oh, she? Her name is Aishi, she makes my everyday life a bit exciting, oh by the way.. she is a ghost.

On the bus heading towards the hospital, a young man in a long white long-sleeved shirt was sitting holding a cage with a small white rat that had strange bright eyes.

Once in a while when a child passed by it, the bright eyes of the white mouse caught their attention, which meant their mothers had to pull the children quickly away, already thinking about the excuse they would have to give for not giving a pet monster like that little mouse to their child. After all, that little mouse alone had the same price as famously expensive dogs.

The problem with all this was that if someone were just going to buy a monster, for an average family to collect $500 to buy a mouse, it would be a lot of money, but not an impossible amount. What made the situation more difficult was that for them to be able to adopt the monster, they would need to have a relatively powerful Blessed One in the family to protect themselves if the child gave the monster a wrong order. Also, if the child's affinity with the monster was not high enough and they were unable to make a contract, that $500 could not be reimbursed without buying additional insurance, which, if approved, would cost even more money.

Even if the child was very interested in these little monsters, for an average family to risk buying a $500 "toy" that for some reason might not even work was out of the question.

Everyone who passed Noah on the bus and saw him with the white mouse in the cage assumed that he only had that one little monster, but that was not true. On his left wrist, if he lifted the long sleeve of his shirt, a strange black scaled bracelet would appear. In truth, the bracelet was Lilith, who after working hard to remember her name, wrapped herself around Noah's wrist and started sleeping, as if that place were the most comfortable bed in the world.

Noah had no problem with this; he didn't feel anything unusual about the little black snake that was sleeping on his wrist. In fact, he even felt happy because she was so small and sleeping in that place was so practical, that the people he interacted with after leaving the store, even though they saw the snake sleeping on his wrist, just considered it to be just a bracelet and ignored it.

What he noticed was that after 30 minutes while the snake slept on his wrist, Noah began to realize that the wounds on her body were slightly starting to close.

'Didn't she say that no matter what the Blessed Ones did to her, her wounds didn't heal at all? Maybe this has to do with it...?' Noah wondered mentally as he looked from the snake toward the system notification window that was still open in front of him. He had not accepted or refused the suggestion of the system. If he wanted to consider the snake as a friendly companion, both in personal life and perhaps in battle, he felt he needed to ask her about it first.

The bus ride to the hospital was quite peaceful. Noah believed that perhaps the little mouse might have been nervous and aggressive when walking among so many humans without a contract, but just as the attendant said, this particular mouse was very calm and relaxed. It had just been lying in the cage with its belly up and a lazy look on its face.

If Noah didn't know beforehand that this mouse was actually a monster that came from a Fortress of at least Rank D, he would completely believe that this little thing was actually just an ordinary mouse.

Arriving at the hospital, Noah knew that the attendants did not allow anyone to enter with animals, so he found a thicket and carefully hid the mouse cage there in a way that hardly anyone else could find it unless they really were looking for something there in the first place, which Noah believed was unlikely to happen.

The little monster that had shown no abnormal reaction the entire time, was now noticeably confused by what was happening. He couldn't understand why this human was putting him in a place full of weeds and apparently leaving him alone. Noah did not care what the mouse was thinking and just left before entering the hospital and greeting all the attendants as he always did.

Upon arriving at his little sister's room, she was using the old model cell phone she had to watch something. As the screen was flipped horizontally, Noah imagined it was one of those MyTube videos she enjoyed watching. When he was still at school, he liked some MyTubers very much, for a while he even considered the possibility of recording videos on the internet for fun, but after the accident that happened to his mother, he never thought about it and just placed the idea in the back of his mind.

When Maggy saw Noah entering the door, without thinking twice, she put her cell phone on the table next to her bed and smiled at him as she opened her little arms and kept moving her little fingers as if to say, "Come and hug me, quick!"

Noah knew very well that was exactly what she meant, so without saying anything, he approached her and gave the little girl a hug that had become the reason for living for him and why he focused so hard on breaking into Fortresses.

The two had a short conversation where she told Noah everything she did in the time that they didn't see each other, and Noah told her everything he went through from the party at Carlos's house to the invasion of the Rank E Fortress. Maggy was very happy and excited to know that her brother had risen in rank, now becoming even more powerful.

In her mind, after her mother died, the most important person in her life had become her older brother Noah. He always gave her an impression of being someone invincible, someone who could do whatever he wanted, and just as she imagined, her brother was someone who was so powerful and confident, seeing him move up the ranks was a happy thing, but nothing unexpected.

Maggy faithfully believed that it was only a matter of time before Noah reached Rank A. Even though he had already tried to tell her that this was something very difficult in the past, before his system had awakened, she never listened to him. She always said with certainty that he would truly reach great heights with the Blessing he received, even though she didn't know what that Blessing really was.

"I bought you a gift, sweetie, but you're going to have to keep it a secret. Do you think you can do that?" Noah asked with a warm smile toward Maggy.

When Maggy heard the word "present", her face quickly broke into a happy and excited smile. She was happy to be able to receive a gift of something new and unknown, mainly because that gift was coming from her brother, but when she remembered the financial problems they were in because of her illness, Maggy felt instantly guilty for what she was putting her brother through.

"Noah... I... I don't need a gift; you are already my gift. You can return it and get the money back," she said with a sad look but trying to open a warm smile on her face so that Noah wouldn't realize what she was trying to do.

But Noah knew his little sister very well. When he saw the change in expression that she had gone through, he had already discovered exactly what she was thinking and what she planned to do.

"No, no. The store I bought the gift from is UNFORTUNATELY not accepting a refund, you hear? So, tragically, you will now be forced to keep the gift I bought for you," Noah said, trying to pretend he was disappointed in the store, but the small smile in the corner of his mouth did not escape Maggy's eyes, who immediately understood what he was doing.

