Reyn said nothing but just quietly climbed onto his bed, falling asleep.The next morning, I sat up, yawned, and stretched as usual.Reyn just sat silently, staring at me."Zale, where is Zale?" I asked, standing up.I lifted a robe, and one by one, each robe I kept on the bed met the floor instead. I lifted a jar, then a bowl. I kept lifting things while calling, "Zale."What's that noise so early in the morning, host? Can't I have my beauty sleep? the System chimed in."I can't find Zale," I said, sounding panicked and scared.Ask that fox.It went silent again, and I paused slowly, turning to Reyn."Reyn," I gritted, my spine straightening, my hand flying to my waist. "Where is Zale?""He left," he said dryly, not daring to look at my eyes."He left?" I repeated, scoffing. He should have said that earlier.I slowly turned to face the mess I created on the bed.Now who will arrange this? My lips kept trembling, and my eyes flicked shut in a desperate attempt to keep the tears in, bu

"How dare you," he growled. "How dare me?" I thought in my mind. I kept clawing at his hand on my neck. "You—" I— my voice was restricted by his hand. Danger Detected. Host. Current survival rate: 0.2% (slowly dropping)My heartbeat pounded against my ears, even my fingers had gone numb.I couldn't even swallow.I tried looking around for help, but my head was locked in place and it was clear I had been abandoned “Zale” Riven’s angry voice came from the side, my eyes flickered shut, and my legs and hands went limp. I rolled my eyes to the back of my head, staying still. “Drop her down now” He added voice dead cold, his wolf ears twitching,and claws standing out of his fingers, his tail kept swishing from one side to another behind him as he moved forward." "The so-called Zale's scales glimmered rising, his whole left hand were full of the same blue scales." "Stay away from this," he growled, his grip on my neck tightening."Why should I? She is our step-sister,"Riven

Host: Am back. Oh almost dead as expected. Current sp : 15 Swapped for oxygen and swimming skills.Air filled my lungs as I regained my balance in water. Hurry up, host! She’s gonna die at this rate. I completely ignored the system, swimming faster. The path ahead became clearer as my eyes adjusted to the darkness. But the current kept dragging me back,They in a distance was Calissi, floating. She turned to me and froze. She didn’t swim forward, neither did she move back. But what caught my attention was the glowing string of beads in her hand. I swam to her, taking her in my arms and swimming to the surface. I pause, dragging in enough air into my lungs first. And I could feel little Calissi do same, her belly swelled against my chest and relaxed Slowly, I swam toward land, taking my time and letting my arms relax. Elara squatted at the edge of the river,head resting on her knees, her shoulders were trembling and I could hear gentle sobs from the distance. I felt the sink

I immediately threw the paper away when the entrance to the hut opened up. Stupid decision, I know. Reyn popped his head from behind the door. “You seem to be enjoying it out here,” he commented snugly and chuckled, my face scrunching in annoyance. “Why don’t you come join me?” I pushed the door wider and stepped in. My back ached from standing and squatting for several hours, but I still managed to get onto the wooden bed. It creaked softly as my weight landed on it. ------“Isn’t she cute?” “No, she’s wicked and rude,” a child’s voice sounded with clear annoyance. I stirred awake slowly, sitting up and rubbing my eyes. My hands flew upward above my head in a stretch, my jaw relaxed, prying my lips open. A fly flew straight into my mouth suddenly, and I violently tried to cough it out, but it was stuck deep down in my throat.My eyelids flicked shut and I hesitantly swallowed the insect down my throat. The girl by my side chuckled, my head turned to the side and sitting on

"What just happened," I mumbled, standing up. "Serena, are you okay?" Reyn rushed over and grabbed my shoulders, turning me this way and that as though checking for injuries. "Hey! Stop that, you are making me dizzy," I groaned, pushing his hand away. He cleared his throat and stepped back, fidgeting with his robe. My pupils rolled to the other end of my eyes and back. "Why did you do that?" he asked, voice calm and steady. My fingers rubbed the back of my neck, my eyes looking anywhere but him. "I don't know," I muttered. "Please....You have to believe me" I moved a step forward but he shifted back. My throat tightened,something heavy settled inside my chest,tears burned behind my eyes threatening to roll down any moment. Why does it hurt that he doesn't trust me? "Reyn," my voice trembled, but he only took another step back. This time my legs wobbled, but I wasn't about to give up defending myself. Then my gaze stopped at the bracelet resting harmlessly on my w

My eyelids felt unusually heavy. My head throbbed. The first thing I noticed wasn't the room. It was the smell herbs,fresh clay and burnt wood. "...Not my room"I opened my eyes again, but I was in a different room. Surrounded by piercing gaze, I forced my frail body up, looking around. Elara rushed to my side, squatting. She took my hand in hers. “Sis, are you okay?” She asked, her voice sounding worried. “Yes, I am,” I threw her hand away and she fell back. Riven immediately stepped forward, catching her. Quietly mumbling a “Careful” to her before looking up at me with that usual cold gaze. I rolled my eyes, standing up. “Is she a paper or what? A light push and she went flying,” I scoffed. Elara rubbed her wrist. Yet instead of getting angry... She smiled. "...I'm just glad you're awake." I looked up. Reyn was staring at me, disappointment written all over his face. “What? I didn’t kill someone,” I took a step forward and images flooded my brain agai
