Early life:
Babar Azam was born on 15 October 1994 into a Punjabi family. He was born in the famous Walled City and recalls the memories of "playing cricket and roaming around like a free-bird in those streets." His cousins Kamran and Umar Akmal, who are older than him, were the reason he was attracted to cricket and their stories and success instilled inspiration into him. Therefore, he decided to take cricket as his profession. He had been a ball boy at Gaddafi Stadium [8] prior to joining a cricket academy and starting his domestic cricket career there and was present during the home series Pakistan played between 2006 and 2008. He sought guidance from Rana Sadiq, his first coach, who taught him in real terms, what batting is. Later he went on to be a part of Pakistan U-19 setup.

Guys don;t read this - it's just a sandbox

Year 2099. December 31st. Time 00:00. Later what Historians came to call "the Blue Sunset".  A mysterious phenomenon that swept through the world, reducing the world population to a mere 3 billion. 
The  aftermath was  world-changing. Survivors were afflicted with a disease called "Mana Syndrome".  Those who showed minor symptoms were saved but those who couldn't fell victim to this unknown illness. But later experiments which led  to the discovery of "Mana"- a mysterious energy that was leftover as a direct result of "The Blue Sunset" incident, finally  led to the unexpected emergence of people that could wield this unknown energy. 
They came to be known as "Mana-Artists" 
Humans fear the unknown and the Gods fear innovation...
Mana Artists, though powerful, came to be despised and cornered in the normal society due to their aberrant powers. The government monitored them and their peers shunned them.  Dissatisfied with the status quo, Mana Artists gathered together and led a civil war across the world. 
The third world war thus began. With the destruction of the world imminent, the war suddenly came to a stop. Reason? No one knows. But from that day forward the world soon came to know of a shadow organization that consisted of ten powerful Mana-Artists, that stood toe to toe with gods-The Auditors...



~~~



"The enemies of the Union are dead!" 

"Enemies? Do you mean that Akagami family that was said to be the No.1 Fire-series clan of the world?! How did they die?" 

"A tragedy was what happened. I heard when the Auditors came on the scene all they found were the family corpses," 

"Even the rumored child genius?" 

"Heh! What child genius?! I heard he was the one who killed all of them!" 

"No way! A child killed off his own family?" 

"Hard to believe it, isn't it? I guess the Akagami family never would have thought that they were raising a white eyed wolf instead of a dragon. That year, the family chief stood against all the elders of the family and proclaimed his stance in appointing the child as his heir despite him being adopted and of unknown origins. To think he would meet his end like this...*sigh* it's heaven's will...I say...Heaven's will,"

This was the city of Lamparr... a prosperous city that boasted a long history extending to an era even older than the 21st century. Of course, back then, it wasn't as prosperous or even half as famous like it was now. It was an obscure city that trudged along the road of time, hiding in shadowy crevices of history, and except for a few exhausted travelers that stumbled upon it by coincidence, the city of Lamparr would've been forever remained as a blurry smudge in history. 

But that all changed during the Third world war. Upon the discovery of Mana and the emergence of Mana-Artists after the Blue sun set incident, the city of Lmaparr, being the closest to the incident, was heavily affected with Mana source. Mana-Artists cropped up like beansprouts on a rainy day, an endless stream of powerful mages that shook the world equilibrium to its core. 

 And with such powerful existences coming up from the same place, it was destined that the days of Lmaparr spent in flowing along the stream of time without a goal was soon coming to an end. 

During the Third World war, Lamparr took up an active role as being a trading spot for both Mana-Artists and humans. Though this disgruntled a few higher-ups but business was business whether selling to humans or selling to dogs. As long as they could pay, everyone would receive an equal treatment. 

Aside from this, while many places still discriminated against Mana-artists and Mana-Artists discriminated against humans, Lamparr existed as one of the few places that treated both humans and Mana-Artists as equals. There were no usual disdainful remarks or insults, nor were there any scuffles that broke out of nowhere. The streets were peaceful, business was booming, and the city was as glamorous a sight as it had always been. 

Towering peaks of sky towers that rose to heavens, and the Mana-train that rose and fell over the skyline, whistling along the sky-bridge railway that meandered here and there over the city like a silver snake. 

Below hover cars hailed each other, as the drivers exchanged greetings, a signal lamp post powered by mana lighted up red on either side of the street, while people crossed it busily. 

The hustle-bustle of the streets was nowhere near close to the hubub of the bazaar as merchants enthusiastically called over customers, showing off their newest wares. 

