Chapter 4: The Flight / Arrival
They were at the airport, a month having already passed, and her accomodations prepared.
“I’ll see you during vacation, Leaf. Have a good flight and let me know when you land, ok?” Charm asked.
Leaf gestured, trying to convey her agreement.
Charm had picked up on a few of Leafs gestures after a while. Leaf had taught her some of the important ones, and Charm sort of understood some other ones as well.
“Okay! Bye Leaf!!” Charm yelled, waving, as Leaf boarded the plane.
“Your seat is right here.” A lady said, guiding Leaf.
Leaf gestured.
“Certainly. And they bring refreshments during the flight. I don’t recall what they do for first class, if they do anything different in the first place, on this airline. Are there any other questions?” The lady asked.
Leaf gestured again, thanking her.
“It was my pleasure. It’s not as though I’m leaving right now, though. You don’t need to always thank me.” The lady said, smiling.
Leaf gestured, sitting in her comfortable seat.
“Oh, I think it’s going to be over 15 hours. I recommend trying to sleep.” The lady said.
Leaf listened to her, easily falling asleep with the comfortable pillow Charm had bought her.
She got up a few times when they brought drinks or food, falling back asleep afterwards.
“We’ve arrived, Mrs. Leaf.” The lady said, waking Leaf up.
Leaf nodded, grabbing the bag that Charm had packed for her.
They went to a car, and they arrived at a small apartment complex.
Leaf made a couple gestures and pointed, first to the building, then to herself.
“Yes, things like rent are all being paid for. There's no need to worry about that.” The lady said.
Leaf asked a few questions.

“I believe they will be providing you a job for you. You’ll be able to pay for other necessities like food with the money you earn from that job. That’s where, for the most part, our involvement ends. You should eventually learn how to provide for yourself, and won’t need us anymore. While we want you to have a normal life, Lady Rin doesn’t think we should hold your hand. I thought it was weird to give you a job when you just started high school, but Rin said that it’s good to put down on your resume as previous work experience. I actually agree with that. Anyway, this is the apartment. Here's the key.” The lady said.
Leaf took the key from her hand, inspecting it.
“Try not to lose it. You remember the directions to get to everywhere you need to go, right?” The lady confirmed.
Leaf nodded.
“Good. Here, this wallet is yours now. It should have all of the stuff you need in it. The envelope has around 100000 Yen in it, as well as bank account information, and all of that. I suggest saying hi to your neighbors. They’re quite nice. I think that about does it for my part in this. I’ll be leaving you now, but it was nice to meet you, Leaf. Have a good day. I’ll see you later.” The lady said, leaving.
Leaf gestured her goodbyes.
She stood outside of her apartment, the sun setting, bathing the world in an orange glow, and not a soul in sight.

My Boss Is So Arrogant
"Marry me!!"
8 1562Katra
Kardin lived a happy and good life. That is, till he was given a strange orb by an even stranger man, maybe even a demon. He watches as his village is burned, the villagers slaughtered and his friend devoured. He escapes into the Jungle of The Gods, a place of ancient ruins and deadly animals. There, he is changed and his fate diverges from what should have been his death. Now he must forge his own path in a world of great beauty and power, where death lurks around the corner and battles between veritable gods are fought. Where nations clash and ancient beings destory civilizations on whims. But unseen cogs move under the surface, events transpiring beyond simple understanding. Strange and powerful items called Artifacts have started to reappear across the land of Auren, empowering their wielders far beyond what cultivation can give. The Traezar Empire and all of Auren are on the precipice of war and strange beings have started to emerge, all with an agenda of their own. Chaos is brewing, and Kardin must survive it, all while trying to attain vengeance and understand his strange and anomalous Katra. ***Current Schedule*** I am currently releasing 1 3,000(Sometimes I end up writing waaaay more) word chapter halfs every week. If there is not some sort of notice as to why I have vanished, then I'm probably dead. Let's hope I don't die then, eh? *Ducks under flying knife* I own this cover, put my own blood, sweat and an hour of my time into it. Ahahaha! This story is inspired (I stress this word, as because most of the story is different) by Will Wight’s Cradle. I highly recommend you read it! (Please for gods sake, if you have something to say, please do it in a curteous fashion. I don’t need any more maniacs flying at me and trying to stab me with sporks, I am already insane enough to fill that role.*Winks*) **What is This Story?** Think cultivation mashed with western fantasy, put into a pot to boil and then drunk while it's pipping hot. All the while a mad man(me) cackles insanely over the pot, stirring. It draws from xianxia lightly, which means no exasperated angry young masters. No “genuis” or “prodigy” MC, one that is not OP, or anything of the like. If you don’t like cultivation novels, this might still be up your alley. MC focuses on “Life Shaping”, see poll 2 for more Info. Warning! If your are squeamish, that gore and traumatizing content tag is there for a reason. I shall dive into both bloody and disturbing scenes and the questionable ethics of manipulating life, and some of it won’t be pretty. With a dose of realism added in. I do add my own evi- I mean despic- no, sorry, interesting twists aswell. >:) Also, I HATE info dumps! *Steps out of the way of a charging semi* Still not dead! Arc 1 (Kindling): Chapter 1 - 13 Arc 2 (Metempsychosis): Chapter 14 - 29 Arc 3 (???): Chapter 30 - ??? A disclaimer, I am new author and am still feeling out my limitations. This story is my hope of bettering my writing skills and to have fun. Buckle up and enjoy the insane journey that is Katra. (Pronounced as cah-tra)

The gods play with the fates of people through their incomprehensible games. And what about you? Are you caught as well in the steely trap of destiny? Are you a pawn? Queen? Or maybe a future player? And what is the meaning of the game? What are millions of universes created and destroyed for? You will have to find out for yourself... The author himself is lost. There is no story, no leading idea. There is only the infinite bending of everything and anything in the name of the triumph of meaninglessness. The author just pours endless streams of graphomania on the mind of careless readers. Beware! Graphomurk! *** This is translation of Russian. Link to original author Avadhuta -> "http://samlib.ru/a/avadhuta/".
