《Reborn in Tales of Demons and Gods》The Princess and the Prisoner 2
Advertisement
(Long Jian POV)
After being here for four years, the only thing I can say about the Abyss Prison Realm is that it's boring. One of the few interesting things here is the drama of Sikong Hongyue and Duan Jian's life.
At first, it looks like Hongyue wanted to have Duan Jian killed to avoid future problems but she couldn't bring herself to do it after thinking about what her family did to him. She spent the next couple of months sneaking into Duan Jian cell to help him however she can and try to convince him not to take revenge. Duan Jian being as stubborn as he is, is set on getting revenge for his parents and himself.
Because of how Hongyue treated him, Duan Jian couldn't bring himself to see her like the rest of her family so whenever they meet. Duan Jian also tries to persuade Hongyue to leave so he doesn't have to hurt her if he gains enough power.
As more time pass, they couldn't convince each other so their meeting slowly changes from trying to convince each other to talks about their lives. Since Duan Jian is trap in a cell, most of the time it's just Hongyue talking about herself and things that can be found outside.
Like a sappy love story, they grow closer every time they met and by the end of the first year, Duan Jian started to develop feelings for Hongyue. Since Hongyue is the only person who cares for him, it not a surprise that he fell for her. The surprising thing is that Hongyue also started to develop some feelings Duan Jian by the end of the second year.
They start to look forward to their meeting more and Hongyue stays longer every time she visits him. This causes them to be a little careless and almost got them caught numerous times. If it wasn't for me helping them, Hongyue would've been caught and Duan Jian would most likely be executed.
After spying on Hongyue for a while,(A/N: *cough* stalker) I found out the reason she started to have feelings for Duan Jian is that her father started to pressure her to train more and is taking away the things she enjoys so she won't be 'distracted.' Talking with Duan Jian is one of the few things she can actually doing without worrying about her father's expectation since her father doesn't know about their meetings.

Hongyue is the first one of the two to realize that she liked him due to her having more experience and people to talk to. It wasn't until near the end of the third year that Duan Jian figure out that he liked her from one of their talks. They didn't tell each other how they feel because of their circumstances.
By the fourth years, they're practically a couple besides the fact that they haven't tell each other their feelings. They look so cute trying to hide their feelings from each other that I almost want to pop in to tease them. Also due to the fact that they are trying so hard to hide their own feelings, they haven't noticed the other person's feelings yet. Every time they meet, it feels like I'm watching a love comedy.
During the time I was watching them, I also made sure to stop the Silver Winged Family from torturing Duan Jian. I set up a simple illusion array that makes the Silver Winged Family believe that they already tortured Duan Jian enough for the day every time they decide to torture him.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that Duan Jian is 16 and Hongyue is 15, Duan Jian already reaches Legend rank 3 and Hongyue reach Legend rank 2. Duan Jian kept delaying his revenge because of his feelings for Hongyue.
Hongyue finally notices Duan Jian's real cultivation rank so she starts to pay more attention than usual to Duan Jian. She's neither dumb or dense so without her feelings clouding her, she found out that the reason Duan Jian didn't start his revenge already is because he liked her.
I watch Hongyue argue with herself for a week before she finally comes to a decision. She decided to tell Duan Jian her feelings. In the end, she hopes that she can get Duan Jian to stop his revenge and run away with her. She figures that this is the best outcome she can hope for. She gets to stay with the person she fell for and her family isn't put in danger.

As Hongyue made her way to Duan Jian's cell, I decide that this is a good time to appear in front of them again. After a tearful confession made by Hongyue but before she can ask Duan Jian to run away with her, I appear in front of them again.
"How come every time I met you, it's with a girl crying," I said surprising them both. Duan Jian instinctively moves Hongyue behind him to protect her. I don't think he knows how strong she really is.
"Who are you?!" Duan Jian asks warily. If I didn't know that he's a prisoner, I'll have probably thought he's a knight trying to protect his princess.
"I thought I already told you it's not nice to make a girl cry."
Duan Jian eyes open wide in realization, "Benefactor!"
It just occurs to me that I never told them my name. "Don't call me Benefactor, it sounds weird. You can call me Master instead. I did teach you your cultivation technique after all."
"So, what's the problem this time. Why are you making the girl cry again?" I ask him instead of answering. They both went red remembering what they were talking about. Hongyue hides her face behind Duan Jian not willing to look out.
"Ahh! I see, young love. Hehe, you must be quite good to make such a pretty miss fall for you." I tease them making their face even redder.
Duan Jian calm down first, he ask "What is Master doing here? I thought I wouldn't see you again until after… " Duan Jian stop.
"Your revenge?" I asked. Duan Jian looks like he doesn't want to but he still nods. "That's why I'm here. I'm here to offer you another choice."
"Another choice?" Duan Jian
"Yes. The first is, I can take you and whoever you want away from here. You'll never have to worry about the people here coming after you because they'll never be able to find you."
When Hongyue heard me, she quickly comes out from behind Duan Jian, "Duan Jian please take it. If you do I'll do whatever you want." She wanted to take this chance to go with Duan Jian without having to worry about her family.
Duan Jian looks conflicted for a while before finally asking "What's the second choice?"
"I can help set up a fight between you and Sikong Yi. He's should be the target of your revenge right?" Duan Jian nodded "If you win, Hongyue will be left without parents and the Silver Winged Family will be left without protection. The people that were angry because of the Silver Winged family will come here for revenge and the fate of the people here might end up worse than yours."
After hearing the effect of what his action can cause, Duan Jian doesn't know what to do. On one hand, he still wants revenge, not so much for himself anymore but for his parents that were killed. On the other hand, he wanted to stay with Hongyue but he couldn't let go of his revenge.
It wasn't just Duan Jian that were conflicted, Hongyue was too. On one side, is her father while on the other is the person she loves. She knows that if she helps father and I didn't stop her, it can end up with Duan Jian being killed while if she helps Duan Jian, she'll be betraying her father.
After struggling for a while Duan Jian finally shows a resolute face and reply with…

This is a kingdom building story with litrpg elements. Litrpg works well when we talk about single character focused story. But in my story MC eventually going to lead his troops against other people. So I invented something called the tier system. It is similar to the grading system other game light story's use but with much more clear and understandable rules, also uses a very simplified stats system. When you hear someone's tier you could easily understand what to expect. MC is a crafty guy, he usually uses tricks and shady tactics instead of brute force to achieve his goals. He gets ailed with unsavory humans to reaching his aims. So MC going to have a lot of dealings with society's criminal underbelly. I warn you, my English is miserably bad. If you seeking a kingdom building story with a crafty villainous lead who outsmarts his enemies you are in the right place. If you seek something written by someone competent in English please pass this story and please just don't write a review.

On that day, humanity received their greatest tool in combating this threat: the Slayer System.

Decades after, Alexander Shen lives in Ordo, the Slayer Capital of the world, months away from graduating at his university. Although uncertain about his future, he wishes for nothing but a normal life for himself and his younger sister. However, as another disaster strikes, finding himself in the throes of catastrophe (once again), he realizes that the stars have other plans for him. Having his normal life snatched away from him, he is determined to fight, even if it means shooting down the stars.
