The figure was finally in view and it looked to be the young woman Stephen saw in his hospital dreams. "Wake up Stephen." The woman said as she had gotten to the boy's face and pushed him through his own bed. Stephen found himself flying downward in a red and black subspace with no sign of slowing down. "Ahhhhh" Stephen screamed into the abyss of red and black and as soon as he screamed he was back on his bed with everyone in the dorm staring at him. 

"Nightmares Stephen?" one of the boys in the back asked to which Stephen nodded. He got up and dressed ready to take on the day before feeding Gaia and playing with her a bit before going to the hall.  Arriving he was greeted with little bits of laughter from the Gryffindor table, remembering what happened Stephens's face went red as he hurried to sit down. After his greetings to the others, they began eating and discussing events until someone unwelcome messed up their talk.

(I know this is all out of order and that harry was supposed to get the broom after the fluffy thing but honestly I forgot and if you want to drop due to continuity errors it's cool thanks for reading if you still here this might not proceed like plot be warned.)

That, someone, was Draco Malfoy the greased up tool of a kid. "Have fun while you can Potter because once the Quidditch game comes we'll have you wishing you weren't on the team." Draco mocked in his usual brat like tone. Of course, his comment makes Ron defend him like the loyal friend he is. (High Key even though I don't like him he was kinda loyal at times.) 

"Why don't you go back and sit with your snakes Malfoy if you know what's good for you and you can take your friends with you." Ron said proudly "Oh look the little rodent wants to fight, I'll take you guys on any day of the week but if I'm sure we know who would win." Draco arrogantly said, "Yeah I'm sure I would win too." Draco thinking with a smile on his face said "Alright then if you're so sure I challenge you and harry to a wizards duel in the trophy room at midnight do you accept."  Ron hurriedly said, "Oh we accept alright don't be afraid and chicken out." Ron said much to the happiness of Malfoy

Despite Hermione's warning to the boys about it being a trap set up by Malfoy, Ron and Harry still agreed to the Duel and awaited the time to fight. They were so excited in fact the two of them left Hermione and Stephen alone while they talked about all they would do to the boy. "Their such idiots can't they see it's an obvious trap." Hermione cursed as she saw the boys leave the Hall happily. "Well, maybe it's for the best if then if it is a trap." Stephen said, "Are you crazy think of your friends no think of Gryffindor how many points would we lose if they get caught." Hermione objected 

"Well just have to wait and see what happens." Stephen said while shrugging his shoulders "Stephen I can't believe you, I'm going to stop them even if you don't want to help." Hermione says storming away to their class. 'I should just learn to be quiet.' Stephen thought to himself. 

Later that night at around eight o'clock,  Stephen finished his practice a little earlier than usual under the command of Sara. Opening the book Stephen saw the words change before his very eyes. 'Well the translator makes this much easier.' Stephen thought to himself looking at the newly English words.

I flipped through the first few pages because they were all unnecessary magic, well at least to me. The first chapter was how to get better skin and the on saving bad hair, which was unnecessary for a metamorphmagus. I stopped flipping as I read the title of the third chapter 'Hair Magic how would that work?' I began to read the chapter, discovering more and more about what hair magic can do. 

Hair magic according to the book has many different applications. The first was a spell to make the hair as smooth as silk, which was neet but not useful. The second was to make hair harder than Mythril. This did seem useful so I saved it to try out later. The last spell of the chapter was one where you could apply different elements to your hair so I decided to save spell too. After I finished rereading the next chapter I read the last chapter I heard the people moving around in the darkness. 

'That must be Rob and Harry going to go fight Draco, I wonder how Hermione is going to stop them.' I thought to myself looking at the two boys sneaking away. Then deciding it didn't matter to me how she would stop them I went straight into a good dream. The next morning came and at Breakfast, the three of them seemed to be worried about something. "Hey Harry, Hermione, Ron what's wrong with you all, what happened last night?" I asked the three of them.

Though they seemed to be a little nervous to tell what about, seeing this I decided to just drop it and we just talked about other things for the rest of the breakfast. That was until the two Weasley zombies came over. "Hello Stephen." The said normally without any of there twin antics. "Yes what would you two like?" I questioned with a curious gaze that hid the smile that I felt looming on the inside. 

The two hesitated to say anything and kept fidgeting so I decided to mess with them a bit. "Well as much as I would like to stand here and watch each other I have classes go to if you would excuse me." I said as calmly as I could. "Wait, Stephen, we would like for you to lift the curse please." The two of them said.   Acting like I was thinking it over I then asked "Why should I, there's nothing in it for me." the two of them seemed to be taken aback by this. "We don't have anything to offer to you though." Fred probably said, "Oh yes you do the next time you do your little pranks me and whoever I chose can't be in it." Stephen said to them, they thought a little bit before saying. "Deal." and held out their hands for a shake which I accepted. 

"Ok now can you lift the curse." They said,  "I will but we can't do it here meet me at the place where I did the curse and then I will lift it." They nodded and then proceeded to leave. Harry, Ron and I laughed but Hermione who wasn't in the know just looked confused. "You cursed the Weasley twins is that why they were so down these past days?" She questioned, "We all have our secrets right Hermione." I said going back to my food.

"Abraham Lee?"- Lance repeatedly asked and he was bothered right now, well I am even more bothered than what I looked like right now! 

"Yes. Abraham was a very intelligent man. So, in order to face him it takes a lot of courage and faith." 

﻿ 

"I think we learned more enough Mr. Lucifer. Thank you so much!"- I bowed in respect. I guess we are on our way to where Mr. Abraham is....hang on. 

"Hold that thought, I totally forgot about it earlier uhm Mr. Lucifer, do you know Sister Magdallena? She was taken by the poltergeists as what Lance told me before. Mr. Rody the Frankenstein in the first town that owns a toy store. Mrs. Emelda that owns a restaurant that ghosts are her customers. The guardian of the rivers, that Witch. Queen Selena, Mr. Hintch Downfall, King of the Goblins, Alpha of the Wolves, the King and Queen of the Fairy Island and Queen Tiara as well. Do you know all of them or are you just trying to play?" 

"I'm glad you asked. You see, the Poltergeists are one of the huntsmen of Abraham. Sister Magdallena was still alive with their hands. Rody was an old pal of Abraham before he went out like a mad man and they never seen each other way back before he pursue his evil plans because he and Sister Magdallena were once inlove. Mrs. Esmeralda was the sister of Magdallena, they got separated by the war before when they are kids. The Witch's name is Candy which is I found cute though because of her black ribbon on her brown hair was once wanted the help of Selena to get all of the Piris but Selena has a heart for music and entertainment so she didn't helped her out. Queen Selena was my partner before but I choose to set her free to handle her own kingdom. Hintch was my friend who keep me updated about their soul collections and the people's lives whether they are ready to die or not. The King and Queen of the Fairy Island were also my friends since they were performing here on my layer for parties, occasions and lastly, Queen Tiara lost her husband because of the Poltergeist attack on the Mermaid Lagoon years ago. In short, those people you met? I know them all. We are planning to destroy Abraham but we couldn't since he was so strong and he got super powers that are beyond our limit." 

