Let’s see how this goes. This is my first publication. I want to just go with what I’m feeling and I don’t have a plan.

Long Black Train is the first in a series of song based stories. A mysterious man seeks out the Long Black Train. Will he reach it? What will happen when and if he boards it?

"Crap! I'm gonna be late for school again. This is all because of my shitty luck. We don't even have a rat in my house, so how the heck did a rat bite my shoelace off?" A boy was running along the street shouting. The people walking around him seemed familiar to this as seen on their face.
"Huff Puff Huff Puff... Finally, I made it to the station. Looks Like I am not going to be late today. Hurray!" A visible excitement could be seen on his face as if he won some mega lottery.
The Station was full of people and when the train arrived, people started pushing each other to get on the train. Fortunately, he got on the train in the midst of all these people.
"Is my bad luck finally gone or am I celebrating too early? Sigh, I can't even relax for a second with this kind of bad luck."
This Boy didn't always have bad luck. When he was on a field trip in his elementary school, his bad luck started showing up. In the field trip to a farm, he sneaked into a huge field made for animals to roam and eat grass. After the students toured the whole farm and were about to leave, the teacher realized that he was missing and went to search for him along with other people.
After searching for an entire day, they finally found him between the flocks of animals frozen without any movement. The teacher thought that he froze due to being scared of animals and took him to the hospital.
After diagnosing, nothing abnormal was seen and the boy was discharged from the hospital. He was taken home after being discharged and he woke up the next morning. He woke up the next morning not remembering anything except going to the farm. And from this day, his bad luck started.
The train was moving inside a tunnel and it abruptly came to a stop jerking all the peoples forward. Few Seconds after the train stopped a voice was heard from the speakers of the train.
"Please, do not panic. The way is obstructed due to a broken waterline. It will be fixed shortly. Thank you for your patience."
"Damn. I knew it. I will be late again, no matter what I do, I will always be late." The Boy murmured under his breath.
The train didn't move for about 3 hours. All the people on the train were annoyed and were complaining.
'Looks like it's a holiday for me today. I will surely get suspended one day due to skipping school many times.' The Boy thought as he looked around.
The train started moving again. The station he was supposed to get out at was already long gone but he was still on the train. There were fewer people now and he was sitting. He thought of riding the train until the last station and back.
The Boy was looking out of the window looking at the blurry scenery. Eventually, he fell asleep. When he woke up he didn't know where he was. There was no one on the train and the train had stopped moving. When he looked outside, his mind was blown.
He was at the exact same place where the waterline was broken. The door of the train was open and there was no one.
'Was I dreaming? No, it can't be. There would be other people here and I was standing. Is somebody outside?' He tried to stand but his whole body felt heavy.
'What is happening? Was it due to my intense running? I run like that every day, something is weird.' After standing with much difficulty, he stood up. On his struggle to stand up, he pushed his bag and it fell down. Looking at the falling bag, he realized something.
'No, it's not my body that is heavy. It's gravity. What is happening?' He looked at his mobile but there wasn't any signal, So he walked up to the door with much difficulty. After stepping outside, his body started floating and he felt it was lighter than ever. The broken water line wasn't fixed and the water coming out of it was floating all around.
The Boy went around hoping to get some signal but it was nowhere, so he tried going towards the station from where he got on. He made his way towards the end of the tunnel by swimming in the air. He tried to get out but an invisible wall stopped him.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! His mobile started making sounds.
"Yeah. I know, I remember to meet her. But how am I gonna now?" Shouting, he turned off the reminder alarm. As much as bad luck he may have, he still got a girl to date and today was it at 6:00 pm in a cafe near the school.
He punched the wall a few times but it was like rubber. It stretched and absorbed the force. He gave up after punching a few times when he saw something come at his direction at a rapid speed.
The thing came in an instant and he saw what it was, it was a train. The train entered the tunnel but nothing happened to it. The train went over the existing train that he was in but both of the trains overlapped and nothing happened to both of them. The train kept on moving and only stopped in front of the broken waterline. He followed the train and arrived there shortly after. From a window, he saw someone familiar. It was himself looking around murmuring something. He was blown out of his mind.
The waterline was fixed after about three hours and the train started moving again. It disappeared out of his vision leaving him alone.
He woke up again with his heavy body. But it felt heavier than before.
'What happened? I am inside of the train again. My body is heavier than before, has gravity increased?'
To test it, he threw his bag down but it travelled at the same speed.
'No, my mind adapted to the light gravity so my body feels much heavier in high gravity.' He figured this much out.
He was sitting there pondering what happened, how do I get out, he was gradually becoming more and more depressed but something woke him up from it.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! It was his mobile.
'Is the train coming again? It should be here within a few seconds.' But the train didn't come.
'It looks like the train is not coming.' He thought as he remembered his life filled with shitty luck but this one was extreme. He was remembering many things but he was woken up by a shock.
A train came and passed through him. All the people inside, all the things passed through him as if he were a ghost.
'What happened? Why is the train late? Did something change?' He tried to think of many scenarios until a specific idea came to his mind.
'Is it like those sci-fi movies where there is more gravity, the time runs slow?' To test this hypothesis, he stayed inside the train among many people who couldn't see him. Before the train left in about 3 hours but now the train left only after 3 hours and 23 minutes.
Again, he was inside an empty train sitting with his bag beside him. He looked at his mobile, it was 5:39 pm. Only 11 minutes until the alarm rings. He went outside and the train arrived at 6:01 pm. The train came again but this time he thought of doing something.
The Boy went to where he was and started to interact with his body that was on the train. He didn't know what to do, so he could only try to do something to himself and figure out something. When he touched his body that was on the train, everything went black. He realized that his eyes were closed and opened it.
What he saw was a white ceiling. He was lying on a bed and as he looked around he finally realized that he was in a hospital.
'Thank God! I was able to get out of there.' He was never this happy before but a question arose in his mind.
'Will it happen again or was it a dream?'

