Where am I?...
----------------
It feels warm…
----------------
I hear a faint voice
----------------
“You------”
----------------
Huh?
----------------
“You did it! I knew you could do it!”
-------------------------
… ‘Who are you?’
-------------------------
-------------------------
-------------------------
*sniff sniff* I heard sniffles around me as I slowly woke up.
“FENIX! You’re awake!!!!”
As I slowly woke up, I started to regain my vision. Ayuzawa is here… and there’s another girl? She’s holding my hand with a solemn look on her face, she was crying without making any noise.
Although, I woke up… it looks like she doesn’t want to see me or face me. Is it perhaps the girl I saved?
“Why?”
The girl asked as her crying intensifies.
“Why?” I said in confusion to her question.
“Why would you save someone you just met? Why not be like the ones who ran away and used me as a decoy?”
“When there’s someone in need… is there really a reason to ask why? Why would you save someone? Perhaps it’s not logical in surviving, or it might seem like it was a dumb move to risk my life to try to save someone else’s I’ve never knew. Well, to be honest, I’d admit that it was also a dumb move to make, but my body acted on it’s own and so did my heart. If I could save someone I would make that choice anyday anytime.”
*sniff*sniff* “It doesn’t make sense… YOUR ACTIONS DON’T MAKE SENSE!” she shouted at me and plunged her chest onto the bed weeping and crying while grasping my hands.
“It’s okay, as long as you’re safe that’s all that matters to me.” I said as I gently caressed her head resting on my body.
“So, I’m really sorry to ask about your traumatic experience, but what was that all about? The cause of the incident and why did your guildmates abandon you?”

“It… it’s not a bright story to tell… I was abandoned…. It’s actually not a very new story, I was always mistreated in my guild… being the one who held aberrant powers in comparison to the norms nowadays. I’ve always been treated badly and I’ve always been at the short end of the stick. Being treated badly, forced to support them always their lap dog… I was always forced to do their bidding be it inhumane… I had to do it, or more like I was forced to. During our skirmishes to the dungeon levels I would also always be forced to support them and always acted as a bait… even after all of the hard work and most dangerous positions being covered by me… they always take 95% of all of the earnings of that session and threw the remaining at my face… I HATE IT… I’m… so sick and tired of this, I was actually slightly relieved that I was finally going to die… I can’t live like this any longer.”
“Why do people always have to be like this.” I muttered to myself in annoyance.
“Well, do you want to join my guild …….. Etto, I forgot to ask for you name.”
“My name is Kuyomi Yanai”
“Alright, then Kuyomi Yanai, do you want to join my…. Nevermind, will you join my guild? I promise you that it’s a guild of compassion and passion.”
“Hehhh- you would even go so far as to invite me to your guild even after saving my life… I have a cursed power on me that caused me to be distrusted and treated as a monster ever since I it became physically seen. And you’re telling me you want to recruit someone like that into your guild? I don’t understand.”

“To me, a cursed power is only something cursed if you believe so yourself, even if it’s cursed you yourself can change the darkness to the light. And who’s to say that cursed means it’s bad? I don’t believe so, neither should you. I believe that that cursed power would prove to be your strongest weapon and your greatest light in a certain point of your life.”
Kuyomi’s burst into tears after hearing me.
“Th-Thank you so much Fenix, I would gladly accept your guild invite.”
Mei looked at us with a content smile.
“さすがfenixです”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back at Fenix’s home.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Well then, Kuyomi, let’s begin the ritual.”
“... Yes!” she said as she sat on a stool beside of the einrit
“Please remove your shirt, I need direct contact with your back.”
Kuyomi does as she’s told albeit being flustered.
“KYAAA~” she squealed as I placed my hand on her bare back.
“Wh-wh-what? What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing, please proceed.”
“Okay, if you say so.”
I focused my energy and brought upon the energy that was flowing in the einrit towards my body. A cyan light can be seen floating from the einrit around me swirling in a soothing river pattern around my body. As I feel the energy surround me I focused on using this energy to materialize an insignia on Kuyomi’s back, the cyan stream can be seen flowing into Kuyomi. It ultimately became a floating circle behind of Kuyomi and pushed onto her back burning an insignia on her.
“Do you have a statistics card Kuyomi?”
“Yes, I do, do you need it?”
“ Yes, I need it to update your stats and your guild. Could you hand it over?”
As I received the statistics card I had a closer inspection on the card, it was a plain white statistics card that had roughened up edges and slight burns. It barely looked like it resembled a rectangle.
“Uwaghhh, this statistics card is in bad shape? Was this also the work of your guildmates?”
“Yes.”
“It’s okay, this will work, we’ll definitely earn enough to buy you a proper one too, this just won’t do.”
Upon hearing those words, Kuyomi slowly welled up tears in her eyes, they were words that were gentle and warm, unlike those she’s heard her whole life. It was someone who was kind to her.
As how I’ve always been updating statistics card, I focused the energy of the einrit and my energy towards the card, a cyan light landed on the card vertically and spread out as if it was a smoke circle. The card was updated.
“While I’m at it, I should probably update my statistics card too.”
"Here you go Kuyomi, you're updated stat card."

Outer Sect Disciple
Gongsun Xianyuan, eleven years old, was a genius... or he should have been. Unfortunately when the Cultivator of the Wudang sect came to the village he found out that he had a rare condition that prevented him to cultivate in the arts of the sect. He didn't give up right away but in the end he had to resign himself to the truth. At first he despaired but he soon choose to let his dreams go and begin a new life. This is the tale of an untalented cultivator who had given up in his dreams of glory to live a normal life. How will his future unfold? ------------------------- My native language is neither English nor Chinese, I am writing a Xianxia novel because I like the genre. I have tried to maintain the chinese names and the form of address but I used the measurements of the international system(meters, grams, etc..) and the hour time(no incense stick, or others). It may spoil it for some but I think it would be easier both for me and the readers. Before you read keep in mind that this is a novel with a slow progress. I don't want to give any spoiler but at least a few chapters will be dedicated to his life in the village.

Years passed and he grew up in a caring and warm home, developing a passion for all magical beasts, choosing the path of a Summoner as his way of life. While his love and knowledge also grew boundless, his practical abilities clearly pointed out his complete lack of compatibility with that school of magic, but he never wavered in his resolution. Follow Asterios as his life of perpetual failure and bullying suddenly takes an unexpected turn, after just seconds short of his death, a powerful summon answers his call and saves his life. Wait... doesn't it look like... A GIRL?! Are those animal ears and tail?! ★━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━★ Release schedule: Two times a week is the goal. Most likely Tuesday and Friday. What to expect:A quite chill fantasy adventure with an MC devoted to summoning magic and fantasy beasts, slowly getting rid of his title of the Weakest Summoner (sudden strength gain but with progressive development), lots of exploring, magic, encounters, lots of character development, quite some fluff and feel-goods and perhaps a lovely harem of Monster Girls (not too many). It's a quite light story.