"That was surprising!"- Mina 

"Well I can't imagine that you know them very well"- Calix 

"Yeah, I really thought that you're the typical scary guy with a heart of a stone"- Isaac 

"You kept on creeping us since the beginning though, tsk"- Axel 

"You appeared out of blue which causes us unprepared whenever you came"- Fred 

"You kept giving us clues which I thought everything was a lie"- Connor 

"Do forgive me young men. It was my hobby so please pay no mind about that, stop Abraham as much as possible. We, the monsters and creatures really want the balance between humans and nature to be back the way it used to be. In other words, the rest is up to you now." 

"We won't let you all down, but can these guys be back as humans again? And how about their memories?" 

"Yes, that machine can help them and so as that wand you got. Their memories might come back if you set the restoration of memories from the machines that made them dolls. I'm sure they will be happy to be human again and to get back their memories soon." 

I smiled as he was also smiling back to us. "Thank you so much Mr. Lucifer, where shall we go to have the shorted way to Stray Souls?"\ 

"I got this"- he opened the portal and it was the street. "Go, the time is running out and just be careful. He might change your minds and twist your memories"- he worried. 

"We will be fine, thank you so much!"- I let the guys to jump first so they immediately jumped to the portal and lastly is me. As the portal closes, we all see that it was the same wall that we went in the house of circus. "Gesielle, look!"- Connor pointed and we see that some houses, and even some animals and trees are disappearing. 

"We better move"- Lance uttered. We look at the name on the road: Broken Promises Town 

"This is it, the place where everything started"- Stephen said along with a deep sigh. We entered the gates and see that this was already a ghost town. No one is in here to be seen. "I can still sense some lurking ghosts here"- Mina said. "Probably those Grim Reapers missed on capturing them"- Axel added. "Or the poltergeists are already here watching at us"- Logan said with a gulp. I signed them to stop as I pull out my wand. 

"We can't let them sense us"- I used the wand to make us cloaks that hides us, an invisible cloak. 

"Cool!"- Isaac exclaimed. "Ok, Stephen you lead us"- Calix suggested. "No need, we just need to follow those dolls who are chaining up some kids that are all falling into a long line in order to keep them in one place. I bet they will go to the academy first"- Lance pointed. "Right, we just need to keep our distance"- Diego said, we all nod and we silently follow those kids and tiny creepy dolls on their way. 

"Come on move!!" 

"No time for playing you rascals!!" 

"Get up!!" 

"Who told you to kneel down?!" 

"Move your feet come on!!" 

"There are no happiness in this world!" 

"Only sadness and darkness exists!!" 

"You are all end up as dolls forever!!" 

"Move you tiny shits!!" 

"Your souls will be taken as soon as you become dolls!!" 

We heard those creepy dolls ordering, torturing and commanding those poor kids as they took every step to the academy. I felt myself crying since those kids are all got deep cuts, scratches, wounds, bruises, and even blood on their clothes. We could clearly heard them crying and calling for help. "Gesielle, you better control your emotions. Remember that Mr. Lucifer told us to be careful out here? You don't want your memories to be erased or your souls to be eaten right?"- Lance said from my left and he removed his hood and mine as well as to see my face, he even cupped my cheeks and now I got a good and a closer look unto him. 

I let out a sigh as I was averting my gaze. "I couldn't help it. I am a psychologist and I treated all the kids to be happy as they can be." 

"Damn you Gesielle. Look, right now your not a psychologist but a wizard. Many people and monsters and those creatures are counting on you so you better be stronger than what you see or hear, even if it hurts your heart and feelings. Just damn it, you must learn how to fight your fucking feelings out here or else we will die trying!"- Lance encouragingly told me. 

My eyes widen as I felt more tears, I think I let out some burden on my shoulders. "Tsh, what a shitty thing to see"- Lance suddenly hugged me which causes me to a surprised. I hugged him back and I dont care if I felt some tingly or deep atmosphere around us, so I hug him tight as he did the same to me. 

"The Gesielle that I know was strong. I know that you got it in you. Just let it help you to become stronger." 

By that, I knew that I really got something for Lance as well. I think I'm a sinner right now since there is something in me and I might not be so sure if this was a friendship or not. But I do know that my heart was moving on its own as our hug become more deeper and comforting. Truly, my heart was already beating for this church boy.

Out there was a very perfect-like land


In this present year of 1994, nothing much to have troubles or problems. But there are many folklore and stories from the oldies that tell about Monsters and Scary Nightmares that live everywhere in the land.



A girl who is always asking questions about monsters and tales, however, it would end up to shut her mouth as her parents said; "You don't need to know. Can't you see it?! Everything around our land was already perfect. Monsters and those stories never existed"



She thought about it well and believed in it ever since she was a child;



Not until...



Everything turned upside down to what she thought their land would be.



It all started when someone dropped a mystery box on the porch of her apartment where she and her Grandmother lived.

