Chapter 31 – The Night Everyone Lost Their Minds The dorm was chaos. Absolute chaos. And the reason? Jennie still couldn’t decide what to wear. ⸻ She stood in front of her closet. Her blonde hair was curled perfectly, but her outfit choices were covering half her bed. “Why is this harder than performing in front of hundreds of people?” ⸻ The door suddenly opened. Lisa walked in. Her ash-blonde hair with bangs was styled perfectly, and she wore a black jacket with a sparkly top, cargo pants, and boots. She looked around. “Wow.” “What?” “You have created a clothing disaster.” Jennie crossed her arms. “I need help.” Lisa smiled. “I knew this day would come.” ⸻ Jennie held up two outfits. “Which one?” Lisa stared seriously. “Hmm.” A pause. “Felix would like the first one.” Jennie froze. “How do you know?” Lisa shrugged. “Because Felix is a boy.” “That explains nothing.” ⸻ Lisa picked up another outfit. “Actually, wear this one.” “Why?” “Because it says mysterious DJ.” Jennie nodded. “Okay.” “Wait.” Lisa grabbed another dress. “Actually this one says powerful.” Jennie blinked. “So which one?” Lisa thought. “Both.” “Lisa.” “Okay, okay. The dress.” ⸻ After another twenty minutes… Jennie finally decided. She wore a sleek black dress with silver details, a cropped jacket, and black boots. Her blonde hair fell in soft waves around her face, and her DJ-style accessories completed the look. She looked confident. Different. ⸻ When she walked downstairs… Everyone stopped. ⸻ Han’s mouth dropped open. His messy brown hair was sticking up, and he wore a denim jacket over a hoodie with black jeans. “Okay.” “What?” “I forgot how to speak.” Jennie raised an eyebrow. “That might be the first peaceful moment you’ve ever created.” ⸻ Rosé smiled. Her lavender hair was styled softly, and she wore a pastel jacket with a black outfit. “You look amazing.” Jisoo nodded. Her red hair was tied back elegantly, and she wore a stylish black outfit with boots. “Definitely.” ⸻ Hyunjin dramatically looked up. His blond hair was perfectly styled, and he wore a black jacket with layered accessories. “The main character has arrived.” Han sighed. “Please stop.” ⸻ Then Felix walked downstairs. His black hair was styled neatly, and he wore a black button-up shirt with a jacket, dark jeans, and sneakers. He stopped. Completely stopped. ⸻ Jennie noticed. “What?” Felix blinked. “Nothing.” “Felix.” He looked away. “You just…” A pause. “You look really good.” ⸻ Everyone immediately reacted. ⸻ Han pointed. “HE FAILED.” Felix looked confused. “What?” “You tried to hide the blush.” “I wasn’t blushing.” Lisa laughed. “You absolutely were.” ⸻ Jennie smiled. “Are you okay, basketball boy?” Felix recovered. “Yeah.” “Because your face says otherwise.” Everyone laughed. ⸻ Later… The group arrived at the dance event. Music filled the room. Lights flashed. Everyone was having the best time. ⸻ Jennie stepped onto the dance floor. And Felix forgot everything else. ⸻ He had seen Jennie confident before. On stage. During roast battles. During competitions. But this was different. She was just happy. Laughing. Dancing. Not caring what anyone thought. ⸻ Felix smiled. Han noticed. “You are staring.” Felix looked away. “I am not.” “You are.” “I was just watching.” “Exactly.” ⸻ Felix looked back. And somehow… He knew. He was completely falling for her. ⸻ Meanwhile… The rest of the group became a disaster. ⸻ Jisoo was trying to teach everyone a dance move. “I am the instructor.” Han looked confused. “You don’t know the dance.” “I know the spirit of the dance.” ⸻ Hyunjin joined. “The movement represents freedom.” Han stared. “It’s literally just jumping.” ⸻ Rosé laughed so hard she had to sit down. Lisa recorded everything. “This is going to be used against all of you forever.” ⸻ Jennie walked over. “What is happening?” Han pointed. “Art.” Jennie looked at everyone. “This is the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen.” Felix smiled. “And you love it.” She paused. “…Maybe.” ⸻ At the end of the night… Everyone was exhausted. They arrived back at the dorm laughing. ⸻ Felix helped Jennie walk to her room because she was tired from dancing all night. “Careful.” “I’m fine.” “You almost walked into the wall.” “The wall moved.” Felix laughed. “The wall moved?” “Yes.” ⸻ He opened her bedroom door. “There.” Jennie looked at him. Then suddenly pointed. “You.” “What?” “You are officially my assistant.” Felix blinked. “Excuse me?” “Carry my trophy tomorrow.” “No.” “Wow.” She shook her head dramatically. “After all our friendship?” Felix laughed. “You are impossible.” ⸻ Before leaving, Felix placed her trophy safely on her desk. Then he smiled. “Goodnight, Jennie.” She looked at him. For once… No roast. No comeback. Just a smile. “Goodnight, Felix.” ⸻ He turned to leave. Then Jennie called: “Felix.” He looked back. “Yeah?” She smirked. “Your dancing was terrible.” He laughed. “There she is.” ⸻ And as he walked away smiling… Felix realized something. The girl who used to drive him crazy… Was now the person he never wanted to stop being around.

It didn’t happen all at once. It happened the way most big decisions do— quietly, between schedules, late-night talks, and the kind of conversations that start as jokes and slowly stop being jokes. ⸻ Jisoo was the first to say it seriously. “We should have a place that isn’t borrowed.” ⸻ Jennie laughed at first. “We already have apartments.” Then she paused. “…But I know what you mean.” ⸻ Rosé said it softer. “A place that feels like us, not schedules.” ⸻ And Lisa just looked at them for a moment. Her brown hair tied loosely, casual clothes, no stage energy—just real life. “…Then let’s do it.” ⸻ That was the beginning. ⸻ They found the house together. Not huge. Not flashy. Just warm. Glass and wood. Light-filled rooms. A kitchen that felt like it was already waiting for laughter. ⸻ When they walked inside for the first time— it didn’t feel like buying property. It felt like recognition. ⸻ Jisoo stood in the living room first, dark wavy hair falling softly over her cream-toned outfit. “It’s calm,” she said. ⸻ Jennie leaned against the counter, straight dark hair loose over a black blazer and top. “It has potential.” ⸻ Rosé stood by the window, blonde hair glowing in soft waves. “It feels like mornings.” ⸻ Lisa walked through the space slowly, brown hair loose, hoodie and relaxed pants, fingers brushing the edge of the table. “It feels like us already.” ⸻ ⸻ They bought it. Together. Four names. Four signatures. One shared key. ⸻ And over time— it became their place. ⸻ Not a permanent residence for all of them. Not a replacement for their own lives. But a shared home between worlds. ⸻ Where they came when they were tired. Where they came when they were loud. Where they came when they didn’t want to be anything except themselves. ⸻ Years later— Noah, now a 5-year-old boy, ran through the living room the moment Lisa opened the door. “I still remember this place!” he announced. ⸻ Ari followed more calmly, adjusting her sweater. “We were here last week,” she corrected. ⸻ Noah nodded. “So I have strong memory.” ⸻ Lisa sighed. “That’s not how memory works.” ⸻ ⸻ Jennie dropped her bag by the couch. “This house is still too quiet before we arrive.” ⸻ Jisoo removed her shoes neatly. “That’s because chaos hasn’t entered yet.” ⸻ Rosé smiled softly. “It waits for us.” ⸻ Lisa looked around the room— the house they chose together. The house that didn’t belong to one of them. But belonged to all four. ⸻ “…We really did this,” she said quietly. ⸻ Jennie smirked. “Unfortunately, yes.” ⸻ Jisoo nodded. “Fortunately.” ⸻ Rosé added gently. “Completely.” ⸻ Noah raised his hand. “I vote we never sell it.” ⸻ Ari raised hers too. “I agree.” ⸻ Lisa looked at them all— at BLACKPINK. at the house. at the life they built between everything else. ⸻ Then smiled faintly. “…Motion passed.” ⸻ And the house— as always— felt like it agreed too.
⸻ CHAPTER: “SMALL TABLE, BIG SILENCE (JUST THEM)” ⸻ The rest of the restaurant faded into background noise. Soft clinking dishes. Distant conversations. Warm lighting that made everything feel slower than it actually was. But at this corner table— the world had narrowed. ⸻ Lisa sat with Noah and Ari on either side of her. And across from them— I.N. ⸻ Lisa’s brown hair was slightly messy now, loose strands falling near her cheeks as she leaned forward over the table. She had taken off her hoodie earlier, leaving a simple black fitted top with cargo pants—comfortable, relaxed, fully out of “airport mode” and into something quieter. Her expression had softened completely. Not performer. Not public figure. Just mom who finally stopped moving. ⸻ Noah sat on her right, swinging his legs under the chair, hoodie slightly oversized, eyes locked on the food like it was a mission. Ari sat on her left, pastel jacket unzipped now, hair slightly loosened, leaning into Lisa’s side every few minutes like she needed contact to stay anchored. ⸻ Lisa gently nudged Ari’s plate closer. “Eat that first.” ⸻ Ari frowned. “But I want that one.” ⸻ Lisa shook her head. “That one is sugar pretending to be happiness.” ⸻ Noah immediately looked up. “I like sugar happiness.” ⸻ Lisa pointed at him without looking. “You already had sugar happiness this morning.” ⸻ Noah paused. “…True.” ⸻ Across the table, I.N watched quietly. His hair was softly styled, slightly parted from travel, and he wore a simple neutral jacket over a plain shirt with relaxed pants—calm, understated, not trying to stand out, just present. He didn’t interrupt. He just observed the rhythm of them. ⸻ Ari suddenly turned toward him. “Are you quiet because you’re shy?” ⸻ I.N blinked. “…A little.” ⸻ Noah leaned forward. “Or are you quiet because Mom talks a lot?” ⸻ Lisa immediately looked at Noah. “That was unnecessary.” ⸻ I.N smiled faintly. “It’s… not inaccurate.” ⸻ Lisa sighed deeply. “Traitor table.” ⸻ Ari giggled into her drink. ⸻ The food arrived in small plates, warm steam rising. Lisa immediately took a small bite from each kid’s plate without warning. ⸻ Noah stared. “That’s unfair.” ⸻ Lisa nodded. “Yes.” ⸻ Ari copied her. “You’re just checking.” ⸻ Lisa nodded again. “Yes.” ⸻ Noah leaned back. “This system is corrupt.” ⸻ Lisa pointed at him again. “You’re still eating.” ⸻ That shut him up instantly. ⸻ I.N finally spoke softly. “You do this often?” ⸻ Lisa didn’t look up. “Daily survival protocol.” ⸻ Ari tugged her sleeve. “Mom, you’re funny today.” ⸻ Lisa paused for a fraction of a second. Then softened. “I always am.” ⸻ Noah raised an eyebrow. “No you’re not.” ⸻ Lisa leaned toward him slightly. “I am when I’m not tired.” ⸻ I.N’s gaze softened a little. “So… today is a good day.” ⸻ Lisa nodded once. “Today is a finished day.” ⸻ Ari leaned against her again. “I like finished days.” ⸻ Lisa gently rested her hand on Ari’s head. “Me too.” ⸻ A quiet moment followed. Not empty. Just full in a different way. ⸻ Noah finally asked: “Are you happy now?” ⸻ Lisa didn’t answer immediately. She looked at both kids. Then at the table. Then across at I.N. ⸻ Her voice came softer than before. “…Yes.” ⸻ Noah nodded like that was the only acceptable answer. ⸻ Ari smiled. “Good.” ⸻ I.N exhaled quietly, almost smiling. “That’s important.” ⸻ Lisa leaned back slightly in her chair, brown hair falling naturally around her face, no longer styled, no longer controlled. Just her. ⸻ “I don’t need loud days,” she said softly. “Just days that end like this.” ⸻ Noah tilted his head. “With food?” ⸻ Lisa nodded. “With food.” ⸻ Ari added: “And us?” ⸻ Lisa didn’t hesitate. “Always you.” ⸻ A small silence settled. Warm. Stable. Real. ⸻ And for the first time all day— there was nothing to fix, nothing to plan, nothing to perform. ⸻ Just a mother, two children, and someone quietly sitting across from them… sharing a moment that didn’t need an audience to matter.
