《Level system vs Cultivation methods》Chapter 27 : The witch

Year 1033 of the Zhang Dynasty - Outlands of Heavenly Phoenix City - Jinshi farm
(Shaolan POV)
“Shaolan, don't touch that“
Jinshi, my only parent alive, scolds me.
“This snake venom sells very well“ Shaolan
The Alchemists seem to use it for making pills.
“That is not the problem here!“ Jinshi
I don't know what bothers him, since I was ten years old I have been doing stuff like this.
“Getting poisoned by snakes, fungus, herbs and more. Why don't you act more like a 15 year girl?“ Jinshi
It were good years. The feeling of being on the border of death and defeating it cant be compared to anything else. And that wasn't all.
My body after recovering it seems to form some kind of defense against the same type of poison, making my body stronger than some cultivators against poisons.
“Don't you have any plan to marry?“ Jinshi
Marriage? ha.
“You know very well that it will not happen“ Shaolan
I roll up my sleeve and show him the scars of bites and poisons in my body.
“Every man in this Heavenly Phoenix City will be disgusted by these“ Shaolan
“...“ Jinshi
He looks at me with a guilty face.
“Don't worry dad, I am happy now and I have enough spiritual coins to live by my own“ Shaolan
I know that I cause him to worry for me, but I really like my life now.
“You never know, maybe someday someone will be attracted to my wealth“ Shaolan
“I really hope so...“ Jinshi
Not that I will be interested in that kind of man, but I need to give dad some hope.
------------------------
Year 1034 of the Zhang Dynasty - Outlands of Heavenly Phoenix City - East village
After saving enough coins, I decided to buy my own house in the village.

“Waaa! the Witch is here“ little girl
“Run“ little boy
Today, as always, I scared the kids. How would dad feel about this?
...
Well, it doesn't matter.
“Let's see what I'll find today“ Shaolan
As every day, I go to the eastern wall and talk to the guards.
“If isn't it the Witch“ guard A
“Today also will you go out?“ guard B
The herbs that I can find inside the city are very few, so now my search for goods extends also to the Outside.
“Yes, this is today's pass“ Shaolan
Of course I don't have a pass, in my hand there are spiritual coins.
“Everything seems in order“ Guard A
“Open the gate“ Guard B
...
After crossing the gate I make my preparations.
I take a special self made repellent poison in a sealed jug from my bag and drop its contents on me.
*splash*
It stinks and itches and makes my hair look like a broom, but it is the only form to be safe from the spiritual creatures.
The repellent duration is about three days, just the necessary time to go there and come back.
My target today is the meadows on the east.
“Time to job“ Shaolan
Today will be a fun day too.
------------------------
Year 1037 of the Zhang Dynasty - Outlands of Heavenly Phoenix City - Shaolan house
I was getting ready to go out when...
*knock* *knock*
Someone knocked the door.
“Yes, there I go“ Shaolan
When I opened the door, I could already see that this was not good.
“We are here in the name of the Joo family“ Joo family cultivator A
Three cultivators were at my door.
“You have the honor of being invited to the second son's mansion“ Joo family cultivator B
...They want me to be a toy of some kid.
“Come with us“ Shaolan

