LUO YAN was sitting inside the library.  It was a huge library with dozens of shelves full of books.  One even needed to climb a ladder in order to get some of the books.  The books were separated between educational and literature.  The educational books were further separated from different arts and sciences.  While the literature were differentiated by genres.  
 When Luo Yan first entered this place, he was truly shocked and amazed.  He didn't think that a house could have a library this big.  According to his older brother, their father loved reading that's why their mother didn't hesitate to include a library this big when she was designing the house.  That only further proved just how much their parents loved each other.  
 After the family's conversation during breakfast, Luo Jin immediately announced that he would start teaching him today.  Now, Luo Yan was waiting for him in the library.  He wondered first why they couldn't just study in Luo Jin's room, and then he remembered that his brother's room was in the second floor.  Luo Jin was probably worried that he'd be tired if they studied there.  After all, the house's stairs was quite high and long.  With his current condition, he might stumble and fall if he wasn't careful enough.
 When Luo Yan realized that, he only smiled.  This younger brother of his was really just a big ball of fluff inside.   
 After a while, the door of the library opened and Luo Jin entered.  He was holding a stack of papers.  He walked towards Luo Yan and sat beside his chair.  He put the papers on the table in front of them, chose one and put it in front of Luo Yan.  He also opened a pencil case with a mechanical pen and eraser inside.
 "First, I want you to answer the questions in this paper.  It's okay if you don't know the answer.  Just leave it as blank and just answer what you can.  I will check your answers after," Luo Jin unceremoniously said.
 He wanted to know first the current level of understanding his second brother had.  If it stayed in the fourth grade level or if it regressed.  After finding the result, then he would coordinate with the tutors that his father hired.  He didn't want his brother to be called stupid by others.  He could but others couldn't.  He wanted his second brother to be the best in the eyes of others.  No one was allowed to insult him.
 "Okay, Ah Jin," Luo Yan said.
 He looked down at the paper in front of him and his face immediately turned black when he saw the questions on it.  It was a Math paper.  A first grade Math paper!  10+1... 8+5... 7+9...  The more he saw, the blacker his face became.  He literally could feel his brain hurting.  It's like this paper was physically attacking his IQ.
 He glanced sideways at Luo Jin.  He was looking at him, his eyes full of silent encouragement.  Luo Yan forced himself to calm down.  His brother was not deliberate.  Most probably, Luo Jin just wanted to test his level of understanding.  But still.
 In the end, he only sighed and answered all the question on the paper.
 "I'm done, Ah Jin," he said and pushed the paper to Luo Jin.
 Luo Jin took it and checked the answer.  He nodded in satisfaction when he saw that his second brother answered it all correctly.  "Very good.  This one's next."
 The next one was actually a second grade Math test paper!  Luo Yan still endured and tried his best not to gnash his teeth.  But when the next paper came and it was still a third grade Math test paper, he couldn't do it anymore.  Because at that point, not only was his brain hurting, even his stomach and liver were complaining to him.
 He breathed deeply before turning to Luo Jin, his face already the mask of innocence.  "Ah Jin, these questions are too easy.  Are there anything more difficult?  Can I pick the next test?"
 Before Luo Jin could answer, Luo Yan already picked the stack of papers in front of his brother.  He quickly looked through it and his face blackened again when he discovered that the highest level of questions in every subjects was in sixth grade.  He sighed and just picked a sixth grade Math test paper.  He answered it easily then gave it back to Luo Jin.
 Luo Jin was a little bit doubtful when he saw his brother picking a sixth grade Math test paper.  But when he checked the paper and found that his brother managed to answer everything correctly, he was amazed.  He suddenly remembered that before the accident, his brother had always been the top of his class.  Just like their older brother.  That's why Luo Jin also started to study hard.  Because he wanted to be like his brothers.
 Luo Jin was happy to know that not only his brother's intelligence did not regress, he was still as smart as before.  With the best tutors, his brother would definitely be able to catch up to high school level in no time.  Maybe he could even go to the same high school as him this coming new shool year.
 "Well, this is good.  At least with this, I could confidently tell Dad and Older Brother that you didn't turn stupid."
 Luo Yan almost resisted the urge to smack this brother.  He swore, when those tutors came, he would show them how smart he was.  At first, he wanted to act low-key and just showed gradual progress.  There's no need for him to work hard after all.  Even if he chose to be a salted fish all his life, this family would certainly support him.  But with this experience, he found out that he couldn't take being treated like his IQ was on the same level as that of a child.  Then it's better to be treated like a genius.
 He wouldn't allow his IQ to be attacked again.  Because seriously, it might really caused long-term damage to his brain.

As soon as Luo Yan graduated, he immediately got an offer from a prestigious gaming company. He thought all his hard work finally paid off. And he would finally reach the pinnacle of life. But then, on his first day of work, a potted plant fell on his head and he died. 

Surprisingly, when he thought he would cross the Yellow River, he suddenly woke up and found himself in the body of a 17 year old boy. This body had the same name as him but completely different background. Because the original was the second young master of the Luo family - one of the most powerful family in S City. 

Luo Yan almost cried. God probably took pity on him and decided to give him a loving family with a wealthy background. He didn't have to work hard anymore. Studying like his life depended on it and pretending to be a holy father just to cater to people. 

So Luo Yan decided to be a salted fish and just shamelessly sell meng. 


