[What will become of me, what will become of me]
[It will be that it will be the feast of a meeting of colleagues]
[It will be, that I will be eaten in some building of this palace, to then kill myself, and I have heard that some officials do that.]
[Will he take me to his house ... and I will be his concubine, no, I doubt it.]
[It will be...]
[It will be...]
[It will be...]
[It will be...]
Many dire thoughts swirled in the mind of the young woman, Rin, as she followed with submission and fear to him, who would now be judge and executioner in her life.
And little did she, who was mired in negativism, know that this old man, this dear man, was thinking about the excellent worker, that he and his colleagues were now going to have in purchases.
But as a result of these thoughts, he realized a small detail, inform his new employee.
[What a mistake, what a mistake, how good I realized right now that I'm on my way,] thought manager Sou and then stopped short, followed by the sad Rin.
"Hey, you ..., umm now that we are, what's your name?" Asked the manager Sou now realizing that she didn't know her name either.
"This humble servant is named Rin Shi, dear sir."
"Fine, Rin, I think I still haven't told you anything about who I am or where we're going, or what you'll do," Manager Sou began explaining.
"True, it's simple, I'm the purchasing manager Gu Sou, and in short, I am welcoming you to work as an assistant in purchasing management."
These words, although the manager Sou did not know it, brought great relief to Rin's mind, who now knew that he was going to put her to work, but there were some doubts, why to her and what it was going to be exactly.

"So that you don't get lost, I'll tell you that I chose you because the previous one was a whore, reason more than enough to throw it away, and I hoped that you, in addition to doing a good job, wouldn't start flirting around there, that's all" Manager Sou finished explaining, to then immediately continue his tour with Rin behind him, now walking as if he had no weight on her, because of the relief he felt to receive this explanation.
And so with this relief, Rin, following the manager Sou, had arrived at the purchasing palace, a spacious place full of officials and some servants, who were either back and forth, or were sitting at a desk, but in the end, all-seeing the two arrive and pass, could not help but fix their gazes on them.
Some with surprise because their manager had brought a dirty beast, and others with disgust at seeing the beast, and of course Rin had noticed it, feeling total discomfort for this, but it turns out that her new boss was also aware of this so he did something about it.
As they both reached the center of everyone, the manager stopped to express the following in front of everyone with total impudence and dominance.
"Good to everyone, I see that everyone is surprised by this little guest."
"Well, get used to it, because she will be the new assistant to the management and I have faith that she is efficient and lasts a long time, so I don't want fabricated complaints from you, that's all."
And just as he silenced everyone in the room, he also silenced his management colleagues in the back room afterward, arrogantly kicking off Rin's working life in the purchasing palace.

# The Gemstone of Ominium 2 - Pain
Her unfazed expression didn’t even waver when the blade of her thin sword pierced one of the men all the way through armor, flesh and bone, a gurgling sound bubbling from his throat. With a kick she mercilessly pushed him back, freeing her blade, and glanced down at his dead body sprawled at her feet, confirming that death had indeed taken him. Stepping over the dead man’s body as if it were a mere pebble on her path, she raised her head just in time to see her second attacker lunge at her and, nimbly turning on her heels, she slit his throat. A spray of hot, sticky blood hit her left cheek and slid down her neck, but she didn’t even blink. The scent of the fresh blood filled her nostrils and her brain like an inebriating drug and she stepped forward once again, lightly turning to one side to avoid being decapitated and quickly returning the favor. One by one the men kept falling as she advanced, victims of her lethal, almost mechanical movements, as if she’d been born with a sword in hand and ready to kill …* This is a direct continuation of Book 1 - Denial. You CANNOT start reading Book 2 without reading Book 1, since the story won't make any sense! Enjoy ^_^*

New Paris [a Modern-day LitRPG]
New Paris [OR] I reincarnated into the world of my favorite wuxia novel as an S ranker with unbalanced skills. [Volume 1] - Completed I was one of those people who only stood out in a crowd when their name was called. Then, I died. But instead of heaven, hell, or anything else, I found myself in the body of a young woman whom I did not recognise at first. You see, I had this novel I was obsessed with. The novel was a fairly popular wuxia that got a few sequels, and a handful of spinoffs. One of these spinoffs took place in Paris, where the main cast fought against a multi-millionaire villain. When I woke up after dying, I eventually realised that I was now the third daughter of this multi-millionaire end-game boss in a spin-off of a sequel of my favourite novel. Does this make any sense to you? Because it doesn't to me. But I guess I might as well make the most of it now. Just gotta stay away from some of the more unstable main characters and cut all ties with my 'family' to avoid certain death. [Volume 2] - Currently Airing It had not been a good idea to interfere with the characters of the original novel. Had I known it was going to cause a butterfly effect, I would have stayed in my lane and minded my business. Although, between the suspicious attacks I seem to constantly find myself in the center of, and my 'family' who is the living definition of the expression 'rich pricks', I’m not entirely sure my current predicament would have been avoidable. But maybe it isn't to be avoided; maybe I should embrace this opportunity that has been given to me and become the hero of this story? At least it's certain that I can't do worse than the original protagonist in terms of moral ambiguity; with immortality already in my pocket, and no other useful skills to account for. However, if I were to follow this path, I would have a lot to lose, including an upcoming promotion and my growing relationship with my crush. With power, glory and whatever else on one side, and my wellbeing and happiness on the other, even in this magical wuxia world, the choice is easy to make. CW: graphic descriptions of violence, swearing, implied child abuse, mention and graphic description of suicide
