It's a new world of Kill or Be Killed.

A paradise for all sorts of crazies to go wild.

Lost worlds trapped in mystery boxes, fantastical terrors written inside simplistic journals, and a shop which offers anything you desire. All contained in a single app.

It is surprising how quickly morals could be abandoned for personal gain. But that is what it means to be human.

Personally, I believe humans to be inherently evil.

You shouldn't be afraid of the demons in your nightmare. Be afraid of the demons outside of it.

There is a box inside is another box and inside that is another box is there an end













Probably












Maybe
























?

She moved the last of the boxes out of her Dead Grandmother's house. She paused at the sight of a pile of boxes sitting at the end of the driveway and craned her neck to peek at the curb. The car was gone. She checked her phone. 

3rd Younger Sis: [We're going to drop off the rest of the boxes.]

Her eyebrow twitched. 

What boxes? When everything is still here!

She held her head, a heavy sigh poured out of her.

She didn't even want to be here but she was begged to help. And look now she was stranded amidst a sea of boxes...

There should have still been plenty of space in the back of the van, seeing them, she was certain none had it even made it into the car. 

 Her sister probably got horny and made an excuse to have some alone time with her boyfriend. 

What was stopping them from waiting until the move was finished before going on a face-sucking spree? 

She really couldn't process the minds of the young.

Why would Grandmother give such ungrateful children all of her assets?

As she placed down the boxes, she began to move and organize the ones she marked based off fragility. When the car came back, she'd put the heavy ones in first and the lighter ones on top. This will save them time once they get back. 

As she did so one of the small boxes proved to be heavier than it looked. Its bottom gave out. Thankfully it was only filled with what looked like notebooks and journals.

A white book caught her eye, she nearly mistook it for a bible due to the lettering. 

[VIORICA]

It was her name in English.

Her Grandmother was the one to name her once she was born, did she base it off a 
storybook?

This intrigued her, her name wasn't a common one in her country after all. 

 Unlike the rest of her cousins she had never been scolded or doted on by her Grandmother. She hadn't been ignored though. Her Grandmother always had a way of telling her she was the least favorite but still appreciated.

Intrigued, she flipped the book open to find the rest in english as well.

[Once upon a time, there was a foolish palace maid from a foreign land.]

A watercolor illustration beheld her eyes, a woman with peanut butter skin and chestnut brown hair tied back into a long braid. Viorica found it eerie, her hairstyle was currently the same.

Seeing in this book, her look-alike was described as foolish, her heart felt bitter. She read on. 

[She focused on nothing but working and didn't make friends with those around her.]

Viorica knitted her brows. She didn't come from a wealthy family, going to a good college had never been an option for her. What else was she to do but work? If she wanted to live her dream she needed to do what she could at the very least, she didn't have time for others...

[She ended up dying alone. With no family or relatives to join her bedside as she died.]

Scowling, Viorica flipped the page only to find a blank.

"What the heck? That's it?"

She had always thought her name was unique but now she didn't feel so special. She flipped through the pages then back to the beginning only to feel frustrated. She threw down the book only to hear a jingling sound. Carefully, she shook the book once more and listened closely.

"A false bottom?"

There was a hidden compartment in the book, revealing more pages and a letter. She opened it with a finger as something blue poked out.

[Nothing in this life is temporary, Viorica. Don't let life's futility weigh you down too much. Learn to seek distractions, it'll make bearing with life, tolerable.]

A single gorgeous light blue peacock feather clip-on earring bound to gem lay underneath these handwritten words.

[Enjoy the mundane a bit more.]

She for as long as she could remember ended up having to endure a lot of things. Friendships and relationships were expensive, not that she had ever even met a man that caught her eye to even make her consider abandoning her rules. 

Life was like that. The relationships portrayed on tv were all unrealistic, and unappealing, it only raised the standards of women. The handsome, rich men the populace so liked to gush over… were a rare species to begin with. You'd have higher odds of finding a beautiful woman than a handsome man. 
Not that a handsome man was vital for happiness, but if she was going to have to put up with a person, them being handsome would make them more tolerable. 
She lied down in the grass hugging the book while gazing up at the sky. What is she even thinking? Her brain's gone to mush. 
These days she can't even see her own future. Her own house, wedding, or spouse… it was odd. She was sure she definitely had them. Dreams. Goals. 

As she pondered over the matter of her Grandmother's personal advice she drifted off to sleep on the lawn underneath the warm sun. 

As she dozed off the earring she put on began to glow with light. A shadow fell over her.

Once upon a time, there was a girl who focused on nothing but working. She died alone.