"You are so late!" Luo Bo moped as she saw Shi Zuo panting heavily after he teleported into the Shop Instance. 

"So sorry! There was a sudden server network problem in the company and they needed me to check it out because the guy who was in charge was on leave." Shi Zuo placed his hand on his head as he apologised for his tardiness.

"Hmm true, there had been some major network disruptions recently. I heard the other animation company had so many problems with their servers that they decided to do it the old fashion way. Tapes." Bin Yong commented.

"Meh, probably should make a proper complaint to the telco servers." Luo Bo grunted, but she immediately pulled Shi Zuo towards the new Restaurant Train of Delicacy Service Instance. Bin Yong and Jia Le could not help but laugh as Shi Zuo was being pulled by his girlfriend like a child dragging its favourite blanket around the room.

The four entered through the instance dimension and found themselves on a train platform. To everyone's surprise, the train station they were in was very simple. It was just a train platform with no roofs, no gates and nothing interesting surrounding except for grassland as far as the eyes could see. 

But on this simple looking train platform, the group could see that many were already waiting at the platform for the train to arrive. In the meantime, there was a penguin wearing a train attendant hat walking around, asking if anyone wanted any premium tickets.

"Do we need a ticket to board the train?" Bin Yong squatted to ask the Penguin Train Attendant when it wobbled towards them.

"Nope, getting on board the train is free, but you will have to pay for the food, unless you have a food coupon with you." The Penguin Train Attendant answered.

"Great, the four of us received digital food coupons after purchasing the Bank Raid story dungeon instance." Luo Bo flashed her coupon on her phone as evidence.

"Thank you for purchasing our dungeon instance! The choices of food remain the same for now, but if you'd like to upgrade your experience in the Restaurant Train of Delicacy, we would sincerely recommend you to get the premium tickets." The Penguin Train Attendant replied to them.

"What does the premium ticket entails?" Jia Le asked.

"Let's find out then." Shi Zuo preferred to experience it for himself, so he showed the Penguin Train Attendant his phone wallet, and asked for four tickets.

"That will be 1100 Yuan (~160 USD) in total. I will reiterate, this does not include any meals at all. Do you understand?" The Penguin Train Attendant started to print the tickets out as soon as Shi Zuo placed his phone on the portable payment terminal.

"My treat, guys, for coming late." Shi Zuo said as the Penguin Train Attendant beckoned another Penguin Train Attendant to escort them right to the further end of the train platform. It appeared that the premium tickets entitled them to a shorter queuing line. 

"I wonder if it works like a first class train ticket." Jia Le suggested, but the guys shrugged. "You can never know in Boss Jin's instances." Bin Yong replied, and the customers that were waiting with them started to speculate what kind of services they would experience thanks to the premium ticket.

"HOOOOOOOOOONNNNNK!"

From a distance, the crowd started to see the silhouette of a train coming towards them and the Penguin Train Attendants were asking everyone to form up nicely. "Everyone will have a good spot regardless if you are first or last in line! Please queue up orderly!!" One of the Penguin Train Attendants with a loud hailer did his best to handle the anxious crowd.

As the train got nearer, everyone had their mouths wide open. It was no ordinary train nor was it some bullet train from the future. Calling the locomotive train the customers saw colossal in length was an understatement when it stopped at the platform. The boiler of the steam locomotive thundered as it puffed out a variable intensity of smoke. Thankfully, the smoke had more of an aesthetic purpose instead of an actual byproduct from using coal.

"Now I understand why the train platform is this simple. There is no way a standard train platform could handle such a mammoth-like train." Luo Bo took out her phone to snap some pictures, but it was near impossible to take the full picture even in panoramic mode. 

"Okay! Everyone listen up! The Train is going to leave in 5 minutes! Customers who wish to board the train, please board safely." The Penguin Train attendant with the loud hailer shouted, and everyone could not help but be excited.