A certain male god who always bought Luo Yan's meng: Yan Yan is so cute! Why is Yan Yan so cute??

"Momo... hurry up!!.... we're going to be late!!" Yelled Linda, as she rushed towards the newly constructed building within the school premises.
Little Momo and her, were on their way towards the chemistry laboratory.
Today, they were taking Chemistry 3.
Ever since the beginning of April, they had been taking 6 main courses:
•Biology 1 (Classes of living organisms)
•Math 4 (simple variable math, like find X)
•Chemistry 2
•Chemistry 3 (introduction to lab science)
•Physics 1
•Phyno 4
Apart from these ones, they also had other fun and creative courses that occurred once a week... like:
•Arts & Craft 1
•Ethics & Morality 1 
•Health & Hygiene 1
•Literature 1
•Music 1
• And Physical Education 
Another surprising thing for the students was that this year, the school had created a Student Council body based on the votes from the students.
Also, each class had a class monitor and deputy class monitor that's entrusted in assisting the teachers in class, aiding the weak students, roll call... and so on.
No matter what amongst the 2 leaders, one had to be female and the other male.
Generally, once the winners for both the Male Group and female group emerged.... the students would then vote between the 2, and choose who should be the class monitor or deputy class monitor.
For the biology class, the students were taught the basics like: cells, microbes, plant systems, animal systems, invertebrates and vertebrates.
In short, they were taught about all the classes of living organisms.
Of course for Math 4, they focused on simple variable math... like 5x=10, find X.
In that class, they focused on understanding one to two variable equations..... which were usually linear equations.
For chemistry 2, the students would still focused on reactions, atoms and so on.... but now with the use of calculators, they had begun learning about calculating molecular weight and so on.
Of course just so that the students could breathe a little, music, literature, physical education and arts & craft were essentially a must.
In short, this semester was a busy one.
Today, Linda and little Momo were heading towards the Chemistry Lab in the new school building.
Once they got in, they immediately climbed the stairs until they arrived at the 3rd floor... where they were greeted with a large group of students outside the lab.
The area was bustling with busy students.
Friends greeted each other with hugs or playful punches, while others had their eyes glued on their books as they continued doing assignments that were due in the next class.
Some already had their lab coats and safety wears on, while others were busy wearing theirs on now.
In fact, everyone was doing their own thing as they waited for the class to begin.
Instantly, the duo opened their bags and quickly pulled out their neatly folded lab coats and safety items.
For this class, everyone was required to wear their lab coats, gloves, rubber boots, and goggles.
Linda looked at her watch and knew that it would soon be time for them to go in.
And right on queue, Mother Kim and teacher Gophen opened the lab doors from instead and ushered the students in.
"Morning Teacher Kim!"
"Morning teacher Gophen!"
"Morning teacher...."
"__"
Everyone greeted their teachers, as they walked in and immediately found their usual spot.
The Laboratory was massive, with several working slabs, cupboards with equipments stored in them, and a small storage room at its front.
Linda and Momo immediately spotted their other group members, and rushed over to join them.
Ever since the beginning of the semester, they had been put in groups of 5.
Apparently, these people would be their lab partners throughout the entire semester.
"Alright.... before we begin, you all know the drill.
In front of each group, are 5 question sheets.
You all have 7 minutes to answer them.
Remember, no cheating and no copying.... these small tests make up 20% of your final grade.
Now.... Begin!!"
Linda immediately flipped her question sheet and got to work.
For this Chemistry 3 course, they had 1 theory class on Tuesdays, and 1 lab session on Thursdays.
And at the beginning of each lab session, they would have mini quizzes that would test them on what they had learnt in their Tuesday classes.
Chemistry 3 was a course based on Laboratory work, so they had to know about the equipments in front of them, safety lab hazards and so on.
In fact... Ever since the students knew that these questions were 20%, they had taken them seriously
Linda filled her name and school number on the question sheet, before proceeding to answer the questions.
The questions were straight to the point, and easy to answer if one was paying attention during lectures.
And just like that, time flew by quickly... 7 minutes later, the quizzes collected back by teacher Gophen.
And the papers were collected, Mother Kim began distributing the Lab manual sheets for today's experiment.
.
"Alright.... before we begin our Laboratory experiment, let's recap on what Teacher Winnie has been you all in Chemistry 2." Mother Kim said.
The students immediately took out their books and writing materials.... While others flipped the pages of their books to the last pen-filled page.
It was important for the students to know about what reactions they were going to perform today, hence it was good for them to recap on what they were previously taught.
"So as usual, let's look back on what you all have been learning so far.
I need a few examples of chemistry around us... anyone?" Mother Kim asked, as she waited for the students to raise their hands.
"Yes Filipa?" She said, while pointing at a little girl at the front of the room.
"Air is essentially chemistry, because it's constantly undergoing a chemical change.
For example, we breathe out carbon dioxide and take in oxygen... so air is always changing.
Also... air undergoes changes whenever smoke is released in to the atmosphere by burning, hence it's part of Chemistry."
"Correct!!.
Any other examples of Chemistry around us?" Kim asked.
"Our bodies."
"The ocean"
"When we make bread."