"I'll show you how to open these Heavy Bin Boxes," Lu Li offered.
"That's not the difficult part. Should we really open them? The grand master will definitely find out, and if she refuses to take them, our efforts would be wasted." 
 Water Fairy had already calmed down; she didn't feel like this was a good idea.
These Bin Boxes were the result of using Theft. The lower quality ones were called "Broken Bin Boxes", which were followed by the "Old Bin Boxes", "Sealed Bin Boxes", "Heavy Bin Boxes", "Big Bin Boxes"...
Perhaps there would be better bin boxes in the future, but Lu Li didn't know about them yet.
These boxes had lockpicking level requirement, and most dropped the same few items, including silver coins, gems, potions, and spell books. There was even the potential for some very precious equipment, for example, Shadow Dagger, Teebu's Blazing Longsword and Alcor's Sunrazor...
"If you immediately give it to her after you open it, of course she would find out, but once you leave it out long enough, she won't realize it. Of course, you can't touch the things in the boxes." 
 Clearly, Lu Li wasn't fooled by the beauty of the NPC.
In fact, he had chosen this mission for another reason.
Lu Li understood how to make sure that there were no valuable things in the bin boxes that were handed in. Many people didn't want to complete the quests because of the cost and the possibility that they would be missing out on what was inside the Heavy Bin Boxes.
This was how people were, even though Lu Li himself knew that the chances were slim.
However, no matter how small the chances were, people couldn't help but think about it and weigh out whether the quest was really worth it.
It wasn't until one day when someone discovered a little secret.
Someone had accidentally opened a Heavy Bin Box that he had just stolen. It only contained a Healing Potion and some fabric, but because his bag was full, he didn't take the items within. The Heavy Bin Box remained with the other unopened boxes.
What was even more unfortunate was that he didn't get to hand in the quest in time because he had other things to complete first.
He handed in the quest two hours later, so the reputation reward for him was insignificant. However, this was besides the point – Fahrad still took the bin box that he had opened.
Because this was a one-hour quest, most players would have tried to hand the items in as early as possible. Who would wait for two hours to hand in the quest?
After Water Fairy heard about Lu Li's theory, she thought this was too wild, but she also knew that he wasn't one to speak carelessly. Regardless if the information was true or not, it wouldn't hurt to give it a try.
They could just open the box without touching its contents.
The Heavy Bin Box in Lu Li's hand showed a level 50 bronze equipment with horrible Attributes. It was hard to understand why these game designers had even bothered spending time to design this rubbish. He carefully closed the boxes and left the box in his bag.
Later, when he handed in the quest, he could just pass these items up in a certain order.
Water Fairy's boxes also contained nothing of value. These bin boxes were different to treasure chests. The treasure chests in Dawn rarely gave rubbish, but this was the complete opposite with the bin boxes.
Since they had to wait for two hours, both of them continued to steal away.
What was more troublesome was that their bag spaces were limited. Sometimes they would steal so much junk that they had no spaces left to store their bin boxes. At the same time, bin boxes that had been opened could not be stacked, which worsened the situation. 
 Lu Li had about a hundred spaces in his bag. He had specifically cleaned out his bag before he came, but it wasn't long before it was filled with junk again.
As the number of boxes in their bag continued to grow, so did the variety of items within.
Besides those precious items that only existed in the legends, a Ruby would be the most valuable item. Every time they saw a Ruby in a box, Lu Li would remove it and the box would disappear.
Rubies were medium-tier materials that were quite valuable and useful for many different trading skills. These types of boxes were too valuable to be handed in for quest purposes.
Water Fairy had opened a "Thief's Diary", which was a light book that recorded a nameless Thief's knowledge of the class. It was a single use item and disappeared after it was read. The item increased the profession level of a Thief skill, so it was a rather decent item.
The most common way for players to level up their skills these days was to use skill points.
Another way was to use the skill repeatedly. At this point, it seemed unrealistic to attempt to level up a skill by practice, unless it was one that was commonly used at all times. Lu Li's Shadow Strike was a good example of this.
The last tactic was through reading these items left behind from others.
Lu Li and Water Fairy had spent their time listening to Fahrad's nonsense. It was pointless at first, but they soon realized that her words contained knowledge of the Thief class. If you paid attention and listened, your skill profession level would also increase.
Lu Li had read the "Thief's Diary" in his previous life like a novel.
There was only one book, so Lu Li wouldn't ask to have it for himself. It wasn't a boring book either, and if they opened enough boxes, there was bound to be another one lying around.
They often found books during their theft. Most were worthless, but Lu Li didn't dislike these things. He planned to collect all of them and read them at a later point in his spare time. As a poor kid who liked books, it was an enjoyable for him to read and gain knowledge about the game at the same time.
Amongst all the collectable readings that could be obtained from the Theft skills, the most famous piece in Dawn would probably be "A Hot Romance". It told of the love story between General Marcus Jonathan and the female Mage Narnie, about how they hunted Murlocs together and eventually fell in love.
It was a well-written piece of work and drew people towards it, but unfortunately, it was split into many parts.
Some Thieves only read the first part and totally fell in love with the series. They stole like crazy, determined to try and steal the remaining stories.
Unfortunately, even until the time when Lu Li reincarnated, the story was still incomplete. No one had collected all of the pieces.
After two hours, there were more than a hundred boxes in Lu Li's bag. Water Fairy had slightly more that Lu Li. Her bag space was about the same as his, but she had a bracelet that gave her extra bag space. Female players had some advantage in these aspects. 