When the group went into the premium portion of the train, they were amazed by the interior decor of the place. It emitted a luxurious and prestigious feeling, despite having a train carriage design around it, with a table accommodating up to four people. However, because of the enormous size of the train, it did not feel cramped at all. Especially when the walkway was about the size of a three lane road. To emphasize on the premium experience, there were high enough partitions between each table that it did not intrude the privacy of the groups.

Jia Le noticed that further down the carriage, there were tables that could accommodate groups of up to ten people. "No wonder the train is this big." Jia Le was completely amazed as she took a picture as a reference for her future works.

There were crystal wall sconces on the train walls, chandeliers on the ceilings and the windows were large and slightly convex so the customers could have a better view outside. What they were surprised by was that those windows were not obvious from the outside. The group thought that they must have overlooked it because they were so caught up with the size of the train.

The seats were pleasantly comfortable, and it felt like they were made out of premium leather. Even the antique looking wooden tables were rock solid and had a vintage feel to them. Not to mention, the silverware right in front was exquisite. The intricate designs of penguins on the silverware forks and chopsticks while the pandas on spoons and knives caused both girls to snap pictures non stop. However, their favourite would be the plates as each of them had a small red panda imprint at the edges and every plate was of a different design.

"This is amazing. It's like living the high roller life." Shi Zuo had already started to feel that the money he paid to enter this restaurant was worth it. Suddenly, he noticed some saxophone music playing in the background, and he looked around to see where the speakers were. Only then did he realise that there was a band of penguins at the centre of the walkway playing instruments. The funny thing was the band was playing on a giant lazy panda that was strolling along the walkway.

"I wonder how the drummer can play when the equipment is constantly on the move." Bin Yong thought out loud, and Luo Bo laughed and replied a word. "Talent." 
 
"I would believe you more if you said it's Jin's 'trade secret'." Bin Yong rolled his eyes. In the meantime, two penguins appeared, sliding on their bellies, in front of them. Both wearing butler-looking suits. One asked the group what they would like to eat. The other penguin was offering them a sort of herbal tea which they had never seen in Jin's store before. The drinks were served in some delicate Chinese cups with exquisite floral designs and lustrous golden edges. (Not to mention multiple occurrences of small red and normal pandas hid among those floral designs upon closer inspection.)

The group then noticed that there was no menu until the penguin waiters explained that the menu was already displayed on their phones via the Pandamonium app and all they had to do was to choose something to order from it.

"Ahaha, I thought it would be some crazy restaurant menu. In the end, it's just the items that we have ordered at the Bar Island before." Shi Zuo said as he tried the tea. It was a bit sweet but still clear enough to cleanse their palates before the meal. "Hmm this tea is still a pleasant surprise."

"Ah, Monsieur. You are sorely mistaken, the food cooked by our Head Chef Lynn and her assistant chefs are slightly different from what you have eaten before." The penguin waiter talked with a slight French accent which the girls found cute. "And do not worry, more food choices would be made available in the future." The penguin waiter said while striking a pose with his notepad and pen ready to take their orders.

"I will have this ramen then. This is the first time I saw this ramen on the menu." Jia Le decided, and the rest followed suit as well. 

"I understand, so four orders of Ramen Chashu dans un Bouillon de Vivaneau Rouge, one order of Jus de Bambou, two orders of Soda Panda and one order of Café Ivoire Noir. Is that correct?" The penguin waiter repeated their orders and the group slowly nodded their head as if to acknowledge the weird French they were listening to, since the menu in the Pandamonium App only stated Chashu ramen, bamboo juice, panda soda and black ivory coffee.

"Bien, your orders will arrive shortly." The penguin waiter bowed as it left the area and coincidentally, the train started to move.

In a modern world where cultivators need a place to cultivate or vent their boredom, there are private businesses that set up instance dungeons with the aid of technology and cultivation magic to enable cultivators to train and commoners to experience the life of cultivation. They are called dungeon suppliers.

Xie Jin's one and only dream was to be a dungeon supplier and when his only relative passed away, the relative's inheritance gave him a plot of land and surprisingly, a 'System' Module which the relative had previously used. 

With the help of the system, Xie Jin decided to pursue his dream of becoming the number one dungeon supplier.

Seeing Ven's smiling expression, Amon regained a burst of energy and said frantically: "Where do you think they went?

-They most probably fled to the train station. If my guess is correct, they most likely want to escape the city to avoid us and regroup with some of their more powerful units.

-Why not regroup with the city guard instead?

-They're too weak. Some were augmented for the sake of this operation, but they're pretty much all dead. They must have been injured by Bel before they fled. Thus, they need some strong soldiers to ensure their protection.

-That might be true, but I don't think they would abandon their mission just like that, said Amon with an uncertain expression.

