The Urban Dao Child. Chapter 294

Yang Dao and Kiya rode their bikes side by side and the former asked the girl, "Why do you call me captivating?"
Kiya smiled and said, "If you are acting then I must say that you can act well. If you are not acting, then you are ignorant to the world of social media."
The boy became even more confused, he asked, "Why do you speak in riddles?"
Kiya chuckled and her pink hair fluttered in the wind. She said, "Ironically the Idol Man cannot anticipate my words."
Yang Dao sighed and gave up on getting anything out of her mouth. Watching him acting like this the girl said, "The reason why I called you captivating is because of a video going viral on the net."
"What video?" asked the boy.
"The video where you go out for a morning run with two oversized kittens and then two little children come over to play. You confronted an old man and made him understand that your pets were tamed. The two children played with the cats and you left. The interesting fact in this event is that the video is being shot without your knowledge." said Kiya.
Yang Dao was aware of this video and said, "I am aware of this video, Rika teased me with it and I even received a call from my orphanage and got scolded by Sister Tina for being wayward. Why do people make such a big deal out of it?"
Kiya said, "That is not the only thing, Dao. The new robot you announced and how you asked the people for possible feature configuration also cast a protagonist halo for you. The students who were recruited to the Dao Technologies also received a bonus from the earnings company made from Robo-aid sales. Would you believe that even me, your so-called secretary got the bonus?

Helping hand organization is rescuing a lot of people from despair and setting them in a new direction. What do you think is not present there to call you an Idol?" said Kiya.
She replied to his question while presenting one of her own in the end. Yang Dao had always been a low-key man in her eyes. He is not the one who would preach his good deeds to the world. She respected him but when he did not express his emotions in a situation. She felt as if she was banging her head on the wall.
Yang Dao sighed as he rode the bike. He said, "Who is an Idol? I took the two cats away from their natural habitat. To my satisfaction, I came up with ways to make people accept it. I am not the idol the people look at me like. You know that I also have a dark side. If I am on a military mission I will kill to achieve my goal.
If someone does not do things the way I want them to I feel irritated. I get the point that the people all think I am a good man, okay I accept that maybe I am good. But what is good and what is bad?
Some so many people did not want their lives to be changed with the establishment of Helping hand. They were used to living like that and were used to it. However, I forcefully changed it all, in the name of a better life. What is a better life? To some people, it might be traveling in a luxury car while to some people it would be to find shelter from wind and rain.
How do you say that I am an Idol? I am a human, just a simple human who is trying to do his best with everyone and everything."

Kiya was surprised by his burst of words. She has never seen him speak this much. However, she realized that even if he spoke so much, his tone was still calm and the bearings were peaceful. She said, "Dao, I agree that it may be painful for people to experience such a change but in the long run they will get used to it. They will bless you for the better life standard they will achieve because of your initiative."
The two kept talking and rode the bikes around the campus. They had already passed the cycling club twice but they were so engrossed in the topic that they did not even pay attention to Icarus who was following them silently. After crossing the clubhouse four times Icarus said while clearing his throat, "Ahem, Lady and Gent, can you already stop circling around the campus. It is the time for class."
His words brought back Yang Dao and Kiya from their discussion. The two people accused Icarus of not reminding them earlier. They quickly parked the bikes and rushed to the classes. On the way to the classes, the students cast gazes and smiles at Yang Dao. Icarus sighed, "Bathing in the light of the Idol is so hard, even if the women approach me now, they all ask for his number. Tell me Kiya what should I do?"
Kiya replied non-comically, "Either you grow up, or shut your mouth that is yapping all the time or you give up hope."
Icarus clenched the left side of his chest and said, "Lady, your words, sometimes they hurt me a lot."
Kiya flicked her hair and smirked, "At least you catch the intent correctly."
Yang Dao patted Icarus on the shoulder and said, "You have tried your best soldier, now you rest."
The three exchanged a glance and laughed. They came to the class and Yang Dao received a call from Mary. She said that the company will be holding a press meet, they have reached an abundant amount of stockpiling for the new NEO bot. Yang Dao asked her to select the college as the venue and get things ready.
Mary agreed and the call disconnected before the professor arrived. Yang Dao thought since he was the IDOL then his alma mater must also bathe in the light he gave off. This event of his had a dual implementation.

Suddenly, a succubus
The protagonist is a personality like an iceberg: introspective, asocial and completely uninterested in the world and its people beyond necessity. Approaching ships beware! A succubus, on the other hand, lives for desire and interaction, playing mortal hearts like a fiddle. These clearly mix like oil and water, so what do you get when you combine them? This is a story of that kind of emulsion. *** Completed with 62 chapters + epilogue (total of 111k words). *** This novel is bit of an experiment for me. I haven't written fiction before, for one. I also chose a character context that I normally wouldn't, and let the characters drive the story, especially in the beginning. Overall the main focus will be the main character's own story rather than the events of the world. The setting itself uses many familiar fantasy elements, though I plan to add my own twists. Note that I'm not really planning to write any steamy scenes, despite the said character context being literal demons of lust and all. There are of course jokes and scenes that skirt around the subject, but this is not a romance story of any kind. So, is it a mess? Probably. But I hope it's an entertaining one at that.

In this world the good guy doesn't beat the villain, in fact there isn't even good or bad.

Now some warnings; I am new to this, I don't have much experience so I'm trying to get some by writing this. So I don't stress myself out this will be a relatively short story but I don't know. Also this is sort of the beginning of my world, if this works out and I decide to write more I would love to keep it in this world. My grammar isn't perfect, if anything it's one of the things i struggle with. I don't have a release schedule, but I usualllt release as soon as i'm done with a chapter. Also I would really appreciate it if you can point out my mistakes, I can't learn if i don't know what i'm doing wrong.