He had never invested in shares or bought a lottery ticket, and neither did he have any experience in the general business industry. Lu Li found that the only thing he could do was play games. 

Luckily he had experienced rebirth, and was one step ahead of everyone else. Luckily, games had been developing extremely quickly, and there were many people who had become rich through playing games. 

In his ‘past life’, he had spent countless nights awake, in grief and anguish. However, although all of this had been washed away, so what…? This life, he was determined make a fierce counterattack against fate and stand at the very top!

(Third Person)

Jake starts roaming around the school as students begin whispering to each other about Jake. But he doesn't really care about what they all say. 

"Why is he here?" someone asks.

"Didn't know that Jake likes to walk." the other one mocks.
"Yeah. This is new.."

Jake says in his mind "Heh, why do I have this feeling of a sudden urge to kill?"

He keeps on walking til he sees Florian, walking to the left side of the hallway. Jake follows him, and sees a room. The door is open, and he watches Florian as he walks out of the room, holding a box and carrying it outside.

"Hmm, guess it's the supply room? Heh, I need to distract him-" As he is thinking of a plan, Craig comes to Florian, talking about something as Craig gets a box from the supply room, Florian grabs the box outside and starts walking towards Jake.

Jake quickly hides himself somewhere and luckily, he does not get caught.

"Guess he did it for me. Time to destroy all the props."

Jake starts walking into the room, seeing a ton of boxes. He opens each one of them and notices some Halloween decorations and other few non-Halloween decorations which confuses him a bit as he doesn't understand what they are used for. 

He begins getting the Halloween props first, breaking, and tearing them and putting it back inside of the box. He is sweating from breaking the props, out of breath, and did only three boxes until he hears footsteps. 

He starts hiding behind the boxes as he sees Florian and Craig coming inside and starts talking.

"So we need the fake spiders, the pumpkins, bat lights and the banners as well." Florian says as he approaches the boxes.

"Isla's face was full of excitement. It's kinda cute."

Florian glares at Craig with a happy face, saying "Do you love her?"

"Um... no, I don't. It's just she has a really nice smile and personality!" he says as he starts to sweat.

Florian starts humming as he checks the first box near them until "Wh- what?! The pumpkins, it's all broken!"

Craig checks the front of the box, opens it and sees the banners torn into pieces.

"Someone is trying to Sabotage this event. This is unusual. Everyone except the delinquents enjoy the Halloween event but this, only a sociopath would do this."

"Are they doubting me?" Jake says in his mind.

They start to check the other boxes. The Bat Lights are fine but not the rest. They search the other boxes but only find old stuff from the school and inappropriate books hidden underneath it.

"I think this is from the delinquents-" 

They hear footsteps.

"Come on let's just get your book and-" as they walk in, they see Craig holding Ethan's book.

"Well then, can I please have that back?" Ethan asks.

Craig sighs, and gives back the book. 

"Thanks." they say as they walk outside.

"You just gave it to him?! We could have reported him!"

"No, it's risky."

"What do you mean by risky?"

"I know him, and you don't want to mess with him. Let's just get the remaining props and let's move on."

They grab two other boxes from the far side, not noticing Jake. They walk back to the classroom, making Jake destroy everything once more as he says "Hmm, Craig and the Delinquents, what wonders do they have?"

As he questions himself, he starts opening and breaking the props. Once he is finished doing so, he starts to run back as he sees Florian and Craig coming back. He sprints at the nearby stairs as he swings around to go to his classroom until he reaches the door. He feels a soft feeling of touch on his hand.
"What the-"

As he looks behind, he notices it is Isla, going wide red as she drops her books.

