《Is this really luck?》Chapter 13 her situation and the others at school
Advertisement
This is Rachel here I shall skip all the embarrassing stories of our travels. I’m officially 2 years old and 3 months old. Living with aunty Seven and her war maidens. Actually what bugs me is this schedule they handed me.
3 year old training
Breakfast
Reading and writing 7am - 10 am
10:30am break
11:00am -1pm history
Lunch
2pm - 4pm laundry
5pm - 7pm languages lessons
Bath
8pm sleep
They said since my level was kinda high for a baby it’s great for training earlier than most. You know what I said wouldn’t a normal baby be crying at this.
“Oh but your a reincarnated person.” (Sasha)
Tch it’s older sister Sasha and Reina. Seven smiles at me holding a book in my hand. It’s the book on the continent itself, like so much more detailed than the game. I’m still made at Rin for choosing such a dangerous route too.
~ Time skip ~
I’m now age 10, let me say this these war maiden are battle manics. Even people on Earth knows the words limits and mental instability. So here I am laying on the ground half dead, Sasha gave me a pitying gaze.
“Now let’s see its so interesting that your body won’t age even after all that training. Though your a mage.” (Seven)
Why am I so glad to see Rin, oh I know because some bitch let loose me in the forest with some hungry man eating dragons. Like I know this is the dragon forest but the hell was that. You toss a 5 year old into that place and say survive. Sasha gave me a bitter smile as it was her weird creepy battle brained sister that did so. You know muscle brained powered. By the way Sasha is 6’5, platinum hair with gold strands at the tip. Though they say she’s also a Valkyrie she doesn’t seem like it since she’s always wearing a white dress, looks paler than a ghost. She gives you the ethereal feel of not being down to earth kinda feeling.
“Hey squirt it’s been a while since I last saw you.” (Rin)
“It’s been 8 fucking years of torment and you now pop up. Where the hell were you when they let loose 15 hungry dragons on me. Oh wait why the heck didn’t you tell me that as reborn as a baby my mentality and pace would get degraded.” (Rachel)
He chuckled at my predicament, oh it’s on I don’t care if your immortal but leaving me to suffer alone is a bad thing. I don’t care if my mentality is like a child right now but no one wants to be tormented alone by these war Valkyries who knows is how many centuries old. Their logic might’ve been long distorted. Well except Sasha who’s been looking out for me. I think she’s the only one that seems sane enough compared to the rest.
“Good news Rachel, your going to the academy for exams to enter.” (Seven)
Aunty Seven freaking teleported me out with Rin. I blinked in front of the huge black iron gates. Correction huge iron gate that extended around the whole school. Just wonderful mother should’ve told me she could’ve teleported me instead of made it get to know Rin on a tour around the world on the way to my own aunt.
By the way 3 years of torture or as they called it lessons on weapon usages. 2 years of herbs and poison uses, 1 year and 1 month of survival in the forest. That’s 6 years and 1 month, the other 2 years was let’s just say a mental pain in the way of assassination. All in all 8 years of suffering that inferno training schedule. Muscle heads are the worst to ask for advice especially when their geniuses in their own weapons. Like when Remel was teaching me archery and spells in water. That was annoying, like feel the flow it should be like that. Your like huh? What am I supposed to feel about this. Her explanations made no sense. Then there was Reina’s spear hellish training. Do note it was in a raging active volcano, if it wasn’t for aunty I’d be dead. Camellia was alchemy and poison lessons along with hidden weapons. Tina was chaos in itself, yes I said chaos due to the fact this meathead was a brute when it came to alll weaponry mastery.

Plus she was a battle junkie that was excited over fighting. Rather I stood there stunned but was nudged by Rin. Ah I might survive with this boy protecting me from the crazed jealous girls and magnet boys.
“You just thought something rude just now didn’t you.” (Rin)
“I did not.” (Rachel)
“Even though your called the Rose Empress of the Dragons in the assassin community.” (Rin)
I groaned that name was given to me due to me going battle crazy. Okay destroying a few buildings in the process was very uncalled and unprofessional for me as a assassin but I mean come on. It’s either get chased down or level the place. Okay I might’ve been panicking half the time. But seriously why the hell is my mission with bodyguards of rank S always there. If I didn’t know better my luck counts as weird there. After 3 times you think it’s no coincidences anymore. It makes me suspect if someone wanted me dead. Like rank S adventure on escort and there’s only 300 of them so far. After like 16 missions of assassination of evil noble men and having S rank adventures there who the heck wouldn’t panic I mean they can kill the current me.