Chapter 38 – The Dream College Letters The day everyone had been waiting for finally arrived. College acceptance day. ⸻ The dorm was more chaotic than usual. Which was impressive. ⸻ Jennie sat on the couch staring at her laptop. Her blonde hair was tied in a loose ponytail, and she wore an oversized black hoodie, baggy jeans, and sneakers. She looked calm. Too calm. Felix noticed. “You’ve been staring at that screen for ten minutes.” “I’m thinking.” “About?” “Whether I should open it.” Felix blinked. “It’s an email.” “It’s an important email.” “You’re scared of an email?” Jennie looked at him. “I’m scared of disappointment.” For once… Felix didn’t tease her. ⸻ “You worked hard.” She looked at him. “You know that, right?” Jennie smiled slightly. “You’re being nice again.” “Don’t get used to it.” She smirked. “Too late.” ⸻ Then… Han ran into the room. His brown hair was completely messy, and he wore his green hoodie and jeans. “I GOT IN!” Everyone jumped. ⸻ Lisa looked up. Her ash-blonde hair with bangs was tied back, and she wore a black jacket and cargo pants. “Han, you scared me.” “I couldn’t contain my greatness.” Jisoo walked in behind him. Her red hair was neatly styled, and she wore a cream sweater with black pants. “You mean you couldn’t contain your screaming.” “Same thing.” ⸻ Rosé opened her email next. Her lavender hair fell over her shoulders as she smiled. “I got in too.” Everyone cheered. ⸻ Hyunjin dramatically held his phone. His blond hair was perfectly styled, and he wore a black sweater with layered accessories. “I have received my destiny.” Han looked over. “Just say you got accepted.” “I was being dramatic.” “We know.” ⸻ One by one… The letters came in. ⸻ Lisa got accepted into her dream program. Rosé got accepted into her dream music college. Jisoo got accepted into her dream university. Han got accepted into the college he wanted, even after everyone doubted his ability to stay focused. Hyunjin got accepted into his dream arts program. ⸻ Finally… Everyone looked at Jennie and Felix. ⸻ Felix opened his first. He stared. Then smiled. “I got in.” Everyone cheered. ⸻ Jennie smiled. “Of course you did, basketball boy.” Felix looked at her. “That’s your congratulations?” “Yes.” “Wow.” “You expected something else?” “Maybe.” “Too bad.” ⸻ Then Jennie opened hers. Silence. ⸻ She read the email. Her eyes widened. Felix noticed. “Jennie?” She looked up. “I got in.” ⸻ The room exploded. ⸻ Han screamed. Lisa hugged her. Rosé started cheering. Jisoo smiled proudly. Hyunjin declared: “This is the beginning of a new era.” ⸻ Felix smiled the biggest. “You did it.” Jennie looked at everyone. She wasn’t usually emotional. But this time… She was. ⸻ “I actually did it.” Felix nodded. “You did.” ⸻ Later that evening… Everyone celebrated. There was food everywhere. Music playing. Pictures being taken. ⸻ Han held up his phone. “Group picture!” Everyone gathered. ⸻ Jennie stood beside Felix. Han looked at them. “Move closer.” “No.” “Yes.” “We’re already standing next to each other.” “Not enough.” ⸻ Lisa laughed. “Han, stop forcing moments.” “I am creating memories.” ⸻ The photo was taken. Everyone laughing. Everyone smiling. ⸻ Afterward… Jennie looked at the picture. A year ago… She didn’t know any of them. She thought Felix was just a popular athlete. He thought she was just a cold DJ who insulted everyone. Now… They were family. ⸻ Felix looked at the photo. “Ready for college?” Jennie shrugged. “Maybe.” “Maybe?” “I’m ready.” She smiled. “But don’t think college means you escape my roasts.” Felix laughed. “I knew there was a catch.” ⸻ The future was changing. New schools. New challenges. New chapters. But one thing was certain… Wherever they went… The chaos would follow.
# THE NULL SOVEREIGN ## CHAPTER 1 — THE SILENT PILLAR ### SEQUENCE 01 — THE AWAKENING PLAZA **PANEL 01 — EXTREME WIDE** The **Awakening Plaza of Asterion** stretches across the page. Thousands upon thousands of people fill the marble square. White-and-gold marble reflects the morning sun. At the eastern edge rises the enormous **Royal Palace**, its towers and golden spires piercing the sky. At the center stands the **Divine Pillar**. Thirty feet of living crystal. Its interior pulses with rivers of System energy. Blue. Gold. White. Blue again. **CAPTION:** *Every sixteen-year-old in the Kingdom of Asterion undergoes the Awakening.* --- **PANEL 02 — WIDE** The crowd is divided. Nobles stand behind velvet ropes guarded by Silver-rank soldiers. Commoners occupy the rest of the plaza. Parents hold their children's shoulders. Guild representatives watch eagerly. Merchants whisper. Priests stand beneath the palace balconies. Everyone is waiting. --- **PANEL 03 — MEDIUM** Kael Veyron stands alone among the crowd. Seventeen. Thin. Plain. His borrowed clothes hang loosely from his shoulders. The sleeves are slightly too short. He pulls one down. It rolls back up. He pulls it again. **CAPTION:** *Kael Veyron had no family waiting for him.* --- **PANEL 04 — CLOSE-UP** Kael's fingers nervously pinch the sleeve. His knuckles are slightly pale. **CAPTION:** *No father.* *No mother.* *No name worth celebrating.* --- **PANEL 05 — CLOSE-UP** Kael looks toward the Divine Pillar. His expression is uneasy. The enormous crystal reflects in his eyes. **CAPTION:** *The Pillar would decide the rest of his life.* --- ### SEQUENCE 02 — PELL **PANEL 06 — MEDIUM** A stocky red-haired boy stands beside Kael. Pell Harten. His best clothes are visibly just clean work clothes.

Beat. **PELL:** "That's medical." --- **PANEL 10 — SMALL** Kael almost smiles. For the first time, the oppressive atmosphere around him breaks. --- **PANEL 11 — TWO-SHOT** **PELL:** "What do you think you'll get?" **KAEL:** "Iron."

Despite being blind, they seem to look directly through the entire crowd. --- **PANEL 24 — WIDE** Her Saint-rank aura spreads across the plaza. No visible attack. No violence.

He forces it still. --- **PANEL 66 — EXTREME WIDE** Kael reaches the top. The Divine Pillar towers above him. --- ### SEQUENCE 10 — THE TOUCH **PANEL 67 — POV** Kael looks at the crystal. System energy moves inside it like blood through veins. --- **PANEL 68 — CLOSE-UP** His fingertips approach the surface. One centimeter. --- **PANEL 69** Touch. --- **PANEL 70 — EXTREME CLOSE-UP** Kael's eyes widen. The System enters him. **SFX:** **MMMMMMMM** --- **PANEL 71 — ABSTRACT** System energy races through his body. His veins appear illuminated.

The noise becomes visually distorted around him. --- **CAPTION:** *Not Iron.* *Not Bronze.* *Not Silver.* *Nothing.* --- ### SEQUENCE 12 — THE MESSAGE **PANEL 93 — EXTREME CLOSE-UP** Kael's hand against the black Pillar.

The house woke up slowly. No alarms. No staff. No schedule reminders buzzing in the background. Just sunlight spilling across wooden floors like it had nowhere else to be. ⸻ BLACKPINK had agreed on something rare the night before: A weekend with nothing planned. Not rehearsals. Not meetings. Not appearances. Just… time. ⸻ Jisoo was already awake, naturally. Her dark wavy hair was loosely tied back, a soft cream sweater resting over relaxed lounge pants. She stood in the kitchen quietly, making tea with the calm precision of someone who didn’t need noise to feel awake. The house always felt “started” when Jisoo was up first. ⸻ Jennie came in later, hair slightly messy, oversized shirt hanging off one shoulder, still half in sleep mode. She looked at the kettle. “…Is it too early to be alive?” ⸻ Jisoo didn’t turn. “Yes.” ⸻ Jennie nodded. “Good. We agree.” ⸻ ⸻ Rosé arrived quietly after, blonde hair tied loosely, soft cardigan wrapped around her like comfort itself. She paused in the doorway. “It smells like peace,” she said. ⸻ Jennie pointed at the kettle. “That’s just tea.” ⸻ Rosé smiled. “It’s still peace.” ⸻ ⸻ Then— fast footsteps. ⸻ Lisa entered the kitchen from the hallway, brown hair tied in a loose bun, hoodie slightly oversized, sweatpants soft and unstyled. No stage version of her. No work version. Just morning Lisa. ⸻ Behind her— Noah (now a 5-year-old boy) ran in first, socks sliding slightly on the floor. “I DECLARE THIS WEEKEND OFFICIAL FUN TIME,” he announced loudly. ⸻ Ari followed more carefully, pastel hoodie slightly oversized, hair neatly tied but already loosening. “That’s not how weekends work,” she said calmly. ⸻ Noah pointed at her. “It is if I say it loudly enough.” ⸻ Lisa sighed as she reached for a cup. “That’s also not how reality works.” ⸻ Noah considered this. “…Reality is negotiable.” ⸻ Jennie looked at Lisa. “He’s becoming a problem.” ⸻ Lisa nodded. “He’s been one.” ⸻ Noah smiled proudly. “I am consistent.” ⸻ ⸻ The living room filled slowly. Blankets appeared. Coffee cups moved around. People migrated like the house was pulling them into comfort. ⸻ Jisoo sat first, cross-legged on the couch, posture relaxed, watching everything like she was already enjoying the quiet unfolding. Jennie lay back fully on the sofa, arms spread. “I refuse to move for at least six hours.” ⸻ Rosé curled into the armchair near the window, blonde hair glowing in morning light. “I might read something,” she said softly. ⸻ Lisa sat on the floor, leaning against the couch, brown hair falling slightly over her face as she sipped her drink. Ari sat beside her immediately. Noah flopped down dramatically between Jennie and Lisa. ⸻ Silence settled. Not awkward. Not empty. Just shared. ⸻ Noah broke it first. “Do famous people also do nothing?” ⸻ Jennie lifted one hand. “We are doing it right now.” ⸻ Noah looked around. “…We are very good at it.” ⸻ Rosé smiled. “It takes practice.” ⸻ Jisoo added gently. “It takes permission.” ⸻ Lisa leaned her head back slightly. “…It takes exhaustion.” ⸻ That made Jennie laugh. ⸻ Ari leaned into Lisa. “This is my favorite kind of day.” ⸻ Lisa looked down at her. “Why?” ⸻ Ari shrugged. “Nothing is trying to win.” ⸻ Silence again. But softer this time. ⸻ Noah rolled onto his side. “I think the house likes us today.” ⸻ Rosé nodded gently. “It always does.” ⸻ Jisoo looked around. “It just waits for us to stop rushing.” ⸻ Jennie closed her eyes. “…Then we should stop more often.” ⸻ Lisa exhaled quietly. For once— there was nothing pulling her away from the moment. ⸻ Just the four of them. A child’s voice. A quiet laugh. A blonde head by the window. A steady presence in the kitchen. And a house that didn’t ask for anything in return. ⸻ Just a weekend. Not scheduled. Not earned. ⸻ Just lived.
