Chapter 1 – No beginning.
My body felt like if it were floating in the vast sea. My senses were dull and everything appeared in my mind was hazy, I was stuck in state between dreaming and waking up. My eyes slowly open, and widen after I see my surroundings
What is this? I laid eyes on a vast endless void, full of dark clouds that reach as far as I could see. There was nothing, no people, no animals or even plants, there was only the nothingness around me broken up by the dark clouds.
Why do I feel so numb? I tried to move my body but with no avail. Why can't I move!? What the hell is going on!!??? My mind begun to panic, endless anxiety surrounds my head. What really going on!!! Cold sweat began to swept my body, I racked my mind trying to figure out how I got here, looking for clues on how to escape, but drew a blank as I realized I couldn't remember anything before this moment.
Suddenly out of nowhere a blinding light wrap around my body then the next moment I open my eyes I see old crumbling rocks and ancient writings on the walls. I look around and I see myself in a beautiful altar, then suddenly I realize that I was naked.
“what the heck!? Why am I naked!?” scratch my head in confusion. I jump out of the altar and Upon Jumping a sharp agonizing pain suddenly burst out of my head
“URGGHHH!!!!!” I grasp my head out of pain, I scream till there is no more air in my lungs. My head was experiencing a pain as though it was holding a colossus object. I hold my head tightly, snake like golden veins began to pop in my head then after a half an hour the pain has began subsiding.
“what…what the heck was that!?” my breathing became rugged after that excruciating pain. I look around to see if there was anybody that may have cause this pain but what I saw are just old crumbling rocks.
“it seems the pain is gone...” as the pain subsided, I started to wonder as to what's going on and evaluate the situations.
“Hello, is their anybody there!!??” I shouted to see if anyone going to respond but I was only greeted by my own echoes. “I'm probably the only one here.”
From the agonizing mental fatigue, I couldn't help but sat down even though I know that the floor was cold and moist.
“How the heck did this happened?” with no memory or anything that could help me find my origin, I felt a sense of hopelessness and loneliness. My heart ached from the series of event that have conspire and as I was feeling down, I suddenly slap myself.
“Come on this is not the time to feel hopeless, you should find a way out of this place!” I stand up and begun to look around not taking any step, only moving my eyes to see my surroundings then suddenly my gaze lock to a rusty dark metal door around 20 meters away from me. the door was huge, it was around 50 meters tall.

I walk towards the gigantic metal door that seem to radiant an eerie air. I stood in front of the metal door, it seems to be decorated with many colorful ornaments but due to age the color had already faded.
“what is tha…wait I should stop asking myself, its not like there's anybody going to answer me.” My gaze lock to a particular decoration, it look like a burning giant bird, it spread its two pair of majestic wings.
Once again I approach the metal door and started to open it then suddenly a powerful energy burst out from the other side, it felt as if something is distorting, which made my head I little bit dizzy. I began to hesitate but still proceed. My eyes shank from what I was greeted, my body trembles from the horrifying sight. Cold sweat run down my face, my heart throbbed violent and I felt a terrifying despair. I felt as though I was about to fall but thankfully I manage to maintain my balance.
Hundred of human bones was inside this gigantic room, the bones vary from sizes and many seems to be women and children base from there clothing which was glossy cloth that wrap around there body.
While I was taking aback from this disturbing scene, I still continue to walk and begun to look around, seeing this scene made my head dizzy. I ask myself how they ended up in this pitiful states. I stop in front of a man’s corpse and put my hands together, bowing my head in the process.
“Forgive me for what am about to do.”
I started to strips the mans clothing, the clothing didn't seems to decay even after so long. Even though I lost my memory, I did not forget my instinct which kept telling me that my action was disrespectful. I did not stop and proceeded to wear them, they seems to perfectly fit. After I finish, I once again look at the corpse and put my palm together.
“Forgive me for taking your clothing…May your soul forever rest and I vow that someday I will return and bury your corpses.” My gaze wonder around looking at every bone, I couldn't help but make a grieving Expression. I felt an intense guilt weighing me down, I couldn't bury them all for I am alone but I swear I'll return.
This people might had taking shelter here and was probably planning to escaped, after whatever is going on outside but they ended up trap here, dying of starvation and most likely fought each other for food. Base from the decaying bones they have probably been trap here for a hundreds or thousands of years.
“All of you may rest easy now because I vow to bury all of you once I escape.”
I scout around to see if there is anything useful and after half an hour of searching, the only thing got was a rusty dark blade that seems to be sharper compare to the other blade that I found and a torch-like-object, the torch is a metal like rod and in the end of the rod is a stone that light up the place.

