《Doomed to be a Cannon Fodder》03

...
The rooster crowed for the umpteenth time today.
I tried to strangle it for the umpteenth time as well.
...
The countryside is so boring.
If I knew, I would have opted for the mountain mansion instead.
At least there was a hot spring over there.
Here, the only accompaniment was Granny Chai and the roosters.
But sigh....
Men are truly greedy creatures.
I patted myself reassuringly.
At least my life was still safe.
At this time, Yang Ran in the novel was dead from the schemes of his evil wife.
But me, this coward, has escaped with my life!
I patted my chest again.
This time, I am free and alive!
Celibate and wholesome, my motto for today.
But maybe....
After I kill that damn rooster.

"Master!"
"Hmm?"
I turned around from my idle life of irritating the pigs in the household.
"The Zhao Prince!"
"The Zhao Prince is here!"
The stick in my hand fell.
What was cousin doing here?
***
I hurriedly ran to the hall, hands quickly dusting the dirt and mud off my hands and an ingratiang smile plastered on my face.
A handsome figure sitting erect on the main chair seemed to be patiently waiting.
I crept up to him and pretended to stumble slightly in haste at the doorway to show how enthusiastic I am at his arrival.
"C-cousin! Why are you here?"
I went over with a sweet smile, flatteringly passing a cup of tea to the grim-looking Prince.
I stared at the iceberg before me coldly drinking tea, my mind stirring greatly at what could possibly have happened for him to come to this godforsaken place.
The sudden clink of the teacup meeting the table awoken me from my thoughts.
"Younger Cousin."
Ingratiating smile plastered on my face.
My cousin looked at me coldly.
Ever since young, this cousin of mine had this habit of looking infuriatingly arrogant, befitting of a prince.
But to be honest, I don't get why a paralysed looking face was so attractive to females.
"What did you do to the young Miss He?"
Hmm?
Here, my icerberg cousin seemed to have blackened totally.
"Why does she insist to see you again?"

Life of a Core
After a disembodied voice had told him he was what amounted to an exceptionally talented rock, it had been hard to not let it go to his non-existent head. Until, random chance had decided to give him a square kick in the minerals. Which had in turn forced him to fend for himself in an unknown land, all while he attempted to make sense of his place in the world. Truthfully though, all he had really wanted to do from the start had been to bury himself a hundred feet below the ground and be left to his own devices. Yet, for one reason or another, nobody ever seemed willing to leave the dungeon-building core alone long enough to actually make one. Each chapter will average around two to three thousand words, the release schedule is still a WIP but you should expect the first six chapters to be released over the next six days. This is planned out as a dungeon building fiction, but don't expect it right off the bat! The story is a depiction of the everyday adventures (alongside an overarching plot) of what I imagine a dungeon core would experience when thrust into a random environment where everything and everyone tried to covet or eat him. I also really enjoy reading the comments and reviews people leave and would love to get some reader involvement with the story itself, likely through polls at the end of each chapter. I hope you enjoy my story! (If you feel like some of the characters seem familiar, you may have read some older work I wrote a while back under a different account. If you happen to be one of my old readers and recognize the similarities, I'm happy to have you back!)