As much as she felt guilty about making her brother take chances to make money, watching him do it all for her really warmed the little girl's heart who mentally thought, 'I'll pay you back someday, bro.'

"Okay, well, I promise I'll keep the gift a secret… but where is it?" Maggy gave up on refusing the gift, knowing that Noah would be mad at her if she continued to do so, and simply resolved to accept the gift with a mindset that she would reward Noah in the future when everything improved.

"I hid him in a secret place. Be quiet and wait here. It's a surprise, hehe." Noah let out a slightly evil laugh before teleporting using his Hell Tunneling out of the hospital, right where the little white mouse was hidden. This was his master plan on ​​how to bring a forbidden monster into the hospital. As he was fully confident that he would be able to protect his sister in the case of an unforeseen eventuality, he did not care about the rule that prohibited patients from having pets, not to mention that technically, a monster was not a proper animal.

What Noah didn't know was that when Maggy saw him teleport out of the hospital with his skill, instead of being scared that it would burst into flame, she was shocked for another reason.

"Is my brother Lucifer who appeared on the PigMan live stream?" she asked herself in a loud, shocked voice.

At some point in the 21st century, the Christian God stopped listening to the prayers of humanity. Monsters with colossal strength and endurance began to emerge and humanity entered its darkest period.

However, to the delight of humanity, some people around the world began to receive powers, and so humanity was able to fight back against monsters, now seeing these people with powers as the heroes who fought for the good of the world.

Among these people was Noah, who even though he gained powers, he knew that those powers did not make him stronger at all, making him just as strong as a normal adult man. However, an unknown system awakens and declares him to be the descendant of Lucifer, completely changing his life to the path of the truth and true power.

Lucifer | Descensant | System


Bing Shi in a white t-shirt and shorts, waited for Kuro to return.
❰Host I'm back. Here are your things.❱
A phone and a harddisk appeared in Bing Shi's hands; she hugged them like they were treasures worth cities.
❝Thank you. Give me a few minutes. You can play around for the time being.❞
❰Can I stay with you?❱
❝You can.❞
Bing Shi placed Kuro on her lap.
❝Do you want to see him?❞
Seeing its nod, she asked for a charger and charged up her phone. Turning it on, she showed it their photos and some videos.
❝You see, Xuan Mu had a bad habit of scratching his chest during his sleep when he goes on a business trip for more than two days. So I bought an overall shark pajamas for him. This is a first, and the last time I saw him wearing it.❞
Bing Shi giggled and showed Kuro the video where she was chasing after Xuan Mu in a shark pajamas, trying to capture the moment.
『*Flashback-START*』

The whole time a girl's joyous laughter could be heard in the background of the video.
"Bing Shi, I'd rather have no sex for a week, than wear this horrendous thing," said Xuan Mu, who ran out of the walk-in closet towards the bedroom, while unbuttoning the pajamas.
"No~ Don't take it off!" Bing Shi wearing eyeglasses, ran after him with laughter. Putting the camera on the nightstand, she jumped on Xuan Mu's back, stopping him from undressing, ready to fight for shark pajamas' justice, saying, "It's cold in Russia. What if you catch a cold?"
"I got an anti-cold shot," Xuan Mu, untangling her, threw Bing Shi on the soft bed, and stripped himself out of the pajamas, showing her his solid body.
Instead of appreciating the yummy sight, Bing Shi looked down at the piece of dark gray clothing on the floor. Picking it up, she wore it herself and looked at Xuan Mu with grief-filled eyes.
Xuan Mu sent her a flying kiss and walked towards the closet. Bing Shi seeing his action, jumped back on his bare back, saying, "I wasted like my entire fortune on it."
Xuan Mu chuckled. With a fluffy shark on his back, he walked towards the camera with a sly smile, "I'll pay you back with my body, alright?"
"Alright," Bing Shi snuggled her head on his shoulder. Her silver frames sent a cold sensation to his neck. "At least wear a T-shirt."
"I'll be gone for three days. Will you miss me?" Feeling a light peck on his shoulder, Xuan Mu smiled and turned off the camera.
『*Flashback-END*』

❝He is so charming! His voice can always turn me into jelly. And that smile~.❞
Bing Shi behaved like a fan-girl meeting her idol. Fanning her tears away, she melted every time Xuan Mu smiled or laughed.
❰Host he avoided your last sentence.❱
❝Oh, he didn't avoid it. There was a clear answer. What he meant was: A simple T-shirt can't solve it. End of discussion.❞
Answered Bing Shi in a good mood.
❰...How do you know it?❱
❝We can read each other moods and thoughts. No kidding! I know him more than I know myself! The same goes for him. About the video... Scars created by weapons and words are the same. Because we only had each other, we didn't want to hurt the other in any way. Xuan Mu didn't want to hurt me with his words, and I assured him that I understand.❞
A short video was enough to charge Bing Shi fully. She asked Kuro for a portable printer and a white gold locket bangle. She showed Kuro which picture she wanted to print out, their first photo in her apartment in Sydney. Receiving the scissors, she cut the picture into a shape of a locket and put the bangle on her wrist.
(A/N: To see the bangle check this current chapter on: https://www.pȧtreon.com/chubbyliv.)
❝Kuro, are you going to upgrade?❞ 
Bing Shi asked with a happy grin, satisfied with her new accessory.
❰I was about to ask that. You can upgrade your inventory, so you can draw out larger items, or prolong the duration of pills to 10 minutes with a 25-minute cooldown. So far, you could draw out pills for 5 minutes with a 25-minute cooldown. Regular medicine is not counted.❱
❝I don't need larger items. I want a bigger snake.❞
 Said Bing Shi with a grin. 
❝Kuro, you have no idea how much emotions I can draw out of people with a huge snake next to me. Imagine a combat system, how cool it would be?❞