Book 3: Roast Rhythm & Rival Hearts — New Secrets Chapter 4: Behind the Spotlight Months had passed… ⸻ Life had changed completely. ⸻ They weren’t just college students anymore. They were now living the dream they had always chased. ⸻ They were K-pop idols. ⸻ The New Chapter ⸻ Jennie stood backstage after a huge performance. Her shoulder-length red hair was styled perfectly, with a bold stage outfit: a black leather jacket, sparkling accessories, and a powerful look that matched her savage DJ queen image. On stage… She was fearless. ⸻ Lisa had become known for her incredible dancing and stage presence. Her long natural black hair flowed as she performed. She wore a stylish black-and-white performance outfit with boots, looking confident and energetic. ⸻ Rosé had her own signature style. Her shoulder-length rose-pink hair stood out under the stage lights. She wore an elegant but edgy outfit, mixing her soft personality with her powerful performer side. ⸻ Jisoo looked graceful as always. Her light brown hair framed her face beautifully. She wore a classy stage outfit with elegant details that matched her calm confidence. ⸻ Together… They were still the same four girls. Just on a much bigger stage. ⸻ Across the Industry ⸻ Stray Kids were also living their dream. ⸻ Felix stood backstage after a performance. His blonde hair with a red peekaboo streak underneath was styled perfectly. He wore a dark stage outfit with silver details, looking completely different from the nervous boy who once practiced asking Jennie to a dance. ⸻ Han had his natural black hair styled casually. He wore a comfortable but stylish outfit, bringing his funny and energetic personality everywhere. ⸻ Hyunjin had black hair with a silver streak, giving him a dramatic and unforgettable stage look. ⸻ I.N. had his bright orange hair, standing out wherever he went. ⸻ Everyone had grown. ⸻ Everyone had changed. ⸻ Except… Some feelings were still unfinished. ⸻ Jennie’s Breaking Point ⸻ After the concert… The crowd was still cheering outside. Everyone was celebrating. ⸻ But Jennie quietly walked away. ⸻ Lisa noticed. ⸻ “Jennie?” ⸻ No answer. ⸻ Rosé followed her. ⸻ “Something’s wrong.” ⸻ Jisoo closed the dressing room door behind them. ⸻ Jennie stood in front of the mirror. ⸻ For years… She had been the savage one. The one who roasted everyone. The one who acted like nothing could hurt her. ⸻ But tonight… She couldn’t keep pretending. ⸻ Lisa stepped closer. ⸻ “Jennie.” ⸻ “You don’t have to act tough with us.” ⸻ Silence. ⸻ Then Jennie finally broke. ⸻ “I hate this.” ⸻ Rosé looked worried. ⸻ “What?” ⸻ Jennie sat down. ⸻ “I thought becoming an idol would fix everything.” ⸻ “I thought if I was busy enough…” ⸻ “If I was successful enough…” ⸻ “I wouldn’t think about the things I lost.” ⸻ Jisoo sat beside her. ⸻ “Felix.” ⸻ Jennie looked away. ⸻ She didn’t deny it. ⸻ “I moved on.” ⸻ A pause. ⸻ “At least I tried to.” ⸻ Lisa hugged her. ⸻ “You don’t have to be okay every second.” ⸻ Jennie wiped her eyes. ⸻ “I hate crying.” ⸻ Rosé smiled softly. ⸻ “We know.” ⸻ “I hate that you guys are right.” ⸻ Jisoo laughed. ⸻ “That is the most Jennie thing you’ve said today.” ⸻ A small smile appeared. ⸻ Just a little. ⸻ The Girls ⸻ Lisa squeezed her hand. ⸻ “No matter how famous we get…” ⸻ “We’re still us.” ⸻ Rosé nodded. ⸻ “The same girls who sat in a dorm room talking about the future.” ⸻ Jisoo smiled. ⸻ “And the same girls who survived Jennie’s insults.” ⸻ Jennie looked offended. ⸻ “I was not that bad.” ⸻ All three stared at her. ⸻ “Okay.” ⸻ “Maybe a little.” ⸻ They laughed. ⸻ Because behind the cameras… Behind the music… Behind the fame… ⸻ They were still best friends. ⸻ And Jennie finally remembered: Even the strongest performers need a place where they can stop performing. ⸻ To Be Continued…
Chapter 39 – Graduation Day The day finally arrived. Graduation. ⸻ The school that had been filled with chaos, jokes, competitions, and endless roast battles was now decorated with banners, flowers, and rows of chairs. A giant sign hung above the stage: “Congratulations, Graduating Class!” ⸻ For once… Everyone was quiet. Almost. ⸻ Jennie stood in front of the mirror in her room. Her blonde hair was styled in soft waves, and she wore her graduation gown over a sleek outfit with black boots. Her usual DJ accessories were replaced with a simple silver necklace. She looked at herself. It felt strange. ⸻ A year ago… She was the girl everyone thought was impossible to get close to. The cold DJ. The queen of roasting. The person who acted like she didn’t care. ⸻ Then Felix happened. ⸻ A knock came at her door. “Jennie?” She smiled. “Come in.” ⸻ Felix walked in. His black hair was neatly styled, and he wore his graduation gown over a black shirt and dark pants. He looked around. “Wow.” Jennie raised an eyebrow. “What?” “You actually look ready.” “Excuse me?” “I mean…” He laughed. “You usually look like you’re about to start a DJ battle.” Jennie crossed her arms. “And you usually look like you’re about to miss a basketball shot.” Felix smiled. “Good. You’re still you.” ⸻ They walked downstairs together. ⸻ Everyone was ready. ⸻ Lisa adjusted her graduation cap. Her ash-blonde hair with bangs framed her face, and she wore a stylish outfit under her gown. “I’m taking a hundred pictures.” Han groaned. “One hundred?” “Yes.” “Why?” “Because you will complain later.” ⸻ Rosé smiled. Her lavender hair was curled softly, and she wore a simple elegant outfit under her gown. “This day is actually happening.” ⸻ Jisoo fixed her red hair before putting on her cap. “Everyone ready?” ⸻ Hyunjin appeared dramatically. His blond hair was perfectly styled. “Today…” Everyone sighed. “Don’t.” He continued anyway. “Today we close one chapter.” Han whispered. “He practiced that.” “Of course he did.” ⸻ At the ceremony… The auditorium was full. Parents cheered. Teachers smiled. Students laughed nervously. ⸻ One by one… Names were called. ⸻ “Lisa.” Applause. She walked across the stage confidently. ⸻ “Rosé.” More cheers. ⸻ “Jisoo.” Everyone clapped. ⸻ “Han.” The crowd cheered loudly. Han waved dramatically. Jennie covered her face. “He loves attention.” Felix laughed. “Yes.” ⸻ “Hyunjin.” He walked across the stage like he was in a movie. Everyone laughed. ⸻ Then… “Felix.” ⸻ The crowd cheered. Felix walked across the stage smiling. When he returned… Jennie quietly said: “Not bad, basketball boy.” He smiled. “That was almost a compliment.” “Don’t ruin it.” ⸻ Finally… The last name. ⸻ “Jennie.” ⸻ The room filled with applause. Felix smiled as she walked onto the stage. ⸻ Jennie accepted her diploma. She looked out at the crowd. She remembered everything. The first roast battle. The arguments. The DJ competition. The friendships. The person she never expected to matter so much. ⸻ She walked back. Felix whispered: “You okay?” Jennie nodded. “Yeah.” A pause. “Just weird.” “I know.” ⸻ After the ceremony… Everyone gathered outside for pictures. ⸻ Han immediately grabbed the camera. “Everyone together!” Jennie sighed. “Here we go.” ⸻ The group stood together. Lisa smiling. Rosé laughing. Jisoo fixing everyone’s positions. Hyunjin making dramatic poses. Han trying to look cool. Felix standing beside Jennie. ⸻ “Ready?” Click. ⸻ The picture captured everything. Not perfect. Not organized. Not normal. Just them. ⸻ Later… Jennie and Felix stood away from everyone for a moment. Watching their friends celebrate. ⸻ Felix smiled. “Crazy, right?” “What?” “That we went from hating each other…” Jennie smirked. “I never hated you.” “You called me annoying every day.” “You were annoying.” “Fair.” ⸻ She looked at the graduation cap in her hands. “We’re really leaving.” “Yeah.” ⸻ A small silence. Then Jennie smiled. “Don’t think college means you’re safe.” Felix laughed. “Of course.” “Because?” “Because you’ll still roast me.” “Exactly.” ⸻ The final school bell rang one last time. And the group walked away from the school together. Not knowing exactly what the future would bring… But knowing one thing. No matter where life took them… The chaos, friendship, and memories would always stay.
