《Myriad Huntress》Chapter 25: New pattern
Advertisement
In the end, she said goodbye to Zoltan saying she will be resting for a long time.
Although Zoltan was confused, he said everything was alright as the barmaid was still taking care of her body.
She thanks him before she decided to go offline.
Since every energy on her body has a small amount, she rather saves them and focuses on healing her body.
Joan finally avoided using telepathy to accelerate her healing, although knowing what's happening is important, it was useless to her if she was in this state and can't do anything about it.
She uses all her energy to focus on regeneration and slowly fix the energy channel inside her.
While doing this, she suddenly remembers that she hasn’t access the system for months now. She was focusing on training herself and forgotten about it along the way.
“Status!”
“…”
Joan just rolls her eyes and imagine opening the blue box.
“Ding”
“Mission complete:
“After successfully protecting Ciri from the hunt, you have gained 50,000 points.”
“Ding”
“By killing “Nithral” you have gained 25,000 points
Suddenly she stops breathing (she doesn’t need to breathe in her current situation) while looking at those points.
Points: 110,000
“Buy Dimensional Box!”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes dammit!”
“Ding!”
“Congratulations on buying the deluxe 1 cubic meter dimensional space!”
“How do I used this-“
Suddenly a cubic meter space appeared in her consciousness, she looks around it and inspects every corner. Then a bunch of Ideas began to appear on her mind.
“Fuck, just thinking of things I can put inside makes me excited!”
But sadly, base on her situation, she can’t currently use it.
“Well whatever, just going to wait until I fully recover then I will make some plan."
"Ding"
"After breaking the seal of Spd stats, you have gained [Flexible Hand (F)] - You have gained the ability to make your hand faster, with this ability, all hands related skill will improve by 5%.
Looking at this skill, she was not disappointed or surprised.
"By this skill, I can do more flexible attack." she murmurs while thinking how to use this skill.
Then she looks at her status and frown;
Title: Cooking assistant
Joan Asahi
Phy-20 (seal) +7
(New) Spd-20 (seal) + 3
Wis-20 (seal) + 4
Luck-5

Golden points: 0
Just looking at the status on her screen tells her current situation.
"All my stats were in grey; does it mean I can’t use them or are they disable because of my body?"
She sighs and wants to rub her temple but forgot that she can’t control her body right now.

First, let’s talk about how she improved her skills during her hunt on those monsters.
-
During her bounty hunting time, she has been fighting different monsters alone while Geralt was just a spectator while guarding for a possible ambush.
During those hunts, when she was surrounded by enemies, she will use [Bio-Electric shock] to stun them for three seconds. It works on flesh creatures like ghouls, wolves, and drowners (Sort of like merman but very ugly version.) After that, she separates herself from them and use [Bio-electro enchantment] on the crossbow and kite them (the act of hitting the enemy while running away).
By ranking up her [Bio-electro enchantment] she can penetrate most of the monster’s hide easily. The concentration of energy on the tool became faster making her look like shooting automated firearms. Its energy also became denser making the penetration damage much stronger.

