Aiden stretched his limbs and yawned loudly.
For some reason, he felt totally different that day.
His limbs felt languid and were totally relaxed as if he had been asleep for days!
He knew clear enough that it was not time to slack... he had to prepare for the day to carry on his usual routine and make a living to earn some bucks, just like what he usually did.
"But wait.... maybe five more minutes..."
He bargained to himself.
But then, a second after that, both of Aiden's eyes instantly became wide open.
His sleepy eyes went to being two big circles when he finally remembered what happened to him
He was abducted by Nathalia!
"WHERE AM I??!"
He blurted out in panic and it was only then that he had a chance to look around him.
And because he could not believe what he just saw, Aiden tried to rub his eyes a few more times.
Hoping to wipe away the remaining sleepiness that he had on him if there was still any.
For what surrounded him at that very moment felt something that came straight out of his wildest dream.
"WHAT THE HECK!!!!"
Aiden gasped in amazement and for a while he forgot his panic for being abducted.
The room that he was currently at was indeed unfamiliar, to say the least.
And Aiden could bet his wrist that it was the largest room that he had ever been.
But what really made Aiden awed was not its size, but rather the grandeur that the place had offered to him.
Saying that the room was made out of pure riches and luxury seemed to be an understatement to describe how it looked.
Even palaces that he had seen in magazines before paled in comparison to the place that he was currently at.
Just his room alone was enough to speak volumes of how marvelous the place was.
Using his eyes to wander around the place, he saw that the room was decorated with detailed designs and they were all made from gold, platinum, and other metals.
Likewise, various colored gemstones were also placed as designs on the posts of the bed, walls as well as the ceiling.
Even the chandelier itself was no exemption. It was ornamented with what looked like diamonds!
It sat on the center of the ceiling hanging above the room like a perfect centerpiece.
And just that single piece itself seemed to be worth more than Aiden's life!
EVERY PIECE OF THE PLACE SCREAMED OF EXTRAVAGANCE!!!
It was not that often that Aiden would have a chance to marvel a place like that.
Opportunities like that was so rare, if not impossible.
That was why Aiden allowed his curiosity to get the better of him at that time.
Aiden held his breath as he took his first step at the black marble floor.
The stone-cold floor numbed is barefoot, but that did not stop him from approaching the nearest lamp.
When he got near the lamp and finally got a chance to have a close looked of it, he saw that the body of the lamp seemed to be made of gold as well.
At the same time, it was also decorated with amethyst as big as the size of his thumbs!
But what made the lamp different from the usual lamp that he had seen before, was that it did not come with a light bulb.
What it had instead was a peculiar fire of blue color burning on its center.
"WOAH! AWESOME!!!!"
Aiden could not help but exclaimed.
He looked back at his bed and realized that the even the mattress where he actually slept and lied down, were of silk sheets of the highest quality.
No wonder, he slept really well.
But the wonder did not just stop on his mattress. In fact, that was just the beginning because even his king-size bed was no joking matter.
It was a four-poster bed with gossamer-thin curtains.
And just like the rest of the room, its wood was also inlaid with gold and silver!
"Damn it! If I could just lift and sell, even just this bed alone, then I could probably buy myself a Lamborghini or maybe even two!"

