"Hahaha! Come, young man, we were just waiting for you and your family to arrive here. Please do introduce us to them," the old man said with a twinkle in his eyes as he laughed heartily upon seeing the handsome and familiar young man entering his villa hall with two unfamiliar people.
"Ah, hi, Grandpa Dai! What are you doing here? Are you one of the organizers? I thought Christine Onee-san invited us here. Well, I'm not complaining or anything, hahaha!" the young man greeted the old man and asked his doubt, showing an imaginary question mark above his head upon seeing the old man there, not knowing that he was the host of the party.
"Haish! The young people nowadays. Well, she is my niece, and yes, I am the host today. This is a celebration party for my niece's promotion, and yesterday when young Erick's family of three came to our little 'Serene Community,' I thought of inviting everyone to the party in this little community, so I decided to have my niece inform your family about it. Anyways, first, you should let your parents and us introduce one another, then you can go enjoy yourself with the young people and leave us old ones to our devices." When Erick asked about his niece, making the old man's expression darken a little and his eyebrow twitched, so Erick tried to defuse the tension by laughing it out, but the old man just let out a sigh of defeat and started to tell Erick about himself and how the lady Erick asked about was related to him.
Then, they reached the sitting areas where all the elderly people were sitting in chairs with tables full of different dishes and drinks, enjoying themselves.
"Hello, elders! You all are pretty much having fun, so I won't take much of your time. Let me introduce you to my parents. Here is my lovely mother, Asa Dahl, and my father, Jaden Dahl. These are the elders that I met in the park, which I told you about this morning. They are good-hearted and kind people, so you don't have to worry about anything. Also, don't be tense. I can see your nervous expression. It's your first time coming to this kind of party, so it's understandable. But you both should loosen up a little." Erick then came forward and greeted them, which they returned with a nod towards Erick and his parents with a kind smile. Seeing the elders having fun talking and mingling, he introduced them to a group of elders and also encouraged his parents to do the same, seeing their stiff movements and nervous expressions.
"Yeah!" they all replied in unison.
"Mr. and Miss Dahl, you don't have to be so nervous. We will be neighbors from now on, living in the same community, so we will often meet each other. If you are stiff like that, you will have body aches, and believe me, you don't want that, hahahahah!" replied one of the old men with white mustaches, a little black shining on them, and gray-white hairs. He was wearing an old-fashioned suit and a branded brown cane, looking like a passionate and dignified old man.
And with a good sense of humor, he made Erick's parents relax and laugh, which lightened the mood.
"Oh! All of you are elders and seniors to us, so you can just call us by our first names as it feels kind of awkward. Thank you very much for inviting us to your party. This is our first time attending this kind of party, so we are feeling a little out of place. Please don't mind us and enjoy yourselves," Erick's father said with a little respect towards the elderly people after calming himself down.
The old men smiled kindly, shook their hands, introduced themselves to others, and then got busy in their conversations or gossip.

I left my parents to mingle with the other guests and set out to find my "milf onee-san," whom I had caught a glimpse of while introducing my parents to a group of older men. She had a captivating charm, and was wearing a designer blue one-piece dress with dark blue fishnet stockings and red high heels.
A few minutes later, I found her with some female friends and some guys who were trying to hit on them, especially my "milf onee-san." I felt a slight irritation at their cheesy attempts.
"Hello, beautiful! Can my friends and I keep you company and get to know each other better?" said one of the guys.
"Yeah, come join us and young master Turd. It's your lucky day that he's interested in you," said one of his underlings. But the lovely ladies ignored them and had frowning, irritated expressions.
Watching this scene and hearing their lame lines, I became annoyed. I walked over to them with heavy steps and a bit of an intimidating aura, and stood beside them. I put my left hand on the shoulder of what I assumed was the leader of their group of five guys.
"Hey man, can't you see they don't want your company here? Why don't you guys take the hint and leave?" I said, irritation clearly showing on my face. I also increased my grip strength on his shoulder, causing him to feel some pain. It even made a cracking sound, as if his shoulder bone might break if I applied just a bit more pressure.
"Please, release me! Owch owch! It hurts, man. Okay, okay, I understand. Can you release me now? Alright, guys, let's get out of here." He cried out in pain as my aura had gotten the best of his shoulder, turning his angry expression into a cracked, ugly one with crocodile tears in his eyes. I gave him a glare mixed with a little bit of my aura to let him know not to mess around, and after a few seconds, I let him go. I had started to attract attention from the surrounding area.
As he and his goons walked away, I clapped my hands to clear the nonexistent dirt from them and turned towards the ladies.
"Hello, ladies! If you don't mind, may I join you for a little chat?" I came face-to-face with the other ladies who were standing with my milf neighbor. "Oh, hello, Ms. Christine! I didn't see you before, and you look lovely in that dress. You two ladies also look beautiful in the dresses you're wearing." I gave them a flashing smile and complimented their beauty while also asking for their permission to accompany them. They blushed a little and gave me playful smiles.
I felt a glare from my milf onee-san, so I turned to her side, acting surprised to see her there. I complimented her beauty and the stunning one-piece dress she was wearing, which gave me a refined feeling of royalty for a moment.
After I complimented her, she pouted and looked wronged. I couldn't help but wonder where this alluring creature had come from with her mature milf charm. When I looked around, I noticed that not only her, but all three ladies were receiving plenty of lecherous glances. If it weren't for her Uncle Dai's influence, which they feared offending, they might flock to her with their vulgarities and foot-licking praises for her beauty.
"Hahahaha!...Sorry, sorry! It was my mistake, okay. Anyways, when are you going to tell me how you're related to Grandpa Dai?" I laughed it off, seeing her pout and alluring expression, which had distracted me a bit, so I changed the subject.
"Umm! Well, we didn't have much time to talk about it last time. So, I wasn't able to tell you, but how are you acquainted with my uncle, as you just arrived here yesterday?" After she asked about how I knew her uncle, I explained that I had met them on the same day I met her. Then I introduced myself to her friends and got to know them.
The pretty lady with brown hair and brown eyes, wearing a brown one-piece with a flowery design and black knee socks with black high heels, was named Hana Eto. She was the granddaughter of a normal-looking old man named Hiraku Eto, whom I had met yesterday.
The other lady had black shiny hair with tips a little greyed out and emerald-like eyes that would make anyone who looked at them blind. She was wearing an orange party gown with a white sakura pattern that made her look breathtaking. She wore short slick brownish-yellow shocks with sakura-like high heels. Just by standing beside her, I could smell the sakura from her, which told me it was her favorite scent. Her name was Aisa Hironaka, and she was the granddaughter of a mustachioed old man from the group of old men named Masashi Hironaka.
After we got to know each other a bit, the three ladies seemed much more relaxed. It was easier to converse with them as they were open to society and modern ideas, not so stuck up on old rules. So it's a bit easier to converse with them.

