Other people might not know about Sun Yinian’s hot temper as much as his daughter, Sun Xiaomeng, knew it all too well. Although not a young man anymore, her father was still a dreamer. He named her "Xiaomeng". "Meng" in Chinese means dreams. "Xiao" referred to the fact that she was born at dawn. 
Her father’s dream was to grow Pets’ Home into the largest comprehensive breeding base in the country. Therefore, he was shooting for all kinds of pets to be available such as cats, dogs, rabbits, turtles, hamsters and lizards. Fortunately, he didn’t include birds and fish. 
Since when did her father change his dreams?
She reached out her arm to see if her father was sick…
Sun Yinian patted away her hand, "I am fine!" 
Although he said so, she didn’t think he was fine. The real drunks would never admit that they were drunk. Her father seemed worried and sighed from time to time. 
"I know you are going to ask. I will tell you inside," he pointed at the store and walked in. 
She followed. 
Even though the fans were turned on in the rabbit barn, the special smell from rabbit waste was still strong. There were only a few mini lops, Siamese cats, snow hares and hotots. There were around the three or four hundred Yuan price point. The breeding rabbits were all gone. 
"What is going on? You scared the crap out of me!" she asked.
It was a strange day for her. First, Zhang Zian talked about setting up a membership system for his store. Second, her stubborn father changed his mind.  
Was she just having a bad day? 
"I don’t want to sell those anymore," her father sighed, "I don’t know. I should’ve known! Pets like rabbits and hamsters are small, cheap, low in profit, difficult to sell and even take a lot of labor to take care of… I just can’t make up my mind to get rid of them. I was hoping they would become popular one day and I could sell them all overnight…Hehe, that was… anyways, finally I see what is the money maker!"
Sun Xiaomeng remained silent. Rabbits and hamsters are cute, but they do not have an emotional tie with humans like dogs do. They are also not as pretty as cats. Their only advantage is easy maintenance. However, if someone really wants a pet that is easy to maintain, they probably do not want a pet.   
Honestly, her dad was more likely to win the lottery than seeing rabbits and hamsters become popular. Pets like lizards were even less popular. 
It was. 
He was curious how come her father suddenly understood this. 
"Sell them all!" her father sounded like he was trying to encourage himself, "our base was too large before. Staff was too busy and sometimes even resigned…in the future, we will focus on cats and dogs exclusively and that will be great!"
"Dad, is it a money issue?" she asked cautiously, "I have some money saved up. You could…" she was really worried about her father.  
Her father stopped her. "It isn’t about money."
"What happened?" she asked. 
Her father looked at her, bowed down his head and said, "Amazing Fate Pet Shop ordered a bunch of pets. He paid for half and also a 50% deposit for the other half. I sold the breeding rabbits and hamsters which will save some feeding money. Everything comes together. This is the best month in a few years! I want to give the staff some bonus for their hard work…"
"Wait! Wait! How come Zhang Zian bought more stock? I thought he didn’t sell the pets from last time," Sun Xiaomeng was totally confused. 
Her father said, "Who told you he didn’t sell the inventory from last time? I delivered to his store a few days ago. Everything was gone! His business is doing great! As we were unloading the pets someone bought a Siamese cat. He bought that cat from us for 3000 Yuan, and guess how much he sold it for…"
Her father waved his hand and said, "5000! The cat was shipped from our base to his store. It didn’t even get in his shop and he made 2000!"
"Um…" Sun Xiaomeng remembered Zhang Zian priced a Siamese cat at 4000 Yuan. That wasn’t cheap. She wondered why he raised the price and people continued to buy from him. Were they stupid? 
Her father felt this was unfair, "I had the staff move the pets and followed the customer. I asked him if he would like another cat. I will sell a Siamese cat for 4000 yuan."
Her brows furrowed, she criticized her father, "Dad, that’s not right. How could you do that?"
Sun Yinian Opened up his eyes, was about to defend himself and sighed, "you know what that guy said? At the beginning, he was interested. He asked if my Siamese cat could do stunts. I was confused. That was the first time I heard cats could do stunts…the customer left without saying anything…"
Sun Xiaomeng was shocked. Is Amazing Fate Pet Shop changing its name to Amazing Fate Circus? They could train cats to do stunts?  
"That’s fate! This kid is going to make big money! Weird things happen sometimes and this year there are a lot of weird things!" her father smiled with jealousy. 
"Oh!" her father suddenly got excited, "have you heard another weird thing? His store provides cat bathing service. The customer has to bathe their own cat and he charges 300 Yuan for it! He would just sit there and do nothing! He also hired two young kids to help. Money comes too easy for him… Customers paid 300 Yuan, bathed their own cat and thanked him like he did a big favor to them! That was impossible!"
Unbelievable! Unbelievable!
Sun Xiaomeng could not be more surprised at those stories from her dad! 
It all makes sense now. No wonder Zhang Zian wanted to build a membership system. He had to have a good customer base.  
After all, only one thing came to her mind – He was such a big liar!

Oct/27/Thu/2022 8:33am


It was a bright and sunny day.


Rich's mother takes him for a walk in the city to buy groceries (which is boring).


While strolling around the city, Rich came across a pet store nearby, and started pulling his mother's sleeves, "Mom! Let's go there! I want to see the animals."


"Ok, ok. Let's go,"


The first thing they saw they went inside were hamsters running inside their wheels. 

And mice chewing on their food.


Rabbits shaking their nose. Cats staring at them with a confused look. Dogs sitting still with their tongues sticking out. Fishes waggle in the water, and birds create a soothing sound.


And countless crickets chilling inside a piece of wood...


But what caught his attention was a pair of big hamsters like creatures resting in their cages.


"Mom! Look! A guinea pig!" He said while running to it.


"Oh, you like this one kid?" The shopkeeper asked.


He's in his forties. Wearing a vintage outfit that had blue square lines, pattern shirt, and black trouser, "They're mainly rodents, but also biologically related to pigs."


"Wow! Can we keep it, Mom? Please... Pretty please..."


She hesitated for a moment before giving her answer, "No,"


 "What? Why?"


"I prefer the hamsters,"


Rich stomps the ground, and says, "But I want it!"


"Are you sure? I think hamsters is better since it's smaller, and easier to take care of,"


"No! I want a guinea pig!"


She sighed, and decided to give up, "Fine..."


His heart was pumped with excitement giving a cheerful smile.


"We'll take this one," She pointed at the one with white and brown fur.


The shopkeeper nods, and gently carries the little big creature in a cardboard box while Rich and his mother were picking a cage for it to stay.


.....

.....

.....


"Okay. There you go," Rich mother placed the guinea pig in his purple colored cage near the house exit. Letting it roam around, and get used to its new home.


"So, what are you going to name him?" She asked Rich.


"Hmm... I'm gonna name him Hurly!"


"Hurly? From the movie?"


"Yeah!"


"Alright, it's your choice,"


Rich noticed something was missing, and gasped, "Mom! where is Hurly's food! He's going to starve soon!"


"Ok, ok. I'll feed him now,"


.....

.....

.....


Ever since that day, Rich has been spending time with Hurly day and night. Literally everyday. 


Taking him for a walk around the room.


Feed him. Changes his water.


And watches movies together, "Look, Hurly. That's you on TV."


And finally. Reading storybooks for Hurly, "The big bad wolf blows the house made of straws flew away-"


"Wait a minute... Can you understand what what I'm saying?" He asked while staring at Hurly.


Hurly only walks around pretending he doesn't hear anything.


"Hmm... Nevermind. I'll read lots of stories for you until you understand what I'm saying,"


.....

.....

.....


Few months later...


The sun hasn't fully raised yet. Only dark blue lights were visible indoors.


Rich was first to wakes up in this dark morning, and rushed his way to Hurly's cage, "Good morning, Hurly. Are you still asleep?"


Hurly only stays still in the corner not responding to Rich's greeting, "Hurly?"


He pokes Hurly a few times, and feels that his body was hard as stone while still not moving at all, "Mom!"


"Mom! Come quick! Hurly is not moving!"


"Wha- what!" She jolts awake, and gets up from her mattress. Running right next to him to observe Hurly's condition.


"Hurly? Are you ok boy?" She opens the cage. Putting in her right hand inside to give Hurly a little push.


Hurly then drops like a fallen statue.


She gasped in shock while Rich was terrified.


"He's dead..." She said.


"Ah! Hurly, no!"


"It can't be helped. He's gone now,"


"How did he die... And why!" He asked while sobbing.


"I think he was sick. His left eye was harder than the rest of his body," She answered after examining him for a few moments.


"I... I noticed that... And thought he was injured. I should've known he was sick!" He said making his heart more heavier, and painful than before.


"It's not your fault. Even if we know he's sick, the vet is too far away from our place to cure him,"


"Well, it's time to throw him away,"


Rich was surprised to hear this, "shouldn't we bury him?"


