《Smiling Chaos》Chapter 24
Advertisement
Jung was already twenty-five meters away from the parking lot..The box in his hands felt like he was carrying five tonnes of oil-barrels..It did feel heavy or was he the one who was weak..
He did give the box to MinGi because he wanted the technology inside to wind up in the server room.. However he could not think of a smart idea of how to do that.It was Doyoung who suggested that he buys a gift and make it look like it was from one of the girls in Sejun.After which he can hide the equipment inside.Obviously they should have made a better plan but San didn't give much time and then when Jung says that he needs to prepare, Doyoung and San just think he is being sassy.Anway it sounded weird to Jung that a young female would want to buy a gift for an old IT man, little did he know it was because the IT helper is elegant enough to serve a dynasty emperor.
He then bought the box and couldn't think of anything to put in it so he bought stickers.On the day he delivered the gift, he was feeling indefinitely stupid.He thought he would blow his cover.Why he thought so is not exact but him being so obsessed with details means that he wants everything to be perfect, to be in sync and this plan was the opposite of that. Honestly speaking why would anyone gift stickers?... Stickers!??
That's why he wanted to grab the box then go back and change the gift but MinGi had already opened the door and took the box..
Though they are perfect strangers, it somehow kinda hurt that MinGi returned the gift.Usually there are two reasons why anyone would do that.The first, the present is too expensive and the receiver feels it's too greedy to accept it.Like in the case of a designer watch or limited edition books or just anything incredibly valuable.And this is not the reason because how expensive can stickers possibly be that someone feels guilty to keep them.Anyway the other reason is that the receiver doesn't want the gift at all.And mostly they don't open it at all and by the looks of this box, he probably didn't open it..
This made Jung furious.Yes his plan was horrible but since it has got Jung s touch surely it must be worth jade pendants.Its not vanity , it's fact. He has that tiny spect of self pride especially when it comes to gifting and any form of expression.If someone has the rare blessing of being acknowledged by Jung then they must consider themselves lucky otherwise they must be mentally handicapped.However in the case of MinGi, there appears to be an exception.Jeon shook his head and decided that if MinGi is going to be mean then he too will turn up the heat.Even though he is saying all this, Heaven knows he is only lying to himself.The last time he did anything savage was hiding a toy scorpion in Doyoung s bed because Doyoung had called him an idiot.But later he baked scones for him and apologized.Whether or not he was forgiven doesn't matter because they are still they way they used to be..

He thinks that if it didn't contain expensive equipment he would trash it already.Maybe he should take out the techno and bin it .
There was a sitting area ahead and there are two rubbish bins so he can lose it there.The street light was at the center of the sitting area and it illuminated a orange warmth on the area.
As for the sitting area, it is just a group of cement-made chairs and likewise tables.To be precise, there was about six set-ups. Each set-up was identical to one another. The general architecture was like that of a park, meaning there was a table and the sets surrounded it almost like the users would mostly be those who are sharing a meal.
Anyway, he walked to the setup that was closer to the bin and he stood there.
He opened the box while he searched the area so that no one spots him throwing away the box.As he acted like a vigilante, he was opening the box with his other hand while the other supported it ..
Simultaneously he brought his eyes from the surrounding to the box and he almost screamed.
He quickly covered his mouth and he stepped away from the bin and went towards the streetlight.He scoffed underneath his own hand as the light confirmed what he thought he was hallucinating.
The box was filled with chocolates..
He quickly closed the box and held it to his chest and then he jumped up and down like a little girl..He wanted to yell to the heavens and thank them.No one can resist Jeon charm, well maybe except Doyoung but is he a person?No one can be that annoying so his conscience is right.Absolutely no one that walks this earth.He did a little dance before he stormed off and headed towards the dormitory..
A few minutes later, Jung got off the dorm elevator and walked to his room.He quietly opened the door and walked into the darkness.He closed the door smartly.Even though BoGum would be dead asleep right now, it's no excuse for him to make a raucous plus he is gifted with chocolates meaning he is sweet and would a sweet person wake their roomate unnecessarily?
The light from the street poles directly outside his room is really strong so even with such thick curtains closed , he is capable to see very well.As such he made his way to the study table and picked up his phone..
Two o clock!!
He cursed under his breath ,why is time flying so fast , he is not looking forward at all to Monday s dessert practical.