I sighed as my eyes went back to the school gate but I fixed my knives into my boot. Which idiot doesn’t bring weapons in case someone wants to kidnap some noble’s kid or royals. Oh wait I count as one too, ugh life sucks for me.
3rd POV (intro to characters)
“Damn it all. So close.” (Timothy)
“Prince please calm your anger. The magic going haywire is not the maid’s fault.” (Loren)
“Shut it you damn butler transgender.” (Timothy)
His green eyes went to the effeminate boy in his butler suit but his girly face that can charm the same gender annoyed the blond prince to no end. This was the actual reason he avoided trying to get close to other boys when his butler was around. He fixed his blond hair as he stared at his perfectly tan skinned in happiness but looked at his magic circle in frustration. The maid on his left was his personal maid too a loli half elf that looks around 10 but she was actually 256 years old. Timothy felt more anger when he looked at her in annoyance. She was more of a problem to him due to her clumsiness. Her long blue hair seemed out of proportion as she cried on the ground apologizing to him.
“Ugh, my mass teleportation gone wrong due to her spilling tea into my magic circle. Damn this idiotic girl and her clumsy side.” (Timothy)
This was the first prince of the kingdom that Rachel was supposed to live in. The mad magician Timothy Hartright. Due to his personality his father denies having him use the family name. Also known as the narcissist prince. His butler is well known by men and most often mistakenly proposed to by them. (This is why the prince avoids having him around when he’s socializing with other guys.)
Inside the academy inside the training ground another person stood in front of the knights, her body in leather instead of armor like the rest of the knights. The lion general’s daughter (aka. supposedly villainess that the company scrapped instead of using her for the game.) Tina Graden. She is actually a dragon reborn into a human body. Her eyes narrowed as she dodged the charging armor knights with elegance. Tina coldly rolled her eyes when she saw the typical charge of one of the knights coming at her with his heavy lance.

Seeing this her eyes narrowed again, her wavy red haired glow lightly in the sun. This was his typical routine when he panicked, he charged at her for in a straight line with his lance like a bull charging a red color when enraged. Rather since she wasn’t holding anything all the other students winced when they heard her crack her knuckles in response as she glared at the boy.
“So you want to play crazed little boar again. I’ll gladly pummel this into you again to learn better than charge without thinking. Christopher, no, no you having the same name as the legendary General is a bad thing. Chri, I’ll pound it into your body what true fear is.” (Tina)
Upon seeing her with mist coming out of her mouth and her eyes turned golden the rest of the students ran for dear life while pitying their fellow student. He had pushed her switch again by charging towards her without thinking. They hid as far from her sight (their judgment not hers) as they watched her side step first. In middle of his stab with the lance, she grabbed the middle of it and smiled.
Christ knew he messed up when he saw that sinister yet innocent smile on her pale white skin. He felt a chill whenever he saw her rosy lips curled into a innocent smile. Rather he felt alarms ringing when he was picked up and thrown into the air while still holding onto his weapon.
“Lesson number 1: never let go of your weapon. Number 2: keep your eyes on your enemy at all times.” (Tina)
The other students winced when they saw her jump up herself and performed kicks at Christ who was still in mid air.
“Lesson number 3: NEVER let your guard down. Number 4: panicking can always kill you in battle. As for rule number 5: maintain a leveled head when fighting your opponent.” (Tina)
She had now landed softly on the ground as Christ landed with a thud on the ground crying in pain. But how can he not, she left dents in his heavy armor and he now had broken ribs. Tina rolled her eyes as he rolled on the ground crying like a baby. Rather she was annoyed at his act of charging whenever he was in a tight spot or panicking.
Not to far from her in the archery field, a long light blue haired boy hit his 3 target again on the bullseye. Making the girls scream at the side as they watched him. His white robe made his unblemished white skin stand out more.
