Kaito, a young man working as a volunteer accidentally drowns in his bathtub. Follow his adventures as he is reincarnated in another world.

After they left the abandoned building, they drove back to Ethan Chnace's place. 

Today supposed to be a happy day for the both of them. But something like this happen. 

On their way to the mansion, none of the open their mouth to speak. It's dead silenced. 

Aylin Lui left cheek was red radish because of the hard slapped. Her clothes was covered with blood. The smell of blood was disgusting. 

She closed her eyes and thought in her head, 'Chen Binyu, you have the guts to come to me yourself. I won't let you live a good life.' 

Ethan Chance took a quick glared at the woman sitting next to him. The woman eyes are closed. She must be tired for protecting herself from those men. 

Ethan Chance face turned ugly. Those men have to nerds to hurts my woman. I'll let you guys living in hell. 

Thinking of those men made Ethan Chance anger rushed in his heart. 'Where their confident come from. There must be someone behind everything that happened today.'

After driving for a while they reached the mansion.

Ethan Chance wrapped his hand on Aylin Lui shoulder.

When the servants see that their Boss's woman body was full of blood, their eyes are widen. They wonder who have the guts to do this to their boss's woman. 

"Make something soft for her to eat." With coldness in his words. He turned around and take Aylin Lui in her bedroom. 

"Take a warm bath. I'll be waiting for you in the living room." Ethan Chance said softly. 

"Mmm..." Aylin Lui closed the bathroom door behind her and went straight to the bathtub to take a bath.

After making sure that Aylin Lui go take a warm bath, Ethan Chance turned around and walked out from Aylin Lui bedroom. 

Ethan Chance went to the living room and made a phone called. 

"What can i do for you boss?" Bin asked.

"Have you take care of the mess there?" 

"Yes boss."

"Did you find out who's the master behind them?"

"N... no. Their mouth are tight. They didn't open their mouth." Bin said nervously.

"Make them living in hell." Ethan Chance face turned darker. 

"Got it boss." 

After hang up the called, Ethan Chance went in the kitchen. 

The chefs are surprised to see their boss walked in the kitchen for the first time since they started working here.

"Master, is there anything you want us to cook?" The head of the chef asked nervously.

"Is the foods ready?" Ethan Chance asked coldly.

"The foods are almost ready Master. Since miss Lui condition is not good, we cook some chicken ginger soup for her. I'll give her strength." The head of the chef said.

"Make sure everything ready when she come out." Ethan Chance turned around and walked out from the kitchen.

The chefs looked at each other in confusing. When did our Master started caring miss Lui. When he first found out that miss Lui was living in his mansion, he had a long argued with his uncle.

-----

After Aylin Lui took off her clothes, she walked in the bathtub and sat there.

She closed her eyes and speak in her head. 'Dad, its been a while since you left me alone. I miss you so much. Don't worry dad, i'll make everyone pay for what thy did.' 

It been a while since she killed someone. It doesn't feel bad holding the gun again. 

The next second Aylin Lui face turned cold, "Chen Binyu.... just wait a little longer. Your good days won't last long."

After Aylin Lui soaking herself in the warm water for a while, she feel much better. 

She walked from the bathtub and walked in front of the mirror. She stand in front of the mirror. She stared at her reflection in the mirror. A few moments later, there's a creepy smile show on her face. 

"You mess with the wrong person Chen Binyu. I'll return everything that you did to me."

Aylin Lui put on clean clothes, dried her hair, then she went out her bedroom.

Ethan Chance was reading magazine while drinking his coffee. When he noticed that Aylin Lui was walking toward her, he closed his magazine and coffee on the table. He looked up at her and smile. 

Aylin Lui was surprised to see Ethan Chance smile. 

Aylin Lui sat next to him and put her hand on his forehead.

"What are you doing?" Ethan Chance asked in surprised.

Aylin Lui withdraw her hand then she turned to face Ethan Chance "You don't have fever."

Ethan Chance was confused. Why would she think that he's sick. Did he looks like a sick person?

"Why would you think that?" 

"I just saw you smiling a few second ago. So i though you might be sick."

Ethan Chance face turned dark. This woman just come out from the dangerous and now she's joking. Is she sick?

Aylin Lui looked at Ethan Chance in the eyes "Oh yeah.... your men captured those men who are still alive right?"

 "Mmm..."

"Then did they find anything out?"

"No. My men will take care of it. You don't need to worry about it."

"That mean they didn't open their mouth even your men torture them." Aylin Lui continued, "I'll go there myself later. Let see if they still have the gut to keep their mouth shut."

Ethan Chance looked at her and smile "Got it."

