''So, tomorrow is your graduation and you're still working today? shouldn't you be chatting with your friends about your plans after graduation and stuff?" Min's co-worker asked her.
"Plans? There's no need, am just gonna prank some unlucky fools with some alcohol tonight, and for that I need cash, therefore hard work is needed"
'Besides that annoying lawyer won't spare me a glance If I tell him what I'm using the money to do' Min thought
"What a saint" another co-worker with dark circles rolls her eyes at min
"I might sound mean but what has to be done, has to, besides those morons probably ain't gonna get to the next stage without my help, trust me if you've experienced what i have by being third wheel in their romance, you'll do exactly what i've done"
The other co-worker giggles while the one with the dark circles rolls her eyes.
Min works as a Waitress in a bakery café and due to her natural charisma and beauty, she's very popular among the customers.
Sometimes she helps in the kitchen to earn some extra cash and since her Baking and Beverage making skills were superb, she was allowed;
She was once asked to work as a baker but she rejected stating that her desires for pulling pranks might cause something.... not so good, so in the spirit of kindness, she rejected.
Of course her employee was not happy, but Min was a good kid and she would never force her into doing anything she didn't want to do, so she reluctantly gave up but still pestered Min every now and then, making their relationship quite close.
"'Sup girl,
............
yeah I am pretty much ready for the graduation,
.....................
hmmm, a suit,
......................
yup, I'll be looking hot on that day,
...................
yeah tell them I'm paying~ for all of 'em,
..........................
okay see ya!'' She hangs up.
"Damn I really should rest, my body's all sore, but I need to deliver all this for Mrs. Jim (her employer), well~, since there's cash".
*Leaves*

"FML, I can't believe I overslept on my Graduation, ah!" hurriedly buttons up cuffs and grabs a cupcake before speeding off.
She arrives only to be cautioned by Claire severely.
Soon, the graduation commenced and the principal took a long time blabb… ahem! Giving a speech before awarding the various students for different achievements, min got a gift for most intelligent student of the year getting up to 99% of questions and Claire for most responsible student of the year. The students were all given gifts and congratulated.
"Claire and Dong, when are you two finally going to confess that you like each other and finally date? your game of love has been going on for ages!"
Min blatantly exposed her two friends without a single shame or guilt in the get together for her class after their graduation.
Some cheered for them (C & D), while the two victims were red that they could drip blood, glaring furiously at the culprit who "Innocently" stared at them like they were the bullies.
Dong was so pissed he nearly vomited blood, while smokes were literally flaring from Claire's ears. As if not enough min still smashed their remaining control into smithereens with her words:
"Hey come on, what? you guys won't thank me? I really suffered being a third wheel, hai! you should at least say thank you, right classmates?"
Min said, requesting backup from her classmates who readily gave it to her.
"Come on guys, apologize!"
"Poor min"
"It must have been hard on you"
"Yeah, go on and apologize"
'Sorry guys, but this is the power of free food' a classmate who slightly pitied Claire and dong thought.
"Thanks guys, I'm alright" Min 'grudgingly' awaited her friends' apology.
Dong who was KOed by min's shamelessness finally vomited blood while Claire's eyes practically shot flames at min.
Min: ...Maybe I was a bit too much, Ah
In the end everyone let them be and decided to play a game as proposed by min.
"uh~, I suppose am the king or queen, No. 3 sit on No. 5 lap till the next order" Min ordered
A boy with a dark expression went to sit on another boy's lap who looked like he wanted to shove the one sitting on his lap into the depths of hell.
The game became practically a way for Min to practically boss everyone around, no one knew how she did it but she got the king nearly every time.
Many got drunk because they refused to do many embarrassing stuff min told them to do,
Claire got so drunk that she couldn't figure out left from right again, just to avoid fulfilling min's perverted command of kissing dong and dong wasn't any better since not only did he drink his own drink, he took Claire's too.
But in the end they had to kiss since Claire couldn't survive another drink and they couldn't quit or more alcohol as penalty (it was practically a trap they foolishly fell for),
Therefore min saw her most awaited kiss~ even though it was just a peck on lips, yeah, quite sad.
Dong was angry, not only did he kiss Claire without her permission he did it when she was drunk, he felt like scum.
He gave min a hard glare, in which min returned with a cute smile, making him vomit blood again which had others wondering if he'll pass out from blood loss.
T/N: Claire is a lightweight and can't handle alcohol much
Since min got what she got the game progressed normally with many trying to get back at min, but not only that the name rarely got min,
When it did she always forfeited and she could surprisingly hold her alcohol well, not only that but she always made sure to play with the alcohol while giving them a provoking smile,
Deliberately annoying them, but even with all their annoyance they couldn't do anything they could only watch on and be provoked.
