6:00 am June 9th, 2189. Tsinghua University
'Well that was a great sleep, looking forward to starting the day. Oh right, and I have to get a girlfriend today. The question is should I go for a smart lady, the school beauty, or a rich lady? Well smart means they might figure out the system, which is a secret and would be bad to let out. I think I will find a random person and try my chances. I mean considering all the ladies smile, talk to and wave to me when I enter the classroom, I cannot be too bad looking. Well time to find my first girlfriend.'
Yue then got up and got ready for the day. 'Time to do my daily quest, then classes.' He thought to himself and left for the door. However just as his hand reached for the door handle, Yueliang heard one of his roommates voices, to be precise it was Sun again.
"Hold up Yueliang, I have something to tell you." Sun voiced out, as he saw Yueliang turning around while he spoke.
"What did you want to talk about Sun?" Yue smiled as he spoke curiously, because Sun and him did not talk much normally unless they were eating or something.
"Let us head out for breakfast and talk then. You have not had breakfast right?" Sun said as his stomach growled quietly.
"Alright, brother Sun, sounds good. I will pay then, so you pick."
----5 minutes later at Cafe XxXx----
"So what did you want to talk about Sun?" Yue asked as the waitress brought them fried rice and some other delicious looking dishes. After placing their drinks.
"Well, I was talking to my sister the other day and she is looking for a boyfriend right now. I figured since I know you are a good man, and are the most handsome man in school to recommend you. So I set up a date for you two, and before you say anything, do not worry she is kind, raised well, and great appearance." Sun said as the waitress was walking away. However as she heard that she had kind of a crestfallen look because she wanted to ask him out herself.
"Wait, back up. You said I am the most handsome guy in school, since when?" Yue asked completely surprised.
"You really did not notice all the women clamoring over you? Every girl wants to date you, however you are either in class or in the dorm studying. Wow you are either dense, oblivious, or really focused." Sun stated matter of factly.
Yue started thinking to himself on the conversation so far, and figured Sun was definitely right. However before he could say anything Sun spoke again.
"Anyways my sister is really excited, all I want to know is two things. 1. Are you going? 2. Will you treat her well? She is really innocent of the world, caring, and sensitive." Sun asked with a serious face.

"I will go gladly, thank you for trusting me. Also the only people I treat bad are those who treat me with hostility. Anyways, this is my first date ever do you have any pointers." Yue asked kind of curiously while being slightly embarrassed.
"Pfft, Brother are you serious never once? Ok, just be yourself, which should be easy, and compliment and flirt with her. However make sure you are either confident or shy. Never indecisive or anything else, unless heroic to protect her...." Sun continued speaking back and forth with Yue until a few minutes to class, then Yueliang paid, they left going their separate ways for classes.
----Fifteen minutes after his Classes finished----

"Wow, that felt great, and then I passed out." Yue checks his watch seeing that only 10 minutes passed. "Phew, not bad, I should check my notifications then ask Yang what happened."
"Master, the reason you passed out was due to your body adjusting to the sudden large increase in stats. However, if you continue doing such large growth spurts, you will eventually no longer pass out but even benefit from it more so than you do now. Chough hint hint chough."

'This is too amazing, however before I check all of these out I should get ready for my date tonight. However, I should try out my perception and speed abilities while I go.' He thought to himself excitedly, as this has been a wonderful and fun day for him.
He then noticed perception was actually passive and he could sense and see practically everything around him in a 1 meter radius even underground. If he focused on it, it became more active and he could see even better. Yue then thought about using sprint, and just as he took a step starting to run he moved 3 meters. Once he started running each step almost hit 4 meters in distance in the blink of an eye. He was over joyed and filled with adrenaline as he ran to the nearest suit store because rather than drone delivery things, Yueliang much preferred doing business in person more.
When he eventually arrived he walked in quickly and as they knew him as a frequent customer, sent someone to assist him. Soon after he walked out with new dress shoes and a nice new suit white shirt, blue tie with light design, and a steampunk gothic victorian tailed jacket. Of course still wearing black jeans and not suit pants. These were all pretty much the style these days, except the jeans where his personal style choice as he like something that looks dressy yet is casual enough to do what needs to be done with functionality and appearance.
After he was dressed, he went to the female dormatory with a white stretch limo. Of course cars these days no longer have wheels, they fly with gravitational propulsion, or other means. Then he was about to send the message 'Sun, could you tell your sister I am ready when she is for our date' to his roommate Sun. When all of a sudden before he could send it a beautiful lady came walking out of the dormatory in a blue wedding dress lace applique tulle court train strapless sweetheart lace-up A-line, and heels to match. Looking like an angel, everyone looked at the two as a perfect couple where as Yue's mind went blank, then only one thought crossed his mind. 'Wow, I am the most fortunate man alive, so long as her personality matches.'
Yueliang quickly, yet elegantly walked up to her, put his hand out awaiting hers as such was the custom. She elegantly placed her hand in his own, then he slowly raised it and kissed the back of her hand while admiring her beauty. However she was barely able to move let alone think because the man of her dreams was right in front of her. Him being the most romantic man on the planet.
They then walked arm in arm to the limo. The driver opened the door and Yue helped her inside then went around with the driver to get himself in.
"Milady Xue, right?" He asked to make sure he pronounced it right.
"Yes, Lord Yueliang Haizi. I am surprised you knew my name yet alone my appearance." She said happily while blushing.
"When your brother told me your name, I instantly knew. You are actually who I was planning to ask out today, however this is my first date. Thus, please forgive me if I make a blunder. Also, I am surprise a lady of such high status as yourself would go out with me." He stated confidently yet with a hint of shyness.
Xue promptly replied. "Certainly you jest, my status is still lower than yours although my family may be the top in wealth yours is the top in everything else. In addition your family still follows Noblesse Oblige which is most honorable in my mind. Also your name means moon child right?"
"Yes milady, just as yours means beautiful snow right?"
She instantly blushed and then corrected him. "It means snow, however thank you for the compliment."
They continued talking the whole time that the date ensued. They laughed and had fun, eventually he returned her to her dormatory, then himself. He was overjoyed to have had such a surprise. 'If this is a dream I never want to wake up.' He thought to himself.
"I cannot wait to check out the shop tomorrow" He said to himself quietly while getting ready for bed. However shortly after going to sleep, he was abruptly awoken with a bag over his head....

8 173My 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!