"We don't have a shovel. It's much easier anyway,"


Then she had an idea, "Or... why don't we place something next to him?"


She wraps Hurly's body with paper, and places him in a box, and puts a ladder next him, "Like this ladder. He loves to climb it right?"


"Oh, I know!" Rich runs to the living room, and rips apart a piece of paper from his book on the shelves then writes something on it.


Goodbye, Hurly. We'll always remember you. Rest in peace, My friend.


He placed it right next to him, and his mother closes the box, and carried it, "Let's take him away,"


"Wait!" He stopped her.


"Hmm? Why?"


"Let me carry him,"


"Alright," She hands over the box. Rich carefully grabs it into his arms like he was about to hug it.


"Let's go,"


.....

.....


Rich and his mother were walking halfway to the large green box that was filled with garbage. Giving him a second thought, "Hurly..."


Why does he have to go there...


Tears started to force their way out, but his mother saw it, and said, "Don't cry. People are watching."


He musters all his strength to hold it back.


Rich tosses Hurly into the pile of garbage with a frown on his face, and walks away.


He wanted to turn around, and look at it once last time, but he chose not to, and hold his mother's hand, "Mom."


"Yes?"


"Is Hurly happy there in heaven?"


She was surprised to hear this question, but calmly answers it, "As long as you don't cry for him then he will."


"Alright! Then I won't!"


She smiles, and keeps on walking until they reach home.


.....

.....

.....


Few weeks later.


They've come across the pet store again, and his mother asked, "Want a new friend?"


Rich hesitated for a moment, and answered, "Yes?"


"Well, this time I'm choosing the hamsters," She said in a demanding tone.


"Ok..."


They stepped into the store, and the shopkeeper greeted them, "Oh, welcome back. How's the guinea pig doing?"


Rich breathes in as much air he could. Fighting off his sadness.


He saw Rich's reaction, and nods in understanding, "I see... Sorry for that."


Rich's mother cuts in, and says "It's fine. Do you still have any hamsters?"


"Yes, they never stop breeding. Pick as much as you want," He pointed at the hamsters.


"Oh, look at them, B. Aren't they cute?"


"Um... Yeah..."


Rich went closer, and saw the hamsters were looking at them while standing with two legs for a moment, and sniffing the air with it's little pink nose, "So cute!"


His mother was glad to see him cheerful, and had decided, "We'll take two pairs,"


"Four? Alright. Which one do you want?" The shopkeeper asked with a hint of glee in his tone.


"Got any discount?" She asked with a grind.


"No," He answers blankly.


.....

.....

.....


"Welcome to your new home everyone!"


"The home where Hurly used to live..."


His mother gave a slight cough, and asked, "Aren't you going to name them?"


"Oh, yeah!"


Rich looked at each of the hamsters, and thought for a whole minute, "Alright! The white and orange spot will be Bucky!"


"From the movie again?" She asked.


"Yes! And this white and gray will be called, Grey,"


"Are you sure? You know that's a female right?"


"I will still call her Grey," Rich crosses his arms.


"Ok, ok."


"I will call the white one, Snowy,"


"Better,"


Rich suddenly pauses for a moment, "What is this color?" He said while pointing at the last and biggest hamster.


She took a closer look.


It had white, black, brown, and a rare unique color to its fur, "I think it's brown-coffee."


He opens his mouth wide to say, "Oh..."


"Then I will call him, Diego!"


She raises her eyebrows, "The one from that cartoon show you watched? Why?"


"Because he's going to be strong and adventurous like Diego," He said with pride.


"Haha. Alright, from now on his name is, Diego,"


.....

.....

.....


Just like before, Rich treats them like how he treats Hurly.


Out of curiosity, he places them on a rope that his mother tied next to the bathroom to hang the laundry, and places a pillow under it to avoid injury.


They really walked over it.


"Wow, you guys are amazing!"


.....

.....

…..


Today, Diego was moved to another cage because…


He's too big and hostile. Fighting anyone on his way.


"There you go. Now you can't bite anyone anymore," Rich's mother said. Dropping him into the new cage.


"Bad Diego," Rich said while tapping Diego's nose.


A few days after Diego was moved, the metal cage was bent wide by being opened too much, causing the two hamsters to escape at night. Walking at every corner of the house. Exploring, sniffing, biting, and carrying… Red onions to the cage? From the kitchen? How does that fit in that small gap?


…..

…..

…..


The next morning.


"B!"


Rich forces his eyes open slowly getting up, and walks toward his mother like a moving toy using batteries that almost drain out, "What's the matter mom…" He said while rubbing his eyes.


"Why are there onions inside their cage?"


"Onions? I don't know. Where?"


"Here…" She lifts the cage from the bedding.


Rich took a closer look, and saw a half dozen red onions, interrupted Snowy's sleep, and Diego from the other side looking around confused at how the cage was lifted, "Hmm?"


"Mom, where is Bucky and Grey?"


"I don't know. Maybe they are responsible for these onions. We should look for them,"


Rich searched around the living room like playing hide and seek while his mother went to the bathroom because she's afraid that they would get wet there.


…..

…..


"Did you find them, B?"


"No,"


"Thank god they're not in the bathroom. Let's look for them in the kitchen,"


Both steps into the kitchen, and Rich heard something was rattling from the left side. He went there, and saw Bucky peeking through the boxes and random stuff then went back to hide, "Mom! I saw Bucky!"


"Where?"


"He's hiding behind here," Rich said. Pointing at where he saw Bucky.


She moves some of the objects, and saw Bucky and Grey with more onions, and bite a hole through a box.


Both Rich and his mother feel relief when they find them again, and put them back into the cage, "I'm going to close the gap with rope or wires so that they won't sneak out again."


"Oh, ok,"


"But I'm still confused how they could carry the onions and why?"


"Maybe they like onions," He said while making an idiotic smile.


"I don't think they could..." She said while still wondering.


"Well, keep an eye on them, B. I'm going to cook breakfast,"


"Alright!"


…..

…..

…..


Few weeks had passed. Everything went well, and cheerful. 


Until…


Rich was done playing with his toys in the living room, and decided to check on the hamsters.


Snowy was sleeping peacefully in the small house, and Diego was walking… Uncomfortably…


Bucky was eating.


Eating something Rich never expected Bucky would feast on…


Grey…


"Bucky! What are you doing!"


Half of Grey's head was completely devoured by his own friend.


Rich eyes were widened.


Looking at Bucky with disbelief, "Mom!"


He ran toward his mother. Trying to focus on sewing some clothes with holes, and told her, "Mom! Bucky is eating Grey!"


She frowned, and said, "Don't be ridiculous. They won't eat each other."


"No! He's really eating her right now!"


"It's not good to talk to them like that, you know. I'm really busy right now."


"I'm not lying! See it for yourself!" Rich pulls her hand, and drags her away from the couch.


"Look!"


She examined the cage, and saw what he said was true.


"Ah!" She lifts the cage from its bedding, and pushes Bucky away.


"Oh no…  Grey…" She brings a piece of cloth, and grabs Grey with it.


"Looks like we had to throw her away..."


Rich made a disgusted face, and said, "Along with the thrash again?"


"I have no choice. I'm not willing to bury her,"


Rich's jaws were crushing together, and looking away from her, "You throw her away. I'm not going."


"Alright, I'm taking her away," She drops Grey into a garbage bag.


He witnesses it with disdain. Watching her stepping out of the door to dispose of his lost companion.


Sitting down, and yelled, "Why! Why did you eat Grey!"


Bucky was surprised, but ignored him after a moment.


"Wasn't she your partner? Why did you do it?"


No response…


"Argh!" He storms off, and locks himself in the room feeling despair. Staring at the ceiling unable to move on for losing Grey.


Rich started to visit them less often ever since.


Bucky was feeling weak after a few days.


It was then a silent night. Rich couldn't sleep. So, he decided to visit the hamsters, and saw… Bucky was lying motionless in the middle of the cage, "Bucky?"


He gave a few strong shakes, and realised, "You… Died…?"


Rich sniffs a little, and feels a pressure coming from his throat and eyes, but he gains back his composure, and says, "Hmph, suits you well. That's what you get for killing Grey."


He runs back into his room, laying flat on the bed trying to forget about Bucky until he falls asleep.


…..

…..

…..


"I'm home,"


After hearing that voice, Rich quickly raises up, and gleefully hops out of his bed to greet her, "Mom! Guess what, Bucky…" 


He suddenly felt reluctant to say it, "Bucky died."


"Oh," She bows down, and sees Bucky was still lying in the middle.


"Well, I feel bad for him, but he deserves it," She brings a few pieces of tissue, and grabs Bucky with it, dumping him in the trash bag, and dispatching him the next morning.


Leaving Snowy by herself.


Just to die on her own laying in the pure white house.


"No! Not Snowy! Wake up! Don't die!" Rich couldn't hold his tears anymore, letting it all out like a flood caused by a devastating storm crashed through a solid wall.