Zhang Zian was busy the whole day and now it was almost time for him to go to bed. 
Zhang Zian had been exhausted throughout the day, but now that he knew the elves' lives could be extended, his tiredness vanished completely. However, he hadn't told the news to Old Time Tea or the other elves yet. As Pi had said, it wasn't the right time. If he hastily told the news to everyone, they would be too expectful. The reality might be too disappointing. For that reason, they might as well not know about it in the first place. 
Even if the lifetime of the elves really could be extended infinitely, the elves had to go through an extremely difficult process to do so. Judging from Pi's stern expression as it read the untitled book, Zhang Zian figured that this may be his biggest challenge and trial since he downloaded the Pet Hunter game.
Although he couldn't understand the untitled book, whether it was the Hyperwebster Dictionary, The Book of Sand, or a fantasy book from another civilization in the universe, he was still very grateful for it. Without it, he wouldn't have found out about such reassuring and hopeful news.
The elves had fallen asleep, one after the other. Before going to sleep, Richard had been very active that night, as if everything put him in a good mood. Zhang Zian had to hang it upside down to calm it down. 
When everyone was in bed, Pi was still sitting in front of the computer, typing away.
"Pi, did the noise bother you?" Zhang Zian came over and asked. He knew how annoying Richard and Snowy Lionet were.
Pi shook its head no.
"Well, we're all going to bed now. Please go to sleep as soon as you finish writing." Zhang Zian brought over a small desk lamp. The lamp light was turned away from the bedroom, so it wouldn't affect anyone's sleeping.
He didn't plan on telling Pi what he was doing later, because he wasn't sure whether he would be successful or not. He didn't want Pi to be disappointed after giving it so much hope. 
Pi grinned and nodded.
Zhang Zian glanced at the elves again. After confirming that each elfin was in its correct place, he turned off the ceiling light. 
With the light from the desk lamp and his own nightlight, he laid on his bed and stared at the ceiling, listening to Pi type. He thought about the elves' lives for a while, and then thought about the situation of Uncle Li's diner. He tried to allow all of his thoughts to occupy his mind and keep himself from falling asleep.
About an hour later he heard a click, and the fan noise from the laptop disappeared. Pi turned off the desk lamp and the room grew darker. It climbed into the basket hammock chair to go to sleep.
Zhang Zian kept his eyes open for a while, and almost fell asleep. He pinched his thighs to keep himself awake. 
He looked up and guessed that Pi had already fallen asleep. Then, he grabbed his cell phone by his pillow and opened the Qidian app.
That day, as he watched Pi write, he had secretly browsed the Internet on his cell phone, trying to find out what the amazing reading lists were.
After he finished researching, he knew that reading lists were an important supplement to the Official Recommendation Spots from the Qidian website. A reading list was created by an individual, who would list his or her favorite books and the reasons why they would recommended those books on their list. If other readers agreed with the owner's suggestions, they would start following the creator of the list. The reading list owners were similar to bloggers who reviewed digital products on video websites, and the digital products recommended by bloggers tended to receive more attention. Some reading list owners even had tens of thousands of followers. 
After careful searching, Zhang Zian discovered that the reading list owners were roughly divided into two categories. One type introduced and reviewed each book in great length, while the other kind of reading list owners introduced each book with only one sentence. The former type attracted much more followers than the latter. After all, through the detailed evaluations and introductions, the readers could tell that the reading list owners had put in a lot of work into every book. 
That day, he had mentally noted the reading list owners' IDs who wrote long book reviews and then went to the comment sections of their lists. He first ruled out the most popular reading list owners, because in their comment sections, numerous authors or authors who pretended to be readers were promoting their own books. Those reading list owners wouldn't be able to read all the books being recommended to them, even if they tried to read 24 hours a day.
As for the reading list owners that attracted fewer followers, their comment sections were basically empty. It wouldn't be helpful for Zhang Zian to advertise Pi's novel in those lists. 
After more research, he targeted a reading list owner who had the tenth most followers. The ID name of the reading list owner was Morning Gorilla Star, who was mentioned by the author of Diplomats of the Underworld. 
Morning Gorilla Star had written down his requirements about posting advertisements in his comment: Do not copy and paste your ads. I will promote urban novels that have no or only one female protagonist.
Zhang Zian felt relieved when he read these requirements. He was extremely popular with women, and many cute girls were desperately hoping to be his girlfriend. Pi had just hidden this fact while writing the novel based on the life in Zhang Zian's pet shop. Therefore, Pi's novel had managed to meet Morning Gorilla Star's requirements.
Advertising was like sending resumes to hiring managers. The key points of the novel must be written as concisely as possible. What was the highlight of Pi's novel? It certainly wasn't that the protagonist didn't have a girlfriend! 
He typed on his phone: Can I promote my own book? The title of the book is Pet King. The protagonist, who is the owner of a pet shop, downloads a game that can capture elves. Together with the elves, he witnesses the growth of the pet shop. There is no female protagonist in this book. 
He thought it over and added "Currently" in front of the sentence, "There is no female protagonist in this book." Then, he satisfyingly clicked the "Send" button.
After sending the message, Zhang Zian repeatedly refreshed the comment section and anxiously waited for a reply from the reading list owner, just like a job seeker who was constantly refreshing emails and nervously waiting for replies after sending out his resume. Zhang Zian had read the books recommended by Morning Gorilla Star, and all the books were well-written. Perhaps Morning Gorilla Star wouldn't think Pi's novel was good enough. However, Zhang Zian hoped that Morning Gorilla Star, who had read countless books, could at least tell him why Pi's novel failed to be recommended by him. In that case, Zhang Zian could help Pi revise the novel. Zhang Zian was acting like a job seeker who was close to starving to death and desperately needed a job, whatever the job was, to feed himself.
Since it was nearly one o'clock in the morning, the owner had probably gone to bed already. Watching his comment drowning in other comments from authors promoting their own books, Zhang Zian couldn't help but sigh in dismay.
Perhaps he sighed too loud, because Zhang Zian heard a squeaking sound come from the hammock chair. It sounded like Pi had turned over.
He locked his phone screen and waited a little longer. He didn't unlock his phone until there wasn't any more sounds coming from the chair.
What should he do?
He was very sleepy. Should he wait till the reading list owner woke up and try advertising again? 
No, he shouldn't wait. Tomorrow, Pi would receive its first Minor Recommendation Spot. If its novel failed to be ranked in the top three or top four spots, it might never have a chance to receive a recommendation again.
With that thought, he decided to advertise on another reading list. Advertising was just like begging, and as long as he could swallow his pride now, he would gradually become thick-skinned. 
This time, he lowered his expectations by moving his attention from the reading list owners with tens of thousands of followers to ones with hundreds of followers, hoping that some of them hadn't fallen asleep yet.
Zhang Zian noticed that there was one whose ID was Yang Chenkong. In his reading list, Yang Chenkong wrote reviews with thousands of words for each book and offered many thoughtful insights. However, Yang Chenkong only had a mere 3,000 followers. Would it really be useful to advertise in this list?
Zhang Zian desperately went to the comment section. To his surprise, he saw that this reading list owner was still online, discussing his opinions with his friends about a certain book. 
Zhang Zian hadn't read the book that they were talking about. However, from reading their conversation, Zhang Zian felt as if he had read it and learned about its successes and failures. From observing, Zhang Zian could tell that Yang Chenkong was very professional. 
For some reason, the comment section of his reading list was blank and had no advertisements. Zhang Zian chuckled to himself. He could take advantage of this rare opportunity to advertise. 
There were some basic rules of advertising for all reading lists. Unlike like people who put advertisements in bathrooms,  book-promoting advertisements couldn't be randomly posted. Each reading list owner had different requirements for advertisements. For example, Morning Gorilla Star had explicitly stated that he would only recommend novels with no or one female protagonist. Yang Chenkong, however, had a wide range of book choices. Except for supernatural novels, Yang Chenkong basically read every genre. 
However, the most difficult thing was that the list owner didn't specify which book genres he would recommend, and Zhang Zian didn't know how to cater to his preferences. After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Zian rewrote the message that he had sent to Morning Gorilla Star. He deleted the sentence "Currently, there is no female protagonist in this book." He added, "Feel free to read the sample chapters, but don't blame me if you're poisoned (Translator's Note: Read and Poison sound the same in Chinese)," hoping that his self-deprecating tone would draw Yang Chenkong's attention. 
After clicking "Send", he was too tired to repeatedly refresh the comment section as he did before. It was almost half past one in the morning, and he would need to get up early that day.
Putting down his cell phone, Zhang Zian lay down flat on the bed. Soon, he was half-awake and half-asleep, and he would completely fall asleep at any moment. 
In the darkness, Pi had been watching him the whole time. It had barely moved, except to slightly change its posture after its legs started to get numb.
Pi had always known about Zhang Zian's actions. It could tell from Zhang Zian's exhaustion. 
Since Zhang Zian was so tired, it wouldn't matter if he did these things later, right?
Pi opened its mouth and silently imitated the shape of someone saying "thank you."
What?
Zhang Zian thought he heard something. It seemed like someone was talking to him. He barely could open his eyes. His drowsiness was as heavy as a mountain, pressing down on his eyelids.
He looked around and found nothing out of the ordinary. He unlocked his phone screen and saw that it was past two in the morning. 
Since he hadn't logged out from the Qidian app yet, he clicked open Yang Chenkong's comment section, the second reading list owner he advertised on that night, hoping to find Yang Chenkong's review on Pi's novel. However, he found no review, and saw that the advertisement he had posted was gone.
No wonder the comment section was so empty. As it turned out, Yang Chenkong deleted all of the advertisements in his comment section. Zhang Zian's efforts were again all in vain. 
He couldn't keep his eyes open anymore. He shoved his cell phone under his pillow and fell asleep.

