"I really want it"


    Staring at the apple stand, a dangerous thought crossed my mind


    "Should I do it?"


    If I go and steal it right now, the seller is definitely going to beat me up.


    But I haven''t eaten for days, there are no choices left.


    "If only there is someone running straight to the stall and messing things up, then I may have a chance to sneak in and take some apples for myself …"


    Boom!


    At that moment, a man crashed into the stall, a patrolmen were chasing him. The crash caused apples to drop onto the ground.


    "This is my chance!"


    I quickly run to grab those apples. My hands are too small so I can only grab two apples into my pocket before fleeing.You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.


    " Stop right there you little bastard! "


    Ignoring the seller''s scolding, I ran like my life was on the line and quickly turned into a random alley. While running, I accidentally tripped over a stone and fell into a puddle.


    In the puddle, a reflection of a wet pale, weak child appeared. He has a raven-black hair that reaches past his piercing, golden-brown eyes. His features are soft and delicate, emphasizing that he is still just a child.


    "Why is there a black line running around my neck?"


    At that time, A sinister black line coils tightly around my throat. I reach out to touch that mysterious line, It doesn''t feel like an accessory but more like a tattoo.


    "WHERE ARE YOU STUPID RAT, I MUST TEACH YOU A QUESTION TODAY!"


    "Tsk, forget it, the line can wait. I must go somewhere to hide"


    I continue to run into the alley to cut off the furious apple seller. After a while, it looks like the seller has given up on me. I find a comfortable, flat area to sit on.


    Pulling the apples from my pocket, I took a big, juicy bite. The simple pleasure of biting into the apple is a moment of pure bliss after days of hunger.


    "That''s so lucky for me that a random man messes up the stall"


    "Are you sure about that?"


    "Huh?"


    Behind me, a mature female voice cut in. Turning my head back, I see a gorgeous woman standing there confidently.


    "Is it truly luck?"- The captivating voice spoke again
