After the lively banquet ended, each guests took their leave one by one. Some of them were bitter that they didn't interact with the Spirit Doctor that much, while some were already satisfied just seeing the doctor herself.
General Xiao, bid his farewell to his beloved guest. Though he had to dealt with some troublemakers, he was grateful that they didn't cause a bigger problem and he was also once again indebted to Zhao Ling after she defended his no good son.
___
The sky turned dark and the bright moon's beauty shined through the night sky. A man clad in a dark robe, was sitting on a tree branch not that far away from the Xiao's residence. He peeked curiously at a specific room on the residence, where a figure of a woman was seen sitting in her desk.
He turned his head to look at the moon, and back to the woman in the room, and he sighed.
'Ling'er, what are you doing in this world'
The mysterious dark robed man then vanished into thin air, leaving no trace but only the scent of osmanthus wine.
___
In a well lit room located on the innermost of the Xiao residency.
Zhao Ling was contemplating about something when she felt something was off. She turned her head to the open window behind her.
'Strange, was that window always open?'
She didn't think much of it and hurriedly closed the window to not let the cold breeze of the night enter her quarters.
She went back to her seat and chatted a little with the system.
Zhao Ling: Fufu, what level am I now?
[Host is currently level 6, with 500 points]
After originally saving the miss of the Xiao's, the system gifted her 100 points and ten additional skills. She was also able to unlock the System's store now, but the problem is..
'What the hell, half of the items in the shop are locked! There's nothing useful here and why is it so damn expensive?! What do you mean 100 points for a hair clip? Fufu explain!'
[This system was programmed to help host level up, naturally with host's effort and this system's assistance you should be able to unlock the other products. However that hair clip is not an ordinary hair clip host. |Not So Typical Hair Clip| may look like an ordinary hair clip to an ordinary person's naked eye, but host can put any kind of poison in it and it will automatically turn the poison into a much more lethal one. The poison wouldn't be detected once stored in the hair clip, it will remove all smell and taste of it. You can successfully poison someone without leaving any trace]
'Hmm, this hair clip isn't bad after all. But I still won't buy it for 100 points. It's too much'
She exited the shop and looked at her gained skills. Zhao Ling gained an additional ten skills after successfully curing Miss Xiao. She scrolled through her skills, hoping to find something that might pique her interest.
She stumbled upon a skilled called
Demon Tamer|.
'There's demons in this world?!'
[Answering host's question. Yes, demons exist in this world, though only a handful had actually seen them, that's because demons have more physical controls than evil spirits. Demons usually resides in dangerous tall mountain caves, or the underworld, they prefer a more quiet environment.]
'What's the difference between an evil spirit and Demons?'
[There's nothing much different between the two, other than their self control and physical forms. Evil spirits have almost no control on their body, since they only live to feed off of negative emotions from humans. The moment a person begins developing negative emotions such as lust, anger, hatred and greed, an evil spirit is formed. The more the person feel those negative emotions, the more the evil spirit grows. They also don't have any physical form, though higher level evil spirits could posses and control a mortal body with low cultivation. That's why the Holy Church exists, to clear off people's negative emotions and to avoid the evil spirits growth.]
[Demons on the other hand are more diverse creatures. Unlike evil spirits who are only spirits, demons can have a physical body. Demons have two forms, their physical form and their original demonic form. There are five powerful demons that rule over the underworld, all five of them have unique demonic form that are based off of their ruling tribe. The Sea Monster of The Red Ocean, The Molten Lava Monster of Mountain Szaar, The Giant Crow of the South Szaar Dessert, The Crawling White Snake of Bleeding Forest, and The Death Dragon that resides near the Demon Castle.]
'Demon Castle? So is there a demon king?'
[Host got it right. There is a demon king but over the years the King suddenly disappeared which made all creatures in the underworld a bit uneasy. The underworld is in shamble because of the disappearance of the demon King. Hence why there are currently more sightings of evil creatures recently.]
'Where did the demon King go then?'
[No one knows, the demon king just left without leaving anyone to do his work for him.]
'If demon's exist do other creatures exist too? Is magic also a thing in this world'
[Other creatures such as elves, fairies, dwarves, goblins and other magical creatures you usually see on fantasy books also exists here. Though a millennial had already past since the last sightings of them, no one knows where they went but after the great deity war that took place thousands of millennial back, those creatures begun disappearing one by one]
[To answer Host's question, yes magic exist. Though magic casters are often rare in this world, the Holy Church has a lot of them. Most members of the church are magic wielders, and are known as follower of The Great One]
'Who's The Great One?'
[The powerful god of this world, The Great One has a lot of followers all over the continent, and all of them are members of the Holy Church. The Church's influence are very powerful. I suggest to not offend them, host. They mostly eradicate creatures from the underworld, that's why the church and the underworld has a long history of hatred for each other. But now that the demon King is not present, it wouldn't be long for the Church to make a move.]
'Woah, well that's not my problem I guess. Those demons and church members seems tough, I don't wanna associate myself with them. Especially since I have yet to practice and master any skill in fighting or magic.'
[I encourage host to finally practice magic, you passed out after only using a little bit of spiritual energy while curing miss Xiao. The more you practice you power, the more dense your spiritual energy will be.]
'Alright Fufu, I will now learn all about magic!' \(★ω★)/
[Congrats host! As a reward, this system will gift you five Magic books, two for mediocre spells, two for hardcore spells and one Ancient book that contains Saintess level spells.]
'An ancient book?! I guess you really aren't worthless after all'
Zhao Ling looked at the glowing golden book in her hands and she observed it for awhile.
'This is too good to be true' She thought.
When she opened the book, there were blank pages.
'I knew it! Fufu what the hell is this!? You got me a blank book?!'
[Host calm down. The book's pages will only unlock when you reach a certain level, so please practice harder]
'Fine, I guess Fufu is right.'
Zhao Ling sighed and picked up the Glowing Silver Hardcore book and looked at the also blank pages in disbelief. (￣_￣)・・・
She then grabbed the mediocre leather book and looked at the blank pages furiously.
'Is this a prank?!'
[Host, remember that everything starts from the bottom, there is no short cuts in life. Work harder host!]
'I want to die. Give me a refund'