Desserts have never been his strongest side. all he knows are spies and herbs not sugars. That should have been done by other students beside himself like BoGum, Hirai or San s female friend , whatever her name is. The point is it bores him to cook sweet things because they are a meaningless delicacy. Food is supposed to be savoury and fulfilling but desserts offer temporary pleasure.whoever inverted them?
Three days ago, their lecturer had told them that they would be making three types of the most God-like desserts all at once.The goal isn't to try and make them dessert chefs but rather to see if they can be able to handle such a high intensity exercise because restaurants can get busy out of the blue and customers tend to be needy then.Besides it's not that he doesn't know how to make them , it's just that he hates that he has to make them all together, in such a short time and perfectly for that matter.Because of his weird over the top habit ,whenever they make dessert or non-sweet food , the meal has to be perfect otherwise he has to start from screatch. If he hates the plating then he dumps the whole dish despite how it tastes. he believes the nature of a person is painted in what he creates and the way he presents ,so what portrait does he paint with a messy dish.No wonder 'San' thinks he is effective at what he does
Anyway he replaced the phone back on the table and he reached for the chocolate box.And he took it out and opened it.
He could only see the silhouettes of the criss cross on the chocolates and the vast contours of the truffles other than that everything was identical.
He reached for a box of serviettes that he keeps in his room.And he pulled out a single ply.With that ply he picked a truffle and he took a bite of it..
As soon as the contents of the truffle touched his tongue he wrinkled his forehead.. Something is definitely wrong but he continued chewing irregardless. Everytime he chewed he wrinkled his forehead . Eventually he couldn't continue eating this and that's when he spit the chocolate back on the serviette
That was awful.
He turned around and he walked over to BoGum s table ,picked his water bottle, threw the top off and he took a large sip and gurgled .He proceeded to the window which he opened and spit out the water.
He took a second and a third gulp and he spit each successively spit out the window.On the fourth sip he instead swallowed the water.He had used nearly eighty percent of BoGum s water.BoGum likes to fetch water before going to bed but more often than not, he never drinks it.Instead he takes the bottle to class the following day.Why doesn't he just fetch new water in the morning.. Anyway thankfully for Jung, he had not broke his habit, otherwise how would he rinse the bitterness. What confuses him the most is why on earth would someone think that minted sweets should be kept in the same box as chocolates with gooey substance in the middle.Now it tastes like toothpaste
How can people subject themselves to such indecency.How can they possibly take pleasure in pleasureless things like this.
He placed the bottle softly in the table ,closed the window and curtain.Jung then went over to the table, picked up the messy servitte and carried it to the bin which he tossed without a second guess.Since he was near the wardrobe ,he then decided to change to wearing his pyjamas but he couldn't find them so he just took of his pants and shoes and threw them on the wardrobe floor.He closed the doors and sat on the bed.Jung was positioned such that his head was going to be right near the study table.He slid his lower body into the bed and whilst sitting he took off his upper clothes and tossed them on the bed as he prepared to sleep.Within the next second he threw the cover over his body

World Story: Biographies of Extraordinary People
Important note: I’d like to thank Dr. Buller for their advice on dialogue by their critical review. And I’m on a one-month break to post the first revised chapters on Scribble Hub. Please stay tuned! Even in faraway worlds, every folk had a story, and monsters came in numerous shapes and sizes. However, heroes never existed in this otherworld. Even the most idealistic understood this deep within. But as they abandoned their humanity at times, they quickly regained it. It was not that they became human again. They always were. So what happened when the monster devoid of humanity appeared? Well, the “heroes” sought to slay it at all costs either way, lest it would be the end of their stories. A portal/isekai fantasy that I wanted to deconstruct some elements within. Expect a whole ton of references and dialogue because I’ll deliberately write it more like a light novel. The last thing to consider is that Japanese names in my novel will come with kanji/hiragana characters within parentheses. The same goes for any other derived from non-Latin writing systems. It’s because none of the names I write will be accidental or random. They’ll all have meaning. New chapters Monday to Thursday at 11:00 PM (GMT+8), though sometimes I can’t. Credit for the cover art goes to HWPerfidy. She’s a freelance artist on this site, and I’d love anyone who shows her support.