-Even if they stayed, there wasn't much more they could do. Our safe house suffered such a blow that they have no choice but to leave the city to avoid further damage. Even though they could eliminate every agent from the Ravens in this city, they've essentially crippled our operations here.

-I see. though that doesn't explain why they would flee by train. Wouldn't a car be more efficient?

-Magnetic trains are significantly faster. The only advantage of fleeing by car would be that they wouldn't have to follow the train lines. However, I would hypothesize that their destination is along one of those train lines.

-Why is that?

-The closest bastion of the Order is the city of London, which can only be accessed by magnetic train. It also happens that there is a merchandise train scheduled to depart in about half an hour.

-When did you have the time to research this?"

Amon was utterly flabbergasted by the depth of Ven's research. She had truly researched the possible escape routes of their enemies and predicted what path they would choose. At that moment, Amon knew that he had made the right choice in accepting her offer.

"Well, I wasn't an intelligence operative for nothing. It's always good to cover your bases when you're doing a mission. 

-Right, we should hurry if we want to catch the train before it departs. With their authority, the Holy Knights will have no problem boarding the train, even if it's not a passenger train. We'll have to sneak in there though.

-Luckily, the station isn't far from here.

-Let's got then."

The two Ravens proceeded to make their way towards the train station in the heart of the New-Paris business district. They made sure to use the alleyways whenever possible to avoid being seen in their blood-stained tattered clothes. 

The magnetic train was one of the Order's greatest invention and the symbol of their far-reaching influence. To simplify the whole technology, the train was equipped with powerful magnets that glided on top of a similarly magnetic track.

The magnetic poles of the train and the track were the same, creating a strong repulsive force between the two.

The repulsion between the two magnets allowed the train to levitate and since there was no friction between some wheels and a track, the train was able to reach a much higher speed than the trains of old.

The trains were also powered by a hybrid power system, half of it being solar energy from panels installed on top of the train, the other half from a large battery that could be charged when the train was docked. This made the fully electric train quite ecologically friendly.

The convenience of the train made it the primary mode of transportation for long distance travel, seeing as a trip was quite cheap. 

The train station was also one of the busiest places in the whole of New-Paris. Hundreds of thousands of people passed through there every day, whether for leisure or work. 

After about twenty minutes, the two Ravens arrived at the train station. They made their way into the crowd, disappearing within. Ven led Amon to the farthest platform. All around them were people scrambling to find the right platform, buying tickets or struggling to load their luggage on board.

Thankfully, there were so many people that their attire hardly drew any attention. Even if someone noticed them, they would immediately vanish amidst the sea of travellers. The farthest platform from the main entrance was where the merchandise trains were located. A separate entrance allowed the trains to be loaded, and this entrance was mostly for the employees.

The interior of the station was magnificent. In keeping with the Order's desire the rebuild the old Paris, the station was loosely modelled after Gare Du Nord, one of the largest train stations from before the Great War.

The high ceiling was made of large panels of glass and metal in a striped pattern. This allowed for a large amount of natural light to illuminate the interior. To supplement the sunlight, there were several lamps diffusing a deep yellow light on the marble pillars situated at regular interval.

This mixture of natural and artificial lightning gaze the interior a cozy feeling. When the two Ravens arrived near the gate that blocked the entrance to the platform housing the merchandise trains, they saw that there were only two guards standing on either side. They both looked bored but they were still vigilant as they scoured the crowd in search of any suspicious individual.

Amon and Ven were careful to stay out their sight as they devised a plan to get to the other side. After about five minutes, Amon was starting to get nervous as they didn't have much time before the train left the platform for London.

He was thinking hard when he felt Ven tug on his sleeve. He turned to face her and she stood on the tip of her toes to get closer to his ear. He felt her soft breath on his face and was momentarily distracted before composing himself. 

"I don't think we need to overcomplicate this. Do you see the closest train on the platform? It says 'Channel Express' and if I'm not wrong, it should be the train that's headed to London. Magnetic trains have a slow initial acceleration as they power their electromagnet. It should take us about twenty seconds to run from here, hop over the barrier and reach the train. If we time it right, we could wait until the train departs, since they won't be able to stop it at that point, and then forcefully board it."

Amon listened to her plan pensively. At first, it seemed crazy as the metal gate that blocked the entrance to the platform was nearly five meters high, a height impossible to jump over for a normal individual. However, if he executed it perfectly, Amon was confident that he was able to make it over. With the aid of her gust augmentation, Ven would similarly be able to make it over.

From them, they would be able to board the train as it left the station. Since the trains were mostly automated, there would be no conductor to stop the train, allowing them to follow the Holy Knights as they escaped.

This plan was still a major gamble as they had no way to be certain if the Holy Knights really boarded the merchandise train, but it was the only lead they had. After weighing the potential risks and rewards, Amon nodded towards Ven, and they prepared themselves for the athletic feat they would have to pull off when the train would start moving.