Sunday, 3 November 2013
There is absolutely no place in the Philippines that doesn't experience typhoon every year. In my small town, I can vividly remember that the worst and most unforgettable typhoon was in 2013, when we experienced flooding and there was no electricity for more than a month. While other people went crazy, not knowing what to do without TV, which was practically everyone's main source of entertainment, that week-long duration that turned The Pilgrim into a pool of water, was the most exciting time of my life.
Businesses were highly impacted, and everyone's daily life was a big nuisance because no one expected that the flood would not easily subside like it used to. Normally, after a typhoon, there's flood for one day, but then after the rain stops, the town would be back to normal the next day. In 2013, since it was pouring heavy rain for three consecutive days, the flood went above the knee. No one had experienced that before, so people weren't completely ready, and everyone suffered a distressing week. Well, except for me, because that week-long hassle that people had to endure, was the most exciting week. It was the week that I got to know Serena.
"I'm glad we secured all the books from the store. We did a great job, son." Papa and I couldn't believe that we managed to bring all the books to the school library. We do it every year before the typhoon comes, but there's always a feeling of accomplishment every single time. Imagine many, many boxes full of books and school supplies. It took us more than an hour of back-and-forth ride to my school's college library via 'kalesa' or carriage. The Pilgrim School's college department head had always been keen on the safety of our bookstore. Most especially because we are the main source of all books in their curriculum. So, every year, we are expected to close the store and temporarily store all our books in the college library.
Papa has always wanted to build a second story to serve as additional stockroom. That way, we don't have to go through this big hassle every year. But then since there's always just enough money for all of us and hardly any savings, he couldn't afford a second story. We're a family of five with only one source of income, so our daily expenses are crazy. We're not poor. We're not rich either. Our family is just average with little savings, so additional expenses would require additional source of income.
It was a sunny afternoon after the typhoon, which finally stopped the night before, and we were all situated at the second floor of our house because the first floor was flooded. Hailey and Robin who were only 3 and 4, and Marie who was 7, were all in my room, making a big mess. They had gathered all their toys and had not stopped playing since after lunch, and papa and I had been in the hallway doing our own thing. I spent my time at the built-in sofa, overlooking the fake river outside, glancing at it every once in a while, and papa made himself busy by playing Tetris, or Brick Game as he often refers to it. He never runs out of batteries for his Tetris, because it's the only thing he does when he's not watching TV. It's his second hobby. The TV was right next to him because we lifted it all the way upstairs, including the entire living and dining room, so they wouldn't get wet. They filled the hallway to the point that there was little space to walk on.
"Yeah, we did a great job. When do you think the flood will subside? It hasn't changed since this morning." I asked, while I looked through the window. I had finished the book I was reading and was ready to start reading another one, so I carefully moved through the narrow spaces left for me to walk towards my room.
"Don't expect it to subside today. It will take days for that much water to go down."
"I think this is the worst typhoon we've ever experienced." I opened the door to my room.
"I've experienced worst back in the day, son." He responded while still playing his Tetris.
"Wow, it's a Jurassic Park in here!" My room looked worse than I had seen it an hour ago. My clothes were everywhere as both Hailey and Robin kept on trying them on. They could barely walk properly with my shirt on. Marie, on the other hand, was on my bed, doodling something on my Reflective Writing book, one of my creative writing subjects. "Oh my God, Marie, please hand it over." I slowly approached her, scared that she might doodle more if I talk to her in a demanding voice. "That's for school…oh my God, why are you drawing on my book of all things?" I whispered this to myself while getting some bond papers from one of the drawers under my study table. I realized that Marie ran out of art materials to use, and that was the one important thing I forgot to secure before the typhoon. I was supposed to get some new supplies for her like sketchpad, watercolors, and a box of pencils. She tends to draw anywhere when she has no sketchpad. "Here, draw in here instead." I handed her the bond papers in exchange of my book. When I opened it, oh my God, it was full of drawings! I almost fainted.
I opened my backpack which was hanging on my study table's matching chair, to get the next book I wanted to read. Except, it was missing. I swear, I thought I put that inside my backpack after papa and I packed all the store's books in several boxes. Or did I? I couldn't remember, so I called out, "Pa, have you seen my Inferno book?" I quickly scanned the entire room as well as my study table for it and after confirming that the book was nowhere to be found, papa hadn't responded, so I stood nervously by the door. "Pa?"
"Ha?? What was that again?" He asked, still playing Tetris.
"My Inferno book is not here and that's my newest book. I thought I put it in my backpack."
"I don't remember." He was busy playing his game, but he kind of looked suspicious. I think he accidentally put my Inferno book on one of the boxes.
"That was in the newest arrivals before we packed all the books to be transferred to my school library. It came with the other Amazon bestsellers." My heart was starting to palpitate. I was so excited to read that book, and now, it's nowhere to be found. I thought I was going to faint.
"How can I remember that? We packed like 4 or 5 boxes of new arrivals."
"Okay, well, I'm swimming in that flood to get my own copy of Inferno from the school library."
"That's ridiculous, you don't have to swim. There's a community boat lurking around for passengers."
"Okay, I'm going to school!" I said aloud as I ran downstairs and outside. I was wearing beige cargo shorts, slippers, and a plain white shirt. My legs and feet got wet with flood when I got downstairs, but I didn't care. Luckily, I didn't' have to wait long for that community boat that papa was talking about because it came by quickly. "Kuya, I need a ride to the school please!"
When I arrived at the college building, I ran three flights of stairs towards the library as if my life depended on it. I didn't even think about the possibility that it could be close. I hadn't notified the department head that I was coming but luckily, the entrance door was open. Thank God!
I urgently went inside and headed to the very far end where we stacked the boxes of books. I was sweating so much, almost as if rain had poured down on me when it was actually a sunny afternoon. I sat on the floor to rest a bit, then after a few minutes, I started searching for boxes labeled 'new arrivals.' There were 5 boxes. I opened them up one by one and finally found all the Dan Brown books on the fifth box. It had Angels & Demons, The Da Vinci Code, The Lost Symbol, and finally, Inferno! They were all in hardback and paperback. I grabbed one Inferno paperback, removed the plastic as if I was opening a bar of chocolate, smelled in between pages of the book, then held it to my heart with a smile. I was too exhausted that I passed out, or rather, fell asleep, with the wall supporting my back. I couldn't remember how long I had been there, until an unfamiliar voice woke me up.
"Young man, are you okay?" When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was cleavage. RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. My eyes grew wide open upon recognizing the pair of big breasts that had completely woken me up. When I looked into the owner, I saw a beautiful pair of eyes. "You're awake. Are you okay? What are you doing here at this hour?"