After April Fool's Day, roughly 10 days were spent on preparations before production began for 'The Shawshank Redemption' at the Mansfield State Penitentiary in Ohio. The arrangements were done in such a short period partly because Laverne and the others worked efficiently, but mainly because Adrian made preparations in advance. For instance, he settled to shoot the prison scene in the Mansfield State Penitentiary and convinced Tim Robbins to play the lead role.
Among the other appointed casts, Morgan Freeman and James Whitmore agreed right away, whereas Bob Gunton considered for some time before he agreed. Needless to say, the fact that Adrian directed and produced two reputable films with high box office sales, as well as his 'wizard director' title, made things easier for him.
Nonetheless, Tim Robbins rejected the offer at the beginning, and his explanation was that the character was not suitable for him! Adrian who was drinking water when he heard the news almost spat it out because it was hilarious—of course, it was only funny to him—so he decided to pay Tim Robbins a visit.
"He helped those people feel wonderful things again, and he let those who were restricted by the system see a glimpse of hope. He's painful, forbearing, stubborn, and… Perfect. I can't think of anyone else, Tim, I can't think of anyone else who will fit the role more than you will." In Tim Robbins' home that was located on Floss Street, Adrian spoke with rich feelings as he enjoyed the black tea made by Tim's soul mate, the famous Susan Sarandon.
"There are many actors in Hollywood who are more outstanding than me, no?" Robbins seemed to be firm with his answer. Clearly, he was slightly moved at one point, thus Adrian did not know why he rejected the offer.
"Yes, I admit it. At the very start, I considered asking Tom Hanks to play the role, but I concluded that you're still the best fit. I don't know why Tim. I watched almost all of your performances, including 'Howard the Duck', 'Cadillac Man', and 'The Player' which just screened a few days ago. Honestly, none of the images are suitable, but my instinct still tells me that you're the Andy who won't give up," Adrian said in an extremely serious tone, "I believe my instinct, which is why I didn't ask that you to come for an audition."
Subsequently, he turned to look at Susan Sarandon. "Isn't that how it should be, Susan? Some birds can't be locked up, because their feathers are too bright. When they fly away, you know that it's a sin to trap them, so you'll feel uplifted. Isn't Tim a bird like that?"
Although Adrian did not know why Robbins rejected him, he knew that he needed to use a side approach if a direct approach was ineffective. As expected, Sarandon who saw the script began persuading Robbins, and the two of them debated softly at a corner for some time before Robbins accepted the offer.
Afterward, Adrian found out that Robbins rejected the offer in the first place mainly because he just finished the publicizing work for 'The Player'. As such, he planned to spend time with Sarandon for a few days, but he no longer had an excuse since she suggested he take the job.
"Everyone, pay attention, this is the first scene for 'The Shawshank Redemption', and I hope that everyone can work together well, thank you," Adrian said to the crowd loudly through a speaker as he stood on a lift.
The first scene was Andy being sent to prison. Adrian chose this scene to be the first because it was easier to control, and he hoped that the extras could use this time to practice.
While the exterior of the Mansfield State Penitentiary was well-maintained, such that many films were shot there, the interior was terrible. Renovations to the place would cost more than building a set in a film studio, so only outdoor scenes were shot there. However, most of the outdoor shots were big scenes, and they did not have enough extras at that moment, thus Adrian even contacted the penitentiary to have a number of their workers make a cameo. With the number of people, even the slightest problem would require them to retake shots.
"Get everyone ready, we'll begin a test shot in 10 minutes," Adrian contacted the people below through a walkie talkie. He was on the lift with the camera at that moment, and as he previously mentioned to Spielberg, he still lacked the ability to handle big scenes. If he could actually make a great shot this time, he would be a qualified director.
"Action!" Following the command, the shooting began. It was a wide scenic shot that overlooked the area, which started from the front of the penitentiary to around the field, then moved toward the mesh wire entrance before it stopped. It was a big test for the person behind the camera.
It was Adrian's first time shooting from so high up, hence it was inevitable that he would be afraid. Nevertheless, his negative emotions vanished as soon as he held the camera and focused on shooting the scene.
'Maybe deep down in my heart, I have a bit of idealism.' Adrian laughed at himself after he got off the lift.
There was no problem with the scene—if the scene was messed up even when the preparations were completely done, no acting was needed, and only a few extras had to run around, the director and the producer could be considered useless—but numerous problems arose for the subsequent shots.
Since the setting was between the 40s to 50s, all tools used had to match the era. Outfits were not a problem, but transportation was an issue. Most of the vehicles used in that era could only be found in museums or had become personal collections, let alone the vehicle used to escort someone to prison. Thanks to the penitentiary, they managed to get a usable one before the shooting started, but it was too old, where it kept breaking down every ten feet.
Apart from that, there were many bloopers, a few people who kept getting their lines wrong, and some who even pushed the vertical mesh wire over as they were too excited. Luckily, nobody was injured.
Though Adrian expected those situations to happen, he could not help but feel frustrated, yet he had to hold it in to repeat the shots. That being said, it was comforting that Morgan Freeman, Tim Robbins, James Whitmore, and Bob Gunton were wonderful performers, especially Tim and Morgan who grasped their character's traits easily. Thus, their shots were completed smoothly.
"Why am I in such a hurry? Because I don't have much time. According to my plan, it'll be best to finish both the outdoor scenes and indoor scenes in three weeks," Adrian answered when he was questioned by Nathan White.
Nathan was the producer sent by Universal Pictures and was only in charge of reporting the financial expenditures of the crew to the company. Universal was rather hesitant about investing in the film at the start because they thought that Adrian was producing a film that was adapted from one of Stephen King's horror novels, but they eventually concluded that it was worth the investment based on Adrian's performance. However, they later realized that the novel was one of the novels from Stephen King's medium-length collection that received the worst reviews, hence they were troubled.
It was a well-known fact that Stephen King was famous for his horror novels, but it was the exact reason he was often criticized by mainstream critics. While the author was not bothered, it was inevitable for him to feel angry after a long time, so he wrote a few medium-length novellas that were absolutely unrelated to ghosts and devils—other than the last novella that involved the supernatural—then combined them into a collection. Sadly, once the collection went on the market, the publisher told him to just focus on writing horror novels.
The remark came as a huge impact for Stephen King, who then stopped writing similar artistic novels. At the same time, he rarely talked about the collection, which was why Adrian was surprised that Laverne acquired the adaptation rights of 'The Shawshank Redemption' so quickly.
Given the circumstances, it was hard for Adrian to convince Universal. After all, the novel collection's sales were terrible, and he was still new. Had he produced 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels', and 'Memento' in two years instead, Universal would take the gamble without hesitation, but they did not know how the current film would turn out to be. Fortunately, Brandt who was asked to give them advice said something that gave them confidence.
"Think about it, gentlemen. When we wanted to get the scripts of 'Scream' and 'American Pie' from him, what was he doing?" Brandt asked them.
Precisely, how many directors in Hollywood were like Adrian? In the end, knowing that he was going to work with Spielberg, Universal invested 10 million dollars in the film, and they sent Nathan to report the expenditures to the company as a way to show their trust.
"You're planning to finish this film in 6 weeks? But the schedule states that it's estimated to go on for 2 months." Nathan was clearly shocked. He initially approached Adrian upon seeing him grumbling.
"Plans are always done to prepare for the worst." Adrian shrugged. "As long as everyone performs well without making simple mistakes, I can definitely finish shooting every scene in 6 weeks."
"But…" Nathan was speechless. A total investment of over 20 million dollars was considered above-average in Hollywood, and in terms of shooting a film, the investment, its speed, and its quality were never directly proportional. He wondered, 'Looks like Adrian's used to shooting very quickly in the past, so he's doing the same now, but…'
"With me, speed and quality are directly proportional." Adrian who seemed to have read his mind smiled. "I know that you might not believe me now, but I'll prove to you that I'm good at creating miracles!"
Following that, he walked toward the camera without looking back, then called out to everyone else, "Alright, fellas, break time's over, let's continue!"


