Reborn in another world [Drapetomania]
Alberu shot Zhi Ruo a spur of a look seeing the food that was laid out in front of her. Everytime he tries to reach out for a bite, Ravel was there to swat his hands away with a smile— Alberu internally grumbles that although Ravel's smile was consider angelic, when it was directed to him like that, he can't help but be annoyed. And it was becoming apparent that Zhi Ruo was enjoying his struggle of stealing some food, and without him outwardly just asking her for some."Bastard," Alberu sorely muttered, his eyes darting on the food with jealousy that Zhi Ruo was visible rubbing his face with. However even after his words reached Zhi Ruo's ears, the girl only heard a bitter man that could not procure his own delicious food."Deal with it," Zhi Ruo chucked a bone an Alberu's direction, watching the object fly and was dodge with the masked man with ease. The girl however, caught a lag in the masked man's actions that made her ponder silently."What?" Alberu snapped at Zhi Ruo's directio

"What is up with the delay?" His voice, laced with annoyance, pierced the quiet of the room, echoing off the walls like a dissonant melody. As he strode purposefully inside, the familiar face of the seasoned practitioner of the flights emerged from the shadows, drawing the attention of all present. A collective gaze turned towards him, a silent acknowledgment of his arrival, yet the air remained thick with unspoken tension, pregnant with anticipation for what would unfold next. In that suspended moment, every breath held its own story, every heartbeat a whispered tale, weaving together a narrative of expectation and uncertainty that hung palpably in the stillness of the room."Contestant Yu Zhúlín relinquished the fight against contestants Ye Zhi Ruo," announced one of the practitioners in the room, his hands flipping over a stack of official tournament papers adorned with the authoritative seal. "The decision has received approval from the overseers. Contestant Ye Zhi Ruo is now sla
Reborn in another world [Masked encounter]
Zhi Ruo entered the arena, her steps imbued with a delicate grace that seemed incongruous for someone about to engage in combat. The softness in her footfalls contrasted sharply with the anticipation that hung in the air, as if she carried a secret that defied the expectations of those watching. A gentle, almost malleable smile graced Zhi Ruo's face, its softness belying the intensity of the situation. However, her eyes held an unsettling quality, devoid of any discernible light. Staring into them felt as though one was peering into the pit of the abyss, an abyss that held secrets and depths that remained concealed from prying eyes.In stark contrast to Zhi Ruo's serene presence, the masked man bounded into the arena, seemingly intoxicated by the pulsating energy of the crowd. With arms outstretched, he embraced the cheers that reverberated around him, reveling in the cacophony of sound. His gaze danced from one corner of the venue to another, absorbing the kaleidoscope of colorful l

"Introducing the woman in the mask, Ye Zhi Ruo! And opposite of her, the man in the mask Alberu Luminof!" The announcer's words set the crowd ablaze with excitement, Zhi Ruo could not help but et her lips quirk when she heard her name being chanted. A lot of banners was hung around her, offering her words of encouragement.It looked like one of those football games that you would go to. However, this was more spectacular and there were certainly more people in attendance compared to football games that Zhi Ruo went to at the past. But the excitement was delightful it seems, only to Alberu though.Zhi Ruo spared Alberu a tired glance before her attention was drawn back up again. But this time, it seems like the fight was officially starting.The announcer finally left the arena after a few words that Zhi Ruo tuned off. It wasn't until she saw the practioner step into her view did she realize that it was starting.Alberu looked around as the barrier went up to cover the arena. His eyes
Reborn in another world [Confrontation]
There was pause, before Zhi Ruo frantically moved around to dodge the now Alberu who was covered in armor. From her veiw point, Zhi Rou thinks that even if she lets the wraith devourers out now, it would only cause damage to the surroundings rather than her opponent. It was conflicting thing for her, because if the wraith devourers melts the floor with her in it, it may not be able to hurt her, but it sure would make her actions slow down. And right now, she can't afford to slow down, not when her opponent is as fast as her senior brother in terms of speed. Alberu on the other hand, felt his injuries heal in a rapid rate the moment he let the light armor take over his whole body. He flexed his hands, and he could feel his whole body getting lighter. This time, Alberu was hellbent on taking Zhi Ruo on, he didn't even notice the conflict on Zhi Ruo's face as he did so. The girl got caught up soon enough, and she knew that she never stood a chance in running around in the first place.