Birth of an AntiHero
AntiHero's FIRST REWRITE IN THE WORKS - thanks!! :] EDIT 2/28/22 - sorry, health problems right now, but I will post after rewriting the first 80-90,000 words or so and start fresh from there! Expect the change to be uploaded before summer! So long as I can keep using my hands, that is~! ^_^ X] This story will indeed get fleshed out as my vision improves for the better. But I feel the need to emphasize that a lot of parts are written in improvised comic book format as my primary writing style, and this first book is actually the entry point and starting novel for an entire very vast series I am in the works of developing. Many side characters here will eventually be main characters with there own stories; long or short. But this one particularly will be focused and centralized around Noel. Because of this, I do plan to leave the introduction for side characters as still having a special flow for readers to witness a tad of their background, so keep that in mind after my 'obviously many' rewrites from now and going into the future! Sorry for the troubles! I will improve on my style and implementation of the story!(Although I DO plan to keep parts as 'play style' or rather, comic book style, since I find it easier for certain dialogue instances as well as the fact that the novel is inspired by that 'feeling' you get while reading comic books. But my style is still evolving, you were warned!) Thank you! - Noel Tyler Malierano. He's the youngest 'son' to receive approval from 'The Malierano Family': A Criminal Organization of hitmen and hitwomen that specialize in killing, even maintaining success within a vastly superpowered society. Noel finally manages to complete his training as the newest 'Elite' killer his family created...but, there's just one problem - He doesn't want to kill! Come along and delve into a society of conflicting morals through the eyes of a boy, desperately searching for a new path to follow. Can he even manage to free himself from his father's engrained teachings and ideals? Conversely, will killing prove a lot more difficult to ignore? --- --> Thank you very much for reading! It would be helpful for me if you all consider leaving me a comment or an inbox suggestion, a review or even a full rating wherever AND whenever you believe I need to improve on anything or if something I wrote irked you! I appreciate EVERYONE that comes to read my story, however I DO want to improve my work as a writer. I hope all of you who don't like my work will let me know somehow, so I can edit and IMPROVE my story as a whole! Thank you everyone for your time! --- JUST TO NOTE!! When a character has a cultural name like, say, a Japanese or Russian name, that is because that character IS Japanese or Russian! They don't have to be FULL of one ethnicity either - sometimes they will be mixed. This story mainly takes place on an artificial continent where all countries have sent over their respective talents, meaning characters of ALL cultures and ethnic backgrounds will show hints of that in their names. Please don't assume I'm just randomly naming characters names that don't match them. And feel free to talk to me about whatever in my story troubles you - no matter how small! I love to improve. ^-^ X] --- Just to note: Characters will slowly grow as time passes. Slow pace. THANKS for reading! Enjoy! :] --- Decided to post 2 chapters every Tuesday and Friday instead of taking a small break, but I MAY upload once in a while on different days, such as Sundays, in addition to those two. :]

Earth's First Dungeon
Reginald Montgomery was a high class Rules Lawyer, specializing in the 'art' of Min-Maxing a Character. He had been the secret behind the ability of the Guild 'Eternal Gamer' being able to obtain the World First Clears of various MMOs for the last five years. The political entities of the world had hidden the imminent approach of a gigantic meteor, of similar size to the one that theoretically wiped out the dinosaurs, until it was able to be spotted by high powered astronomical telescopes. The United Nations sends nukes into a crater located deep on the meteor, breaking it into millions of smaller fragments, except for around two areas, where there was a building that looked like an old school Roman temple and one where there was a giant metallic cube. The cube crashed into Reginald's backyard, and his 'gamer' senses were itching at the chance of supremely valuable loot. Upon investigating, he is injected with a control crystal for a 'Construction Core', but when it releases an extremely high density of pressurized mana, his body seizes up and the Core draws his mind into it before merging the control crystal back into the Core and retreating into the Cube and digging itself deeper. Two months later, Reginald becomes aware again, only to find out that nothing is as it was and he is now the Earth's First Dungeon...