Once again, Amon was glad that he accepted Ven's offer to join him. Although he was an accomplished fighter, formulating plans was far from his strong suit. Had he been alone with Bel, it was likely that they wouldn't have been able to push the Holy Knights so far as to flee the city.

After a few minutes, a static ringing sound could be heard from the magnetic train. This signified that the electromagnets were charging and the train was about to depart. Amon looked a Ven, who solemnly nodded her head.

They would only have one chance. If they either missed their jump or couldn't get into the train, they would lose the Holy Knights. There were several entrances on the side of the train to board it, but since it was moving, it would be easy to miss them.

Amon readied himself and focused on the task at hand. He didn't any spare time to worry about Ven and could only hope that she would be able to make it. He crouched down slightly and when the train started moving, he started sprinting towards the five-meter high barrier.

There was a distance of approximately twenty meters between Amon and the barrier, a distance he crossed in about two seconds. The guards at the gate were so surprised when they saw this large man running towards them at breakneck speed that they froze on the spot. 

Amon took advantage of their confusion to jump with all his strength over the barrier. He twisted his body in mid-air to reduce the chance of hitting the obstacle and managed to barely make it past. He couldn't readjust his body in the air but managed to land with a somersault to mitigate the impact of the fall. 

He didn't look back to see if Ven had made it and started running towards the train. In an instant, he was next to it and took hold of a rail guard next to some stairs. Exerting all his strength, he was able to forcefully send his body towards the stairs, landing safely inside the train.

He looked back at Ven and saw that she also was able to clear the barrier, but she was a bit slower and landed in the next car of the train.

In the year 2867, the Ravens are a feared organization, seen as liberators by some, and terrorists by others. To topple an all-powerful government named "The Order", they will stop at nothing.

Amon, a young member of the Ravens, is sent on his first mission in the city of New-Paris, where he will face the world's fiercest warriors. Will his skills be enough to take down the Order? Or will he risk losing everything he cares for?

Danny, Maria and their guide Boris with his pet bear Toby boarded a train near the Drachmann border at around 8 in the evening, and now they were far away from the place where they boarded. Almost 24 hours had passed, but Othon was still approximately a 100 miles more. Everyone was sitting quietly, gazing the pitch black sky through the opening at the top of the door while the train was running on the tracks. Toby on the other hand, was in slumber. But then suddenly, the train started slowing down without blowing the horn. Gradually, the speed of the train reduced to zero and it stopped with a squeaking.

Out of curiosity, Boris stood up and looked through the opening at the top of the closed door.

"Why did the train stop?" Maria asked curiously.

Boris could see that the train had stopped in between some wilderness. In that pitch black night, he could only see the dark images of the big pine trees shaking due to the strong wind blowing outside. After listening to Maria's question, he replied, "I don't know. It has stopped at some forest."

Boris again peeked out to observe the situation. Soon one person emerged from the wilderness and got inside a wagon. After that, the train started moving again. Boris couldn't understand the situation on why a train would pick up a person from a forest. He turned around and informed everything to Maria and Danny about the weird event. Everyone was confused and trying to make theories on what could have happened.

While they were discussing among themselves, the train again started slowing down after 1 hour of the first stop. This time, all of them gazed through the opening and saw that the train had again stopped in between some wilderness. And this time also, a person came out of the wilderness and entered inside the wagon next to the wagon where the first person entered. The same incident happened again after some time when the train stopped at a forest and someone entered in a wagon next to the wagon where the previous person entered.

Boris and others understood the pattern that after a certain time interval, the train was stopping and somebody was getting inside a wagon next to the wagon where the previous person entered. After six hours since the first person who boarded the first wagon, the next person was supposed to enter the fifth wagon, and Boris and other were inside the sixth wagon. As expected, the train stopped at an isolated place and a big bulky man wearing shredded clothes entered inside the fifth wagon. And after that man boarded, the train again started moving.

"Something doesn't seem right. I think after some time, someone is going to enter this wagon," Boris shared his concern.

Maria and Danny gulped out of fear when they heard Boris because they were also expecting the same thing.

"Why is only a single person getting into each wagon?" Danny asked with a tensed face.

"I am as clueless as you are," Boris replied.

"I have a bad feeling…we should get out of this train before it stops the next time," Maria advised with a frightened face.

"I think you are right, even I have a bad feeling about this train," Boris said.

Danny's eyes widened upon listening to Boris' reply. Meanwhile, Boris explained the escape plan, "As the train is at full speed, you two shouldn't jump. Go to the roof of this wagon and walk to the last wagon, and when the train will stop next time, just get off this train."

Boris' plan was only for Maria and Danny, so Maria raised her eyebrows and asked, "What about you?"

Boris looked toward Toby, who was sleeping quietly and sighed. "I can't leave my friend," he said.

"You are staying with Toby?" Danny exclaimed.

Boris looked at Danny, and replied very calmly, "Yes."

"But, what if something happens to you?" Maria showed her concern.

