reduced to black ash.They captured eight invaders over there. Two of the invaders were consumed by flames the moment the defense shield broke open at the edge of the energy sphere, leaving only ashes...I am a failure, I hardly notice whether the sun is shining or not, because I don't have time.

"My parents can't offer me support, and my education isn't high. I'm alone in the city, searching for the future."

I applied for many jobs, but none of them worked out. Maybe no one likes someone who isn't good at talking, doesn't like to socialize, and hasn't shown enough ability.

I went three whole days eating only two pieces of bread. Hunger kept me from sleeping at night. Luckily, I had paid a month's rent in advance and could still stay in that dark basement, avoiding the biting cold wind outside during the winter.

Finally, I found a job, working the night shift at a hospital, guarding the morgue.

The hospital at night was colder than I imagined. The corridor lights weren't on, and it was pitch black everywhere. I could only see my feet by the faint light seeping out of the rooms.

The smell there was awful, and every now and then they'd bring in a dead body stuffed into a body bag. We'd help carry him into the morgue.

“This isn't a good job, but at least it allows me to buy bread. My free time at night can be used for studying after all, not many people want to come to the morgue unless there's a body to be brought in or taken away for cremation. Of course, I don't have enough money to buy books yet and I can't see any hope of saving up for them.”

I have to thank my former colleagues. If he hadn't suddenly resigned, I might not even have gotten this job.

“I dream of being able to switch shifts and work during the day. Right now, I sleep when the sun is up and wake up when it’s night, which has made my body a little weak, and my head occasionally aches.”

One day, the movers brought in a new corpse.

According to others, this is my former colleague who abruptly resigned.

I was a little curious about him. After everyone left, I pulled out the drawer and quietly opened the body bag.

He was an old man, his face pale and blue, covered in wrinkles. In the very dim light, he looked quite frightening.

He had little hair, most of it white. He was stripped naked, with not even a scrap of cloth left on him.

I saw a strange mark on his chest, blue-black in color. I couldn't describe its exact shape because the lighting was too dim at the time.

I reached out and touched the mark. It wasn't anything special.

Looking at this former colleague of mine, I wondered if I kept going down this path, would I end up like him when I got old...

I told him that I would accompany him to the crematorium tomorrow and personally take his ashes to the nearest free cemetery. That way, those in charge of these matters wouldn't have to bother with finding a river or a wasteland to dispose of them carelessly.

"That will sacrifice an entire morning of sleep for me, but luckily, it's Sunday soon, so I can make it up.

"

After I said that, I got the body bag ready and put it back in the closet.

The light in the room seemed to have dimmed....

After that day, every time I slept, I always dreamt of a thick fog.

"I have a premonition that something will happen soon, that sooner or later some thing that I can't even call human will come to find me. But no one believes me. They think that in this kind of environment, doing this kind of work, my mind has become unstable and I need to see a doctor..."

A male patron sitting at the bar looked toward the speaker who had suddenly stopped.

Then what

This male guest is in his thirties, wearing a brown tweed jacket and light yellow trousers. His hair is slicked back, and he has a simple dark round felt hat in his hand.

He looked ordinary, much like most of the people in the tavern. He had black hair, light blue eyes, and was neither unattractive nor handsome, lacking any particularly noticeable features.

And in his eyes, the narrator was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man, tall and slender, with short black hair and light blue eyes. However, his features were striking, enough to make one's eyes widen.

The young man looked at the empty wine glass in front of him and sighed.

Then

Then I quit my job and moved back to the countryside, here to chat with you.

As he spoke, a smile crept across his face, a sly and suggestive smile.

The male customer was taken aback.

"Were you just boasting"

"Haha." A burst of laughter erupted around the bar.

After a moment of silence, a thin middle-aged man looked at the somewhat embarrassed guests and said:

"A stranger, you actually believe Lumian's stories He tells different ones every day! Yesterday he was a poor man whose fiancee broke off the engagement, and today he's become a mortician!"

"Yeah, talking about thirty years on the east bank of the Selenzo River, thirty years on the west bank, only knows gibberish!" Another regular at the tavern chimed in.

They are all farmers from the large village of Kordu, wearing short tops that are either black, gray, or brown.

A young man with black hair, known as Lumian, propped himself up on the bar with his hands and slowly stood up, saying with a grin:

As you know, these aren't stories I made up. They were written by my sister. She loves writing stories and is even a columnist for something called "Fiction Weekly."

After finishing, he leaned his body sideways and extended his hand to the guest from afar, grinning broadly:

"She writes really well. Star Wen Reading app"

"Sorry, I misunderstood."

The ordinary-looking man in a brown tweed jacket didn't get angry. He stood up, smiling and replying:

Interesting story.

What shall I call you

"Isn't it common sense to introduce yourself before asking others questions" Luman laughed.

The visitor from out of town nodded.

"My name is Ryan Cos."

"These two are my companions, Valentine and Lyra."

The following sentence refers to a man and a woman sitting right next to each other.

Star Wen Reading App

He was a man in his late twenties, with yellow hair sprinkled with powder. His eyes weren't large, but they were the color of lake water, only deeper. He wore a white waistcoat, a blue tweed jacket, and black trousers. It was clear he had taken great care in dressing up before going out.

He looked rather cold and aloof, not paying much attention to the farmers and herdsmen around him.

The woman appeared to be younger than the two men. She had long, light gray hair styled into a complex bun, topped with a white cloth that served as a veil.