Chapter 6 – Wait… You Live Here?! The School Festival had finally ended. Students slowly left campus, laughing and carrying prizes, snacks, and souvenirs. Jennie adjusted her silver headphones around her neck as she walked toward the student dorms. Her long black hair with soft curtain bangs rested neatly over her oversized black hoodie. She wore baggy black cargo pants with silver chains, black-and-white high-top sneakers, and carried her backpack over one shoulder. “Finally…” “Peace and quiet.” ⸻ Across campus, Felix headed toward the same building. His soft black hair was slightly messy after spending the entire day running the basketball booth. He wore his black-and-red varsity jacket over a white T-shirt, black athletic pants, and white basketball sneakers. A duffel bag hung over his shoulder while he lazily spun a basketball in one hand. “My bed…” “I’ve missed you.” ⸻ Walking behind him was Han. His soft brown hair stuck up in every direction after running around the festival all day. He wore his oversized dark green hoodie under a denim jacket, relaxed black jeans, and worn white sneakers. He was carrying three bags of leftover festival snacks. “I stole—” Jisoo looked at him. “You what?” Han corrected himself. “I legally rescued these snacks.” ⸻ Rosé and Lisa walked together. Rosé’s long lavender hair flowed over her oversized lavender cardigan. She wore ripped blue jeans and chunky white boots while carrying a small speaker. Lisa’s long ash-blonde hair with bangs bounced as she skipped beside her. She wore her black bomber jacket, a graphic T-shirt, baggy cargo pants, and colorful sneakers. Lisa grinned. “I can’t believe Jennie actually smiled today.” Rosé smiled. “It lasted about half a second.” ⸻ Jisoo followed behind them. Her long dark red hair rested neatly over one shoulder. She wore a cream knit sweater, a black pleated skirt, black tights, and ankle boots. “I saw it too.” Lisa gasped dramatically. “We witnessed history.” ⸻ Hyunjin walked with his suitcase. His long blond hair looked perfect even after a full day at the festival. He wore an oversized cream sweater, black wide-leg trousers, layered silver necklaces, and clean sneakers. He looked up at the dorm building. “Home…” “…but make it fashionable.” Han sighed. “How do you make a building fashionable?” Hyunjin smiled. “You simply exist near it.” ⸻ The seven students walked toward the entrance. Jennie reached the front door first. She unlocked it. Stepped inside. Kicked off her shoes. “…Finally.” She walked into the living room— —and froze. There… Standing in the kitchen… Was Felix. He froze too. “…” “…” “…Why are you in my dorm?” Jennie asked. Felix frowned. “Your dorm?” “This is my dorm.” Jennie crossed her arms. “No.” “It literally is.” Felix pointed at the couch. “My bag is here.” Jennie pointed at the hallway. “My room is here.” Before either of them could say another word… Han walked in carrying his mountain of snacks. He looked at both of them. “Oh.” He slowly backed toward the door. “I’m coming back later.” “No, you’re not!” Jennie and Felix shouted. Han grinned. “Okay… this is funny.” ⸻ Rosé, Lisa, Jisoo, and Hyunjin walked in a few seconds later. Lisa looked around. “…Wait.” She looked at Jennie. “You didn’t know?” Jennie blinked. “Know what?” Rosé tilted her head. “The principal combined the dorms yesterday.” Jennie slowly turned toward Felix. Felix slowly turned toward Jennie. Jisoo quietly nodded. “You’re roommates now.” Silence. Complete… Absolute… Silence. Then— “WHAT?!” Jennie and Felix yelled so loudly that everyone in the hallway stopped walking. Han nearly dropped all his snacks laughing. “I KNEW THEY DIDN’T KNOW!” ⸻ Jennie pointed at Felix. “I am not sharing a dorm with Basketball.” Felix pointed back. “And I’m not sharing one with DJ Disaster.” Jennie gasped. “DJ Disaster?” Felix shrugged. “It sounded cool.” Jennie smiled. “Basketball Boy.” Felix. “Headphone Queen.” Jennie. “Free Throw Failure.” Felix. “Playlist Goblin.” Jennie. “Varsity Jacket Advertisement.” Felix. “Walking Volume Warning.” Han clapped. “THEY’RE FREESTYLING!” Lisa quickly pulled out her phone. “I’m writing these down.” Rosé laughed so hard she had to sit on the couch. Even Jisoo covered her mouth to hide a smile. Hyunjin nodded dramatically. “This…” “…is the greatest plot twist of the year.” ⸻ Just then, the dorm supervisor walked in. “Good evening, everyone.” He smiled. “I hope you’re all settling in.” Jennie immediately raised her hand. “I have a complaint.” Felix raised his hand too. “So do I.” The supervisor looked at them. “Too bad.” He handed them a paper. Dorm Assignment Room 204 Occupants: Jennie & Felix Jennie stared at the paper. Felix stared at the paper. Han leaned over. “So…” He grinned. “You two are officially roommates.” Jennie and Felix looked at each other. Then looked away at exactly the same time. “This is going to be the worst year ever.” They both said it together. Lisa burst into laughter. “Oh…” “This is going to be the best year ever.”
Chapter 33 – The Night of Maximum Chaos The night was supposed to be relaxing. That was the first mistake. Because whenever Jennie, Jisoo, and Han were together… Nothing was relaxing. ⸻ The group had gone to a late-night celebration lounge after the DJ competition. The music was loud. The lights were everywhere. Everyone was laughing. And somehow… Han had become the unofficial leader of chaos. ⸻ Jennie sat at the table with a giant colorful mocktail in her hand. Her blonde hair was slightly messy from dancing, and she wore her black jacket, silver accessories, and her favorite boots. Jisoo’s red hair was still styled perfectly, but after hours of dancing, a few strands had fallen loose. Han’s brown hair looked like he had fought a wind machine and lost. ⸻ Han stood on his chair. “I have an announcement!” Everyone immediately groaned. “No.” “Han, sit down.” “Please don’t.” ⸻ Han ignored them. “Tonight…” He pointed dramatically. “Is the greatest night of our lives.” Felix looked at Lisa. “How long has he been like this?” Lisa laughed. “Since five minutes after we arrived.” ⸻ Rosé shook her head. Her lavender hair fell over her shoulders as she laughed. “Han thinks every moment is a movie scene.” Hyunjin nodded seriously. “To be fair…” Everyone looked at him. “He does make life more dramatic.” ⸻ Meanwhile… Jennie was having way too much fun. Which was unusual. Because Jennie normally acted like she was above everything. But tonight? She was laughing. Actually laughing. ⸻ Felix noticed. And smiled. Lisa immediately caught it. “You are staring.” Felix looked away. “I am not.” “You are.” “I was just looking.” “Exactly.” ⸻ Later… The chaos reached a new level. ⸻ Jisoo grabbed Han’s arm. “We need to have a serious conversation.” Han looked worried. “About what?” “About why you think you can dance.” Everyone went silent. Han looked offended. “I can dance.” “You dance like your Wi-Fi is disconnecting.” The entire table exploded. ⸻ Jennie laughed so hard she nearly dropped her drink. Felix looked shocked. “Did Jisoo just roast Han?” Lisa nodded. “She’s been saving that one.” ⸻ When it was finally time to leave… Everyone agreed. Jisoo, Han, and Jennie were officially too chaotic to be trusted alone. ⸻ The walk back to the dorm was hilarious. ⸻ Han walked beside Hyunjin. “Do you think ducks know they’re funny?” Hyunjin paused. “What?” “Ducks.” “Why?” “Because they walk like they’re late to a meeting.” Hyunjin stared. “…I hate that you’re making sense.” ⸻ Jisoo was walking with Rosé. “Rosé.” “Yes?” “I have discovered something.” “What?” “I am always right.” Rosé smiled. “You say that every day.” “Because I am consistent.” ⸻ Jennie walked between Felix and Lisa. She pointed at Felix. “You.” Felix looked at her. “Me?” “Yes.” “What?” “You are suspicious.” “Why?” “Because you are nice.” Felix laughed. “That’s suspicious?” “For you? Yes.” ⸻ Felix shook his head. “You are unbelievable.” Jennie nodded proudly. “I know.” ⸻ When they finally reached the dorm… Everyone collapsed onto the couches. ⸻ Lisa looked around. “Never again.” Han raised his hand. “Question.” “No.” “Can we do it again next week?” Everyone shouted: “NO!” ⸻ Felix helped Jennie get to her room. She walked carefully. “I can walk.” “I know.” “Then why are you helping?” “Because you almost walked into the wall.” Jennie looked at the wall. “It was in my way.” “The wall?” “Yes.” ⸻ Felix opened her door. “There.” Jennie stepped inside. Then turned around. “Felix.” “Yeah?” “I have something important to tell you.” He smiled. “What?” She pointed at him. “Your basketball skills are overrated.” Felix blinked. “That is what you needed to say?” “Yes.” He laughed. “Of course it is.” ⸻ She sat down on her bed. Then looked at him more seriously. “You know…” “What?” “You’re actually a good person.” Felix smiled. “That might be the nicest thing you’ve ever said.” “Don’t get emotional.” “I’m not.” “You look emotional.” “I don’t.” “Your face is doing the thing.” ⸻ Felix laughed. Then he noticed her DJ trophy sitting on the desk. He picked it up carefully and placed it somewhere safe. “You worked really hard for this.” Jennie looked at the trophy. “You remembered.” “Of course I remembered.” ⸻ For once… Jennie didn’t roast him. She just smiled. “Thanks.” Felix smiled back. “Anytime.” ⸻ He turned to leave. Then Jennie called: “Felix.” He looked back. “Yeah?” A pause. “Your hair still looks okay.” He laughed. “Okay?” “Don’t push it.” ⸻ Felix smiled. “Goodnight, Jennie.” “Goodnight, basketball boy.” ⸻ When he closed the door… Han appeared in the hallway. “Did you have a romantic moment?” Felix jumped. “How are you always there?” Han smiled. “Talent.” Felix sighed. “You are impossible.” Han nodded. “Thank you.” ⸻ And that was the thing about their group. They were chaotic. Loud. Embarrassing. Completely impossible. But somehow… They had become family. And Jennie and Felix? They were still roasting each other every chance they got. Just now… There was a little more smiling between the insults.