It was indeed a splendid sight.  Kazumi Nagato sighed as he pulled up the collar of his coat more tightly around his neck. Pushing his hands into his pockets, he walked along the street, keeping to the shadows and avoiding bumping into people. As he blended into the crowd he thought again about the rumors and whispers he had heard. 

Akagami family. One of the most renowned Mana-Artist families around the world. During the thirteen years of war, with the emergence of the Mana-Artists, many powerful Mana-Artists came into existence. 

Mana-Artists powers manifests in different ways. No two Mana-Artists have the same power. For example, a Mana-Artists of the fire series, one can manifest his power as form of fireball. But another Mana-Artist cannot manifest a fire ball no matter how easy of a technique it is. But he may be proficient in using a Fire-sword, a sword manifested entirely out of flames. 

Mana-Artists' powers can be categorized according to their elements. These are called 'series'

Fire series; base element is Fire.

Water Series: Base element- water. 

Earth series: Earth based element

Wind Series; Base element- Wind

Wood series; wood based element and so on. 

Apart from these five main series there are other series which consist of many varieties of elements. And though some may be a series that is entirely different from these five main series, like the Lightening series, there are some series that branch off from the five main series. For example, the ice-series of the ice element is a side branch of the Water series. 

And gathering all of these Mana-Artists of the same series were the five main families. The Akagami family was the clan most renowned for gathering powerful Mana-Artists of the Fire-series. 

The Third world war was a result of many years of suppression and resentment after Blue Sun Set incident, so when when the war first started off, the casualties numbered in millions. And the Akagami clan was at forefront of the rebellion, gathering many Fire series Mana-Artist and leading the rebels at the frontlines. They were known as flame gods that stalked across the battlefield spreading flames of war throughout the world. 

Their fame and prestige was unquestioned and irrefutable, and even the human government had to sigh in admiration at their strength and valor, even though they were on the opposite side of the battle. 

Many tired to plan and plot against them, even targeting the children of the Akagami family that hadn't even left their cribs, but the Akagami family stood firm, and emerged out stronger for it. It was during the mid years of the war, that the chief of the Akagami family, Shin Akagami, brought in an orphan. a young boy barely five years of age. But what startled the family was not his age but his aptitude towards the Fire series. It was on a level that was completely of its own with no compare. 

He became known as the child prodigy, and the Akagami family spared no effort in cultivating him, making him stronger and stronger. When he first stepped foot onto the battlefield, the result left them speechless. And entire battalion of one hundred thousand men-annihilated with a wave of his hand, as flames swept across the battlefield. He was like a God of Flames as he swept through battlefield after battlefield, felling one enemy after another. Soon, people- friend and foe alike started calling him by a nickname. "Crimson Dawn" because everywhere he went in the battlefield, flames erupted as high as the sky, illuminating acres and acres of land in an angry red even beyond the battlefield, just like an emerging dawn. 

 Even the Union- the government supported anti- ManaArtist movement came to fear the mention of his name. 

But as they say, high trees attract the wind the most. With the Akagami family's achievements piling up and more and more, they soon began to attract the envy of their allies and the resentment of their enemies. 

 Maybe it was a scheme of their enemy or a plot of an ally but soon after the Third World War ended, with the Auditors emerging and putting a stop to the war, the Akagami family soon faded into obscurity. That was until a few days ago, and few years after the Third world war's end, that news started to seep in through the cracks. It was rumors at first but then the government made an open declaration. 

The Akagami Family...was dead. 

The no.1 Fire Series Mana-Artist family was now no more. The culprit?

It was none other than Akagami Rikuou- the one hailed as the "Crimson Dawn"...

"Sometimes to unite a chaotic world, what people need may not necessarily be a hero. What they'd need is a powerful enemy that they can't surpass," 

It had been six years since the Third world War came to an abrupt halt, and both sides of the war are just learning to settle into a hectic but peaceful everyday lives without the sound of gunfire. 
In a series of inner-conflicts and hidden betrayals, the world soon came to learn of the massacre of the clan famed throughout the world to be the strongest clan of the Fire Series-The Akagami clan. 
Surrounded by tragedies with each person shouldering a painful past, the story follows the events leading up to the massacre named the "Crimson Massacre" and how its aftermath affected the survivors of that night. 
With a mysterious shadow organization named "The Auditors" looming in from the shadows, many are skeptical of their goal. Are they friend or are they foe? Or something even more terrible?

Xander and his team arrived on the place of the crime scene. After instructing his team of what they will do. Xander approaches the victim's body and examined everything. Suddenly, someone from the forensics team talked with him.

"She's the second one." The lady suddenly blurted out
"Lia you're also here." Xander answered with a faint smile on his lips.