In the ‘90s era, Adrian Cowell was just a rich young man living it up in Los Angeles who had spent years in indulgence and often caused trouble. Unable to allow his behavior to continue, his parents changed their will before their passing and he was no longer able to live as extravagantly as he did before. However, Adrian's fate took a turn one night while trying to fix his bedside lamp which led to Zhang Haoxuan, a man from the future who had time-traveled after being intoxicated, to possess his body.
Assuming his new identity as ‘Adrian’, he utilizes his absurd memory for films in his former life as Zhang Haoxuan, as well as Adrian’s wealth and connections, to replicate films that have been produced in the future — determined to dominate the Hollywood scene.
Watch Adrian as he rises to be the king of Hollywood, a figure who will be envied by many!


Welcome to my story, and good luck going forward.

!! Disclaimer you're reading this on your own accord. This note has minor spoilers, but overall it will not affect your reading experience if you stick around. This note is mostly addressed to the newer guys who are confused about my story or feel like dropping it when they didn't even pass 1-5% of the story, not the old ones who stuck around and got the taste of what I am about.

This note of mine is like a guide since it got to my attention that some people are struggling to understand what my story is actually.
So let's kick in with the first set of questions. Note, if you have any questions you can address them in the comments.

Q: Is this novel One Piece fanfic?
A: It's indeed a one piece fanfic, just that it is a unique spin that I bet no one wishes to make because it's too complicated and not many references on the original story.

When you think about One Piece, you instantly get your thought to that pirate world and rubber boy constantly yelling in your years, "I'll become the Pirate King!?" (with a huge ass Plot Armor on himself)
Well, in this spin of mine, I take the story from the perspective of someone who doesn't belong to those factions, pirate, marine, or revolutionary.

MC path will be the Monarch one in the literal meaning. We will see him turning a shattered country embroiled in conflict and schemes into something great.

But here I go back to the first question. It is still a One Piece fanfic? Yes, why not? You have the world, the powers, heck, even the characters original to the story, but you'll see them appearing slower because they are just minor characters. Even the Straw-hats are medium size chess pieces in this chess game board.

Q: Why are you trying to do such a spin on the story?
A: Why I even bother making this fanfic when most fandoms just want their rubber boy or some guy building a harem with every single One Piece female character (except the ugly ones, but hey, I've seen everything going around the fandom)
To be honest with you, I thought when reading some One Piece fanfictions bad or worse, not going to judge who got really popular (the bandwagon hype). Still, I've never seen one drop of fanfictions that are doing genuine kingdom building in a story/series which has a very detailed world and intricate network of trading or whatnot.
So here I'm doing my spin. Some hate it, others like it (you can see this on the number of power stones and collections I have) - Quoting a great scientist's "Not great not terrible "numbers.

Q: Can you guide the average reader who doesn't have the patience to read your failed Volume 1?
A: It wasn't that failed if you try to read it. But for the average reader, this is already too much to handle, so I can give them a brief summary of what goes on in Volume 1 and let them go toward Volume 2, which is fast-paced and probably to their liking.
The first act of Volume 1 starts with the prologue, which is more of an introduction to who my MC is, Vlad Dracula (the historical guy, no Count Dracula, but you'll see him become one)
The second act of Volume 1 begins with MC getting captured (read yourself if curious how), some shit happens, and he's sold to slavery (for details, go to the story)
The third act of Volume 1 is bigger. More events are going on here, from meeting some secondary characters, working in slavery, some killing(you'll get the gist if you read it). Followed by finding the devil fruit (I'll not go into bigger spoils, but to get this DF, there's a challenge for MC, so it is not a freehand)
After he gets his DF, he then escapes the mine with a big boom, gets out in whatever state he is in (better find out), and the first Volume ends with that.


Q: Okay, you explained for the average reader not wanting to sit and read your long ass Volume 1, but what about the One Piece girls? You're not crazy to actually not include them, right?
A: There will be 3 love interests. The first love interest the reader would see is an OC. However, bear with me. It's fine, nothing cringe. Followed by Nico Robin and Boa Hancock, it's a surprise which one you'll get to see first. Maybe Boa Hancock, since her island is relatively closer to the kingdom, Vlad is set to be. Or it could be Nico Robin when going to the Grand Line? Sincerely I don't know and not even bother myself (I'm some sort of weird Hydra of Pantser and Plotter)

Q: How long do you plan to take your story?
A: I have no idea if my plotter self comes for the save, maybe 250-320 chapters. But the Pantser in me wants to say that I could go may be lower, depending on my motivation. For example, comments on chapters, expectations for following chapters, etc., etc. Lastly, Power stones and collections, if I get a lot, obviously that makes me happy and raises my drive to write. But when I get nothing, story short, I'll just write how I see them befitting myself, since no feedback or any of that thing. It's more like writing for yourself, which instead makes you lead to drop it.

In conclusion, I'll try my best not to drop this project and see it get done.

A warlord, someone who brought only nightmarish visions for his enemy in an era where life and death were just at a flicker distance. 

The warlord was one who stood above the rest, but even with this grace, he slowly descended, falling abruptly in life, losing his power, reputation, and prestige. 

In his decadence, he, who was abandoned by life, woke himself in a mysterious realm, some people would call Limbo, a realm, between the realm of death, Tartarus, and the realm of the living. A place where all damned souls, unredeemable who lost faith in God, were gathered.

‘Vlad, oh great leader, after so many years of fighting the enemy, you have fallen so low that even God doesn’t want embrace to you and let you to his realm.’

Yet, salvation came in a more sinister way, having only one choice to escape this prison of souls, accept his gift or remain forevermore trapped into this realm, where souls can’t escape.

With only one choice, he shook the hands of the devil and journeyed out into the unknown, freed of his soul constraints, in a new world out of the world governors' jurisdictions.

In such a new realm, world,  his starts would be unlike what he experienced in his first life, but not far away from what he lived through. 
Nevertheless, every struggle he would experience would make him stronger, slowly climbing the ladder of the world's power structure until he would acclaim the title no one since that past world era had.

-	The path of the story is unlike the original story where the author would focus only on one POV (pirate perspective of life), instead here, I will try to integrate all of them, from pirates, marines, revolutionaries, and lastly, the Royal Faction who the story will focus on. At first, you might find the story similar to an original story, but keep in mind, this story will slowly morph, adding in all the elements of Oda’s series.  Don’t be an idiot to judge the story from all the first chapters because this story is told slowly.

-	Keeping in mind all the readers with different tastes, this story, when it reaches the mid-game of the content (maybe chapter 200-300 it will turn into something similar to a harem theme). Still, I will mention this, if you are skeptical that this will be some garbage story where MC focuses on R18 all day long, you are mistaken, Vlad is a person who already lived a life. He wouldn’t be horny like the MC’s from other stories that visible didn’t touch a woman in their life.  The love interest circle will be composed of three ladies with vibrant personalities, their own minds, and life choices and will not be like leeches on the MC.