Shen Lang recognized them almost at a glance.They were several core actors from the Legend of Xiang Fei crew. "Miaohan, I was planning to invite you to have a party together, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence." Chu Gongze walked to Su Miaohan with a face of surprise. "Mr.Su." "Hello, Mr.Su." Several other actors greeted Su Miaohan, a beautiful investor, with great respect. "Hello everyone, are you here for a dinner party?" Su Miaohan nodded coldly. "Yes, the weather has been hot recently and everyone has been having a hard time filming, so I specially invite you all to come here for a little get-together." While Chu Gongze was talking, his eyes glanced at Shen Lang from time to time. "Miaohan, it looks like you don't have anything to eat either.Why don't you share a meal?There are so many people and it's so lively." Before Su Miaohan could reply, Li Xiangling walked up to Shen Lang in surprise, "Shen Lang, you are here too." Although Shen Lang did not participate in the drama "The Legend of Xiang Fei", the two still often chatted about the drama on WeChat during this period.Li Xiangling also got a lot of inspiration from Shen Lang, and the characters were enhanced a lot. "Sister Xiangling." Shen Lang smiled back. Li Xiangling looked at the others and introduced: "Let me introduce to you, his name is Shen Lang.He almost played the role of Yongquan, but unfortunately he couldn't perform due to an accident.But despite his young age, his acting skills are definitely top-notch.” Shen Lang couldn't help but smile bitterly, Sister Xiangling praised herself too much. It's just that he can see that other people are dismissive of him, so he doesn't rush to show his warm face to others' cold buttocks. "Shen Lang, I see your food hasn't been served yet.Let's have some.I happen to have something I want to talk to you about." Li Xiangling extended an invitation to Shen Lang very affectionately. Su Miaohan frowned slightly.Of course Li Xiangling knew that the famous heroine in the entertainment industry was not only beautiful, but also single all the time.I don't know how many people coveted her beauty. She couldn't figure out how such a big-name star could have a relationship with Shen Lang, and Li Xiangling's attitude towards Shen Lang was a little too affectionate. This made her feel very uncomfortable. "this." Shen Lang was a little embarrassed, "Your crew is gathering for dinner and bonding.It would be inappropriate for us to participate." "Everything here is in the same circle.If you don't see it when you look up, you won't see it when you look down." Li Xiangling said happily: "Are you not going to give me this face?" Shen Lang smiled bitterly, consulted Gu Wanxia's opinion, and had no choice but to agree.After all, Li Xiangling was really good to him. He later heard Liu Jia say that after his role was removed, Li Xiangling had a fight with Director Hu Chunjiang over him. A group of people came to a luxurious private room. When taking her seat, Su Miaohan sat in a position on the left.On her left was Chen Meng, and on her right was Liu Yuanyuan, the second female lead in the drama "The Legend of Xiang Fei". This resulted in Chu Gongze, her real boyfriend, being unable to sit next to her. "Chu Gongze, please sit here with me." Liu Yuanyuan reacted immediately, stood up with a smile and said: "It's all my fault for being ignorant.I originally wanted to get close to Mr.Su, but I forgot that you are Mr.Su's boyfriend.Hehe, don't be offended." "Where, it's just a place." Chu Gongze was very satisfied with her attitude and sat down on the seat next to Su Miaohan without hesitation. No one else had any reaction. Now the crew has spread the news that Chu Gongze is in love with Su Miaohan.Even the drama "The Legend of Xiang Fei" was specially created for Chu Gongze, which shows how much Su Miaohan cares about her boyfriend. Shen Lang didn't respond, he lowered his head and played with his phone silently. But Su Miaohan immediately looked over at Shen Lang to see his reaction.Seeing his calm expression, as if the matter had nothing to do with her, she felt a little irritated for no reason. "Mr.Su, what do you mean?" Gu Wanxia suddenly stood up, her face covered with frost. She was simply stunned. As Shen Lang's wife, Su Miaohan actually has a boyfriend, and she doesn't shy away from Shen Lang at all? This simply trampled Shen Lang's dignity into the dirt! Is there anyone who bullies people like this? At this moment, she felt heartbroken.No wonder Shen Lang had been unwilling to mention his fiancée.It turned out that she was the kind of woman who could do anything with her husband! This sudden accusation made everyone's eyes focus on her in shock. Gu Wanxia stared at Su Miaohan with stern eyes, "You are Shen Lang's wife, and you are so blatantly looking for a wild man outside, can you be worthy of him!" "What do you think of him?Do you have any sense of shame in hooking up with wild men outside in front of him?" As soon as these words came out, the scene exploded instantly. What! Su Miaohan actually got married? Married and looking for a man outside? And in front of my husband? Do women from rich families spend so much time having fun? Suddenly, everyone looked at Su Miaohan strangely. Su Miaohan looked like the kind of cold, iceberg-type woman who was hard to get in touch with, but she didn't expect that she actually had a fiery heart. Shen Lang raised his head in shock, first glanced at Su Miaohan, who was frowning, and then immediately said: "Sister Wan Xia, please stop talking." He really didn't expect that Gu Wanxia would stand up for him, and he was touched and anxious at the same time. Because he didn't want everyone to know about the contract marriage.This was what he had agreed with Su Miaohan when they signed the contract. Gu Wanxia looked at him with a look of pity, "Shen Lang, I know you are kind-hearted, but I can't watch you being bullied like this." "Mr.Su, I know that your family is rich, and Shen Lang is just an orphan with no money and no power, but as a woman, since she is married, she must adhere to her feminine ways.Can you tolerate your conscience when you play with his feelings like this?" "Since you have no feelings for him, you can divorce him.With your looks and wealth, Mr.Su, you can find any man you want.Why do you bully a kind man like this!" "I need you to give me an explanation!" You can hear the needle drop on site. After all, this involved Su Miaohan, the investor.They couldn't say anything, but they also despised Su Miaohan in their hearts.With a husband at home, you just go out to play and bring the man to your husband.This is outrageous. "Miss, you have misunderstood Miaohan." Chu Gongze's expression was not very good.Seeing that Su Miaohan's face showed no intention of speaking, he couldn't help but stand up. This matter is not only related to Su Miaohan's reputation, but also to his own reputation. If word spreads, I'm afraid the Internet will explode tomorrow. He even thought about what the headlines would be tomorrow. "Shock!Chu Gongze is actually a mistress who interferes in other people's marriages?" "The beautiful president of the Su Group cheated on the famous actor Chu Gongze during marriage!" "It's outrageous!The beautiful CEO actually brought a popular young man to his original wife to show off his affection!" Once this news explodes on the Internet, it will not be blocked, but it will definitely be a devastating blow to his career!
Parallel world, Huaxia Dragon Kingdom, outside the gates of Modu University. The July breeze, carrying a hint of laziness, brushed past gently, announcing the arrival of the graduation season. Qin Yi, dressed in a black bachelor’s gown with a gray collar, held a bouquet of bright roses in his hands, seemingly unafraid of the scorching sun and indifferent to the countless curious or mocking gazes around him. His eyes were filled with a complex mix of apprehension and expectation, as if he were waiting for an unknown judgment. His gaze was locked on the school gate, silently counting the time in his heart, waiting for that familiar yet strange figure to appear. “Qin Yi, you have to promise me. When we graduate, we’ll wear our bachelor’s gowns together and take a commemorative photo at the school gate. You also have to prepare a big bouquet of roses for me, and then...” Memories flooded back like a tide, as those beautiful times spent with Su Mo replayed in Qin Yi’s mind like a movie. A smile unconsciously tugged at the corners of his mouth; those were the sweet memories that belonged to them. However, beautiful memories are always fleeting. A month ago, Su Mo suddenly initiated a breakup, without any warning or explanation. Her words were like a sharp knife, stabbing deeply into Qin Yi’s heart. “Qin Yi, thank you for taking care of me these past three years and giving me a carefree time in university.” “I used to hear people say that love in university has no results. Breaking up upon graduation is a curse that no one can escape.” “Back then, I didn’t believe it. I thought you were my Prince Charming. I once dreamed that we would be together forever, from the campus to marriage...” “But only now do I understand that I was wrong, completely wrong!” “Love without material substance is like a handful of sand; it doesn’t even need the wind to blow, it just scatters after a few steps.” “So, Qin Yi, you understand what I mean. Let go! If you still love me, don’t come looking for me again.” “For the rest of my life, it will no longer be you!” “Don’t miss me! Don’t reply!” These were the last few words Su Mo had left for Qin Yi on WeChat. Since then, the WeChat chat box between Qin Yi and Su Mo was filled with nothing but one red exclamation mark after another. Today is July 1st, the day the graduates of Modu University leave the campus. Qin Yi had taken an overnight green-skinned train from his hometown of Jingnan to Modu, just to fulfill that original promise. However, the moment he stood at the school gate, he realized how foolish and ridiculous he was. ... At ten o’clock in the morning, it was exceptionally lively outside the gates of Modu University. Students dragged their suitcases out of the campus in an endless stream, their faces filled with expectation for the future and reluctance to leave the past. Among the crowd, a young man in a bachelor’s gown was particularly eye-catching; he was Qin Yi. Although the air was thick with the humidity and sweltering heat of the Plum Rain Season, it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the onlookers. They gathered in small groups, their gazes focused on Qin Yi, as whispers rose and fell. “Hey, look at that guy. Isn’t that Qin Yi, the influential figure from our School of Economics?” a girl wearing glasses pointed at Qin Yi curiously and asked the classmate next to her. “Yes, yes, I remember now, it’s him!” a boy nearby added. “So it’s him. Why is he back now? Didn’t he have his graduation delayed?” a short-haired girl said curiously. “Delayed graduation? Why?” “Cough, you guys don’t know yet? It’s all over the school forum! They say Qin Yi’s family business ran into trouble and they owe a lot of money. Creditors go to his house every few days to demand payment. I heard that a while ago, his dad was even kidnapped by loan sharks and tortured quite badly...” a well-informed student said in a low voice. “Then he still dares to put on such a big show here? Isn’t he afraid the creditors will come knocking?” a tall boy joked. “Who knows, maybe he’s here for one last meeting. I heard that he and Su Mo, the department beauty of the Music Academy, have been dating since their sophomore year. Now Su Mo is really in the spotlight; I wonder if she’ll despise him.” a girl whispered. “Despise him? That’s for sure! If it were me, I would have said goodbye to him long ago. What’s the point of dating without money? It’s just a waste of youth,” a fashionably dressed girl said disdainfully. “Not necessarily. Maybe Su Mo is someone who values feelings. After all, they’ve been together for so long; there’s an emotional foundation,” a seemingly innocent girl defended Qin Yi. “Feelings? In this realistic society, can feelings put food on the table? Just wait and see, Su Mo will definitely break up with him,” a boy wearing headphones asserted coldly. The onlookers discussed fervently, each expressing their own opinions. Some sympathized with Qin Yi’s plight, while others sneered at his behavior. ... Listening to the discussions around him, Qin Yi’s heart felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer. He silently lowered his eyes, and the bouquet of roses in