"Yeah. And this lady had the same weird codes like the first lady we saw on the dumpsite." Lia answered
"So you're telling me we should rule out the possibility that this ladies might be killed by the same person. But these ladies don't have any connections with each other. The previous victim lived in Daegu. And this one lived in Gwangju." Xander reasoned out.
"But how could you explain the weird codes found on their body? And that codes doesn't exist in our field." Lia questioned him

Suddenly, a man entered the tent and distracted the conversation of the two.

"Both of you has their own points. But can you just help each other?" Harry asked 
"It's because of him"
"It's because of her" both answered at the same time
"Okay, stop it you two. We need to work okay? First we will be conducting a conference meeting to discuss the details. So both of you saved your opinions." Harry ordered
"One thing I noticed on both the victim's body are the weird codes. I've tried using the qr scanner for it but the code doesn't exist as if it was especially made by someone to cover up something." Xander answered
"Cover up what?" Lia asked
"I don't know. That's why we are here." Xander annoyingly answered
"Whatever." Lia answered
"Okay both of you get back to work." Harry ordered

 Xander walked out from the tent and started examining the area. After scanning the place, Xander started looking at the victim's items but he found nothing as if the crime didn't happened. Suddenly he received a phone call.

"Where are you going back?" Lia asked
"Patience lady." He answered teasing Lia
"Patience your ass. You better hurried back to the office now." Lia ordered
"Okay, I got it." Xander answered

After he hung up the phone, he walked to his car and started his car engines and driving for a while. He suddenly turned on the radio of his car to tuned in for the latest news. While listening on the news. Sudden breaking news comes in.

What if having a code for your crush means death for you? Will you still in code a code for him/her?


Nathalia “Thalia” Park, 25 years old. A world renowned celebrity, the “QUEEN” in all aspects. Obtains a beauty that is unmatched. 

Alexander “Xander” Lee, 31 years old. An outstanding detective. 

Whoever falls in love first dies. Will you be okay with that?

 This was a mechanical effect. understanding the frequency of an item, you could destroy an entire object by outputting a small amount of force at the correct frequency. 
 Tesla had once used this principle to create a small earthquake in New York. This verified the terror of the Tesla Effect. The earthquake had terrified the nearby civilians such that they thought the apocalypse was coming. (TN: MythBusters busted this myth, so don't take this as fact.)
 Of course, Wei Xiao Bei wasn't sure how much this skill had to do with the Tesla Effect. After all, that was science and the power he possessed might be beyond science.
 Wei Xiao Bei could easily shatter a boulder that was ten or thirty-meters tall, let alone this three-meter large boulder!
 This alone improved Wei Xiao Bei's power by an immeasurable degree.
 Of course, Wei Xiao Bei first had to familiarize himself with his new-found power. After all, a moving enemy in battle was a completely different thing to an unmoving rock.
 There was no doubt that [Bajiquan]'s improvement to a higher level had made Wei Xiao Bei overjoyed.
 However, what made him even happier was the fact that his creature rank had finally increased again!
 Name: Wei Xiao Bei
 Race: Human
 Gender: Male
 Age: 21
 Creature Rank: 4-Star (Characteristic: Law Series) Note: Highest rank in 4-Star creatures is Disaster!
 ....
 Four-Star!
 Wei Xiao Bei couldn't help but exclaim in his mind. He had been stuck for a relatively long time at 3-Star Terror.
 Now, he had finally gotten what he wanted. Wei Xiao Bei felt inexplicably relaxed upon advancing to 4-Star. An indescribable sensation of excitement rose in his heart.
 It was now that Wei Xiao Bei truly understood what was required to break past 3-Star Terror to reach 4-Star. It did not demand pure accumulation of attributes, but the increase of a certain aspect to a higher level.
 The Skeleton Bird was the best example. 
 Apart from [Life Steal], the Skeleton Bird was not exceptional in any of its abilities or attributes. In certain environments, it might not even be a match to a 3-Star monster.
 However, [Life Steal] alone allowed it to become a 4-Star monster.
 Also, the Young Ba Serpent had probably reached 4-Star due to its bloodline. It was the same for the Citizen of Long Bo.
 If that was the case, then the 4-Star generals subordinate to Zhao Yun had all probably had one of their skills reach an extremely high level.
 Of course, this wasn't to say that pure accumulation of attributes couldn't push an individual to 4-Star.
 Rather, doing so would probably require an astronomical investment of evolution points in attributes.
 Wei Xiao Bei relaxed for a moment before returning his attention to the status panel and focusing it on the changes that had occurred after his advancement to 4-Star.