They could only glare at this demon of mischief and some started wondering if they were invited just to be played with.
Min: Great intuition
In the end the 'getting together' was more of a game for min to play around with all of them, after knowing how terrible min was, they started pitying her friends.
Later ~
Min carried the two unconscious and unlucky idiots each on her left and right shoulder and called a taxi dropping them at each of their houses. She personally carried Claire to her room since her grandma wasn't around.
As Claire's key was in her cloth's pocket, Min was able to unlock the door to her house.
She brought dong home and his worried parents took him inside after thanking min, which made min a bit guilty since it was kinda her that KOed him to the state he was in.
As an apology gift to her friends, min gave them (not literally since they passed out) a drink to help cure their hangover.
She bought some dumplings and a drink and returned home.
Walking into her house her facade completely cracked,
She looked at a picture with a beautiful lady with blue round eyes and dark brown hair hugging a 3 year old kid, the kid had round eyes just like the lady, only that hers' were bigger than the lady's,
The kid had big cheeks and was laughing in the picture while being tickled by the lady.
A sad smile adorned min's face as she sat on her bed admiring the picture,
"Mom, you always wanted me to finish middle school without getting kicked out of school, I promised you that but since I was SO naughty when I was small, you told me I'll probably have a bad record if I managed not to get kicked out. Well mum…" smirks
"I finished middle school with my mischievous character, with a perfect record and a gift!, aren't I cool?" giggles childishly
"Mom ,you should sing a song for me to congratulate me, I miss your voice so much even though I listen to them in the records everyday.
I proved you wrong by graduating middle school without being kicked out of school or getting a bad record, so shouldn't you give me a pat in the head and compliment my awesomeness?"
Hugging her knees to her chest with a pout she continued-
"Everyone else has someone with them right now, even Claire's parents will probably call her and congratulate her later and that makes me so jealous, I envy them mom, I miss you so much mom, so very much..."
"They say you never appreciate the value of something until you lose it, I love you so DANG much mum and now I've come to realize that more than ever before..."
Min touched the lady in the picture that was smiling in happiness, the moon shone from the window into her dark room directly illuminating min's pale beautiful face.
She had her lights off, she was ready for sleep but seeing this picture directly being shone on by the light from the window reminded her again that she had no one at home to care about her, even the gift she had gotten was just hers to appreciate and that ruined her sleeping mood.
Sighing she turned the picture backwards on the edge of her bed, closed the window, covered herself up with a quilt and forced herself to sleep with a heavy heart, she would hide that picture somewhere to not see it again.
Sometimes, certain things were better off forgotten, BUT, she would never forgive herself if she forgot someone who loved her THAT dearly.
EVER.
"Min, how was your graduation?" min's employer asked "Well, it was fun, we got gifts, ate snacks, played games, drank alcohol..." "Isn't that illegal? Aren't you guys like minors?" "Ehehehe , well we hid at a classmate's house and drank to our full" Her employee just shook her head and mumbled something about kids of this day being stubborn, et cetera. After her day's job min got severely scolded by her two annoyed friends and ignored for a whole week before they later calmed down. Dong and Claire were to attend the same high school while min told them to look for a suitable scholarship scheme for her (since their parents were influential and she was too lazy to look for one herself). Dong due to the connections his father had got one for min, It was perfect, free food, good dormitory, fancy uniforms, free food….. (o﹃ o) "Min you've said free food two times and stop drooling at the images" Claire rebuked "Sorry, the food looked so good, and also free, amazing~, I'll take th
Mrs. Kyu Yoong stared down at the little kid standing in front of her, looking with glittering eyes showing unbridled excitement and unexpectedly remembered her. That girl was brazen, she was bold and fierce, That girl gazed at her with eyes so fierce, with those phoenix-like eyes that her want to challenge her was ignited, because her whole being had one question, would her eyes still hold the same fire when beaten? That girl wasn't just an expert when using her flames, she was one with her flames, the heat from her flames scorched the lands and devoured all who came her way. Even her enemies couldn't deny her flames were out-worldly, so erringly beautiful you couldn't take off your eyes even if they dried right up. That girl who would let her flames burn her soul as far as she could keep and control it, the same girl died at the hands of her own flames to save the ones she loved. 'Now within myself I contemplate, That girl whose eyes was phoenix-like, fierce like flames and s