Huh? Why did this man keep smiling today?
This is so creepy.

Aylin Lui turned around to avoid Ethan Chance stares. Why did this man keep staring at me? 

"I'm hungry. I haven't eaten anything. I left early in the morning. So now i'm hungry." Aylin Lui stand up and walked in the dining room.

Ethan Chance stand up while smiling and followed her to the dining room.

The foods are delicious. The chicken ginger soup was delicious. Eating delicious foods made Aylin Lui mood better.

Today's the day.

He have Mansions?  So what? She have way bigger Mansions than him. He is the gangsters king? So what? She’s the gangsters king of kings.




After Aylin Lui moves in her dad best friend nephew Mansion, she pretend she’s a shy quite scary person.

Zhao Ming shivered when his hands touched her neck. 
His hands were warm and when they came in contact with her cold skin, it felt comfortable. 
She felt relieved from his massage because he was very gentle while giving her a massage. 
Her lips curled up in a smile, but her smile froze when she looked down. 
By now she didn't notice it because everything happened so quickly and she wasn't in her right mind since she woke up, but when she looked down her eyes widened in shock. 
' I am… naked?' 
Her body froze when her gaze fell on her bare chest. Thankfully, she was in the bathtub and there was foam in it, so it wasn't much visible but she was fully naked underwater. 
When she straightened up, Ji Cheng was behind her that's why he couldn't see, but her chest was completely bare revealing her bo*bs. 
Her face turned red from embarrassment as she hurriedly used her hands to cover her chest. 
" Get out." she said in a low voice, her head was held down as her body trembled in embarrassment. 
Ji Cheng who was massaging her neck froze when he heard her words. He didn't know what happened to her suddenly. 
" What happened?" he asked as he tried to look at her but Zhao Ming laid inside the tub covering herself and shouted again. 
" I said get out. Get out." She didn't care about formality or anything. She tried to hide herself under the water. 
Ji Cheng was caught off guard when he saw her getting hyper. But then he realized what was happening seeing her hiding under the water. 
His ears turned red as he pursed his lips. He wanted to look at her and stay longer but he knows that he can't do this at this moment. 
Even though Zhao Ming didn't push him away just now, he can't be rash with his actions. 
He needs to give her some time to let her understand her feelings. 
He stood up and didn't turn to look at her. 
Zhao Ming looked at his actions as she pursed her lips. She became alerted when he suddenly stopped in his steps. 
" What… What happened?" Zhao Ming asked while stuttering. 
" Ahm.. The towel is there, so you can come out when you're done" he said while pointing towards the towel on the side rack which was at the entrance of the bathroom. 
Zhao Ming followed her gaze where he pointed. She saw the towel was placed on the table. 
" Hm..Now go out" she said in a low voice as she held her head down.
Her whole face has turned scarlet red because of the kiss… And the embarrassment that she had to face.
' Not only they kissed, but she was fully naked during the kiss.' she felt like crying at this moment. 
When Ji Cheng left the bathroom, Zhao Ming sighed heavily. 
She looked at the door closing up and murmured, " What the hell just happened? Did he just kiss me? On the lips?" 
She still couldn't believe that they actually kissed. 
She touched her lips in daze on which his taste was still lingering. She remembered how soft his lips were when he kissed her. 
The feeling which she felt at that time was totally foreign to her. She has never kissed anyone, so it was her first kiss. 
Though she never kissed anyone before, she has always thought about her first kiss. 
Every girl has big expectations from their first kiss but she has never thought in her wild dreams that she would have her first kiss in the… Bathtub? 
She face palmed herself when she realized how embarrassing this situation was. 
" Then he must have seen my body too? Ahh… Xie Ming.. You're too stupid. How could you sleep while bathing?" she cried out in agony.
" But… He Was good." a smile appeared on her lips when she remembered how he kissed her. 
Though she never kissed anyone before, she could still say that he was a good kisser. 
Suddenly,  she slapped her face lightly as she straightened up, " What the hell you're thinking Xie Ming? You're so creepy." she shouted at herself for being so perverted. 
She hurriedly got out of the bathtub and wiped herself with the towel he showed her earlier. 
After changing her clothes, she sheepishly opened the bathroom door. She was afraid that he might be outside. 
She sighed in relief when she did not find him outside the bathroom. 
" Miss." 
" Ahh"
Zhao Ming jumped in shock when she heard Lu shi's voice from the side. It startled her because she was not expecting her and didn't see her either. 
" You scared me." she placed her hand over her chest as she breathed out in relief. 
" What are you doing here?" Zhao Ming asked her as she got out of the bathroom and stood in front of Lu shi. 
" Ah.. Just now when I was standing in front of your room with the tray of snacks in my hand, his highness saw me and called me over." 
" He asked me to stand here because you were bathing and asked me to look out for you" she said while grinning. 
Ji Cheng was initially standing in front of the bathroom after he came out. 
He doesn't want her to leave her alone since the door was not locked. He doesn't want anyone else to see her in this state. 
' Only he can do so.' 
When he saw Lu shi, he asked her to stand in front of the bathroom and don't let anyone go inside. 
When Zhao Ming heard Lu shi's words, her lips curled upwards in a smile when she realized why Ji Cheng asked Lu shi to stand outside. 
Her heart feels warm because of the way he acted. 
" Where is he now?" Zhao Ming asked Lu shi as they started walking towards her room. 
" Who? His highness? He went to the room. You should also hurry up and go" Lu shi urged her to go to her room. 
Zhao Ming stopped in her steps when she heard her words. She felt her heart beating faster. 
She doesn't know how she could face him after so much happened between them. She can't forget that she was naked in front of him. 
'It's so embarrassing.' h er facial expressions turned like she was about to cry. 
Lu shi looked up and saw Zhao Ming's frowned expressions. From the side, she looked like she was about to cry. 
" Miss, what happened? Why are you crying?" she got worried seeing Zhao Ming's expressions. 
. 
" Who is crying?" Zhao Ming retorted when she heard her words. 
She wasn't crying, she just felt like crying. There is a difference between the two.