She patted Kuro's head. 
❝You have faster reflexes and a broader field of vision, those self-improving skills would be such a waste on me.❞

❰Other Hosts like to depend on themselves. After finishing their world missions, they could bring self-improving skills with them.❱
❝I know...How is it possible to draw out so many items for free?❞ Bing Shi asked.
Kuro got used to her neverending questions and answered with a calm genderless voice.
❰These items were always here, but nobody bought them ever. The items started to pill up. Hence the headquarters decided to implement this function to me.❱
It was one of the reasons. Kuro was forbidden to say that Bing Shi's missions were one of the hardest, depending on the host missions and personality, HQ paired the Host with a suitable system.
❝Woah, that's amazing. I never thought about that,❞ said Bing Shi.
Kuro disappeared again.
░I always wanted a talking pet snake that doesn't need to be fed.░
░Xuan Mu, Kuro is so me!░
░A total mood killer.░
Bing Shi giggled and continued to listen to recordings and pictures.
❰Host, I'm back.❱
❝Welcome back.❞ Bing Shi put down her headphones and reluctantly gave the items for Kuro to store. ❝How did it go?❞
❰ou saved Headquarters lots of resources when I said that you wanted a big snake, they went a bit overboard with me, LOL.❱
❝Huh? Really? Show yourself then.❞ Bing Shi laughed.
The whole 20 square void room was stuffed with Kuro's body, which was thick like a tree and long like a whale.
"OH, MY GOODNESS!!!! Bwahaha!" Bing Shi clutched her stomach from too much laughing; her happiness was apparent.
The HQ didn't feel any loss. Because Bing Shi refused teachers in a dojo and considering her average IQ, which would make it hard for her to master something, she saved them lots of EP. Thought she asked for a few things from a highly protected dimension. (EP-energy points) Not upgrading the dimensional storage also saved them lots of EP. They upgraded Kuro, which was considered their property.
They didn't know that Bing Shi didn't give up anything.
░Make a connection with the HQ. ✓░
░Try to demand things from them, but nothing overbearing. Take a loss to lower their guard. ✓░
░It seems like HQ are not that smart, they could ask if I wanted to download the content from my phone and hard disk to save EP. Maybe they were lying, but I don't think so because...░
░They gave me a gigantic snake?! ✓░
░Ask if I can appear in worlds in my current body. X░
░Ask about Xuan Mu. X░
❝Kuro change into a regular-sized snake, about 3 meters would do.❞ 
Bing Shi said with a gleeful smile. 
❝We can start the next mission.❞

"We are well aware that the relationship between us is not healthy. Our love is far from perfect. It's messed up. Just like us."
 

A tragedy occurred, separating a young couple from each other. Bing Shi, who already had a boyfriend before transmigration, saw no point in searching for new love. In order to reunite, she would have to travel through different worlds and successfully finish all the main missions given out by the System Headquarters.

Reporter: "What does Mr. Jelly's name stand for?"

Bing Shi: "It's from a word, jealous. He tends to get jealous a lot, one of the reasons I don't have friends."

"..." Reporter, "How would you describe Mr. Jelly's features?"

Bing Shi, while looking at Mr. Jelly, "His skin is very pale from the lack of sunshine, so you can notice his dark under-eye circles below his black double eyelid eyes. His thick black hair is adorned with gray strands, but it still doesn't make him look any older all thanks to his baby face..."

Mr. Jelly, "Bing Shi, just say I am ugly, no need to beautify me."

Bing Shi, "For me, you are the most handsome man alive."

Mr. Jelly, "With your face blindness, of course I'd be."

Reporter, "How old are you?"

Bing shi, "I'm twenty-six."

Mr. Jelly, "Twenty-four."

Reporter: "How long have you been dating, and when was your first kiss?"

Bing Shi, "We've been together for seven years. Our first kiss was when I was..."

Mr. jelly grabbed her hand and took her away.

"Why did you take me away?" she asked.

Mr. Jelly, "Bing Shi, they would think I am pathetic to get a kiss after five years of dating..."

Bing Shi leaned over to plant a kiss at his cheek, giggling, "Why would they? More likely, they would respect you."

Bing Shi in a white t-shirt and shorts, waited for Kuro to return. 

❰Host I'm back. Here are your things.❱ 

A phone and a harddisk appeared in Bing Shi's hands; she hugged them like they were treasures worth cities. 

❝Thank you. Give me a few minutes. You can play around for the time being.❞ 

❰Can I stay with you?❱ 

❝You can.❞ 

Bing Shi placed Kuro on her lap. 

❝Do you want to see him?❞ 

Seeing its nod, she asked for a charger and charged up her phone. Turning it on, she showed it their photos and some videos. 

❝You see, Xuan Mu had a bad habit of scratching his chest during his sleep when he goes on a business trip for more than two days. So I bought an overall shark pajamas for him. This is a first, and the last time I saw him wearing it.❞ 

Bing Shi giggled and showed Kuro the video where she was chasing after Xuan Mu in a shark pajamas, trying to capture the moment. 

『*Flashback-START*』 

The whole time a girl's joyous laughter could be heard in the background of the video. 

"Bing Shi, I'd rather have no sex for a week, than wear this horrendous thing," said Xuan Mu, who ran out of the walk-in closet towards the bedroom, while unbuttoning the pajamas. 

"No~ Don't take it off!" Bing Shi wearing eyeglasses, ran after him with laughter. Putting the camera on the nightstand, she jumped on Xuan Mu's back, stopping him from undressing, ready to fight for shark pajamas' justice, saying, "It's cold in Russia. What if you catch a cold?" 

"I got an anti-cold shot," Xuan Mu, untangling her, threw Bing Shi on the soft bed, and stripped himself out of the pajamas, showing her his solid body. 

Instead of appreciating the yummy sight, Bing Shi looked down at the piece of dark gray clothing on the floor. Picking it up, she wore it herself and looked at Xuan Mu with grief-filled eyes. 

