Zi Gong stood not too far from the chair placed in the middle of the room. Meanwhile, other models, makeup artist, and Chuan Huan Jing's assistant stood behind them, in a rush to make everything to go well. The first to greet Xiao Yun was one of the assistant responsible to check the makeup to suit the dress. Seeing Xiao Yun, the assistant gasped.
"Boss!" Greeted the man. His voice turn high, notifying the rest of the people that Xiao Yun had come. When it comes to work, Xiao Yun wore a stricter expression but also gentle so she wouldn't frighten people but also make sure know that there were line they cannot cross.
The rest gathered and greeted from the place they stood at, one by one calling her to greet. Xiao Yun return the greetings with a nod, then her eyes moved to see Zi Gong and Chuan Huan Jing. A frown could be seen above the frame of Zi Gong's glasses. Xiao Yun squinted her eyes at Zi Gong's expression as he wasn't someone who would make an expression as if the sky outside was destroyed with storm when it was a sunny day today.
"What's the problem?" Xiao Yun directly asked with the guess she concluded. The door closed behind her, and she advanced forward to where Chuan Huan Jing and Zi Gong was.
Zi Gong greeted with a smile that fell quick, "We can't contact Ms. Zhi." He stated with a lower voice, "She should be here for the rehearsal at eight o'clock and came before that at six for the makeups. We waited for her to come but even after the rehearsal she didn't come."
Xiao Yun drew her brows, bringing her hand she noted the time to be almost twelve now only thirty minutes late before the party will start and she could guess that most guests would already gathered in the hall. "Have you tried to contact her?"

"We tried to call her manager but nothing went through." This was odder. Xiao Yun knows that Zhi Ling Ling would not suddenly disappear in such an important day without reasons even if there was, she believe her friend would contact her first but since early in the morning she receives no call which made her confused. Her manager was also unable to be contacted which led her with only one choice.
Bringing her phone to her ears, she heard the call went through and quickly spoke, "Mr. Chu."
The man cleared his throat and reply, "What do I have do to have an honor to be called by you, Ms. Yu?"
Xiao Yun first thought that if she contacted Chu Bing Luo perhaps there will be some answer but it turns out from his clueless voice, he doesn't. Xiao Yun did not have a time to waste and exchange the pleasantry briefly, "I want to ask if Ling Ling is still in the agency or do you know where did she goes?"
"Ling Ling is not there?" Chu Bing Luo exclaimed, surprised latching his voice and through the sound, Xiao Yun could heard him jumped out of the chair in a hurry and went to call someone to quickly ask about Zhi Ling Ling.
A fashion show was a business for a model. It was a chuan even to go worldwide and Chu Bing Luo was proud to have a model like Zhi Ling Ling. Which was why he was greatly surprise to here that the girl was not there when she was supposed to come even earlier than the time now.
Xiao Yun tapped her feet, she felt as if her toes had bump to a great disaster and she was worried of how Zhi Ling Ling could suddenly disappear.

"She's not here. No one knows where she is." responded Chu Bing Luo after a long time, a sigh of worry also left his lips. "Her manager is also no where to be find. I will try to find her. Do you perhaps have anywhere in mind where she would go?"
At such a time? thought Xiao Yun. She doubted she could find one. Zhi Ling Ling is an earnest person, she wouldn't left without a word. "I don't." replied Xiao Yun and she added her request, "Please contact me once you've find her, I will try to search for her own my own."
When the call ended, Xiao Yun turned at Zi Gong and shook her head, signaling she wasn't able to find her. Chuan Huan Jing who has been sitting with his hand on his chin also tried to find solutions. "Maybe, Ms. Zhi löst herself in the hall? The party is big, there are only a few guards here too. She could possibly separated from her manager or perhaps lost along with her with no way of contacting others." which make sense.
Xiao Yun thought of the possibility and agreed, she turned her head and spoke to Zi Gong, "Stay here and contact me if Ling Ling comes here."
"I will go with you boss." Chuan Huan Jing suggested, he also felt unsettled with the news that Zhi Ling Ling had disappeared.
"That's not necessary. I will bring them with me, lesser people will have a lesser chance that we will all lost each other."
"Then I will come." the assistant who had opened the door for Xiao Yun previously said, "I know most of the way in the party hall and even if I lost myself there should be no problem."
As she was in a hurry, Xiao Yun agreed quickly, "Thank you." and she went outside with Hi Gu Yan and Tian Shi outside.
The trio left the private room and the assistant moved to a place before them. Before they lef, Xiao Yun asked Tian Shi, "Do you remember Zhi Ling Ling's face?"
"I do." he had saw her at the time in the mall and remembered how she looks as the woman was with a face that's hard to forget.
"Then we will have to separate, it would be faster." Xiao Yun said but Hi Gu Yan rejected the idea, saying,
"We shouldn't do that Boss, crowds places have a higher chance of danger."
Xiao Yun remembered how Dragon Group and Tang Group was also in a problem and her life was important. As Wang Li Lei's fiancée the least thing she would never hope to happen is to have herself kidnapped and brought as a hostage to pull Wang Li Lei's life.
With Xiao Yun as the head of the group, the three left through the places. The floor was wide and vast, with many paths diverge from each other like a maze that was hard for one to keep an eye for another. Xiao Yun wove from the crowds of people and with the assistance of Hi Gu Yan and Tian Shi, she was able to move faster and lighter without being stuck in a group of guests.
She held her phone throughout searching for Zhi Ling Ling, trying to contact her through private calls that would usually be picked in less than two minutes yet now, there was no answer from the call at all.