Her eyes, the same color as her hair, looked at Lumi an with undisguised amusement. She seemed to find what had just happened rather amusing.

Under the illumination of the gas lamps in the pub, this woman named Lyra displayed a rather pert nose and lips of graceful curvature. In a rural village like Colordu, she was undoubtedly considered beautiful.

She was wearing a white, wrinkle-free cashmere bodycon dress, paired with a beige short jacket and a pair of Marc Ellis knee-high boots. A silver bell was attached to each side of the veil and boot. When she walked into the tavern just now, the clinking sound was very noticeable, attracting the attention of many men who couldn't help but stare.

In their eyes, this must be the fashionable attire only available in provincial capitals like Gor or the larger city of Terril.

Lumia nodded to the three foreigners.

"My name is Luminan Li, you can call me Luminan."

"Li" Leah blurted out.

"What's wrong Is there something about my last name" Lumián asked curiously.

Ryan Costigan explained:

"Your last name is intimidating, I almost lost control of my voice just now."

Seeing the puzzled looks on the faces of the surrounding farmers and herdsmen, he went on to explain further:

Anyone who has come into contact with sailors and sea merchants knows that there is a saying circulating above the Five Seas:

It's better to face pirate generals and even kings than to meet someone named Frank Lee.

"That person's last name is also Li."

"Is he scary" Lumian asked.

Ryan shook his head.

I'm not sure, but since there are such legends, it definitely won't be bad.

He changed the subject, turning to Lumin.

"Thank you for your story, it deserves a drink. What will you have"

"One 'Green Fairy' please," Lu Mian wasn't at all shy and sat back down again.

Ryan Cosgrave frowned: "Stargazer reading app"

"Green Fairy... Absinthe"

I think I need to remind you that absinthe is harmful to the human body. This drink can potentially cause mental disturbances and hallucinations.

"I didn't expect that Terrill's trend would have spread here already," Leah added with a smile.

Lumen gasped.

"It turns out that people in Terril also like to drink 'Green Fairy'...

"

"For us, life is already tough enough. There's no need to worry about a little more hurt. This drink can give our spirits even greater relaxation."

"Alright," Ryan sat back down and looked at the bartender, "One 'Green Fairy', and another one 'Hot Lips' please."

"La xin kou" is a famous fruit soju.

"Why not give me a 'Green Fairy' too It was I who told you the truth just now, and I can tell you everything about this boy!" The first man to expose Lumian's daily storytelling, a thin middle-aged man, shouted angrily, "Outsider, I can tell that you still have doubts about whether the story is true or not!"

"Pierre, for a free drink you'll do anything!" Lumian responded loudly.

Before Lane could make a decision, Lumian added:

"Why can't I be the one to tell it Then I could have another 'Green Fairy'."

"Because of what you said, they don't know whether to believe it or not," the middle-aged man named Pierre said with a smug smile. "Your sister always tells children stories like 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf,' and those who always lie will inevitably lose their credibility."

"Alright." Lumiang shrugged and watched the bartender push a pale green drink toward him.

Ryan looked at him, inquiringly.

Can I

"No problem, as long as your wallet can afford these drinks," Lumian said nonchalantly.

"Then another 'Green Fairy' for me." Ryan nodded.

Pierre was smiling from ear to ear.

"That generous outsider, this kid is the biggest prankster in the village. You guys better stay away from him."

Five years ago, he was brought back to the village by his sister Aurore and never left. You see, before that, he was only thirteen years old. How could he possibly have been a pallbearer at a hospital Well, the nearest hospital to us is in Daléj, down in the mountains, and it takes a whole afternoon to get there.

"Bring it back to the village" Leah asked sharply.

She tilted her head slightly, making a clinking sound.

Pierre nodded.

Then, he followed Orall's surname 'Li', and even his name 'Lumiang' was given by Orall.

"I can't even remember what it was originally called," Lumin said, taking a swig of absinthe and grinning.

It seems he wasn't ashamed or embarrassed at all about his past being exposed like this. After an endless period of unconsciousness, Shiyu suddenly sat up in bed.

He breathed in the fresh air deeply, his chest heaving.

Confusion and bewilderment, a myriad of emotions surge within me.

What is this

Then, Shiyu unconsciously observed his surroundings, and became even more confused.

A single dormitory

Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the hospital now.

...and yet his own body... how could there be no injuries at all.

With a hint of suspicion, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept across the room before finally settling on the mirror on his bedside table.

The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was very handsome.

The problem is, this isn't him! Download the Starry Reading app to read the latest chapters ad-free and for free.

Before, I was a handsome young man in my twenties with an extraordinary air. I had been working for some time.

...but now, looking at him, he seems like just a high school student....

This change left Shiyu stunned for a long time.

For heaven's sake, don't tell him the surgery was a success...

His body and appearance have completely changed. This isn't just a matter of surgery or not; it's clearly the work of magic.

He had completely transformed into a different person!

Could it be...that I crossed over

Besides the mirror placed at the head of the bed, which was clearly in a bad feng shui position, Shiyu also found three books beside it.

Shiyu picked it up and took a look. The title instantly made him silent.

A Beginner's Guide to Raising a Pet

Shi Yu:

The first two book titles are normal, but what's with the last one

"Cough."

Shi Yu's eyes narrowed, and he reached out his hand, but quickly froze his arm.

Just as he was about to open the third book and see what it was, his brain suddenly throbbed, and a flood of memories surged into him.

Ice Age City.

Pet Breeding Base.
