Rise of the White Dragon

- March 22, 2010 - Monday -

After the incident that happened in India with 3 thousand victims, the governments around the world had started working on a mysterious crack alert system to detect if any mysterious cracks appeared.

In the beginning, they started with a simple application, where if a camera caught the image of a mysterious crack, notifications would be spread on cell phones, TV, and radio. But only a few sources were reliable. There were some who said they saw a mysterious crack, just to cause confusion.

In Luan's office, there were six important people, all of whom were army generals.

"Mr. Luan, you must already know the risks that our world is facing. Now more than ever we need this game." A crease began to form at the edges of Edson Leopoldo Aguiar's eyes.

Edson's intelligent eyes reflected his years of experience. He looked directly at Luan when he finished his words. "We already have people on our side who were 4 times stronger than they were before. We can start marketing and putting the game online."

"Excuse me." Ingrid came in and poured a cup of tea for each old man and also for Luan.

"Thank you, lovely young lady," Cassandra França Gomes said with a gentle smile. She still remembered Ingrid and had a good impression of her. Cassandra heard what happened when Ingrid and Luan arrived and how Ingrid dealt with one of the security guards that day. She admired strong women, and because of that, she was in favor of talking to Ingrid.

Luan intertwined his fingers and looked between his guests seriously. "Yes, the changes that are happening in the world are happening too fast. If more of these mysterious cracks open, it will be good that we are prepared."

"I like the way you think, Luan." Rogerio Levy Cardoso smiled. "Yes, it is important that people are at least strong enough to defend themselves or at least flee in the face of danger. We don't want the same thing that happened in India to be repeated in our country."

"Okay, I can get the game up and running. You can download the game, the accounts can be created, and you can log into the game systems," Luan, who had everything prepared beforehand, said matter-of-factly.

Maira and Catharina took Cristina to Colegio Vila Olimpia. After parking the car in the garage, they started walking.

The school structure was very large, with an indoor soccer field. There were also other very large areas, as well as the two-story building where classes were taught.

"Are you feeling nervous?" Maira asked Cristina gently, who was trembling a little.

"A little bit." Cristina admitted. She saw some children coming and going, it was close to 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and afternoon classes were about to start.

"You don't have to be nervous; everything will be fine," Catharina assured her with a smile.

"I know, but it's just that I'm not good at interacting with people, especially people my age," Cristina said.

In a short time, they entered the office room and while Maira finished talking to the director, Cristina was taken to the first year classroom.

Cristina was still feeling anxious and a little nervous. Little did she know what a fuss she was going to cause the moment she appeared...

The teacher who brought Cristina told her to come in and said, "Hello class. Today we will have a new colleague in our class; her name is Cristina Dimas. Everyone should treat her very well and show a warm welcome."

For an instant the whole room was silent. Before, there were even conversations here and there, but the moment Cristina entered, it was as if a goddess in the body of a teenager had descended to earth. Of all the teenagers they have ever seen in person or on media, Cristina was the most beautiful.

The little more than 9 male students were amazed and then had a scandalous reaction, while the girls didn't even have a chance to compete, but they also admired Cristina for being so beautiful. Of course, some of the girls who were thought to be very beautiful had an ugly expression on, seeing how truly beautiful Cristina was.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"My eyes! A Goddess came to our room!"

"Wow! She is so beautiful!"

"We were blessed with the presence of a Goddess!"

"Wait, is she a Dimas?"

"I remember! She appeared at the press conference when Luan Dimas, that Greek god became CEO!" a girl said, getting up. She was in love with Luan from the moment she had seen him on television.

"Wow! Is she Luan Dimas's sister? How lucky for her..."

"I melt all over just thinking about him. My God, how can someone be so beautiful and look so bad at the same time?"

"Yes, those red eyes… When I look at his eyes, it makes my soul tremble. It turns me on~"

The teenage girls, when they learned that Cristina was Luan's sister, freaked out. Now it was the girls' turn to make a fuss. But that didn't go on for long; the teacher couldn't let them continue to make such a fuss.

"Enough! If you continue to speak and shout loudly I will do a surprise test here and now!" The moment the teacher said that, even though they wanted to continue talking and asking Cristina questions, they were silent.

"Cristina, sorry for the confusion. They are a little too happy, but they are good children. You can sit where the table is empty, next to Ariana Meireles," said the teacher softly. Her name was Mirela. She was brunette and was 176 cm tall, approximately 40 years old.

"Okay." Cristina, who did not expect that she would cause so much confusion, trembled a little, but managing to control herself, she was also a little red due to having been called a goddess...

Alice Garcia, the girl who claims to be Luan's biggest fan, and also Cristina's tablemate, smiled with fanaticism when she said, "Hello, I'm Aline Garcia. It's an honor to meet you. Please, can we be friends?"

Cristina remembered that this girl was one of the girls who had been going giddy over Luan, but she knew that her Big Brother was incredible, so it was natural that there were fans even among the teenagers. She smiled shyly and said, "Yes, let's be friends."

The two shook hands and smiled.

"Mr. Luan, it's great to talk to you. I hope everything works out and that we have a lasting agreement."

"Equally." Luan shook hands with each of the guests he had invited.

After saying goodbye to the six generals, Luan was busy for the rest of the afternoon. He had already put the game online and had also released the game download. Despite only having 100 downloads so far, the number was gradually rising.

After all, the propaganda made by the army had not yet been developed. But now he had already talked to the six generals and the commercial for the game was already underway.

Later, before Luan left Dimas Corporation Headquarters, he received another visitor.

In front of him, sitting on a chair in his office, was a beautiful woman in her 30s, with light brown hair and green eyes. Her name was Arlinda Silva.

Arlinda Silva took a sip of the coffee that Ingrid served and stared at Luan. Seeing that he didn't tell Ingrid to leave, and knowing that she was his girlfriend, Arlinda Silva didn't care and said, "Mr. Luan Dimas, I know that Vincent Cont was trying to blow up your plane."
