...
The next morning Yang Dao woke up and changed into a set of sports shirts and boxers. He put on his running shoes and was ready to go out for a run. He saw that the two leopards were gazing at him with twinkling eyes. He said, "Well, okay, but do not be naughty when you go out."
The leopards nodded humanely. Yang Dao could understand their emotions when they were just normal beasts. He said, "Sushi, wake up. You are the nanny."
Sushi was meditating in his hair. She woke up by his call. She said, "Master, why am I the nanny?"
Yang Dao said, "Because you are older than the two of them. Also, did you name them?"
The little sylph flew around his head and said, "They have names. Their mother gave them one in their own language. The boy is white so she called him Luster, the girl is black so she called her Shadow."
Yang Dao glanced at the two beasts and nodded. He said, "I wonder how the people will react to them." with that said he did not waste any time and came out of the house. Lisa was at this moment busy preparing breakfast for him. The beasts now absorbed the source of energy as their food and they did not like normal food. Just as much as a human meal was enough to sate their taste buds.
One human, two-spirit beasts, and one elemental spirit boarded the elevator and came down to the lobby on the ground floor. The residency had around-the-clock staff. Right now, the people on the night shift were still on duty.
They saw the elevator stopping at their level and all became alert. After all, the residents in the building were rich and powerful. The door opened and they were shocked to see Yang Dao walking out with two big leopards following on both his sides.

The people sucked in cold breaths but Yang Dao said, "Calm down, they are not wild."
The staff was stunned when they thought about the implementations in the simple sentence he just used. The beasts were not wild, did that not mean, Yang Dao was keeping leopards as his pets and that too, such unique-looking ones.
Yang Dao said, "Luster, Shadow, greet everyone."
The two leopards nodded like a human and gazed at the four people in the lobby. They nodded to them as well and Yang Dao took them out for a run around the society, leaving the people in shock. They did not expect the beasts to be so intelligent and well-behaved. The girl behind the reception table said, "Young Master is a proper tycoon. How can he take in usual dogs as his pets? Look at those elegant beasts, how they are so tamed around Young Master. The charm of an idol."
If not for the reason that she was a human and not an anime figure, her eyes would have turned to stars like a little fan girl.
...
Yang Dao ran around the society parameter and he was spotted by a few people. The people were shocked but after they recovered, they only had some sweat on their backs and surprise in their eyes as they saw a human running ahead with two leopards on his sides and the speed was comparable to a national level athlete.
...
A little boy and girl were walking with an old man chattering endlessly. The old man also had a smile on his face. You can tell that he loved these two little ones. Suddenly the two kids exclaimed together.
"Such pretty cats." their eyes were twinkling.
Yang Dao had run around for an hour and he was now resting at the side of the garden. The two leopards were sitting on either of his sides. The kids were not too old just three or four years old. So they could not differentiate between cats and leopards. But the old man, how could he not know that the two beasts were predators.

He wanted to stop his grandchildren but the two kids were already out of his reach. He said, "Tim, Kim, stop." his heart was almost out of his mouth.
Yang Dao heard the voice and saw two kids running over. They came to stop, five-meter away from him. He crouched down and said, "Hello."
The two replied, "Hello."
The old man had caught up at this moment and came to stand in front of them. He was panting as he almost sprinted for a few steps. The old man asked, "Young man, these two beasts are dangerous."
Yang Dao expected this reaction and smiled. He calmly spoke, "Sir, these two leopards were rescued by me when they were just a couple of weeks old. They grew up in contact with humans and are completely harmless. Until someone hurts them they do not attack."
He said, "Luster, Shadow, greet the old sir."
The two beasts sat down on their hind legs and bowed slightly to the old man. Actually, they were dancing to the wind whip in Sushi's hands. She had warned them earlier. The warning sounded like, "You two overgrown kittens, if the master was embarrassed because of you I will make you lose a layer of your fur and make coats out of it."
Back to the current scene, the old man stood in a daze. Tim and Kim peeked out from behind his legs and the boy asked, "Big brother, can we pet them?"
Yang Dao said, "Yes if your grandpa allows you to."
The two kids looked at the old man with big puppy eyes. The old man hesitated and finally succumbed to the lethal weapon. He said, "Okay, but be careful."
His heart was not at ease. The two kids walked over behind him and came close to the two beasts. They had no fear in their hearts. Yang Dao gazed at Sushi, who swung the whip in the void and said, "Lean over, let them touch you."
The two leopards gave in to their fates and leaned over, the kids smiled, the head of the kitten was finally in their reach. Two small palms petted the two big heads. It just happened that someone recorded this scene and uploaded the video on the net. The video was titled, "The Idol Man."

