《Honest Way of Living》Bright College
Advertisement
Sun Bright Country is a country made of a few smaller states governed by the upper people from the Capital. Rich natural resources and most of the land are protected by mountain forests. Sun Bright Country adopted a national policy of multiculturalism, which celebrates the country's diversity.
"The Capital"
It is where the talented people live and shine the most due to how developed that place is. The best college and universities are also located there. One needs to know the cost of living in the Capital is way too high for common people. In fact, most people who work there live outside the Capital.
Bright College is one of the best colleges in the Sun Bright Country. The students admitted to this college will be fully funded by the college depending on their talent. Most of the lecturers and instructors there are the best in their field. Every year people do everything just to be admitted there, whether as a student or an instructor.
The entrance examination will be done to select both students and staff. Unfortunately, only less than 5% will be accepted from thousands of applications. The examinations will be held at specific locations decided by the college around November. Candidates require to at least pass the physical test just to gain an opportunity for the mock interview and general knowledge test.
Asfa Hunt is one of the candidates applying to Bright College. He is a 30 years old guy who has worked as Physical Education (PE) teacher since he graduated 5 years ago. He has been taking care of his parents since his early 20s when they were fired from their job. Asfa had to do a part-time job to ensure he got enough money to feed three people, including him.
Recently, his house got destroyed by a sudden landslide that happened out of nowhere. He lost everything he had, except his family. He had to quit his job due to his inability to work. He had to look over his parents for a few months after the accident since they were traumatised by it.

The compensation he got barely covered half of his loans. With the number of debts he has right now, he knows he needs to get a better job, and being the instructor in the Capital is definitely worth trying. He sent his parents back to the Dawn Red village, located at least 1000 km away from the Capital.
Dawn Red village is one of the leading suppliers of most fruits. Even if it is not fully developed, the security and environment there are good enough for old people to live. He used some of his money left to rent a small house for his parents. At least they have a place to live and work at the fruit farms there.
"It's okay, son. We can take care of ourselves now. You should focus on yourself more. We will be fine"
With the last bit of his money left, Asfa rents a small apartment with just one room and bathroom at the edge of the Capital. Asfa knows whatever happens, he needs to work within the Capital. He is currently renting an apartment from an old guy who owns the supermarket nearby.
Asfa has been working as a part-timer at the supermarket. That was why the owner gladly rented the small apartment to him. While resting inside the supermarket staff room, Asfa opened his phone to check the result of the college examination. He entered his login details.

"Congratulation, you are accepted to be the PE instructor in our college. Do reply to this email before next week. For further information, you can download the agreement attached to this email. Feel free to contact ..."
"I made it !" Asfa had to stand due to the excitement. The workers there know about his dream to be an instructor at Bright College. Therefore, they realised that Asfa had succeeded. Uncle Ling, the supermarket boss, always thought that Asfa had what it takes to be the instructor there. In fact, Uncle Ling always treats Asfa nicely, just like his son.

"Uncle Ling, thank you for everything. I would not be able to succeed in this without your help. I will always remember this uncle !"
Asfa always treats Uncle Ling just like his father or uncle. He will always work hard with whatever duties he got during his part-time job here.
Uncle Ling : Oh don't worry Asfa. It was a pleasant time to work with you. With your honesty and endurance, I'm sure you will be able to be a good instructor there in the Capital. Not to mention, everyone here believes that you will be accepted there..
Asfa : Uncle Ling, thank you for everything. I would not be able to succeed in this without your help. I will never forget this uncle. By the way, I will still live in your apartment since I can just use the train here to go to the college in half an hour. A good way to save some money anyway.
Uncle Ling : Haha, still cheap as usual. Remember to visit us here when you are free later.
Asfa left the supermarket once he was done meeting with the workers there. In fact, some of the regular customers are so happy and excited when they know Asfa passed the entry exams.
He went back immediately to his apartment with the groceries he had bought for him to cook this week.
Asfa took his time to read the agreement and contract attached.

Magitech Awakenings
In this world of Terrapia, myth states that Dragons are caretakers of the chaos wheel, a band of energy that encircles the world, penetrating through the very fabric of the dimension. They tame and convert it, not only to fuel their primal magic, but also to gentler forms that man and beast alike can tap. But now they have faded away, being sighted less and less the past couple millennia. With magic weakening, science has taken root and in many cases merged in a symbiosis with magic. Guppy Bright, a 17 year old young woman, is a technomancer apprentice living in the bustling city of Nolusburg trying to make ends meet. Apprenticed to the enigmatic and somewhat crazy Technomancer Friedrich BrassTuner, she participates in an experiment meant to tap a new rich source of energy. However something goes horribly wrong and a rip in the very fabric of reality opens in the workshop, sucking in her mentor and ejecting a dying white dragon. The dragon, after examining her, takes a gamble and entwines their souls, an act that causes the dragon, Barthurthalomalew Dresnarian Kratomanger Harrowhew Objuslorow, the 5th, aka Batty, to regress into a baby dragon, sealing much of his powers and memories in the process. This act also has profound effects on Guppy, her own magic is now crazily changed in ways no one, least of all her, understands. Guppy is suddenly plunged into a world of mystery, intrigue and politics, where everyone either wants to control, or eliminate her. Armed with little but her courage and unpredictable newfound magic how will she survive and protect herself and those she loves when everyone from techno radicals, magic purists, politicians and guttersnipes are out to get her. And those may be the least of her problems if Batty's fragmented memories are any indicator.
