Violet, now back in her room, looked as the setting sun streamed through the quaint wooden window slats, revealing dancing dust particles in the golden sunlight.
They were stirred up by the breeze caused by the suddenly closed door, billowing in her seldom-cleaned room. This was her temporary dwelling.
She stood against the door, listening intently for any external sounds. After a long while of ensuring no one was trailing her, and hearing no footsteps or unusual sounds, she heaved a sigh of relief and casually sat on the floor.
The soul within her body, Lin Xiaozheng, gazed absently at the clear sky, sparse clouds, and golden sunlight, feeling as though he was in a past life.
The body of this young girl named Violet was currently occupied by Lin Xiaozheng, an innocent bystander eating noodles on the roadside. He never expected that the kind of thing typically experienced by protagonists in online novels would happen to him.
After the initial excitement, he quickly calmed down and began to seriously analyze his situation.
From what he could tell, nobody knew that the current Violet was not the obedient little girl of the past.
But when Lin Xiaozheng sought to understand this world as quickly as possible, and opened the black boxes in the girl's dormant memories, the information he uncovered stunned him. He wished he had crossed over as a man instead.
This girl, Violet, was not just an ordinary mercenary, but a half-god witch.
To maintain world peace among all the races, the Supreme God, who had created this world, established Violet and three other witches using his own power as a cornerstone.
Their existence was for the purpose of maintaining world peace and the balance of power among the various factions. They couldn't allow any race created by the Supreme God to be destroyed.
At first, Violet and her companions were merely puppets, mechanistically using their powerful force to end wars.
But in the sea of blood smeared across the battlefield, she stood, the last of the living, amid countless souls who had fallen. Then, her divine revelation had occurred.
They started to realize their consciousness, and Violet was the first to wake up.
Given instructions from the Supreme God, any of God's creatures that awaken due to a divine revelation would gain their freedom.
Then, she disguised her real strength and identity and began to walk among human kingdoms, seeking the answer to her revelation.
She didn't anticipate that she would grow more confused over the course of her journey seeking answers.
The motivations behind human actions significantly deviated from the Creator's ideals, yet they still existed in this world.
Why wouldn't those nobles agree to be slaves, yet they had no problem forcing others to be their slaves?
And why are humans always involved in conflicts instead of living peacefully?
Confronted with a series of puzzling events, she finally decided to temporarily seal her power, determined to experience life as a human.
Likely, this was the reason Lin Xiaozheng's soul cross over here.
After understanding who he was from her memories, all his doubts disappeared. He contemplated that seal while snapping his fingers in the air.
Unlike other mages in this world, while Violet did seal her power, she could still manipulate the world's rules due to her half-god strength.
The objective of her power seal was similar to that of a game administrator who, wanting to immerse themselves entirely in the game they created, turns off their access system.
Hence, the way she cast spells didn't need to follow the rules the gods established for other beings living in this world. It was as instinctive as eating and drinking.
Lin Xiaozheng made this motion to test just how strong his sealed power was.
A black card materialized in front of him at his command. He grabbed it, closing his eyes to sense the power and soul it contained.
This was a magic capable of summoning a Sixth Tier Skeleton Warrior, the most powerful magic he could presently invoke.
On Earth, as a recent university graduate, he wasn't too familiar with the power ranking system of this world.
As for Violet, who had been overpowering various national armies with her half-god strength, she had always been disdainful of such hierarchical divisions of power.
Whether it be first level or twelfth level power, to her, the difference was like that between one centimeter and twelve centimeters.
At full strength, her power far surpassed the most powerful humans by over a hundred times.
So, an awkward situation had arisen. Violet, who planned to explore Black Crow Castle tomorrow, had no idea what kind of enemies she would encounter there or how strong they were.
Even if she could summon a skeleton warrior, how powerful was it? Would it be ground to dust like cannon fodder?
All of this was unknown.
Lin Xiaozheng held the card in his hand, on the verge of tears, then threw it out, summoning the Sixth Tier Skeleton.
This formidable skeleton, clad in heavy armor and wielding a large shield and a Knight Greatsword, stood eerily before Violet. Its soul was desirous of slaughter, its frenzied spiritual wave clearly conveying this wish.
Who should it fight? Who should it attack? Who should it kill?
But Violet had only summoned it for experimental purposes.
She hesitated for a while before sighing helplessly and snapped her fingers again, transforming it back into a black card.
The massive and ferocious skeleton warrior, reduced to a lifeless card once more. If not for holding it in her hand, she wouldn't even be able to sense the magic aura.
If a great mage were present at this moment, they would declare it a miracle.
Sofar, no mage had been able to revert a summoned creature back to its original form.
Even the most powerful mages didn't possess this ability, yet Lin Xiaozheng, after a simple introduction, accomplished it as effortlessly as breathing.
Feeling extremely anxious about his future, Lin Xiaozheng lay uneasily in bed.
Seeking a solution to his immediate troubles, he will set out for Black Crow Castle tomorrow.