Min was woken up by a bird, a cute little bluebird perched on her head, being a very sensitive person, she stirred at the bed and glanced at the little thing, smiled at it a bit and slept back in, Until the supposed 'cute' thing screamed with a human deep but loud bass voice into her ear, you heard right-- A HUMAN. BASS. VOICE. Min was shocked shitless and she rolled out of bed in a fit of surprise and slammed face down but the bird ignored her and flew away after getting its job done. 'Fuck me, what a heartless bird, not even a sorry' After getting up and grumbling, she threw on a shirt and trousers, took a chocolate bar from the many Dong bought for her in bulk and left her room only to be stopped by that grumpy aunty..., what was the name?, hm, seems I've forgotten. "Go wear something formal from your wardrobe, throw away that bar and come eat" Mrs. kyu said Min stared at her for quite some time before answering "Yes ma" "Address me as Mrs. Kyu, okay?" "Okay, Mrs. kyu" Min
The magic plane, a different dimension where magic exists, a whole new dimension where earth does not exist but only magical planets with all sorts of dangers. Now the history about how such a place came to be: In the beginning, earth was among the many creations that appeared out of thin air. Beastmen, Fays, Demons, Angels and Human were the five races who lived together, although angels were taken by the gods as servants while only a few demons were taken but none of the other races was taken. All these races lived in peace and harmony but this was only fake as the races had war every now and then. Humans as the weakest always suffered from this war and soon enough humans were made mere slaves by other races and suffered greatly. A slave managed to escape slavery and devoted his life serving the Sun god claiming he was saved by the god. Even though the god was rumored to be the cruelest god, he persisted in serving this god until he died and his soul was taken away by the same
After the month, the outsiders' powers were to be awakened by their various guardians. In the school, all students are required to have a guardian, either from home (nobles), or assigned (some other nobles and the outsiders). Both noble and Outsider could only have one guardian except on very special cases. Each guardian were to awaken the outsiders powers, the nobles were already awakened unless they were to be awakened late due to certain reasons; That noble was to be secretly awakened by both his/her guardian and the principal. People were awakened in secret to avoid bullying or ridicule if that person had a weak power, until it couldn't be hidden anymore. To avoid bullying of both nobles and outsiders, especially the latter, all first and second year students were forbidden to use powers in school premises, only during practice which happened in the ILMC though. Only in third year were students allowed to use their powers under special rules. Min was excited and curious wha
Min was still trying to find out the right words to use in this situation, but she wasn't exactly much of a talkative to begin with, So, in the end, all she could do was silently stare silently with a wide and gaping mouth like a fish. It seemed that a time pause button was clicked and all of them paused with min staring at them and them staring back at min, Until happi couldn't take it anymore and practically tackled Min in a hug which caught her by surprise, but another thing she noticed that baffled her was... 'No one that has ever hugged me since mum's death has made me feel… refreshing, but this girl…, her hug, it's almost like it's very comforting, so warm and assuring and she smells like flowers too' Min actively burrowed into the hug like a cute little baby, sleeping in her mother's arm, so very cute~ And Happi was a sucker for cute things, so in her excitement, she literally picked min up like a baby she saw in her and went all 'Yeah~', while flying around. The complete
Mrs. Kyu and Mr. Yoshikazu stared at the place Min was supposed to be standing and had similar solemn expressions. It was nearly impossible for this kind of thing to happen, it only happened with the aisurus, who may have gotten summoned by their guardian gods and their spirit was the only thing leaving but their body remaining, this particular phenomenon that happened now had only happened two times, to the queen and to her fifth son who was an active prince in the battle for the crown. Min had disappeared completely, nobody, nada, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. No doubt she was in the orb, somehow, although Yoshikazu doubted since the orb looked normal, no glow, nothing, NOTHING AT ALL. Any time Mrs. Kyu tried to jog her memory to remember what exactly happened when the light flashed, something seemed to obstruct her memories. Atama-I: You poor mortal souls "Sister, let's call someone who knows these things more than us, pretty please, with a cherry cuteness on top?" Mr. Yoshikazu pleaded
“H-ha, ha, ha, ha…” Min was huffing and puffing from her recently finished exercise 'System open' *Ding! Daily quests completed--- Run for 3 hours without rest --- Completed Do 300 push-ups---- Completed Do 300 pull-ups----- Completed Do other minor exercises for 4 hours---- Completed Eat an 'Spiritual energy revitalizing peach' ---- In session Min who was munching on a fruit stared at her screen for a while but after raising up her clothes to see the miracle of abs that even Mrs. Kyu's training couldn't bring out, she sighed 'For the abs I guess' Three Weeks ago~ 'Wow! It's actually a system! Coolyo~ ' Min stared in amazement when the system asked her if she wanted to listen to the voice message left by sukiru or check out the system She decided to hear what Sukiru had for her--- "Hello" Sukiru's tenor-like voice was heard with a trace of boredom in it "This is sukiru and I'll explain the basis of this system to you. It will take care