"Out of all of the other places, she chose to die here… That's what I love about Snowy, but it's time for her to go…" She was about to get up until Rich grabbed her arms with both hands.


"Can we bury her… Please…" He pleaded.


She gave a heavy sigh, and smiled, "Alright, but only this once."


Rich then smiles like the sun appearing during a rain.


They went to the backyard, and it was only next to a huge hill. His mother bought a cleaver to replace a shovel and a cloth with Snowy inside it, "This seems to be a good place. Should we do it here?"


He nods, and she started stabbing the dirt off the ground as deep as she could, "Alright, this seems deep enough. Now, let's put Snowy inside."


She gently places Snowy in the hole, and covers it up with dirt, "Rest in peace, Snowy."


"Goodbye, Snowy…" Rich sniffs, and let go of his tears. His mother pats his head a bit before giving a hug.


"It's all fine now. I'm sure she's happy after resting her body in a safe place,"


"Yeah…! As long as she's happy,"


…..

…..

…..


Diego has been moved to the old cage since it's bigger than the one he lives in now.


Rich stares at him, and says "Ok, You better behave yourself since you're the only one left."


"Well, even though you're bad I will still be your friend. Welcome back, Diego."


He cherishes Diego a lot.


Trying his best not to harm, and lost another friend.


…..

…..

…..


It was almost the end of the weekend, Rich hadn't looked at Diego for two days, and decided to walk pass by to check on him.


"Diego!"


He fell on his knees, and stared at his last friend lying flat on the ground with his head facing sideways with his eyes closed.


His mother rushed in, and asked, "What happened! What's wrong with Diego?"


"He… Died…" He was lost in words. He felt like a boy without a soul.


"Oh… Not again…"


"Are you ok, B?" Giving him a concerned look. 


"No!"


"I'm not ok!"


"Just take him away already!" Rage and despair could be heard from his voice.


His mother could only obey, and leave the house with Diego in her hands.


Rich was staring at the empty cage. Blaming himself deep inside his heart.


He's all alone again…


No friends…


Probably never will…


Dec/1/Thu/2022 8:16am


A great day for a walk in town.


The worst part is…


Everytime they walked past the pet store. Rich will suddenly turn upset remembering the heartbreaking past.


"Want to go, and ask?" She said.


"Ask what?" He replies, giving a puzzled look.


"Like why all of them died,"


He gave a serious nod, and both stepped in the store for the last time.


"Oh, it's you two. Haven't seen you for some time," The shopkeeper said.


Rich's mother steps in and said, "Yeah, today we just wanted to ask you something,"


"Hmm? Sure. Go on?"


She then explains what happened to the hamsters for the past two months. The shopkeeper nods, and gave his answers, "I see the problem here,"


"I wanted to say the onions caused it, but I don't think that's the reason,"


"There's three things that's happening to them: One is depression. Two are illnesses. Three is the cage is cage was too small,"


"Having three or four hamsters in that cage is not big enough, and will cause depression then starting to kill each other,"


"Or, the other hamster was attacked by parasite, and caused one of them to die, and the other must take responsibility to eat or dispose it before the dead body pollutes their home,"


Rich realised what he was talking about "Bucky…"


"My guesses are the rest probably died because the parasite manage to attack all of them or their life span was shortened by over stressed,"


"I see… What do you think, B?" She turned around just to see him crying again.


"Oh! Sorry! Did I make him cry?" The asked.


"Mom… Bucky was a good guy all along?"


"They weren't happy this whole time!"


His mother ran in front of him and rested her hands on his shoulders, "No, it's not true. They were happy."


"No they're not!"


"We couldn't afford to take care of them!"


Rich calms down, and closes his eyes, pushing out his tears, trying to avoid her eyes, and says, "It's fine, Mom…"


"I rather be alone without friends if that could make them happy…"


"I don't want a pet anymore…"


"Let's go home…"

"I want to reach my hand to the skies and feel free,"

"I wish to climb the mountains to experience the challenge and danger,"

" To share my glory along with my friends,"

"Sometimes I wanted to be alone, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings without problems,"

"Why is it so complicated to achieve?"

This is the story of boy who wanted to be free and participate in extreme activities, but life have other plans for him and decided to change his fate and gave him isolation instead of freedom. Will he get the life he always wanted?

"Ellie, I hope you will be this confident when you confront her tomorrow," Abigail said.
 
"I will. After all, I will be getting my identity back," Ellie said. 
 
"We all have evidence now. So, let's get a good night's rest for tomorrow's drama. Now go sleep, everyone. I shouldn't find dark circles under any of your eyes," Abigail said.
 
"Let's call it a day. I'm dead tired," Abigail said as she stretched her body.
 
"Thank you, Chairwoman," Both Ellie and Simona said.
 
"OH! Wait! Ellie after you join the research center and get your job back, Don't forget to sell your first research to us," Abigail said. 
 
Ellie nodded with a smile on her face and left after giving a small bow.
 
"Girls, I'm hungry, let's have a stroll around the midnight snack market. Who wants to come with me?" Abigail asked.
 
Rebecca took her bag and went near the door as if she was going to leave. 
 
"Are you leaving?" Samantha asked. 
 
"Hadn't she said we are going to the night snack market? I am going there in advance. It looks like you both will take some time. So, I am going early and will taste what kind of food is there," Rebecca said as she started drooling as she imagined the food. 
 
"I will come with you," Samantha said.
 
"You cheater! Is food is more important to you than me!?" Abigail accused.
 
Rebecca nodded saying yes without hesitating.
 
Abigail clutched her chest in pain. She couldn't digest the fact that she was ditched by her friends, that too because of food. 
 
Abigail shed an invisible river of tears for getting betrayed by her friends. 
 
Sobs…
 
Forget it…
 
She should not count her friends with her.


Sad life...…
 
Sigh...


"Forget it, I will come with you," Abigail said. 
 
She got up and took her purse as she made her way out.
 
The three of them went to the parking lot.
 
"Samantha, no need for a car. Let's walk. And let's stay over in the company or the apartment on the other side of this road," Abigail said.
 
The two of them nodded and went to the night snack street. 
 
The three of them ravaged the whole food in the street. 
 
Abigail couldn't help but frown. These two hamsters are eating as if there is no tomorrow. 
 
Gosh! She is feeling very sorry for their stomachs.
 
Can they show some pity for their stomachs?
 
Abigail relieved a sigh when she saw them finishing their food.
 
"Shall we head back?" Abigail asked.
 
At that time, Rebecca saw a night stall starting a new batch of cuisine. 
 
"Sammy, See there, he is starting a new batch, let's have it," Rebecca said. 
 
Before Abigail could say something, these two ninjas disappeared, and in a split second, they appeared in front of that night snack. 


Abigail slapped her forehead. She berated herself for coming out with these foodies. 


She shouldn't take them out next time. She learned her lesson. 


As she walked with them, she also tasted a serving of each dish they ate. And her stomach is full. Now, it's hard for her to walk. But these two gobblers are still eating. 
 
She had a doubt, Do they have black holes in their stomach?
 
Aren't they full?
 
Gosh!
 
She has to stop eating! 


If not, Her stomach will explode!
 
Abigail chose a table and sat there. 
 
At that moment, Rebecca bought some barbecued chicken. While Samantha bought salted herrings served with onions.
 
Abigail slapped her forehead. 
 
She really wanted to ask, do they still have space in their stomachs?
 
Forget it….


She will just go with the flow along with them. 
 
She just hopes that she will not have a stomach upset or stomach pain.

In a world of ridiculing remarks, unfiltered contempt, enviousness of ravenous wolves- a tiny flower blossoms ever so gradually, while battling through a complicated romance, conquering an apprehensive, exquisite heart.
 
Later to be thrown into a dark hopeless abyss of sadness, misery, anguish, that ever so gradually tears her flowery body.

Again to be comforted by her warm luminous star, that seemingly loses its lustrous countenance with her feebleness.

Soon to be revitalized amidst her bursting, poised heart, vanquishing every pitiful hindrance, that dare opposes the ever so majestic, insurmountable, Empress; 
dreaded by numerous beings of myriad characters, but ever to be loved by her radiant Devil.

