My parents can't provide me with support, and my education level is not high. I am alone in the city, searching for my future.

I applied for many jobs, but none of them worked out. Perhaps no one likes someone who is not good at speaking, does not like to communicate, and has not shown enough ability.

"I went three whole days eating only two pieces of bread. Hunger kept me awake at night. Luckily, I had paid my rent a month in advance, so I could still stay in that dark basement and avoid the biting winter wind outside."

Finally, I found a job, working the graveyard shift at the hospital. I'm in charge of the morgue.

The hospital at night was colder than I imagined. The corridor's wall lights were not turned on, and it was pitch black everywhere. I could only make out the ground beneath my feet by the faint light seeping out from the rooms.

The smell there was awful, and from time to time corpses were brought in stuffed into body bags. We helped move them into the morgue.

"This isn't a good job, but at least it allows me to buy bread. I can also use my free time in the evenings to study. After all, not many people are willing 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 don't see any hope of saving up anytime soon."

I have to thank my former colleague. If he hadn't suddenly quit, I probably wouldn't even have gotten this job.

I dream of being able to rotate my work schedule, instead of sleeping when the sun is out and waking up at night. Right now, my body feels a little weak, and my head occasionally aches.

One day, the movers brought in a new corpse.

"I heard from others that this is my former colleague who suddenly quit."

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, looking quite frightening under the dim lighting.

He had little hair, mostly white, and was completely stripped naked. There wasn't even a scrap of cloth left on him.

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

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

Looking at this former colleague of mine, I was thinking, if I keep going like this, will I end up like him when I'm 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 wouldn't have the hassle of finding a river or some desolate spot to just dump them.

This will cost me a morning's sleep, but luckily, it's Sunday tomorrow and I can catch up.

After I said that, I put the body bag back in the closet.

The lights in the room seemed dimmer...

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

“I have a feeling that something big is going to happen soon. I feel like something, maybe not even human, is going to come for me eventually. But no one believes me. They think that working in this kind of environment has made me mentally unstable and that I need to see a doctor...”

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

What then

This male guest is in his thirties, wearing a brown tweed jacket and light yellow trousers. His hair is pressed flat, and he has a simple, dark-colored round top hat in his hand.

He looked ordinary, much like most of the people in the tavern. Black hair, light blue eyes, neither unattractive nor handsome, lacking any striking features.

In his eyes, the narrator was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man, tall and slender, also with black short hair and light blue eyes. However, his features were deep and striking, enough to make people's eyes widen at first glance.

This young man looked at the empty wine glass in front of him and sighed, “

Then

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

As he spoke, a smile crept across his face, a smile that held a hint of malice.

The male guest was taken aback.

"Were you just bragging"

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

After a brief pause in the laughter, a slender middle-aged man looked at the slightly awkward guest and said:

"Outsider, you actually believe Lumi an's stories He tells a different one every day. Yesterday he was a poor wretch whose fiancée broke off the engagement, and today he's a mortician!"

"Yeah, saying thirty years on the east bank of the Serenzo River and thirty years on the west bank is just rambling nonsense!" another regular at the tavern chimed in.

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

A young man with black hair, known as Lu Mian, supported himself on the bar with his hands and slowly stood up, saying with a smile:

As you know, this isn't a story I made up. It was written by my sister. She loves writing stories and is even a columnist for "Novel Weekly".

After finishing, he leaned to the side and gestured with his hand towards the visitor, grinning widely:

It seems she writes really well. Starry reading app

"I'm sorry for the misunderstanding."

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

An interesting story.

What's your name

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

The visitor from out of town nodded.

My name is Ryan Kos.

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

The following words refer to a man and a woman sitting right next to each other. Star Wen Reading App

He was a man in his late twenties or early thirties, with strands of blonde hair dusted with powder. His eyes, not particularly large, were a shade deeper than lake blue. He wore a white vest, a navy tweed jacket, and black trousers, clearly having taken care to dress well before leaving.

He looked rather indifferent, not paying much attention to the surrounding farmers and herders.

The woman appeared younger than the two men. She had long, light gray hair styled in a complex bun topped with a white headscarf.

Her eyes, the same color as her hair, gazed at Lumain with a smile that was impossible to disguise. She seemed to find amusement in what had just happened.