Unbeknownst to humans, there are two worlds: The Real World, and the Underworld called the Purple Sea. Uriel, a self-proclaimed book addict was just reading by the fountain, unaware of how late it was. It was April 27. At exactly 11:27pm, a full moon occurred and the water at the fountain turned purple, a sign that the portal to the Purple Sea has been opened. It swallowed him down, way down into the Underworld. When he came back to the Real World, he was different. He had Aquakinesis, the power to manipulate water. But not only that, he also became King of the Purple Sea.

"Xerxes!? Wake up! Are you alright?" Lynda's voice echoed inside his head

Xerxes opened his eyes and he saw Lynda infront of him, Looking at him with worried eyes. "Wh-What happened?" 

"Wane said he heard you shout 'Stop' and 'Mother' Was it a bad dream? No need to be afraid son, I'm here"

'No need to be afraid son, I'm here' Xerxes widened his eyes in shock! 'Those words... Th-That sentence.. That what my mother told me in my dream!' He said to himself.

"Are you okay now? By the way, I'll be going to a friends house, Can you clean the house for me? I don't really have time to fix my house, There are things at the living room, Just throw them away ok?-"

"-I'll be going, Good bye!" Lynda went towards the door and opened it.. She smiled at Xerxes before stepping out of the room.

Xerxes heard the door close, He sighed. After having a bath, Xerxes went straight towards the dining room. He ate the food that Lynda left for him then he went to the living room.

He saw Wane and Nao arranging some stuff. There are boxes everywhere.. It's filled with many unusual things so why would Lynda want them to just throw those?

Nao suddenly raised a red robe from the box infront of her, "These are good in quality! Hey, Wane! Check out this red robe! The cloth is sturdy, It has magic barrier too! Do you think this is Aunt Lynda's?" 

Wane stopped arranging, He glanced at the robe and spoke, "Yeah.. That's good. If mother has something like that, Why would she want to throw them? If you want it maybe you can have it, It'll be a waste if you don't"

"Yeah! You're right, Wait, Oh.. Xerxes I didn't see you there! Did you eat already? There is food over there.. If you ate it already then can you help us? Do you see those boxes stacked up? at the corner? Can you bring them here?"

Xerxes turned around, He saw a pile of boxes stacked up together at the corner of the room. 

While Xerxes is walking towards the boxes to bring them to where the other two are, Wane and Nao starter talking, "Hey Wane! Do you think it's okay to get some things here that we can use? Aunt Lynda wants us to throw them away but we can use some of these!"

When Xerxes was about to pick two boxes up, The tower of boxes at the very corner suddenly collapsed revealing a ton of books as well as men's clothes.

It caught Wane and Nao's attention. At first Xerxes didn't mind it but then, He found a weird book. It's very different! The others are just ordinary books with a bunch of stories but the weird book is written in another language.

Wane noticed the weird language written on the book cover, "Xerxes! Look at that book! What language is that?" 

Xerxes grabbed the book, "This?.. I have no idea" 

He frowned.. He remember seeing the words on it in the land of the undead. Could it be? That this language is the undead language? He also remember hearing the skeletons say something but he couldn't understand them. He thought that their just murmuring some words.

Wane's eyes fell on the box filled with clothes "Hhm? Are those men's clothes? Maybe it belongs to mother's husband. I remember seeing a picture frame in my room-"

"-I didn't see the man's face clearly because I haven't recieve these glasses yet. I also remember reading a piece of paper at the back of the frame.. What does it say again?-"

"-I only remember the last part.. Um.. I think it says 'I'll make sure to make myself suffer for doing this to you my love' Yeah! Right... That's what it said, But what does that mean?-"

"-Mother is hiding something from us don't you think?"

Xerxes stared at the book.. He heard everything Wane said clearly. Wane is probably doubting Lynda.. And for Xerxes, doubting that old lady is a good choice. Lynda told them many things about herself but.. Not all.

Xerxes suddenly remembered what happened last night. Magic separated the prince and Nao.. But no one in that house was heard casting something,Lynda just appeared and the prince and Nao are separated.

Was it Lynda who did that? 

Xerxes frowned again. He immdiately went to Wane's room, Followed by Wane and Nao but.. sadly, They didn't see any pictire frame. Lynda must have taken it away. 

"Wane, Where did you last see the pictire frame?" 

"Ugh.. It was over there! It was on top of that!" He said while pointing at the drawer near the closet.