 Compared to 3-Star Terror, Wei Xiao Bei felt a series of changes happening to him upon reaching 4-Star. The most obvious was the change to his mental strength.
 His ability to sense the breathing of non-living objects from earlier was one example. Moreover, Wei Xiao Bei could feel his mind become more focused and concentrated.
 It was a change that was hard to describe.
 More plainly put, Wei Xiao Bei felt as if his mental power was starting to solidify.
 If he activated [Response Search], his consciousness could have material sensations within the radius of the skill.
 For example, Wei Xiao Bei's consciousness could feel the temperature and texture of a stone that was a hundred meters away from him. It felt as if his body itself was touching the stone.
 Of course, that was all for now. His mental powers were not at the level where he could flip the stone.
 After experiencing these changes, Wei Xiao Bei focused his attention on the description behind his rank.
 Creature Rank: 4-Star (Characteristic: Law Series) Note: Highest rank in 4-Star creatures is Disaster!
 Wei Xiao Bei's Characteristic had changed after reaching 4-Star. 
 Law Series?
 Law Series: Conduct disruptive attacks against weaker opponents through the soul, with a powerful soul as the basis of the attacks. This provides the user with a series of Command effects (Death, Dominate, Intimidate, Blind, Silence).
 Mm, the description was already very detailed.
 So that was what it was. All of the doubts Wei Xiao Bei had about [Law Intimidation] in the past were instantly answered when he saw the explanation of this [Law Series].
 No wonder his spirit would always become weak after he used [Law Intimidation].
 Consequently, Wei Xiao Bei rarely ever used [Law Intimidation] and [Law Blinding] when he could resolve the problem with his ability.
 After all, even though these Law effects could easily deal with 2-Star creatures, they were somewhat useless given Wei Xiao Bei's power.
 It was now that Wei Xiao Bei understood that the Law abilities were unleashed through the power of the soul.
 Of course, Wei Xiao Bei still had not figured out what this power was exactly. However, this didn't stop him from exploring the effects of this improved [Law Series].
 A magpie that had flown to a branch and started singing barely got two notes out when it heard a voice.
"Silence!"
 The magpie was shocked to find that it could no longer sing with its merry voice.
 Wei Xiao Bei looked at the bird that had turned to fly and thought for a moment. He then turned to a sparrow on the other side and simply thought in his mind, "Blind!"
 The sparrow that had been hopping about the grass vigorously to look for seeds immediately fell to the ground. It then started beating its wings wildly and running frantically.
 Fortunately, the Law abilities that Wei Xiao Bei used were now easier to control.
 Both the magpie and the sparrow would recover to normal after a while.
 After a series of tests, Wei Xiao Bei had a basic grasp over the effects of this [Law Series].
 Compared to the [Law Intimidation] and [Law Blinding] of the past, the [Law Series] now appeared to have more freedom and allowed for more control. When Wei Xiao Bei used its command effects, they were more accurate and therefore, required consumed less energy.
 More crucially, even if Wei Xiao Bei didn't speak, he could secretly activate this ability in his mind.
 This way, the [Law Series] becomes a lot more convenient in situations where it wasn't appropriate for him to expose his powers.
 In his own words, this skill was good for dark dealings, things like assassination and robbery.
 It was only fine for him to throw his weight about recklessly in the Dust World. If Wei Xiao Bei started killing everything in the real world, his peaceful life would be disrupted in a matter of days.
 It was much more convenient now. With the [Law Series], he could silently accomplish a lot more things.
 Wei Xiao Bei had intended to improve [Shooting] and then sacrifice it to improve [Electrical Work]. However, he never expected it to be hurt so much after his first sacrifice. Even focusing to improve his perception sub-attribute hurt his head incredibly, let alone sacrificing another ability.
 It seemed like he would have to wait a while until the side-effects of the [Sacrifice] had faded before he could attempt the next sacrifice.
 After familiarizing himself with the [Law Series], Wei Xiao Bei took out the thirty-four Pedestal Fragments of the Fountain of Youth from his storage bracelet.
 Wei Xiao Bei already wanted to merge the fragments in the Dust World, he was just afraid of being discovered.
 There was no one around right now, making it just the right time to do it.
 He took out all thirty-four fragments and placed them on a smooth piece of rock.
 These fragments were like the finest of jade. Every piece might be of a different size, but they were so green that it drew your eyes toward them.
 Wei Xiao Bei had no information or reference for the merging of these fragments. As such, he could only try to piece them together like a puzzle.
 It was unclear if it was some sort of disruptive ability inherent to the fragments or the original severity of its damage, but the edges of the fragments were incredibly complex. Just finding two matching edges took Wei Xiao Bei a long time, even after activating [Deductive Reasoning].