And though it was only lifted for a second, it costed Zhi Ruo a injury. Because Alberu's fist hit Zhi Ruo directly into the stomach before she plummeted away opposite of her opponent's direction. Though it did help that her superior strength helped her lessen the damage that was done on her stomach.A injury was still an injury. Zhi Ruo had a feeling that Alberu was trying to capture her into place with that punch, but instincts made it so that she plummeted away from her opponent directly. And her instincts were correct, because by the second, the place where Alberu's fist connected suddenly burned.In haste Zhi Ruo tried to look down on the place where Alberu touched, only to find a mark etched directly on her pale skin. The clothes around the area was burned off directly. Zhi Ruo found out with wide eyes that she could not move even if she wanted to. Her eyes were the only thing that could move. Zhōngguó on her hand vibrated restlessly, and Zhi Ruo could feel the wraith devourers
Reborn in another world [Charge]
Zhi Ruo always had the tendency to overwhelm her opponents, Alberu never thought that he would be the one that receiving this type of overwhelming attention from Zhi Ruo. However, even though it consisted half of Zhi Ruo's main tactics and attacks, and it may have given Alberu a hard time, but Alberu was keeping up.Zhi Ruo could only blame it in the fact that Alberu was without a doubt, had more than a few realms higher than her. Even if Zhi Ruo made it look easy keeping up with this type of attacks with Alberu (it really wasn't) Zhi Ruo knew that she would win in a prolonged battle. But that was under the premise that 'this' type of situation would keep on going. The situation being— Alberu keeping up this pace and just dodging and not pulling out any tricks up his sleeves. But Zhi Ruo knew that this would not keep up, Alberu was bound to change something.And she knew that she has to beat Alberu before he does it— and Zhi Ruo doesn't know how she would do it. Alberu's eyes was so
Reborn in another world [Endurance]
The girl didn't get to breathe not even for a moment, because the second the shackles of light went for the wraith devourers. Some were also instantly reaching out towards Zhi Ruo who was a distance away from Alberu. Zhōngguó on Zhi Ruo's hands vibrated restlessly upon sensing the numerous chains heading towards them.There was a sigh that left Zhi Ruo as she popped another pill unto her mouth, she faced the incoming chains with an impatient gaze. There was fractures in her skin from Qi overload, but that didn't seem to bother her, because as quickly as Qi entered her system, she was also expelling them at higher rate.Clang clang clang.Continuous clinging of metal echoed throughout the arena as Zhi Ruo smacked every chain that was heading straight at her way with Zhōngguó on her hand. Seeing this scene rendered not only Alberu speechless, but also the audience that were watching ; specifically those that had prior knowledge or experiences with the light element (via rumors, researc

A day later, and with sufficient rest. The lady took her time to look over her servants to find out what was missing or needed in her pavilion. Ravel mentioned in passing that the food in the pavilion was a bit lacking, the young lady noted this in the back of her head before she handed all her responsibilities to Ravel to handle. The butler, who was already used to this, didn't complain with Zhi Ruo's way of handling things and just calmly proceeded to make schedules. Through all that, Ravel had the time to dress Zhi Ruo up with the help of the other maid servants. Although the servants weren't used to the cosmetics products and skin care products that Zhi Ruo had around. They were quick to learn how to efficiently apply these products to Zhi Ruo's body. Ravel didn't let the maid servants stick around to help Zhi Ruo prep her face. The young lady prepped her own face by herself. In the afternoon, Zhi Ruo went out of her pavilion, and went straight to her grandfather's office where

When Zhi Ruo ascended to her pavilion, she was welcomed by her immaculately attired maids, who combined made for a lovely sight. The girl nodded with satisfaction, her thoughts already praising Ravel's managerial skills. She could tell that Ravel had been careful in his training of the staff. because she failed to see a single hair out of place.His training of the household staff was evident in every corner; not a speck of dust dared to linger, and not a single servant’s uniform bore the faintest wrinkle. After they landed, at the forefront of the welcoming assembly stood her venerable grandfather, Ye Gu Shi, a figure of unshakable dignity, clad in robes that seemed to flow like rivers of ink and silver. Flanking him were her senior brothers, their postures firm as ancient pines, and her sole senior sister, Ye Qing Qing, whose serene presence commanded both grace and authority.He congratulated the people that managed to get far in the tournament. The ordeal was done in a solemn man

[Thirty minutes later— landing time...] In the vast expanse stretching near the Sighted Valley, the aircraft descended smoothly, landing without much of a hitch. As the doors opened, Zhi Ruo stepped out with an air of quiet confidence, her movements purposeful and composed. Behind her, Ravel followed closely, his demeanor attentive as ever.The other contestants had already gathered in the designated drop-off area, their murmurs filling the space as they watched the new arrivals. Zhi Ruo took a steady step, her gaze sweeping over the (still) ufamiliar faces. The last time she had been here, she had been left unnoticed, easily dismissed, and barely given a second glance by the crowd. But today was different. This time, all eyes were on her, a subtle shift in their expressions was apparent.This was not the same indifferent reception she had received during her first arrival; this time, she was far from overlooked. There's this hushed silence that blanketed the whole place, Zhi Ruo wa

