The Urban Dao Child. Chapter 24

Yang Dao reached home and the first thing he did was to take a shower. He put his clothes in the laundry basket. Then he entered the kitchen and his phone rang.
Tring Tring...
Yang Dao used the default ringtone because to him the phone was just a means of communication. Though with his savings it was not a big thing to buy a high-end smartphone. Yang Dao pressed the accept button and the call connected. Feng Yun spoke, "Hello, Young Master."
Yang Dao replied, "Hello, Sister Yun." his tone was calm. He pressed the speaker button on the keypad and placed the phone on the counter. Then he turned to open the fridge, fished out some ingredients then picked up a chef knife from the wooden storage block as he continued to speak, "Sister Yun, are you done with your office for the day?"
Feng Yun seemed to have heard all the noise. She replied, "Yes, Young Master, just left the office. Also, I seem to hear some noises from your side. What are you doing?" the curiosity could not be hidden.
Yang Dao replied, "Cooking the meal, Sister Yun." he replied with a faint smile on his face.
Feng Yun spoke, "Oh, that means I missed some tasty food."
Yang Dao chuckled and spoke, "What tasty food? It is all going to be boiled and seasoned. Though, I will call the staff of the society to see if I can get some fresh fish and then fillet them into sashimi or sushi."
Feng Yun replied, "Ohhh." she had not yet finished speaking when Yang Dao spoke up, "Sister Yun, the range of my wind sense improved by 10 meters while I was riding on the bike today. The total circumference is now 70 meters."
Feng Yun had expected this to happen and replied, "Congratulations, Young Master."

Yang Dao faintly smiled and while chopping the vegetables, he then began to explain to her how he came across the cycling team, then how he raced with the team captain. In the end, he spoke, "So, at Captain Thomas' invitation, I joined the cycling team. Also, I will not use this bike again Sister Yun. Why did you spend so much money? And I did not even know about the value. When I asked if my bike was different from other bikes the whole team was looking at me like a lunatic. The captain was held back by the team or he would have smashed my nose crooked."
Feng Yun couldn't help but laugh at this. Her bell-like laughter did not make Yang Dao angry or irritated but it made him feel a little closer to Feng Yun. When he was in the orphanage, he did have friends but a faint barrier still existed in between them. He always focused on his studies and never had the time to mingle with people. Though he did love the people there for the care and warmth they showered on him. He wanted to become a man who can support the orphanage when he grew up.
Feng Yun calmed down after a bit and said, "Young Master, I will arrange for a bike for you."
Yang Dao spoke, "No need, the club have spares so I will use them. Why waste so much money on a bike. I will use this one to complete long journeys. It is very comfortable to ride on this bike as if you are riding the wind." in his voice a feeling of yearning was obvious. Ever since Feng Yun walked in the sky, he wanted to fly as well.
The two people continued to chat while simultaneously discussing the daily stuff. Yang Dao also called the housekeeping staff to send him some fish. The boy skillfully fillet the fish and cooked a good protein-rich meal for himself.