"…" Peach's mother looked helplessly at her daughter. Sigh… They are both children. Why are they so different? Occasionally, when they had nothing on, Peach would help her mother to wrap dumplings, but the dumplings would always look rather ugly. Chenchen had never even wrapped a single dumpling before but the moment he attempted it, he was able to wrap a perfect dumpling.
On second thoughts, Peach was only six years old, two years younger than Chenchen, it was good enough that she was able to wrap dumplings albeit crooked ones. Thinking of it this way, Peach's mother felt more relieved.
With Shen Mochen's help, the dumplings were wrapped exceptionally quickly. In a short period of time, the bamboo tray was already full of dumplings.
Satisfied, Peach's mother went to cook the dumplings, leaving Peach and Shen Mochen alone in the room, staring at each other .
"Umm… Husband, are you still angry?" Peach examined Shen Mochen carefully and pondered over her options for a long time, before deciding to break the silence.
"Humph." Shen Mochen glanced at her before picking his book up off of the table. He then continued reading seriously from where he had left off. 
Her attempt to pacify him had failed once again.
Frustrated, she scratched her head. Peach hopped off from the chair and went into the kitchen to help her mother.
After dinner, Peach's mother bathed both children. She then laid another quilt on Peach's bed, and urged both of them to go to bed quickly.
"Kids, you should sleep early and get up early!" Peach's mother stood at the door of Peach's room with her hands on her hips, educating them seriously. After which, she headed back to her room to watch her television programme.
Peach and Shen Mochen sat on the bed with their individual quilts, facing each other.
Shen Mochen had a habit of reading before going to bed, so he turned on the bedside lamp and leaned against the bed head to read his book. 
On the other hand, Peach snuggled under the covers, and gazed at Shen Mochen's side profile. Under the reflection of the bedside lamp, she could see that his eyelashes were long and curly. At that moment, his eyelashes were drooping down, casting shadows under his eyes. His nose was very straight and his lips were pursed tightly whilst reading. As Peach looked at him, she dozed off without realising.
Shen Mochen's eyes finally shifted from his book to Peach's sleeping face.
Nestled in a warm quilt, Peach's fair face was slightly flushed. Her large doe eyes were shut tight, and her distinct eyelashes trembled gently in her sleep. Her ruby-lipped mouth was slightly opened, making her look adorable. Breathing through her tiny nose, her breaths were long and even.
"So stupid!" Shen Mochen murmured softly at Peach who was asleep, his delicate eyebrows were deeply furrowed. Thinking about it, he reached out to pinch Peach's smooth, soft, round cheeks. When he stretched her cheeks hard, her mouth formed a straight line.
The corner of Shen Mochen's lips turned up in satisfaction. He then turned off the bedside lamp, and slept with his back to Peach.
As he dozed off, Shen Mochen suddenly felt something burrowing into his quilt. Shen Mochen turned over, and was immediately hugged by Peach. A pair of little legs began wrapping around him.
Again.
Shen Mochen rolled his eyes helplessly, as Peach was clinging onto him. Using both his hands and feet, he forcefully peeled Peach off of himself.
"Waaa!" Unsurprisingly, Peach's loud cries rang out, piercing through the silence of the night.


That year, he was four years old and she was two. 
Trailing behind him, she calls out inarticulately, “Husband... Husband”. 
In a child-like voice, he asks, “Do you know what a husband is?” 
“For kissing!” she exclaims as she throws herself at him. 
Engaged from birth, Peach’s eyes are only filled with Shen Mochen. However, her cold and expressionless fiancée does not reciprocate her feelings. Determined to marry no one else but him, Peach sets off on a long journey to woo her fiancé’s heart. 

