Zhi Ruo peered into her status, she didn't want to admit it but she somewhat understand why their is a second year syndrome. To call upon something and have fruits is truly worth the time and effort. She never had that syndrome, because she was living in it. To call upon something that is magical, to see something that defies logic.
Her fingers moved and she continued to add more points into a her stats.
She doesn't understand, as to why others in earth desire the reality she has. Power? Fame? Honour? To someone who has reached immortality once, she often wondered if it was worth it. Achieving your goal that you spent your lifetime trying to achieve, and then achieving it. Then what? That driving force behind you that pushed you through your limits is suddenly gone. After that? Death would be most satisfying, to rest after achieving a human desire.
To Zhi Ruo who achieved immortality in a span of a human lifetime. This is something she still couldn't grasp, to her it was like holding thin air. There is something, but there is nothing. Now that she is in another body and was back to being mortal. She had something, to her now, it's just a matter of perspective.
Zhi Ruo suddenly smiled.
In this world, her reality was everyone's reality. She doesn't have to understand all that philosophy bullshit, in this lifetime she is a trashhhhhhh a big patty whack TRASH.
So...

In the end she equaled her status and left 24 stat points. Having such even status numbers somehow puts something in her mind at ease, like arranging books in a alphabetical order, or arranging blocks from smaller to bigger and and vice versa.
"Hey! How do I use the lottery tickets?" Zhi Ruo asked in the air, waiting for her response.
[Answering host, please state "system use a ticket"]
And the system answered, though it was not the answer that Zhi Ruo was waiting for. "..." Zhi Ruo stared blankly at the notification in front of her. Ok the cringe in this one is tolerable. As her upper lips twitch words left her mouth.
"System use a ticket." I'll fucking sue who's behind this I swear.
[Congratulations! You have used your first ticket you have received 50 stat points!]
[Using ticket...which category would host like?

•Armory

Zhi Ruo's fingers hovered over the the glowing 'Aid' word. Without much thought she pressed down on the word. The notification glitched and distorted, and the surrounding area of Zhi Ruo was seemingly shaken. Much like when Zhi Ruo used her dimension. This was similar, to rip the space and time continuum. To rip the reality to bring forth a tangible object.
The outlines of the object started to appear, a roulette wheel appeared. But instead of numbers, there appeared incoherent wordings and symbols. Next to the gleaming roulette it appeared a lever, with a big red handle and a glowing orb on the tip. Zhi Ruo approached the lever that was floating infront of her.
The very touch of her finger tip made the orb glow eerily, as if judging what mental state Zhi Ruo has. She didn't even need to bring her hand down on the lever, before itself switched itself. A pretty random thing to happen, confusion marked Zhi Ruo's face. But she was unsurprised as she was surprised.
The wheel rolled, and rolled like it should, and great anticipation bubbled up inside Zhi Ruo's stomach.
"I better get a good one or else!" Her eyes gleamed as the roulette was put on a random stop. It then glowed and disappeared, on its place was a dazzling light. Zhi Ruo didn't dare to close her eyes. She stood and looked at the light that was as wide enough for a person to slip in. A hand emerged it was clad with a pristine white glove, it reached out for Zhi Ruo. She grasped it in amazement, and gradually pulled out the person emerging.
Rose gold hair, and red ruby eyes. A person who wore an attire that was made for a butler, his dazzling handsome face was graced with a smile as he kneeled down in front of Zhi Ruo. He gently grasped Zhi Ruo's hand and laid a kiss. "Greetings master." His alluring voice called upon Zhi Ruo, who looked at the person in front of her in daze.
"And, you are?" She pulled the man out from his kneeling position, she was rewarded with a healing smile. This made her smile wryly.
"Ravel Qualve Restmathure, from now on I am master's aid, butler, confidant and subordinate." Ravel smiled at the dazed Zhi Ruo.
"My aid? I- what rank? I mean are you strong?" Zhi Ruo struggled to get a proper question out. His smile legit could bend her will.
"Please look yourself master." Ravel opened his palms. And a familiar blue window hovered on his palms. Zhi Ruo peeked at the contents and almost jumped.