Happy reading all o(〃＾▽＾〃)o

I wanted so bad to go check on the archery notice board after school, but Zara had skipped, yes, skipped to me straight after the bell to go home together.
I preferred Zara skipping than strutting or whatever Krystal and the cool girls did in place of walking.
"Are you still coming over to my place?" Zara asked.
"Yeah, why not?" I answered.
"My place is kind of small." She told me.
"Do you not want me to come?" I asked.
"No! I mean yes! I mean I want you to come." Zara cried out immediately.
"Let's go then." I said.
"Come back after school, I'll send you home." Henry said.
Henry was going to try out for the debate club today.
"It's ok. Someone will pick me up from Zara's place." I told him.
Henry nodded. Suddenly reassured. I remembered my mum saying that being driven about was normal daily security for future Alphas.
I left with Zara, we walked out the back entrance and down the steps.
"My house is just there." Zara pointed at the old buildings I've often cut across to go home.
We walked together through it until we reached the train station, then we made a left to an old apartment block along a deserted street.
"This is my block." Zara said.
It was the middle of the afternoon. The building looked worn and tired. The paint was peeling and patchy. A shroud of fog seemed stuck to it.
"I never been around here before." I told Zara.
"Yeah? Well, it's nice." She told me.
I followed her to a narrow passage way, narrowly avoiding a passing roach. Zara hadn't seemed to notice it. While we waited for the lifts Zara told me, "I live on the fifth floor."
"My hamsters would be happy to meet a new friend." Zara looked happy. I smiled. We entered a green colored lift. It smelled of a thousand unidentifiable things.
My wolf was on alert, but silent.
{Beta is near}
Well mostly silent.
We got out at the fifth floor, passing a couple of doors. I started feeling creeped out at how quiet and empty and dark each apartment was. But Wolfie seemed unperturbed, so I kept going.
But I had to admit, I did feel that everyone who had ever advised me against this was right.
Finally we reached her door. There was a metal gate in front of it, with a padlock, which she unlocked. And then a wooden door, it's paint peeling. We went into a dark apartment. I sensed no other human around, but also more unfamiliar smells. It was quite exciting.
"Come in." Zara showed me in and turned on the lights. The apartment continued to look shadowy and grey though.
"Come see my babies." Zara beamed. I smiled at that.
At this point, as she opened the door to her room, I was expecting to see a bedroom and like, maybe a hamster cage on her desk or something.
But the moment the door opened, I felt my mouth fall open with it. Lined wall to wall under her windows were cages and cages stacked on top of each other, full of little critters.
"They just keep having babies." Zara told me.
I nodded wordlessly.
The other side of the room was a single bed with mismatched sheets, and a small wooden wardrobe.
Zara picked out a pink cage, "Let's go outside and play with Brownie."
I nodded, "Okay."
{Beta is near}
Oh! I hadn't texted home!
"Sorry, I need to text my mum." I told Zara.
Zara looked disappointed, "Do you want to go?"
I shook my head, "No, I can stay for an hour or so. I just need to let my mum know."
Zara lit up, "You're going to stay?"
"Yeah, I've never held a hamster before." I told her.
"Yeah, okay. I'll let you hold a nice one." She promised me.
I took out my phone and texted my mum, "I'm at Zara's now. She has a lot of hamsters!" I put a heart after the text. Zara read the text over my shoulder and smiled, "You love hamsters too huh?"
"Not as much as you do." I shrugged, "But I think they are cute."
Zara then introduced me to Brownie, the mother of many hamsters.
"Brownie is nice," Zara told me, "She doesn't bite."
Zara showed me how to hold up my hands cupped together, I did and she put the squirming small ball of fur in my  palms.
"It's so ticklish!" I nearly squealed but I didn't. Because that would be un-alpha-like.
Zara laughed.
And then Brownie bit me.
Ouch.
I quickly passed it back to Zara.
"Funny," Zara frowned to herself, "Brownie loves humans."
Hahaha, Zara, you must know I'm not human. But she didn't seem to notice.
"I'll show you the others." She told me, "But you better not hold them, most of them bite."
She showed me Blackie, the one who bit Krystal. Good job Blackie. Hahahaha
And then Brownie's different batches of children.
Ironically Blackie would attack the babies even the ones sired by him. He had to live on his own. The only one he's good to was Brownie, but Brownie, depending on her mood would not always entertain his affections. Poor alpha hamster.
{Beta is near}
My phone buzzed, a text from an unknown number.
"Waiting at carpark, Princess. Take your time."
Great, the Princess plague had spread. Even Beta Lucas!
Princess was a nickname for girls like Maria... You know, a little spoilt, a little selfish, a little sheltered.
Not for girls like me.
When I was a kid, if we played knights and dragons, Lizzy would be the princess. Savy always chose dragon. And I was always the knight.
When I was a preschooler, I wasn't the pink dresses and tiaras type of girl. My mum did put me in dresses, but my color was blue. And I would be running about bare headed and bare footed until an adult hunted me down and caught me.
When I was a toddler, I wasn't the pretty thing that sat on my parents laps at dinner parties. My mum told me I was the one who went from table to table drinking orange soda from anyone who'd offer to share their cup.
I wasn't the princess type, so I don't know why I'm getting called that so much suddenly.
"Want to see the smallest ones I have?" Zara pulled out a small cage with three little baby hamsters. So cute.
We were back in her room again. I admired the babies while Zara told me their names. Sweet Pea, Sour Pea, Small Pea. They looked identical to me.
"Do you have to go now?" Zara asked.
I looked at the time, "Yeah, I had better. My ride's waiting downstairs."
"Okay, someone is here to fetch you? I'll walk you downstairs." Zara put the cages away and walked me down.
"Thanks for showing me your hamsters Zara."
"Who do you like best?" Zara wanted to know.
"Blackie." I decided.
"Funny, everyone likes Blackie even though he is such a meanie and bites." Zara told me.
There was my hope, right there, that I'll always have friends who would like me. 
We took the lift of a thousand unidentified smells down.
The carpark was completely empty except for a black pick up truck. It was completely black, even the windows and parts of the wheels that was usually silver was black.
"Cool. Is that your ride?" Zara asked.
It looked familiar... But it was also definitely not Beta Lucas' SUV.
We walked towards it and the driver side opened.
Harvey got out, all decked in leather jacket and a wry smile, "I'm here to pick up a princess."
Zara's mouth dropped.
I felt something inside me explode, and not in a good way explode. It was more of a I'm so mad I think it one of my arteries had burst kind of explosion.
When we got near enough, I punched Harvey, as hard as I could.
I landed the first punch, but Harvey caught my fist with the second.
"Och...That didn't hurt." He grinned.
I wanted to kick him where it would really hurt, but I realized Zara was still staring.
"Uh, yeah, this is my ride." I told her, removing my fist from the Beta's grasp to point at him, "Bye!"
"Bye!" Zara said.
Harvey opened the door for me and I climbed in. It was my first time in a pick up truck and it felt weird to climb up into the seat than just sit down into it like a normal car.
Weird in a good way.
"Nice ride Beta." I told him as he turned out of the parking lot. It smelled new inside.
I could see Zara still watching us but I don't wave because Harvey's windows were tinted black and I knew Zara wouldn't be able to see inside.
"Thanks." Harvey said, "I just got it."
"What's with the 'I'm here to pick up a princess'?" I burst out now that the niceties were done.
Harvey laughed softly, "I have a pick up truck, see? And I'm picking up a princess."
Hardy har har, or should I say, Harvey har har?
"Don't call me princess." I said finally, "Just call me Sam, like everyone else."
"Wait, I thought everyone called you princess?" Harvey started to look panicked now.
"No, nobody calls me princess." I informed him, "I'm not even the princess type."
"But Nix and the guys said..." He trailed off, realization dawning in his eyes.
"Beta, do you really believe those three hyenas?" I asked him.
"Oh s***..." Harvey hissed lowly under his breath.
My good Beta was back with a vengeance. With an even calm voice, Harvey said quietly, "I'm going to get them for this."
Go get them Beta!
"I even called you princess in front of your mum!" Harvey bemoaned suddenly.
Now I laughed out loud.
"This is so embarrassing." Harvey told me, his face reddened. But I appreciated how his eyes was still on the road and both hands were steady on the wheel.
All signs of a good, albeit embarrassed Beta.
"It's fine. Just pretend that it was a code name or something." I told him.
He raised a brow at me.
"As long as you act like it was no big deal, and I act like it's no big deal, no one would act like its a big deal." I told him.
"I can't believe I'm taking advice from a 14 year old girl." Beta continued driving. His navigation skills seemed more mainstream than Beta Lucas'.
"You'll be taking much more from me than that Beta." I told him.
Harvey laughed, "Princess, that sounds bad.. Oh s***, I did it again."
I sighed, "How about replacing 'princess' with 'alpha'?"
Harvey thought about it, "I could, but I prefer princess. It suits you."
I didn't answer, at first it was because I was so mad at him for refusing to acknowledge me as his Alpha. Was it because I was a girl? Or did he think I wouldn't be good enough?
But then I realized princess might be a good alias after all. Then no one would ever suspect me of being a threat.
I'll let them keep calling me princess. Then I'll make them understand that I'm really the Alpha. I'll prove to them that I am the Alpha.
In the meanwhile, I think I was going to get away with a lot more as the princess.
My mum was right, sometimes being the Luna (or in my cases future Luna aka princess) was better than the Alpha.
Hahahaha. I'm so sneaky. Fear my hidden Alpha in disguise as a Luna!

