part 2:
Sereia
I woke up and I felt so dizzy. What happened? I stand up and I look at the mirror. I am still wearing my floral dress. My eyes are red with signs that I cried so hard. I wash my face and I change my clothes. I saw a box on the study table. Maybe I should open this later.
I leave my room and i go to the kitchen. Damn, I am very hungry. When was the last time I ate?
"Good Morning my little sis!" Seungwoo greeted me. "Seat in here."
He prepares pancakes. My favorite. I started eating because I was so hungry.
"Hey, careful. The food won't run, okay?"
"Sereia, sorry because I forgot your birthday. I know it is a very important day to you. Yet, I choose my girlfriend rather than my cute little sister. Can you forgive me?"
"Yes." And I continue eating. "Do I have a choice?"
"That fast? Wow, thank you!"
"What about your girlfriend?"
"Nah, I broke up with her. If she can't accept my little sister then I won't accept her."
"Cut that little sister thingy. It's annoying."
"What? You're still a baby."
"I'm not a baby. I am 17. I can stand up on my own."
"Still, you are my baby."
"Dongpyo was your baby."
"Who said that?"
"Dongpyo himself."
"Well, the two of you are my baby."
Oh, I remember. Yohan gave me this gift last night. I wonder what's inside of it. I opened it and I saw a bracelet. I also found a little note inside.
To: Han Sereia,
I hope you like my gift. I heard on Seungwoo Hyung that you like bracelets so I made you some. Happy 17th Birthday. Smileeee!

From: Strong Thigh, Kim Yohan♡
The bracelets are so cute. I should thank him personally. Then my phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Han Sereia, please leave your room. Now!" He hung up. I go down and what on earth is so dark in here?
"Happy Birthday, Sereia!" Everyone greeted me.
"Awww, thank you so much guys!"
"We know it's late. But still, happy birthday." Seungwoo said.
"Dohyon, are you hungry?" I asked.
"Yes Noona." He said and he rubbed his tummy.
"Let's eat. The maknae was hungry." Seungyoun said.
"Yohanie, thank you for the bracelet. I really like it."
"Aww, you're welcome, Sereia." He said and he keeps scratching the back of his neck.
"Yah! We also help, you know!" Minhee and Eunsang said.
"I was the one who thought of the designs!" Wooseok added.
"Yohan just wrapped the box and he gave it to you." Hangyul said.
"Okay okay!" Yohan said.
"Noona, we have a gift for you." Hyeongjun said and he gave me a pink box. It was an explosion box.
"It is so cute. I really like it."
"We make it overnight just to be perfect." Junho said.
"Thank you everyone."

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.