Xuan Mu sent her a flying kiss and walked towards the closet. Bing Shi seeing his action, jumped back on his bare back, saying, "I wasted like my entire fortune on it." 

Xuan Mu chuckled. With a fluffy shark on his back, he walked towards the camera with a sly smile, "I'll pay you back with my body, alright?" 

"Alright," Bing Shi snuggled her head on his shoulder. Her silver frames sent a cold sensation to his neck. "At least wear a T-shirt." 

"I'll be gone for three days. Will you miss me?" Feeling a light peck on his shoulder, Xuan Mu smiled and turned off the camera. 

『*Flashback-END*』 

❝He is so charming! His voice can always turn me into jelly. And that smile~.❞ 

Bing Shi behaved like a fan-girl meeting her idol. Fanning her tears away, she melted every time Xuan Mu smiled or laughed. 

❰Host he avoided your last sentence.❱ 

❝Oh, he didn't avoid it. There was a clear answer. What he meant was: A simple T-shirt can't solve it. End of discussion.❞ 

Answered Bing Shi in a good mood. 

❰...How do you know it?❱ 

❝We can read each other moods and thoughts. No kidding! I know him more than I know myself! The same goes for him. About the video... Scars created by weapons and words are the same. Because we only had each other, we didn't want to hurt the other in any way. Xuan Mu didn't want to hurt me with his words, and I assured him that I understand.❞ 

A short video was enough to charge Bing Shi fully. She asked Kuro for a portable printer and a white gold locket bangle. She showed Kuro which picture she wanted to print out, their first photo in her apartment in Sydney. Receiving the scissors, she cut the picture into a shape of a locket and put the bangle on her wrist. 

[A/N: To see the bangle check this paragraph comment.] 

❝Kuro, are you going to upgrade?❞ 

Bing Shi asked with a happy grin, satisfied with her new accessory. 

❰I was about to ask that. You can upgrade your inventory, so you can draw out larger items, or prolong the duration of pills to 10 minutes with a 25-minute cooldown. So far, you could draw out pills for 5 minutes with a 25-minute cooldown. Regular medicine is not counted.❱ 

❝I don't need larger items. I want a bigger snake.❞ 

Said Bing Shi with a grin. 

❝Kuro, you have no idea how much emotions I can draw out of people with a huge snake next to me. Imagine a combat system, how cool it would be?❞ 

She patted Kuro's head. 

❝You have faster reflexes and a broader field of vision, those self-improving skills would be such a waste on me.❞ 

❰Other Hosts like to depend on themselves. After finishing their world missions, they could bring self-improving skills with them.❱ 

❝I know...How is it possible to draw out so many items for free?❞ Bing Shi asked. 

Kuro got used to her neverending questions and answered with a calm genderless voice. 

❰These items were always here, but nobody bought them ever. The items started to pill up. Hence the headquarters decided to implement this function to me.❱ 

It was one of the reasons. Kuro was forbidden to say that Bing Shi's missions were one of the hardest, depending on the host missions and personality, HQ paired the Host with a suitable system. 

❝Woah, that's amazing. I never thought about that,❞ said Bing Shi. 

Kuro disappeared again. 

░I always wanted a talking pet snake that doesn't need to be fed.░ 

░Xuan Mu, Kuro is so me!░ 

░A total mood killer.░ 

Bing Shi giggled and continued to listen to recordings and pictures. 

❰Host, I'm back.❱ 

❝Welcome back.❞ Bing Shi put down her headphones and reluctantly gave the items for Kuro to store. ❝How did it go?❞ 

❰You saved Headquarters lots of resources when I said that you wanted a big snake, they went a bit overboard with me, LOL.❱ 

❝Huh? Really? Show yourself then.❞ Bing Shi laughed. 

The whole 20 square void room was stuffed with Kuro's body, which was thick like a tree and long like a whale. 

"OH, MY GOODNESS!!!! Bwahaha!" Bing Shi clutched her stomach from too much laughing; her happiness was apparent. 

[A/N: To see Kuro check this paragraph comment.] 

The HQ didn't feel any loss. Because Bing Shi refused teachers in a dojo and considering her average IQ, which would make it hard for her to master something, she saved them lots of EP. (Energy points) Thought she asked for a few things from a highly protected dimension, it was like nothing for them. Not upgrading the dimensional storage also saved them lots of EP. They upgraded Kuro's size only, which was considered their property. In their eyes, she was making a huge loss! It was just too good to refuse. 

They didn't know that Bing Shi didn't give up anything. 

░Make a connection with the HQ. ✓░ 

░Try to demand things from them, but nothing overbearing. Take a loss to lower their guard. ✓░ 

░It seems like HQ are not that smart, they could ask if I wanted to download the content from my phone and hard disk to save EP. Maybe they were lying, but I don't think so because...░ 

░They gave me a gigantic snake?! ✓░ 

░Ask if I can appear in worlds in my current body. X░ 

░Ask about Xuan Mu. X░ 

❝Kuro change into a regular-sized snake, about 3 meters would do.❞ 

Bing Shi said with a gleeful smile. 

❝We can start the next mission.❞

How is he back? Susan said he'll be back an hour before dinner time. That's four hours away. "Zoey?" He calls me again. 

Does he know? Did he see the videos on the internet? Will he yell? Am I a disappointment to him now? Does he hate me? Has he rang my mother? "Zoey?" This is the third time he's called me. I should turn and face him. 

Slowly I turn around with a sliver spoon in my hand and a pounding heart in my chest. I'm in shock when I see a smile on my face. No signs of anger or disappointment. I don't want to jinx anything but he looks happy. Let me not get in over my head, this could be the calm before the storm. He and my mother know that today is report day. He may want to see it, then all hell will break lose. He'll ring my mother and the worst may happen. Boarding school. 