"It was my plan to board this train, it was my plan to bring along Toby. So I should be the one to face the consequences. Also, it will be really bad if you two get caught," Boris explained.

"We thought the man General Armstrong believed in, would be smart," Maria smiled while teasing.

Meanwhile, Danny got out of the door and started climbing toward the roof. Maria also got near the door and began climbing.

"She has the tendency to trust stupid and broken people…do you know why?" Boris said while Maria was climbing.

Soon after listening to Boris' question, Maria stopped climbing and looked toward Boris, and asked, "Why?"

"Because they are loyal," Boris grinned

Maria was amazed the way he spoke about General Armstrong as if he knew her very well. She then continued climbing and reached the roof.

Maria and Danny then started walking on the roof toward the back of the train while Boris stayed in the wagon waiting for the mystery to uncover. And as expected, after some time the train started slowing down and stopped. Boris and Toby were sitting, and looking toward the opened door waiting for some mystery person to show up from the wilderness.

They waited for 10 minutes, but neither anyone came nor the train started. Boris decided to go out to have a look and Toby followed him. Both of them got off the train and stepped on the land covered in snow. Because of the absence of the moon, the snow covering the area and light snowflakes falling from the sky were unable to show their beauty. Boris and Toby walked further ahead, but due to the darkness, Boris was unable to see anything clearly. He was fully relying on Toby's night vision. Suddenly, the train started moving and no one came out of the wilderness to board the train, which Boris wasn't expecting. As the train was gone, Boris had no option but to proceed toward the forest in front of him with Toby.

Jiang Chen was now kind of sure that she was his Ziyi. No matter what, he needs to clear their misunderstanding and get her back in his life. He wanted to hold her hand, but unexpectedly, Ziyi  pressed the fire alarm button in the next moment. 
Originally, Jiang Chen expected that Ziyi might be disliked to speak with him. So, he booked the entire train,hoping that  she can't do anything during the travel since,it's non-stop and only two of them are the passengers.But he underestimated Ziyi's spontaneity and stubbornness . He disabled the stop button functionality of the train,thinking that she may press it to stop the train. But, Never in his wildest dreams, he imagined that she would press  fire alarm. Once it's buzzed, no matter whatever/wherever it may be, the train would be halted in the next instant. He looked at the surroundings and to his surprise, the train halted exactly infront of a train station. Ziyi dragged her trolley out of the train and walked out swiftly.
Emergency train maintenance support rushed inside the train verify the fire threat, but to their surprise, only Jiang Chen was sitting in a window seat,staring at the girl standing on the platform.After two minutes, she got inside an another train. This time, Jiang Chen didn't rush out and Ziyi's train left. After few minutes, Jiang Chen's train also started off to London.
Jiang Chen closed his eyes and started processing the things slowly. The way, their conversation went, 30 minutes for narrating the story, later Q & A session, her divulging him into some old thoughts, leading to the attention diversion, last 5 minutes of giving time......everything was calculated...Yes!! She calculated everything accurately. Even the time, where she pressed the fire alarm also coincided with the train station, where in just another few minutes another train arrived, without even giving him a chance a chase her..Originally, she must have got to the train station to purchase the train ticket or buy it online in order to scan inside the train. But, she did neither and calmly got inside the train, without any hindrance. But online purchase, before 5 minutes of train's arrival is not possible. That means, someone must have already purchased for her.That means, she knows from the beginning itself, that she needs to get down in this train station...
Someone buying an online ticket ?? who could it be?? Could it be her friends ?? But, none of them looked back after she got into the train....But no matter what, he should appreciate her planning&timing. It's perfect.....just perfect !!
Jiang Chen smirked at her smartness,but suddenly his heart started panicking. His Ziyi is completely innocent, unlike the one infront of him before. It's very hard for her to plan and implement. Her IQ is also extremely low and she could barely pass the national entrance exam.But, the girl earlier was as sharp as knife...What if ? What if, she is not his Ziyi ?, a little thought sent a shiver in his spine.
************
Ziyi made a call to Zaw and said, "Got in"
Zaw felt relieved and answered, "Thank God !! None of the messages got delivered. I was just worried and thought of using encryption algorithm for jammer activation"
Ziyi chuckled and said, "He he...Relax Zaw !! Everything is normal. I am going to home and will start tomorrow to the USA ....You guys have fun !!"
"Hmm....Forgot to inform, Mr. Jiang also booked a flight to the US tomorrow, from Heathrow !!.....It's same one you're travelling to"
Ziyi chuckled and answered " I know he would something crazy like this"
"Then.....??"
"Don't worry !! I won't travel in the same flight. I can't stop a flight midairway and get into another flight...Isn't it ?", Ziyi laughed.
"Ha ha", Zaw joined the laughter happily.

For five long years, without giving upon a single day, he searched for her !!

