《Honest Way of Living》Bright College
Advertisement
Sun Bright Country is a country made of a few smaller states governed by the upper people from the Capital. Rich natural resources and most of the land are protected by mountain forests. Sun Bright Country adopted a national policy of multiculturalism, which celebrates the country's diversity.
"The Capital"
It is where the talented people live and shine the most due to how developed that place is. The best college and universities are also located there. One needs to know the cost of living in the Capital is way too high for common people. In fact, most people who work there live outside the Capital.
Bright College is one of the best colleges in the Sun Bright Country. The students admitted to this college will be fully funded by the college depending on their talent. Most of the lecturers and instructors there are the best in their field. Every year people do everything just to be admitted there, whether as a student or an instructor.
The entrance examination will be done to select both students and staff. Unfortunately, only less than 5% will be accepted from thousands of applications. The examinations will be held at specific locations decided by the college around November. Candidates require to at least pass the physical test just to gain an opportunity for the mock interview and general knowledge test.
Asfa Hunt is one of the candidates applying to Bright College. He is a 30 years old guy who has worked as Physical Education (PE) teacher since he graduated 5 years ago. He has been taking care of his parents since his early 20s when they were fired from their job. Asfa had to do a part-time job to ensure he got enough money to feed three people, including him.
Recently, his house got destroyed by a sudden landslide that happened out of nowhere. He lost everything he had, except his family. He had to quit his job due to his inability to work. He had to look over his parents for a few months after the accident since they were traumatised by it.

The compensation he got barely covered half of his loans. With the number of debts he has right now, he knows he needs to get a better job, and being the instructor in the Capital is definitely worth trying. He sent his parents back to the Dawn Red village, located at least 1000 km away from the Capital.
Dawn Red village is one of the leading suppliers of most fruits. Even if it is not fully developed, the security and environment there are good enough for old people to live. He used some of his money left to rent a small house for his parents. At least they have a place to live and work at the fruit farms there.
"It's okay, son. We can take care of ourselves now. You should focus on yourself more. We will be fine"
With the last bit of his money left, Asfa rents a small apartment with just one room and bathroom at the edge of the Capital. Asfa knows whatever happens, he needs to work within the Capital. He is currently renting an apartment from an old guy who owns the supermarket nearby.
Asfa has been working as a part-timer at the supermarket. That was why the owner gladly rented the small apartment to him. While resting inside the supermarket staff room, Asfa opened his phone to check the result of the college examination. He entered his login details.

"Congratulation, you are accepted to be the PE instructor in our college. Do reply to this email before next week. For further information, you can download the agreement attached to this email. Feel free to contact ..."
"I made it !" Asfa had to stand due to the excitement. The workers there know about his dream to be an instructor at Bright College. Therefore, they realised that Asfa had succeeded. Uncle Ling, the supermarket boss, always thought that Asfa had what it takes to be the instructor there. In fact, Uncle Ling always treats Asfa nicely, just like his son.

"Uncle Ling, thank you for everything. I would not be able to succeed in this without your help. I will always remember this uncle !"
Asfa always treats Uncle Ling just like his father or uncle. He will always work hard with whatever duties he got during his part-time job here.
Uncle Ling : Oh don't worry Asfa. It was a pleasant time to work with you. With your honesty and endurance, I'm sure you will be able to be a good instructor there in the Capital. Not to mention, everyone here believes that you will be accepted there..
Asfa : Uncle Ling, thank you for everything. I would not be able to succeed in this without your help. I will never forget this uncle. By the way, I will still live in your apartment since I can just use the train here to go to the college in half an hour. A good way to save some money anyway.
Uncle Ling : Haha, still cheap as usual. Remember to visit us here when you are free later.
Asfa left the supermarket once he was done meeting with the workers there. In fact, some of the regular customers are so happy and excited when they know Asfa passed the entry exams.
He went back immediately to his apartment with the groceries he had bought for him to cook this week.
Asfa took his time to read the agreement and contract attached.

Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero (Update 09/19/21)
(Updated 09/19/21) Hello and welcome. If you made it this far and the book title sounds interesting, I'm hoping you'll read a few chapters. Here's a sample from chapter 1 of "Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero."Slowly starting to wake up, I become aware. It's like coming out of a fog.Head hurts.Body hurts.There's a conversation in the room. This isn't my bed. Someone is touching my arm. I crack my eyes to look. She doesn't notice. Is she praying for me? Her hands do feel good…do feel... Slipping back unconscious, my eyes slowly close. I didn't notice the soft green glow under Jenn’s hands.*******************"It does look like he saved them or at least stalled them long enough for us to get there." says the man dressed more like a park ranger than an officer of the law. "I did think he was part of it at first" he continues "but the evidence shows he wasn't there and they were certainly fighting on that back road where we found them""I don't care who he is." says a woman as she enters the room. "He saved and protected my Jenn. I will make sure there's not a mark or a scar on him before he leaves". As she continues the few steps over to the men speaking, even though dressed simply in common clothes, there is no doubt the race of elves is in her heritage. The grace and lines of her form. The elegance and lightness of her step. She glances at her daughter, still watching over the young man in the bed. "Do we know who he is yet?" she asks no one in particular."Not yet dear" a man in a white coat responds. A handsome middle-aged man. Fit, but not that of a fighter or ranger. "I asked Talon to bring another identification stone with him. I was hoping ours was just broke, but it's reading the same.""What do you think is wrong?" Talon asks."I'm thinking we just have to wait until he recovers. I have heard of cases where the stone didn't work. Powerful spells can hide or wipe a person clean. I doubt he's a spy or a criminal. Spells like that are just too high level if, they're used at all. My best guess is, there is just some disconnect with him being unconscious. When he wakes, we can ask him or use the stone again then."I find myself waking up in a hospital bed. The attending Doctor finds it odd that he cannot identify my class. An Officer says I’m a Hero for saving a girl from being kidnapped, but he’s asking too many questions for my liking. I know an accusing tone when I hear it. I don’t remember any of it and I need to find my way home.Author’s notes. Original work. First draft and update of chapters 1-16. Inspired by various fantasy games and books. Written with a focus on character development and interaction. Combat, progression, leveling, classes, but no numbers or stats. I’ll try to keep the language clean, PG-13, no smut. I’m in the US, writing in English. Almost fifty chapters are completed as I pen this introduction. I intend to complete this story or at least bring it to a proper ending. I have a destination in mind. I find as I write, doors and ideas open, while others close and are discarded. The tentative release schedule will be once a week. I'm new to creating. My apologies now while I learn. I have not settled on a book cover or artwork, still looking for something that fits. Registered & Protected #20VjeKDv2U6nynW6

The Loyal Ones [Dark Biopunk Fantasy]
TLDR; A slave monster survives horror, war and servitude, while trying to live with himself. Thralls are a race of monstrous slave soldiers, in a universe where biological magic takes the place of technology. Centuries ago, their ancestors were desperate humans, who volunteered to be transformed for the Poison War. Today their unfortunate descendants are still soldiers and laborers. In contract law they are 'corporate wards'; slaves owned largely by arms dealers. Dally Harper starts this story as a champion cage fighter. He is one of the 'lucky' ones. It's all downhill from there. Content Warning: Explicit violence and gore, slavery, implied sexual assault. None of these are framed as positive or glorified, however they do have a strong impact on the plot and main characters.
