08.Mystery coffee --------------------------- The old Taoist helped Jack up. Although Jack felt weak and had abdominal pain, his symptoms were relieved. He stood up. The old Taoist said to Jack: "You need to rest for three days." I'll take you home first! Male nurses were surprised, according to the condition and medical process, it will take at least a week, even a month to recover! Male nurse said: appendicitis is easy to relapse, I still recommend seeing a doctor for examination. The old Taoist said, "No problem." I am responsible for his illness. The old Taoist said, "Do you feel better?" Jack nodded, and the old Taoist continued, "good, your body is lighter.". Jack did feel lighter, because the old Taoist had already carried him and strode. The old Taoist said: "Young man, we have met again." What's your name? Jack said, "My name is Jack. I'm not interested in learning kung fu! 'Your parents divorced, you have no girlfriend, you will not feel lonely and bored?' Jack was suddenly frightened, and he said angrily, "How do you know my parents are divorced?"? Have you investigated me? What do you want to do to me? Put me down! Don't panic. I'm not interested in men. This is physiognomy. By observing your facial features, I can learn something about you. ' said the old Taoist. Jack said in disbelief, "I'm me. How can you know about my parents?". The old Taoist said with a smile: westerners take the individual as the smallest unit, while the Chinese take the family as the smallest unit. You are born of your parents, and you must have some connection with them, which is similar to telepathy. But I don't have much information. You just happen to be in this situation. Jack was puzzled. He said, "How do you know I don't have a girlfriend?"? Taoist priest: if you have a girlfriend, you will hold your girlfriend instead of a big tree. 'If you have a girlfriend, you will hold your girlfriend instead of a big tree. Now you have nothing, it's better to train with me! In that case, what you desire will come to you naturally!' Jack thinks it's ridiculous: what's the use of learning kung fu? Let me do the show? I will strive for love through hard work. Love has nothing to do with whether I know kung fu or not! The old Taoist said earnestly: in the Chinese concept, only by being strong can you get what you want. You will understand this in the future. Jack thought the old Taoist would send him home, but he told Jack that his home was closer to here. So they went to the old Taoist's house. Entering the Taoist's home, Jack was shocked. The old Taoist's home is a three storey compound structure of a western style house. In addition to the kitchen, shower room and gym, other spaces are used for vertical farming. The old Taoist put Jack on the sofa, and he made his own mysterious coffee. Jack saw that there was a phone next to the sofa, so he called his aunt and asked her to pick him up. When the old Taoist came back, Jack told him that his aunt would come back to pick him up. The old Taoist learned that Jack's aunt was Mrs. Reed. He told Jack that his name was Cheng Hui Liu. The old Taoist priest closed his eyes quietly. He began to imagine that the next conversation with Mrs. Reed was happy and pleasant. Finally, they reached a consensus that Mrs. Reed was willing to let Jack stay and learn kung fu from him. The old Taoist used the Qi in his body to run along the meridians connecting the kidney. This could strengthen the luck of human relations in a short time.

Yin-Yang
Mages in North America seem to have it all – typically from well-off families, and able to manipulate their environment in ways most of the world would never believe. They don’t even have to bother with the mundane details of life like housework, thanks to their sensitives, who also make a useful source for extra magical energy. After all, sensitives have no use for it themselves, and if mages weren’t meant to make use of it, then the sensitives would obviously have some way to prevent that. That a mage can transform a sensitive physically, with no restrictions beyond overall mass and basic biological viability, whereas magic tends not to work directly on any other living thing, is only further proof. And look at the way they live on their own, barely a step above animals. It’s better for them to belong to a mage. Sensitives in North America live on the edge of society and survival – typically so paranoid they avoid hospitals and anything else that could lead to being tracked, many of them with little or no education and no legal identity or existence. Mages exist, and mages want sensitives for some reason, but no one ever comes back to explain what that reason is. Waiting every day for the hunters to notice them doesn’t lead to much motivation or hope for the future. And once they’re captured, they’re the property of someone with a terrifying amount of power over them. Anything is better than capture. Mages are born to be the masters, and sensitives are born victims. Or are they? Jax’s life is turned upside-down when he’s caught by the hunters and sold to a mage. Andreas is still mourning for his previous sensitive, though, unconsciously creating a difficult standard for Jax to live up to, all the more so while still struggling to come to terms with this new reality as Andreas’ sensitive. A runaway sensitive isn’t what Van expects at the mental health centre. Is this a hunter trap, set for him and the rest of the Donovan family by the hunters? The hunters would, after all, love to see them cross the line openly and finally do something they can be charged with. Either way, Miranda’s genuinely in trouble, and he can’t just abandon her to it. Snatching a sensitive out from under the hunters and hiding her is odd behaviour for a mage – but then, Catherine is an odd mage, living in disgrace in the old servants’ quarters of her grandmother’s house, responsible for cooking and housework. Lila owes Catherine her freedom; is there a way to help Catherine achieve her own, and at what price? Tension is building between traditionally-minded mages and those advocating change, and something has to break. *** Yin-Yang includes a small amount of profanity and no graphic sex or on-screen physical violence. However, sex and gender roles and relationships within the mage/sensitive subculture are non-traditional in mainstream North American terms. The key criterion in a primary relationship is not relative sex or gender, but the pairing of mage and sensitive; given the transformation of sensitives by their mages, physical sex is non-absolute for a sensitive, and gender identity can vary as in anyone else. *** *** The way mages treat sensitives is extremely varied and, in some cases is outright abusive. The struggle against that is pretty much the point of the book. It is NOT grimdark or misery-porn! However, if you will be triggered by this, please, don't read Yin-Yang! *** Complete stand-alone novel, 153K words! Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.

Teaching Heroes of Might and Magic
Xianxia, the dream of many. To be reborn in such a world so that you may make yourself a god amongst gods, so that you may rule your own fate and destiny.Well, welcome to reality, because even if you end up in such a realm, who says you get power? Who says you are the one who gets to rule as a god amongst gods? Those stories you read at home on your phone or laptop? Sadly, it just isn't so. Just like Zev, the protagonist of this novel discovered when he was dropped into a world full of Immortals, Monsters, Gods and other monstrous beings. No other worldly power, no other worldly magic, no treasure trove of knowledge or skills was given to him. He was dropped as a mere human, a slightly stronger than average human, into a world where his goal was to simply teach others upon pain of death.-----Full Name of Story [Teaching Heroes of Might and Magic: Mentor of Main Characters]And for the synopsis, I'll first of all state that I am not good at writing them, and this may not have explained the story very well. So I'll just state what the story includes, and what it doesn't. It includes Immortals, demons, gods, etc, you get the idea. What it doesn't include is an actually powerful main character. The main character has a set of unique skills, which include lying, cheating, faking, and all around poker face to get him in and out of situations.Again, the Synopsis needs to be worked on, but for now, that is what it is.