Chapter 18
 
Hyoyoung's heart fell when Mikyung mentioned The M. Recently, whenever she heard the group's name, her heart started to beat nervously.
"Huh? Why? What happened?"
"Hyoyoung… I noticed that you haven't been paying much attention to our group. You must be really busy lately. They announced the date of their comeback, it's going to be three months from now! It will be right after our SAT, which is perfect. I am so glad! We will be able to enjoy the group and the music without worrying about the SAT!"
"Oh, really? I see. So their comeback date has been decided."
"Yup. And starting tomorrow, the agency will release behind the scenes footage of the group working on their album. Soon, they will also do a live show of them practicing their new songs. The M promised that they will continue to communicate with the fans. Oh, and their main comeback song will be decided by the fans! We'll get to vote. How nice of them! I am so happy that we'll get to see our oppas more."
"Oh, my… this is gonna be very bad for me."
"Hmm? Why would this be bad for you? Oh, is it because you won't be able to focus on your studies? Hey, don't worry. You won't have to waste time following the group around because the paparazzi will do it for us and provide all the information and photos."
"Paparazzi…?"
"Of course. And they are especially excited about trying to find out who this girl is that Purple M loves."
"Oh… right."
"I'm sure that girl will be found very soon at this rate."
"Oh… I… see… Right…"
"Hey, why are you looking all worried? All we have to do is wait for all the information to be released. The media will do all the work."
"…"
Mikyung was making Hyoyoung more and more nervous.
Hyoyoung felt a chill just thinking about Mikyung and her friends finding out the truth. The fact that she was the recipient of Purple M's love… It would be a disaster.
The best thing would have been for her to not get involved at all, but now, she had to work as the group's temporary stylist and manager. Hyoyoung's head started to pound.
Mikyung clearly wanted to chat more, but Hyoyoung made up an excuse. After hanging up, she sat on her desk and opened her textbook. She thought that if she focused on something like studying, perhaps she could forget about what was happening in her life.
But her mind remained restless and she couldn't concentrate on her books at all.
"DARNNNNNITTTTTTT!"
She screamed in frustration and suddenly, Jiwoo burst into her room.
"What happened!"
"Pardon? What?"
Hyoyoung turned around in surprise and Jiwoo explained, "You screamed, so I was worried. What's wrong, Hyoyoung?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I was just studying, and I was having some difficulty understanding something. It's too hard."
"Oh. Don't get too stressed! Screaming doesn't solve anything. What you need is some help learning. Come out here! Come on!"
"What? Oh, I'm fine. I can do it by myself…"
"No way! You helped us, so it's time for us to help you. Come on!"
Hyoyoung had no choice but to grab her books and walk out to the living room where the members were working on their own things.
Jiwoo announced loudly, "Hey everybody! Listen carefully!"
He pulled Hyoyoung closer to him and continued, "Our Hyoyoung is in grade 12 and she has lost a lot of her study time because of us. If she doesn't get good grades and fails to get into a good university, it will be our fault! So we need to help her study! Hyoyoung, I can help you with English. How about you guys?"
Kiwook raised his hand quietly.
"I can help with literature."
Hyojun quickly followed.
"I can help with math."
Hyunsuk shrugged his shoulders and answered, "Well, I guess that leaves science and history… sure, I can help you with those."
It happened so suddenly and quickly that Hyoyoung started to look panicked. She tried to refuse their help.
"No, thank you. I'm fine on my own. I prefer to study by myself. Studying is best done alone. I will do it on my own. Please…"
Hyojun walked up to her and insisted, "Just shut up. Alone? You clearly need help, so come to my room right now. We should start with math. Solving equations will help you loosen up your brain. We'll begin with math for an hour."
"Umm, Oppa. I really don't feel like studying math today…"
"What you feel like doesn't matter. You study because you have to. Come in right now!"
Hyojun had no sympathy for her. He dragged her into his bedroom and the tutoring began. From time to time, his yelling could be heard from outside. He was a strict and scary teacher.
"Oh my… I hope he doesn't make Hyoyoung cry."
"I know. Maybe we should've started with literature first."
"No, it wouldn't have mattered. Hyojun would've insisted on starting with whatever subject he chose to tutor anyway."
Hyunsuk listened to Jiwoo and Kiwook's conversation and shook his head. He said to them bluntly, "How obvious of Hyojun to act like that. It's like he is marking his possession. So unnecessary and immature."
Kiwook flinched in surprise and turned to Hyunsuk, who shrugged his shoulders and continued, "Why are you surprised? Isn't it obvious? I can clearly see that Hyojun is determined. At this rate, you are going to lose, Kiwook. If you don't step up, you aren't going to win. And Hyoyoung doesn't seem like she will be easy to win over either."
Kiwook grinned and replied, "You always seem so quiet, but you still see and hear everything. I just don't get you, Hyunsuk Lee. You are a mystery."
"Haha, I'm no mystery. I am just like everyone, there's nothing special about me. I have to do something, so I will be in my room. I need some privacy, so leave me alone for a while, okay?"
Hyunsuk took his laptop and left, leaving just Kiwook and Jiwoo.
Jiwoo asked Kiwook, "Hey, I have a question for you."
"Don't ask me. I have enough questions I need answers to. I have no time to answer you."
"Come on! Answering other people's questions will help you answer your own."
"Grr… Alright, ask."
"Did you know who Hyojun was from the very beginning?"
"No."
"What? But Hyojun said that he recognized you immediately, right?"
"Yeah, but I didn't recognize him. I only found out later by coincidence when I saw him walking with Hyoyoung one day."
"So you had no idea until then?"
"Well, I had a vague suspicion, but I couldn't tell for sure. To be honest, Hyoyoung is a painful memory for me. It's hard to explain, but my memories of her used to be crystal clear and yet vague at the same time. Then, when I saw her again, things came back to me. Both my memories and my feelings for her."
"And all this time… your feelings haven't changed?"
"Actually, it has gotten worse."
"Why?"
"An emotion is supposed to change as it gets expressed and dealt with, but for me, I had no way of doing that. I kept it hidden inside me and it just kept growing and growing. Hyoyoung had no idea of my existence, and I couldn't give her or show her how I feel. So all the feelings I had remained with me and I felt like I was going to explode. It was overwhelming."
"Your feelings for Hyoyoung…"
"Yeah. At first, I thought it was just sympathy. Just love for my lost little sister. But I quickly realized that it wasn't that. I want her to always be by my side. I want to protect her and love her always. She is so very precious to me. Hyoyoung's existence means the world to me."

