'Melinda... didn't I hear that name before. No I must be imagining things but she do look like her......'
"Are you by any chance Melinda Scott?" I ask
Hearing that name her face expression quickly change into that of a surprise one. She seem like she was wanted to say something but couldn't respond to my question. 'Bingo' I thought, but the thought was quickly dismiss. As it was replaced by dozens of questions. Wasn't she on Earth? She human right? Why is she here?, What is her real Identity? As I was in my own little world a pearl white hand rapidly come towards my face.
*Slap*
'This bitch...'
"Hey don't ignore me! Answer my questions Who are you? How do you know my name?" She asked while having an angry expression her face.
" I am a wanderer who seeks advent....."(Zain)
*Slap*
'I swear to god once I am off this chair, I will strangle this girl'
"Don't play with me, you should know that this island is resident of countless of strange monsters and no humans , so you are not just a wanderer''(Melinda)
"OK... damn, my name is Zain Smith, I won't hurt you, so untie me please"(Zain)
'Just you wait until I am untied , It will be living hell for you...'
"I will untie you after you answer all my question and promise that you will not hurt me, agreed?"(Melinda)
"Agreed"(Zain)
'Idiot'
"First question, Why are you here?"(Melinda)
"Special reasons"(Zain)
"Why are you here?"(Melinda)
"Speci.....(Zain)
*Slap*
"Why are you here?"(Melinda)
"Damn woman, I just said for specia....."(Zain)
*Slap*
"Why are you here?"(Melinda)
"Because I have to pass a trial set by the gods, happy!?"(Zain)
"Much better, Second question, how do you know my name?"(Melinda)

'She believe me? Umm.. she must have seen a god before..'
"I seen and talk to you before, you don't remember me?" (Zain)
"When have we meet?"(Melinda)
"The nationwide martial arts tournament back on Earth"(Zain)
".....Zain Smith.... Oh! you are that person? You change so much!"(Melinda)
'Wait did she just believe in my answer? She did not doubt my answer?'
*Slap*
"Why are you lying to me."(Melinda)
'Thought so....'
"God damn violent woman , stop slapping me already, I bet the right side of my face is already red and swollen like a tomato!" I shouted
"Then stop playing around and answer my question, When have we meet?"(Melinda)
'Master, why don't you break the chains you are bounded by, I have analyze those chains and I did not find anything special about them.You can easily break them you know'(Erza)
Looking to the right side of me I can see Erza floating next to me. My face flushed red feeling a little embarrassed because I had not thought about that, sometimes I forget I have inhuman strength. Seeing my face turning a bit red she smile an enchanting smile.
'Erza you can hear what I think can you'
'Of course, just like how you lied to the girl telling her that you will not hurt her but planning on doing it, am I right?'(Erza)
'Yea, yea. So tell me how can I stop you for listening to my thoughts'
'I know how to, but I won't tell you'(Erza)
'I order you to tell me'
'...'(Erza)
'Now'
'..fine, just think of it as phone call, while talking on the phone there should be a mute button that can allow the other person to hear them or not. Just imagine that in your mind and it should work.'(Erza)

'That answer is vague, well OK. Oh yeah. how can she not see you, you are floating next to me?'(Erza)
'I can allow people to see me or not '(Erza)
'That make sense, so you are a stalking ghost'
'...'(Erza)
*Slap*
"Hey, I'am talking to you, answer my quest..."(Melinda)
'She asking for it'
*Sound of chains breaking*
"Y-y-you how can break those chains so easily, you are not human. You are just like that man in that cloak"(Melinda)
'Man? Cloak?'
"So Miss Melinda can you tell me why are you here?, why are you not on earth?" I said while creeping closer to her.
As if she had seen the end of her life she started cry,"I-I-I-I...*Sniff* *Sniff* Please be gentle."
'Oh.. she crying, she trying to make me the bad guy. I swear if men saw me making this beautiful girl cry I will be in for a beating. And gentle? I just ask a her question.'
"Hey, hey. Stop crying, I just ask you why are you here?"(Zain)
"You not going to....."(Melinda)
Before letting her finish her sentence I quickly said " No,no. I just want to know why are you here. So can you just tell me how you got here?"
"Promise?"(Melinda)
'Is this a little girl I am talking to? Just a few minutes ago she was like devil,* Sigh*'
"Promise" I replied
"Ok.... I was brought here by a man, I couldn't see his face through due to his cloak"(Melinda)
"Do you know his name?"(Zain)
"Yes, he said that he was a god, his name was.... what was it again? Um.. oh yeah, his name was David Robinson"(Melinda)
'David?'

8 485Story: Forever After
This is a story that spanned for eons. Through a series of misfortune, Ryner turned into an immortal creature that has lived for hundreds of thousands of years. Not bound to one world, he saw war and peace, love and hate, magic and science. The man started as a parentless child only to grow into a powerful and shunned monster. Despite the physical and mental scars, he still fights on. He still fights Alice, his fellow, insane monster and for their own reasons, they kill each other. The two wage brutal wars in the form of a “death game” that Ryner managed to force Alice into playing. After his latest win against her, he decides to go on a vacation. As such, he inserts himself in a seemingly normal world to enjoy a brief moment of peace and quiet. This is where the story starts, not at the beginning, but near the end. Instead of resting like a lazy tourist, problems pop up one after another. Eventually, Alice ceases to be his only or biggest concern. This is the story of a man who stubbornly walks down a road of madness. This is the story of how a tortured soul struggles, lives and fights. WARNING MATURE CONTENT: gore, sexual content, some disturbing themes Note: Sexual content will be posted as side stories, separated from the main plot. (Will add tags as story progresses)
8 207The Mystifying Diviner
Content warning, there is cursing in the story and there will be some pretty heavy sexual innuendos in it also. I don’t really plan to write gore, but there will be fight scenes. Fair warning to readers, it is a slow start. But hopefully it is enjoyable for you to read. Follow the story of an old chef who was lucky to be selected to become a system host. Well maybe not so lucky, because gaining the system killed him. He will be given a system that might not be the best match for him. While also having to deal with a snarky system monitor who might not be that helpful most of the time. He will also use his new found powers to enjoy life in a new younger body. What you can expect from this story is bad writing, poor grammar, and slow pacing maybe. Food, cooking, comedy, slice of life, fighting, exploring, tournaments, scamming and probably face slapping. I mean who doesn’t like a good face slapping? This is my take on a cultivation story, a lot of Eastern stuff will be crammed into with a mix of Western. This story started as a goal for myself to write 60,000 words in a month for NaNoWriMo. I was able to do it even with taking days off and not writing. I plan to keep writing the story, but at a slightly slower pace. I am aiming for 2-3 chapters a week now with about 4-7k words written. This is only posted on RoyalRoad currently, and I have no plans to change that for now.