Big-hearted and witty, Samantha Kingsley is the Alpha's daughter who grew up learning to meet everyone's expectations. But Samantha isn't a pup anymore, she's in high school now, and is just about to discover that her life is written by her choices. Not by dreams, or prophecies, or even the moon goddess. This girl is going to protect the happiness of her pack and everyone she loves.

Read her diary here.
Updated every night.

Volume Synopsis
VOL 1
It's the first week of school. Despite my failed attempt to make a friend, I somehow ended up surrounded by a handful of wolf classmates, got accepted by the human "cool" girls, and became a vampire's guard dog? 


VOL 2
I think I'm just starting to get the hang of school. From navigating school halls, new friends, vampires, and school clubs... 
Back home it should have been the usual drill, but things started shifting. And I urm...might have been messing around where I shouldn't.


VOL 3
I had to miss a couple of school days this week due to my ah, long term bout of "anemia". It's been pretty intense at home. My alpha position was challenged, rogues burnt down our home, I rescued my first fight dog, discovered the Lorent's secret oracle, almost rescued my mate...and accidentally stumbled into my Alpha Dad's secret.


VOL 4
My worlds collide as some members from my pack come to my school to sell concert tickets. And when Grandpa Alpha shocked us all by dying, my dad's family comes together to pay their last respects at the Night Forest Pack. 


VOL 5
It's February and the Vampire Queen is celebrating her birthday. Would Rebel's plan to escape work out? Meanwhile, I'm stuck in school dealing with high school drama, an evolving wolf, and a new human sister. In the Red Packlands, war nearly breaks out. (This might have been a very little bit my fault.)

VOL 6
It's the week of Valentine's Day, but I've got a highschool play, Lorent drama, Vampire slaying training, and an underground army to deal with first. And then warlock weather threw an extended snowstorm at us. The whole of Green Packlands goes into lockdown - but what about Valentine's Day?

VOL 7
Exams are a week away, and it feels like my time at Winderhill is really coming to a close. I'm trying to be a good student, but there are paparazzi camped outside my school, I ran with rogues (I'm shocked too), Maria just had to enter her dark cycle in school...My life is too exciting to study for exams.

VOL 8
It's exam week, but I've got far greater problems brewing at home. The prophecies are merging. River's stone had unlocked warlock trouble, the rogue king has moved in, and then there's Uncle Louis' economical problems... one at a time. Just let me survive Code Black and figure out what's going on at Heller's first, and I'm sure everything else will work out somehow.

"I asked you to find a single person, but you still haven't found her after so many days. What use do I have for you!"
Elder Rong angrily slammed his fist on the table, and that table instantly broke into smithereens within moments, making everyone who was present shudder.
They could imagine the formidable power that fist would produce if it hit their body.
"Elder Rong, I have a plan." Within the crowd, a gray-robed man stood forward, cupping his hands in a salute, and respectfully said, "Last time, that Godly Doctor left an answer below the man luo poison[1] question, proving that she is very interested in peculiar and rare diseases, so how about we post an extremely difficult problem on the wall? If she appears and works out the solution, then we will be able to find her!"
Elder Rong's anger had dissipated by half, but his complexion still did not look too great.
"Then we will do it as he said. In a moment, I will provide a difficult problem, and you will then post it and use it to lure her out!"
--
Four days later.
Inside the single-storied house at Yun Estate's rear mountain, Yun Luofeng opened her eyes and felt the power surging out of her body, her lips curled into a bewitching smile.
"Early-level intermediate-rank spirit cultivator."
In four days' time, she went from an early-level low rank to intermediate rank. If such talent was revealed, it would definitely stun the entire Long Yuan Kingdom!
"With this last remaining dose of Spirit-Gathering Medicinal Liquid, it looks like I will need to reallocate. Never mind, I will go to the Medical Pavilion to try to see how much this last dose can sell for. A doctor is a profession that burns a lot of money, and merely relying on the 45 million taels that Mu Shen owes me isn't enough," Yun Luofeng muttered to herself.
She was about to rise from the bathtub when she suddenly discovered a small figure sticking out its tiny butt and licking the bathwater that got splashed on the floor—even the water in the corner was not spared.
"Xiao Mo, why didn't you tell me that something came in?" Yun Luofeng stared at the gluttonous little guy and asked with a raised brow.
Before long, Xiao Mo's guilty and defensive voice could be heard from inside her mind.
"Master, this is only a gluttonous gold-seeking hamster, attracted by this Spirit-Gathering Medicinal Liquid. It isn't harmful to you, so I didn't inform you."
He would never tell his own master that this hamster's presence was too weak, so he overlooked its presence.
"Gold-seeking hamsters like to eat Spirit-Gathering Medicinal Liquid?"
Yun Luofeng stared at this snow-white gold-seeking hamster, the glint in her eyes slightly turned a few rounds.
"What gold-seeking hamster eats isn't Spirit-Gathering Medicinal Liquid; what it likes to eat are medicinal herbs! Moreover, it relies on medicinal herbs to increase its strength! However, this gold-seeking hamster hasn't eaten medicinal herbs before, so up until now, its strength is still very low! Master, this time, you found a treasure."
Xiao Mo's voice was very excited, "The lineage of this gold-seeking hamster is very pure! If you bring it with you, it can help you discover extremely valuable medicinal herbs! Of course, you need to be cautious, the gold-seeking hamster is voracious, so if you let it search for medicinal herbs, it will eat it all!"
"The only ability of gold-seeking hamster is to discover precious medicinal herbs?"
"Of course not! Gold-seeking hamster's own strength is also very strong; its teeth can bite and break the toughest and most durable sword in the world! Its claw can dig through the General Estate within two hours! Because it has a small body and sharp teeth, even if it fights with spirit beasts like jackals and wolves, it still wouldn't be in a disadvantageous position! The premise is that the gold-seeking hamster is allowed to grow."
Xiao Mo became more excited the more he talked, "However, if you want to strengthen a gold-seeking hamster, the amount of medicinal herbs that you have to invest will be as high as a mountain! This is also precisely why there aren't many people on this continent who can successfully nurture powerful gold-seeking hamsters. Because of this, the world generally believes that gold-seeking hamsters level up slowly and possess weak strength."
Yun Luofeng grew silent, however, the pair of bewitching eyes staring at the gold-seeking hamster brightly shone.
[1] Man Luo =  Datura stramonium (scientific name), aka jimsonweed, Devil's snare, hell's bells, tolguacha, Jamestown weed, stinkweed, locoweed, or Thornapple.


Yun Luofeng, the genius of Huaxia Medicial School, died from an accident, and her soul attached onto the useless Eldest Miss of the General Estate in Longxia Continent.
Not only was this trash ungifted in the literary arts and martial arts, but she was also big chested without a brain, arrogant, and self-willed. It was not enough for her to have a perfect fiancé like the Crown Prince. She actually forcibly snatched a pretty boy in public, leading to the Crown Prince to annul their engagement.
However, the waste could not withstand this shock, so she actually hung herself to end her life.
Opening her eyes again, she was no longer the previous useless eldest miss.
With a contract with the Medical God's Code, the possession of a spiritual plant space, and miraculous hands that can bring the dead back to life, her medical skills will stun the world! Extending from the royals and nobles on top to the merchants and old and influential families below, they will all compete to curry her favor. Even His Highness the Crown Prince, who previously broke the engagement, came knocking on the door with a desire to reconcile?
In regard to this, a certain mysterious man finally could not endure it anymore and proclaimed, “Whoever dares to come and harass my woman, let them come but never return!”

Looking at the time, Logan realized he didn't have long before he had to go. The elderly hamster was slowly walking its way to the bush where Dani and the rest of the hamsters hid.

It was a long journey. Given it was only Vanessa, her three friends, and the elderly hamster, they were able to get by without being detected by predators. If only Dani put in the same amount of effort.

Upon escorting the old hamster into the bush, a giant puddle of hamsters was seen dug into the dirt. Dani was in the center sleeping like a kitten.

"Dani," called Vanessa, "You were supposed to watch them,"


"Nothing in this forest will touch them," she yawned, "I am fierce".


"You mean 'feerse'," said Logan looking at the time.


Mimi added, "Dani sleeping while the rest of us were running around like hamsters".


Vanessa rushed her lazy ass up and assembled her fur babies. After taking count, she realized somehow none of them died. Logan mocked Vanessa for allowing two hamsters to die back in the beginning. It was an amazing gift of the feral cats he added, to watch over young while sleeping.


"We will not let another hamster die," said Vanessa.


Logan added with a smile, "Well you got one, maybe two hours before I leave... And Dani doesn't run".


Vanessa rushed the hamsters into place. As before, Dani was to sit on top of a hamster while Logan, Mimi, and Kiki ran like heathens. When Vanessa wasn't touching a hamster, Kiki whispered, asking Logan if he was trying to make her fail. Instead of sabotaging, he was rather proud she made it this far. He even admitted that these hamster abilities would come in handy for not just the team, but her as an individual as well.


.........................
Despite her goofy nature, Vanessa was once again very careful about moving the hamsters across the forest. From bush to stump, she bound them away.

