《System And Rebirth: Leveling Up In The Apocalypse!》Chapter Five: 『 Temper Acting Poison 』
Advertisement
Sunlight shone directly into Yun Xie's sleeping face. Everything looked ethereal inside the huge pink bedroom. The place holding peace and quietness was completely destroyed by an annoying robotic voice.
"Mistress! Mistress! Won't you wake up already?"
Yun Xie almost felt a crack between her brain ang her eardrums. Does the System plan to wake her up to death? Although annoyed, Yun Xie was reasonable enough to realize that she actually over slept.
"We have to conserve time, Mistress! I still have to introduce you to my things!"
Yun Xie silently nodded her head. She is a reasonable one but she is definitely not a morning person. "Quickly, let's get on it."
"But first, I still have to let you pick! Do you want me to assist you everytime you need something? For example, getting inside the dimension which I am going to teach you right now. Or you want a graphic user interface?"
The answer was simple. Yun Xie does not have the time and was lazy enough to always call the System. It is better to let it hibernate. "GUI." She answered while standing up. She walked towards the bathroom and started her morning routine.
Ah, from ten years, she did not feel this good! Taking showers, sleeping in a fluffy bed, and she's quite hungry right now.
"Please wait for 5 seconds."
Yun Xie did as the System said. She just continued her shower while waiting. Suddenly, icons from different sides of her sight popped out. They were translucent blue squares and the white line drawings inside them made the icons easier to tell its uses.
"Here, Mistress. This cart here is where the System Shop is. You can buy all the things you need or you want with Tier 1 Zombie Garnets."

Sensing Yun Xie's confused demeanor, the System explained.
"Zombie Garnets are a drop from zombies everytime Mistress kills them. This drop is only effective to Mistress as only Mistress has System*. The Zombie Garnets are separated in to three Tiers. Simply Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3. From Tier 1 to Tier 3, the Zombie Garnet will have its size from small to big."
(*System usually talks in Third Person's Point of View)
Yun Xie listened attentively to the System while still doing her morning routine. Changing her clothes, drying her hair, and such. The System continued its thorough explanation.
"The Tier 1 Zombie Garnet is what the System Shop uses as its currency and is the very common drop. Tier 2 is uncommon and its energy is very abundant, making it a useful material to craft for potions. However, Tier 3 is a rare garnet. You can only find one in tens and thousands of zombies. Tier 3 Zombie Garnet is used to exchange for the lower tiered garnets. For example, you can exchange a Tier 3 Zombie Garnet to 25 Tier 2 or 50 Tier 1 ZGs*."
(*Zombie Garnets)
After the System explained, Yun Xie was already going down the stairs. Butlers and maids scurried as they saw their Young Lady. Sitting in a long table with many delicacies and desserts in front, Yun Xie was drooling inside.
"Let me eat for a bit." Yun Xie said inside her mind, referring to the System. She did not hear any robotic voice after she stated her need.
Elegantly using the fork, the maids can't help but bulge their eyes out of their sockets because of their young lady's graceful demeanor while eating.
PING!
Yun Xie was surprised as she heard a 'ping' sound. After, a robotic voice was again heard. "System is sensing a 'Temper Acting Poison'* put in the ingredients of Mistress' food."

Temper Acting Poison?
"A Temper Acting Poison is not fatal to Mistress' health. But it does make Mistress rise her temper everytime Mistress gets mad or emotional." The System explained. Yun Xie's face was suddenly looking gloomy. Her defined features were dark as she seethed in irritation.
So this was why the past Yun Xie has a horrible temper! It was because of this Temper Acting Poison that was obviously put by the cooks!
Slamming the long wooden table, all maids and butlers turned their gazes to their young lady, their eyes filled with agitation and ridicule. Yun Xie squinted her eyes. No one here is her ally.
"Young Lady Yun Xie, is something the matter?" A maid in a pink maids' uniform bowed before she looked at Yun Xie. She(maid) was shocked to see the calmness in her(YX) eyes as Yun Xie was said to have a bad temper. The maid can't see a bad temper at all!
"Who cooked my food?" Yun Xie calmly stated. But all the people inside her mansion does not know about her boiling anger inside. They dare let her consume poison!
Confused, the maid responded. "Ah, it was Chef Zhang, Young Lady Yun." Without saying anything, after Yun Xie heard the name, she immediately left with the food in her hands. Looking at the awe-inspiring back of their Young Lady, the maid confusedly went back to her spot.
Inside the kitchen, hearty laughs were heard by Yun Xie. There, she saw two chefs flirting with each other. In a loud voice, she beamed, "Hello, Chef Zhang and Chef Ling!"
Shocked to her wits' end, Chef Zhang stilled with her face showing a horrified and awkward expression. Chef Ling, however, never really cared and looked at their Young Lady with disdain in his eyes.
"Wh-what's the matter, Young Lady Yun? Does the food I cooked not suit your tastes?" Chef Zhang with a smiling expression and a cold back awkwardly stated. The look in her eyes was worth watching for Yun Xie, as it was filled with embarassment.
Ha! An old woman like Chef Zhang still has the guts to flirt with a younger man? Truly cabbage*!
(*Cheap)
"No, your food was amazing! I just wanted to let you know, this Young Lady wants to practice cooking! Could you mentor me?" That's right. Yun Xie thought, during the apocalypse, she would only slay these people in front of her. So why not learn cooking? It's also best since if she knows how to cook, then she can make her own meal.
No more Temper Acting Poison to eat.