Thank you ❤️

But the very next day, news arrived that made Carlton Brock's life even more difficult than it already was. A telex had arrived from Washington! It ran:

QUEEN OF ROSES ARRIVED SAFELY STOP INSTRUCTIONS RECEIVED UNDERSTOOD AND IMPLEMENTED STOP SITREP WASHINGTON NUMEROUS FIREARMS INCIDENTS BUT SITUATION NOW UNDER CONTROL STOP POWER PARTIALLY RESTORED STOP SEVEN CUBES WITHIN A RADIUS OF SIXTY KILOMETERS STOP ALL DISAPPEARED AFTER COLLECTING BETWEEN SEVENTY SIX AND NINETY THREE THOUSAND ITEMS PER CUBE STOP DETAILED VERBAL REPORT AS SOON AS TELEPHONES ON YOUR END START WORKING STOP MESSAGE ENDS

Brock shouted at his staff to stuff a red-hot poker up the collective ass of people working on the landline phone system. Of course the delegates got wind of what was happening. When he went to the general assembly for yet another round of voting, they rushed him like a bunch of groupies mobbing a rock star. Carlton Brock liked this sort of thing, but it was damned inconvenient at this moment.

He brushed off anxious enquiries as well as he could. Yes, it appeared that telephone landlines were working. Landlines, which meant communication by phone throughout the United States and maybe, maybe Canada and Mexico, but not overseas.

Fifty voices had immediately started reminding him that there were numerous undersea cables between all the continents in the world. Luckily, Nelson Odongo took the stage and got the day's agenda under way. It was a very busy agenda that included voting on a dozen separate pieces of important legislation.

Brock slipped out of the chamber as soon as his 'aye' was counted during the final vote, and beat a strategic retreat to his room. But he found no peace, because a stream of aides began bringing him the first comprehensive reports on the situation in New York.

Over the past week, there had been over fifty thousand reported firearms incidents and most likely as many unreported ones. Eighty seven policemen and twenty soldiers had lost their lives. This tally would have been much lower had the medical services operated normally.

They didn't. The power cut and the water shortage that followed had greatly affected hospitals and clinics in the city. The number of people they could treat, and the types of injuries they could treat were both severely limited. Even light wounds were lethal.

But the casualties among the policemen and servicemen were tiny compared to casualties among the civilian population. Most of the deaths weren't due to violence. Something as trivial as catching a light cold could be fatal. Lack of heating turned the cold into flu, and flu into pneumonia.

Nearly all the stores in the city had been thoroughly looted. The loot had included everything that could be eaten or drunk. Both in spite of this and because of that, many people ran out of food. Even more had run out of water and drank from the river and died. Drinking water from the river was a very bad move. It produced vomiting, often followed by diarrhea and a painful death for a lot of people. 

There was no precise death toll available, but estimates put fatalities in tens of thousands.

A big part of Central Park had been turned into a makeshift cemetery. Fortunately, that provided a good excuse to keep the area cordoned off in spite of the cube's disappearance. The goods transported had included a slab of dirty pig iron! Soon, the New York in the New World would be producing iron tools.