A fox was spotted on the radar. Using hand signals, Vanessa pushed everybody into hiding. The fox sniffed about the bushes, looking for food. She further signaled her three useful teammates into position. They waited for the fox to come near before striking.

Watching the predator from the radar, Vanessa studied its movements. It rushed over towards them. Logan and Mimi ran for a frontal attack, but the fox jumped clear over.

"Fuck," said the two attackers as an eagle swooped down at them.

Vanessa created a magical ball around them to prevent the eagle from gripping them. Her energy took a big hit creating those two spheres. She yelled for them to get back into the bush.

Logan yelled for Mimi not to listen, but it was too late. The eagle saw Mimi running towards a bush and attacked it directly.

Everything within the bush rattled to no end. It was an obvious hunting tactic that Vanessa wasn't aware of. It was to be expected from a girl who never hunted. Nor has she been through many survival themes.

Just the bush was nearly tipping over, Vanessa ran her furbabies away. The eagle swooped again to grab a hamster. Vanessa guarded it with a sphere.

The eagle's claws clashed with the magical sphere, causing it to fly up. Vanessa seized the moment to run everybody in a single pack.


As the eagle turned around for another strike, Vanessa set her team into a diamond formation. Each wing of the bird stretched well beyond that of the formation. Probably the size of a normal human.

Just as it nearly grabbed a hamster, Mimi rushed on it. Fortunate to the hamsters, they weren't shredded by their friendly spheres. That didn't stop the eagle from landing in the back with Dani.


"No no no no no, you will not eat Dani," she pleaded shooting at the large bird.


Logan called out asking Vanessa not to shield him again as she placed a sphere over each hamster in the back row with Dani. Being on a hamster herself, Dani was also shielded.


It glided to the center of the formation to grab one of many hamsters. Kiki hopped over many to jump into the eagle.

Like rain, the eagle saw it coming. Sure enough, Vanessa encased Kiki in a magical sphere.


A slight tilt was all it needed to avoid Kiki's clever attack. That slight tilt positioned it perfectly to Logan's throw card.

That tiny paper cut to the eagle's eye felt like a full-blown peck from another eagle. The bird flew into a tree.


Logan picked up a tiny hamster and ran after the fallen eagle.


"Not my baby baby," cried Vanessa.


Once Logan threw the little guy at the giant predator, Vanessa had no choice but to place a sphere on it as well.

The baby hamster ripped down the eagle's thigh. Logan further pushed it on the crying eagle's foot.

Mimi and Kiki cheered on Logan's antics against the bird while Vanessa cried for her baby.

The eagle flew away defeated before it lost any more blood.


Kiki called over, "Vanessa, I think this is a race"!

"Bro, this entire fucking trial is a race to not get eaten!" yelled Mimi.

Dani continued laying on her soft cuddly hamster, listening in on the team bicker. After a short minute, Vanessa decided to run her team through the forest. The cliff wasn't far. But with a potential threat at any turn and her magic reserves low, only time would tell if they made it.


...........................................
Shortly after entering the desert, a foreign tremor was detected on the radar. It wasn't clear, but it was definitely headed their way.

"What is that?" asked Vanessa.

The elder shook while fumbling his words.

"It's a snake!" yelled Kiki.

Mimi and Logan grumbled under their breaths, not wanting to deal with anything. The cliff itself was in sight. Kiki asked to send her with Mimi or Logan. Mimi rejected the moment she looked on the radar. The area of the tremor wasn't only moving fast. It was also a big area. Meaning they were either facing a big snake or a bunch of small snakes.


Dani laid on her running hamster and said, "How about no. Just no more. Dani's done for the day".


"Quick!" yelled Logan, "Sacrifice Dani! It's the only way"! 

Dani quickly responded calling him a "Fucking traitor". 

Vanessa shook her hands, refusing to let a single hamster go. The elder saw the anguish in her heart in sacrificing one of her own for the sake of the rest. With the group of snakes approaching, she was left with no choice. 

She held one finger up at Kiki, signaling to cripple a single hamster. Kiki kicked a hamster's legs, causing it to fall back into the hoard of oncoming snakes. It cries screeched to Vanessa's now sensitive ears. 

Dani yelled again, "That could've been me, asshole"!

The pack of snakes ate at the hamster before continuing their chase. After noticing, Vanesa held out two fingers. Kiki and Dani each crippled a single hamster. They fell into the hoards of snakes, stopping them near completely. 

It was just the time needed to get up the cliff. 
.........................................................................................

Fully reunited, in the tunnel, Vanessa stood in front of the elder hamster. 

Mimi couldn't resist pointing out how brutal it was. Logan even added that the fox pact wasn't hurtful. The very idea of sacrificing one's own for the sake of others was a challenging decision to be made. Ironically, it fell on Vanessa's shoulders. 

The elder acknowledged Vanessa's contribution. And while many of her achievements came from the help of friends, it was her wise decision to listen. He held out his tiny cold paws out, releasing a light that went into Vanessa. The Isekai system appeared informing her that the hamster skill tree has been activated. 


She immediately cheered through Logan's tutorial. He explained that the hamster skill tree was added to her training chart, but that she still needed to study each skill like she would a normal job class. 

Though it seemed Vanessa ignored every word he said to hug and play with the hamsters, she was fully aware of everything he said. 


The girls remained to enjoy their day with hamsters. Logan had to reschedule getting the two limit breaks for the next day. For now, he left to attend some important matters on behalf of the team.

Looking at the time, Logan realized he didn't have long before he had to go. The elderly hamster was slowly walking its way to the bush where Dani and the rest of the hamsters hid. 

It was a long journey. Given it was only Vanessa, her three friends, and the elderly hamster, they were able to get by without being detected by predators. If only Dani put in the same amount of effort. 

Upon escorting the old hamster into the bush, a giant puddle of hamsters was seen dug into the dirt. Dani was in the center sleeping like a kitten. 

"Dani," called Vanessa, "You were supposed to watch them". 

"Nothing in this forest will touch them," she yawned, "I am fierce". 

"You mean 'feerse'," said Logan looking at the time. 

Mimi added, "Dani sleeping while the rest of us were running around like hamsters". 

Vanessa rushed her lazy ass up and assembled her fur babies. After taking count, she realized somehow none of them died. Logan mocked Vanessa for allowing two hamsters to die back in the beginning. It was an amazing gift of the feral cats he added, to watch over young while sleeping. 

"We will not let another hamster die," said Vanessa. 

Logan added with a smile, "Well you got one, maybe two hours before I leave... And Dani doesn't run". 

Vanessa rushed the hamsters into place. As before, Dani was to sit on top of a hamster while Logan, Mimi, and Kiki ran like heathens. When Vanessa wasn't touching a hamster, Kiki whispered, asking Logan if he was trying to make her fail. Instead of sabotaging, he was rather proud she made it this far. He even admitted that these hamster abilities would come in handy for not just the team, but her as an individual as well. 

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 

Despite her goofy nature, Vanessa was once again very careful about moving the hamsters across the forest. From bush to stump, she bound them away. 

A fox was spotted on the radar. Using hand signals, Vanessa pushed everybody into hiding. The fox sniffed about the bushes, looking for food. She further signaled her three useful teammates into position. They waited for the fox to come near before striking. 

Watching the predator from the radar, Vanessa studied its movements. It rushed over towards them. Logan and Mimi ran for a frontal attack, but the fox jumped clear over. 

"Fuck," said the two attackers as an eagle swooped down at them. 

Vanessa created a magical ball around them to prevent the eagle from gripping them. Her energy took a big hit creating those two spheres. She yelled for them to get back into the bush. 

Logan yelled for Mimi not to listen, but it was too late. The eagle saw Mimi running towards a bush and attacked it directly. 

Everything within the bush rattled to no end. It was an obvious hunting tactic that Vanessa wasn't aware of. It was to be expected from a girl who never hunted. Nor has she been through many survival themes. 

Just the bush was nearly tipping over, Vanessa ran her furbabies away. The eagle swooped again to grab a hamster. Vanessa guarded it with a sphere. 

The eagle's claws clashed with the magical sphere, causing it to fly up. Vanessa seized the moment to run everybody in a single pack. 

As the eagle turned around for another strike, Vanessa set her team into a diamond formation. Each wing of the bird stretched well beyond that of the formation. Probably the size of a normal human. 

Just as it nearly grabbed a hamster, Mimi rushed on it. Fortunate to the hamsters, they weren't shredded by their friendly spheres. That didn't stop the eagle from landing in the back with Dani. 

"No no no no no, you will not eat Dani," she pleaded shooting at the large bird. 

Logan called out asking Vanessa not to shield him again as she placed a sphere over each hamster in the back row with Dani. Being on a hamster herself, Dani was also shielded. 

It glided to the center of the formation to grab one of many hamsters. Kiki hopped over many to jump into the eagle. 