To Jiang Chen,the only heir of Jiang group, she is an obsession. He couldn’t understand the reason why his best friend, cut off all the contacts without any reason. Her leaving was a nightmare and he couldn’t sleep well from the day she left.

As a miracle, he met her in the UK. 

To Zhang Zhiyi, Jiang Chen was always her unrequited first love. A man for whom,she was willing to give up everything, turned into an enemy. At present she even hates to breathe the same air if he is within the vicinity.

A story of two childhood best friends, grown with a strong bond of affection turned into two adults who hate each other.

Little Ziyi proposed little Jiang Chen when she was three years. 

Ziyi: “I love you”
Chen: “I am too small to give you love now. When I become an adult, I will give you all the love in this world"

====================================


Chen: “Be ready at tomorrow morning. We will go to Civil Affairs Bureau to register marriage"
Ziyi: “No way. I won’t”
Chen: “I didn't ask for your permission. This is just an information”
Ziyi: “I will marry in your dreams”

Chen leaned forward and saying, "I have no interest in virtual marriages. But if you insist, I will sleep here to marry in dreams"

====================================

The next day he dragged her to Civil affairs Bureau to get red book and the first thing he did after marriage was sleeping for 22 hours continuously !!!!

A story that blends love-hate relationship and mirrors friendship and portraying college life with lot of mysterious twists, is on its way. Hope you all will enjoy it. This is my first novel and pardon me if there are any errors

Ever since she evolved, this was the first time Lin Sanjiu doubted her eyesight. But, no matter how many times she looked at the route map, the next stop was still Mausoleum Elementary Station—the stop which was originally after Kisaragi Station had now been changed to 'Home'. 
"What does this mean? Is it forcing me to alight at this station?" Lin Sanjiu stood still in the same spot while she thought about the situation. When she looked up again, she discovered that, somehow, once again, it was dark outside the train. It looked exactly like the previous part of the track before she arrived at Mausoleum Elementary.
Even though she didn't know how the train managed to operate in this manner, Lin Sanjiu decided that she would clench her teeth and alight at Mausoleum Elementary Station if she really did not have a choice. No matter how normal this train was compared to that elementary school, she knew she couldn't possibly stay on this train for fourteen months without eating or drinking.
Lin Sanjiu did not know what to make of this situation as she walked back to sit in her original seat, feeling a little confused and perplexed. Thinking about it rationally, she would feel better if she sat down, as it would help her preserve some energy, but she couldn't explain why she didn't feel like sitting. Previously, she faced the same situation. She took quite a while to convince herself to sit—Lin Sanjiu looked around at the other seats. Regardless, she didn't want to go near any of the seats.
"Nevermind. I should search for some clues in this train... If it doesn't work out, I will smash open the door to the driver's compartment." However, given the circumstances, Lin Sanjiu figured out that the driver's compartment was probably empty. She grumbled and dragged her feet through all train carriages and started inspecting every detail.
The fluorescent light in the train carriage flickered. Lin Sanjiu was all alone. The train was traveling through a seemingly endless dark tunnel. Occasionally, the train would swerve left or right, and Lin Sanjiu would hold on to the train handle to maintain her balance. This time, she found many details she failed to notice previously. But they seemed almost useless...
"A flatten cigarette butt proves that there were other people here in the past, right? Why is there an advertisement leaflet here..."
Finding these items, which reminded her of her previous normal daily life, meant that there was some sign of human activity. This calmed Lin Sanjiu's anxiety quite a bit. Once she relaxed a little, she found it funny that she felt an aversion for the train seats. She shook her head and forced herself to sit down in a seat beside the train door. She actually planned to sit down to reserve her energy and compose herself. But seconds after she sat down, before she could think about the unusual aspects of this world, she heard a soft screech from the train brakes. The train slowed down almost instantaneously—she looked up and saw the train gradually driving toward the station platform.
[It has been less than 20 minutes, isn't this a little too fast compared to the previous time?]
The dot which represented 'Home' and the dot which represented 'Mausoleum Elementary' were still very far apart, so she assumed that it would take at least a few hours before the train arrived at the station again. She stood up to alight from the train, feeling very uncertain, but her heart froze for a second without warning.
When she saw Mausoleum Elementary the previous time, the position of the school was directly outside the very carriage she was in. Oddly, when she moved down another five train carriages, the position of the elementary school was still directly outside, such that her field of vision was still in line with the gates of the elementary school. This was the same scene she experienced previously.
It was almost as if the gates of the school were moving according to her position. When the teachers and children saw her, they smiled even more brilliantly. This time, Lin Sanjiu could even see the mole on the teacher's cheek very clearly.
This was because... the road had disappeared.
Previously, there was definitely a narrow road from the train station to the school. Without this road, Lin Sanjiu couldn't imagine how people would actually walk to the school. On the other hand, without the road, the entrance to Mausoleum Elementary was almost right outside the glass wall of the train station. It was as though the entire school had shifted one large step forward.
Naturally, the people standing at the gates of the school were now closer to the train station. The boy who was standing at the foremost position was so close to the glass wall of the train station that he was squishing his face against the glass, showing her his oddly flatten, misshapen face. Yet, he didn't even consider moving back one step. Lin Sanjiu could still see the smile under his squished, crooked nose.
"If I don't alight here, are they coming over to receive me?" A terrifying thought surfaced in Lin Sanjiu's mind. She had made a firm decision to alight just a few minutes ago, but right now her determination had faded like melting snow in spring. She turned her head back and watched the cigarette butt, lying on the floor of the carriage, silently. She immediately felt that it was safer staying on the train. [Anyone else would also refuse to get off the train, right?]
[If I don't get off the train, those people might not... come to get me... Maybe, I am overthinking about this?]
The train door beeped twice almost like it was urging her to quickly make a decision. Lin Sanjiu clenched her teeth and was about to take an irrevocable step forward when she caught a glimpse of a ball of paper stuffed in the seat she was sitting previously, it was sticking out from the crevice between the back support and the cushion of the seat. She thought she saw someone's handwriting on the piece of paper as well.
When she was sitting, she didn't noticed it because of its angle. If she didn't hesitate for some time at the door, she would have missed that item...
Lin Sanjiu's heart thumped loudly, she felt like a student who had finally found an excuse not to go to school. She retreated from the door, as if escaping. When she stuck her hand into the crevice of the seat, the door closed once again.
Meanwhile, the teacher and students standing outside the glass window did not look even one bit disappointed. Their smiles were still the same. But now, each and every pair of eyes followed the train as it moved until their pupils reached the corners of their eyes.
Lin Sanjiu only let out a sigh of relief when the school disappeared out of sight. She pinched the ball of paper with her fingers and pulled it out hurriedly. As she was a bit careless, she tore the paper a little.
The paper was very thin, and it appeared to be a torn corner of a newspaper without any print. There were indeed some hand-written words on the piece of paper. Lin Sanjiu quickly unraveled the paper. When she saw the words, she couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, as it was Chinese.
Concentrating, Lin Sanjiu read the note again and she felt a chill all over. She felt fearful as she remembered what just happened.
"Do not alight from the train! You must not alight from the train—"
It looked like a female's handwriting. It was quite messy, as if the person had scribbled this note in a hurry. Half of the second 'train' on the note had been torn. There was definitely words on the other half of the paper but Lin Sanjiu didn't know where it was.
[Do not alight from the train!] Momentarily, this was the only sentence which echoed in Lin Sanjiu's mind. Cold wind continued blowing at her. Shivering and at a loss as to what to do, she looked up. If it was up to her, she didn't want to get off this train either. She might have limited food supply, but with that [Vending Machine], it wasn't really a pressing problem.
The real problem now was...
Lin Sanjiu stared fixedly at the train's route map. The next stop was still Mausoleum Elementary Station. [What should I do if that teacher and her students come even closer the next time around.]
And... she couldn't help thinking about a horrible thing. If the girl who wrote the note didn't alight from the train... where was the girl now?