Chapter one : Smoldering eyes

                  This is my true experiences of the unknown through out the years .  It might not be believable to others but everything I saw, everything I experience , everything happened , I know to myself, everything is real.

           One of my earliest experience happened inside my own home. Year 1999, I am an Elementary student. That time , our city frequently experienced brownout. It is not a big deal to us as we are used to it . One Friday night, after dinner , we got another brownout. My big brother get out of the house and hangout with his friends outside. My mother and father stay in the first floor while me and my younger sister gone up to the second floor armed with our fans and gas lamp.
          Our second floor and stairs are made out of wood, so when anyone go upstairs, the one on  the second floor can definitely feel it. Our second floor don't have any partition , it is just a long room with two beds, one for my brother near the stairs and one for the two of us sisters at the other end. When we are lying in bed, we can still see the landing of the stairs. 
           My little sister is kinda early sleeper that time, just 9pm and she's knockdown. While me, a bookworm, use the gas lamp to read. While reading , I can feel someone with heavy steps is walking up the stairs. I quickly shut my book and hid it, I am not allowed to read to books in gas lamp that time. I look at the stairs and saw someone. 
          I saw my father staring at me. I wait for him to speak and also wondering why he gone up. My father seldomly go up the second floor. After moment of staring, I ask him " bakit Tay? (Why papa?), He didn't reply,just continue staring at me. Looking at him, I notice how red his eyes is, smoldering red, but I thought that time ,maybe he done some welding at his work ( he is a mechanic).
          I ask him again " Tay bakit?"( Papa, why), again ,nothing. So I stand up from the bed and take the gas lamp with me. I walk toward him near the stairs and look at him. I notice he is standing in the second to the last step of our stairs. His feet and lower body didn't reflect any light. Just a black shadow, and thin limbs. I was taken aback cause I can clearly see he is a little less taller than my father and thinner too. And he is unmoving! I feel cold in my gut,my hand clammy,  I realized there is something wrong with him, then  I heard my mom speak down stairs. She is asking something to my father. And I heard my father answer him. I stood woodenly after hearing that! While inside my head I keep asking "who the hell is this person infront of me?!", With cold hands and feet , I almost fly towards the bed where my sister is! Thank God I didn't drop that gas lamp and manage to put it in the table beside our bed. Even though it's hot, I take the blanket and cover myself in it. Teeths chattering, heart thudding, I hold on to that blanket with my dear life until I calm down!
             I let minutes passed until I gather my wits and courage to see if that person still there. I take a peek and I regretted it immediately! He is still there! Just looking but more blurry that before! But the eyes, I can't forget that red smoldering eyes. It is terrifying. Until now when I remembering about it, I am still scared.
            I manage to fall sleep with blanket on the entire night. I didn't even care how sweaty I am . I just don't want to see him again! , And my sister,  she didn't even budge no matter how I nudge her.
             In the morning, my mother ask why I sleep with blanket all over me last night. She know I don't use blankets while sleeping. I tell her what happened that night. She said maybe it is my uncle who died that year,. Just taking his visit. I didn't argue with her but I knew, it is not him. He is different.

This is a compilation of true to life experiences towards the unknown. Not fantasy, not fiction. All real.

*****

 that time mose was reading a story to Marie in her daughter's room which had been completely changed by lily. which had been as versatile as a princess in a fairyland, Lily transformed into an adventurous model, or the room was turned into a large tent and on top of that there was a small star-shaped lamp and a sweet moon, the princess's mattress turned into a level mattress, where she had to ride with small scale and there is a tunnel to go down.

The level bed was in the form of a large tree branch with circular edges like a beautiful railing around the perimeter, the tree branch was made of iron pillars and pillars that were very sturdy, five strong adults climbed Marie's bed. there were lots of stuffed animals around them,

 underneath there was a bigger stuffed animal, so if Marie fell, there was a pile of dolls that would hold her. and all of the rooms' floors were covered in thick, fresh green feather mattresses.

Lily added a large bear-shaped fist bearing on the side of one wall. the teddy bear is very cute and very large four times the size of an adult, there is a referral board, it reads on my stomach if you want candy.

each time Marie hit ten times the bear's stomach, one candy spewed out the bear. if marie hits 100 times the bear takes out a card with cute letters and pictures from lily. Marie put it on the wall, next to the bear who accidentally emptied it with Marie wall power!

the first time the room was finished, not only Marie was surprised, mose and Mario and Markus were equally surprised. does Miss Lily want to practice martial arts? is it because of the kidnapping by the crow woman?

mose and others agreed to this, besides Marie was very happy to see her new room look like a new playground for her. Marie was very happy immediately trying to punch the big bear, Markus taught Marie how to punch properly.

there was even a marie uniform to punch the bear. helmet with cat ears and soft boxing gloves with a small ornament like a cat's hand. when Marie wears him like a little cat that attacks a big bear. so cute!

finally lily gives a bed lamp that has a picture of lily, marie and mose even mario and markus and butler ho and all the servants who come in, one of the pictures that appears alternately emerges from the hole in the wall.

lily directed to the wall opposite marie wall power, there was writing on it, i was no longer lonely because i already knew many people who loved and loved me. underneath it was Marie Nolan's writing

Marie cried seeing that, she hid behind Lily's body, hugged her tightly. everyone was touched by this lily gift. 

only the mose furrowed his brow, he knew when lily gave this thing, mose felt the lily would leave them. because of that lily made something so that marie wasn't sad and lonely anymore.