She looked at how many zeroes at the MP, and HP bar. She looked at Ravel who was smiling fondly at her. "What does this rank mean?" She asked, and looked at Ravel who was looking at the cabinet near the table fool of food.
"It is the rank of what master could get in the lottery." He said while making tea, having found some on the cabinet. "As master could see, I am Rank 10. This is the highest rank master could get in the lottery." Ravel boiled the tea leaves, and guided Zhi Ruo back to her seat. She looked bewildered at the space where the roulette was were.
"Does it mean I got a really lucky draw as my first time?" Zhi Ruo looked up at Ravel that was making space for the tea that he just made.
"Indeed, congratulations master." He smiled and held the platter between his arms.
Zhi Ruo took a sip at the tea that was freshly brewed. "Yum...." Zhi could only mutter in amazement, the plain tea almost change in the hands of Ravel. She took some more before looking at Ravel who was standing in the side contently. "Say...Ravel what are you?" She put the cup down with a clink.
Zhi Ruo curious had been observing the prize that she got form the system's gacha. The person was almost too perfect to be true, yet he was real, and she could not feel anything artificial about him. Ravel, who was supposed to be a prize, was a human. But his royalty to her was questionable, and so was his being.
Ravel kneels in front of Zhi Ruo, she merely looked at Ravel in confusion. "Master should not worry about my loyalty to you. The moment you have rolled for my name, I was yours." He stood up. "the system answered my call, I am but a soul that has passed away. And the system granted my wish to live more."
"I wished to serve a master, for it is the only thing that I find valuable, I wished to exist to serve a master. I am real, I'm merely just a man who was granted a second chance by the system." Ravel took the empty cup and refilled it. "From now on forward, master is my only purpose in life." Ravel smiled as he tucked the platter in his hands.
Zhi Ruo pursed her lips, and the gears in her head clicked together to process. "Ravel... From which world have you come from." A man who had died became a soul, granted by the system to live a second life, became a prize and ended having her as a master. A butler suit and a person who came from a portal. So.... From which world does this man come from.
Ravel sighed and smiled in amazement. "I hailed from the world called Verre. I once served an emperor of Verre who ruled 58 kingdoms underneath his banner. As a person who came from lowly status, it was my greatest desire to serve under that man who ruled 58 kingdoms underneath him. But a person as great as he has more people one could ever think of." Ravel tucked a rose gold hair that fell from his ear, and his ruby eyes met Zhi Ruo's.
"I became one of those people who merely served on the sidelines. My desire grew, so I trained. But great peril befell the great empire, and that great emperor fell into the hands of one of his greatest herald. It was a coup d'etat, and every one of his people who he had thought was his ally betrayed him one by one. Until it was just I who was left.
On the very last of my breath I fought for the the emperor I called my master, but alas it was my greatest regret that I could not save him in the end. I died on the same herald who had killed the emperor. " he smiled at Zhi Ruo now, who was listening to his story. "The system lent me a helping hand you see, it told me that it would find a suitable master for me to serve. And I accepted, I waited for centuries on end for the person that the system said would be my master.
And now, I'm in the hands of my master." Ravel lowered his head. "So I'll say this again, I Ravel Qualve Restmathure rest in the hands on my master...."
"Liu Zhi Ruo"
"Liu Zhi Ruo, who I vow to serve my whole life." Ravel raised his rose gold head "And so master. Please do not worry, I will aid you on your endeavors. I can answer questions if master has any."
"Then we are the same then," Zhi Ruo had took of the veil, finding it difficult to drink tea with it. "We are family then." She smile thinly, that smile made her sunken cheeks apparent. This made Ravel look at Zhi Ruo worriedly.
"Family?" Ravel twisted the word on his tongue, before smiling warmly. "We are family." His smiled widened when he saw Zhi Ruo nodded.
"I see, well master. I only know a summary of your life here as of the moment. Are you perhaps like me? Who hailed from a another world?" Ravel asked curiously. "Ah! Of course if you do not want to answer I totally understand-"
"Nonsense! We are family so I suppose I can tell you." Zhi Ruo waved off the bubbling mess Ravel had become. " Indeed, my soul came from the world called earth. There, powers like Qi and Mana does not exist. I the only living immortal who had achieved immortality in a span of a mortal lifetime, was the only person there aside for my master who had passed away, is the only person who can use these powers." Zhi Ruo flexed the hands that was not holding a cup of tea.
"It was as if I did not belong there."

It didn't take long for Zhi Ruo and Ravel to traverse out of the bustling streets. As they walked, the scenery had changed, the shops and stalls that were opened were gone by the time they had turned to a street. Instead, there were huge gates and walls that lined up. Guards and occasional maids were going in and out of these gates.Ravel was leading Zhi Ruo to a place that was in a relatively quiet environment. The place was well over double the size of the mansions that they passed through.Ravel opened the large gate rather easily and he closed it with equal smoothness, Letting Zhi Ruo in.The first thing that Zhi Ruo saw wasn't the walls of her new mansion but a fountain that didn't have water spraying out of it. She barely took a glance at it before following Ravel into the path of the house.Unlike the usual courtyards, the architecture of the mansion was not like it. Instead it was made

Smiling like a devil, Zhi Ruo continued to harass the maid. "This Xiaojie doesn't go out much, tell me what other important matters is happening in the Liu Fu?"Groaning, the maid supressed the urge to vomit everything she had consumed.

Second and the third Xiaojie went out this morning to personally buy the medicine the doctor had prescribed.""Go on.""I heard," stuttering she continued. "I heard from the General Liu's butler, that the general's symptoms are much more severe than the rest of the masters. The general might not come to court this day.

The birds flew by the Zhi courtyard, on the entrance of the courtyard was Zhi Ruo eating breakfast and having tea. Ravel beside her refilling the cup from time to time. Both perked up when they heard footsteps comming to the courtyard. "Leave," Zhi Ruo waved her hands. "Yes master," and obediently, Ravel took all of the containers and left. Only the tea cup was left, the faint herbal smell emitted from the cup. Zhi Ruo took her mask and put it on. The figure of the maid bringing a tray of food was seen. Her body was trembling, but she didn't dare drop the food. "This lowly nubi greets the first Xiaojie..." Loud as a whisper, the maid greeted. "Stand up," without being told twice the maid stood up and sat down on the ground when Zhi Ruo pointed down. "Eat," it was like routine by the third time. With no will power left, the maid obediently ate the food that she bro

The second concubine did not stop spouting nonsense, even after she felt like her throat is burning. "I sure you would agree with your second niang right? Our first Xiaojie is very bright!

Liu Bai Pan hid the sinister grin threatening to take over her face.Zhi Ruo could somewhat understand what was going on, Liu Su Yang was desperate; desperately looking for someone to blame on. General Liu might've been furious by now, and it would be no surprise if he would impulsively put the blame on Su Yang's head. It was very likely that she would be the only one who would have known the location, and access of the warehouse.Zhi Ruo tapped on the rotting table, her eyes crinkled with a smile. But under her mask, she was baring her teeth in silent laughter. "Indeed, I do know what's the best course if actions.""Yes

The tea leaf floated lazily on the boiling hot water on Zhi Ruo's hand. Oddly enough, despite the hot liquid on her cup, the heat did not touch her palm.

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.

[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.

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.

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.

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'.

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.

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.

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.
