《MYTHICAL DESCENDANT: Married to Mr. Fox》Chapter 3: BROKEN HEARTED
Advertisement
Aubrey looked at Ember with a thousand questions. She wanted to speak, but a customer came. Aubrey walked towards the customer. Aubrey welcomed the customer with a cheerful smile. "Welcome to the florist shop. How can I help you?"
Ember took the watering can and watered the flowers to keep them fresh, and another customer came to their shop.
"Welcome to the florist shop. How can I help you?" Ember greets the next customer.
They are busy serving customers who come until lunchtime. During lunch, they close the shop. Aubrey approached Ember and continued her question.
"Ember, did you accept their marriage proposal?"
"Of course not. I will not cheat on Zane."
"But he never proposed to you." Aubrey murmured.
"Pardon?"
"Nothing. Let's eat. I'm hungry." Aubrey changed their topic of conversation because she didn't want Ember to feel offended.
At the villa, Xander receives a call from Camilla. After he received the call, Xander went to find Jayden, who was sitting on the balcony of the villa.
"Master, your mother asked, Are you going back for dinner today?"
"Yes, we're leaving this evening."
In the evening, it's time for Ember and Aubrey to close their shop.
"Did you go home straight away?"
"No, I want to go to Zane's apartment." Ember responded, with a happy reaction, because she couldn't wait to see Zane.
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Aubrey waved her hand and left.
Ember hails a taxi and goes to the apartment of her boyfriend, Zane. Ember gets into the elevator and goes to the 23rd floor. After reaching the 23rd floor, Ember walks to Zane's apartment. Ember wants to ring the bell, but she sees that the door is not closed tightly. Ember opened the door and went inside, but nobody was there. She felt weird because nobody was inside but the door was not locked. She wanted to step out, but she heard a voice. She walked towards the voice, and she heard the voice of a woman moaning inside the room. She felt uneasy and opened the door.

She was shocked to see her boyfriend, Zane, with a woman with orange hair, shoulder-length with bluish eyes, on bed. Zane has short hair, caramel hair, and dark brown eyes. They didn't realise Ember was there watching them.
"Zane! What are you doing?" Ember shouted. She was really angry. They were both startled and looked towards the door. It shocked Zane to see Ember. His face turned pale. The orange-haired woman was covering her naked body with a blanket.
"Ember, w-what are you doing here?" Zane was confused and shocked to see Ember inside his apartment.
"Zane, answer my question. You're cheating! You're making love with another woman. You're so cruel. Today, our relationship It's over!" Ember felt disappointed, and she hurriedly left the apartment with a broken heart.
"Ember, Ember?" Zane calls her name. Zane tries to follow Ember, but the orange-haired woman pulls Zane's hand away. The woman shows a sulking expression on her face if Zane chases Ember. Zane didn't want the woman to sulk, so he stayed with her instead.
It was a rainy day, but Ember ran and cried in the rain out of frustration. For five years, they were in relationships, but everything scattered like a mirror. What sin have I committed? Why have I been treated this way? Do I have the same fate as my father? Is this my fate? I want to be loved by someone; not only my father's love but love from a man I want to spend my life with. Ember's mind is full of confusion, and tears never stop flowing down her cheeks. Simultaneously, Jayden, who was in the car, and Ember, who was running, passed by each other.
She arrived at her apartment. Ember was running towards her room with her soaking wet clothes while crying and lying on the bed. It startled Damian to see Ember. He went to see Ember and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Ember, what happened to you? Why are you crying?" Damian was worried. Ember sat down and hugged her father.
"Papa, Zane cheated. He had another woman." She cried out loud. She felt devastated. Damian frowned after hearing Ember's words. He was also shocked.
"It's okay, Ember, you still have papa. Don't be too sad, okay?" Damian tries to persuade Ember. He can feel Ember's sadness.
"Papa, what have I done? Why am I treated this way?
"You've done nothing, my child. He was blind. He'll regret it."
"Am I to bear the same fate as you? Just like my mama did to you?" Damian's facial expression changed after he heard Ember's words.
"Ember, different people, different fates. Don't compare yourself to others. I think this is better now that you know the truth, before he became your husband. Because you can still change your fate." Ember still couldn't think rationally. Was this good for her or bad for her? because she was still shocked and broken-hearted.
Damian noticed that Ember was soaking wet. Damian held Ember's shoulder and said, "Ember, you're soaking wet. Go take a shower and change your clothes. You could get sick."
Ember looked at Damian with tears in her eyes. She wiped her tears and nodded, and after that, Damian left Ember alone. He wanted to give Ember some space to calm herself.
The next day, she felt her whole body ache. She touched her forehead. She felt hot. When Ember had a fever, she just laid down and did not leave the room. Damian enters Ember's room because he is worried that Ember has not left the room. Damian came in and saw Ember still lying. Damian had the instinct that Ember was sick, and he touched her forehead and felt her forehead get hot. Damian took a wet cloth and placed it on Ember's forehead.
Damian goes to the kitchen and cooks porridge for Ember. He looked at the clock, which was already showing 8:40 a.m. Damian had to leave Ember alone. Before he left, he called Aubrey to tell her Ember was ill.
At 9.20 a.m., Aubrey arrived at Ember's apartment. She opened the door of Ember's apartment and hurried into her room, where she saw Ember still lying, sleeping. She changed Ember's wet towel and waited for her to wake up from her sleep. After a few hours, Ember woke up. She opened her eyes slowly.
"Ember, do you feel a little better?" Aubrey asked, with a worried expression on her face. Ember didn't say anything, she just nodded her head.
"You have to eat something. After eating, you have to take medicine."
Aubrey stood up, went to the kitchen, and took the porridge to Ember in her bedroom. Ember sat down on the bed and ate her porridge.
"Zane cheated on me." She told Aubrey, with a solemn expression.
"What? How do you know?" Aubrey was shocked after hearing Ember's words.
"Yesterday I went to his apartment. He was with a woman in bed."
"That's why all this time he never proposed to you. For five years, you were together, but he never proposed to you. I will kill him if I see him." Aubrey felt she wanted to slap Zane on the face if she met him.
"All this time, I thought true love existed, but it was all just a fairy tale." Ember's tears began to fall down her cheek. Aubrey started worrying when she saw Ember crying, and she took Ember's hand in her and said, "Forget the man; that bastard is not worthy of you. I believe there's a man who will love you with sincerity."

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.
