Now We Both Look Asian

The mushroom cloud was enough to darken the clear sky for minutes on end. That wasn't my major concern; i just had to find Micah, and i had to find her fast. We had to stick together --- to survive. After all, we had no one. No one at all. The cloud gradually cleared; but there, i realized there were worst problems.

“Your scholarship has been revoked! You can either clear up the entire year's fees or leave this institution.” “How much is it? I just hope it doesn't exceed a 100…” “A $100k? Memoville? It's $2, 295, 000. 00.” “Hello, Arthur. I need a $100, 000, 000. 00.” “Done, young master.” ***** Benjamin was the campus joke… right up until the secret he never knew came crashing into his life. Betrayed by his girlfriend. Kicked out by his adoptive family. Mocked by everyone. All until a phone call arrived with one message: “Young Master, we’ve finally found you.” Turns out the “nobody” they bullied is the lost heir of a multibillion-dollar empire. Now Benjamin isn’t just back… He’s back to destroy everyone who thought he was beneath them. If they wanted a weakling, they should’ve bullied someone else.

Axel is a trained demon hunter who came to Jakarta with one single mission: to wipe out every creature that strays beyond the bounds of humanity. Rules drilled into him since childhood have taught him to see the world in nothing but black and white—until he meets Rena, the shadow mage who was supposed to be his target. Their first encounter ends in a deadly fight that Axel fails to finish, and what follows becomes a long chase that leads him to an unexpected truth. Rena is nothing like the threat he was told she is. She is just another survivor fighting to stay alive and protect those around her. As understanding slowly grows between them, the organization that raised Axel learns what he has found. He is branded a traitor, Rena is labeled a dangerous instigator, and both are now hunted by the very people Axel once called comrades. Their only chance to survive is to cross into the shadow realm, a place with no guarantee of ever returning. Now Axel must choose: cling to the rules he has always followed, rules built on lies, or stand beside the only person who never asked him to be just a weapon.

They used to call me a nobody at Walter’s Regal...a nerdy, expendable novice architect buried in the basement, scrubbing the footprints of London’s elite off plans they stole from me. Then, I found the anomaly. Buried deep within ancient Crown property registries and centuries-old blueprints was a loophole so massive, it could bring the entire London skyline to its knees. I didn’t just find a flaw in the system; I bought it. With a few obscure land titles secured for pennies, I quietly took ownership of the very ground beneath their multi-million-pound mega-structures. Overnight, the tables turned. Money became my sharpest weapon, and capital my ultimate leverage. Now, those same billionaires who sneered at me are begging for my mercy as I systematically freeze their assets, bankrupt my former oppressors, and construct an untouchable empire of my own. I am Jayson Velasco. I went from the weakest link in the corporate machine to the most feared, filthy-rich tycoon in Europe. Look up at the London skyline. Every tower, every shadow, every brick belongs to me now. If you want to build in my city, you bow to my blueprint.

As they entered the grand foyer, Sonia felt overwhelmed by the opulence surrounding her. Crystal chandeliers hung from high ceilings, and priceless artwork adorned the walls. It was a far cry from the life she had known. Once they were alone in one of the spacious rooms, Tyler turned to Sonia. With gentle hands, he reached for her veil. "May I?" he asked softly. Sonia hesitated, her heart racing. After a moment, she nodded, closing her eyes as the veil fell away. "You're beautiful, Sonia," Tyler said, his voice filled with sincerity. Sonia's eyes flew open in surprise. "How can you say that? My face... it's..." "a part of who you are?," Tyler finished the sentence for her. "And you are beautiful." He paused, his expression growing serious. "Now, we need to take care of those injuries from earlier." "What do you mean?" Sonia asked....

"These are pretty minuscule spies, my lord," The leader said into his comms. They chattered among themselves. We had our hands up when they surrounded us. My throat clogged and I was running out of oxygen. I could barely think or breath. Mister Wigglesworth was talking briskly with bulging eyes to the colossal men and a rifle was lodged in his throat, he seemed frail and agitated. "Mort!" He threw the parcel into his hands. Mort winced when he failed to catch it. The box malfunctioned and I screamed at the blast and fell back into the shelter of more craters. I gasped. "What do I do with this?" His hand fidgeted on the and he dived behind a crate beside me while lasers flew. He panted and glanced at me holding on to the parcel. There was a skirmish going on. "I think I got hit." .... Remember when homicidal aliens were attacking us? This was now, yeah, it was kind of my fault. We were crouching like a couple of cowardly war veterans on a battlefield and Mister Wigglesworth! Of all people was out there holding them off. Mort held on to the prism parcel. My eyes were pale. I got hit by the parcel. I held on to my stomach. "Are you okay? Can you sit up straight?" He said. "No, it hurts," I did not feel like myself at all. I was not even in the mood to make snappy comebacks, I kept seeing double and all these color spectrums like I stared at the sun for too long. I was phasing in and out of consciousness. I thought I saw planets dying. I ducked over the end and focused on breath. [ System Activated ]
