01:30 AM.
The room was completely silent, except for the sound of a person breathing evenly and calmly, evidently asleep. If it were not for the small amount of moonlight coming through the glass window and the curtains, the room would also be completely dark.
Inside the room, there were two people; an extremely handsome man and a beautiful woman. The person who was asleep was the beautiful woman. She had one of her arms around the man's waist, and her head rested comfortably on his chest. Judging by the smile on the woman's face, she was undoubtedly comfortable at this moment.
However, unlike the beautiful young woman who was sleeping happily, the man could not fall asleep.
The man had both arms behind his head, facing the barely visible white ceiling. The man's eyes shone with confusion and disbelief.
Although the room was almost completely dark, he could see everything with precise clarity, as if the purest light in the world were dwelling inside his eyes.
"*Sigh*... Damn, first the virtual world, now this... Even that superstar and that strange song... Forget it, I must try to sleep". The man whispered in a low voice before closing his eyes and trying to fall asleep once more, as he did all night long.

06:00 AM.
Punctual as always, Xie Feng's eyes slowly opened, leaving the world of dreams.
As usual, he moved Gu Qianxue carefully so as not to wake her up and, before getting out of bed completely, he gave her a brief kiss on the forehead.
Although he could disintegrate his body and move away from her like the wind, he prefers to have as normal a life as possible and enjoy every little thing that day to day brings. Otherwise, if he depended too much on his supernatural powers, he would begin to lose himself.
The thoughts of being a 'superior existence' or a 'chosen by the gods' are quite normal thoughts in most of the Espers all over the world. Although Xie Feng is very clear that the Espers are different people from the rest, he prefers to integrate as much as possible into the human world because no matter how powerful he is, it does not change the fact that he is a human being.
After opening the wardrobe, he took a deep blue shirt, black jeans, black boxers, and a black jacket. He left the jacket and shoes inside the room and went to another bathroom to take a shower.
He and the two beauties must go to college today.

Pudong Shangri-La East Shanghai.
The Pudong Shangri-La East Shanghai is one of the many luxury hotels that a metropolis like Shanghai has. It consists of two huge towers, both with beautiful views of the city and the Huangpu River.
The hotel is only 35 minutes from the international airport and only 30 minutes drive from the Shanghai Disneyland theme park. In addition, it is only a few minute's walks to the Shanghai University campus.
Naturally, each night's price in a five-star hotel is not something that any student can afford, therefore, except for a few privileged ones, the hotel never has university visitors.
Grand Tower, room #707:
One of the most expensive rooms, but at the same time with all the luxuries available in the hotel. The room was so big that it even had space for a small private pool. These types of rooms are usually reserved only for people who do not want to be seen by others for various types of reasons.
"Revolve the stars, in the middle of the world...♪
They say a butterfly dances in a forest somewhere whenever somebody sneezes...♪"
The beautiful woman's voice could be heard on the other side of the bathroom door. Judging by the sound of the water splashing, she was clearly taking a bath.
The woman's voice was not only sweet, but it was also charged with positive emotions, as was the song she was singing. Anyone who heard her sing would undoubtedly be affected by her voice and immersed in a fantasy world.
Apparently, the woman inside the bathroom had already been showering for a long time because after 5 minutes, the door opened and a great amount of steam came out of the interior as if it finally escaped from its bonds.
The woman's hair was a little damp, as a few drops of water slipped slowly down each strand of her dark hair. She was wearing only a long white T-shirt that was almost knee-high.
"*Sigh*... Xinya... how many times have I told you that you can't be dressed like that after taking a shower? I guess you haven't forgotten that in two weeks you have a concert here in Shanghai, right?". Said a beautiful woman in her 35's who was waiting standing next to the bathroom door. The woman was wearing a female business suit consisting of a pencil skirt, a white shirt, and a gray jacket, just like the skirt. She also wore glasses and high heels.
Shen Xinya gently shook her hair with a small towel and replied as she laughed: "Hehe... Yin Yue, I told you that if you continue to act so rigidly, then no man will want you~. Besides, the air conditioner is on, even if outside the room the world is freezing, it's very hot here, so I won't get sick".
"But still... You should be more careful with your health. Isn't it supposed that today you are going to meet with the Principal of Shanghai University?". Yin Yue apparently accepted Shen Xinya's answer, so she changed the topic.
Shen Xinya jumped up and down on the bed. Her body bounced all over the place, making Yin Yue worry that she would fall on the floor.
After she stopped bouncing, Shen Xinya stretched out her right arm and picked up a silver bracelet that was on the nightstand. She sat up and lifted her right hand, now with the bracelet, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I have to meet with the principal at noon... it's still early. I will take advantage of this time to finish my profession trial in Samsara Online~".
After saying that, Shen Xinya lay down comfortably on the bed. Soon, the bracelet lit up, and her eyes gently closed.
Seeing that, Yin Yue sighed in exasperation. No one would have expected the proud and noble superstar, the most beautiful woman in all of Asia, actually to be like a little devil.

[Welcome to Samsara Online. Wish you a happy reincarnation.]
The same message that all players receive when they login to Samsara Online.
Unlike most... or probably all, Shen Xinya lifted her beautifully overwhelming face and talked to the air: "Thank you as always! Also, thanks for letting me log off early without failing my test. Otherwise, it would be really hard for me~".
System: [...]
Shen Xinya went to the last door, the final challenge. After completing this test, she will finally be able to head to the Adastreia Continent and enjoy a world full of mysteries and adventures.
*Bang!*
The door opened and closed with an explosion behind it. As if she had experienced it before, Shen Xinya didn't seem surprised in the least. Without saying anything, she rummaged through her inventory for a moment and finally found what she was looking for.
Shen Xinya patted her chest repeatedly, causing her generously sized breasts to flutter, and she sighed with relief: "Fortunately you are here and you did not disappear like last time, otherwise I would lose again~".
Then, she looked towards the back of the room. There, the last challenge was waiting for her standing, just like the last time.
She approached slowly and pulled out a beautiful silver scepter from inside her inventory. The scepter was a little over a meter long and had many golden runes, making a great but beautiful contrast to the silver one.
While holding the scepter with her right hand, Shen Xinya pointed with her left hand at the monster in front of her, and with a small pout, she complained: "Little Cow! Last time you defeated me and killed me, making me lose a level. But this time, I will definitely win and go find my beloved!".
The bull that stood indifferently by an empty throne seemed enraged by the woman's words in front of it. Therefore, without hesitation, the bull began to run at full speed towards the disrespectful woman.
"Kya!".
Seeing the bull charging towards her at full speed, Shen Xinya cried out in fear. By instinct, she waved the scepter in her hands.
*Swoosh!*
A number of silver threads invisible to others except her emerged from the scepter and bound the bull.
What happened next was certainly a scene worth remembering. The bull raised its sword and began to cut itself!
The bull's health bar began to descend slowly but surely.
Seeing this, Shen Xinya sighed with relief and murmured: "I really don't know how this person named Shiva defeated this little cow... If it wasn't for the 'Scepter of Control' I don't even know if I could get through the first door of Despair mode".
Then she got serious and started drinking HP and MP potions simultaneously... Many potions as if the bull was attacking her and not itself. She was drinking so many potions that it seemed like her entire inventory was full of potions.
Shen Xinya looked out of the corner of her eye at a number that floated to the side of the beautiful scepter in her right hand.
