Chapter 328: 328
[BONUS]
Ren guided his parents into the elevator and crossed the crystal bridge, which connected every building in the area.
“How much do cars cost here, usually?” Troy asked as they stepped into the showroom of LuxGravity0. Despite not knowing a specific range, he at least could tell that one car here cost as much as a house and lot, or maybe even more than that.
When they got inside, a well-built man who introduced himself as Mr. Lee welcomed them. Contrary to the ingratiating smiles from the staff of the previous dealership, Mr. Lee was a formal guy who wore a no-nonsense expression. One could immediately tell that he was all about business and was very professional — the kind who wouldn’t take any customer lightly, no matter the upbringing.
Mr. Lee showed them several cars lined up in the showroom. “What kind of car do you want?
“I don’t know,” Ren replied in all honesty. “We’re looking for a bachelor’s car, a family car, and a small car that’s easy to park.” He didn’t know the hell what he was talking about.
Mr. Lee nodded in understanding. “Understood.”
“They look all so . . . expensive!” Helen exclaimed as she stared at the luxury cars inside LuxGravity0’s showroom.
Troy was also taken aback by all the fancy things on display.
As for Ren? Well . . . nothing. He just wanted to get this done and over with.
All the vehicles around here already made him feel like he was in some sort of a rich man’s heaven. It didn’t help when his mother kept exclaiming about how nice it was to finally have a car or that they should pick the less expensive one.
“Is there any way to negotiate the price?” Troy asked Ren when Mr. Lee finished introducing them to a BMW Sedan.
“If you buy three cars, you can get a huge discount,” said Mr. Lee.

“Let’s check the other cars and make our decisions later.” Ren was about to go to another section when a confident voice called out his name from behind.
“Ren?” It was Isolde’s voice, followed by a laugh. “You’re here to buy a car too?”
Ren turned around to find Isolde smiling widely at him, looking like she would go on a hunting spree. She wore a white hooded jacket and sweatpants, which she paired with sneakers. Her long black hair was tied into a high ponytail.
“Isolde,” Ren was surprised. “Yes. Are you here to buy one too?”
Isolde shrugged and grinned. Though she was berating herself for not wearing a dress. She would’ve dolled up more if she had known that Ren was here.
“Four, actually,” she said with a laugh. “It’s my father’s gift to me for killing the World Boss. I actually wanted a rifle and a bazooka like the one I use in the game, but the construction of my room’s expansion isn’t finished yet, so I don’t have any room to place them.”
“. . . I see . . . rich people sure have it rough,” said Ren with a sarcastic tone.
Isolde then waved her hands at Ren’s parents and greeted them politely, “Hello.”
Ren then introduced everyone to each other. After that, he faced his parents and said, “You guys can go ahead and look for a car that you like. I’ll just be with Isolde for a moment.”
Isolde regretted grabbing the first clothes she saw for her outfit. How could she look like this on a mini-date with Ren? This was her chance! Even though she knew it was in vain.
When Troy and Helen left, Ren immediately asked Isolde, “Can you help me pick a car?”
Isolde blinked when she heard the desperation in Ren’s voice. “Er . . . sure? What do you have in mind?” For more chapters, please visit pan(da-n0vel.c)om

“Something that . . . fits my character?” Ren was clueless when it came to this.
p-a- n-d-a-n-0-v-e-l、(c)om However, Isolde was the opposite. She casually led Ren to a Maserati VXO47. “This car is a top-of-the-line sports car with an engine that can blow away even a Lamborghini. The car’s interior is also as luxurious as any 5-star hotel.”
“Hmm . . . I don’t know . . . the color is . . . too bright?” Ren didn’t want to appear arrogant. He just wanted something classy. Expensive but low-key and sophisticated. Not expensive and flashy.
Isolde then suggested a few more cars as she and Ren checked out different vehicles on display. All the cars were very expensive, but Ren could afford all of them. Unfortunately, they were all too . . . ‘loud’ for his taste.
And then, he saw it.
Bugatti . . . all black.
“Nice choice,” Isolde said.
She continued to explain like a seasoned car dealer, “This is Bugatti X4070, the latest car in the market. Each one of these is made by preorder. The leather seats are all custom, as well as all its interiors. You can choose the color of the car too . . . This one is in all sleek black. It possesses a couple of sweet tech like a 7.0L twin-turbocharged, XVi70 engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission. There’s also a reverse butterfly indoors
, and instead of wheels, it levitates on spheres.
“It also has a power pact with double wishbones and an Armstrong shock absorber. It also incorporates an impressive advanced technology automotive crash structure made of nanotech materials. This baby can kick up 300 horsepower and reach a top speed of 200 km/hr. The vehicle is installed with the latest turbocharging technologies and systems to attain additional power and altitude. The ultra-lightweight wheels enable it to land on tarmac, concrete, grass, and even your rooftop.
“What’s more, the vehicle’s interior is designed with advanced safety technologies and features such as pyrotechnic seat belts and dual-stage airbags. The vehicle also incorporates built-in vehicle recovery ballistics parachutes to avoid crash landings.”
Ren didn’t really understand most of that, but he made up his mind. “I want this.”
Isolde snapped her finger, and the staff clamored to her. “My friend said that he wanted this car. When can you send it to him?”
“This car is made by preorder . . . probably within a month.”
“. . .” Isolde’s big eyes stared at the staff, and they all looked away. She then faced Ren with a smile. “It’s all yours within a week.”
Ren wasn’t paying attention to the conversation, and all he thought of was whether Evie would like the car. Come to think of it . . . what was her favorite color? He could at least change the color of the interiors according to his preference.
“Do you think girls will like riding this car?” Ren blurted without thought.
Isolde was caught off guard before realization struck her like a lightning bolt. Ren was buying a car because he was planning to take Evie for a ride. Was that it? Men like to buy car to impress women and it was very handy to have on dates.
Isolde took a deep breath, and her answer was as dead as her face.
“Yeah. I mean . . . I would be happy if you asked me to ride it.”
Ren patted Isolde’s shoulder. “Thanks. I’ll see you around in the game.”
Ren was too excited to buy the car that he didn’t notice anything strange with Isolde’s expression.
Isolde could only scratch her head and kick dust as she took a step back.
Eventually, Ren purchased the Bugatti X4070 and a Mercedes Benz XOZ470,

