"This is too fast. I thought it was just a joke that crazy girl played on me," he muttered.
[*Teacher is encouraged to attend the event. The backing of the Chen Family could help him to stand up to the Moon Family*]
Zack paced the street as he read. Sometimes he stumbled or bumped into someone.
Lifting his face, he put his right hand on his neck and said. "If you're going out, get out now. You're making me tired."
Many people walking by looked at him strangely, and even when he said this, no one appeared.
His feeling was still lingering, so he decided to get rid of whatever it was soon.
He activated his ability and moved at high speeds through the crowd.
After moving for a while, changing routes, he lost the feeling he had, so he put on his mask and looked for a secluded place where he changed his clothes.
He had his identity as Red Devil again. He walked out of the place where he was and looked for a way to get to land.
He went to the central area and asked for directions. This place had teleporters, so he went to the transporter connected to the earth, and after paying, he went out through it.
The environment suddenly started to change, and he felt his body being sucked in as he appeared in another place.
He looked around and could see many humans and one or two other races. The atmosphere felt very comforting.
For some reason, I love the air of the earth again. Unlike previous generations, the air was now much fresher and more pleasant, and free of pollution after the trees' evolution.
'Home, sweet home,' He thought.
He moved through the teleport station and looked for a nearby phone store. He bought a modern phone. After all, money was not an issue these days.

He connected his phone to the internet network and searched for information related to the Chen family.
He was able to find their location and information that would help him with his problem with the Moons.
The Chens were on the other side of the continent, still called Asia. They controlled the entire Asian continent while the Moon controlled the territory of the continent he currently lived on.
The other parts were distributed among the other 3 families. He logged out of the internet connection and called for a cab.
He listened to music on his phone while he looked at the city and remembered some bitter things.
He remembered his years in this city, how he moved away from his family, plus the hardships it caused him. Still, this was the city where everything changed equally.
He deactivated the cab's power window and let the wind hit his mask.
He took off the hood of his coat, and his hair began to flutter in the wind. After eating so many cores, his hair had grown too. It now reached his shoulders.
The cab driver had seen what this one did in the rearview mirror. Ignoring what happened, he drove on until he reached the city's transportation hub.
He bought a ticket to the Star mainland and waited his turn to board a train and boarded. These trains moved through vacuum tubes, making them travel at a speed that a typical airplane cannot reach.
It only took 15 minutes to go from one end of the supercontinent to the other. The things he encountered this time were very different from the other cities. You could tell that a great job was done in maintaining this city.
Its structures don't look very modern, but that was only at a glance. Cherry trees and people wearing kimonos were seen walking everywhere.
Even foreign races were wearing this style of clothing in this place. He walks still dazzled by the streets and the atmosphere they gave him.
'I am in Tihuan state, now I have to head to Chen state,' he thought.
He took another cab and marched towards Chen city. He could notice that although all civilizations use the universal language, you could hear people speaking their ancestral language and exploit writing in this continent.

The trip was very relaxed, with Lofi music playing in the cab, which made him feel good.
Zack fell asleep without realizing it, and after a while, he heard something.
"Sir, we have arrived at the location."
Opening his eyes, he found himself in a hotel with old Japanese style. Paying for the cab, he got out of the vehicle and entered the place. He booked one of the most luxurious rooms on the site, and after reaching his room, he removed his mask.
He continued to take off all his clothes and walked towards the bathroom, passing a mirror. But soon, he stopped and looked in the mirror.
"Is this me?"
His body had become more defined and muscular. He had spent his days so busy that he didn't even notice when something changed in his body.
He did some poses like he was a bodybuilder, which immediately made him feel uncomfortable.
'What the hell was he doing?'
He walked into the bathroom and discovered a small pool gushing steam. He stepped into the water and felt his body gradually feel more energetic.
'This bath is imbued with some magical artifact, worthy of a first classroom.'
The bath lasted a long while. It was one day of relaxation and would be extended to two the next day. An hour later, he came out of the bath, and without getting dressed, only covered by a towel, he started to watch television.
So he spent his night and the next day came.
Zack was in a cab heading to the Chen residence. He took advantage of his time away and managed to remove his mask.
He had gone early to a clothing store and bought some pants and shoes for the occasion, plus he used his new creation.
[Sonorous Earrings] They allow the wearer to hear at a farther distance and use echolocation.
He also wore his Infernal T-shirt, which was black in color, but when imbued with magic, it turned red.
"We arrived, sir" the cab driver's face changed when he saw the place they arrived at.
"I think we have come to the wrong place, sir," he replied.
Zack opened the cab door and paid the cab driver. "No, you've come to the right place."
Two guards stood at the door and looked at Zack with fierce eyes. "You can't be here; leave before we take action."
Zack pulled out a letter which he passed to the guards. One of them grabbed the letter and, grinning, maliciously tore it up.
Despite the attitude, the guard had shown Zack was indifferent. The guard who destroyed the letter walked over and threw the pieces in his face.
"You're another one of those fans sending love letters to our lady, aren't you?"
Zack didn't answer and showed his right hand where he had a bracelet. The man looked at the hand, and after thorough observation, his face changed.
Leaning on the floor, he shouted. "I welcome you, sir; excuse my disrespect, sir!"
The cab driver, who had not yet left along with the other guard, stood dumbfounded. The other guard came over and looked at the arm as well. Upon looking at it properly, his attitude was the same as the other guard.
"Make way and stop the drama," he said.
Both guards hurriedly got up and opened the large gate to the residence.
Zack entered while the guards were still outside before he kept looking back and said. "Don't think I've forgotten what you did. I'll punish you later."
The guards were calm on the outside, but inside they felt great fear.
The words Zack gave were strong, but they were not backed up; he just said them to put them where they should be.
*** In a room inside the residence ***
A person watched through the window of a room as he smiled and said to himself. "He passed the test pretty well."

The Long and Exciting Life of Kreet the Kobold (Life 1)
This is a coming-of age story of a kobold, set in a rather generic D&D universe. It is adult in that it certainly touches upon some sexuality, but it is far, far from anything that might be considered porn. It is ultimately a tragedy, but so is life. That doesn't mean it has to end badly, just that it has to end.

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.