...
In a high-end Villa area, lower than sapphire lake view residency, 20 people sat around a round-table. This villa was owned by Mikhail. At this moment he was sitting down in the chair with golden trims. The people around him were all known as the upper echelon of the rich club. Mikhail called them all for a meeting urgently with a warning to have them thrown out of the club if they are not present.
Mikhail spoke, "These past two days, our club members encountered a person. This person had no background, no financial worth, and no social standing. Yet the moment he appeared in the jade city he cleared up Tyson Carlos and his father. Even took over the paradise hotel chain. Do you know why he was able to do this?"
One guy with blonde hair spoke, "Is it not because of that Phoenix group owner?"
Mikhail shook his head and tapped on the table. He spoke in a solemn voice, "It is because of the arrogance we rich have. If not for Tyson Carlos to think that he as a rich fresher should get the introductory speech would this national topper clean him up? You all, I have some questions I hope you all can put aside your Young Master attitude for a little bit and then answer from a neutral point of view."
The Young Masters found it a bit odd and they all agreed. Mikhail asked, "Tell me if we had no background and other stuff to be called Young Masters and just a normal pedestrian. Would we still be so arrogant?"
The rest of the people did not even think for a second and collectively said, "No"
Mikhail nodded and asked, "Suppose, we the rich guys have so much arrogance while almost 75% among us cannot even pass the college entrance exam. How much arrogance should a pedestrian who topped in the whole country have?"
The room echoed with sighs. These sighs came from those who failed the exam. At this moment they really felt inferior. Mikhail spoke again, "If you don't catch the flying arrow and shove it up to your ass, will it distract from its usual path?"
This statement made some people instinctively tighten up their butts. Mikhail spoke, "The level of the rich is falling. We need to make people look up to us and not look down. If eyes could kill then we all would have been massacred over a thousand times by now. You tell me, do you wish to continue this? If yes, then I will draw a clear line with that person because I don't want to be looked down on by people."
The members around the table did not expect Mikhail to speak so bluntly. They all combined were not capable to match Mikhail, and hundreds of Mikhail could not catch up to Feng Yun. So They all fell into thought and decided to try and mend themselves. The meeting came to an end with some rules inside the rich club. It can only be said that these rules made a lot of guys upset.
Mikhail even set up a separate group to monitor that everyone follows the rules down to the words. The upper echelon of the club agreed to his proposal, despite being rich and arrogant they were not narrow-minded. Otherwise, how were they to be called the high table members? This chain reaction was very quick and before midnight the rules were already circulated in the group. Everyone will have to follow them or the high table will act against their whole family in case of voilation.

The Limits of Limitless
Author's Note: So, new author here, nice to meet you from this lovely one sided conversation lol. I was so tired of waiting for the perfect story for me so I decided to write a few of my own. These are basically just to make me happy, but if you enjoy them too that would make me happy as well lol. ______________________________________________________________________________________ So once upon a time, there was a convienent, and slightly cliche, plot device used by a somewhat lazy author.... Which in turn, created an easily made story of how a lucky high schooler posing as a hardcore gamer dies only to resurrect in a fantasy reality, meeting beautiful women, powerful dragons and ancient beings, an assortment of insanely escentric fellows, and a certain over powered ring. Journey with them as they explore the wilderness of twisted imagination. Or for you old timey folk who like their synopsis a bit tame, here you go: Jason, a senor in highschool, is slowly failing school due to not giving a fuck. Like many people now in the year 3056, he is obsessed with the wonderful invention most lovingly called, 'True Virtual Realities'. now by using his obsession with his favorite Virtual Reality game called 'Reality Controlled', which is the first and so called best Virtual Reality ever made. it was basically the all around escape humanity wished for, and he with heaven defying luck came across one of the three cheat items the game developers left for themselves: The Limitless Ring. The ring was a support type item and had the ability to grant wishes, store worlds, clone items, grant skills and easily learn abilities. But those are just a few of the things it could do. Using the ring he successfully became the "best player" and had a herd of fans following him everywhere. It was a dream come true. Until, he was killed from a power surge that fried his brain which was hooked up to the Nerve Capsule, an unsafe prototype of the Dive gear that he bought do to low funds. The end. Or so you would think.... ______________________________________________________________________________________ Author's Note: I was, to be honest, wanting to do a collab, because to me it is sooooooo incredibly boring to write by yourself since you always know what happens next, however no one enjoys a bit of friendly cooperation *sigh* so I'm forced to journey these roads alone.... 'Tis but a sad fate tha' 'is here young'un has t' bear. The cover isn't mine, all rights and stuff goes to its artist and such.

Duality of a Soul
In the land of magic and demons, knights and forgotten ancient technologies. What would you do if you were to wake up one day amidst all of this without your memories? Will you do everything you can to get them back to be who you were, or leave the past behind and begin anew? Follow along with our main character as he struggles to establish his new identity while the shadows of his past threaten to consume him. To be a detested hero or celebrated villain? Only time will tell. Author’s Note: Heavily influenced by fantasy goodness far and wide, I hope to make it somewhat original with a sense of familiarity to you. The overall story is pieced together through the perspective of the characters presented, first + third person narrative styles because I enjoy reading novels with similar storytelling. Please feel free to provide any comments and constructive criticisms for me because I love to read what you think so I can continue to improve on my imperfections and make the story better. Cheers!