Extermination Order
So it turns out that anime got something right: If you get hit by a truck, you're going to another world. Dennis became subject to that unknown quirk of reality when crossing a busy city street (despite having looked both ways). But that was quite some years ago. He's been around this new world 'Nassur' a time or two and knows how to live a good life. He also knows that adventuring friggin sucks. So, what is a man to do in a fantasy world with a shoddy leveling system that constantly suggests getting more XP, and a condition set by the gods that you must make the world a better place? Pest extermination. But reality is often fickle. Perhaps one day it is only rats, another, mechanical centipedes with lasers. Maybe the Dark Lord needs a shoulder to cry on because his dungeon simply can't be ready in time for the adventurers he likes to do battle against. Another poor soul from Earth could appear just as dazed and confused as the day you'd first arrived, requiring a good long talk about 'hey, what the hell is this, man'. And maybe... just maybe, that thick book of owed favors comes back to haunt you. For a man who desires a peaceful, productive life, Dennis can find it rather difficult for a week to go by where something doesn't go awry. This series originally started on r/HFY, [Link] but I decided to post it here since people are so positive about it! Posting rate is, and likely will continue to be, rather inconsistent.

Dragon Travels
Dragons. Mythical creatures that inspire awe and wonder in cultures all across the world. Wouldn't it be amazing to befriend such majestic beasts and go on an adventure with them? To be a dragon rider and live through a tale of epic proportions? Ryder, who's so obsessed with the idea that he nicknamed himself as such, certainly thinks so. Sadly, he lived in a world where such creatures only exist in fiction, and one where none of his peers or family shared the same passionate interest in dragons like him. Every night, he would fantasize what it would be like to live in a world where they do exist, and one day, his fantasy became reality. Upon landing in a new world, he found himself in the company of cheery and naïve plant dragon who was just as excited as him to be the companion of a dragon rider. After that, they encountered a worldly earth dragon, who followed them under the guise of guiding them while hiding her own dark secrets. Lastly, regarded by many as The Terror of The East, a dragon so powerful and terrifying that it's known as a demigod, lowered his pride in order to escape his thousand-year prison and joined Ryder's merry band. It isn't all fun and games as the Goddess who brought the teenager here has sent him on a mission - to rid the evil forces that had risen in the world and threaten the balance of the realm. Together with his three dragon companions, Ryder traveled across different lands as he found himself involved in the matters of both tragic and entertainingly eccentric individuals. So, if you like How to Train Your Dragon or just dragons in general, isekai adventure stories, and/or a found family-esque story with witty banters and interesting characters, then this is what you're looking for! Note: This is an anthology series, therefore the arcs are not presented in a linear fashion. There will be recurring characters and arcs that continues story threads from previous "chapters", but, for the most part, each arc standalone as a complete story, so you can pick and choose what you want to read. If you watched Star Wars: The Clone Wars cartoon series before, it's basically like that.I'm still relatively new in writing, so I would appreciate it if you'll be kind enough to provide feedback!

Ode to Fallen Angels
Jericho, the land of humanity, squirms in pain. Magic has been forbidden for so long in this so called "Age of Silence", that all Arcane knowledge has been presumed lost and irrecoverable, and the echoes of God's Will grow fainter with every passing year. The sight of Demihuman caravans is less frequent every day, as the likes of orcs and elves have learned to no longer beg for help from those who despise them. Clearly, they can expect more from the voracious wild lands than from humankind. Many have succumbed to despair, some driven mad by their fruitless efforts to bring back a Golden Age that they only ever read about in books. And in the middle of it all, in an old chapel lost in the Eastern lands, young Gabrielle lives in complete ignorance. She is another orphan living under the mercy of the Church of the Saints; one bearing the mark of evil in her red hair, the telltale sign of a Witch. In an Age of the Silent, the Prejudiced, and the Hateful, she clings to a single hope: that one day, be it in life or maybe after it all ends, she may find herself forgiven of her sin. The sin of being born.
