Murim Recurve Chapter 145
Advertisement
Re'Kha continued to drive as she felt the struggles from her character increase. At first, it was tolerable. But now, it continued to increase to the extent the moment Re'Kha took a relaxing breath, her character would take control and would reverse the car.
And, this feeling was increasing constantly until it became unbearable. Still, Re'Kha was a trained veteran that was even able to control herself from shouting when she sustained a heavy injury. So, the time for which she was able to persist with the struggle was beyond what her character could do.
So, an hour later, the resistance from her character subsided. But, Re'Kha didn't let her guard down, for she knew her character was storing up strength to result in a powerful resistance that would throw her control over the body away.
In all her previous explorations, Re'Kha was busy trying to gather as many Prana Stones as possible during the allotted time. Moreover, it took considerable time to finish a quest. The case was the same for every other Harmoniser that they simply couldn't afford to research about Earth further.
But now, because of a difference in her case, Re'Kha had the opportunity to research about Earth further.
Her master's actions caused her to obtain the element of Wood and Wind. So, only when she had comprehended them both to 12 units would she be able to think about increasing the Elemental Qi in her. And, that would further have to wait until she comprehended all three elements to at least 14 or 15 units worth.
Only after then would entering Earth prove useful to her. So, until then, she had no use for Prana Stones. And that was a duration spanning seven years. It was a long time.
And at present, the goal of her visit to Earth was an experiment to determine if this would destroy her connection to the Blinded Ghost. The Prana Stones were just added bonus. She was just obliged to give one Prana Stone to the Vi Clan. Rest was hers to use.

And, this was only brought about because she had coincidently made use of her character's advantages to deal with Quests that were related to them. That way, she was able to quickly finish them.
She had appeared at 9:20 AM and had obtained 6 Prana Stones by 3:30 PM, in just 6 hours. It was insanely fast as compared to others, including her previous explorations. Re'Kha attributed it to both luck and her choice of action with respect to her character that resulted in this.
Now that she had enough time, she decided to visit the city where she had finished her first four explorations. Along the way, she stopped at a shop and bought enough food and water to last her a day.
She also bought a portable charger to keep her phone running. Re'Kha hummed a tune that played on the radio as she inserted her left hand into a bag of chips, took out one chip, and ate it. When she was halfway to her destination, she stopped at a petrol bunk and refilled her car.
She then continued to drive, trying her best to understand the difference between Earth and her world.
Soon, Re'Kha realised a startling fact, "There are no beasts in the wilds here. Even the animals are few and far between. And, they aren't even a threat to the humans here. The animals here pose a faint resemblance to the ones back home, but that's it."
She frowned as she gazed up, noticing a bright orange ball of fire amid some clouds, "And, the clouds are so thin here. The sunlight is clear and the sun is clearly visible."
This was odd to her because even during the Peak Fire Month, the sun wasn't visible in her world. The only difference was the increase in the temperature and the brightening of the place. But no matter what, a thick layer of clouds permanently existed above them.

Using the standards of Earth to measure, the layer of clouds was like a sea that existed two kilometres from the ground. And no matter which season, they never disappeared.
But on Earth, the clouds were both thick and thin. Moreover, most of them were individual clouds that were constantly on the move due to the wind and the changes in high-pressure and low-pressure weather on the land.
As she continued to drive the car, the sun slowly set. Re'Kha stopped the car along the side of the road as she gawked in shock at such a clear celestial phenomenon. She was used to the concept of daylight dimming until it was night. But, this was the first time she witnessed the massive ball of fire in the sky disappear behind the mountains.
Moreover, Re'Kha looked at the other side in the sky, noticing a whiteish-grey object present, emitting a gentle light that was getting brighter as the sun set. The moment she looked at it, a term automatically appeared in her mind, "The moon."
Her world didn't have a moon. Or, even if it existed, she hadn't ever heard about it. After all, their nights were pitch black without a radiance of light present. The only source of light was from the lanterns hung on the side of their streets.
Re'Kha leaned on her car as she glanced at the speeding vehicles on the road and the tremendous noise they produced. She was driving on a highway, so the frequency of the cars travelling on it was very less. There were at most one or two vehicles plying about every ten seconds.
"They are…fast." Re'Kha sighed in admiration from the bottom of her heart at the objects of convenience that allowed such high-speed travel, the concrete roads that allowed one to travel at high speeds with zero risks or discomfort, and finally, the modes of transportation that were relaxing to travel within and that transported a lot of people.
She saw a bus carrying more than forty people and still move at a tremendous speed. As Re'Kha sighed, it had become twilight as she noticed tiny glimmers in the sky. She was shocked, wondering if the sky was about to collapse on her when the logic stemming forth from her character calmed her.

Lesser Evil
In a perfect world, an alcoholic, hedonistic, mentally abusive individual like Audry Forge would never coincide with his attempts to stop the extinction of life. But there is no perfect world. There is no other person. Only the lesser of evils. Participant of the Royal Road Writathon challenge - 55k words Author's Note: This is story has been the easiest to write in my time of writing. I thoroughly enjoy it! You may not understand the premise in the first few chapters but need not worry buddy, I've been working ahead. Things will start rolling! I hope you enjoy it. Give me feedback and make sure to share it around! Other Info: Normally I wouldn't put any warnings but this story will be going down a pretty dark path (based on irl experiences) fairly early on. There will not be any overtly sexual content this early but some themes are suggestive. There is profanity. There are references to drugs and alcohol. There are dramatic relationships that I'm trying to base off of real life. There is more of a focus on characters. There will be unpleasant scenes in regards to death, while others will be brushed over. There will also be a fair amount of pop culture references too! Give it a try. You might like my form of storytelling!