 Fortunately, Wei Xiao Bei did manage to find two matching pieces in the end. As he put the two fragments together, a green circle of light rushed one meter into the air along the broken edge. It was shockingly bright.
 If Wei Xiao Bei hadn't had his eyes closed out of habit, this sudden burst of light would have rendered him temporarily blind.
 Even so, Wei Xiao Bei could still see the bright green sun before him through his eyelids.
 Once the green light faded, the fragments had merged into a single piece and the original crack was completely gone, smooth as ceramic.
 Wei Xiao Bei opened his eyes and looked. The status panel of the fragment appeared before his eyes.
 Name: Pedestal Fragment of the Fountain of Youth (Severely damaged, Immortal Quality)
 Introduction: This item is a fragment formed after the pedestal of the Fountain of Youth was shattered. It can produce Lesser Spring Water of Youth.
 Effect 1: Produces Lesser Spring Water of Youth. Can produce three drops of Spring Water per day.
 Effect 2: Merge. This item can merge with other Pedestal Fragments of the Fountain of Youth.
 .....
 This fragment was formed of two smaller fragments that could each produce one drop of Lesser Spring Water per day.
 However, upon merging, its effects became producing three drops of Lesser Spring Water per day.
 Of course, some of the fragments here could produce three drops of Lesser Spring Water per day as well. They were about the same size as this fragment.
 It seemed like merging was indeed effective.
 This wasn't the end of it. Wei Xiao Bei closed his eyes and started searching for fragments whose edges lined up.
 He had to close his eyes. Otherwise, the various status panels that appeared just from looking at the fragments would be enough to disrupt him and keep him from finishing his work.
 After spending half an hour, the second piece that matched the first two was finally found.
 Wei Xiao Bei put it together with the earlier fragments and another circle of green light shot into the air.
 The green light that appeared this time was much stronger than before and rushed two meters into the air.
 Wei Xiao Bei did not waste any time. He looked at the status of the merged fragment. Just like before, this fragment produced increased Lesser Spring Water after merging a new fragment. Moreover, the total amount of Spring Water produced was more than the total amount of three fragments added together.


One day, Wei Xiao Bei gets dragged into The Dust World, a post-apocalyptic world ruled by monsters from myths, legends, games, etc. He also gains the power to travel between it and the real world, as well as the power called the 'Status Panel'. With this power, he chooses to strengthen himself to explore the vast mysteries and terror of the other world. What mysteries await him? What is The Dust World?
Author's Synopsis:
What the hell is this? What the hell happened here?
How did my room become so ruined after a single night?
The floor and table were covered in dust, his new poster of Zhang Liang Ying that had just been posted on the wall a few days ago had already become yellow and tattered all over. Even Zhang Liang Ying’s beautiful face became monstrous as if an old devil was looking at him with a terrifying smile.
The walls were covered by a mist of cobwebs and the fruits placed on top of the coffee table were withered and rotted to the point that the mold on them had turned black. The fruits below even seemed to have turned into mush. The aluminium framed window that the landlord had just installed not that long ago was now covered in a layer of white ash and the glass was filled with cracks and covered in dust.
The computer beside his bed was also covered by cobwebs and was accompanied by an empty water glass with a withered worm inside of it.
Dust filled the air making Wei Xiao Bei choke as he tried to breathe.
Everything seemed to be ash gray without any light as if looking at television static.
After just one night, it seemed like everything in the room had aged for centuries or even millennia.
Mother… is this a dream?
This must be a dream!

Turning on the TV, the next scene followed.
Wanyu hurriedly waved at the bus and rushed onto it. After that, under Zhan Bo's speechless gaze, she hid underneath Zhan Bo's seat.
After some time, two other people wearing shades and black uniforms rushed into the car. With the way they were dressed, one could tell they were ruthless characters. The random appearance once again caught the attention of the viewers.
Zhan Bo got anxious and could not resist cowering slightly. It was obvious who the target of those black-suited guys was. 
Just as the atmosphere turned serious, the bus driver once again bellowed unexpectedly, "Hey hey hey! Either you pay with coins, swipe your card, or scram!"
With the same words, he immediately broke the serious atmosphere.
In the next scene, the two men in black suits were shooed off the bus without losing their composure. 
"Tsk. Trying to dress like The Matrix yet can't afford to pay the bus fees," the driver huffed condescendingly.
"Pfft!"
On the table, one of the students who was having a drink spit his drink out.
A thought came to their mind at the same time. 'That bus driver is good!'
Following that, the TV series went all out. The manly Hu Yifei made her appearance. Her ferocity mixed with idiocy once again attracted much attention. After that, Zhan Bo and Wanyu got in the wrong car, followed by a Go-Kart racing scene on the road. "I'm a good guy, the good guy is me. I'm Zeng Xiaoxian!"