his hand swayed gently in the breeze, as if also recounting his loneliness and helplessness... Yeah, what am I doing back here? Ever since the family business met its Waterloo, those relatives who used to be so warm and welcoming have stayed away as if avoiding a plague, fearing they would be dragged into the turmoil. Come to think of it, Su Mo probably broke up with me for the same reason. Just as Qin Yi was torn in his heart about whether he should quietly leave, another commotion arose in the crowd... “Hey, hey, the main character is out! Want to bet? I bet the great department beauty Su will definitely break up with this kid! How about the loser treats everyone?” “A bet’s a bet. I bet Su Mo will stay loyal. After all, it’s a three-year relationship; it can’t just end like that...” ... Qin Yi took a deep breath, summoned his courage, and looked up toward the school gate. Su Mo’s figure came into view. She was still radiant, with exquisite makeup and a charming smile. Her white lace dress fluttered gently in the wind, like a blooming white lotus. “Mo...” The words reached his lips, but Qin Yi forced them back down. Only because of the look Su Mo had just given him. When Su Mo saw Qin Yi, the smile on her face instantly froze, replaced by undisguised disdain and disgust. However, her gaze only lingered on Qin Yi’s face for a brief moment before immediately moving past him to look at the street behind him, her eyes filled with a bit of panic, as if she were worried about being seen by someone. A moment later, as if a weight had been lifted, Su Mo shifted her gaze back to Qin Yi and walked quickly toward him, her high heels making a crisp “da-da” sound against the ground. “What are you doing here! Didn’t I tell you everything on WeChat?! Can’t you understand? Do I really have to break up with you in person? Fine! Then I’ll tell you one more time! We’ve broken up! Acting like this now only makes me look down on you even more!” Su Mo’s tone was full of disdain and mockery, as if having Qin Yi as an ex was a very shameful thing. The surrounding crowd began to whisper, and the sound of discussion rose and fell. “See, I told you. How could Su Mo still be interested in this fallen Rich Second Generation?” “Sigh, Qin Yi is just asking for trouble. Knowing what kind of person Su Mo is, he still had to pull this stunt.” “I get it, Qin Yi just can’t let go... I heard that when this department beauty Su was dating Qin Yi, she made him spend quite a bit of money on her... Now that Qin Yi’s family is bankrupt, she wants to break up... That’s really heartless!” “I don’t like hearing that. How can you say it’s heartless? Haven’t you heard the saying, ’Husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, but they fly their separate ways when disaster strikes’? If it’s like that for married couples, let alone just a pair of lovers.” “Sigh, yeah. Who would want to be saddled with a mountain of debt right after graduation...” ... Qin Yi’s throat moved as he gripped the bouquet of roses tightly. He knew he was in a wretched state right now, but he still summoned the courage to hand the bouquet to Su Mo. “Momo, do you still remember the promise you made to me when we first started dating?” Hearing this, Su Mo’s expression froze slightly, and a ripple of emotion stirred deep in her heart. “You said that when we graduate, you wanted me to prepare a bouquet of roses for you, and we would wear our bachelor’s gowns together...” However, before Qin Yi could finish, he was interrupted by Su Mo’s impatient wave of her hand. “Qin Yi, stop deceiving yourself! You think doing this will make me change my mind? I’m telling you, it’s impossible! We’ve already broken up. To me, you are nothing now!” “Momo, I didn’t come here today to pester you. I just wanted to fulfill our promise and put a full stop to this relationship.” Qin Yi’s voice was a bit choked. But Su Mo interrupted him impatiently: “Qin Yi, you are truly laughably naive! Do you think doing this can win me back? I’m telling you, it’s over between us! You have nothing now; what do you have to love me with? Just your words?” Qin Yi’s heart felt as if it had been pierced by a sharp blade. He was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly: “Momo, I know I have nothing right now, but I believe I will stand up again. Give me a little time, and I will prove to you that I, Qin Yi, am not someone who only speaks empty words.” Su Mo shook her head coldly: “Qin Yi, stop dreaming! Besides, I’ve already found a new partner; his family background is better than yours, and he’s richer than you. My life now is something you can’t even imagine. So, please don’t show up in front of me again. From now on, we are strangers!” Although Qin Yi had already had a premonition, when these cold and heartless words came out of Su Mo’s mouth, he still felt as if he had been struck by a ruthless heavy hammer. The last faint glimmer of hope in his heart shattered, and it felt as if something had split open in his chest, the pain making it almost impossible for him to breathe. The bouquet of roses that he had been holding tightly now seemed to have lost all its vitality, the petals drooping as if also mourning for this lost relationship. The onlookers also began to chime in with their discussions. “Those words are a bit too much. After all, they were together for three years; there’s no need to be so harsh.” Someone said indignantly. “Yeah, I really didn’t expect that Su Mo, who usually looks so gentle and harmless, would say such hurtful words.” Someone shook their head and sighed. “This is a typical ’Green Tea’; she acts pure and harmless on the surface, but in reality, she’s very calculating.” Someone commented disdainfully. “Sigh, Qin Yi is really pitiful. Being hurt by someone like that, I’m afraid it’ll be hard for him to believe in love again.” Someone sighed sympathetically. “Sigh, sweet words when there’s money, but turning cold and heartless when there’s none.” Someone lamented indignantly. Accused by those around her, Su Mo’s expression gradually became awkward. Her gaze toward Qin Yi, beyond disdain, now held a few more hints of disgust. Just as the atmosphere was about to reach a freezing point, a sharp car horn pierced the silence, drawing everyone’s attention. “Beep, beep, beep—” Everyone turned their heads to see a dazzling yellow sports car speeding over like a shooting star, coming to a steady stop on the street not far away. The sports car had sleek lines and a dazzling luster. The scissor doors slowly rose, and a man wearing sunglasses stepped out with a flourish. “Wow, a sports car! So cool!” “Oh my god, isn’t that the latest Maserati MC20? I heard it costs over three million to get one!” “Holy crap, for real? That expensive?!” “The guy in sunglasses is so handsome, such a strong aura. He’s totally my ideal type!” “He seems to be looking at me... Should I go up and strike up a conversation?” ... The onlookers instantly erupted into a frenzy. Emotions of envy, jealousy, and desire intertwined, forming an indescribable atmosphere. Su Mo’s gaze also shifted away from Qin Yi. When she saw the man in sunglasses walking toward her, her eyes immediately shimmered with a gentle light. Qin Yi watched this, feeling a sharp pang in his heart. Once upon a time, Su Mo used to look at him with such tenderness... Just as the man in sunglasses was about to reach Su Mo, she suddenly lowered her voice and said angrily to Qin Yi, “Qin Yi! Leave quickly. If you don’t care about your Face, I still care about mine!” No sooner had she spoken than the man in sunglasses stood before her. He glanced at Qin Yi, a mocking curve forming at the corner of his mouth. What happened next left the onlookers even more dumbfounded. Disregarding the gazes of Qin Yi and the crowd, the man in sunglasses reached out to wrap his arm around Su Mo’s waist, pulled her into his embrace, and kissed her deeply on the lips. “Whoa—” The onlookers couldn’t help but gasp. Qin Yi’s mind went blank, feeling a surge of rage rising from the bottom of his heart. The bouquet of roses in his hand slipped weakly to the ground. The veins on his forehead bulged, and his fists clenched until they cracked. A moment later, the man in sunglasses separated from Su Mo. He reached out to toy with her hair, his Face full of triumph. After all, kissing the department beauty in front of so many people gave any man a lot of Face. Not to mention, it was right in front of Qin Yi, the ex! Men simply loved to “show off” their affection in front of a woman’s ex to satisfy their own vanity. “Mo Mo, who is he!” Qin Yi’s gaze was like a torch, staring fixedly at the man in sunglasses. He gritted his teeth as if to crush the anger in his heart. The man in sunglasses turned leisurely, his hand sliding down Su Mo’s back. He inadvertently increased his grip, pulling Su Mo close to him, then sized Qin Yi up provocatively. Su Mo felt a bit of pain, but she still feigned a look of happiness on her Face. At this moment, as if declaring his sovereignty, the man in sunglasses pulled his shades down slightly, revealing his arrogant and smug Face with a mocking smile. “Wang Hao!” Qin Yi’s eyes widened. He looked at Wang Hao in disbelief, then turned his gaze back to Su Mo, his voice trembling as he asked, “Mo Mo, you... how can you be with him? Don’t you know? He’s just a scumbag who toys with feelings! He changes girlfriends faster than he changes clothes! You’ll suffer if you’re with him!” Su Mo frowned, her Face showing disgust again as she glared at Qin Yi. “Qin Yi! What right do you have to talk about Brother Hao? I’ve already broken up with you! It’s none of your business who I’m with!” Wang Hao let go of Su Mo, walked up to Qin Yi, circled him, and said in a deliberately mocking tone, “Oho, oho... I wondered which devoted lover it was, but it’s actually Young Master Qin. What’s the matter? Has everything at Young Master Qin’s home been settled? Speaking of which, it’s been about half a year since we last met... Why are you still wearing a graduation gown in this heat? Aren’t you hot?” As Wang Hao spoke, he tugged at the graduation gown Qin Yi was wearing with a look of extreme disdain. Qin Yi clenched his fists, veins bulging as he glared at Wang Hao. “My business is none of your concern!” Wang Hao had never gotten along with Qin Yi; they were classmates. Previously, their family backgrounds were similar, but not only was Qin Yi’s family wealthy, his grades in school were also better than Wang Hao’s. Most importantly, Qin Yi was more handsome than him, so Wang Hao had been overshadowed by Qin Yi in every way during their college years. But who could have imagined that as graduation approached, Qin Yi’s family company would go bankrupt due to a broken capital chain. Not only that, according to Su Mo, Qin Yi’s father also owed a large amount of high-interest debt—the kind that ordinary people couldn’t pay off in several lifetimes even without eating or drinking... When he heard this news, Wang Hao couldn’t have been happier. He thought he had to find an opportunity to thoroughly humiliate Qin Yi and vent his hatred! Unfortunately, as soon as trouble hit Qin Yi’s home, he took a leave of absence and went back. Thus, Wang Hao could only set his sights on Su Mo. For a man, what could be more humiliating than having his woman touched by another? Originally, Wang Hao thought Qin Yi and Su Mo’s relationship was very strong, and it might take some effort. But who knew that Su Mo, who appeared pure and innocent like a white lotus on the surface, was actually a total gold-digger at heart. So, after Qin Yi took his leave and left the school, Wang Hao launched an offensive on Su Mo, showering her with various luxury goods and high-end restaurants regardless of the cost. Finally, a month ago, Su Mo was completely conquered by Wang Hao. At the same time, Wang Hao also learned about Qin Yi’s family matters from Su Mo. The posts on the campus forum about the bankruptcy of Qin Yi’s family were also spread by Wang Hao. Now that he had encountered Qin Yi again, Wang Hao naturally wouldn’t let this chance slip by. He had to “kick the dog while it’s down”! At this point, more and more people were gathering. Su Mo didn’t want things to become public knowledge either; after all, it wasn’t good for her reputation. So, Su Mo lowered her voice and said softly to Wang Hao, “Brother Hao, ignore him. It’s so hot outside, let’s go...” How could Wang Hao listen to Su Mo? He glanced at the roses on the ground and let out a disdainful chuckle. “Hehe, what did Young Master Qin just call me? A scumbag?” As Wang Hao spoke, his hand reached out recklessly to touch Su