Please always wear the bracelet I gave you. It might protect you from harm, so listen to me, alright?" I bid goodbye to the girls and then approached Christine onee-san, whispering in her ear, I said. "I believe you. This is a beautiful bracelet that I like very much. I won't be parting with it, so don't worry about that." Christine replied with a sweet smile, her eyes twinkling as she looked at the bracelet on her wrist. The emerald shone brightly against the golden chains, making it look even more enchanting. "Alright then, see you next time," I gave them a dazzling smile, which made the girls blush and smile in return. After that, I left and went to pick up my parents. They were having too much fun, eating and drinking with the older folks. Seeing their flushed faces, I

The Earth had reached its fill and was now releasing it into the atmosphere, invigorating anyone who dared to take a deep breath. Despite the beauty of the world around them, the planet's inhabitants remained indifferent, too caught up in their daily affairs to appreciate the lovely atmosphere that their home provided. They continued to harm the planet, taking everything it offered without a second thought. But there was one person who might be able to understand the world's plea. Slowly but surely, the world was developing it's consciousness, as the world had taken whiff of the energy he emitted. Unintentionally, he nourished the world every day, giving it life and vitality.

My master instructed me to first complete the basic structure and stabilize the foundation before building any facilities. I should observe the island first and then start working on it," Aashi commented as she took in the beautiful surroundings of Blurry Island. Although small, the natural energy on the island was abundant, and it had started to develop into a spiritual land. Aashi took a two-hour stroll around the island, taking in every nook and cranny before coming up with the ideal plan to develop the island as per her master's wishes. The island had a few small hills, a small forest, a pond, and a breathtaking waterfall that fell from the tallest hill, directly into the pond. The scenery was like a painting that had come to life after the gentle touch of natural energy. The island was fil

Aashi pleaded with her puppy eyes. This new tactic had proven to be quite effective in getting what she wanted from her master, Erick. "Alright, let me get ready," Erick relented, still reeling from the cuteness overload. It had been a month since Aashi had begun her island project. She had purchased a damaged building at a bargain price, and with the help of the LB models, quickly renovated it to her master's liking. Erick had also created an illusion to disguise the construction, making it appear like a normal site. Once everything was in order, Erick marked out the area and set up a formation for creating common pills. Aashi then began advertising for workers to help run the company. Aashi was now able to control her body and powers halfway, making it unnecessary for her to have constant pro

As fishermen made their way to the seaside, they often remarked upon the island's perpetually blurred appearance, a mysterious phenomenon that lent an air of intrigue to its existence. Within the ethereal confines of Blurr Island, an abundance of energy flowed, imbuing the land with an almost sacred aura. What was once a small patch of land spanning a mere few kilometers had expanded exponentially, transformed by the newfound infusion of natural power. The island was meticulously maintained, showcasing a harmonious blend of features. On one side, a modest forest stood, adorned with gentle slopes and hills, now accompanied by a scattering of buildings nestled at the foot of the verdan

Renowned throughout the city, the hotel boasted a lavish and extravagant reception, captivating guests from the moment they stepped inside. The rise to fame of the Ais Hotel was owed to a single woman, whose exceptional talent and unwavering determination propelled the establishment from obscurity to the pinnacle of luxury in a mere three years. Aisa Hironaka, with her magnetic charm and resolute temperament, had carved her own path in the realm of hotel management. Alongside her two close companions, she was affectionately referred to as one of the "three untouchable flowers."

John whispered to his friend Mark, skepticism etched on his face. Mark nodded in agreement. "I don't believe it either. But curiosity got the better of me, and I had to see it with my own eyes." The murmurs in the common sitting area grew louder as more people gathered. Some were driven by curiosity like Mark, while others were afraid of missing out on a golden opportunity. If the product truly worked as claimed, those who hesitated would regret it immensely. These individuals had spent enough time in the business circle to develop a special sense, an instinct that allowed them to discern between genuine opportunities and mere illusions.

Now you won't complain about being unable to get out of bed and have some fun with us old geezers," Mr. Toya's friend taunted, his laughter echoing through the air. This particular old friend of his had always pestered him, mocking his inability to join them in playing mahjong on occasion. "Hahahha! Old Han, consider yourself invited today. Once this banquet is over, we shall celebrate in our own way!" Old man Toya responded heartily to Old man Han, who was seated in the VIP area beside them with his family. "I'll hold you to that, hahaha!" Old man Han accepted the invitation with enthusiasm. "Hahahaha!

Another influential figure sarcastically commented from across the room, his seating area adjacent to Old man Han's. "Haa... Humph! I h