The fairy tale read by mose is about a girl who ventured into a foreign land, the girl then met the prince of a foreign royal princess and they held her in their palace. apparently they don't intend evil, they just want to ask the girl to help a foreign country that is in a curse.

a curse that made all the inhabitants of the palace unable to smile, cry and be angry. then ... mose saw his daughter in the dream, mose stopped the story. this is the 3rd book that he read tonight, usually mose must read 3-5  books, Marie, fall asleep.

Lily told mose that while reading a book, he hand would occasionally rub Marie's head and look at Marie occasionally and smile or laugh if there was something funny in the storybook. or pretend to be surprised, when you see a surprising sentence and add sound sounds like animals, wind, and others while reading.

It's not useless to learn from lily how to tell children, Marie always fall asleep faster with a very satisfied smile. mose kissed her child, and tidied up marie blankets so that the child remained warm. 

mose looked at several dozen new books without their authors and illustrations. many book the stories, mose never read it, it looks like lily wrote and printed it herself. mose can see the cover of the books similar to the lily picture drawing style.

seems to be known to others, sometimes mose reads it for himself. and the more mose no longer knew, his daughter sometimes secretly peeked at his father reading the books.

'papa, it's okay if you read my book quietly, but I hope you don't just quietly love mama' Marie could only close her eyes, and pray in her heart. 

she just wants daddy and mom to live with her always.

[spoiler ^_^]

"Why can you get sick like this?" asked mose while sitting at the place before sitting sitting with Lily.

 Lily and Kai looked at each other, Lily signaled if he talked about yesterday, Lily would kill kai. kai nodded as if he understood what lily hinted at.

"Yesterday she took a shower and cameout without wearing anything, so she caught a cold" said Kai giving an explanation.

 lily and mose are silent, mose eyes looked surprised to hear that. but his face remained calm did not change at all.

kai continue the words of death "I do not know her habit after bathing is naked without wearing anything. have you ever seen she habits like that, Mr. Nolan?"

Kai smiled full of victory!

It was a very fine day and Dyllan Chronuscht was already wide awake, sitting on his bed with his pair of spectacles polished until it gleams, reading a heavy –looking book much bigger than his hands could hold with a title of Advance Magic Conjuration Level Five. It was a scene of pure tranquility, until it was shattered by an ear piercing howl coming outside the open glass doors leading to the balcony. Dyllan was startled and almost dropped his heavy book, he immediately got up and carefully put the book on his night table, the action alone almost made the lamp on his table crash towards the floor, thankfully Dyllan seemed to have predicted the outcome and saved the lamp from shattering. Dyllan walked around his bed, went past the doors and leaned unto the articulate railings of his personal balcony looking out to the distance trying to locate where the howl had came from.

"It looks like a mighty beast from the Northern Misty Ice Mountain Range, but why does it sound so near? What is happening out there?"

He wondered while still looking out the distance, he didn't feel the presence of someone that entered his room.

"Dyllan!!! What do you think you're doing?!"

His mother shouted upon seeing him leaning against the balcony railings, which startled Dyllan and almost made him fall. Running at an inhuman speed his mother pulled him against her and hugged him while her face was as white as paper and her hands trembling with fear. 

"Dyllan my love, please don't ever do that again, my heart just stopped beating and I almost died."

His mother kept mumbling against his ears while silent tears kept rolling along her cheeks.

"…." 

I'm the one who almost died woman! My heart stopped beating too! Dyllan thought while hugging his mother and comforting her. This has always been the norm between the two mother and son, over the years his mother's leash on him keeps getting tighter and tighter, there are a lot of things that he could do before that he couldn't do now, like climbing a tree. But despite all he still believed that one day he could be able to live a life without his mother worrying about his every move.

"What are you doing out here, you need to stay inside there are a few beasts lingering just near the Northern Walls your Uncle Claymonde is already there battling them out so I don't think those beasts could ever breach the wall but in case something untoward happens you need to be safely hidden inside, what has gotten into you that your dangling yourself upon the balcony railings….!"

His mother shot out bullets after bullets of scolding that almost made Dyllan deaf.

"Mother, I just wanted to know where the howl came from, I thought it was already inside the walls, because it was so loud." 

Dyllan reasoned while adjusting his spectacles against his nose bridge and sighing.

"What has it got to do with you even if you know where the howl came from?" 

His mother asked him; with eyes glaring like a mountain beast, he had seen and killed many; and his mother's glare was so alike those fierce eyes.

"I… Nothing mother…"

He said after a while trying to look her mother in the eye and hoping against all hope that his expression can convince her that he isn't that invested in this affair and it's just mere curiosity.

"You better be sure that it is nothing. I won't tolerate any of your escapades again young man."

She said tersely while giving him a stern look. 

"Now you need to tidy up and I'll be waiting for you at the dining hall for breakfast."

She said and walked out Dyllan's room like nothing happened humming a tune that Dyllan seems to remember as his father's favorite.

"Why is it so hard talking with her?" 

Dyllan mumbled to himself while getting ready for breakfast.

The dining hall was devoid of any joyous spirit as what has been observed for the past years; Dyllan's mother was already seated at the left side of the table from the patriarch's side as what has been the custom even though the patriarch is already gone. Dyllan walked slowly towards the right side of the table opposite his mother as where the heir is usually seated. Dyllan sat and looked at his mother warily while picking on his food slowly.

"Dyllan eat properly, you should conduct yourself with the conduct befitting your title." 

His mother looked at him with a glower, and then carried on with a loving gaze saying.

"Son, I know you most definitely love your little adventures, and don't you think for one second that I don't know what happens in my own house! I know for a fact that you've been gallivanting around the outskirts of that godforsaken forest along with your sword, and bow and arrows, oh… and I think I don't need to mention how you influenced that young man Gedric to follow you and trot about inside that awful place where your father lost his life and…" Before she could carry on Dyllan cut her off with a stare reminiscent of his father's.