Under the warm glow of the gaslight in the tavern, this woman named Leah displayed a pert nose and lips of graceful curvature. In a rural village like Colordu, she was undoubtedly a beauty.

She wore a white, un-creased cashmere bodycon skirt, paired with a light beige short jacket and a pair of Massiell boots. Both the veil and boots had two silver bells attached to them, which jingled loudly as she walked into the tavern just now, attracting much attention. Many men stared at her openly.

In their eyes, this must be the fashionable attire only found in provincial capitals like Gol and the larger city of Terril.

Lumen nodded to the three strangers. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"My name is Lumian Li, you can just call me Lumian."

"Li" Lia blurted out.

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

Ryan Costeaux explained:

"Your last name is terrifying, I almost couldn't control my voice just now."

Seeing the puzzled looks on the farmers and herdsmen around him, he went on to explain further:

Anyone who has met sailors or merchants knows that there is a saying circulating among the Five Seas:

"I'd rather face pirate generals or even kings than encounter someone named Frank Lee."

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

"Is he scary" asked Lumian.

Ryan shook his head.

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

He changed the subject and addressed Lumian.

"Thank you for your story, it deserves a drink. What would you like"

"One cup of 'Green Fairy,' " Lumián said without hesitation, settling back down.

Ryan Cosgrave frowned: "Starlight Reading app."

"The Green Fairy... Absinthe"

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

"I didn't expect the trend of Terril to have reached here," Leah added with a smile next to her.

Lumin "Oh"ed.

"It turns out that people in Trier 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 wine can give our spirits even greater relaxation."

"Okay." Ryan sat back down and looked at the bartender. "One 'Green Fairy' and another 'Spicy Heart.'"

"Spicy Heart" is a famous fruit soju.

“Why don’t you get me a ‘Green Fairy’ too It was I who told you the truth just now, and I can tell you everything about this kid!” The first thin middle-aged man to expose Lumin’s daily storytelling angrily shouted, “Outsiders, I can see that you still doubt the truth of that story!”

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

Before Lane could decide, Lumin added:

"Why can't I be the one to tell it That way, I could have another cup of 'Green Fairy'"

"Because of what you said, they don't know whether to believe it or not," the middle-aged man named Pierre chuckled triumphantly. "Your sister loves telling children stories like 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf,' always lying and eventually losing all credibility."

"Alright." Lucian shrugged, watching the bartender slide a pale green drink towards him.

Ryan looked at him, asking:

"Can I"

"No problem, as long as your wallet can afford to pay for these drinks," Lyuman said unconcernedly.

"Then, another 'Green Fairy'" Ryan nodded.

Pierre was all smiles at the time:

"The 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 Aorol and has never left since. Think about it, before that, he was only thirteen years old, how could he possibly go to the hospital as a corpse watcher Well, the nearest hospital to us is in Darley down in the mountains, it takes an entire afternoon just to get there.

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

She tilted her head slightly, making a jingling sound.

Pierre nodded.

Then, he followed Orell named "Li," and even the name "Lumian" was given to him by Orell.

"I've forgotten what it was originally called." Lumiang took a sip of absinthe and said with a chuckle.

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

He took deep breaths of fresh air, his chest heaving.

Confusion and bewilderment, a surge of various emotions flooded my mind.

What is this

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

A single room

Even if he successfully received rescue, he should be in the hospital ward now.

Still my own body... how could there be no injuries at all

With a questioning look, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept across the room before finally settling on a mirror on the bedside table.

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

But that's not him! Download the Xingxing 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 bearing and had worked for some time.

And now, this appearance looks like a high school student...

This change left Shiyu stunned for a long time.

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 sorcery.

He had completely transformed into a different person!

Could it be...that I traveled through time

Apart from the mirror at the head of the bed that was obviously poorly placed according to feng shui, Shiyu also found three books beside it.

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

A Must-Have Handbook for New Pet Owners

Postnatal Care for Pets

Guide to Evaluating Different Monster Girl Races

Shiyu:

The first two book titles are normal enough, but what is the matter with the last one

"Cough."

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

Just as he was about to open the third book and see what it was, his brain suddenly shot with a pain, and a flood of memories surged in.