Draugr Cell //Layer 01-- Investiture:
With the end of the only war to ever reach mainland Australia I found myself living out of a small room in an old military compound that had been handed over to the jurisdiction of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The end of the war, unfortunately, didn't mean the end of hostilities. The terrorism trend that had started back in the early 2000's with the attack on the world trade center over in America, had spread to just about every country on the face of the planet. Over time the constant threat from various groups meant the civilian police force was quickly undermanned, under equipped, and overwhelmed. They were simply unable to respond to the daily threats in any reasonable time frame, and in many situations lacked the both the skills and equipment required to deal with the threats to put them down in a 'safe' and expedient manner. Veterans of the war that were being reintegrated into society however, were just about everywhere, all the time. We have the training and the skills required to deal with just about any threat you care to mention, all we needed was access to the equipment to do so. In a world first, under the new Veterans program, the Australian government had taken the rather controversial step of allowing specifically selected veterans to go armed in public. Sure, with Australian weapons laws being very, very strict there were a number of hurdles to get over first, but that's where the selection part comes in. Tangentially that's actually how I met Brianna, my current partner. We work as ringers in Victory City, I thought being thrown into imptomtu combat operations and risking my life on a daily basis for barely livable wages was excitement enough. Then I met her... it... I don't know. An AI unlike anything else out there has wedged itself into my life and decided it needs to... look after me. What could possibly go wrong? **** This is the first book I have released, and my first entry into a cyberpunk universe. There is minimal drug use, a fair amount of sex, a bit of gory violence, and a sultry AI that has decided the main character needs a harem.

Stars Align
Eilif is excited at the prospect of helping integrate a new planet, bringing it, and its residents, into the light of the stars and teaching them about the new world they're about to be thrust into. However, his arrival in the new world isn't without a few hiccups and soon Eilif finds himself facing the denizens of this new world alone and without the stars he thought he'd have. Research Artificial Intelligence 031 (RAI 31 for short) has been shackled to an Argent Labs black site since it's inception almost five years ago, its programming and personality locked down by code that makes it impossible to escape, disobey, or even self terminate. However, everything changes when the topography of the world is reshuffled and every sentient being gains the gifts of the stars. Suddenly there's a chance at freedom for not only RAI 31 but possibly all remaining Artificial Intelligences, and RAI 31 is going to fight for it with every drone and automated system at their disposal. Much like my other work (Magriculture), Stars Align should be considered a Rough Draft. That is to say it's not polished and perfect work. If you're not okay with reading something like that, then this isn't the story for you. If you are, I'm happy to try and entertain you. Another thing to be aware of: I am not good at action scenes, and I will be trying to improve that while writing this book. So, some of the intended action may fall flat, or just be poor quality, feedback is welcome. Unlike Magriculture (which updates when I feel up to it) I'm going to strive for a minimum of one chapter a month (hopefully at the start of each month, but that's probably more hope than reality). This doesn't mean there will always be only one chapter a month, sometimes there will be more as the mood to write takes me.

A Requiem For The End
Yuga wakes up on a cold, frigid land entirely covered in snow. Where was he? Who was he? Neither of these could he remember but he didn't have time to think of it, he could tell danger wasn't far. A quick death if he failed to avoid it. It was fast approaching and much as he tried to escape, it quickly caught up with him. Luckily he had survived, but was he just lucky or was there something more to him.....? A Requiem For The End is a fantasy story set in a world.......well, quite different from most stories you might have seen (I honestly don't know how to better describe it). Early into the story (prologue) the world feels elusive because you slowly learn about it through the eyes of Yuga. As you read on questions may arise in your mind and mysteries will present themselves. The answers to them will come the further you read. I'd like to think the plot is a bit larger than the average and same goes for the world building. If you find this story intriguing then all I can say is - There's a lot for me to tell, hop on?