"Mother, I know what I'm doing I am already old. My father was already a knight when he was my age. What do you think he would say if he could see me just reading books all the time? And besides I don't believe that my father would die at the hands of mere beasts, he is definitely alive and is waiting for me to rescue him, that's why Gedric, my friend, and I have been looking for clues throughout the years."

He explained to his mother with a sigh similar to an old man who has gone weary of the same conversation for years. He got up without any preamble, retraced his steps towards his bedroom, picked up his book sitting right where he left it beside the table lamp, sauntered toward the balcony and sat at the chair near the corner beside a table and continued reading the book.

A journey of a young man through a mystical world...

However, Yeona, in course of time, took revenge against her killer.The man got married after 3 years of her murder. His wife was beautiful and educated, she was also working as an executive in a large company.

She was also from an affluent family. After the marriage both went for honey moon and came back after just 5 days. Both were very happy because the place they had visited was known for its scenic beauty. 

They returned from honey moon just now, however, from the bus stand, she called a cab and went to her house for just 4 days. The man was very tired after a long journey.

So, after shower and taking break fast he had a sound sleep. He woke up at 1 pm, went to a restaurant and had lunch there. He avoided the trouble of cooking. When he returned home, somebody called him, so he spoke for sometime with him then threw himself on bed and had a nice sleep again.

In the evening he felt very fresh. He prepared a cup of coffee, kept on the bed side table and was reading an interesting book lying on the bed and occasionally sipping coffee.

It was about 7 pm. The door of the room was ajar. The next room was dark only a dim light was on and the room where he was lying was also dark, except a table lamp which he had kept on in order to read the book.

But the light has made the room quite bright , except some patchy shadows here and there, one can see every thing clearly in the room.

The man was totally absorbed in reading the book and sipping coffee from time to time.

Suddenly, he noticed that a shadow passed over him from his head towards his legs. He , however, didn't care and continued to read. Again he noticed the same thing, so, he moved his book and looked at the door which was partially opened. 

He saw a woman standing at the door, only a part of her body was visible as the door was partly opened. He asked, " Who is there ? please come in." He switched on the light, sat on the bed .

He got up to see who was standing but no one was seen. He came out of his house and saw that a neighbour was standing out and feeding her child, he asked, " Excuse me Mam, Did you see anyone coming into my house ? "

The woman was surprised by his question. She first looked at his door then turned towards him and said, " How can any body come in sir, as your door was closed."

He thought for a moment, came in and started reading once again.

A collection of paranormal short stories ...

These stories prove that...

Some things which can be beyond your imagination and are mysterious....



