"Master, the application's progress is going very well." Haze said.
"Well, we can launch the video hosting app in a few days." Shin would release these two apps and wait until they gain some recognition.
"Master, what will you do after this?"
"I'm going to make some more money on the foreign exchange market, buy a few more media companies and a small game company."
"That's great Master. Your games are excellent." Haze thought Shin's games could make a lot of money.
"I will look for the best options for media and games companies." Haze would compile which media companies would be the best within Shin's financial capabilities.
"Master, R&T is improving its financial condition thanks to your recommendations." Haze said.
"Well that's good; however, I'll change the name of this company later." Shin would no longer use the name "R&T".
*Knock!* Knock!*
Shin heard a knock at his door. He frowned a little, but still got up to open it.

"Sister, didn't you say we couldn't see him today?" Mya said.
"The current situation has given us an unexpected advantage, so we can take a little time." Maya replied.
"Good." Mya agreed with her sister.
They were talking when they heard the sound of the door opening. When Shin was about to open his mouth, Mya entered the room as if it were her own home.
"How are you?" Mya asked. "You were so amazing on television; however, it's surprising that you made so much money in a single operation."
"Thanks." Shin thanked her.
"We came to talk. Can we go in?" Maya asked; however, her question didn't make sense, because Mya was already inside.
"Well, I don't care." Shin returned to pack his bags. He was leaving this room today.

"Why are you packing your bags?!" Mya asked with a complex expression.
"My house has just been renovated so I'll be back today." He replied.
"I see…" Mya said with a slightly dejected expression. She wanted to ask him for his address, but she knew this could be too weird, so she kept quiet.
"Can we talk a little bit?" Maya asked.
"Well, I don't care."
Maya sat on the couch and looked at Shin with a puzzled expression.
"Did you put up those posters?" Maya asked. Mya was a little surprised by Maya's question, she had also been thinking about this possibility; however, she thought that would be very unlikely, as Shin didn't have that much power.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Shin replied.
"You are a terrible liar." Maya said with an imperceptible smile. She didn't know how Shin had done it; however, she didn't ask, because he probably wouldn't answer.
"Well if you came here just to ask about it then I'm leaving." Shin had very important things to do, so he didn't have time right now.
"Where do you think you're going?!" Mya asked, dragging Shin into the bedroom.
"Let's play today!" She didn't wait for his answer and took the video game out of her bag.
*Sigh!*
Shin took the other controller and sat next to Mya.
"Let's level up today." She chose her character and started the game. Maya also wanted to play, but she didn't want to take the initiative; however, Mya ended up doing that, so she took the other controller and chose her character.
"Shin, mages are much better than swordsmen. Why don't you choose a mage?" Mya asked.
*bam!*
Shin did a karate chop to Mya's head.

"Its hurts! Why did you hit me?!" Mya asked with an indignant expression.
"You should never underestimate the sword, martial arts, or anything else. To answer your question, I use the swordsman class, because you keep trying to kill yourself among enemies."
"Humph! I don't do that, and why don't you just let me die?" Mya could just restart the game.
"Because my role on the team is to protect you." Shin replied.
"Shin…" Mya looked up at him with her eyes shining. Maya had a slight pang in her heart at Shin's words, but she suppressed the feeling and went back to playing.
"Well, today I'm going to teach you how to create spells, increase their potency and also how to control them better." Shin said while looking at the video game screen.
"See, if you carry the spell longer than usual, it gets stronger." Shin said as he pointed to the screen.
"Got it, so do we have to carry our spells?" Mya asked.
"No, just watch the character do it." Shin said.
"Hmm… is he compressing the spell?" Maya asked with an expression of doubt.
"Exactly, he's compressing the spell. Don't judge the potency of each spell just by its size. Inside a tennis ball, it can 'contain' an atomic bomb." Shin said.
"I understood." Mya and Maya nodded.
"Well, let's go to the next step. You can use 'corners' to do a certain spell; however, I don't recommend that."
"Why?" Mya asked.
"Because they're ineffective. A 'chant' makes it easier for you to imagine a certain spell; however, it takes more time and also lessens the spell's power." Shin replied.
"Open your skill trees and evolve the 'No chanting' skill. You too can learn through practice."
The two nodded and did as Shin asked.
"One thing you always need to keep in mind is: Magic is imagination."
"You need to use your imagination to perform magic. The possibilities are endless, you just need to think, understand and practice. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" 2x
"Good." Shin smiled and continued to play.
'They really learn fast.' Shin thought with a smile.

Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero (Update 09/19/21)
(Updated 09/19/21) Hello and welcome. If you made it this far and the book title sounds interesting, I'm hoping you'll read a few chapters. Here's a sample from chapter 1 of "Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero."Slowly starting to wake up, I become aware. It's like coming out of a fog.Head hurts.Body hurts.There's a conversation in the room. This isn't my bed. Someone is touching my arm. I crack my eyes to look. She doesn't notice. Is she praying for me? Her hands do feel good…do feel... Slipping back unconscious, my eyes slowly close. I didn't notice the soft green glow under Jenn’s hands.*******************"It does look like he saved them or at least stalled them long enough for us to get there." says the man dressed more like a park ranger than an officer of the law. "I did think he was part of it at first" he continues "but the evidence shows he wasn't there and they were certainly fighting on that back road where we found them""I don't care who he is." says a woman as she enters the room. "He saved and protected my Jenn. I will make sure there's not a mark or a scar on him before he leaves". As she continues the few steps over to the men speaking, even though dressed simply in common clothes, there is no doubt the race of elves is in her heritage. The grace and lines of her form. The elegance and lightness of her step. She glances at her daughter, still watching over the young man in the bed. "Do we know who he is yet?" she asks no one in particular."Not yet dear" a man in a white coat responds. A handsome middle-aged man. Fit, but not that of a fighter or ranger. "I asked Talon to bring another identification stone with him. I was hoping ours was just broke, but it's reading the same.""What do you think is wrong?" Talon asks."I'm thinking we just have to wait until he recovers. I have heard of cases where the stone didn't work. Powerful spells can hide or wipe a person clean. I doubt he's a spy or a criminal. Spells like that are just too high level if, they're used at all. My best guess is, there is just some disconnect with him being unconscious. When he wakes, we can ask him or use the stone again then."I find myself waking up in a hospital bed. The attending Doctor finds it odd that he cannot identify my class. An Officer says I’m a Hero for saving a girl from being kidnapped, but he’s asking too many questions for my liking. I know an accusing tone when I hear it. I don’t remember any of it and I need to find my way home.Author’s notes. Original work. First draft and update of chapters 1-16. Inspired by various fantasy games and books. Written with a focus on character development and interaction. Combat, progression, leveling, classes, but no numbers or stats. I’ll try to keep the language clean, PG-13, no smut. I’m in the US, writing in English. Almost fifty chapters are completed as I pen this introduction. I intend to complete this story or at least bring it to a proper ending. I have a destination in mind. I find as I write, doors and ideas open, while others close and are discarded. The tentative release schedule will be once a week. I'm new to creating. My apologies now while I learn. I have not settled on a book cover or artwork, still looking for something that fits. Registered & Protected #20VjeKDv2U6nynW6

A short story collection set in a medieval Fantasy world, "Wonderous Tales of the Northern Kingdoms" takes you to the three kingdoms Seathornia, Sucellie, and Waldbergen. Follow their human and nonhuman inhabitants on their adventures.

The short stories are interconnected with characters from different stories crossing paths and chronological dependencies. Nonetheless, each story can also be read on its own. The word count ranges from ca. 1800 to 2800 words. The story collection is completed with a total of fifteen short stories and two extras. Although a possible future continuation is generally an option, it is not too likely.*******This is my first time publishing one of my fictions. I am using this short story collection as a way to test the waters before I seriously consider publishing a novel. As English isn't my mother tongue, I would appreciate it if native speakers, anglicists or any other proficient users of the English language could kindly inform me about any mistakes in grammar or word choice so that I may correct it. The same applies to any sentence or paragraph that may sound unnatural in English.
