This happened to one of my daughters. I have 4 children in total. 2 boys and 2 girls respectively. But the naughtiest one would be my eldest daughter, who is also my 2nd child.
One day as she was about to leave the house, i remind her,
"I want you to be home before 9pm"
"Yeah yeah i know that," my daughter replied as she left.
That night, i waited for her arrival. 9pm and then 10pm passed by but she's no where to be seen. I messaged her, i tried calling her. But she didnt reply to any of it. I kept on waiting for her until i actually fell asleep on the couch at my living room.
"THUD THUD THUD! MOTHER OPEN THE DOOR! MOTHER OPEN THE DOOR!"
I was awaken by the loud banging sound and my daughters cries outside the house. I looked at the time. It's already 1am!
"THUD THUD THUD! MOTHER OPEN THE DOOR! MOTHER OPEN THE DOOR!" she continuously banged on the front door.
This time all my other children had shown up near the door, wondering who the hell is banging on it loudly. I went to open the door. My daughter looks horrible. Her hair all messed up, her eyes starry and red and she was crying. I quickly grabbed her in.
"Dian, tell Mummy what happened to you," i said as i hold my daughter who was still shivering.
She just kept quiet..and while still crying, she said,
"Brother..please close the door..brother please close the door.."
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" my eldest son scolded her.
"Dont scold your sister and close the door. Go and get her a glass of water." i warned him.

I read some prayers into my hands and closed her eyes with my hands. After a few minutes, i asked her again what actually happened to her. She told us that she and her friends had gone to the infamous and haunted Old Changi Hospital for some adventure.
Upon returning home, when she was in the lift, she felt as if someone was breathing loudly behind her. She felt odd because she knew she was alone in the lift. So she turned to her back and saw..a woman with very long hair, squatting behind her and was breathing very heavily. My daughter panicked! She kept pressing the buttons and when the lift door opened, she climbed the stairs and ran for her life!
After that incident, whenever my daughter goes out, she would be home before 7pm. I guess its a good and bad thing at the same time. After all, my prayers has been heard. She finally stopped coming home so late.
Thank you.

The Many Blades of Wuxia
Hundreds of years after the Heretic wars ended, life has returned to its blissful ignorant state that only peace could bring. Whilst the never-ending war between Man, Beast and Mutant rages on, most are not even aware of a war that happened between men. Its prophecies shattered, their remnants surviving only in obscure bard tales. One is about to grow. On the cracked face of the world, Essence storms and Beast Waves keep the citizenry locked atop the Emperor city of Qaelang. Knowledge of the past is as rare as the metals that flow into the hands of Sacred Artists and at the root of it all are whispers of a malignant force, ancient and terrible. Holding humanity back from achieving greatness, but hiding too are secrets best left untouched. Balance, discipline and order have held Qaelang secure since time immemorial, the powers within claiming to adhere to them. None are more fearful of change than the ones with the most to lose, but change is coming. Blade of Wuxia is a long character-focused epic fantasy with progression and growth. It's about a boy's quest to become powerful enough to save those he cares most for and give them a better life. It's set in a world of hidden pasts and uncovering them will set him on a path that shakes the Empire. As this is a rewrite that took on a wildly different spin, reviews are most welcome and help me do better. What can the reader expect? A Wuxia society set in a High fantasy world. People are only doing what they know and may have mistaken beliefs. A clever resourceful protagonist with human flaws A far-reaching hidden fantasy world, rich in history. Multiple points of view are used to follow the story to its natural conclusions, not every NPC has all the answers, but there is one MC in this book. Progression will take time and sometimes even unknowingly. MC is not trained in the ways and knowledge must be tempered against experimentation. Release Schedule. 2 chapters a week, family and work permitting. Only if I'm happy with the chapter will I release it. That being said I am open to revision should an articulated critical response show merit. This story is not completed yet but I do have a general idea of what the end looks like for both MC's (yes both) Ultimately feedback will be most influential on the progression of release as it's you guys I'm looking to entertain. Expected Changes None really, I'm writing as I go and have a path planned for 6 books Chapter release rate might change if we take off and feedback starts flowing, but for now, it is just about making sure Arcs flow smoothly onto the next. Cover, yes absolutely! If there is enough interest I will open a Patreon account and use the first proceeds to commission an EPIC cover and hopefully a few scary artworks of our brave Cultivators and the foes they face.