[Yapperist]
Thirty minutes before their scheduled landing, a soft knock echoed through the quiet hallway as Ravel, the ever-dutiful butler, rapped his knuckles on Zhi Ruo’s door. He stood there, impeccably dressed as always, though his usual calm demeanor was tinged with something more urgent.The butler proceeded to inform that he got from the patriarch to Zhi Ruo. Ultimately, and very quickly, betraying the contract he had with his master's grandfather.Zhi Ruo who had just woken up after getting a 3 hour power nap, couldn't get a word in after she was bombarded with Ravel's information dump. She could only let her butler in wordlessly, and led him to the table where he continued to babble on.She, on the other hand, had other plans. After guiding Ravel to the table, Zhi Ruo didn’t bother sitting across from him. Instead, she walked right back to her bed, not even pretending to be interested in the deluge of information spilling from her butler. With a sigh, she plopped face-first onto the matt

Ye Gu Shi sat up straight his eyes gazing down at Ravel's form. He felt awfully overwhelming, that the butler who was just acting could not help but break into genuine cold sweat. "Ravel, I will now ask you to use that strength to aid me for a bit." The patriarch's voice reached Ravel's ears, Ye Gu Shi was solemn as he asked, it was obvious that he put great importance to this, that much Ravel could tell.Ravel furrowed his brows, his gaze still lowered on the floor. "May I ask what this is about?" He ventured out carefully, Ravel could almost feel the worried frown on Ye Gu Shi's face even though he did not dare to raise his eyes at this moment.There was a deep sigh that reverberated in the room, Ye Gu Shi almost seemed tired and worried all at once. This made the butler more curious than he would ever care to admit. "I know you have hidden your strength for quite some time, I hoped that you would be willing to use that strength to protect my granddaughter." His request came out lik

There was something deeply unsettling about the atmosphere in the room, an almost palpable tension that seemed to cloak the space and instill a sense of unease in anyone who crossed its threshold. However, it appears to be like the two men had not noticed each other's gazes as they were blatantly sizing each other up.There was a rather interesting look on Ravel's face as his face adorned a smile that even Zhi Ruo would find rather creepy. On the other hand, the Patriarch seemed entirely absorbed in his own thoughts, completely unaware of Ravel’s unnerving expression. His focus remained on the steaming cup of tea in his hand, his brow furrowing slightly as he took a slow, deliberate sip.There was nothing that Ravel could do but wait in silence with his impregnable smile.'Master has said that she has plans to deal with her grandfather when it comes 'with her secrets'. Though, I don't think she has taken into account how much the man has kept his eyes on her even if he was not in sig

[Luck]
Zhōngguó made a face in my direction, a clear attempt to provoke or elicit some sort of reaction. However, it didn't bother me in the slightest. If anything, it only made my amusement grow. I could feel a small smile tugging at the corner of my lips, but I chose not to indulge him. My attention gradually shifted away, and I soon ignored the weapon who was clearly trying to rile me up for his own entertainment. The soft hum that drifted from his direction served as a quiet backdrop, but I paid it no mind, busying myself with putting the petals away in their proper place."Why aren't you as excited as I thought you'd be?" His voice broke through the quiet, carrying a tone of curiosity. By now, he had already made himself comfortable, sprawled lazily across my bed like it was his own personal lounging spot. I could feel his eyes on me.With a quiet sigh, I swept my fringe away from my face, tucking the stray strands behind my ear. Slowly, I raised my head from the mask I had been inspect

My back straightened instinctively, a subtle tremor running through my hands as I stood among the sea of petals. The air was thick with the fragrance of flowers, in its own way, it was almost eerie. Each delicate bloom seemed to pulse with life, amplifying the excitement I could barely contain. If Ravel was here to see my expression, he would have called me a lunatic despite his upbringing.Still, it would have been weird if I wasn't excited upon receiving such a huge landfall. The realization that I could wield a law without ever fully mastering it was nothing short of incredible. It wasn't just any law either—it was one that felt deeply familiar, intricately woven into my life through the teachings of my master. The humm in my consciousness made me realize the true potential of the petals around me.But the excitement soon faded, the initial rush of wonder slipping away as the petals around me vanished at my command. With just a single thought, they retreated, condensing into a su

[The first law]
Although Zhi Ruo isn't entirely sure how Ravel levels up or even how her butler continues to grow stronger, she is certain of one thing: Ravel has the ability to level up. It's a fact she doesn't fully understand but has come to accept nonetheless. Zhi Ruo's puckered up her lips unconsciously. Her thoughts shifted to the state her contracts were in.Zhi Ruo finally tore her gaze away from the sapling, reluctantly pulling back her heightened senses so that she was no longer acutely aware of the intricate state of her contracts. With her focus shifting, her eyes settled on a delicate flower resting quietly a short distance away, its presence unassuming yet somehow captivating. Her expression remained mostly unchanged, though a faint glimmer of curiosity surfaced in her eyes. Having finished evaluating the first prize, Zhi Ruo turned her attention to the second, the one she had chosen at random. Naturally, it was the flowerInside the glass box sat an unassuming flower, its petals perf