Xerxes bent down, He pulled the drawers but he didn't get anything, There are only old clothes in the drawers. Then he suddenly noticed a paper folded into a very small piece under one of the clothes.

He picked it up, "Please forgive me, you're the dearest.. the most wonderful human being I ever loved. I shall love you till the end and I know that you won't and will never forgive me for what I did but I'll make sure to make myself suffer for doing this to you my love
                                                                 
                                                              -Your love"

Wane's eyes narrowed, "Yeah, That's the letter I found! But where is the picture frame? Do you think...?" 

"Yes, Mother probably threw it away.."

Nao went closer to Xerxes and peeked in through the piece of paper, "But what does that mean?" 

Xerxes knitted his brows, Trying to think what the letter means. He stared at it with blank eyes as if trying to see through the non-transparent paper like the meaning is being blocked by a strong material that can't be broken.

Wane pressed his lips tightly before speaking, "Let's just continue what mother told us to do, We'll come back when we find any clues.. Wait where is the book? The book we found earlier?" 

Xerxes's eyes narrowed a bit, He snapped out of his imagination and returned back to reality, "Uh.. I left it on the table. Can you guys leave me alone for a while?"

The two looked at each with confusion in their eyes before stepping out of the room.  

-Knock, Knock-

After hearing someone knocking on the door, They immediately rushed towards it. 

Wane opened the door to see someone with a warm smile waiting outside, He has dark brown eyes with blonde hair and his tall figure is outstanding. He's wearing a white suit with a red tie which makes them wonder who this man is and what is his intention.

They became speechless the moment he introduced himself,

"Let me introduce my self first, My name is Jerry, I am the first son of the king and I am here to express my gratitude to two men named Xerxes and Wane for saving my little brother from unknown bandits that appeared when my brother was on his way towards the castle-"

"-I am also here to give you some rewards for saving my little sister who got stolen by a maid in our castle. I won't be here for too long so no need to ask me to come inside. I just want to inform you that the king really appreciated it, And-"

"-The king told me to tell you that feel free to ask him to provide you anything you wish as long it's not beyond his power. Huh?.." The first son of the king, Also known as the crown prince stopped for a moment when he saw Nao

He gave her a warm smile before talking again, "Perhaps you're Nao? My younger brother is correct, You really are a beauty sadly, My father already arranged a marriage for me. So-"

"-Just like what I said earlier, Feel free to ask the king anything and he will grant your wish as long as it's not beyond his capabilities. We will bring food, As well as a bag of gold coins here later as your reward.-"

"-This is all I have to tell you, Farewell." 

Wane and Nao stood still and they remained speechless. The air around them is heavy. They watched the crown prince bow to them and then walk away. Looks like they can't decline.

Xerxes was standing at their back the whole time and he heard their conversation clearly. 'To think that the castle is very cheap. There's not a single person out here who'll accept food and a small amount of money as a reward for saving someone whose status is that high.'

'The king? Giving the savior of his only daughter a bag full of gold coins? That's not enough. Now days, Money isn't enough. That prince said that the king will give us anything as long as it's not beyond his power-'

'-If I ask him for Authority, Will he give it to me? No right? That king should be careful with his words. If I really want authority and if he can't give it to me, I can just threaten him by telling the people that the king is going back to his word-"

'-For some people, Going back on their words is just simple but he is a king. Huh.. Before that happens he can just get rid of me, Is that what he's thinking? Come to think of it, Even though there's no food in the land of the undead, Even there's famine at every corner of the land of the undead-'

'-The population there never changes even if they die.. Huh.. I wonder why. There's no way these humans are actually going to the land of the undead to have fun? They are aware that they can't go back once they enter.. Something smells fishy'

Xerxes's eyes narrowed.. He suddenly remembered the book he found with an unknown language. If that's the language of the undead, Then could the queen of crystal cluster ants read it for him?

The queen informed him that her homeland is the paradise land which is the land of the undead now.. But leaving now won't be good. What id the crown prince comes back and harms Wane and Nao?

"People these days doesn't know what gratitude is, That prince is strong.. There's no doubt, The aura around him is stronger than Wane, It's the strongest that I've seen in this place so far"

"-Can't tell if he can be trusted." Xerxes murmured

Xerxes watched the two close the door and continue arranging some stuff in the boxes like nothing happened. Xerxes went back to Wane's room to search for more clues. 

He again, Searched for clues in the drawer where he found the letter. There's nothing in there.. He can't just return the paper back in there, What if the paper won't be there anymore when they come back to look for it? And if he don't return that paper then Lynda might suspect something..

He grabbed a piece of paper, then a pen, He copied the words written on the original paper. After that, He returned the original paper and he kept the other paper.

He went back to the living room. He saw Wane and Nao moving the boxes infront of the door "Where is the book? Can I have it? Mother won't notice it.."

