"Arthur!." A hoarse voice called out, but Arthur was unconscious. The stranger walked up to Arthur and tapped his cheeks, making Arthur sneeze.Arthur's muscles felt like no blood was rushing through his veins."What is happening to me?" He was shivering.His lips parted in extreme curiosity, and his eyes, which felt as though it have been clenched shut for a day, suddenly opened. He found himself standing in the middle of the ocean, and all he could hear was the sound of his feet at every movement and the splashes of water like raindrops. "Where is this place?" Twitching of great fear rushed through his spine, making goosebumps all over his body as his eyes kept gawking around. "Arthur," The same voice called out to him again, and when Arthur's gaze drifted around, it suddenly met that of a man with long white hair.Arthur's heart skipped at that moment. "Who are you?""Arthur," The man's smile widened, "You have been chosen, my descendant."Arthur could only stare in bewildermen

Arthur understood the gravity of the situation as he stood by Emily's grandfather's bedside. The frail old man lay motionless, his shallow breaths the only sign of life. Arthur couldn't help but feel a weight of responsibility pressing down on him. If he could save Mr. Lee's life, it would repay the debt of Emily saving his life.With a gentle hand, Arthur checked Mr. Lee's pulse. Emily was standing nearby, "Arthur, please, you have to help him," she implored."I'll do everything I can, Emily," Arthur replied with a reassuring smile. Arthur stood by Mr. Lee's bedside, his hands trembling with uncertainty. He wasn't sure if it was possible to use his powers to heal someone. His magical abilities was still a mystery to him. Arthur was clearly nervous, and with Nicole constant pleading he felt he was at a loss, with no actual medical skill.The frail old man lay before him, his breaths even more irregular. Emily who had a bit of hope earlier, lifted her chin and stared into Arthur's

As the evening drew to a close, Nicole turned to Arthur and offered, "Arthur, it's getting late, and I wouldn't want you to be out on the streets at this hour. Would you like a ride home?"Arthur hesitated for a moment, his mind racing. He didn't have a home of his own to return to, not after the threats he had received. Going back to his in-laws' place was out of the question, considering the danger he was in."I appreciate the offer, Nicole," Arthur replied, "but it's not necessary, I will take the bus."Nicole's brows furrowed with concern, and she didn't seem convinced by his response. "Are you sure, Arthur? It's late, and the street can be dangerous at this hour." Mr. Lee chimed in, his voice warm and persuasive, "Nicole is right, my boy. You've done so much for us, and I would feel much better knowing you're safe for the night. Please accept her offer."Arthur found himself in a tight spot. He didn't want to burden Nicole.He knew if they found out about his situation, they mig

A familiar car pulled up to the gate. Nicole stepped out. The grind on her face widened as she approached Arthur quickly, her heels clicking on the pavement."Arthur!" Nicole called out, "I've been instructed to take you to a hotel. Come with me."Arthur, and nodded as he followed Nicole to her car. He loaded his luggage into the trunk, and they drove away from the Lin estate.The drive to the hotel was mostly quiet. Despite Nicole tried to engage Arthur in a conversation, he was spacing out in between. Nicole occasionally glanced at Arthur, her worry evident in her eyes. She could tell that something was bothering him, but she didn't press him for details.They arrived at the hotel, and Nicole helped Arthur check in. She assured him that her grandfather, Mr. Lee, would be joining them soon to discuss the business matters he had mentioned earlier.Just as they were settling into the hotel room, Nicole's phone buzzed with an urgent message. She glanced at the screen and her face paled

The midday sun hung high in the sky, casting a radiant glow over the bustling schoolyard. Arthur was wearing a casual shirt and ripped jeans. He was sitting by a corner. His bag on his thighs. He was watching the students play basketball.His eyes were focused on the ball being thrown from one player to the other. Arthur's lips widened every time there was a win. He envied them greatly.Although he should have been one of them, but his marriage to Daphne has made students make a mockery of him in college. Arthur's eyes unconsciously became moist and started to blur, But then-The ball suddenly hits his face, and his eyes sparkle.He held the ball, and all he could see at that moment was the backboard.One of the players ran to Arthur, "Throw the ball, Arthur." But all Arthur thought at that moment was to make a basket. Just before they could reach him, Arthur jumped and threw the ball. Everyone's eyes followed the ball, and to their surprise-It was a goal!"Yes!" Arthur screa