While Tiqa and Elisabeth were playing with the girls in their playroom Cedar finished eating and was headed to the Training Room for sword practice. 

Once Cedar got to the room he saw Stephen practicing sword fighting on a wooden dummy. The Training Room had brown padded floors, lights that were built into the ceiling, 4 wooden dummies for practicing on, a punching bag, a case of swords with rubber tips (for practicing with) hanging on the wall, a picture of a Cross hanging on the wall, closets that were full over protective gear (for people who were sword fighting other people), a first aid kit that hung on the wall, and an open area away from the dummies to practice sword fighting on another person. The color of the walls were light tan and the ceiling was left white. 

Cedar looked at Stephen and said "practicing already? Sword practice isn't for 30 minutes." Stephen kept practicing and said "yeah well I wanted to get a head start." Cedar said "you getting a head start on sword practice? You must not be feeling like yourself because you are always late for sword practice." Stephen said "yeah well things change." Cedar said "what's wrong man?" Stephen asked "what do you mean?" Cedar answered "uh because you never do this unless you're angry. So man what's wrong?" Stephen stopped practicing, looked at Cedar, and said "Princess Tiqa." Cedar chuckled and said "ah. The princess you keep staring at all the time." Stephen said "she won't even speak to me. Its like she hates me or something. Everytime I get close she runs away and when I look at her she either makes a comment or looks away." Cedar said "well she told me to tell you hello so I'm pretty sure she doesn't hate you." Stephen said "she did?!" Cedar chuckled and said "yes and her eyes lit up when she said it." Stephen said "she said hello to me? Me of all people!" Cedar said "you really like Princess Tiqa don't you?" Stephen said "well I would like to get to know her better is all. Its just nice to know she doesn't hate me." Cedar said "I've never seen you so excited to hear hello from a princess a day in my life." Stephen smiled and said "well things change." Cedar chuckled and said "I guess things do change. Now that, that's dealt with come fight me. I want to beat you again!" Cedar grabbed a sword from out of the case on the wall and Stephen said "alright lets go." 

The hours pasted of Cedar and Stephen sword practicing and Tiqa, Driaka, Susan, Jenessa, and Elisabeth playing. Dinnertime rolled around and Catherine, Cedar, Jenessa, Mark, Susan, Stephen, Driaka, and Tiqa all were sitting in the dinning room eating a steak dinner that was prepared for them by Justin. 

Mark said "so how was everyone's day?" Susan said "Tiqa taught us to walk with the book on our heads with out making it fall." Catherine smiled and said "oh did she? Haven't you been practicing that for months?" Susan said "yes a lot of months but we got it in our first class with Tiqa. She's a really good teacher." Jenessa said "unlike that grouchy Ms.Sky! All she does is yell at us." Susan said "yeah and she gives us mean looks!" Mark said "Ms.Sky does? Hmm we'll have to talk to her about that but you Tiqa must be quite the teacher." Tiqa said "I just love kids is all." Driaka said "no Tiqa your the best teacher in the world." Tiqa smiled and said "you guys are just really great learners. Very easy to teach when taught right." Catherine said "Tiqa you have a great way with kids." Catherine looked over at Stephen seeing him stare at Tiqa and said "and Stephen how was your day?" Without taking his eyes off of Tiqa he said "what a perfect princess she was." Catherine said "STEPHEN how was your day?" Stephen hastily looked over at Catherine and said "huh what?" Mark sighed and said "your mother was asking you how your day was." Stephen said "oh um I had a day great. I did practice fighting sword with Tiqa and practice title with princess natural Cedar." Driaka, Susan, and Jenessa giggled and Catherine said "now girls settle down." The girls settled down saying "sorry," and Tiqa bursted out into laughter. Everyone at the table stared at her and she said while trying to fight back the laughter "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, its just Stephen is so cute when he trips over his words. Its so funny." Stephen, Catherine, and Mark smiled and the girls started to giggle. Tiqa stopped laughing and said "well Stephen I thank you for the compliment you were trying to give me. I had a great day practicing my title with you, you are quite the gentleman." Stephen's face turned red and he said "uh...um...ah... Th...ank... thank you Tiqa Princess... I mean I meant Princess Tiqa." Tiqa chuckled and said "your welcome Prince Stephen." Catherine said "and Cedar how was your day?" Cedar smiled and said "today I had a great lunch." Driaka said "and he played with us! Cedar was the brown horse." Cedar said "yes I was the brown horse and it was great." Catherine said "well I'm glad everyone had a great day today." Tiqa said "it sure was a really great day." 

An hour pasted and dinner was over. Mark said "alright Susan and Jenessa time for bed." Tiqa said "you too Driaka." Susan asked "do we have to?" Jenessa said "yeah we aren't even tired." Driaka said "I'm so awake I could stay up all night." Catherine said "yes you girls have to. You have classes tomorrow." The girls said "awe," and Tiqa said "I'll tell you what, how about I tell you three a bedtime story? That is if its alright with King Mark and Queen Catherine." The girls cheered and Jenessa and Susan said "oh can she, can she?" Catherine and Mark smiled and said "alright." The girls cheered, Jenessa and Driaka each grabbed one of Tiqa's hands, Susan said "come you can tell us a story in my bedroom and we can have another sleep over," the girls cheered while Tiqa chuckled and said "alright girls lead the way," and they took Tiqa to Susan's room while Stephen stared at Tiqa leaving.

Cedar said "well I must be going off to my room as well. Sword practice took a lot out of me. Goodnight." Mark and Catherine said "goodnight Cedar," and Cedar left. Catherine said "Stephen?" Stephen said "yes mama." Catherine asked "shouldn't you be getting to bed as well?" Stephen said "hmm I will mama I promise." Stephen left the room and Catherine said "our boy is in love Mark." Mark chuckled and said "I've noticed. He has that same look on his face that I had when I use to stare at you." Catherine chuckled and said "awe yes I remember that. It took you forever to even speak to me." Mark said "yes but I'm glad I finally did."