"Hey dad." My voice is shaky. Trembling. "What are you doing back so early? Did you forget something? What is it? I can go get-" 

"Zoey calm down." He cuts me off and chuckles. "I actually have something for you." It's only now that I realise that his hands are behind his back. 

Curiosity replaces the nervousness. "You got me something? What is it? Did I do something special?" I ask in a hurry, before remembering what happened last year when he said this. "Are you working with Jake to prank me again?" 

His smile stretches more when he laughs wholeheartedly. "No. That was the time, I assure you." I realise a sigh of relief. "Your mother gave us quite the lecture that day." We both chuckle at that memory. Jake was grounded for three weeks, I began to feel bad for him at some point. 

"So what did you get me?" I ask because I'll surely die of curiosity. 

Slowly he brought his hands from behind him. My heart stopped pounding, only to melt. In his hands was a white puppy. "You've wanted one for so long so your mother and I thought it was about time you got one." He handed me the puppy. It's fur is soft. "Plus with the holidays starting you'll spend ample time with her." He had put a purple bow on top of her collar. I take a look at the pendant, it's written Jewels. "I named her at the pet store. You can always change the name if you don't like it." 

I walked closer to my father and hugged him. Carefully not to squash Jewels. "I love the name." I say against his chest. "And I absolutely love her. Thank you dad." We realese from the hug and I coo more at Jewels. 

"You dropped something." My dad hands me the spoon. I must have dropped it while I was obsessing over Jewels. "You could consider this an early birthday present." What? 

"What do you mean an early birthday present, dad?" I look up from the little fur ball in my hands. There's a guilty look in his eyes. I know this look, I've seen it for the past five years. I just thought this year would be different. "You're going to miss it again? This will be the sixth time dad." 

"I know, Zoey. And I'm really sorry." I can feel tears starting to form again in my eyes. "The biggest projects always come up during the festive season. I tried convincing them to change their minds about the timing, but they just won't burge." The first tear rolls down my face. "I'm really sorry, Zo." I quickly wipe it away. 

"It's fine, dad." I bolt back to my room with Jewels in my hands. Immediately she jumps out of my hands and runs to the balcony. I eat one cookie from the packet of ten and Jewels starts barking furiously. 

"Jewels. What's wrong girl?" I pick her up and try to look at what made her angry. Maybe she wants to go outside? "Do you to go outside, girl?" This excites her because she jumps out of my hands, again, and runs to my door. I open the door for her and she runs out. 

I notice that my dad has left when we get downstairs. Shrugging it off I take the kitchen door because it's closer to the garden. Where I suspect Jewels wants to go. 

As soon as I open the door she runs to the oakwood tree and starts sniffing it. I follow suit. I gasp when I see what the tree has on its trunk. An opening. Purple and blue substances ooze out and onto the ground. 

"Zoey?" I'm startled by a voice. I look at it's owner from the side of the tree. Benjamin. He's still in his soccer uniform, so he must be from practice. "What are you doing behind the tree?" 

Should I tell him the truth? No, he'll just think I'm messing with him. I say the first thing that comes to my mind. "I'm getting closer to nature?" 

"Right. I'll leave you to it then." He chuckles and rushes inside. 

I turn my attention back to Jewels only to find her looking at me. "He wouldn't believe me if I told him the truth. You'll understand soon." I pet her gently. She jumps slightly and moves closer to the tree. Suddenly she gets sucked into the opening. Panic and fear rise in me. "Jewels!" I scream her name out. Shortly after I hear a distant bark. I reach my hand inside the opening. I don't feel anything, it's like I'm reaching in air. 

A take deep breaths and try to calm myself down. I rush back to my room to change into clothes that are suitable for walking and possibly rescuing. I pull out a green pair of shorts, a red t-shirt, the climbing boots my mother bought us. From the top of my table I take a blue bag in which I put the cookies inside, the ice cream will have to stay. My red hair keeps getting in the way so I tie it to the back quickly. I wear the gloves Jason got me last month. 

I run back downstairs and luckily I don't encounter any of my brothers or the help. I make to the tree. First I stick my foot in to see if I won't get stuck. Both my legs fit, so I let go of my hold and slide in too. 

My hair is lifted off my back, my t-shirt is rolled up a bit and my bag slips out of my hold. Slowly I open my eyes. Around me is a evergreen rain forest. Tall trees stands firmly placed in the ground, while some vines plants crawl up them for sunlight. Looking down I see a purple-blue river and I'm about to land in it. I try to swim in the air to avoid falling in, but my attempts are in vain because shortly my body is consumed by semi-warm water. 

I push myself up for air, and after what feels like ages, I can breath actual air. Looking around myself I see how massive this river actually is. I start swimming to the banks. My bag lands a shortly after with a small splash, I swim back for it. 

"Jewels!" I call hee when I finally drag myself out. There's a strange tingling sensation in the palm of my hands, I choose to ignore it. This time, unlike the other times when I called her, she doesn't bark back. Worry begins to settle in the pit of my stomach. I hope she's alive, I don't even know if she can swim, she's still a puppy. 

My hair is plastered all over my face, I slowly remove it and wring it dry. "Jewels." I call her again, while taking my shoes off and flipping them upside down, water pours out rapidly they are soaked so I know they are ruined. Great! These were supposed to be water-proof, stupid rip off, wannabe designers. 

Something startles me when the bushes in front of me started moving and a hissing sound starts. I tremble and move back, but because of my clumsiness, I stepped on a rock and slipped. My ankle feels bad, I hope I didn't hurt it. How am I going to save Jewels with a hurt ankle? The hissing does not stop though. A large brown patterned snake emerges from the bushes. It flicks it's tounge out and comes closer to me. I keep pushing myself back with it's every approach. 