“Oh my god, did you see that Jude is so elegant.” (Fan girl A)
“(Screams) Look he’s smiling at me.” (Fan girl B & C)
Jude Garden, the prime minister’s son waved but in his mind he loathed them. Instead he put on his fake smile at them since he loathed the fact they were here to get something from him. Just like the rest of the girls he dated they wanted his family name, his house and his father’s power. For once he wanted someone to understand him not just look at him being a fake playboy.
“Seeing as you my best friend is so frustrated. Ease up on the girls.” (George)
“Shut up.” (Jude)
The boy who put his hand on Jude’s shoulder had a well maintained body. A dark brown hair but he was the 2nd prince that was known to be perfect in every way. A gentleman to women and was always kind. Seeing him made Jude turn cold. Next to him was Glen, the commoner knight who worked his way up to be the royal guard. (This is the hero that Rachel actually wanted to control so she wouldn’t end up dead.) Glen clenched his fists as he glared at Jude and George. Rather he hated the nobles and the royals for making their commoner life miserable due to the selfish king. After hearing from his fellow guards the reason the King went to war years ago. He screamed in anger and rampaged in his room for hours.
‘That damn king taxed us 60% tax due to his extreme love for beautiful things and women.’ (Glen)
His handsome looks would make any girl drool as he looked coldly at the prince and Jude. The student uniform in black and white matched him. Glen’s white suit and black tie along with his black pants made the girls dazed. They squealed when he scoffed at them.
In the library Rio, the tiger beastmen squirmed like a small frighten animal due to his older twin sister’s glare. His brown hair and his ears twitched as he nervously fixed his collar as he tried to fix his book in his head. (It’s upside down due to how nervous he was at her.) Rather he knew why she had so much hatred though they lived in the same home. It was also the reason his mother hated him and his father. As a baby and a female born into the throne she was cast aside into a dark place and locked up most of her life. Aside from giving her food their father and the elders would throw beasts at her to fight to the death hoping that the latter would die. So that it wouldn’t endanger his fight for the throne.
“Are you enjoying that book.” (Rei)
He gulped as he looked at her emotionless face and her white hair. Rio didn’t say anything but he knew she hated him. She was after all 12 years old like him but was just a hour older. Her hatred didn’t seem to go down as she glared at him. Instead he knew why she hated him so much, it also annoyed her to no end how her mother fawned on her.
When he remembered how she yelled at their mother he felt only sadness. Due to the fact their father made her his guard.
“How are you my mother, what did you do when they left me to rot.” (Rei)
Rio saw the expression of his mother crying afterwards due to it he had to explain that she was mostly locked up away from getting close to Rei. That was on their father’s orders also when Rei heard Rio couldn’t forget how much anger he saw back then. Rather now he felt a chill go through him, how can a child the similar age as me have so much negative feelings. So much so that her emotions shows in the air so much. If it weren’t for her hatred towards my family she’d be a beauty.
Rei stood up and left the library into the hallway. Students passing by tried to flirt with her as they passed but she only gave them dulled look. Around campus she was known as the cold beauty Queen of the school. Her eyes went to the sun in the sky as she found a isolated spot.
“How much longer must I wait. When will you come to find me.” (Rei)
If anyone saw her like this they’d cry on the spot seeing the most well known beauty so sad. It looked like she’d die if left alone much like a abandoned dog that was loyal to its owner.
Mc POV
Ack, I came upon Rei singing. Yes the beauty can sing good, but if you want to know what she said about before that it was me. Yea I kinda promised her when I was out on mission when I was 7 years old I’d break her out later.
“A moon lit night, a scream is heard.
My feelings have gone from my body, yet here I am in this darkness.
Without family, friend or warmth.
Left for dead by the one they call family.
Being here yet unable to move.
Having emotions yet unable to do anything on my own.
Is this truly living.
Upon meeting you, you were my light in my path.
Helping me along as if it was fate.”
Ouch please don’t make it any more embarrassing. Just me happening on this scene is awkward for even me. Like ignore the fact that your saying it as if your missing your boyfriend or your second half. I’d ignore it except that time I told you my gender and I didn’t even hid my looks. Dear god Rei you idiot this is embarrassing to see you sing this so early in the morning. Like I’m here with Rin but he went to do paperwork with headmaster. This is very awkward for me but I know I have to make myself known. I slightly coughed to get her attention.