Each character was introduced in a memorable fashion scene after scene. Everyone had their own charms, and every scene was filled with laughter that could not be stopped. It left a deep impression on them.
What was supposed to be a student's gathering with grand discussions started to steer its topics toward the TV series. They had almost forgotten to eat, and the endless laughter kept pouring in.
"Damn, that driver is the true hidden boss. He's definitely the type of ruthless person that punches the elderly and kicks little kids when he was young."
"A tractor managed to drift on the road, and even overtake other cars. How did they come up with such a script?"
"I can't take it anymore. Let me laugh for a bit. I really can't hold it in anymore."
"That public call-in show by Teacher Zeng is just too funny. Mistakenly eating moth balls while eating wontons, hitting a nail with a fly swatter, then destroying the wall just to see the homeowner and police officers. Hahaha, my stomach is aching from too much laughing."
"Teacher Zeng's solutions are amazing. Pretending to have bad reception and hanging up. I wonder how much trauma the caller would have?"
The student that supported Actor Y from the beginning started laughing. "How's it? I told you Actor Y won't let us down, didn't I? This TV series is too interesting. It's full of comedy."
Interesting?
It was beyond interesting.
The plot connection was perfect. Each change of scene was not out of place, and most importantly, the exchanges were humorous and the actors' acting skills were superb. It was difficult not to laugh.
"Oh my, it's Actor Y after all. I don't think anyone else can film a TV series like this."
"F*ck!" The student with glasses was shocked after keeping silent for some time. "This TV series...is amazing."
Before this, he did not think that Actor Y could come up with anything good and had ridiculed it.
This kind of TV series was boring?
If it were someone else filming it, it would be.
However, would Actor Y's production be the same?
The students who looked down on it were smiling sheepishly. The face-slapping came too quickly.
It turns out that it had nothing to do with the genre of the TV series. It was mainly dependent on the director. Nobody was the same. How could Actor Y's talent be measured with common sense?
Quite some people could not resist from posting in their WeChat Moments, lamenting, [Oh my heavens. This TV series renewed my worldview. It's just too amazing.]
Very soon, the comments started flooding in.
[What happened? What TV series were you watching? I've watched For My Love. It's not that great, is it?]
[I watched Palace. It seems okay, but it's not to the level you've described.]
[This lamentation is a bit too exaggerated, isn't it? What TV series is this?]
[I'm talking about iPartment! It's too f*cking amazing!]
[What? iPartment? You must be kidding!]
[Is that sarcasm?]
[I too, have watched iPartment. It's awesome. Highly recommended. Actor Y is too good!]
A lot of people were too engrossed in the show and forgot to comment. It was not until the end of iPartment's first episode that they finally woke up from their daze. 
[F*ck, that's too funny. This is definitely the work of gods!]
[This is amazing, really amazing. Damn it, I finally found what series to follow next. What a find!]
[This is such an amazing series. Who said iPartment was no good? That's it, I need to help clear its name!]
At the end of the first episode, Weibo, Tieba and the internet immediately went wild.
At first, the other TV series had paid for trending searches. However, at such a time, under the countless support from the viewers, iPartment pushed forward at full force and went up to third place on the trending search list!
[Because of our many years of online friendship, I'll share with you guys a work of the century—iPartment!]
[From what I can remember, it's been 10 years since I've been this happy. Thank you iPartment.]
[That's right. Just like crosstalk, I felt that all the actors were so humorous. Just looking at them makes me want to laugh.]
[It's true. I'll swear on my morals. iPartment is definitely worth watching. Tonight, I sat with my family in front of the TV and our laughter never stopped. My parents are already in their 60s and my child is eight years old. However, when we watched iPartment together, we were all laughing happily together. Thank you iPartment!]
[Previous post, I felt the same. I've never seen my old father laugh that happily. It's truly touching. If iPartment can maintain this quality, I'll be its die-hard fan!]
[F*ck, is it that exaggerated? They hired such amazing spammers?]
[You can choose to believe it or not. That's it, I need to go watch the second episode.]
…
At that moment, Zhang Yong was similarly seated in front of the TV. He was watching the Banana TV station in a daze.
His head was still humming, and he was absolutely stunned by this huge surprise.
Although he agreed to air iPartment out of respect for Singer Y, he did not put much hope in it. He was an emotional person, so it was out of his gratitude for Singer Y that he forcefully pushed iPartment to air despite the pushback from the station. 
A TV series that depended on connections would not normally show any good results. For that, he was already prepared for it to flop.