Once again I pursue my goal of escaping. I look around and saw a normal metal door, upon opening it I was greeted with a dark tunnel, this place seems to be deep underground.
“Damn I couldn't see a damn thing but luckily I have this thing.” Glancing to the metal torch that gave light to the place. Before I began to walk, I gave a glance back at the bones. I promise, I will not disappoint you.
A deafening silence echoes around the dark tunnel, every steps I take it cancel the silent of the cave.
As I walk, I began to organizing my thought. First, I to forgot who I am yet my body remember my habits from who I was. Second, I wake up without any clothing or anything that may help me know my origin. third, after I get out of here I should find civilizations and gather information.
I do not know how long I was walking around but I felt like I been walking for about week or so, yet I never felt hungry? As I was lost in thought, I accidentally push a button that open a hidden room.
The path of the hidden room seem much cleaner than that of the place I was few days ago. As I walk toward the end of the path, I felt that the air seem to get warmer for some reason.
This place is probably important to be hidden so well. As I walk, I face many traps and tunnels that lead into a dead end. After an hour of walking and dodging from the traps, I finally came to huge circular room with many pillar decorating it and in the middle of it is a metal pillar with many mysterious symbol.
As I walk around, I saw that around eight pillar circulate a center pillar. I stop walking and observe the mysterious symbol on the metal pillar. It was so captivating and I couldn't help but stare at this mysterious symbol.
What are this? The mysterious symbol in the wall of the pillar seems to radiate majestic air around it. As I stare my mind began to feel relax and calm, my mental and physical fatigue was almost gone.
I walk towards one of this mysterious symbol and ponder, this things seems to have help ease up my mind. There's something about this thing as though it's speaking to me. As I was lost in thought, I unconsciously touch this mysterious symbol, then suddenly a fluctuations of energy burst out of it.
*whoosh*
Another excruciating pain spread out, not only in my mind but my whole body. I drop down in my knees and scream in agony, every muscle fiber are being torn apart and reconnected, a surge of energy spread out around me as if a cocoon of a butterfly. A golden vein began to appear in my skin as if it were a tattoo.
I sat down cross legged and concentrate, gritting my teeth in the process. Even though my mind was in disarray I still tried to compose myself.
As I close my eyes and concrete the pain seems to slowly subsided. I don't know why but I get feeling that I could manipulate this energy. After thinking a few things I began to try and control the raging energy that surging around me.
My eyes was close yet I could see a broken pieces of shards floating around in this dark abyss. My eyes widen to what happening but my shock was cut short after the raging energy suddenly enter this dark place and coiled around at the broken shards.
Ah, it seems this broken shards could help me with this crazy energy. As I try to manipulate this energy it began to make a cyclone of energy, picking up the broken shards in the process, then suddenly I tried compressing it together, A loud explosion echoed through out the hidden room. The whole place was trembling as it create an earthquake.
*cracking*
A loud crack echoed as every bone in my body reconnected. My body seems to have change and became much solid and been refined, my broken bones seem to have reconnected and the pain have disappeared.
The broken shard seems to have form into a mix of dark and white orb like object that float in this dark void, it float as though everything is mere ant. It seems this orb have save me. As I open my eyes I could see that a small crater about the radius of 20 feet have appeared.
“Woah, my body seem so light and I feel like I could crush small boulder! I feel so refresh!” as I was testing my body if there's anything wrong, just to find out that my body have change drastically.
“well whatever happened earlier was blessing in disguise!” I am pleased to what happened, even if I had to experienced a excruciating pain the pay off was worth it.
As I tried to jump to see how is conditions of my body is, then suddenly from a small jump a gush of wind suddenly burst out and I was shot out 10 feet off the ground, Oh my god, good things this place is huge or I would probably hit the ceiling.
As I descend, I sense something about to happened, seems like this is not the end. Another energy burst out of the metal pillar and I couldn't help but grin.

