Jennie's POV
I slowly open up my eyes and the first thing I immediately see is Lisa's face that's inches away from me making my eyes shot wide open as I keep a couple more distance away.
"Good morning Jennie Kim" she says smiling so wide and she put her arm around my waist making me freeze
"What the hell do you think you're doing? " I said grabbing her arm and throwing it away from my waist making her furrow
"You're hugging me last night" she pointed out while pouting
"And what about it? Get over it" I said and flicked her forehead making her groan. I sit up and get out of her bed.
"Where are you going, Nini? Let's cuddle " she said in her aegyo making me look back at her and gave her a death glare. She put her arms up in surrender as she lay down again.
"I'm going to have breakfast, if you want to join me then whatever" I said and walk downstairs seeing Kuma immediately as I picked him up and started peppering him with kisses
"I wish I'm Kuma" I heard Lisa groan from behind me and I just ignored her while putting Kuma down
"Feed Kuma I'll cook kimchi fried rice " I said and walk towards the fridge to get the ingredients.
"Nini, I'm done feeding Kuma can I help you? " she asked making me roll my eyes at how annoying she is this morning. "What will I do? " she asked not even bothering to wait for my approval.
"Cut this onion and garlic" I said and slide it all towards her. I grab an apron and put it on as I throw Lisa her apron
"You can put it on me" she said making me roll my eyes and she chuckled while putting it on.

I prepared everything before turning the stove on.
"Are you done cutting it all? " I asked looking towards Lisa who's sniffing. She turned her head towards me and I can see how much she's crying
"Almost... This onion sucks" she said looking back at the onion and I turn my head back to the pan as well... I didn't even know that I started smiling from that...
Maybe I just did.
Once she finished, she gave me everything and run towards the sink to wash her face while I started cooking for the both of us.
"Nini can you add a sunnyside up? " she asked with two eggs in her hand. I grab it from her and prepared another pan to fry it both
"Lisa" I started while she's busy digging in her kimchi fried rice so she just hummed to let me continue "were you having a nightmare last night? " I asked making her stop eating but she kept her eyes on the bowl of fried rice "what was that nightmare about?" I asked once again and she kept her eyes on the fried rice before looking up at me and immediately putting on a smile
"It's nothing... You know the monster type of thing" she says and looked back at her food and kept eating. I wanted to question her more cause you won't cry without a deeper reason.
Maybe it's about her parents so I didn't push the subject and just dropped it. After we ate everything Lisa walk towards the stove and looked at the pan
"You're not yet done? " I asked but she shakes her head while looking towards me
"We won't eat it, all right? Do you mind if I give it all to the security team? " she asked making me furrow my brows "they don't get to eat while they're on duty so I'll give this to them" she said asking for my permission so I just nodded and walk towards the living room. Later on, I saw Lisa walking out of the kitchen with some bowls and spoons, that's when Mr. Kang went in and saw Lisa so he immediately jogs towards her and helped her

"Mr. Kang give this to the security team, they might be hungry and nini cooked a lot" she said confusing Mr. Kang since I haven't been like that to them... Lisa's just different
"Alright.. I'll distribute this. Ms. Kim the car's ready" he said so I stood up shutting the tv off
"Where are you going, Nini? " Lisa asked
"I have a meeting in Vietnam, you're coming with me" I said and walk towards them
"Nini why the hell will you just say it so sudden when I haven't even packed yet is this how rich people go to a meeting?" she said making me roll my eyes
"I let someone pack your clothes already and we'll just stay for 2 days. Go take a shower" I said
"By the way, I'm just gonna go down to the security team to distribute these... Thank you, Lisa, your parents must be so proud of you" he said and I immediately look towards Lisa being sensitive about the topic
"I hope so" she said looking down a bit and plastering a slight smile before walking upstairs
"Mr. Kang can you not mention her parents? " I said looking over at him and I can see the guilt on his face
"I'm sorry, it just slipped out of my mouth. " he said bowing a little for an apology
"Mr. Kang, why did Lisa's parents die? " I asked once again looking at him
"I told you about it already Ms . Kim. Her parents died because of a car accident" he said. It doesn't make sense cause why will she say sorry to her parents while dreaming of them. She's not even with them when they died.
"Can you please look more to it, tell me if you find something out" I said making him nod.
---
I walked out from my room down to the living room and saw Lisa sitting there already wearing a long sleeve crop top and baggy jeans
"Wouldn't you put any makeup on? " I asked while petting Kuma who's beside Lisa
"I'll just put on a mask and do it on the plane before we land" she says so I nodded and grabbed my bag and walked out

Yet their destinies get strangely entangled. And if that weren't enough, A.S. itself decides our young, hapless hero is just the person it needs for a spot of undercover work...