Mo’s Face. He hooked her chin with his finger and once again, provocatively and roughly, kissed her on the lips. It wasn’t until Su Mo felt she couldn’t breathe properly that Wang Hao let go of her, looking at Qin Yi with a provocative gaze. “Young Master Qin is right! Compared to Young Master Qin’s devotion, I, Wang Hao, am a bit of a scumbag. But so what? I have money! I’m happy to spend money on women. Especially ones like Mo Mo!” “You!” Qin Yi stared at Wang Hao in fury, his fists clenched tight, his eyes looking as if they wanted to devour him. In the past, Wang Hao might have been wary of Qin Yi, as their families were of equal strength. But now, Qin Yi’s actions in Wang Hao’s eyes were nothing more than impotent rage. So, Wang Hao continued to provoke him. “What about ’you’? What? Want to hit me? I’m so scared...” Wang Hao took two more steps toward Qin Yi with a sleazy look, fearlessly thrusting his Face in front of Qin Yi’s. “Come on, hit me right here!” Infuriated, Qin Yi was about to strike out and teach this bastard a lesson. But unexpectedly, Wang Hao let out a cold laugh. “Think carefully! If this punch lands, you’ll either pay up or go to jail!” Qin Yi hesitated... If this were half a year ago, he would have thrown that punch without any hesitation! But now, he no longer had the capital to bear the consequences of that punch. If he were arrested, not only would his studies be affected, but it would also place an even greater burden on his parents... His family could no longer afford it... Thinking of this, Qin Yi backed down, his clenched fists slowly loosening. Seeing this, Wang Hao gave a cold smile and spat disdainfully. “Pah! Dammit, you coward! You’ve got no strength, yet you’re so damn good at putting on an act!” After saying that, Wang Hao lifted his foot and, as if trying to crush Qin Yi to death, stomped hard on the bouquet of roses on the ground. Those once delicate flowers were ruthlessly crushed, and Qin Yi’s heart broke along with them. His dignity, his love, his everything—at this moment, they were all trampled underfoot by this bastard Wang Hao... Qin Yi lowered his eyes, disheartened, wanting only to turn around and leave. But Wang Hao had no intention of letting Qin Yi off so easily! The humiliation wasn’t enough! “Stop! Did I say you could leave?!” Qin Yi looked up, his eyes flashing with the light of anger. “Wang Hao! Don’t you fucking go too far!” he roared. Wang Hao showed no fear; instead, he became even more arrogant. “Too far? I’ll show you what ’too far’ means!” He snatched the bag from Su Mo’s shoulder, pulled out a few bills, and threw them in Qin Yi’s Face. “Take this money as compensation for you!” Having said that, Wang Hao was about to turn and leave, but then seemed to remember something. He leaned into Qin Yi’s ear and whispered another mockery. “By the way, there’s one thing I almost forgot to tell you! I took Su Mo’s first time! Qin Yi, should I call you devoted or just stupid? I really didn’t expect that after being with Su Mo for three years, she was still a virgin... Back then, you were rich and handsome, so why didn’t you just take her? Could it be that your equipment doesn’t work? But I should still thank you for that! Don’t worry, after my day-and-night training during this time, she’s very familiar with all kinds of positions now! Oh, by the way, I have plenty of videos and photos on my phone. If you’re interested, I don’t mind letting you have a look! After all, sharing joy is better than keeping it to yourself...” Qin Yi was completely enraged. “Wang Hao! Fuck your ancestors!” He threw a punch toward Wang Hao’s Face. Since Wang Hao had chosen to use this matter to completely provoke Qin Yi, he was naturally prepared. He quickly retreated and grabbed Su Mo, pulling her in front of him. Wang Hao was different from Qin Yi; he wouldn’t cherish Su Mo just because she was his woman now. To him, women were nothing more than playthings! He, Wang Hao, wouldn’t be as stupid as Qin Yi and get hurt for a woman! “Ah...” Su Mo screamed and closed her eyes, terrified. Qin Yi’s punch stalled in mid-air; he hesitated. Taking the opportunity, Wang Hao raised his leg and kicked Qin Yi hard in the abdomen. Qin Yi staggered back in pain, glaring at Wang Hao. “Wang Hao! You bastard! You actually used a woman as a shield!” he roared. “Hahaha, Qin Yi! If I say you’re stupid, you really are! Think carefully! Can you afford the consequences of hitting me? Think about your dad, think about your mom, think about the debts your family owes! You useless trash!” Qin Yi looked at Wang Hao, his eyes nearly bursting. His fists clenched tighter and tighter, but in the end, he let go... Some of the people around shook their heads and sighed, feeling the injustice for Qin Yi; others mocked him, calling him a spineless coward... But only Qin Yi knew that although he had lost, he hadn’t lost to Wang Hao, but to his family ties! Seeing Qin Yi like this, Wang Hao laughed loudly and turned around, his hand recklessly resting on Su Mo’s perky butt, squeezing it at will. “Let’s go! Dammit, I’m happy today! Which bag did you mention last time?” “Oh, you’re so annoying, Brother Hao, so many people are watching...” Su Mo pressed close to Wang Hao, pulling his wandering arm around her waist. Her voice was extremely artificial, as if she had already forgotten how Wang Hao had just used her as a human shield. “Let them look! Let them watch...” Soon, amidst gazes of either envy or disdain, Wang Hao and Su Mo got into the yellow sports car. Then, the engine roared, and the yellow sports car thundered away from Modu University. Seeing that the main parties had left, the onlookers also lost interest. Meanwhile, Qin Yi remained standing there dazed. A clear footprint had been added to his graduation gown. A few hundred-yuan bills were scattered on the ground, drifting in the breeze along with the crushed rose petals.
00:00:00 - 00:01:02 Jeang Fong found himself transported to the enchanting realm of Pokemon where he was bestowed with the divine selection system. To his astonishment, the initial trio of Pokémon presented to him comprised the legendary Hoen deities Rayquaza, Grouden, and Kyogre. Please, host, make your choice of your initial Pokémon. Option one, select the green orb to acquire the sky dragon, Rayquaza. Option two, opt for the blue orb to gain the ocean god, Kyogre. Option three, choose the red orb to obtain the earth 00:00:32 - 00:01:37 god Grouden. Faced with this momentous decision, Jeanfong resolutely opted for the sky god, Rayquaza. Thus began the prologue to an exhilarating adventure, one that would see him ascend to the pinnacle of prowess as he gazed upon the myriad legendary Pokémon in his possession and mused how lonely it is to be invincible. This Rayquaza was obtained after clinching the Hoen League Championship whose rookie trainer uses Rayquaza to challenge gyms. Question Chinley. The media incessantly claims that the strongest trainer in Hoen is 00:01:04 - 00:02:10 Jeang Fong. He ought to take this championship, remarked Makoli that I only love digging for stones. If you seek a battle, Jeang Fong is your man, for I can never defeat him, declared Daigo. Jean Fong, let's have another battle. This time, I will not lose. Challenge Dash Jeang Fong. The matter of you bullying me previously has yet to be settled, warned Cynthia. Chapter one. My starter Pokemon are the Hoen deities in the Pokemon world. Hoen League, Old Town, a town that can be described as untouched by any hue. It is also the 00:01:37 - 00:02:32 birthplace of the protagonist from various versions of the Pokémon games, including Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and subsequent titles such as Pokémon Dark. Yet for Jean Fong, this was an entirely novel adventure. As a native of Earth and a fervent admirer of the Pokemon series, having immersed himself in its anime, games, and comics, just days prior, he had been diligently striving to complete Pokemon Emerald. Little did he know that upon finally conquering the game, he would unexpectedly find himself 00:02:04 - 00:03:06 transported to the Pokémon world as an orphan in Oldale Town. Well, since he was here, he might as well make the best of it. Gazing into the mirror, he saw his 18-year-old self still in the prime of youth, which filled him with joy. Before his transmigration, he had already been a 30-something adult, burdened by the woes of adulthood and the frailties of life. Now, thanks to this extraordinary turn of events, he was restored to the vigor of 18, brimming with vitality and energy, an opportunity too precious to squander. 00:02:35 - 00:03:32 Moreover, he had entered the realm of his beloved Pokémon. With optimal health and a renewed lifespan, Jeanfong found himself utterly content. However, now that he had crossed over, Jeanfong was eager to encounter the Pokemon he cherished to embark on a journey as a Pokemon trainer to challenge gyms and to ascend to the title of the strongest trainer just like Ash. Yet, there was one pressing issue. Jeang phone lacked a starter Pokémon. Though, Professor Burch also resided in Old Town tasked with 00:03:04 - 00:04:00 distributing the initial trio of Hoen starters, Trio, Torchic, and Mudkip. Jeangfong being an orphan without financial means had not embarked on a journey by the age of 18. He had remained in the town helping its residents in exchange for necessities or a bit of pocket change for survival. Had it not been for the kindness of Oldale's inhabitants who had looked after him, he would not have survived to this age. Furthermore, the other trainers had already claimed their initial Pokémon. And even if Jeang Fong yearned to 00:03:32 - 00:04:30 travel, it was likely that Professor Burge had no more starters left to offer. Ah, what a predicament. Jeang Fong sighed, casting a glance at his modest dwelling. This situation could only be described as destitute. Without a starter Pokémon and devoid of funds, he found himself unable to leave Oldale Town for other loc. The reason was simple. Without a Pokémon companion, encountering wild Pokémon in the wilderness would spell disaster for a mere human. That a moment's carelessness could lead to his demise at the hands of 00:04:01 - 00:04:56 a wild creature. Did he truly believe that he could best wild Pokémon solely with his physical prowess? as if he were the strongest rookie from Pallet Town. In such circumstances, Jeanfong feared he might not survive the attempt to leave Oldale Town. Thus, how could he even entertain the notion of becoming the world's strongest trainer? Alas, it seemed his travel plans were destined to be cut short. Just as these thoughts plague him, a melodious voice suddenly resonated in his mind, detecting 00:04:28 - 00:05:25 transmigrator Jeang foam binding system. Ding! Congratulations, host. You have acquired the divine selection system. It has been noted that you are concerned about your initial Pokémon and travel funds, hence a beginner's gift pack is hereby issued. Would you like to open the beginner's gift pack immediately? Upon hearing the voice, Jeang Phone was momentarily takenback, followed by an overwhelming surge of joy, his face lighting up with excitement, a system, a trans migrator. This seemed to be the 00:04:56 - 00:05:56 hallmark of a protagonist. Truly, one receives what one lacks. And thus, Jeang phone promptly addressed the system. Divine selection system. Please open the beginner's gift pack at once. Ding. Host has opened the beginner's gift pack. The divine selection system is now officially bound to you. Jeang foam. Unique and unchangeable. Ding. The beginner's gift pack contains the following three options. Option one. Select the green orb to acquire the sky dragon rayquaza and receive 1 million 00:05:26 - 00:06:30 poke dollars for travel expenses one master ball and five luxury balls. Option two, choose the blue orb to gain the ocean god Kyogre along with 800,000 poke dollars for travel, one master ball, and five ultra balls. Option three, opt for the red orb to obtain the earth god grouden with 700,000 poke dollars for travel, one master ball, and five regular poke balls. At this moment, as Jeang Fong beheld the gleaming options before him, he stood frozen in astonishment. Whose benevolence granted such legendary Pokémon as starters? 