While Catherine and Mark were talking Tiqa was sitting in Susan's room. Susan sat on her bed and wore a set of blue and purple pj pants and shirt. She got under her covers and the door to her room opened. Driaka and Jenessa entered the room closing the door behind her. Driaka wore a white and gold night gown while Jenessa wore a dark blue pj shirt and dark blue pj pants. Jenessa laid on Susan's bed while Driaka sat criss cross on her bed. Tiqa pulled up a chair next to the bed and asked "are you girls ready for a bedtime story?" The girls replied "yes please tell us." Tiqa said "okay. Once there was a lady named Mia who lived in a far off kingdom. Both gorgeous inside and out Mia walked humbly and had a generous heart caring for anyone and everyone she could. From animals to people Mia would look for ways to give and spread the love God showed her to anyone she could. Even though Mia was very happy giving she longed for one thing, someone to marry. Well one day on her trip to the town she would finally get what she longed for." Susan said "oooo Mia is going to get married!" Jenessa said "I hope so!" Tiqa chuckled and said "lets find out if she does. So one day Mia went to the town square to get some ingredients for some bread she was making. She had already bought some flour, baking soda, and yeast and was headed to buy salt next. On her way to buy salt she was bumpped into by a little girl who knocked them both over making Mia drop all of her items to the ground spilling them everywhere. Now this little girl had light brown hair and hazel brown eyes. The little girl wore a silver dress and black flats. Mia got up and helped the little girl up saying 'oh my are you alright?' The little girl said I'm fine but your items.' Mia smiled and said 'nevermind the items I can get more.' The little girl said 'no, no it wasn't very proper of me to be running around like this. I should've been more careful.' Mia said 'accidents happen. Its okay.' The little girl said 'I'm so sorry.' Mia said 'honestly its okay little one. My name is Mia and what's your's?' The little girl said 'oh where are my manners? My name is...' The little girl was interrupted by the the voice of a man yelling 'Princess Alana.' The little girl said 'Princess Alana.' Mia said 'oh I didn't know I was talking to a princess," and curtisied. Alana said 'yeah I'm here visiting my cousin Prince Lance. I just know its going to be BORING!' Mia chuckled and asked 'why do you say that?' Alana replied 'because he's boring. Lance use to be really fun but now that he's about to become king he's become boring and grouchy. My parents thought it would be a good idea to send me here for the summer because I use to love his visits but now he's all stuffy and strict and I just don't want to go.' Mia said 'awe well maybe its because he's under a lot of stress. Being king could be very stressful for him.' Alana said 'hmm I never thought of it that way.' The same man's voice yelled 'Princess Alana,' Alana yelled 'alright I'm coming," and said to Mia 'I have to go.' Mia said 'goodbye princess.' Alana said 'hey maybe you can visit me at the castle! You seem like fun.' Mia chuckled and said 'well I don't know if I can.' Alana said 'please Mia!' Mia said 'alright, I'll try to come.' Alana smiled and said 'alright come tomorrow at 4'o clock sharp.' Mia said 'alright Princess Alana.' Alana ran off while yelling 'goodbye Mia.' Mia yelled back 'goodbye Princess,' and that girls is where we end tonight's story." The girls said "awe," and Driaka said "but I want to know what happens to Mia." Jenessa said "yeah does she get married and what does Princess Alana have to do with it?" Tiqa smiled and said "you'll just have to find out the next time I tell you a story." The girls said "awe." Tiqa stood up, put the chair back, and left while saying "goodnight girls." The girls said "goodnight Tiqa." Tiqa close the door behind her and saw Stephen sitting on the floor next to the door. Tiqa gasped and said "Prince Stephen." Stephen stood up and said "I uh... I was just on my way to my room when I heard your story... and I wanted to listen... your really good at telling stories Tiqa Princess... I mean Tiqa Princess... I mean I meant oh no." Tiqa smiled and said "I know what you meant, thank you Prince Stephen." Stephen smiled and she said "well if you would excuse me I must be getting off to bed." Stephen said "hey um... I um... you breakfast like it you don't? I mean you breakfast like don't you... I mean..." Tiqa interrupted saying "yes I like breakfast." Stephen said "oh uh ah I like breakfast too." Tiqa said "that's good to know," and turned around to walk away but before she could Stephen said "will you eat breakfast with me tomorrow?" Tiqa turned around, smiled, and said "of course I will." Stephen smiled and said "meet me in the garden at 7'o clock." She said "will do Prince Stephen." He grabbed her hands and said "I can't wait. I'll see tomorrow morning." She said "me either." A voice of a woman said "ah there you are Princess Tiqa." Stephen let go of her hands, she turned around, and they both saw Elisabeth walking towards them. Elisabeth stood in front of them, curtisied, and said "Prince Stephen, Princess Tiqa." Tiqa and Stephen said "Elisabeth." Elisabeth asked "shall I take you to your bedroom Princess Tiqa?" Tiqa replied "yes, I'll see you tomorrow Stephen," and Elisabeth escorted Tiqa to her bedroom while Stephen walked to his bedroom. 

Once Elisabeth and Tiqa got to her bedroom Tiqa said "Elisabeth please make sure I'm up and ready before 7. I'm having breakfast in the garden with Stephen and I'm going to need your help with my wardrobe." Elisabeth smiled and said "oooo I'll make sure your up extra early." Tiqa smiled and said "thank you Elisabeth." Elisabeth left the room while saying goodnight and closing the door behind her. Tiqa took a shower, changed into her night clothes, said her Prayers, and went to bed excited for what was going to happen tomorrow.

Tiqa was 11 years old when she got her little sister. She had great parents, and peaceful household, or so she thought. On her 12th birthday she was knocked out and left at an unfamiliar place with her sister by her very own parents. Now left alone in the cold Tiqa was forced to take care of herself, and her sister. The years went on with out any help from the outside world she took on the role of the parents, providing her little sister with all the love, and care she possibly could. Her sister grew to be a happy little girl, but Tiqa Prayed of a day when her knight a shining armor would come, and save them both, and soon her Prayers will be answered.