However, he realized that he was gravely mistaken. Just from the first episode alone, he knew that this TV series was...extraordinary. Truly extraordinary!
Frankly, even if the following episodes fell apart with a crappy plot, just the quality of the first episode would ensure the TV ratings remain decent!
Why? It was because of the first impression! The foundation for its reputation was set.
His face was flushed from the excitement, and he impatiently called the chairman of Banana TV. "Chairman, have you watched iPartment?"
"Nonsense! Although I don't carry much hope for it, it's still a program from our TV station. How can I not watch it?" the chairman retorted. He paused for a moment, then continued, "Old Zhang, you know me well. I don't usually use vulgarities, but this time, I can only say—F*ck! Our Banana TV once again hit the jackpot. This is going to be a big hit!"

What does it feel like to become a 'prodigy' overnight? Follow Ye Lingchen on this journey to discover the limitless possibilities...

"Is she planning to hang with that man and ditch us as punishment?" Natalia wondered while tilting her head slightly.
Molly coiled a strand in her finger again and answered with an uncertain tone, "Probably not? She won't take it that far."
A few minutes later, her eyes suddenly brightened up after seeing Stella returning to them with a smile.
"See told you so." Molly said.
Still confused, Natalia nodded her head.
"Beauties follow me." Stella took their hands and pulled them with her towards the bar.
"What are you doing Stella?" Molly asked nervously.
"Heh, I set us all a date with that handsome." She grinned at their dismayed expressions and said, "We will sit all in one room during the auction house."
"But the auction rooms only have 3 chairs!" Natalia said.
"Exactly!" Stella eyed them playfully and added, "One of you girls will have to either share a chair between you two or with him." She teased them, "Maybe, I will even sit on his thigh and let you beauties sit on each chair."
"What the hell Stella! that's too far!" Molly complained while trying to break away from Stella's grip. Sadly, she had to stop her attempts after reaching the man's side.
'Sigh, whatever, being with a stranger might even keep that horny dog away from me.' She sighed, accepting her fate.
She lifted her head to see who did Stella set them up with, and suddenly felt that it was not so bad after seeing Felix's easy-going smile.
"Ladies, nice to meet you." Felix nodded his head politely and introduced himself, "I am Felix, please have a seat. Drinks are on their way."
Natalia and Molly introduced themselves politely as they seated next to him. Honestly, they didn't even need to introduce themselves, as Felix already knew about their identity.
"I am a big fan of both of your works." Felix complimented them sincerely, "To actually drink with Miss Molly the current queen of dramas, and Miss Natalia lead singer of Tigers of Love Idol band, is truly a lucky day for me."
"Hey! Not fair." Stella jumped in front of him and pointed at herself, "What about me? Don't you love watching my movies?"
Felix shook his head gently and said, "Miss Stella, how can you say that? I have repeatedly watched your movies." He approached her ear and whispered, "Especially, Sinful Purity movie."
"You're bad, how can you say that to my face." She laughed and pushed him away.
Felix didn't feel ashamed at all, bragging about watching repeatedly the only movie she had a nude scene in.
Molly and Natalia tilted their heads in confusion at their flirting.
'What the hell, isn't this too quick? They just met.' Molly thought.
'Did sister Stella brought us to watch them flirt with each other?' Natalia thought.
They shared eye contact for a quick second and nodded in understanding. 'Game on! Let's see who will watch who!'
Natalia abruptly hugged Felix's left arm and asked shyly with sparkling sapphire azure eyes, "Brother Felix, which one of my songs do you love the most?"
A bit baffled, Felix gave a side glance at her weird behavior. But still, he answered her after contemplating for a while.
"It's quite hard to choose. However, my favorites are >On your Knees< and >Imaginary Road<" He smiled and complimented her, "Especially Imaginary Road video clip, your beauty truly shone in it."
Natalia didn't answer him back, as she lowered her head, avoiding eye contact with him. Her attempt to flirt backfired at her immediately. Molly laughed softly at her friend's reaction. She knew that Natalia gets awkward instantly after being praised by males.
"Hehe, Sister Natalia, I always told you the same, but you never believed me." Stella smiled teasingly and said. "Now that you hear it from Felix, you didn't refuse. Tell why so?"
Natalia's ears turned red in embarrassment, she didn't think Stella would go that far and twist facts like this, trying to make it sound like she had a thing for Felix.
'Since you are playing dirty, let's see how you react when I do the same.'
Natalia ignored Stella's playful smile, and courageously whispered in Felix's ear while covering it with her small hands.
Stella nervously watched Felix's expression turn weird while looking at her body.
'F*ck! Don't tell me she told him about that!!'