[We have it on good authority, sir.] Xavier frowned as read the new message. His phone had blown up all night and once Jos had fallen asleep he had finally read them all... but he wasn't pleased with what the messages had entailed. 
He typed out a reply to his tech. [Send the address to Dante. Tell him to handle this shit right away I will end them both.] Xavier glanced down at the sleeping form beside him. {I refuse to let anything take her away from me now. She is everything I've ever wanted. There is no other person that has ever affected me like this woman. There is nothing that would keep me from fighting to have her by my side for the rest of my life.} A ping from his tablet brought his thoughts back to the current situation. He snarled as he read the name of the sender, Dante… He glanced over at the soft body beside him as she let out a soft moan and shifted.
Joslyn woke to the pitch darkness of an unfamiliar room. The mattress shifted beside her as a hand came down lightly atop her hip. She rolled over and meet the gleam of Xavier's bright green eyes that lit the dark. Her mind was still a bit foggy from the alcohol she had drunk, but that wasn't what had woken her up. She could feel her cheeks flush as she realized he manages to put a loss shirt on her after she had fallen asleep. "Ummm, I… I… have… to…" She glanced away feeling her cheeks heat more. 
Xavier smiled; he sat the tablet he had been working on onto the nightstand beside him. He leaned down over her and placed a light kiss on reddest part of her cheek. "Do you need the bathroom?"
She nodded glancing up into tender eyes. "Yes, please."
He leaned down and kissed her nose lightly before turning away and scooting to the edge of the other side of the large bed. He pushed the cover down and stood up. He adjusted the silky boxer before walking around to her side of the bed. He extended his hand out to her and walked her through the dark bedroom toward a large door. He opened the door and slid his hand down the wall until the overhead light turned on. 
With a flick of the switch amber light filtered through several globes clustered in groups around a brilliant white and gray marble vanity. It reflected softly off the matching marble that ran up the walls and down along the floors and through a massive glass-encased shower. Gold gleamed from the fixtures around the room along with the many canisters and vases adorning the counter. A large round mirror hung dead center where Xavier's pleased smiling eyes met hers.
"Oh wow!" Joslyn said as her unsteady gaze went from the large room back up to him. "You must be a great surf instructor." 
He laughed, his eyes glittering down at her. "I may have my hand in a few other ventures."
"You don't say?" She said sarcastically as she walked farther into the bathroom.
He laughed again, "I'll go turn on a lamp while you're in there. Do you want water or anything?"
She turned back toward the door, but he had already disappeared back into the darkness. "No, I'm ok."
When she came back into the bedroom, he was sitting on the edge of the bed with the table lamp on, illuminating his features. His arms were crossed over his bare chest. The tablet dinged from the nightstand, but he didn't take his eyes off her as she walked slowly toward him. She tilted her head as she examined him closer. He was topless with a pair of loss pajama pants on and a pair of reading glasses rested on the end of his nose "Have you slept at all?"
He grinned, "No, not really. Vampires really don't need much sleep. If they do sleep, it's usually the ones who can't go out during the day and that's usually out of boredom." He chuckled and shrugged his shoulders before extending his arms out toward her.
She stepped into his arms as she asked, "What do you mean 'out during the day'?"
He pulled her against him, "It's complicated to explain." He circled both arms around her small body and stroked his check against her plump breast. "Come, lay back down. I wouldn't mind sleeping… if it's with you." He gazed up over the frames at her, his chin still resting against her breast.
She ran her hand through his soft hair. {If there is one thing to be said about this man, he is enticing. Staring into his eyes are absolutely hypnotic.} Before she had even finished nodding yes, he tightened his grip on her waist and flipped her onto the bed beside him. She let out a startled giggle.
He leaned over to set the glasses down and turn the light off before scooting onto the bed and laying down beside her. He pulled her up against him, sliding one arm under her head, and lightly stroking her back once again. With the index finger of his free hand, he brushed the loss hairs out of her face. "Go back to sleep, beautiful. I have something special planned for tomorrow."
She arched a brow, "What do you have in mind?"
He simply laughed and placed a light kiss on the tip of her nose. "Sleep, love." He nuzzled against her forging sleep until he was sure she was back in dreamland where she belonged. He carefully pulled his arm out from under her and kissed the top of her head before retrieving the tablet and heading downstairs.
Xavier tossed the tablet onto his desk as he selected his brother's number from among his contacts. He leaned against the desk, drumming his fingers impatiently atop the desk as he waited for Dante to pick up.
[Fucking finally! What the hell took you so long. You have your guy send me a fucking address with no explanation?!] Dante roared into the phone as soon as he picked up.
Xavier rolled his eyes. "It's the address to a Gen who is very close friends with your missing bitch." Xavier ground his teeth in anger as he continued, "You may have taken a minute to figure these things out before you got involved with her."
[Me? Get involved?! Look who's talking. I bet YOUR whore is in your bed as we speak.] Dante yelled back.
Xavier's anger rose, "If you ever say anything like that again I will personally rip your throat out! You and these pups will not fuck this up for me, do you understand!"
[Of course, brother, please tell me what I can do for you to make your life better?] Dante barked back sarcastically. 
Xavier walked around the desk and flopped down into the chair. "Since you asked, you can clean up your fucking mess." He pulsed for a second to listen for any sign that Joslyn may be awake but when the house beyond the doors remained quiet, he continued. "I don't care what you have to do, but you will track down the girl and fix this. That address is to the apartment the Gen was living in. I want you to check it out, find out what you can from the roommate. Play nice I don't need any of this getting back to Joslyn. THEN FIND HER!"
[If the guy is a Gen then they could be anywhere in the world right now, how is talking to the roommate going to help?] Dante asked, the wheels in his brain finally beginning to work through what it meant having a Gen involved.
Xavier thought for a minute, "If he is close enough to her to have been the one to help her, then chances are he was at the party. Tell the roommate that the Gen…" Xavier scrolled through the information his tech guy had sent over earlier. "Bhamra, Reyansh aka 'Rin'. Tell the roommate that Rin won the auction for a brand-new board and lessons. That you are there to congratulate him and set up the lessons. Ask as many relevant questions as you can then find a way to search the apartment. My guys have found an address in India as well, but my guess is a Gen wouldn't want to go back to a master once they've been released." Xavier fired up the desktop in front of him. He entered the address in India into the search bar. He scanned through the information posted.
[Is that all?] Dante said boredom weighing heavy in his words. [A simpler answer to this who problem would be torture the roommate until he tells me what I want to know, then simply kill him afterward. It would be much easier to search the apartment.] Dante replied.
Xavier continued reading through the articles, "No, I told you, I don't want this getting back to Joslyn… Ha…" He yelled before eagerly reading the information from the screen. "Our little genie my very well be back in his 'lamp'. It says here the late lord of that palace passed several years back leaving everything to his servants along with the rights to his name along with his fortune 'Bhamra'. Talk about a 'rags to riches' story, this one must take the cake." Xavier continued reading through the article when a picture farther down caught his attention. "What's this?" He asked out loud.
[How would I know, am I there with you now?] Dante said sarcasm oozing from the phone as he spoke. [If there's nothing else I'll be getting off and going to fetch, like a good dog… I only have a few hours left before the sun is up.]
"Yes, ok… that's fine…" He hung up and sat the phone down, unable to take his eyes off the screen. Unable to believe what he was looking at he blew up the image. He sat back in the chair amazement and bewilderment battling for prevalence among his emotions. "It can't be…" He quickly screenshot the photo and sent it to his tech guy with a quick list of instructions. After he pressed send, he quickly deleted his search history on both his computer and his tablet and shut the desktop down. He typed out another text to his secretary instructing him to clear his schedule for the next two weeks.



"In a world of vampires, werewolves, fairies, and who knows what other creatures; what could be scarier? Well for Joslyn Decker love is… 
After a sudden confession from the now 18-year-old boy Joslyn has been living with and helping care for over the past 15 years, her emotions and comfortable way of life gets turned upside down. When her best friend (and the boy's guardian) suggests that Joslyn start dating again things really get heated.
Will she give in to the forbidden love with her barely legal roommate or will she turn to the mysteriously wealthy new comer?
How far is too far when it's a strange love?

What are you waiting for, jump on in… the water’s nice."