Buying Time
Aden. Year 5L 15/9

Ten officers who had just returned from Elisium, were taken straight to the Grand Palace. The King was waiting for them. They could understand King's anxiety. He would be desperate to get some news about his ambitious mission. But unfortunately, the news they had was not very pleasant for King Samuel.
The last day of the Crossing had been quite strange for them. They had been expected to return to Aden with HighMinister Olivier and Minister Malcolm. Both of them didn't show up at the time of departure. When they went to HighMinister's residence the head of guards told them that both of them had done some heavy drinking the night before, and weren't waking up. They tried their best to wake them up, but to no avail. The chief of army Henry, whom everyone had expected to be appointed as the HighCommander of Elisium base, was quite unexpectedly informed a night ago, that he must accompany the HighMinister back to Aden. Now since the HighMinister himself wasn't going back, Henry decided to stay back as well. Furthermore Commander Desmond was missing since the last night. They had looked for him everywhere inside the Ruins, but he was nowhere to be found. Soldiers suspected that he might have been attacked by some rogue citizens of Elisium, during his stroll at the riverfront. They were now searching for his body.
King Samuel greeted the returning officer in the large hall of his palace. But rather than the king they were more surprised to see the person who accompanied him. Commander Desmond was seated besides the King.
"Well I know you are returning from a tiresome journey. I know the last week or so has been very very tough on you. And you all must have stories to tell, and that is the precise reason why you all have been called here."
Stephen, the head of weapons department, who had decided to go with the army to monitor the performance of their weapons on this mission, asked the King, "We didn't get your point, Your Highness."
"I will make my point very clear Stephen," replied Samuel, "the stories of that world must remain away from the people of this world. A time will surely come, when you can tell all those stories to your children and grandchildren, but this is not that time. No one must know what happened in Elisium. Me and Desmond have a story ready to be told to the Council and you all must endorse that story."
"You want us to tell lies to the Council and the people of Aden," Stephen's tone was filled with dissent, "You want to cover up your failures with fiction and fabrication. You took a bold decision and now you must be strong enough to face its consequences."
"I will face the consequences when the time comes," replied Samuel, "but this is not the right time. Aden is not prepared to handle the chaos this situation might lead to. Some serious work has to be done before I can admit to my failures and give up the throne."
"All you are trying to do is to save your throne," said Stephen, "All this is an attempt for a cover up. Your one bad decision lead to enormous bloodshed. Thousands were killed. Your hands are besmirched with innocent blood. You cannot continue as King. We will not tell lies and we will not become accomplices in your crimes."
"I knew it would be difficult for you to understand my decision," replied Samuel, "but believe me my intentions are truly noble. What I am doing is for the betterment of Aden."
"That is the same thing you told when you sent those troops to Aden," said one of the officers.
"Yes, but due to my naivety I was tricked into going down that path," said Samuel, "what I am going to do now is from the depth of my heart. I am just trying to undo some of my wrongdoings, and for doing that I need time. And to get that time I need your support."
"We will not support you with lies," said Stephen, "we don't trust your decisions any more."
Samuel let out a sigh and shook his head. "Your families have been moved into some houses inside the Royal courtyard. Since being the brave officers, who risked their lives for Aden, you have been bestowed the honor to stay inside these premises. You and your families will be under our protection. And you don't want your protector to turn against you? Your son Stephen, such a sweet kid he is, was playing in the courtyard this morning. You don't want him to meet an accident."
Stephen was outraged on hearing that, "You are threatening to harm our families? How can you stoop to such depths?"
From within Samuel was filthy with himself. Trying to intimidate someone by threatening to harm his family, his children. What had he turned into? But he wasn't able to think of any other ideas. Buying their silence was of utmost importance to him, and if threatening them was the way to go, he had to do it.
"I don't want to harm any of your families, until and unless you force me to do so," Samuel said clearly giving them a warning, "No one, not even your families, must know the truth about this mission. You all will be closely watched by my men. Anywhere you go you will be followed. If any story, even a rumor, regarding what happened in Tenebra comes out, you all will face the consequences. One person's mistake might prove costly to all of you, and your families. So seal your lips and just repeat what me and Desmond tell you to say."
"You can seal our lips, but how will you seal lips of thousands of men who will return in the next Crossing. Will you reside them all inside the Royal courtyard and threaten their families?"
"No, I don't intend to do any such thing," Samuel replied with a wry smile, "As I told you I am ready to face the consequences of what I did when the time comes. And hopefully by that time you all will also be able to understand that why I actually did what I did. Till that time just help me with your silence."
"You haven't left us with much of a choice," said Stephen.
"Believe me, not having a choice is sometimes a blessing in disguise, because wrong choices lead to disasters," Samuel replied with a hint of sadness in his voice, "And bearing the burden of those disasters just crushes your soul."
None of the officers was sympathetic towards Samuel. But Samuel had put on a strong enough performance to convince all these officers that if they opened their mouths, it would have dire consequences. Not just for them, but also for their families and none of them wanted to risk the lives of their families. No one had actually ever faced threats like that and they didn't know how to counter that. To give in to the demands of the King seemed like the only possible solution.
Next morning a meeting of the Council of Aden was called. Desmond gave a comprehensively fabricated account of what happened in Tenebra. Desmond mentioned in detail how the people of Tenebra were preparing to launch an attack on Aden in the next Crossing. They were building an army and forging huge amount of weapons. But when they saw the might of the Army of Aden, its armored vehicles, its sophisticated weapons and its trained personnel, they realized they were not prepared to take it on. They recognized the fact that their bows and arrows will be no good against the guns of Aden and they stood no chances of winning.  As a result, he Council of the Ruins sued for peace and the HighMinister as per the orders of the King negotiated a peace deal with them. As per the peace deal, their army will be disbanded, all their weapons will be seized and they will be not be allowed to develop any more weapons. An army base will be created inside the Ruins to guard over Tenebra and ensure that the terms of the peace treaty are not violated. Aden's forces will be allowed to mine the Star-Rocks and as a sign of goodwill and cooperation, in return of their abiding by the peace treaty, the people of Tenebra will be provided with the technology to help raise their standards of living.
"This sounds too good to be true," said one of the Council member.
"Well our King had foreseen all this, and his plan worked out just as expected," replied Desmond.
"And where is the HighMinister Olivier? Wasn't he supposed to return?" asked another Council member.
"HighMinister so much wanted to return, but being a skilled diplomat his presence was required there," replied Desmond, "the drafting of peace treaty was going on and there were many small details which needed to be finalized. I am afraid none of us army people is skilled in the field of diplomacy, so the HighMinister decided to stay there and sent me with the news."
"Olivier seems to love that place," quipped one of the Council members, "he was so eager to return there. Anyways where are Malcolm and Henry."
"Minister Malcolm, being the resource minister, wanted to ensure a steady supply of Star-Rocks, and I must add that in just one day he was able to push in a lot of Star-Rocks into the whirlpool. He stayed there to formulate a proper plan of mining the Star-Rock and bringing them here in next Crossing. Commander Henry was busy setting up the army base in the Ruins. You all can understand that the situation there is a little tense. Commander Henry decided to stay there to set up the army base and make sure that no untoward incident happens to tarnish the success of this mission."
Desmond and Samuel had prepared answers for all the questions. Many council members, specially those few who were privy to Olivier's plans, weren't convinced but they couldn't find any flaw in Desmond's story. To add to that, all the returning officers chimed in the same story. There was nothing to point a finger at. Olivier's accomplices, who were sure of some foul-play, had no evidence to work with. They had no option but to accept this story, till the next crossing, when all the troops return and the truth is laid bare.
Through fabrications and threats, Samuel had somehow managed to buy some time. He wasn't sure whether he would be able to hide the truth for seven whole years. So whatever time he had in his hands was crucial.
Crucial for himself, for his family, and for the future of Aden.