The snake kept coming closer and the closer it came I could see it's large body. So large it could probably swallow me without much hustle. Plus I'll be an easy catch. I'm on my behind with a snake that wants to each me. 

"P-please." My voice trembled. "Y-you won't even like how I taste." I can hardly complete a sentence without stuttering. "I'm sure I taste bad, plus I'm all bones no fat. Y-you will just choke on my ugly bones." At this point I stopped moving backwards because I have no land to move back on. I hold out my left hand motioning for it to stop, but do animals ever listen? No! Take Jewels for example, she found a way to get herself sucked into this place. And now I'm stuck her with a large reptile that sees food in me. 

I feel a stick beneath my right and I pick it up and point the snake with it. "S-stay there." I try to sound brave but it comes out like a plea. "I-I-I-I have a weapon, it will hurt you badly if you come any closer." 

Soon I feel the river beneath me, so cowardly I throw the stick to the snake's head. Nothing happens, the stick didn't have an effect on the snake, but in its defense it was a pretty small stick. Well good luck dear fallen solider, I hope you continue to serve in the after life. 

Right now I'm in fight-or-flight mode. And I'm pretty sure I'm not going to fight a snake, so I'm either going to dive back into the river (where it could follow me and eat me there) or make a run for it, knowing me, I'll probably encounter another dangerous animal that has an appetite for me. So in essence, I'm a goner. 

Knowing that my life is possibly ending today doesn't put my nerves at ease. I'm still trembling, shaking in my pants, wait in my shorts, sorry. The tingling sensation is back. The snake keeps coming closer, hissing and flicking its tounge out, in, out, in, out, in like a routine. 

The tears in my eyes start to spill, my life isn't suppose to end like this, not now. I haven't met the people I wanted to meet, now I'm going to be swallowed by a stubborn snake that won't understand that I taste awful. 

How is my family even going to find my body? If I don't die and I find Jewels how am I suppose to leave this place? I fell from the sky so am I meant to fly back up? I don't want to a silent death I open my mouth to scream. My scream is cut short when a hand clasps over my mouth. "Shh." A low raspy voice said near my ear. "Hold on tight, alright?" Although I could not see the owner of the the voice, I felt obligated to nod, the hand moved from my mouth to my waist. For a short while the person's body came into view. "Now!"

After failing and being embarrassed in front of the whole school,Zoey comes back home with a heavy heart. As an early birthday present her father bought her a puppy, only to tell her that he won't be able to make it to her birthday party. After all this sadness and  heartbreak, she finds herself outside with her new best friend in the shade of the oakwood tree. 

Today this tree looks different, a large portal is opened behind it. Gel-like substances spill out from the portal. Zoey's puppy,Jewels, gets suck inside. With determination to save her puppy she follows suit. 

Entering a new world filled with wild and deadly animals, Zoey must use the very little survival skills she has to make it out alive. She meets someone who lives there, among the animals, Lopus. She and him work together to not only find Jewels but to also save this magical forest. 

While on journeying, Zoey discovers that the magic isn't only around her but also within her. Her family history runs deep in the forest and she is now a magical being. Will Zoey find her beloved puppy and make it out? Will she save the forest from a deadly power?

Three hours after Sylvia arrived on the 30th floor, she decided to take a break. The city was huge, with many places someone could hide in. Sylvia was already using the observer she borrowed to search for Lucias, but she still couldn't find anything.