"Jess, you did that on purpose, didn't you?" I asked as I shut the bedroom door behind me.
Jess turned to look at me, her pajamas in hand.
Ah, I see she came prepared.
She said, "Oh shit! I've upset you, haven't I? I'm so sorry, Haru. I didn't mean to do that. I honestly didn't. If you don't like it, I'll take a taxi home."
I came to sit on the bed and then sighed. "No, it's not that. I mean… Shit… I have to share a bed with Aiden."
Which I hadn't done for a long time.
Jess offered meekly, "I can always sleep on the floor."
"Don't be silly. You sleep here on my bed where it's comfortable. Just don't complain about the smell though."
She chuckled, looking relieved. "I won't. Besides, you don't smell. I know you're clean."
"Why don't you get changed? The bathroom is free."
She nodded and then headed out the door, her pajamas and toothbrush and paste in hand.
Alone, I collapsed on the bed and gave out a big sigh.
Shit! I had to share a bed with Aiden tonight, and the thought made my heart race in both dread and excitement. How should I behave?
Normal. I should act like this is natural.
When Jess returned, now in her sleepwear, she asked, "Are you sure it's okay for me to take your bed?"
I nodded. "It's fine." I headed over to my drawers, took out my sleepwear. "Good night, Jess," I said at the door.
She gave me a bright grin, a BL manga in hand. "Good night, Haru. Have a splendid time sharing a bed with your beloved Aiden."
I chuckled. Jess just couldn't miss a chance to egg me on.
I headed out the door and left her to it. I didn't have any doubt she'd be reading until two or three in the morning since she didn't have class until the afternoon.
Across the hallway, I saw Reo seeing his friends David and Evan off at the front door, meanwhile from the dining room, I heard Mason, Lucas, and Carter talking. Across from my room, I heard Isaac discuss with his friends who was going to sleep where, since his room was small. I doubted all four would fit, even if some of them had to sleep on the futons we had as spares.
I was just getting into the bathroom when I heard footsteps coming out of Isaac's room and then Isaac's voice said, "Noah, can Ryan sleep in your room? We can't fit everyone in mine."
Noah snapped back, "Don't be ridiculous. You guys want to stay you guys make it work."
Reo said, "Noah, don't be such an ass."
I couldn't help but smile. I didn't have any doubt Noah'd give in soon enough. Despite how it looked, Noah had a soft spot for Isaac's friends, especially Ryan.
I heard a big sigh. Then, "Fine!"
"Awesome! Thanks, bro," Isaac said.
After shutting the bathroom door, I started brushing my teeth very thoroughly. I didn't want my breath to stink when sharing a bed with Aiden. Once I was satisfied, I stripped naked and then headed into the shower.
I took my time washing my hair and cleansing my body with shower gel until my skin looked like it could sparkle. After all, I didn't want to smell disgusting when sharing a bed with Aiden. Once dressed, I headed out, and after putting my clothes in the laundry, I was walking along the hallway when I stopped short, feeling a little lost.
I didn't want to go back into my room since I didn't want to disturb Jess reading, and I also didn't want to go into Aiden's room, either. At least not yet. He might be in there. It'd feel weird, since I hadn't been in there for ages.
I was loitering in the hallway when Aiden appeared and called out my name. I jumped in my spot, my heart racing.
"What are you doing standing there? I've changed the sheets and made the bed. Go to sleep. You're tired, aren't you?"
I nodded. "Thanks, Aiden," I said, and hastily walked past him into his room.
After shutting the door behind me with a firm click, I looked around, noticing the large bed, the drawers, and study desk. Everything in his room was clean, neat, and tidy. Aiden was a minimalist.
I heard the door open and then Aiden's voice came from behind me, "What are you waiting for?"
I jolted again. Shit! He had better stop doing that. It was just not good for my heart.
I said, "Nothing," and then climbed onto the bed and got myself in between the sheets, which felt soft and smelled fresh. I noticed he did just change the sheets and duvet cover as he had said. Just because I was sharing a bed with him tonight?
I said, "Good night, Aiden."
"Good night, Haru," he replied, and then switched off the room's main light.
With only the bedside lamp on, the place gave off a soft glow, exuding a sense of warmth and coziness, and instantly, I felt at ease and relaxed. The feeling reminded me of when I had been small, when I was sharing a bed with Aiden. It was nostalgic and my heart ached at the thought.
I heard Aiden opening and closing drawers, and a moment later, he shut the door. I suspected he was heading for the shower.
Alone, I turned over and lay flat on my back, spreading my arms and legs out across the bed.
This was Aiden's new bed he had purchased last year. I had wanted to try it out, since it was supposed to be really soft, but I had never had the chance until now.
I rolled over to Aiden's side and buried my face against his pillow. Aiden's scent lingered about my nostrils, and I groaned out softly. I love his smell.
I stayed on that side of the bed, thinking about Aiden as I dozed off. When next I opened my eyes, I felt a warm, hard body against me, holding me tight in a pair of strong arms.
Under the dimness of the glowing bedside lamp, my gaze came into focus on a pale shirt, and I realized that I was in Aiden's arms. I suddenly felt hot and my heart started racing.
I eased back as my gaze came to rest on Aiden's sleeping face. He looked peaceful in his sleep, and I must admit I missed seeing him like this.

Eighteen-year-old Haru Ono has been in love with Aiden Davis since he was in middle school. Trying to keep his feelings under wraps is annoyingly hard when they’re living under the same roof, more so since Aiden is so caring and selflessly showers him with kindness.

Haru knows family is important to Aiden, who has been shouldering the burden of raising five younger siblings, and it’s best Haru never reveals his feelings to Aiden. Then again, an eighteen-year-old boy with raging hormones can only bottle up so much until everything starts to burst.