Godfather Of Champions
This is a story about the pursuit of victory.— «I subscribe only to the theory of victory. I only pursue victory. As long as I am able to obtain victory, I don’t care if it’s total football or counterattack. What is the ultimate goal of professional soccer? In my opinion, it is victory, and the pinnacle of victory is to become the champions. I am a manager. If I don’t wish to lose my job or be forgotten by the people, there’s only one path for me to take, and that is to lead the team in obtaining victories, in obtaining championship titles!»The main character was not well-liked by people.— «⋯We conducted a survey which had been deemed by Manager Tony Twain as extremely meaningless. In a random street survey conducted, ninety-three percent of those surveyed chose the option ‘I hate Tony Twain’, while only seven percent chose the option ‘This person is rather decent, I like him’. It is worth noting that nobody chose the option ‘Who is Tony Twain? I don’t know him’. Mark, do you know why Manager Twain felt that our survey was very meaningless?» Parker, a reporter from laughed loudly and said when he was being interviewed by BBC.But there were also people who were madly in love with him.— When Tony Twain was forced to talk about the survey conducted by during an interview, his reply was : «I am happy, because Nottingham Forest’s fans make up seven percent of England’s population.»And he did not seem to care about how the others saw him.— «What are you all trying to make me say? Admit that I am not popular, and everywhere I go will be filled with jeers and middle fingers. You all think I will be afraid? Wrong! Because I am able to bring victory to my team and its supporters. I don’t care how many people hate me and can’t wait to kill me, and I also won’t change myself to accommodate the mood of these losers. You want to improve your mood? Very simple, come and defeat me.»His love story had garnered widespread attention.— «Our reporters took these pictures at Manager Tony Twain’s doorsteps. It clearly shows that Shania entered his house at 8.34pm and she did not leave the house throughout the night at all. But Manager Tony Twain firmly denies, and insists that that was merely the newest-model inflatable doll which he had ordered.He was the number one star of the team.— «⋯ Became the spokesperson of world-wide famous clothing brands, shot advertisements, frequented the fashion industry’s award ceremonies, endorsed electronic games, has a supermodel girlfriend. His earnings from advertisements exceed his club salary by seventeen times, owns a special column in various print medias, publishing his autobiography (in progress), and is even said that he is planning to shoot an inspirational film based off his own person experiences! Who can tell me which part of his life experiences is worthy of being called ‘inspirational’? Hold on⋯. Are you all thinking that I’m referring to David Beckham? You’re sorely mistaken! I’m talking about Manager Tony Twain⋯.»He was very knowledgeable about Chinese soccer.— «⋯ I’ve heard about it, that Bora gifted four books to his manager Mr. Zhu before your country’s national team’s warm up match. After which, the team lost 1:3 to a nameless American team from Major League Soccer. The new excuse that Mr. Zhu gave for losing the match, was that Bora gifted «books» (‘books’ and ‘lose’ are homophones in the Chinese language). Here, I recommend that you guys find out what that one specific book is. Which book? Of course the one that caused you all to score a goal. After that, tell me the title of the book. Before every match, I will gift ten copies of that same book to you. In that case, won’t you all be able to get a triumphant 10:0 win over your opponents every time?» An excerpt taken from Tony Twain’s special column in a certain famous Chinese sports newspaper.He was loved and hated by the press.— «He has a special column in at least four renowned print media, and he is able to get a considerable amount of remuneration just by scolding people or writing a few hundred words of nonsense weekly. While we have to contemplate hard about our drafts for three days before our boss is pleased with it. In an article inside his special column, he scolded and called all of the media ‘son of a bitch’, announcing that he hated the media the most. But every time he publishes an article, we flock towards him like flies which had spotted butter. Why? Because the readers like to read his news and see him scold people. I dare to bet with you, and Manager Tony Twain knows clearly in his heart as well, that even though he says that he hates us, he knows that the present him cannot do without us. Similarly, we also cannot do without him. Is this ultimately considered a good or a bad thing?» Bruce Pearce, a reporter from said with a face of helplessness when talking about Tony Twain.But no matter the case, his players were his most loyal believers.— Gareth Bale, «No no, we never had any pressure when playing on our home grounds. Because the pressure is all on the manager. As long as we see him standing by the side of the field, all of us will feel that we will be able to win that match. Even the football hooligans are like meek lambs in front of him!» (After saying this, he began to laugh out loudly)The reply from George Wood, the team captain of Nottingham Forest, was the most straightforward. «We follow him because he can bring us victory.»The legendary experience of Tony Twain, the richest, most successful, most controversial manager with the most unique personality!Debuting this summer.Thank you for reading.

Makemake
"Makemake—a planet that is found in the far edges of the system known as Sol—was once a metropolis, like all of the other planets that populate the system. Now, like all of the others, it lies as a Sleeping City, forever dormant. No one lives there anymore—it has been vacant for years. In one of the massive cities that used to have a population that was in high numbers a sound could be heard. A distant sound. A beep, or a call, a message—whatever it was, it was an electronic noise. It echoed through the dust cloud filled landscape. The sound went on for a long time. It sat in a sea of quiet; no other noise rolled over the hills and bounced off the ground—only that noise. Only that beep."