Like rain, the eagle saw it coming. Sure enough, Vanessa encased Kiki in a magical sphere. 

A slight tilt was all it needed to avoid Kiki's clever attack. That slight tilt positioned it perfectly to Logan's throw card. 

That tiny paper cut to the eagle's eye felt like a full-blown peck from another eagle. The bird flew into a tree. 

Logan picked up a tiny hamster and ran after the fallen eagle. 

"Not my baby baby," cried Vanessa. 

Once Logan threw the little guy at the giant predator, Vanessa had no choice but to place a sphere on it as well. 

The baby hamster ripped down the eagle's thigh. Logan further pushed it on the crying eagle's foot. 

Mimi and Kiki cheered on Logan's antics against the bird while Vanessa cried for her baby. 

The eagle flew away defeated before it lost any more blood. 

Kiki called over, "Vanessa, I think this is a race"! 

"Bro, this entire fucking trial is a race to not get eaten!" yelled Mimi. 

Dani continued laying on her soft cuddly hamster, listening in on the team bicker. After a short minute, Vanessa decided to run her team through the forest. 

The cliff wasn't far. But with a potential threat at any turn and her magic reserves low, only time would tell if they made it. 

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 

Shortly after entering the desert, a foreign tremor was detected on the radar. It wasn't clear, but it was definitely headed their way. 

"What is that?" asked Vanessa. 

The elder shook while fumbling his words. 

"It's a snake!" yelled Kiki. 

Mimi and Logan grumbled under their breaths, not wanting to deal with anything. The cliff itself was in sight. Kiki asked to send her with Mimi or Logan. 

Mimi rejected the moment she looked on the radar. The area of the tremor wasn't only moving fast. It was also a big area. Meaning they were either facing a big snake or a bunch of small snakes. 

Dani laid on her running hamster and said, "How about no. Just no more. Dani's done for the day". 

"Quick!" yelled Logan, "Sacrifice Dani! It's the only way"! 

Dani quickly responded calling him a "Fucking traitor". 

Vanessa shook her hands, refusing to let a single hamster go. The elder saw the anguish in her heart in sacrificing one of her own for the sake of the rest. With the group of snakes approaching, she was left with no choice. 

She held one finger up at Kiki, signaling to cripple a single hamster. Kiki kicked a hamster's legs, causing it to fall back into the hoard of oncoming snakes. It cries screeched to Vanessa's now sensitive ears. 

Dani yelled again, "That could've been me, asshole"! 

The den of snakes ate at the hamster before continuing their chase. After noticing, Vanesa held out two fingers. Kiki and Dani each crippled a single hamster. They fell into the horde of snakes, stopping them near completely. 

It was just the time needed to get up the cliff. 

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 

Fully reunited, in the tunnel, Vanessa stood in front of the elder hamster. 

Mimi couldn't resist pointing out how brutal it was. Logan even added that the fox pact wasn't hurtful. The very idea of sacrificing one's own for the sake of others was a challenging decision to be made. Ironically, it fell on Vanessa's shoulders. 

The elder acknowledged Vanessa's contribution. And while many of her achievements came from the help of friends, it was her wise decision to listen. He held out his tiny cold paws out, releasing a light that went into Vanessa. The Isekai system appeared informing her that the hamster skill tree has been activated. 

She immediately cheered through Logan's tutorial. He explained that the hamster skill tree was added to her training chart, but that she still needed to study each skill like she would a normal job class. 

Though it seemed Vanessa ignored every word he said to hug and play with the hamsters, she was fully aware of everything he said. 

The girls remained to enjoy their day with hamsters. Logan had to reschedule getting the two limit breaks for the next day. For now, he left to attend some important matters on behalf of the team.

The Isekai Game is a vigorous sport where players battle in a variety of themes each month. From magic, alchemy, melee combat, gun slinging, themes, players are forced to fight each other and monsters alike. 



Vanessa finally has her shot at playing and making it to the pro leagues to live a life of wealth, fame, and adventure. But when her small guild of misfits is threatened by an in-game assassin and her "ghost" warns her of a traitor, she feels at the end of her ropes. 



Will her new Isekai family stay together and make it to the pro leagues. Or will this traitor succeed at tearing them apart along with the harsh nature of the game?

Manga to be released in June for free. Check my Instagram for more info.








Notes:
I know my first 2 chapters are confusing. I literally give the first 65 chapters free. My story has a "Do now, explain later" rhythm to it. The characters you read on in the first two chapters get fleshed out in the next two chapters. 
So give it a chance. 


Also, this is not your typical trash Isekai. There is no boy getting hit by a truck. No heavy romance. No high dive online nonsense. No harem. No sex jokes thrown every chapter nor bouncing tits. No truck-kun. No getting trapped in the game. No matrix or any other corny stuff. My concept is not original. But I literally cannot think of 1 story out there that has it.


".........///////////" indicates a transition in scene or time. 
My story gets hectic. This will help a lot.

Victoria's construction pace was fast and exceeded Lancelot's expectations.
He thought that the few thousand Humans, Fairies, and Elves were nut cases. They started logging trees at a rapid pace, clearing empty land, transporting wood, and constructing the foundations of buildings.
Someone drew a few blueprints of buildings as a guide on a wooden board. Besides the buildings, they started planning for different areas. The first area to be built was the Living Quarters.
Besides the Living Quarters, the wood logs were used to make a surrounding wall.
It had only been two days!
Lancelot was shocked. When he thought about the limits of organic life, he saw unlimited possibilities!
He observed the back view of an exhausted Human who was sitting on the ground and eating. 
Lancelot walked over, wanting to chat with them on a basic level and ask them what motivated them to work so hard. Were their families that poor?
Lancelot thought that the exploited laborer would be full of tears as he bit on the bread that was as hard as a bat. He thought that he would use a tree branch to draw out the picture of his little girl.
Lancelot had encountered such scenes many times. After all, life was hard, and poor laborers lived especially hard lives.
When Lancelot walked over, he saw the Human putting clay from the ground into his mouth with a blissful smile.
"Wait! What are you doing? Don't give up hope!"
Lancelot stopped the Human who he thought was swallowing clay to kill himself. What kind of hard labor and immense pressure would cause such a Human to give up his life? Lancelot was excommunicated, but he didn't forsake his belief. Humans who killed themselves were unable to ascend the Heavens!
"I'm eating my meal…" The Human was taken aback. When he realized it was Lancelot, he was unbelievably happy. Lancelot had never seen such a happy being.
"Strange Encounter Mission! I have encountered the legendary Strange Encounter Mission!" the Human shouted loudly, and gamers started to gather around him.
The figures in the forest with shimmering eyes moved towards him. Numerous Humans, Fairies, and Elves looked as though they had found their dream goal. In the darkness, he overheard their conversation.
"His luck is so good. He encountered the Strange Encounter Mission just after the start of service."
"Why haven't I encountered a Strange Encounter Mission? I'd like to have one."
"Selling clay, selling clay. The quality is soft and tasty and of fresh stock!"
"The clay seller is a cheat. He just grabbed the clay from the ground to sell!"
"Who's selling bronze coins? I'm accumulating at high prices. Victoria's first Guild, Hoodlum Yoga Association, is already registered. Come and register fast!"
"It's only been three days, and we have a Guild? The rich gamers are scary!"
"We have more rich gamers than you can imagine."
Lancelot looked to the sides. He felt chills running down his spine from the glimmering stares of those creatures.
Their clothing was tattered, and their hands were badly hurt after two days of continuous work. They were filthy because they hadn't bathed for two days. Even though a river and a lake were nearby, they didn't have the habit of bathing. 
Or perhaps, they were too busy to bathe.
It was understandable that their lives were hard, but the creatures just slept on the ground while ants crawled over their bodies. Could they not find a higher tree?
It wasn't the time to ponder. Those creatures came closer, and Lancelot became nervous, grasping the hilt of his sword instinctively.
"What are you doing?"
A helium voice was heard, and Lancelot looked over. It was the three Hamsters who followed Duchess Lilo.
One of the obese Hamsters charged at Lancelot and shouted, "Don't idly chat with them. The Duchess is looking for you, follow me."
Lancelot heaved a sigh of relief, releasing his sword hilt and following the Hamsters.
The surrounding creatures gave way, but they continued chatting.
"Ah, I thought it was a Strange Encounter Mission, but it's only a Plot."
"A Plot is pretty good too. We have been carrying bricks, constructing houses, and clearing land. Won't we get bored if we don't have some entertainment?"
"Why aren't there any maps for us to fight monsters on the Surface World? I want to fight and sacrifice for Victoria City."
"I only want to save the world."
Lancelot was getting used to their strange conversations. However, he was also worried. Could the insanity be infectious?
The Hamsters led Lancelot to the Castle that was conjured by Lilo, a place that the gamers were unable to get close to.
"Were you going to hack at them?" the Second Boss Hamster asked Lancelot.
"No…"
"But I noticed your hand grasping your sword hilt. Don't do that again. After all, you have signed the contract. Don't ever attack them. Otherwise, there will be severe consequences," the Second Boss said gravely with his helium voice, frowning.
"That's right, you'll have health bars," Big Big Boss said. 
"Do you have things to eat?" The Fat Otaku Hamster looked at Lancelot with anticipation.
Big Boss slapped Fat Otaku's head and said, "What did I say? You'll die if you eat things on the ground! You'll die! There's the Sacred Light, so don't eat indiscriminately!"
"Things on the ground?"
Lancelot was dumbfounded. He felt that he heard something important.
"No, it's nothing. Please go in quickly, don't keep the Duchess waiting," Big Boss said as he pushed Lancelot from behind, pointing to the door in front.


