The second Li Rijie ascend to the Dreamland, the egg shakes as it emits a golden light.

The Next Morning
After having my soul almost remove out of my body when I found a huge egg laying beside me that frightens me to death, (seriously) I went to do my morning rituals which is to maintain my beauty. Yes, that is my weird habit. Everytime I woke up, I always feels like am a dead plant that hasn't been watered for a long time that's why I always put moisturizing cream every night. I'm poor but I know basic hygiene and maintaining my youth. Though, if you asked me, I'm just your average 18 years old student with an excellent mind and physics. (The only thing I can brag on)
Anyway, since light exercise is necessary, I always get up before 4. Then take a bath with last atleast an hour or so. Then prepare a light meal like egg, bread and a glass of milk. (What? it's for my bones. And I like milk)
Then for chosing school uniform, hmmm.. that's quite troublesome. The school has 3 different dress code. It is classified as Firstly, Secondly and Thirdly.
Firstly- is for freshmen student below sophomore. They're either first-year or elementary. The theme color for their uniforms are light blue. Supposedly, they need to wear there uniforms until the next year but since students in the upper class mostly mistaken the freshmen and elementary, so the school made a huge arrangements. Depending on the uniform styles where the students can recognize them.
Freshmen's uniforms are known as Light Knight which still in light blue color but only in their neckties. While the elementary uniform are called as Shine Pixels since their uniforms are mixed with deep blue and light blue which only visible in their collar.
Secondly- is for Sophomores. Color theme is yellow correspond to the sun.
Thirdly- is for Juniors. Their them color is green. Represents as the earth.
While we, the Seniors are red. But, what special to this is that we don't have a proper uniform. We only need to put a red banner in our left arm as a sign that we are superior that the rest. We don't need to follow their dress code. So that's how it works. 4th Grades have their own right to wear whatever they like. Though, their is only one rule, and that is DO NOT WEAR ANYTHING ABOVE KNEES OR EVEN WEAR SOMETHING THAT WILL REVEAL YOUR BODY or you will be sent to the Student Counsel's den and have a lifetime trauma, I mean an hour of lecture for the Triple R (Rights, Rules, and Regulations). The most dangerous place ever. More terrifying that the school head's office. That place is ruled with beasts.
As for the Students Council's uniform, their theme color is violet represent as harmony and peace. But the person who's incharge of that place is a monster. He is the King of Torture. I was just lucky I didn't bump into them even once. So if you ever pass with them change your route, IMMEDIATELY.
So now, I decided to wear a casual shirt, long pants, jacket and a snickers. Ofcourse don't forget the banner or else....
The class always start at 7. It's still 6, I have plenty of time to do whatever is necessary. As for this egg.. hmmmm
"Eggy, I will be away for a day. I'll be attending school so I won't come back until 5. You have to guard this dorm. Do not allow anyone to enter without my permission and do not let anyone sees you or else my billion dollars will fly away, Understand? Good"
As if it understand me. I might be crazy enough if I hear it talk. And for my bag.. Ah, forget it. I don't need it anyway. I'll just have to buy a new one if I have time.
Since I have more time to wonder, then I'll tell you a story. It happens when I was still 5 years old.
13 Years Ago (Vitnam Village, Osaca Mountain)
There's a legend in our village about the fierce beast whom save our ancestors long ago. It is said that the fierce beast have the eye of a demon, the teeth that made out of the finest silver and the skin that comparable to that dragon. My ancestors believe that it is a God disguised as a beast. A protector and Deity. They worship it more than the actual God. Since that fierce beast have the ability to destroy anything just by its feet and was feared by most of the creatures, my ancestors made a sculpture and a temple for it. They call it 'Sebaceous'. As for the temple, they name it 'Aster Hall Temple' and was build within the day. Only the devoted worshipers are allowed to enter. Not even outsiders, onlookers or any taoist or monk are permitted.
My father even told me that my great-great grandfather saw Sebaceous for real.
At first, I don't really believe in folktales. It is an absurd nonsense. There's no such thing that a fierce beast would help a mere human, what's more of protecting it. Maybe it was just an utter supernatural fiction to dispel their fear. Osaca Mountain is a virgin Island at that time. Lot of wild animals lurk every corner. From venomous reptiles, untamed carnivores and poisonous insects. Those things cripes them as they live above the city. What's more, if there's really a beast won't they be a headline news about them protecting our land? But no. None of it are even reported. So how come?
I read a lot of books that has been recorded only in our village. About this Sebaceous and it's origin. Unfortunately, I found nothing. Even a single picture of it were none. It was only a tale. A legend that only live in our ancestors imagination.
Oh, look at that. It's almost time to class.
"Eggy, I'll be going now. Bye"
Before I left I went near the egg and give it a kiss. Yes. I should take care of it as long as possible until I find a suitable buyer. It might be easy to look for a buyer but I need to be cautious. Scammers are now spreading like a plaque. It's better to be prepared than sorry.