That’s why during the fight, she was shooting a gun while running away making the enemies chase after her.
Thinking of it was easy, she decides to do a little risk by making herself blindfold while fighting enemies.
Geralt didn’t say anything and just look at her like an idiot. Well, she was blindfold so she didn’t see it. If she did…Well who cares, he’s going to save her ass anyway if she has gotten herself near in danger on the way. Thanks, Geralt for your wonderful support!
While she uses a 150-meter radar, she can see the change of new upgrade. She can now see the exact shape and figures of energy. She can see everyone's expression without looking at them with those energy shapes. Sadly, using 150 meters’ radar consume much energy, that’s why she limits herself to 50 meters because it’s enough to use in battle.
Now for the true shot, well it’s not hard to rank it, had to say, it was almost the easiest skill she can upgrade. Why? She just follows the route and shoots them randomly without care. With its ranking up, additional 2 targets have been added. With this, she can now shoot six targets at the same time.
The tracker can be used alongside the [Bio-Electro radar]. This skill allows her to find and investigate the evidence and find the trail of the suspect. Using this, no criminal was safe from her detective skills.
Using this, she tracks the monster’s hideout using her sense like smelling its piss (Yes, she does that, don’t judge me!) tasting the blood (Geralt says it’s part of the job, now I’m starting to rethink about my decision in life.) and using my eye to track footstep however old the track is. Yes, by using these skills, she regrets being a witcher for a short period. (The time when she can’t find a clue where the fuck is the bounty is and forced to use her sense to smell its crap to find it.).
Of course, all of this fighting and swinging my sword tirelessly, my [Weapon mastery] has finally upgraded. Truth to be told, she doesn’t know if this is useful or what. She can fight and spot any weakness in enemy form during the fights in the bandits. But she can just pommel her sword at them with her Phy stats. Well, she will have just to wait what will happen after the next rank.
And the last but not the least, the passive [Cellular regeneration]. She doesn’t need to say how important this skill right now, but due to her low energy, she can’t fully use it.
Right now, what is important was to focus all her energy on healing. She was itching to know what's currently happening outside, but her body won’t have allowed her.
Sighing sadly, she retreats on her shell called consciousness and waited until she was somehow healed before she attempts any action again.
-
Days become weeks, and weeks become months. She became numb on counting the days passing by. She has been staying on her consciousness for so long that it is almost driven her mad. With nothing else to do, she tried to think of something, then remember the meditate skill that has still has been stuck at E rank till now.
“Contemplate about life? How should I do it? Should I hum like a monk?”
While ridiculing herself, she began to remember all the things in her life before the system came and kidnap her (or murder her by a bolt of lightning). She was just an ordinary girl, having normal activities. She like listening to boy bands, talking about the latest gossip on school, and having a crush on the varsity players. All of it was her being just an ordinary girl, then a bolt of lightning came and change her life.
“I’m still wondering if I’m trapped in my delusion and currently lying on a hospital bed somewhere while in a coma, but the pain I felt was real, those emotions I experience were real. Then what is fake? I was always wondering if someone out there was controlling my every action like in those novels where they suddenly got power-ups and become strong, but at the end of their journey, they suddenly discover the mastermind behind was their most trusted tool; The system!"
She looks at the blue screen but nothing happens. She narrows her eyes and snorts.
“Cheh, I thought you’re going to retort.”
“…” System
If the system has a will, it already rains so many lightning strikes to Joan making it vanish.
She suddenly became quiet and look at her invisible hands.
“I change…” she murmurs
After the transport to another world, she became a different person, she became savage, seeking enemy to kill, becoming a cold-hearted bitch, and just like a hunter looking at her prey.
“I became a cold-hearted person, if I am on my world, I will think my action twice before killing a cockroach, now I don’t even spare a glance to human life as if they were cockroach themselves.”
She remembers every face of the people she killed and saw their faces full of hatred.
“But I became like this because I want to become strong since I already walk this path, I shall regret nothing, I will not turn back on my old way and hesitate.
If someone wants to harm me, be ready to face the consequence,
If somebody wants to hurt my family, I will make them suffer,
If somebody wants to control me, I will make them see that they control the wrong person!”
Suddenly Joan's sympathy for those she killed disappeared replace by firm determination.
“I will walk the path of bones, not looking back as I sat the top throne that will see the highest peak!”
“Ding”
During yourself introspection, you have found yourself and your will to face all coming challenge. [Meditation (E-D)] rank up.
She didn’t pay the new notification a glance and close her eyes and feel the serenity inside her consciousness.
-
After a year
Joan felt herself half of her body already heal up. She can feel her regeneration was now working full time with fixed veins transferring energy to the damaged part. Excited she attempts to open her senses-
There was sudden indescribable pain havocking her whole body. She almost shouts loudly but immediately closes her senses.
She breathe hoarsely, she can feel her spirit getting weary after that painful experience.
“Fuck!” that’s the only thing she can say, looks like she will need another year to fix herself. She just sighs and decides to open her radar and talk to Zoltan and check how’s her current condition.
Thinking of this, she opens her radar skill and looks around.
If she can move her eyes, she will bulge it on what she was seeing today.
She was in the cart, laying on the wooden floor. Zoltan was at her side looking haggard. Around her, elves, dwarfs, and different non-human creatures look the same as Zoltan; haggard, tired and hungry.
She can see everyone's energy shape clothes are torn and their face looks numb.
"..." She suddenly felt sleeping again

sHe: THE RISE OF THE NEW BREED (BOOK 1)
An airborne biochemical attack occurred, where the deadly Medusa Virus had leftover 4 billion women alone to defend themselves on earth... ...after it wiped out the entire male species worldwide. Those women, who were pregnant with the infected males' semen of the virus, soon gave birth to a Third Specie -- the new breed of mutilated-transgender - resulting in the co-existence of the androgynous male-boys. Many years later, the women-ruled government had taken measures, by containing some of these 'coming of age' boys, inside abandoned prisons --- so to secretly harvest their semen -- for the future propagation of womankind. This led to the shemale mutineers creating an insurrection, which soon spearheaded a prison breakout -- and next into, a civil war against the dominatrix government.