Sherlock is a new generation Dungeon Lord whose ambition is to become the greatest Devil King and building up the greatest Dungeon in the Underworld.
He summons a group of other-worldly goblins who give themselves strange names, form cliques, engage in commerce, and even fight among themselves.
They call themselves—Gamers!

"Oh my god boss, this car is just too awesome. One step on the gas pedal and ….. I freaking love it! But boss, didn't you say you were short on funds?" Driving this brand new Ford F750 around, Robins can only be said to be excited. Yes, excited. In fact, no matter who is driving this beast, they will all be excited. Jiang Hai doesn't have his driver's license yet, otherwise there is no way that Robins would be the one currently driving.
"There is no problem. This amount of spending can only be said to be spare change." Jiang Hai said happily.
Yup, what Jiang Hai bought is the Ford F750. Normally the biggest pickup available on market in China is the F650 with a base price tag of 3,000,000 yuan. It is already big enough to be awe-inspiring. However in America, the bigger 750 already existed. The starting price of the 650 here is $35,000 while the 750 is at $48,000.
After inquiring about the prices, Jiang Hai paid the asking price without any haggling or hesitation. Swipe the card and pick up the cars. Furthermore with just this time alone, he paid for 3 trucks. 2 F750 and 1 F650. The 2 750 is for the farm while the 650 is for him to fool around with when he gets his license upgraded.
These car's prices can be considered to be pretty cheap. Compared to those supercars that easily cost a few million and on, these $500,000 pickups can only be said to be a bargain. After paying for these trucks, Jiang Hai drove off with one on the spot. The other 2 alone with Robins' old pickup will of course be delivered back to the estate by Durufle.
Along the way, Jiang Hai experienced first hand the feeling of being superior than everyone else. If he says he wasn't excited then he really is a retard. Of course the one most excited here is Robins; who is driving this beast. Their original plan was to buy the trucks first then go adopt some dogs. Generally there are a very few places which straight up sell dogs in America; especially for likes of cattle dogs. Usually people try to request them from others. If they are rejected, then will adopt some stray dogs under the condition that they are smart enough.
However now with their new car, their plans changed. After a special round trip around the town to satisfy their cravings, they reluctantly drove to the town's animal shelter. When this black beast arrived in front of the animal shelter, all the dogs inside started to bark non stop. This is also the first time a beast of this size appeared in the town. When the workers inside heard the dog's bark, they all walked out to see what the cause is and what appeared infront of them is this monstrous beast.
*Peng* *Peng* Out came Jiang Hai and Robins as they jumped down. This car is seriously big and tall. The footstep to the ground has a distance of almost a meter. But this does not trouble Jiang Hai and Robins at all as they landed on the ground.
"Hi there, how may I help you?" A nervous girl came over and said, baffled.
Although she doesn't understand cars, but seeing the car in front of her, her instincts tell her this car is very expensive. That also means these two are definitely rich. But as to why these rich people are here, she has no clue.
"Um, it's like this. I'm the new owner of the Green Forest, and I'm thinking of raising some cows. So I am currently in need of some cattle dogs, which is why I am here to see if there are any here." Jiang Hai happily explained.
The girl in front of him is around 5'3. Caucasian, a bit chubby with some freckles.
"Oh, so it's like this, follow me." Hearing Jiang Hai is here to adopt pets, although having already guessed their intentions, the girl still smiled.
In these shelters, there are no workers, but only volunteers. It can be said most of the people who work here are all compassionate. What they really want to see is the animals here be adopted by families. Especially rich families like Jiang Hai's.
"Sorry for the inconvenience." Jiang Hai muttered before following the girl in.
As soon as they entered the shelter, Jiang Hai is astonished by it's size. This shelter is really … big. There are many different species here. Not only do they house pet cats and dogs, but also other types as well. In America there really isn't any nature conservation act. As long as you have the money then you can buy (adopt) what you want. The most famous of which is Mike Tyson's tigers. As long as what you raise doesn't hurt people then go ahead, this is also why there are all kinds of pets in America.
Not only is there is normal cats, dogs, fish, birds, hamsters. The unconventional spiders, lizards, snakes, turtles, martens, rabbits and so on. There are also some real predators. Such as the golden eagle that is staring directly at him as soon as he entered the shelter. Behind it is even more hawks, eagles, falcons and other small sized predators.
Apart from these predators, there is also a bunch of snakes in the opposite room. Species such as the golden python and the likes are pretty common. There is also some rare poisonous snakes, like the black mamba, king cobra and so on, here as well. Due to them entering, these beasts all raised their heads and hissed at him from their cages.
"You guys really have quite a selection here." Jiang Hai exclaimed excitingly. He doesn't have many hobbies, but the raising pets is definitely one of them. Especially when it comes to raising predators, no men will say no to them. Sadly the chinese government restricts you from raising them, but now that he is in America, he really wants to try it. Seeing all these animals, he is already making plans for them.
"Yup, you just came to America didn't you? We have pets of all kinds here. The ones here are just the small ones. All the big ones are in the back." The girl said nonchalantly.
Because the American government allows unrestrained raising of pets, there are all kinds of pets in America. But there are always some morons out there who will do everything half heartedly. When they start to raise their pets, they will say they will raise them properly and so and so. But not long after, they will get annoyed with all the this.
Under normal conditions there are two ways to solve this. One is to kill it. This tends to bring in some compensation in China since you can just sell them to stores that specialize in these things, but is very rare in America. The second option would be to just throw them away, which is the option most Americans take. But there is also some policies in place such that these thrown away pets don't end up as stray animals who will cause some pandemic or something.
After passing the migrant birds, snakes, lizards, frogs, hamsters, cat, small and medium sized dogs, they finally arrived at the back of the shelter. Here is where all the big animals are sheltered, but the first thing that appeared in front of Jiang Hai is a freaking bear.
*roar* Sensing the arrival of outsiders, this beast who was originally lying down inside of it's cage suddenly stood up and roared. Seeing this more than 2 meter tall intimidating beast, even Robins began to back away. Yet due to the tattoo on him, Jiang Hai treated these animal's intimidation as nothing. Instead, it led Jiang Hai to examine this bear even more closely. Only to find it missing an eye and bear multiple scars.
"Paul, down! He is a tragic grizzly from Colorado. He was raised up by people since he was a cub. Sadly his previous owner is really a good-for-nothing. The missing eye and all those scars are all caused by them. When we found him, he was on the verge of death, but he at least is alive now. However apart from us, he has a grudge against all other humans." noticing Jiang Hai's interest, the girl explained as she hit the cage. Sure enough, the bear listened to her and lied down again, resuming its previous calmness.
Hearing her explanation, Jiang Hai nodded, but didn't say anything and continued forward. He discovered that this area for large beasts is more like a small zoo than anything else. Apart from the grizzly at the front door, there are also leopards, jaguars, black bears, river boas, and even crocodiles. According to the girl, most of the animals here are not from the Boston area. Rather they mostly came from New York ().
He can't help but acknowledge the fact that rich people are sometimes really abnormal. But honestly, Jiang Hai can also be considered a rich person. Thus, when he saw these animals, he also had thoughts of wanting to raise some. Thinking up to here, Jiang Hai shook his head and put this matter behind him, since this is not the main reason why he is here.
After following the girl to the very back of the shelter, they arrived at the section where all the big hounds are kept. The reason why these dogs are placed behind those predators is because of their sheer volume. As soon as Jiang Hai entered, all those hounds stood up in their cages and stared unwaveringly at the group. From the looks of things, these dogs aren't as friendly as you might think.
When the girl entered a particular room, she said "All the dogs here were all cattle dogs or sheep dogs previously. They were all sent here because either their owner died or because they couldn't be supported anymore. Therefore they don't have grudges against humans. They are pretty easy to handle and all had some training before. You guys can take a look and once you have finished selecting, we can begin the adoption process."

Blue sky, white clouds, lazily lying on the beach, while feeling the gentle breeze coming from the sea. Hounds at the side with marine animals chasing each other around. Cups of unrivaled wine from his personal winery with cuts of prime A grade steaks readily around. For others, life is all about pursuing money, power, and fame, but for Jiang Hai, this type of lifestyle is what he constantly dreamed of.
