My name is Faladhina Kiseki.
Kiseki which is written in the Japanese Kanji that means "Miracle".
My parents, a Human Father and a Kitsune Mother give me that name in the hope that I become a miracle on this current generation.
The hope that comes true, to a certain extent.
I am blessed with miraculous beauty from my Mother, a beauty that can mesmerize both male and female from all the sentient races.
I am also blessed with miraculous physique, far stronger than any ordinary man and cultivation talent way better than any other member of my family in the same generation.
I was born on the 25th day in the Month of Fumizuki[1].
At the age of only 10 years old, while other people in my family are still struggling to reach the fourth level of Foundation Establishment Realm with the ample amount of cultivation resources given out for everyone fairly and squarely, I have already reached the sixth level of Foundation Establishment Realm.
With my beauty coupled with my naturally strong physique due to being half human and half youkai, I am getting popular by the nickname "Battle Vixen".
I am used to become a Pride of my Parents, being the Number One member in the current generation of my family.
Until one day, my Uncle who is only older than me by eight months defeats me in annual family gathering youth tournament.
Impossible.... He is only on the fifth level of Foundation Establishment Realm at that time....
How can he cross the level to defeat me who is one whole level higher than him?
Not to mention that I am also physically stronger than others in the same level with my exquisite skills and marvelous battle prowess.
That unbelievable defeat on that year is the beginning of my downfall....
My parents, like every other Asian Parents out there, who always expect their children to get A+ and prepared to beat their child whenever they get B or below begin to harshly scold and punish me for every little mistake I make after that time.
They accuses me of getting lazy and slacking off in my cultivation practice, that's the only possible reason they have for me being defeated by someone with lower level than I am.
Believe me, I am NOT!
I still cultivate properly, train my martial arts diligently,at every single day, never resting or taking holiday for even one moment.
While other kids my age are enjoying their school life and playing with each other, I spent all my time after school with training and cultivation.
I started to feel the unfairness of the world and begin to become a "Fallen Prodigy", the once extrovert brave girl bit by bit turned to become an introverted girl, losing the confidence and self esteem she once has.....
And then, on the next year's annual family gathering youth tournament, I who have finally reached the beginning of the seventh level of Foundation Establishment Realm and already on the verge of breaking to the eighth level are defeated once again by my Uncle who have unexpectedly also reached the seventh level of Foundation Establishment Realm on the month before....
Why? How? Unbelievable....
I have trained together with him for the whole year, following him through the four seasons, but somehow he now managed to even surpass me in cultivation level....?
The harsh scolding my father gives to me and the cold look my mother showered for me after the gathering ended never felt so hurts before.....
One week later, I am assaulted by the Inner Heart Demon when I am trying to forcefully break through to the eighth level of Foundation Establishment Realm.
I am almost dead by that time.... Almost....
And surprisingly, the one who comes and saved me from the brink of death at that time is my Uncle whose name is Wiradhi Ranata.
He pulled me out from my critical condition, stabilized my cultivation state, and even helped me out to safely break through to the eighth level of Foundation Establishment Realm.
I don't know what I feel at that time, being saved by the one who brings me down in the first place.
No...., it's wrong. It's not my Uncle's fault for defeating me twice in succession every year.
Winning and losing are both natural conclusion whenever people fights with each other.
I didn't know what I think at that time, but with my Uncle treating me so gently, I felt so secure and comfortable.
Starting from that time, I began to get closer and closer to my Uncle.
He often comes to my cultivation place and pulled me out from my bitter cultivation to play together with him.
Never before I tasted the sweetness of childhood at that time, playing together with him and other kids turned out to be so fun that I often lost track of time playing games, watching anime, reading manga and light novels together with him.
(Author's Note: Yup, her Uncle is basically training her to become a Female Otaku, introducing the otaku culture to a helpless, downed to the bottom little kid XD)
Of course, my antics are not left unseen by my parents....
I often got even more scolding and harsher punishments from them.
Everytime that thing happens, I will always cry out my frustration to my Uncle, and then he will patiently coaxed me and consoled me until I feel better.
Needless to say, the tender care he gives out to me started to make me feel that something warm is beginning to sprout in my heart.
I begin to become so dependent on him, to the point that there is never come a single day that I don't spend by clinging around with him.
My Uncle is the best~ (-^_^-)
That happiness comes around as the days gone by, the week passed over, the months moving, the seasons changing and the year progress forward.
Finally, I am 12 years old now.
And it's time for the annual family gathering youth tournament again.
However, unlike in the previous yearly event, I attended it with a calm and relaxed attitude.
I already know anyway that the scene from the previous two Annual Family Gathering Youth Tournament will repeats again.....
And unsurprisingly it comes true, my uncle defeats me again in the finale, his cultivation surprisingly has progressed so much that he is now in the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, one whole realm higher than me.
I am not surprised anymore, everyone else here are also already getting used to it.
But I am still curious, how can my Uncle still have progressed so much in his cultivation despite him always been playing together day to day with me whose cultivation speed have fallen to become slower like those ordinary people?
Did he train and cultivate at night when everyone is sleeping while he spent the day playing around with me?
But what makes me surprised even more, why is that my parents are not scolding or punishing me anymore?
Why?
