《The Villain’s Redemption》The Villain's Redemption

Li Yue struggled. How could she give up now? She had spent so much time preparing for this situation. She felt her heart pound louder against her chest, her body was screaming for oxygen. And then… she felt herself falling.
Li Yue had no idea how long the jump lasted. However, she knew it wasn't quick— A clear sign that the fall was longer than five meters. Was she going to die here? Li Yue's brow's creased. She had not even accomplished one mission as she had been too arrogant. She couldn't take an insult and had killed the people who provoked her from the previous worlds. This was her last chance.
A chance to live— to continue living.
Living. The thought made her confused. She couldn't remember anything from her past. Not her name nor the people that she loved. She was like a blank slate. And to be honest, her will to live on had never been strong. It was as if something inside her was telling her that it wasn't worth it. Still, a part of her was also screaming at her to continue living.
But wasn't she just a soul tasked to redeem the villains? Why did she need to live the life of other people? What was the purpose of doing all this? Confusion swirled in her mind.
In the past four worlds, this was the first time that she experienced something like this. And this was the first time that she had been confused and indecisive. She hated this feeling. She could die now and end it all. The five failed missions meant her soul will be obliterated. Then that would be the end of her. No more scheming, no more struggling, no more forcing herself to act. However, a part of her body was still fighting to take a breath.

She felt her head hurt as cold water rushed into her mouth. Was she really going to die now? She wanted to save him and yet she couldn't even save herself. What a ridiculous human being. Li Yue couldn't help but mock herself as the water enclosed on her, filling her lungs. Then darkness took her senses away.

The loud thunder jolted her up. For a few seconds, Li Yue's confused eyes roamed around her surroundings. Soon, the pitter patter of the rain against the water in front of her made her realize that she was lying on the mud a few meters away from the falls. She was alive? Li Yue didn't have the time to examine herself. She immediately looked for Mo Li. She struggled to stand as she let out a series of coughs. Li Yue raised her head and looked at the dark skies. Without the sun, it was hard for her to determine the current time. She took a step towards the fall, only to feel her knees tremble and buckle under her.
The struggle that she did earlier had completely consumed her energy. She shook her head, refusing to give up. She needed to find him. Li Yue let out a long sigh. The fact that she was still here could only mean that Mo Li was still alive. She examined the area one more time and immediately let out a gasp when she saw Mo Li lying about fifty meters away from her. Li Yue limped, no matter what happened, she would save the man.

Her gaze turned cold and determined. Slowly, Li Yue dragged her bruised and tired body towards him. Seconds immediately turned into minutes. Who would have thought that walking such a small distance would take her almost thirty minutes? The cold drizzle of the rain only made her situation worse. Biting her lower lip, Li Yue started to examine his pulse.
Mo Li was lying on his back, his face extremely pale, his heartbeat was faint and weak. If her guess was right, he must have lost consciousness from the fall. She eyed the waterfall and shook her head when she realized that the fall was about fifty to seventy meters high. It was definitely enough to kill someone inexperienced like them.
At least Mo Li was still alive. At least she was still alive.
Li Yue sat next to Mo Li. Unable to stop herself, tears flowed from her eyes like an unstable stream. She was alive. At least she was still alive. Relief flowed through her. She eyed the skies again, small drops of rain fell on her face. Sadly, she didn't know who she had to thank for this chance. Li Yue then balled her hands into tight fists.
This was due to her lack of power, lack of knowledge and experience. And this would never happen again. She gritted her teeth and thought of her space. It was small but she was able to fit three crackers and a small bottle of water in there. She also put a first aid kit and a waterproof matchbox to start a fire. She will survive!
With her new found determination, Li Yue started to examine Mo Li's body, making sure that he didn't sustain any fatal injuries. After a few seconds, Li Yue nodded. "Hey!" She poked his chest. "Mo Li! Wake up! You have to wake up. I can't carry you and we can't stay here. We need to find some shelter. A storm is coming."
"Hey… Mo Li. If you won't wake up. I will leave you alone." She added and started poking his chest again. "If you won't wake up I will touch your abs." She said. "If you won't wake up I will take a picture of your naked body and sell it to the highest bidder." Li Yue continued to talk. "You have to wake up Mo Li. I am too weak to protect you from wolves." Again, she raised her head towards the skies. This time, her lips were raised into a smile. Then she continued talking to him and she would keep talking until he woke up.

The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.