My World To Live
[Do Not Read this version, New FINAL version uploaded August 9th, 2021 as separate fiction, click to link here on RR. Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence. — Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction — The My World To Live (MWTL) series, the alternative short name is Canaan, is comprised of three books symbolically named My World, To Live, and My World To Live. Two years prior, the entire story had been planned and detailed out from start to finish before actual writing. Thus, the story will never be dropped. While the genre is largely Fantasy, the book is comprised of many other elements including a School Life (Magic Academy) story portion. MWTL has a lot of scattered symbolism and allusions, hence, the mystery aspect. The science fiction elements progressively become more pronounced, and the slow romance is a late bloomer. The female lead is strong and independent, and her backstory and identity unravel as drivers of the plot. Expect lots of action/fighting throughout and scattered philosophical and psychological themes arising. It's a human journey to find the essence of one's living and purpose. What kind of world do I wish to live for? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope to share the journey with you~! Canaan's Original and New Covers: If you're curious about my art and the various covers I made for this series and other authors, I have a RR thread that makes free covers and shows art processes. [October 1, 2020 Notice: Hello, I aplogize to all followers for suddenly taking an extended hiatus. Life threw a lot at my face and then the pandemic happened, so I hadn't been able to write until around the last month when I decided to challenge myself and finish the first book in this series. I am ok now, and thank you for your patience and understanding. No words can express how much every reader means to me. RR was the first writing platform that I ever felt accomplished to any small degree, so I am forever grateful to it. Multiples changes have been made since this final revision and writing of the ending, so please see the latest chapter detailing the update. This also includes my decision to submit this story to the 2020 Wattys contest (the deadline was Sept 30th). That means I will not be posting the updated version of this story on here until the contest is over (since I doubt I'll win anyway lol). And so, if you want to read the full, now completed (woohoo!) story, please go to my Wattpad. Thank you once again, and wishing you all the very best health and happiness! FINAL UPDATE, March 7, 2021: The complete story has been re-posted after the Wattys. This version that was on Wattys is the one being re-posted. However, the Final Version (which will be on a separate book from this to remain organized, and is technically the fifth version of the story xD) will be released May 2021. For more information, please read this update linked here. Thank you to all readers for taking this two year journey with me!

8 165The Everyday Life of A Pathfinder
Pathfinders are people who are respected and revered, not because of power or might, but because of knowledge of the world. They are the peacekeepers between humans and nature. Guiding humans through the most dangerous areas known to man and killing any species which attempts to throw off the balance of the natural world. This is their job - and their passion. *** Note: This story is going to have a few generic elements in it, like fantasy setting, guilds, cursing and stuff like that. A few (a lot) of things it won’t have is: Overly bloody descriptions, I don’t need to have enough buckets of gore to fill a ballroom for people to get that guy is defiantly dead; Rape, I don’t like it and it’s honestly painful writing that stuff; Harems, fuck harems; Overpowered MC, EVER; Game elements/ transported to another world, overused as shit; “I’m out for revenge”, no one cares; “My village was burned down and everyone died ;-;”, yeah you and the other 60% of the population; A lot of overly dramatic events, Drama has its time and place to be impactful, so you need to use it sparingly so when you do it’s special; “I’m going to stab you because I’m CrAZy, I believe that everyone has a reason for what they do, sometimes the reason is because they’re fucking insane, but I’m still not going to write things like that; Generic fantasy creatures, I’m tired of hearing about the fucking mystical dragons or the god damn slimes, so I’m going to create my own monster. Also feel free to roast. I don't get offended easily and it's honestly one of the best ways to increase writing abilites.