Tale of Family - Book 1 - WIP
The world is peaceful in 2063. Fusion reactor and Diamon battery had taken care of the energetical problem. Countries were stable. Automation was everywhere. Life wasn't hard anymore, at least not in the United States of Europe. Summer break is about to start and, finally, Zoe will turn 18 and be able to play the game, Binding Fate. A simple video game, a vrmmo, but what swam under its surface wasn't simple. Power, fame and money were but the tip of the iceberg... State: Hiatus because I've an idea for another story. Quick F.A.Q. : - Yuri/female homosexual relation? Yes.- Yaoi/male homosexual relation? Maybe.- Explicit Sexual Content? Maybe.- Full Fledged Tragedy? No. Never, ever ever.- Body Modification/Body Horror? Yes. (Note: what one person think is body horror can be acceptable for someone else. If you want to see to what length I can go, read a bit of The Other Labyrinth. However, I won't go as high as quickly in the body mod/horror, so relax.- Gore? Hell yeah! I love gore! spraying blood and viscera etc...- Torture? Hurgh... maybe? Idk. Not at the start at the very least.- Memory loss/erasing? No, or at least not permanently. I basically hate this trope because it's like taking out all the character grow from a character, destroying everything that makes them what and who they are. so no.- Overpowered protagonist? You will see mufufu...- Will characters stay relevant seeing how numerous they are? YES, MOTHERFUCKING YES, I hate when characters relevance decay over time for no good reasons ^^'- Plot Armor? First of all, a definition: "Sometimes referred to as "Script Immunity" or a "Character Shield", Plot Armor is when a main character's life and health are safeguarded by the fact that he's the one person who can't be removed from the story. Therefore, whenever Bob is in a situation where he could be killed (or at the least very seriously injured), he comes out unharmed with no logical, in-universe explanation." (courtesy of https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlotArmor I love you guys ^^) So now that this is said, do my characters have plot armour? No, because I always have an in-universe explanation, even if you don't know it yet ^^ Something is illogical or don't make sense? Read more, the answer is surely in the story ^u^- Balanced system? If you want to crush numbers and have a perfect equation balancing all the system, that's not the story for you. The system is more like a living being, and the rewards aren't forcibly tied to the level of the player. In fact, the system is purposely unbalanced ^^' Author's note: My goal here is to write a slow-paced story revolving around the bonds linking the characters, be them family, friends or lovers. Fight will be part of it, but I intend to build an actual interesting world before making truly large-scale battle happen, because the bigger a battle is, the larger its causes and effects are. I also aim at telling a story about how the characters actually help each other becoming stronger, more stable and happier. I particularly despise the lone MC type that becomes so powerful that every other character of the current setting become irrelevant beside being hostage targets, so this will not happen. I also like crafting, arrays, blacksmithing etc... so there may be crafting. Another thing I like is management game like sim-city or the like, so this while also appears, keeping in mind that I like MC's that make people around them stronger... For the tropers around here, a list of tropes that I like to use (note that I may not use all of them ^^) (this list will be updated as I dive deeper and deeper into our dear trope wiki.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BodyHorror- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SealedGoodInACan- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouAreNotAlone- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ZombieAdvocate (In particular since I see a lot of things that aren't human as worthy to live and to live with)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasLovedOnes- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasStandards- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeelFaceTurn- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CorruptTheCutie (Note: being corrupted don't mean you're a villain, only different than before.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DefectingForLove (Of course.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VillainousRescue- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InterspeciesAdoption (For the same reasons as zombie advocate, since I love family stuff)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrokenBird (to go with corrupt the cutie if it's a girl)Cover: "The Bard" by John Martin, 1817.

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