"Huh? There! Inside the box with other books, I placed it there just in case you don't want to keep it so I can just grab the box without having trouble bringing it back in there. Make sure she won't notice it" Wane responded

Xerxes grabbed the book from the box. He went to his room and placed it somewhere Lynda cannot find. He found it weird, Why would Lynda throw some stuff like that? And how come she has a book with the undead language? Xerxes might need that book so he decided to keet it.

-End of the chapter-

I woke up shaking in excitement. I almost instantly through my blankets to the side of me. My room was already a mess so I don't know the point of worrying about it. I swung my legs to the side and sat up. Slipped on my slippers and ran out the door. I scanned under the Christmas Tree for a pile of presents...but there was only 1. Mom was sitting on her chair sleeping. I started to get angry, but I remembered my lessons on how to overcome the anger. I breathed in and counted to ten. I then walked over to my mom and tapped her on the shoulder. She opened her eyes. "Good morning" She said smiling. Her brown eyes the darted twords the presents. "Wait, where'd all the presents go!?" She got out of her chair and got under the tree looking for the presents. As she was looking I walked to the kitchen. The entrance was crowded with boxes. I had to step over them in order to get to the kitchen. There were 2 boxes of cereal and one bowl on the wooden table. I was way to tired of eating cereal for breakfast but it's was the only thing that was cheap and efficient. I turned around and steped over the boxes to exit the kitchen. Mom was done looking for the presents meanwhile. She was breathing rapidly. "I can't find em" She said. Looks like you only have one present. I walked over to mom. She handed me the present and I started opening it. In about three seconds the wrap was gone...it's was a book. "What...the...hell is this?!" I yelled. "Calm down girl" my mom yelled back. "No, you gotta be kidding me, I know I'm 18 and I should like stuff like this, but seriously?" "Someone stole all our presents and left a frickin BOOK!?" "It better be good, or I'm gonna punch a whole as big as this book!" The book was about 500 pages or more long. I opened the book. "If your are reading this then read carefully. You will be transferred to a different world withe these abilitys. Devine beauty, infinite magic power, and a weapon that it's the most powerful in the this world. Turn to the next page to begin." I read out loud. "What the hell, ugh like that's gonna happen". I turned to the next page to see all the pages glowing.

Lucy's POV:
Last night was so awesome. I'm so exhausted that I feel numb. I wake up only to see my sexy mate sleeping next to me. His arms are wrapped around my waist keeping me comfy which is weird because under the covers we are naked. Let's just say I love Seth and I can't get enough of him. But what I'm mostly worried about is his mother Mrs. Harvey because she scares the shot out of me. Rule number three, no forbidden love. The problem is me and Seth because he is a vamp prince and I am a human.
I think me and Ashley are human unless our parents died carrying that secret to their graves. All I know is that we are not vamps because we don't drink blood. When they died I cleaned out their rooms only to find werewolf books on the bookshelves. It even had journals to when our parents met and the battles along the way that they fought.
As I'm trying to remember who I and Ashley are I hopped out of bed. I got dressed and went to go get the boxes full of our parent's memories and secrets that lie ahead.
Before I opened the boxes to start reading about my parent's past I told myself "no wonder why Mrs. Harvey put rule number 3 out." She doesn't like the supernatural to mix species.
I pulled all the books out of the boxes and onto the floor in the room called "Feel free to organize and study here." As I took the books out I made a list to help me keep track of things.
{A\N I made up these book names or used common sense to make the book sound useful}
My list has journal names and book names.
Book names: •Signs you're a werewolf
            •Instincts of the wolf
            •Mates to another supernatural
Parent journals names: • Werewolf childhood
                       •Adventures as a wolf
                     •To the kids from mom and dad
I first pick the book "Signs You're a werewolf." As I read the book I noticed a chapter called the inner beast. It explains how you know the wolf is there. Also, every werewolf has a wolf and their own personality. The wolves take over your body like a wolf but you are still in control of your head. So it's basically saying werewolves are 2 in 1 and that the wolf has it's own unique name.
You know when you're a wolf because your sense gets sharper. The most common way is a mid-turn which means half shifting, or a human/wolf.
As I read the book I know it is my hair I'm on top of my head is shifting to little pointy ears and my butt is starting to have a tail. That was the moment I realized I'm a werewolf but stuck in mid-turn. If I'm a wolf so is Ashley. I have to go tell her. I started dashing down the hallways going into Ashley's room telling her to big news that I just discovered.
When I told she was so surprised. I also told her you to have to be 17 years old to turn into a wolf.
"Bye Ashley. I have to do go discover myself. Well, mostly my wolf and her name. Later love you."
" Bye Lucy. I hope you have fun discovering yourself and you're both we have to let me know her name. And I love you, bye." Ashley told me with a new kind of happy expression.

Seth is a vampire from nobility birth, who is rich and handsome.
After unfortunate circumstances, Lucy decides to get a new job with high pay with a roof over her head for Ashley.
Lucy would go willing as long as Ashley gets to come too. 
Ashley would bite, fight and kicked anyone who would go near Lucy. 
And so the journey begins...
Vampires have 4 rules:
1.) Drink blood from your personal maid
2.)Keep your secrets to yourself
3.) No Forbidden Love
4.) TRUST NO ONE!