2nd year of High School, Yoona. Her mother had left the world early and left her and her father by themselves.

Necropolis of Heart 
Chapter 7

Author's PoV 

The next day in school 
Morning 6:30 a.m.
[(A/N): - It is the school which I go to. It's in my locality of Mira Road, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.]
As Anna entered the school, she looked up to see the large school logo board that read in big bold letters 'R. B. K. School', owned by the Kanakians. She had only one thought in her mind. How is Ma. 
[(A/N): - In India, we have many names for mother like Ma, Mummy, Mom, etc.]


As she entered, she looked at her watch. It read 6:30 a.m. There were 7 more hours she had to spend before she could pay a visit to her mother. Her first class was advanced Math. Believe me, math in 12th grade was a really difficult thing. But with her mind, even a primary student could do the most difficult question in the 12th  grade maths book. She was a genius. She was a multitalented being, lacking nothing but luck. Luck had decided to play a trick with her. 

Anna's PoV 

Oh! How I wish we had a free period. Our math teacher, Miss Susan, wiped out my mind, leaving a brain wash condition in our class. However, with my luck, that could not be possible. I decided to bunk the class, as it is I won't be able to pay any attention to whatever Miss Susan was going all about. As if paying attention would do me any good. That thought made me scoff. 

After a whole lot of long, uselessly spent 7 hours, the school finally ended. I decided to go home to freshen up a bit then meet Yuvi. After that I'd go to visit Ma. 

I quickly took a bus from the bus stop near my school and got to my destination. The bust stop near school is one minute on foot and to the one near my home, it was a five minutes walk. Once I reached home, I noticed that the house was a complete mess. Great. JUST GREAT. Now I have two things to clear. One, my room and another, my mind. There was too much on my mind so I decided to read until I sleep after coming back from the hospital. 

I look at the calendar hanging from my kitchen wall. It read 27th of June. It was just one day since Ma was in coma. I just wished that the three months passed by soon enough for me to not notice. But then again, with my luck, it was just something I could never ask for. 

I just realised that I did not have an extremely important thing with me. Money. Money has a way to take things unto itself. I thought remembering the line from our English Literature chapter 'Hearts and Hand' by O. Henry. He was one of my favourite writers. I had read his works in my school academic English Literature books. 

I did not earn money and did not have Ma's account information to take money from mom. There was only one thing I could do. Look for place that gave work to a 17 year old, unqualified girl. That was near to impossible since I was still hadn't graduated, but I guess my 10th Board certificate could probably do me some good. 

I looked at my wristwatch. It was 3:00 p.m. already. I decided to go to Yuvi's place. 

Since I was already late and missed my bus, I took a rickshaw to get to her house which was a good 4 miles away from mine. I only had 3000 rupees in hand. The rest was in my joint account with mom. Since I was still a minor, I couldn't access to the money in it, whatsoever the reason might be. That had really ticked me off. Now I had to spend my money extra cautiously so that I wouldn't run out of it before getting a part-time job. I could always ask Yuvi for some money but it never really felt right to do so. She was already going out of her way to help me with the conditions in hand. I could not rely on her anymore or I'll be vulnerable. Again. 

With time ticking by as I sat in the rickshaw, wind blew all over my face making me realise how tired I actually was. I wasn't able to get a wink of sleep last night with all the thoughts of Ma, money and as my past and it's thoughts haunted me. I did not want to go back to my old self again. But if I was forced to, if I didn't have any other choice but to go back to the past to save my mother, I won't hesitate to do so. Even if it meant making me feel like a body that doesn't have a soul. Or should I say... 
a heart. 
**********
So? What do you think? What is the past that Anna's had that she never wants to return to? Any guesses?
Shout-out to all those who read but don't vote nor comment. Please do alright. My whole life depends upon this. 
Wait. What? No, not life definitely but yeah, surely my happiness does. Please comment on how you like the story so far.

—————

For those who might be confused about the original one and the recreated one, please read this one as I am the author of the original book but some problems occurred and because of that, I will be uploading here on my new user. All new chapters will be uploaded on “Necropolis of Heart”. 

This is my first attempt at writing a book so hope you readers like it. Votes, reviews and comments will be much appreciated.