“Who’s there.” (Rei)
Her hand froze in the air as she she had almost punched at me. Actually her shocked look at seeing me makes me unsure if I did the right thing. She’s just a bit older than me but yet her depending look is getting to me.

8 157Balefire - A LitRPG Apocalypse
Mateo wasn't a fan of the blue sun. It froze the air dry, turned the trees around into popsicle sticks, and it had to bring with it a horde of monsters with faces not even a mother could love. Thrust into this world where nowhere was to be safe, maybe uncle Pedro's summer camp wasn't so bad after all. After getting a hold of some–ironically–fire magic, Mateo had all the tools he needed to get back to his family. He just had to learn how to not die first. New chapter posted everyday from Monday to Friday.
8 181The Only Survivor
I want revenge. However, to get revenge, I need information. And for information, I need answers. Yet to get answers, I need power. But for power, I need to survive. They made a grave mistake leaving me alive and locking me in a dungeon cell. They will live to regret it. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ This is a story in a fantasy world with lots of fantastical elements, including magic and cultivation. However, there's also some decent technology in this world. Gaining power has a system and nothing comes out of nowhere. Essentially, the setting and background is high fantasy but the focus will be whatever the MC sees, so expect more of a gritty realistic low fantasy most of the time. The MC is not OP and uses his wits and strategy to survive, and maybe even thrive. The warning tags are just there because I don't want any limits to where this story may lead me to writing. *I don't own the cover*
8 192The Shadow Paradigm - Book 1: Project Orb Weaver
Gardening, cooking, innovation, preservation, charity events... Madzistrale, Tom and Gabzryel does it all. But when they encounter the mysterious Shiakar Paradigm Society, a clash of paradigms ensues. Although both groups are aiming to make humanity stand stronger, their ideals and methods could not be further apart. Between the trio's optimistic yet naive ideals, and the SPS's tried-and-true surgical methods, determining the answer which methods can better humanity is a struggle that both parties must resolve in their own ways... Welcome to the 7th revision of my 10+ years ongoing novel trilogy. This revision took out some flawed plot concepts to re-introduce a more down-to-earth, film noir-like ambience, where a battle of wits is what will determine the outcome. It also added instead more in-depth expansion into the lives and mindsets of the characters, especially the heroes (a missing factor in older versions). Third-view limited storytelling was also introduced more prominently over my favoured third-view omnipotent, with each chapters concentrating as much as possible on a single character's point of view instead of head-hopping. So I shall begin uploading the chapters as I finish them; they're edited as much as I can, but there'll most likely be some typos and mistakes. As always, I welcome your comments and critiques, and I hope you enjoy reading that story as much as I did creating it! A parting poem to introduce the story (translated from its original French version): Credit: Les Mots, Mylene Farmer & Seal Firmly, the sky writhes When a mouth begets a death There, I will give my life to hear you To tell you the most tender words When all becomes all alone I'll break my life for a song And to lives that stoop to notice mine I know I will say goodbye But a fraction of this life I would give anything, anytime The universe has its mysteries Words are our lives You could kill a life with words Soul, how would it feel? If our lives are so fragile Words are mysteries Words of feelings Words of love, a temple If one swept the world away One could touch the universe I will tell you how the sun rose high We could with a word become one And for all those words that hurts us There are those that touches us Which illuminates, touches the infinity Even if nothingness exists For a fraction on this life We will give anything, anytime The universe has its mysteries Words are our lives We could kill a life with words Soul, how would it feel? If our lives are so fragile Words are mysteries Words of feelings Words of love, a temple
8 188The Tale of The Silver Souls
Have you ever felt that you don’t fit in or that you were meant for something else in your life other than what you already have? Well sorry to disappoint, but your answer is of no relevance whatsoever for this particular story, I was just wondering if you had ever felt something like that. No, this tale revolves around a certain girl who had something special. Something so extrodinary that gave her the opportunity to change her answer to that question. It all started by blowing out a couple of candles...