Stella flinched at his invasive sight. She felt that every inch of her body was naked in his eyes, especially when she wore nothing underneath her dress!
"Cough, be right back, I need to head to the bathroom." She stood up hurriedly and walked faster away from them.
Yet she felt her cheeks burn after feeling three piercing gazes at her rear. She gritted her teeth and increased her speed even faster until she disappeared in the corner.
"Pffffff!! that what you get after dressing that way." Natalia and Molly laughed besides Felix, who was honestly quite uncomfortable about knowing such private information.
He might have accepted having them in his auction room to not feel bored during the long duration of the bidding, but still, he didn't expect he would be hearing secrets from his stars that he loved to watch and listen to in his previous life.
'Oh well, Might as well enjoy it.' He thought to himself. His thick skin quickly helped him accept this situation.
'Felix warn her about her next garbage series!' Asna's voice suddenly interjected in Felix's mind.
'No! Uhm? Hehe, with pleasure.' Felix's slits thinned dangerously for a split second unnoticed by the ladies before returning to their normal size.
'You are such a bastard.' Asna cursed him after reading what he had in mind.
"Is it possible to know if your next drama is already in production?" Felix turned his head to Molly, as he casually asked.
Molly stopped laughing after hearing him talk business. If he asked about the release date of her drama, it meant he wanted to watch it. But if he asked about production, it signified that he planned on investing.
"Sir Felix, the production won't begin until next month." She answered seriously.
'Is he going to ask about investing in the series? Or he is just curious?'
"hmm, I see." He nodded lightly and asked an unexpected question to Molly, "How did you find the plot? You can answer honestly about your real feeling." He smiled, "No one is going to judge you."
Even though Natalia didn't understand what he was implying, she still nodded her head in agreement.
Molly stared at his genuine eyes and didn't know what to say. She wanted to express her real views about the script, but she was not a fool to do so in front of a man she just met.
So she kept hesitating to speak, not knowing what to do. Felix sighed at this sight and waved his hand dismissively "Forget it; I apologize for putting you in such a difficult position." He paused, "However, just from your hesitation the answer is pretty clear."
He lifted his glass of bluish wine and advised her with a solemn expression, "Trust in your gut feeling towards the script. It's still not too late."
After that, he ignored her completely and kept flirting with Natalia playfully, teasing her here and there making her blush constantly.
He didn't bother explaining what he meant to Molly. He already gave her a free future brownie, due to Asna telling him to warn her of that shit hole she was about to fall in.
If it was not for Asna, he wouldn't have bothered to say anything. He wanted to keep the timeline exactly the same as the last one for as long as possible. This action would cause quite an impact on the film industry if Molly listened to his advice.
As the upcoming series she was about to cast in, failed horribly due to another series grabbing the attention of every spectator. If it was not for it, the series would have performed as expected, average results, but stable income.
However, because of this variable, Molly's series got bashed to the ground after it was being compared constantly between the two. Especially when the episodes release was close to each other. The difference got even more apparent to the audience.
This constant bashing resulted in the series being dropped by the producers.
No one got hit harder than the actors, specifically Molly who was a famous celebrity within the Empire.
Felix planned to invest in that series!
That's why, Asna wanted him to enlighten Molly, as she didn't want the series he was about to invest in to crush Molly, who acted in five of her favorite drama series.
However, Felix had something different in mind.
....
"Why are you spacing out?" Stella immediately asked Molly after returning from the bathroom. She sat next to her and waited for her response.
"Felix told me to follow my gut feeling when dealing with my upcoming series." Absent-minded, Molly coiled a curly strand on her finger as she replied.
"Uhm? Did he now?" Surprised, Stella glanced at Felix, who was drinking with Natalia. She then patted her friend's shoulder and asked, "Well, what was your first thought after reading the script?"
Molly looked at her tearfully and responded, "Trash!"
"..." Stella didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her truthful response.
'Her company will skin her alive if they caught wind of what she said in public.'
"Well, then just don't do it, baby." Stella hugged her with a smile and advised, "You are Miss Molly; do you think you will struggle to find another series to act in? I doubt it. So if you feel that you are not fit for this series." She poked Molly's nose with her finger and said, "Just ask your company to terminate your contract with it."
"But, they will refuse to pay the termination fees." Molly slapped Stella's finger away and added, "Even more so based on a hunch of mine."
"If I paid the fees, would you sign a contract with me to act in an upcoming series I am planning to invest in?" Felix put his head between their hug while tempting Molly with a soft devilish voice.

PS: This novel isn't a space exploration novel (Not in the first 8 volumes at least). It's mostly focused on the Universal Virtual Reality and the 'Supremacy Games' as the name implies, with some real-life situations as well of course!