Zhang Lei was sitting on her bed hugging the stuffed animal that Li Jei gave her. Her eyes are all red from crying. She still can't believe everything that had happened today. She was overwhelmed with the truth at the same time she is thinking about Li Jei. They had the best time in the resort. She had the best time of her life there but it was replaced with sadness when she came home.
She recalled what her uncle said.
"You are the only heir and has the right to be my successor in our family's business. I know it's difficult for you to accept this for now. I need you to go back to our country and be trained. I will send you abroad to study as well. I will prepare you so that when the time comes you will be ready. Shen is not my real son. Although I love him as my own, I do not force him to be my successor. I am sorry my niece but you and I have no other choice. I talked to your father about this. Your parents will go back to our country together with you. They will start anew there. I have given my brother his rightful place in the company as well as your mother. We will leave by the end of next week. I will handle everything regarding your transfer. You will love your new school there." "But uncle, what about my friends, my life is here. I want to stay even just until I graduate." Zhang Lei protested. "Zhang Lei if you will not go, I will not be able keep my promise to your dad. It's either you will go with then or your family stay here. You know your financial status right now. I know your life is here and I hate to ruin that. But you have to think about your father, and your future."
Her uncle is right but it is hard for her to accept it. She refused to accept the fact that she will be away from Li Jei. They just started and this happens. The distance will really be a struggle. But she promised herself to help her parents to regain what they lost. Her uncle offered help to redeem them. She has to do it. Her problem now is how to tell her boyfriend all about it. Her tears fell again until she was exhausted and fell asleep with a heavy heart.

The next day Zhang Lei tried her hard to smile brightly to Li Jei who was waiting for her at the entrance in their school. He squeezed her hand as they where walking towa da their classroom. "Did you had a good sleep last night?" he asked. "Yes I did" she lied. Although Zhang Lei was all smiles, her forlorn did not escape from his eyes. He knew something was wrong. He wanted to ask about it but he decided to wait for her to tell him. What he can do for her right now is to be with her and try what he can to make her feel better. 

Xiu Yeng was in a bad mood when Zhang Lei sat beside her. "What's with you?" "Nothing something just irritates me." At that moment they saw Wung Jun talking to a pretty girl in the corridor that can be seen directly by them from  inside. The girl was trying to be cute while they were talking and she hit his shoulder flirtatiously. This make Xiu Yeng even more irritated. Zhang Lei chuckled but not too loud because she does not want to provoke her further. She looked at her boyfriend and they shared the same thoughts of what's going on with these two. Li Jei gave her a wink. The first bell rang to signal the start of their class. Everyone went to their seats. 

Lunchtime came and the four friends ate together. They were laughing at a joke Wung Jun shared. Xiu Yeng's mood also started to lighten a bit. But it  became grimier when the girl who flirted with Wung Jun  earlier came over to their table. "Hi Wung Jun." She greeted him sweetly. "Is this seat taken?". She sat next to him without even waiting for their reply. "I'm Leila by the way. Nice to meet you all." she said. Wung Jun's face was unreadable. He glanced at Xiu Yeng. Xiu Yeng remained calm. "I'll go ahead, I still have to go to the library to do some reading. Excuse me." Xiu Yeng left. Li Jei and Zhang Lei also excused themselves. Wung Jun was left with Leila. He wanted to go after Xiu Yeng but he can't. He knew she is mad at her. And he was angry at himself too because he kept on evading for his growing feelings for her. Wung Jung was silent. He stood up to leave but Leila stopped him. "Please don't embarrass me further. Stay until I can finish eating. There are a lot of eyes looking at us. I know they are talking about me right now. Just this once do this favor for me  and I will leave you alone."  Leila said sadly and in the verge of crying. Wung Jun sat back and said, "I'm sorry about all this. I apologize for leading you on. I am an idiot. Sorry if I hurt your feelings." "It's fine, I'm okey with it. I could never be your type. I know someone who is taking refuge at the library right now, deserve to know how you feel about her. I leave first. Thanks you". She left and gave him a smile. Wung Jun again is lost for words. 

At the library, Xiu Yeng was trying to concentrate on reading a book but to no avail. She was so mad at Wung Jun. She was surprised about why she felt like this about him. "No no no Xiu Yeng you have to stop this. Stop... erase erase it!" she was scolding herself. She walked to the aisle of books and scanning through some titles that could peak her interest. She scanned through aisle after aisle, but there was nothing she wants to pick out. She  continued walking absentmindedly towards the last aisle that has math books. "Do you love math now that you ditch us at lunch to have a date with math books?" Wung Jun was leaning on the last bookshelf with math books on it. He looked at her and she stared at him with a bit of a scowl. "I begin to like math. It gives me the exact answer and is always giving me the right values." she glared at him. They stared at each other for a long time no one wants to give in. The staring game continued until the bell rang signalling the start of the afternoon classes. Xiu Yeng walked faster than Wung Jun. She was far ahead of him hugging some books towards their classroom. Her best friend was already seated when she came in. She dumped her books on her desk forcefully that it surprised Zhang Lei. Her bestfriend was in a really bad mood. She decided  to keep quite and let her calm down before she tells her another bad news. After a while Wung Jun arrived in class and sat quietly beside Li Jei. 
Li Jei was worried about his bestfriend. "What's going on between Xiu Yeng and you?"  
"Nothing." Wung Jun replied nonchalantly. 
Their afternoon classes was so dragging. Their last class was Ancient Literature which make more boring  Everyone keep on looking at the clock. Anticipating for dismissal. On the other hand Zhang Lei does not want the day to end. She wanted to spend a bit more time in class sitting beside the persons that matters to her the most  her best friend and of course her boyfriend. Finally dissmisal bell rang, everyone cheered except for the four friends at the back who does not want to move. Li Jei urged Zhang Lei to get up and leave the two behind. Before they left the room Li Jie whispered to his best buddy, just tell her the truth."  
Zhang Lei was getting uneasy as time passed. They held hands when they were out from the campus and was walking on the pavement  towards Zhang Lei's house. They held their hands. She knows that she needs to tell him right now there was no more time. Li Jei was just patiently waiting and ready to listen whatever it is. He has to be there for her. 
"Li Jei can we buy some ice cream before we go home?" Li Jie nodded. They went to an ice cream parlor and ordered their favorite flavors. "Where do you want to go?" he asked. "Uhmmm lets stroll in the park and eat our ice cream." she smiled. They sat on the grass under a big tree away from the crowd. They were concentrating on eating their ice cream until Zhang Lei sighed. Her tears are starting to accumulate in her eyes and it will fall anytime soon. "Jei, I am leaving City D next week for good." teary eyed she looked at him sadly. Li Jei's mind went blank.