00:05:59 - 00:06:54 Typically, trainers in the Hoen region would receive their initial Pokemon from Professor Burch, which would be Trio, Torchic, or Mudkip, each evolving into formidable and popular final forms. To acquire such illustrious starters would ordinarily require one to be a direct member of the Pokémon League or a trainer favored by the professors. Of course, if one hailed from a prestigious family, there would be no need for concern over initial Pokémon, perhaps even acquiring something superior to the 00:06:26 - 00:07:26 typical starters. Take for instance the former Hoen champion Zineodigo whose initial Pokémon was a dazzling semi-define shiny Beldum. Yet for someone like Jeang Fong, an orphan, the norm would be to lead a life akin to that of a bug catching boy leading a mundane existence as a backdrop to the true champions. Originally, Jean Fong had intended to capture a caterer pie or something similar, leveraging the rapid evolution of bugtype Pokémon as a transitional phase toward becoming a Pokémon master. However, with the 00:06:56 - 00:07:52 arrival of the divine selection system, Jeangfang's fate had undergone a remarkable transformation. At the very least, he would no longer need to gamble his life to acquire his first ordinary Pokémon. From this point forward, as a possessor of legendary Pokémon, Jeanfong would undoubtedly rise to join the ranks of the elite, even if he currently possessed only a single legendary creature. After exhaling a deep breath to dispel his anxiety, Jeang began to contemplate the implications. The Hoen 00:07:24 - 00:08:27 deities held immense fame among Pokemon enthusiasts. Grouden, also known as the god of the earth, is often referred to as the one who cannot fly. It possesses the formidable ability to ren the land of sunder and recreate continents, embodying the essence of both fire and ground type legendary Pokémon. Kyogre, the antithesis of Grouden, is colloquially known as the flying great whale, the watertype deity. It engages in perpetual life and death battles with Groudon, reigning as the god of the ocean. Rayquaza, a legendary Pokémon of 00:07:56 - 00:08:58 both dragon and flying types, is revered as the god of the sky, wielding immense authority. Each time Grouden and Kyogre clash, it is Rayquaza who descends to quell their strife. In its natural habitat, Rayquaza resides within the ozone layer, and should cosmic entities threaten, it emerges to defend the Earth. Its remarkable prowess allows it to confront both opponents simultaneously, effortlessly restoring peace between the two. In terms of base stats, both Grouden and Kyogre possess slightly lower values than Rayquaza, 00:08:26 - 00:09:24 totaling 670 points, while Rayquaza boasts a total of 680 points. Moreover, we must consider certain portrayals in the anime, particularly that of the shiny Mega Rayquaza, which showcase the extraordinary strength to single-handedly combat six legendary Pokémon. Thus, when Jean Foam encountered this choice, he had already formed a resolution in his heart that of course the level of poke balls and the amount of poke dollars, the exclusive currency of the Pokémon world seemed trivial in the presence of legendary

Thus, when Jean Foam encountered this choice, he had already formed a resolution in his heart that of course the level of poke balls and the amount of poke dollars, the exclusive currency of the Pokémon world seemed trivial in the presence of legendary 00:08:55 - 00:09:55 beings. Regardless, these funds would suffice for Jeang Fong to lead a comfortable life for quite some time. Well then, system I choose. Chapter 2. Choosing Rayquaza, the system space system, I choose the green orb. Rayquaza selection confirmed. Once Jean Foong had made up his mind, his choice was unequivocally established. That choice was none other than the sky god Rayquaza. With the formidable power of the sky god as Jeangfangs initial Pokémon, his journey as a trainer would undoubtedly transform into an invincible 00:09:25 - 00:10:23 path. This was truly a legendary creature, one that even champions and elite trainers would find insurmountable. Moreover, in terms of resources and pokeballs, this choice surpassed that of Grouden and Kyogre, as 1 million Pokémon coins would suffice for Jeang Foam to procure ample training supplies. In this world of Pokémon, an affiliated trainer of the Alliance is one who can obtain initial Pokémon from various professors and acquire a Pokédex. During their travels, they are entitled to complimentary food, lodging, 00:09:55 - 00:10:50 and the medical treatment of their Pokémon at Pokémon centers across the regions. However, without a Pokedex or a starter Pokemon from the regional trio, one falls into the category of non-affiliated or wild trainers who must bear their own expenses. Lodging meals and medical care at a Pokémon center would typically cost around 1,000 Pokémon coins per night, while a standard Pokeball is priced at 200 coins. Though these prices are not exorbitant, the daily expenses of staying at a Pokémon center for healing 00:10:22 - 00:11:19 after battles can accumulate significantly. Thus, it becomes evident how challenging it is for an ordinary individual to alter their destiny. Only those hailing from affluent families can afford to wholeheartedly embark on the path of a trainer for their descendants. Upon Jangfangs selection of Rayquaza, he once again heard the systems notification chime. Ding. Congratulations, host. You have chosen the green orb, obtained the legendary Pokémon Rayquaza, and received a reward of 1 million Pokémon coins as travel 00:10:50 - 00:11:51 funds, one master ball, and five luxury balls. Ding. The system space has been activated. The host can store all items, resources, including Pokémon, within the system space. This system space can simulate the most suitable living environment for the host's Pokémon, allowing for superior growth and even enabling simulated battles within the system space. Rayquaza is already within the system space. The host can access it at any time. Ding. The host's current attribute panel is as follows. Host 00:11:20 - 00:12:20 Jeanfong age 18. Funds 1 million Pokemon coins. Pokemon Rayquaza attributes can be viewed. Items five luxury balls attached system space. Upon hearing these announcements from the system, Jangfong could not help but feel overwhelming joy. The divine selection system actually came with a system space, which meant that all the legendary Pokémon he would capture in the future could remain by his side, and summoning them would merely be a thought away. Even Rayquaza would not need to remain confined within a Pokeball. With 00:11:51 - 00:12:52 Rayquaza's protection, Jeang Fong would be virtually invincible in this Pokemon world, ensuring the safety of his life and possessions. He would face any nefarious organizations, be it Team Rocket, Team Aqua, or Team Magma, without a trace of fear. A single luxury ball in the Pokémon League store cost a staggering 20,000 Pokémon coins, 100 times the price of a standard Pokeball. Now, having received five for free, he could indeed begin to assemble his first team. Although luxury balls are expensive, their advantages are immense. 00:12:21 - 00:13:15 They significantly enhance the bond between trainer and Pokémon and provide a considerably better living condition for Pokémon within their confines. However, with the existence of the system space, it seems that their only advantage remains the increase in intimacy. After all, how could a Pokeball space compare to the entirety of the system space? Perhaps Ash's Pacu's reluctance to return to its Pokeball stems from the mundane environment of a standard Pokeball. At this moment, holding the master ball 00:12:48 - 00:14:01 designated for Rayquaza, Jean Fong opened Rayquaza's attribute panel. Ding. Rayquaza's current attributes are as follows. Pokemon Rayquaza, divine role, sky god. Level 100. Ability: Airlock. Type: Dragon flying. Qualification. Color. Qualifications range from white, green, blue, purple, gold, red to color in ascending order. Bond evolution unlocked. Mega evolution. Mega Rayquaza skills. Dragon Ascent, Dragon Pulse, Dragon Breath, Outrage, Intimacy, 255. Experience: Guardian of the World's 00:13:24 - 00:14:23 Skies, now devoted solely to protecting its trainer under the guidance of mysterious powers. Hobby enjoys battle. At this moment, gazing at Rayquaza's extraordinarily lavish attributes, Jeang found himself entranced. Upon seeing Rayquaza's divine role, his heart swelled with joy. It is well known that in the Pokemon world, the disparity in strength between divine beasts with roles and those without is vast. For instance, take Articunino, a secondary divine Pokémon. Possessing a divine role 00:13:54 - 00:14:49 allows it to contend with even Lugia at certain moments. The three divine birds with divine roles can easily overpower Lugia, whereas the weaker Articuno could be defeated by Ash's Charizard. This is the reality of that gap. A divine Pokemon with a divine role will only face defeat against another divine Pokemon of superior strength. However, more often than not, the outcome is a stalemate, akin to the rivalry between Kyogre and Grouden. Jeangfangs Rayquaza had already reached the pinnacle level 00:14:21 - 00:15:24 of 100, requiring no further training as it was already a fully realized entity. The qualification was also of the highest caliber being color. In this world, Pokemon qualifications are categorized into seven tiers: white, green, blue, purple, gold, red, and color. As the sky god, Rayquaza exists at the zenith of qualification, and the potential of divine Pokémon is undoubtedly formidable. Continuing to scrutinize further, the intimacy was a perfect 255, ensuring that Rayquaza would heed its trainer's commands 00:14:53 - 00:15:53 without hesitation. Furthermore, Rayquaza possessed the capability for mega evolution, transforming into the formidable mega Rayquaza. However, the bond evolution remained in an unlocked state, which puzzled Jong Fo. Wasn't this form of evolution exclusive to Ash and his Greninja? Could it be that Rayquaza also has its own bond evolution form? With a sense of confusion and curiosity, Jeang inquired of the system system. What does it mean that bond evolution is unlocked? Following Jeangfangs inquiry, the system 00:15:22 - 00:16:20 responded, returning to the host. Any Pokemon belonging to the host can achieve bond evolution through maximum intimacy, provided there is a mutual understanding between trainer and Pokémon, facilitated by the system to become stronger. However, as the intimacy between the host and Rayquaza has not yet reached its maximum, once the host and Rayquaza achieve mutual understanding, it will naturally be unlocked. Additionally, all Pokémon possess a state of Mega Evolution, but current human research on Pokémon is not 00:15:51 - 00:16:49 exhaustive, resulting in only a few discovered Mega Evolution forms. As long as the host acquires their Mega Evolution stones, they too can undergo mega evolution. Upon hearing the systems clarification, Jeang Fong understood, "All Pokémon possess a mega evolution state, but bond evolution can only be attained through the power of the system. As for which evolutionary method is superior, that is a matter of personal perspective. This indicates that regardless of what Pokemon Jongfong captures in the future, he will have the 00:16:20 - 00:17:15 potential to unlock their powers as long as one acquires their mega evolution stone or achieves maximum friendship, the two evolution methods, mega evolution and bond evolution, can be unlocked. Regarding his fondness for battle, Jean Foong expressed that in the future, during worthy confrontations, he would certainly summon his Rayquaza to fight. With this understanding, Jehong commanded, "System, I wish to enter the system space." At that moment, Rayquaza resided within Zongfangs system space. 00:16:48 - 00:17:47 Since the system indicated that his bond with Rayquaza was not yet at maximum, it was imperative to cultivate their synergy. Similarly, Jean Fong was eager to witness the true form of Rayquaza. Previously, he had merely been an observer watching anime and playing games. Nothing could compare to the exhilaration of witnessing it firsthand. In the next instant, as the system responded, Jeang Fong felt a flash before his eyes. Subsequently, he found himself within the system space. Upon opening his eyes, he beheld a vast 00:17:17 - 00:18:19 expanse filled with prairies, oceans, lakes, mountains, volcanoes, and forests, an unbounded realm that felt entirely new. However, this new world appeared remarkably desolate. Just as Jeang Fo marveled at the system space, a resounding roar echoed through time and space. Turning towards the source of the sound, he was met with the sight of a massive green and gold three-clawed dragon soaring through the sky. P S. The qualifications range from low to high as follows: white, green, blue, purple,