This last piece of news cheered Carlton Brock up considerably. He assembled his staff in his suite and ceremoniously opened the gas-powered, mobile-home fridge that had been stolen for him by his bodyguards. He took out all six bottles of champagne, opened them to whoops from his staff, and poured them out.

Raising his glass, he said:

"I propose a toast. To the brave men and women building a new America in the New World!"

A few kilometers away, Li Yang, Charlene Lee, and a visibly chastened Harper Lee raised their cups in a toast of their own. The cups contained coffee, and bad instant coffee at that. Li Yang did not drink alcohol, and it never crossed his mind to loot a few bottles.
"To freedom!" said Li Yang, meaning freedom from hunger - he had been eating very well indeed for almost a week.
"To freedom!" Charlene Lee, meaning freedom from paying rent.
"To freedom!" said Harper Lee, meaning it very literally. He had been released from jail just a few hours earlier. His clothes were torn and stained in several spots - he hadn't yet had the time to change. His face was stained too, with dirt and bruises.

Harper Lee had been on the receiving end of three beatings during his short time in jail. The first was from the cops, for stealing. The second was from some white boys that had also been jailed, for being a nigger. After he was moved to a different cell, he received his third beating - from black boys, for being a nigger.
He put away his cup, looked at Li Yang, and said:

"Hey, Bruce. I see you've laid in a hell of a water supply. So I would like to ask you, if I could... I am filthy. I just cannot stand myself like that. And I saw that the bathtub is full of water. Do you think I... Do you think I could..."

Harper always called Li Yang 'Bruce'. He maintained that Li Yang reminded him of Bruce Lee, the famous martial artist and actor. It was part of his training as an insurance salesman to compliment people, preferably in a special way meant for them only. That way, the compliment appeared genuine. That way, Harper Lee got to sell more insurance policies.

Li Yang said:
"Okay. Why not? But we must first fill all the empty containers. Bottles, cans, pots, whatever. I've been putting the empties in the landlady's room. We can get them filled after we've had tea and then you can have your wash."
"I want to wash first," said Charlene. "I'm not that dirty and Harper can use my bathwater. Harper, remember aunt Loelia and how she bathed the two of us in that old bathtub she had? You always splashed water in my face. Wasn't it fun?"
Harper sighed. He was good at out-maneuvering people verbally: it was part of his job. But he wasn't even half as good as his sister.
"Okay," he said. "But wipe the lather off with a towel before you rinse yourself. Better still, just give yourself a wipe with a wet towel. You said you're not that dirty."

He looked at Li Yang and saw that Li Yang wasn't looking pleased. He was a good insurance salesman, and he instantly knew why.
"Bruce," he said. "Why don't you go first? You're always so goddamn clean anyway it almost hurts to look at you. You go first, Charlene second, I go third. Just please, guys, leave the water reasonably clean for me. Water's not enough for me anyway, after that place. I need a fucking paint-stripper."

Everybody laughed. Then Li Yang said:
"Ladies first. Charlene, you go first."
"You're such a gentleman," said Charlene, and blew him a kiss. She finished her tea right away and said:
"Excuse me, gentlemen." She left the kitchen softly humming a tune. Li Yang heard her go into the landlady's room and the clatter of an overturned pot. He looked at Harper and said:

"You know about the cubes?"
Harper nodded.
"I know about the cubes," he said.
"You know what they contain?"
"That I'm not so sure about," said Harper. "Some sort of mat to be used as bed, I heard. And big metal syringes of some drug. Oh yeah, and reading lights."
"Reading lights?"
"That's what I heard."
"You haven't seen any of those reading lights? Or mats, or the metal syringes?"
"No. We didn't even see any of those glowing cubes. We stayed home at Bobby's place for a couple of days after that whole shit came down. My first time out - the cops grabbed me."

Li Yang grinned at Harper. For the first time ever, he felt superior to him. He said:

"Well, do I ever have a surprise for you."

SYNOPSIS

It is January 2nd, 2035. In New York, leaders of all the world's nations are assembling to agree on a plan to save the dying planet: Earth.

Before they can agree on anything, disaster strikes. An electromagnetic storm destroys the global power grid, and cuts communications. Billions of people die.

But as soon as the storm dies down, millions of mysterious, glowing cubes appear all over the globe. The cubes contain tools that will let humans colonize a new planet: a bigger, richer version of Earth.

The newly formed Colonial Council, which answers to the United Nations, has one goal: to ease the crisis on Earth by transfers of goods and resources from the New World.

Millions of new colonizers rush to the New World, united by a common purpose: to turn their dreams into reality.

Some dream of getting rich by trading New World goods. Some dream of conquest, and building an empire. Some dream of peace, adoration, and love.

Some will succeed, and others will fail.

But fortune always favors the brave.