The Cocker Spaniel that Meng Li brought over was well trained, and didn't bark or wander around everywhere. It lay quietly on the floor, sniffed, blinked its big eyes, and stared at the kitchen of the small restaurant, where the aroma of cooked food was coming from. 
Zhang Zian took a few sips of his orange juice, then thought silently about the letters on the napkin.　　
Since they were talking about science fiction, he remembered a fiction story he'd read in the past. He asked, "Professor Meng, I'm wondering if you've read a short fantasy story, called the Book of Sand?"　　
"Book of Sand?"　　　　
This time, it was Meng Li's turn to feel shocked. He was bending over to comb out his Cocker Spaniel's fur. Cocker Spaniels had naturally curly long fur, which easily tangled and needed frequent combing. Otherwise, they would look sleazy. Besides from studying, his graduate students had another assignment to comb the dog's hair, which made them joke that they were working at a cotton mill.　
Meng Li thought for a while and was certain that this name was unfamiliar. He hadn't read it.　　
"Like I said, I rarely read science fiction. Most of the books I read are about math. You have to keep learning these days, otherwise you'll get outdated very easily." He smiled. "Is this Book of Sand an interesting read?"　　
"No, despite the fact that it's called Book of Sand, it's not an actual book, but a short fantasy story with only 2000 words. The author is the Argentinean writer, Jorge Luis Borges. This is his most recognized work," explained Zhang Zian. He'd read the story a long time ago, but he still remembered it because it was so mind-blowing.  
"Oh?" Meng Li was slightly interested. "In math, brevity is beauty. A story of 2000 words is somehow this author's most recognized work? It must be deep in thought and artistic. What is it about?"　　
Zhang Zian recalled this science fiction story and began retelling it.　　
In the beginning of Book of Sand, the hero was an ordinary man living in an ordinary house. One day, a stranger visited him with a suitcase. The stranger was selling the Bible, but the man was not interested, as he already owned a few Bibles. Then the stranger took out another book. It wasn't a Bible, but the cover read The Holy Book.　　
After flipping open The Holy Book, the protagonist found that the page numbers were odd. They weren't in sequential order, but completely random. Most importantly, the page number of the book was endless, and he could never find the beginning nor the end. New pages always appeared out of nowhere, and the book had pictures like a dictionary.　　
The stranger said that he bought this book from a village. The salesperson called it The Book of Sand, as it was endless like sand.　　
It was a very strange book, but the stranger was willing to sell it to the man at a relatively low price. In fact, he'd wanted to get rid of it for a long time.　　
After getting this book, that man also became its slave. He stopped going out, for he loved the book so much that he couldn't step away from it. He studied it all day and night, because of his obsessive interest in it. He could no longer sleep. And even if he did sleep, he dreamed about it all the time.　　
Like the stranger, the man suddenly realized that his life would be completely ruined if he continued on this way. So he decided to get rid of this nightmare just as the stranger did.　
After getting this far, Zhang Zian suddenly started acting mysterious and asked, "Can you guess how the hero got rid of the book?"　　
Meng Li was completed drawn in by this odd story. He stopped combing the Cocker Spaniel's fur and took a guess. "Did he sell it to somebody else, like the stranger did?"
Zhang Zian smiled. "He did something smarter. He hid it like a tree in the forest. When nobody was watching, he hid the book on a bookshelf of a national library with 0.9 million books, and tried not to remember which shelf it was. He never even visited the street where the library was."　　
Meng Li knocked on the table with excitement. "Great idea! If he did so, this Book of Sand could no longer be found, unless some extremely unlucky guy picked it up, with a chance of 1 out of 0.9 million!"　　
Zhang Zian smiled bitterly.  This extremely unlucky is sitting right in front of you, and offered you a glass of orange juice.　
He remembered that when Pi first arrived at the pet shop, it would make a gesture of slipping sand out of its hand. Back then, he thought that it was referring to the sand of Ganges river. Could he be wrong?　　
"So is the story is over?" Meng Li was looking forward to hearing more.　　
Zhang Zian nodded. "It's finishes with an open ending. Professor, is this Book of Sand similar to The Hyperwebster Dictionary?"
Meng Li said, "Indeed. But the Hyperwebster is more rigorous, and it does have a beginning."　　
Zhang Zian agreed on this. The Hyperwebster was a theory of science, but the Book of Sand was a fantasy of literature. They shared some similarities only in certain aspects.