  I begin to wave my hand over each box as it slowly begins to fill my blue mana core ring. After ten minutes, I have 10,000 swords worth of boxes in my ring. I walk out as I recall all of the soldiers, leaving a few on the walls to keep watch. A few minutes later, I have everyone standing before me, about 9,500 soldiers. They stand in a line as they silently wait for an order, the smoke wisps floating away from them.
  I wave my hand once more as the large amount of boxes appear in around me. I clear my throat as I yell, "Open the boxes and take one sword each."
  Without hesitation, the shadow soldiers begin to open the boxes and take a sword, attaching it to a belt I added with it. People curiously gather, having never seen such a large gathering of soldiers in Hana before.
  Some of the kids gasp and even some older adults, the sight of the swords catching their attention. I smile at their awe and a few moments later, someone speaks up.
   "Where did you get the materials for these? Was it from those noble carts that came by yesterday?"
  I shake my head, "Where I get the materials is my secret, but to answer your question, no. They were here for another matter which I will announce later."
  After about 5-8 minutes, all the soldiers have one sword. I dismiss them back to their duties as I call the other 500 to grab theirs. After a few minutes, all the soldiers have swords and are back at their posts. As I am cleaning up the boxes, I find out that I made a miscalculation. Inside one of the boxes lay a few swords. I quickly count them and see 63 of them, meaning I am a little short of 10,000 soldiers.
  I count over the swords one more time before thinking over what to do with them. I eventually just shrug and put them back into the warehouse, most likely to just collect dust. I walk into the living room to see Dreag reading a book, his large 7ft figure hulking in size. 
  These past few days, he has been sleeping on the couch since I don't have a guest room. I look him up and down as I tell him, "We will be leaving in a few days, I allied with the Fang kingdom and they will hopefully be sending over someone to watch the construction of the kingdom."
  He nods as he closes the book, his finger keeping the page he was on. "Alright. I hope you don't mind but I have a request."
  I nod, listening intently. Dreag doesn't make requests often so this is unexpected, so I make sure to not miss a detail.
   "I want you to create me armor. Something adaptable and swift, but sturdy enough to take a few hits." As he speaks, a smile slowly forms on my face as I have an idea of what to make him.
  I wave for him to follow, causing him to stand up from his seat and pull out a bookmark from who knows where. He places it into the book and waves his hand, sending the book into his storage ring, which rests calmly on his finger, a purple gem resting inside.
   "So what type of design do you want on it? Do you want any? Anything specific you want?" I ask as I wake up the purple slime, which was resting soundlessly on my head.
  He thinks for a moment before shaking his head, "I can't think of anything else. My only requirement being able to use my claw like weapons created by those sticks."
  I think for a moment as an image appears in my head, "I know exactly what I am going to make, but I am going to need your body measurements so I will get them when we get to my workstation."
  He nods, "Alright, so what are you gonna design it to look like?"
  A fun grin appears on my face, "Let's just say it will have my touch to it and it is definitely going to be fun."
  Dreag's serious expression stays in wavered as he nods, "Alright. I have faith in you."
  I arrive at my large bench as I wave my hand, a tape measurer appearing in my palm. I unreel it as I motion for Dreag to raise his arms, which he promptly does. I swiftly take the measurements in a few seconds as I turn around, quickly inputing the numbers as a 3D diagram of a Dreag's body appears above the workbench.
   It is about a foot tall as I begin to design the parts and trouble shooting. I suddenly feel a tickling on my neck as I scratch it, glancing at Dreag who is looking intently at the model. I wave him off as I explain, "This is going to take a good while, you should go back to relaxing till then."
  He nods as he walks back to the living room, already reading a book in his left hand. The second he leaves, I immediately begin to work, designing all types of parts and screws.
  The purple slime on my head gazes curiously at what I am doing, excited he gets to build stuff again. As I am creating the parts based on the simulations I have made, I am inwardly running over my facts.
   'Exo suits had been used in combat shortly after my betrayal and they were experimental but still functioned extremely well. I plan on using that for my base design and editing it to fit Dreag's requirements.' I nod at my facts as I finish getting the parts for the frame's lower half created. I place the purple gelatin on them as he sucks them up, immediately getting to work. 
  As Slime Winter does that, I begin to create microchips and wires, grabbing my sauter and running through a plethora of trial simulation designs before I begin.
  I swiftly sauter each part and life, creating a masterpiece of gray, black, and purple.
   'I can create a plethora of different colors...but I am stuck repeating them.' I look around my workshop as I realize that there is a repeating theme of purple, gray, black, white, and mixes in between.
   '...I need paint.'

After an unknown amount of time, a soul got to reincarnate into a fantasy realm with it’s own choice of abilities and looks. Watch as he goes through life as powerful as can be in this weird world.