I don't think I have a choice.
“Of course, of course“ Shaolan
If I don't have a choice then...
“Please wait inside while I get changed. I smell very bad, don't I?“ Shaolan
“...“ Joo family cultivator A
“...“ Joo family cultivator B
“Be fast“ Joo family cultivator C
While walking to my room, I casually open a jug on the table on the way and leave.
......
...
Three men were on the floor.
“...zzz“ Joo family cultivators
“I'm nobody's toy“ Shaolan
They don't call me Witch for nothing.
“Now, what should I do?“ Shaolan
Living here now is impossible...
Maybe this is a good excuse to leave the city. I carry everything that I can in the bigger bag in my house.
...
After paying to the greedy guards one last time, I am ready to face the world.
“Ahh, the danger“ Shaolan
New poisons, new creatures, new forms of fighting dead.
“Lets go where my legs take me“ Shaolan
I start walking without destiny.
-One week after-
It seems this is it.
*Queakkk*
In front of me there is a Bronze Rank spiritual Rat of one meter and a half.
*Queak* *Queak*
My repellent don't work on it.
“I am not going down without a fight, little one“ Shaolan
Smiling, I take various types of poison of my bag with my hand. Each one in tiny recipients made by myself.
*Queakkk*
But that was useless, the rat Headbutts me.
“Uughh!!“ Shaolan
And I lost all my weapons.
“Aagrrh!“ Shaolan
It hurts a lot, but not more than some poison I tasted.
“DO YOU WANT ME? THEN COME AND EAT ME!“
I still standing , I offer my right arm to him.
*Queeeakkk*
“Uggh“ Shaolan
The spiritual rat bites a chunk my arm and a moment after, it drops on the ground.
“What, you didn't like it?“ Shaolan
All my Blood is poisonous, a side effect of playing with poison.
*Queak*
?
*Queak* *Queak*
Oh.
*Queak* *Queak* *Queak*
This is bad.
*Queak* *Queak* *Queak* *Queak* *Queak* *Queak*
I don't think my body can take all of them. Five of the same kind of before surround me.
“...It was a fun life“ Shaolan
As I get ready to be bitten to dead...
*QUEAKK*
A flying spear pierced one of them to death.
“Do you need help?“ woman in strange clothes
“...I would like to live, if possible“ Shaolan
Help is help, don't matter where it comes from.
“Okay then, Water Manipulation!“
A blue light paints the air for one second and no spiritual rat keeps its life.
“You defeated a Bronze rank spiritual creature without a System, you are incredible!“ woman in strange clothes
She just defeated five, I think that was more incredible but...
“System?“ Shaolan
“Do you want it? I could ask Master to give it to you in the Holy Land of Xue“ woman in strange clothes
I don't know what is she talking about, but it sounds fun.
“Holy Land of Xue? is that a city?“ Shaolan
“Something like that“ woman in strange clothes
“Then lets go there, I don't have other plans anyways“ Shaolan
“Good, my name is Yue Lynn“
“I am Shaolan, the witch“
...

Child of Dusk
Life can be cruel, especially to those who don't fit in. But what would you do if you were given a second chance? Tim was a nobody during his time on Earth. As a penniless orphan with no friends to speak of, life was tough for him in his little Arizona town in the '90s. He'd utterly lost hope for the future until one day, he was reincarnated as Alvanue, beloved daughter and heir to the Starlit Throne of Silthonduen. Now, Alvanue has everything a princess could ever want: a loving family, loyal comrades and an entire kingdom at her finger tips. But what good is a kingdom when there's a whole world of magic and mystery out there to explore? *** Ok! Disclaimer time. I do edit my own work and I do not have a beta reader, so please feel free to point out any errors or plot holes (politely, of course). Each chapter will be around 4,000 to 6,000 words long and while I was posting every day at the beginning, I think I'll cut that down to once a week for now, excluding bonus chapters! I really don't want to get burned out. I started writing this because I love world building, so this is gonna be heavy on lore. If you're not into that, there's still a ton of character progression and action to look forward to! It's going to be slow at the beginning, but I promise it will pick up eventually. Thanks for checking my story out, I appreciate it a lot!

Dhanurana
Out of an unnaturally quiet night, a bedraggled woman in noble finery requests access to the southern capital. Who she is has been lost to time for most, but her continued existence will throw everything further out of balance. Janurana had barely survived her royal house's destruction at the hands of foreign invaders, surviving day by day in the scattered pocket forests and arid shrub lands, constantly escaping the ghosts of her past. The south has barely survived their recent Pyrrhic victory against the north immediately followed by a coup. The north is bloodied but unbowed, on the brink of civil war, but still ready to take up arms against the southern invaders. The leaders of the south cannot afford another obstacle. And Janurana is just that. Yet her chance meeting with a woman expelled from the warrior class named Dhanur gives them both a chance to avenge the ones they loved, finish what they failed to do, and return to a normal life. *** Set in a fantasized bronze age India featuring LGBT female leads. Told in an omniscient pov with glances into multiple characters. This is my first book even if I've been working on it for a while but I hope you can all still find some enjoyment and take a break from everything happening in the world. Remember to work on your dreams. :)