She was currently sitting in a small restaurant in a large multi-story mall, looking over her map. The snake sat in a small round container to her left, once again sleeping. Sylvia, who was currently eating a unique eel and rice meal, was thinking of something to cover the case to shield the small creature.
'It's probably nocturnal, as:
A. It has large, round eyes that are perfect for seeing at night.
B. I always see it sleeping with its head tucked under its tail as to shield itself, which is very cute.
If that's not enough, I have no idea what is. Should I tint the glass or buy a cloth to cover it? Ah, I also need a heater, don't I...
Wow. I never knew taking care of a snake is this hard or expensive.' Sylvia thought. She continued eating with the map spread out over the table in front of her.
Just as she was finishing her meal, two girls approached her table, each controlling a lighthouse. One had blue hair with red and green strands mixed in, while the other girl had black hair with golden highlights.
'Shoot. Why are they coming here? I don't they came to fight, though, as two light bearers don't make a good team. or is it just a guise?'
Under the table, Sylvia started creating a bang just in case.
"Excuse me, but may I take a photo of your snake please? It's so cute!" The girl with blue hair asked excitedly
Sylvia sat there, stunned for a few seconds, processing what happened.
"Uh sure."
"Does it have a name?"
"Nope. I haven't decided on that yet."
"Oh okay."
"Should I take it out of its container for a better photo?" She answered as she relaxed, dissolving the Bang.
"Yes please!"
Sylvia pulled her gloves out and opened the lid, offering it a piece of egg yolk. The snake lifted its head, then went back to napping.
"..."
"I guess it doesn't like eggs?"
The Blue-haired girl chuckled while the black haired girl rolled her eyes, clearly unimpressed. Sylvia laughed awkwardly, unsure how to respond to the situation.
'Weird. I saw videos of snakes eating eggs online.'
"Adorable. May I try feeding it? I have some meat products."
"I guess. I don't know if it will take it, though."
"It's worth a shot?" the blue hair girl kind of asked, hoping to pet the adorable creature.
"Sure. Just don't blame me if it attacks, okay?"
The other girl laughed, refusing to believe that the snake was dangerous.
"I don't think it could do much." The girl said with a smirk.
'Is she joking? I could crush it in a second. I'm only putting up with her since she's watching.' The black-haired girl thought.
"Ah. I would advise you wear a pair of gloves in case it bites. It was quite scary when I first met it."
"Sure." the blue-haired girl said, pulling out a pair of black gloves.
"No! I don't need gloves." The other one remarked with a look of disgust.
Sylvia simply shrugged.
"Your fault if you get bitten and die."
The black-haired girl snorted and moved her lighthouse closer to take a photo.
'That pathetic thing would probably die if I blew on it. Kill me? I don't think so.'
The snake woke up and curiously moved towards the light house, entranced by the bright light.
Click!
"Perfect! Look at it!"
"Ooh. The close up photo is really cute!"
"I know, right?"
'Ugh. How long do I need to put up this act? I'm getting tired of this. At least I might get a few likes if I post the photo. But touch it? eughhhh. No thanks.' The black haired girl thought, internally rolling her eyes.
"Is it classified as a nope rope or a danger noodle?"
"Danger noodle. It's fangs are vicious."
"Ah."
'What the heck is a danger noodle? What is a nope rope? I don't know if I should ask.'
"My turn! Can you please do me a favor and take a photo for me?" The blue haired girl asked
"I don't really know how to use a light house though." Sylvia admitted, slighty embarrassed
"No worries! Here." The blue-haired girl set up her lighthouse, then handed the control to Sylvia.
"Just press this button and It will work."
"A-Are you sure you trust me with it?"
Lighthouses were expensive and are light bearers main tool to research as well as help their teammates. A light bearer giving someone control of a lighthouse was like giving them your unlocked phone with all of your files along with most of their weapons and storage. Yes, it was rare for anyone besides light bearers to be able to use a lighthouse, but to give a random person who you think won't know how to use it is extremely risky.
"Yup!"
"Why would trust her? We don't know who she is or why she is here. This could be a trap for all we know" The black haired girl asked skeptically
"It's fine. I don't think she will try to steal a random person's info or our items. What good would that do? Plus, she doesn't seem to know how to use a lighthouse, so I highly doubt she could steal it if she wanted."
"...
Good point. But why not let me do it?"
"Because last time I let you do that, you tried to mess with my files."
"Wh-"
"I saw it all."
"Fine." The black-haired girl huffed.
The blue-haired girl found no reason to suspect Sylvia, who seemed quite nervous about being handed such a large responsibility. Sylvia also did not seem to have any hidden motives, and seemed to be traveling alone, which meant the two of them could probably easily overpower her in case anything happened.
"Okay..."
The girl rumaged through her bag, searching for something.
"I thought I had it here..."
Sylvia waited patiently, unwilling to move in case she accidentally pressed something on the lighthouse controller. The black-haired girl impatiently tapped her foot, as they probably had something important to do.
"Found it!" The blue haired girl exclaimed, holding up a stick of jerky.
"What do I do now?" She said, kind of lost.
"I would advise you tear it up into a slightly smaller piece and then place it at the fingertips. Then, slowly move your hands towards it and wait for it to eat the jerky." Sylvia answered.
The blue-haired girl did as told, stopping every time the snake started hissing, albeit considerably less than when Sylvia tried to get to it at first. Eventually, the blue haired girl was around two inches away from the small reptile, which was tempted by the food but scared of the multi-colored hair she had as well as the strong perfume. The snake made a weird back-and-forth motion that made it seem like it was dancing.
"Come on. You can do it. There's no reason to be shy~" The blue-haired girl told the snake, hoping it would get closer. Eventually it did move onto her hand and started examining her.
"Quick! take a picture!"
"O-ok."
Click!
"Done! I hope it turned out well."
The blue-haired girl slowly lowered the yawning snake back into its case. As soon as it was safely inside, it fell asleep.
"Thank you. By the way, I never got your name. do you mind telling me?"
"Sylvia. What's yours?"
"Amelia, or Amy for short. My friend here is Verona, but we just call her Vivi."
"Nice name."
"Thanks! You too."
"Bye! I hope we meet again!"
"Goodbye!"
The two walked away while Sylvia finally finished her food.
'That was interesting. I never knew my smol bean would be so popular.' She realized.
"Right. What should I call you..."
Sylvia stared at the sleeping snake, thinking of a good name.
"How about..."
She thought for a while, then sighed in defeat.
"Yeah, I'm not good with names. I can do Jyutye but it sounds weird. I'll stick with it till I think of a better name."
Giving up, she rolled up her map and ran out, texting Kyris an update on the pocket.
"Thank you!" She yelled back, not expecting an answer.
'Whew! Now to find the next location...'

Ascention is a game that has finally surpassed the barrier between real life and virtual reality. The new technology has allowed players to  fully immerse themself into the game as soon as they wear the headset, controling the character with their own actions. In this thrilling game, players enter a fantasy tower and climb up the levels, interacting with other players and making teams. One specific team, Equinox, is preventing anyone outside from climbing up the 56th level, thus stopping all the progress.

16-year-old Sylvia is also stuck here, like many others, but also missing her teammates. Frustrated, she decides to search the tower for her teammates, hoping for the best.

On the 37th floor, she discovers a hidden room hidden in a temple-like structure. Curious, she steps in to see a young man in a shining aqua cloak reading the runes on the wall. Sylvia soon realizes that this was not an ordinary player, but someone quite special.