Lin Sanjiu is a normal woman in modern-day society. Everyone admires her outstandingly handsome, gentle, and rich boyfriend. However, Lin Sanjiu feels vaguely afraid of this "perfect" boyfriend. She's always felt that her boyfriend looks at her like she's a tasty piece of meat...

The transformation happened one night. Sanjiu got into an argument with her boyfriend, and he finally revealed his true colors. As it turns out, he was a being with special abilities from an apocalyptic world who wanted to eat Sanjiu to help him evolve. To his dismay, he ended up being the one killed by Sanjiu with her hidden abilities instead.

However, Sanjiu's troubles don't end with her dead boyfriend. In fact, the world she resides in is starting to go through unusual changes. This world is becoming a scorching hot hellhole...

Ian and others manage to catch up to the train car using the mountain jeep, then ian drove the jeep at the side of the train car "go!" ian ordered them, they opened the door and jump towards the train car. ian then pressed a button at the car and then he also jump towards the train.

"yeah we know. ian said that earlier." said ruby ian sighted "just go." they nodded. 

ruby, ian, oobleck and zwei ran infront of the train they then saw a robot charging towards them. oobleck thermos expanded transforming to a club but it looks like a torch because of a flame at the top. zwei stood infront of oobleck and he swing his club at zwei causing the dog to flew at the robot like a canon ball. 

zwei hit the robot causing it to stumble and fall off the train "whew! i call that a canon dog." ian joke to ruby who only shake her head at ian joke. then another robot fall off the train by oobleck they then ran towards oobleck helping him fend off some robots.

"ian!" shouted pyrrha in worry she was about to use her semblance to help ian stop the train but she was stopped by him. "there's no time. gather together!" he yelled at them because he saw that it is to late as the train was going to crash towards the sealed door even with the help of pyrrha. he didnt hesitate and expanded his tails to cover them.