8 77A cute duckling in an ugly world
A twist on an old story. A cute duckling in an ugly demon world. A cute demon that starts with nothing, fighting trough the world, the insults, laughter of others at her appearance and other demons making fun of her for being cute, for being different. But she doesn't grow into a monstrous swan. No, that's not how her story ends. ------------------------------- I didn't use any movies, books or series for inspiration the story is my original work. This is just the result of my weird imagination and brain telling me what to write. I hope you liked it :) It’s just a story, like all of my other stores. It doesn’t have a deeper spiritual, moral or ethical meaning.

Follow Corvayne as he fights throngs of monsters and explores totally-not-Seattle with Wick, his foul mouthed girlfriend. Along the way Corvayne will accumulate a rotating party of friends and misfits, journey into through dungeons full of dangers and loot, and learn to use a bevy of strange powers as he faces threats inside the mysterious 'Towers' and through the city of Cascadia, which hosts secrets of it's own, all while trying to unravel his tangled past.

8 239Unique Fusion Magic Hex
World Essence. The mysterious energy coursing throughout the entire land of Vor'ten, and very possibly the entire world. This energy has allowed humanity to flourish, building great empires and vast kingdoms, conquering nature itself with just a sweep of their hand. Humans were the strongest existence, and with the help of channeling this World Essence, many were able to turn into Magic Knights, gaining magical abilities to combat the various fierce beasts throughout the lands.Alas... those glory days of old were long gone. Humanity has now been pushed to the brink of destruction, and now the remaining members of the human race are encased within giant domes known as 'Alkkras', made with the last remaining bits of the World Essence. It was said that those giant domes were the last gifts left by the remnants of the ancient human race, as a means to protect the future generation from the attacks of the many wild beasts roaming outside. Five Spiritualist Invokers, all combined together, used the last bit of the World Essence and sacrificed their lives to lay a gigantic, 1028-seal formation magic array to form these barriers, forever saving humanity, but also trapping humanity within these barriers.However, the humans were never completely helpless. No matter how little World Essence was left, the humans still had some remaining. Realizing the incoming crisis, the humans found a way to seal World Essence inside a special type of crystal. Soon, these crystals began to become implanted into weapons, turning them into World Essence Weapons, and they began to display properties of their own. Extreme heat. Bone chilling cold. Absurd sharpness. These normal weapons, after being imbued with the energy of the World Essence Crystals, began to form natural affinities to elements. Fire. Water. Earth. Wind. Darkness. Light. Using these weapons, one could become a Chevalier that wielded the power of the elements.However, if one wanted to reach a higher level of enlightenment and understanding, one could become an Invoker. Via the study of magic array formations, one could directly use the power of the World Essence to cast devastating magics upon the enemy. These people were Invokers, highly valued for their combat potential by the Army. These weapons and magical arrays were used in the great fight between the humans and the beasts long ago. They had long since been put away in storage, almost long forgotten...However, after ten-thousand years of suppression, the human race is beginning its counterattack against the Beasts... Synth was an Invoker in the Magecroft Academy. However, his talent was terrible, being only at the Spark Stage. This led to him being looked down upon and bullied. He was unable to cast any Calamity-rank or even Destruction rank spells, and was only able to cast Coalescing rank spells at the age of 17, a record low in the academy for cultivating these rare Invokers. Even though he put in more effort than anyone else, he was still unable to advance his Channeling Energy. But due to his constant research and study, Synth ended up creating a power that would go against the heavens - he had found how to Fuse spells together. After trying it out once, merging the magical array for the Small Fireball and the Mortal Judgement skills, he was able to create a mid-rank Destruction tier spell, Holy Judgement Flame. However, after this, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to fuse more spells together or even cast them, and noticed a weird, pentagram shaped formation on his left arm. He would later call this mark the Fusion Magic Hex, a curse that prevented the wielder from casting magic that wasn't their own...This meant that with the exception of Synth's newly created skill, , he was going to have to create unique magic arrays if he ever wanted to step on the path of becoming an Invoker! This power that destroyed the laws of the Invoking System, and his unyielding persistence in testing and creating new spells, would later gain Synth the nickname the Unique Fusion Hex, and lead him to become one of the strongest beings in the entire World!