Ke Meng was slightly relaxed since it was the first time he talked to an official, and the officers were pretty friendly.
There was no sense of confrontation like, 'I'm arresting you for I know something is wrong about you'. There was no intention of seizing as well.
Ke Meng understood that humans with ill intentions would take advantage of such a strange item if it was wandering around out there. They would cause disasters in society.
However, the officials did not assume that he was a bad guy, which made him feel warm inside.
After all, not all citizens were sick at heart. Good samaritans like Ke Meng used the special item for justice.
"That plush toy is indeed quite unusual. It's actually my pet," Ke Meng nodded and said.
He had posted Glutinous Ball's review video on the internet. If the officers saw his video, they would know that Glutinous Ball was a canine pet that could be enhanced.
Instead of lying, he would rather be honest from the beginning to reduce the distance between them. It would be more convenient for them to work together in the future.
Not only that, but he would also obtain more and more review items if he was given review missions in the future. It would be easier and harmonious to be on the same side with the officials.
"I have a review video on B Site. It's the video about my fluffy pet. It's going up soon," Ke Meng said.
"What's your account name? Can I follow you?" Officer Luo was no longer as anxious upon noticing that Ke Meng was willing to tell the truth.
The most irritating person was the kind who was stubborn. If something was to really happen, not one person but a group of people would be harmed.
They could only reduce such disasters after a thorough understanding of the special item, registering it, and assessing its risk, as well as monitoring its coordinates closely. Otherwise, the entire society would be in a mess, turning into a dark society. Nobody wanted to live in such a nation.
Ke Meng showed his B Site account to Captain Luo. He followed him, then looked through the videos Ke Meng had posted before.
There were food vlogs, daily vlogs, and some boring unboxing videos.
The old videos had very few views, but the two latest videos had many views. They were a cat and a glove unboxing video.
"Are you going to post about your fluffy pet online?"
"I just want to show and explain things to people. I've no other intentions," Ke Meng said.
"Explain things… Indeed, explanation is needed. There are rather many special items appearing lately. It's bad that people are uninformed. It raised the possibility of accidents."
When looking through history, ignorance and being blinded were backward behaviors. Meanwhile, open-mindedness and freedom would promote development.
Many special items had yet to be recorded by the officials in Koi Continent. If the people were alert, as well as going to the officials themselves to register the items, the situation would be much improved.
Even if they did not register themselves while all they did was being alert, the risk control on the country's side would be much easier.
After all, the network was well-developed nowadays. There were surveillance cameras all over the streets and alleys. It was a piece of cake for the officials to see whatever problems there might be.
They could focus on the monitoring when they located the special item's coordinates in order to raise their emergency response capability.
Ke Meng brought the officers upstairs. They saw a round, fluffy ball in the living room as soon as the door was opened. It was motionless.
Captain Luo took a good look at the golden, fluffy ball with his glasses. It looked like a plush toy no matter how he looked at it. He would not realize it if Ke Meng did not say that it was his pet.
"What characteristics does your pet have? Have you tested it?" Captain Luo said while signaling his underling to use his phone to take a video for documentation.
"It has Enhancement skill, which allows it to grow four to five meters tall. It can break a tree with a slap when it's been enhanced," Ke Meng said.
The information had been filmed as the materials for his video, so there was nothing that Ke Meng should hide.
Captain Luo nodded. It was no wonder that it could stun the fugitive. With this pet, indeed, it could suppress an adult on the physical level.
"High risk," the staff responsible for recording typed that in his phone.
"Is it controllable?"
"It only listens to me since it recognizes me as its master. It wouldn't dare to go west if I asked it to go east," Ke Meng said.
"Glutinous Ball, roll to the east."
Glutinous Ball rolled for a little to the east. It was very obedient.
The officers looked at each other and said nothing.
"Can we do a more detailed test? We need to record it in our files. You can only keep this pet after a special file in the national network is recorded," Captain Luo explained.
There were strange pets in Koi Continent too. They were pretty much controllable, as long as their owners did not misguide them.
"Where will you do that?"
"At the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau," Captain Luo said.
It was the first time for Ke Meng to hear about this bureau. He had never heard of it before.
"Is it new?"
"It was established five years ago, but we didn't announce it to the public. Only people who are involved in special cases, people in the industry and special item owners know."
Captain Luo paused. "You're also a supernumerary special item owner now. The Koi Continent monitors all owners' activities in public. Your understanding is much appreciated."
Ke Meng showed his understanding. It made sense.
In this time and day where everybody owned a smartphone while technology companies were developing 5G and the internet of all things, it was easy for the officials to monitor his whereabouts.
"I have some special items at home too. They are a cat and a glove," Ke Meng said.
The two items were also the review items in his videos.
He had filmed the review items for the mission assigned by the system in the beginning. It would be inappropriate for him to hide them now.
"You have three?" Captain Luo was surprised. He had never expected Ke Meng to have so many special items.
'So Mr. Ke's latest two videos are the reviews of special items.'
He did not expect Ke Meng to be so passionate about reviews. 
It was very lucky for an ordinary person to obtain a special item by chance, let alone obtaining three consecutively.
"You can keep them if you have the ability to control them and not let them harm society." Captain Luo knew why Ke Meng had mentioned the two special items. He gave the answer Ke Meng was looking for instantly.
That was the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau's grace, as well as the Koi Continent's grace.
"They're controllable," Ke Meng guaranteed.
"No matter what, we'll bring them to the investigation bureau to a test and record them in our special affairs file.
"If you're unwilling to do that, and in case you're worried that we'd capture you, you can pick a venue of your own. People from our bureau will send someone over for the test," Captain Luo said.
To be honest, Ke Meng was eager to see what the Director of Special Affairs Investigation Bureau looked like.
An hour later, Ke Meng arrived at the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau.
The bureau was located at Whale City's technology development zone. There were technology companies everywhere around. Skyscrapers were included in the many buildings, while the roads beneath the buildings were broad.
There was no sign of the investigation bureau hanging at the entrance. It was the company plaque—Special Affairs Services LLC.
Ke Meng looked to his left and right. He saw armed soldiers guarding the door. 
In this nation with a strict gun ban, having soldiers' guarding was a sign in the Koi Continent. This was a secret military base.


Every time he goes to sleep, he will enter a game's Ultimate Boss' body. 
He's the Sleeper of R'lyeh at the bottom of the ocean, the Great Old One in the game, the master of the dream that makes one fall into madness—Cthulhu! 
Due to the rising of the game, more and more fanatics call upon His name. There will be a strange item at home every time Ke Meng wakes up. It's quite a trouble for an unboxing video creator like him...