"Either the Hyperwebster or the Book of Sand, if they do exist, would be very precious. Aren't they? They would be the most impressive books on Earth. Or if there are other civilizations in the universe, could they come up with better books?" he asked.　　
He remembered that Galaxy once said the nameless book was the most impressive book on the earth, but not in the universe.　　
Meng Li asked, "Impressive? Of course. Except that both books have limitations, which is because they're written in English, and are limited to the 26 letters. Some ideas can't be expressed by just 26 English letters. If some civilization in the universe has a more comprehensive linguistic system, they could theorize a better version of the Hyperwebster."　　
Zhang Zian nodded. This confirmed Galaxy's remark.　　
"If you got a copy of the Book of Sand, or the Hyperwebster, what would you do?" He tentatively asked again.　　
Meng Li was drinking his orange juice. He stopped after hearing these words.　　
"Get a copy? Neither of these two book are supposed to exist in real life. How would I get a copy?" He pushed the question back with a scientist's rationality.　　
"In theory, let's suppose you had one." Zhang Zian clarified.　　
"Well..." Meng Li thought about it. "If I got the Book of Sand, I might read it. If I would end up getting obsessed over it like the man from the story...I'm not sure, maybe. A lot of people crave knowledge, after all. But if I got the Hyperwebster, well, it's hard to say. The words might be in random order. I wouldn't be able to read even if I try. Perhaps I would give it to the government." 　　
He was half joking.　　
"This is my other question." Zhang Zian ignored his joke. "If the words in the Hyperwebster are in random order, how can you know that it contains all knowledge and all of the great writings?"　　
Meng Li murmured, "This is theoretical. Theories are theories, after all. They never consider the obstacles of actually reading it."　　
Zhang Zian continued. "Have you heard this quote: My life has an end, but knowledge is endless?"　　
"Yes. I may be a mathematician, but I know this famous quote." Meng Li smiled. "It means that, our lives are limited, but knowledge is limitless. How is this related to our discussion about the Hyperwebster and the Book of Sand?"　　
"It is, in fact, very much related." Zhang Zian spoke firmly. "Professor Meng, do you know the second half of this quote?"　　
"Well..." Meng Li had no idea.　　
The first half of this quote was well-known, but the second half was often ignored. A lot of famous quotes were like this. People only took the parts that they needed, and twisted the original meanings. Such as the quote: When your parents are still around, you travel too far. It was often used to teach people to treat their parents properly. However, in the original text of Confucius, the second half was: If you travel, you must have a plan.
"The second half is: Chasing the endless with the limited is dangerous!" Zhang Zian answered his own question.　　
Meng Li considered the second half of the quote, and compared it to the first half. Then he said with uncertainty, "I'm not an expert in ancient literature. The second half means pursuing unlimited knowledge with my limited life is doomed to fail?"　
"Correct."　　
"Our ancestor's words still make sense today," exclaimed Meng Li.　
"I agree," said Zhang Zian half-heartedly. This was all his self-reflection. He understood something, more or less.　　
That untitled book, whether it was the Hyperwebster or the Book of Sand, or some other imaginary book of another civilization in the universe, was endless. But human beings were still limited. Pursuing the neverending with the limited was destined to fail. Therefore, nobody could read the nameless book on their own. As he flipped open the nameless book in attempt to understand it, he was making this mistake.
The man from the Book of Sand, out of his thirst for knowledge, was making the same mistake as well. He didn't realize that knowledge was without bounds, but his time was limited.　
It really was true. My life has an end, but knowledge is endless. Chasing the endless with the limited is dangerous!　　
Unless...　　
Meng Li realized this at the same time. "A limited person cannot read an endless book, unless there are endless numbers of people. If an infinite number of people are reading the Hyperwebster at the same time, and each person is extracting meaningful words and connect them into lines and articles, then they are pursuing infinity with infinity."　
"But how can there be infinite numbers of people? It's still meaningless." He shook his head and sighed.　　
No, it is meaningful, said Zhang Zian silently to himself.　　
He understood why Galaxy could read the nameless book. It had been through an infinite number of reincarnations, and had the infinity feature.　　
Famous was going through reincarnations with Galaxy in the Imagined World, and touched the border of infinity. That was why it could see blurry words.　　
Pi could read it, as it must have also possessed the infinite feature.　　
One could only understand the nameless book by pursuing infinity with infinity.