Aden and Elisium are two identical worlds. From landscapes to climate, they are indistinguishable in every aspect. But perhaps the most astonishing fact about them is that every person in one world has a duplicate in the other. A perfect copy. As per the cosmic designs, only one of the two worlds develops during a loop (442 years) whereas the other remains stagnant. With the turn of every loop, the tide turns and the underdeveloped world starts to gain ascendancy. This whole process called Transition is triggered by a Transitioner, with the help of the Amulet of Transition. This story follows the journeys of three men, in three different timelines, that affect the fortunes of the two worlds. Solomon, who leaped into the Abyss and arrived in the other world to trigger the Transition. Andrews, who accidentally slipped into the whirlpool and opened the doors for Aden to annex Elisium. And Moses, who was thrown into the whirlpool, only to discover in the other world that he is the chosen one and is destined to bring about the next Transition. Although he has the powerful amulet that can control the elements at his disposal, odds are still heavily stacked against him. To achieve his goal, Moses not only has to fight the forces of Aden to liberate Elisium, but he also has to bring down the mighty empire of Aden. Does he succeed? And how does her cousin and birthday-twin Jennifer inherit his powers to become the Savior? What role does she play in this whole saga?
(Note: This is one of the leading books on another platform which I have decided to publish here as well)

Obviously, I don't know how it feels like to be pregnant. I only know the fear of the pain that comes to me frequently in the place where a baby should live and the dark thought that I will never have the choice to have children because my own body won't let me.
Boy, I write really long sentences.
Anyway, I spent an entire day with my lola last weekend, and she talked about the wars that she lived through. Back in Vigan, they had a basement where they hid all the beautiful girls in their family whenever the Japanese would raid their town.
I've also been intrigued by Afrofuturism lately. I've been looking for books by Octavia Butler—if you know where I can get a copy of any of her books or where I can read her short stories online legally, let me know. This one book, Kindred, stuck to me. It's about a time travelling woman who meets her ancestors and is given a choice between allowing violence to happen to her ancestor and live in the future or to stop it and risk never existing at all. Wow.
Anyway, this is one of those stories that won't let me write other things until I put it on paper. It's been keeping me up at night for an entire week. I couldn't read anything else. I can't add new chapters into that other project. I can't even sleep even when I'm sleepy. Stephen King said that a good idea will stick to you no matter what. I wish I knew that it would keep me up at night like a serialized nightmare until I give into what it wanted me to do.
I don't know if I'll keep this story online long. I might take it down after a month or so if I still don't know what to do with it by then. 
But at least, finally, it's done, and I can move on to other things. And only Malaya will keep up.
Tell me what you think of this story?

A pregnant woman finds herself travelling back in time to meet her great grandmother on the cusp of World War 2 in the Philippines when the Japanese raided barrios for their most beautiful women.

Sometimes, there are things in life that stops you from doing the things you want to do. There are things that you can change, and things that you can't. More often than not, some difficult choices had to be made in order to make your life a little less stressful.

Reinesse: Monday, 7:15 is the flag ceremony. One time i only finished doing my stuff by 7:14, but i still haven't wore my socks or buttoned my uniform, so i literally ran towards the flag ceremony while buttoning my blouse.

[A/N: Pfft!]

Rianolinon: Rein, wat about the males? 

Reinesse: Then when i reached the court, it was the only time I wore my sock.

Rianolinon: Rein, this isn't anime.

Reinesse: I have sando underneath.

Rianolinon: This isn't anime rein. You don't wear your socks at court, you wear them before u go.

Reinesse: I did. *blob derp emoticon*

Mr. McGuffin: What the heck?

Reinesse: I read a lot but my reading speed is still 10 words per second.

Rianolinon: ...… You read 600wpm? Wtf? Are u even human?

[A/N: She's not human, she's Reinesse.]

Reinesse: It's normal according to google for readers to gain such speed after a period of time.

Rianolinon: Oh, really I don't even know.

Mr. McGuffin: I do not know my words per min.

Reinesse: @Rianolinon what I did is simple. I read some long chapter of what I'm reading in XYZ-World, timer then copy paste to word.

Rianolinon: I see.

Reinesse: Then divide. *sparkle emoticon*

Mr. McGuffin showed a link to calculate reading speed. 

Mr. McGuffin: I'm a good reader according to this. I read about 325 wpm and had an 82% comprehension.

Reinesse: I hate those type of test they make my speed lower. *blob sad reach emoticon*

Mr. McGuffin: hehe. Did you try it?

Reinesse: The last time i tried 500 wpm 100% comprehension. Lemme try again.

Mr. McGuffin: Okay.

Reinesse: Not exactly 500, but around it. 

Murakami: I read around 400 got 82% comprehension.

Mr. McGuffin: I was not speed reading though. I could probably get faster, but if the questions are similar then It will mess up the comprehension.

Elyon: I'm a slow reader, but I make up for it due to my Sex Appeal. *blob whoa emoticon*

Author's Thoughts

Once again, sorry for the  ̶v̶e̶r̶y̶ late update of WWCG. Some IRL stuff happened that drained me both physically, and mentally. Hopefully, this week would be  ̶l̶e̶s̶s̶ ̶s̶t̶r̶e̶s̶s̶f̶u̶l̶ a better one, so I can stick to my update schedule. 

I would also like to take this opportunity to give praise to the authors like ForeverPupa. They are the authors who do their best to update their chapters even though they're busy with IRL things like work, studies, etc.

I would also like to encourage young writers like Ria  ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶R̶e̶i̶n̶e̶s̶s̶e̶ to be adventurous, and write stories that will help them hone their writing skills. Some of you might ask the question "is it difficult to write a good story?"

The answer to this question may vary depending on who you will ask. If you were to ask me this question a few months ago, my answer would be, "Yes, it's difficult to write a good story."

However, the current me would give you a different answer. Honestly, It's not difficult to write a good story. The difficult part is whether you can actually write it, and persist till the end. 

There are many great stories here in Webnovels, but some of them went to hiatus, and some were dropped. Their authors stopped writing these stories for reasons only known to them. These stories in turn just rot in a corner of the web and was never heard of again.

For me, this is the saddest part of writing a story. So, writing a good story is not actually difficult. The hard part is finishing a book. Of course, the story may not be perfect, some people may call it trash, and some may call it the work of an amateur writer.

Reality is harsh and these words can be hurtful especially for new authors. But, I believe, that those authors who managed to finish their stories and persisted till the end are stronger compared to the rest. 

My journey is still beginning and the finish line is still far from sight. I hope, and pray, that I will be able to finish the stories that I had started. Not only for the sake of my readers, but also for my sake as a writer.

There was a quote from Stephen King that says, "The road to hell is paved with adverbs."

I beg to disagree, my road to hell is paved with tense shifts.

Have a good day everyone!