Unlike most of the kids his age, Ernst was different. When he was just a few months old, he was orphaned. The only thing that he had from his parents was a necklace which, later on in his life he had found that it contained coordinates to a mineral deposit. 

His parents died in an airplane accident. The engine of the airplane they were riding exploded. News reports say that the plane had a malfunction but people speculate that it was sabotaged.

Before his parents flew off to Japan, the physicist couple produced a study that could improve the technology of the world by leaps and bounds. They had published something  that had amazed the whole scientific community. However, this study was mysteriously taken down prior to their deaths. All copies were burned down and no news of the finding had ever surfaced. 
 
Some speculated that powerful people fought just to get research and that the couple were killed in a clash between the powerful parties but young Ernst was not aware of this. He was just a few months old back then. He only managed to learn about it when he searched about his parent's whereabouts after he graduated from college. 

He never really cared though. What's done is done. He just wanted to satisfy his curiosity about what really happened. Ever since he was growing up, he had a cold personality, many thought this was weird and that he needed love but Ernst never really cared. He preferred to stay with himself, immersing himself with books. Some kids would approach him and invite him to play but he would always turn them down. 

"Hey kid, you're gonna need some friends when you grow up." The orphanage manager sat next to him while patting Ernst's head. 

The boy just looked him in the eye and then continued to read his book. This book was actually so advanced for someone who was only 7 years old. The book was about Chemistry. Last month, he had just finished a Biology book and the other month, a Physics book. People at the orphanage were surprised to see him read those kind of books. When they asked Ernst whether he understood what he read or not, he just stared at them. 

Due to this, the people thought that he was just looking at the pictures and was not really reading. However, Ernst understood every bit of the laws and theories and even remembered all of what he read. Sometimes, he even wrote a few theories about the theories and try to improve the theories. If scientists were to look at this notebook, they would be shocked at his theories.

The Theory of Recapitulation also called embryological parallelism, which is said to represent the evolution of an animal's ancestors was rebuked by him. Instead, he theorized that the formation of an embryo is affected by which organ could support most life to the organism! 

Another theory he boldly rebuked was Einstein's Special Relativity. In this theory, Einstein said that that time moves relative to the observer. An object in motion experiences time dilation, meaning that time moves more slowly when one is moving, than when one is standing still. Therefore, a person moving ages more slowly than a person at rest. 

However, to Ernst, time is a separate entity, unaffected by anything. Likewise, space is also a separate entity such that when Time and Space are mixed together, it results to a different concept just like how Green is produced from combining Blue and Yellow. Although time may seem different to people living in earth and beings light years away from earth, from an omnipotent being's view, time flows just the same.

The bald man sighed, stood up, patted the boy's head more, and then left him. He still sat there, reading his book. 

When the bald man left, a young girl approached Ernst. She had eyes like a doe and her hair was cut short. Aside from missing a few teeth and a runny nose, she looked cute for a little kid. 

"Hey Ernst, don't you want to play like just once? Please?" The little girl swayed side to side. Ernst just stared at her, closed the book and placed it down on the table. "This will be the first and the last time so please do your best." 

"Yes!" The little girl had a big smile on her face as Ernst accepted her request. For some reason, the mysterious and quiet boy had attracted him since he was unlike any boy in the orphanage -rowdy and boisterous. "Let's play Hide & Seek!"

This is the first time Ernst had played with any of the kids. Before he was able to read, he played only with himself. When he learned to read, he spent his leisure time reading all the books that he can. By the age of 4, he was already reading books for 8 year old kids. At 5 he was reading books for 12 year old kids. When he was 6, he could already read books meant for High School students. 

"Okay." Ernst accepted the girl's request."

"Yay! I would count from 1 to 10 and you will hide alright?" The girl instructed.

"Alright." 

"One, Two..."

Ernst went to the place he knew no one knew. He discovered it by accident when he was getting some books in their library. The library at the orphanage was big since it housed not only the orphans but also students who availed the orphanage as an apartment. The library was divided into two parts, one for Math and Science and the other was for Literature. 

Without a doubt, the hiding place he discovered was in the Math and Science area. There was a small secret door that led to the outside of the orphanage where only small kids can fit. At first, he wondered why there was such a thing but he erased it off his mind since it did not really matter. 

"Ten!" The girl with a pigtails and runny nose started looking for Ernst. 

When he was already outside the orphanage he felt dizzy. His chest started to hurt and his heart beat faster. It wasn't his heart that was hurting but  his birth mark - the birthmark that looked like a tattoo of a tiger. It felt like it was burning and the last thing he saw before he collapsed was the girl staring at him from the window of the library, crying. 

He dreamed of a monster. This monster was black in color and it looked like a mix of a tiger and an octopus.  It had neon blue stripes on its black body and at certain intervals, more stripes would appear and more so at certain intervals. 

He found himself inside a ruined vehicle. Dead bodies of humans and weird looking creatures were everywhere. His gaze was attracted to a spot near the neon creature. There was a beautiful girl lying on the floor. Then, he felt something weird in his chest. When he looked down, he saw that his chest was stabbed by one of the tentacles of the tiger. He felt a strange sense of familarity and anger at this sight. Then, he woke up.

It was just a dream but it looked so real. When he stood up, he found himself in the orphanage's clinic. There was no one there except for the nurse. 

"Nothing seems to be wrong with you. Maybe because it's the first time you walked in the sunshine in a long time. We've been telling you to run around some time and play with others but you are too hardheaded."

The bald man smiled at Ernst and sighed. "Okay run along now." 

Ernst sat up, stretched his body a bit and left the clinic. 

"What was that?"

However, as a boy who forgets things that aren't useful, he pushed this dream to the back of his head. Ten years later, at the young age of 17, he became a renowned scientist specializing in Chemistry. 

He had a tall and lean stature with a height of 5'11. He wore an eyeglass that enhanced his sharp nose. His hair was cut clean at the sides and he sported a clean facial hair as well. He was busy working on an important test subject of his: a traditional Japanese Katana.

Ernst Haeckel was reborn! Not in another world but to his past life however,he did not retain any of his memories nor had a cheat system. He lived his life as a prestigious scientist until the apocalypse occurred and zombies plagued the world.
