《Reborn as a Symbiote》Chapter 25
Advertisement
The day of the celebration was decided to be one week later after Yao Zi recover, because they wanted to have enough time to show their newfound wealth and power. Also because they wanted to make sure that this time, they would be prepare for any situation that rises up so the same mistake would not happen again. Yao guards were checking every single corner and area surrounding the clan, servants was always working diligently and on the lookout for any suspicious activities, and clansmen were working with extra effort in their work. Some of the clansmen would be handling the Yao clan businesses, the clan information gathering administration rework from the bottom up, and all of the fighting force not on duty would train extra hard.
The formation given to the Yao Clan Matriarch had shown an immediate boon as the Ki energy in the area was enhance in both quantity and quality by three folds eclipsing even some of the peak middle size sect in the continent. As even the highest rank sect in the Solaris Kingdom which the Sunrise city was in was just a middle size sect. Though that was just the out area of the Yao clan complex that others were able to tell the change in Ki energy. What they don't know that inside the Yao complex builds, the formation was able to concentrate the amount of Ki to focus in a small size building. This application of the formation brought so much new ideas to the Yao Matriarch, as they could raise a new force that will be stronger than before. The only thing they needed was time, and one of her goal was to use the celebration. To build up her connection to those near and far, and maybe even have a few alliances made.

Meanwhile after having a few days of Yao Bai greedily taking up Yao Zi times to play around. It was at Yao Shi suggestion that Yao Zi start learning about how to cultivate, as her recovery had delayed it long enough. Yao Shi proclaim that as the best way to protect your love ones, was making sure they had the strength to do so on their own. Shutting down her husband tearful eyes who was still trying to beg Yao Shi to let him spend more time with his granddaughter. Yao Shi could only relent after a full hour of seeing an old man on the ground grabbing onto her leg crying out loud as if he has been severely mistreated. Though she made him promise to prioritize focusing on his own cultivation level too when allowed to have some time to spend with her granddaughter within Yao Zi's learning schedules.
Yao Zi's learning schedule would then have a few tutor classes from Yao Shi for a few weeks to learn the basic of cultivating before being sent to the Yao Clan's training ground to learn with other children a few years older than her. As to give her both some experience of interacting with those not in her immediate clans only. A flower raised indoor in a safe environment would not survive long outside that is ever changing with no mercy shown to the weak. Yao Zi was then inform that her education would begin tomorrow, giving her the rest of the day off. Also her grandpa was apparently busy today and couldn't play with her, who was also seen dragged away by Grand Elder Yao Shi.
Yao Zi's Room
Though she does not mean to learn it, Yao Zi was able to hide some of the depression on her mind while smiling outside. As she was the little girl of the Yao Matriarch and granddaughter of the Grand Elders, there was not many places she could not go to. Because of that she would also go around exploring the new Yao Complex blessed by Shimmy, which cause her to overhear some servants talking. Yao Zi wandering around was to make her remember that she was no longer confine to a bedroom and be fed with all kinds of bitter concoctions to heal her. In the end lead her to hearing how the Chen Clan Alliance attacked the Yao Clan. Many people got hurt, many of them did not even survive. Few of the servants escaped death but were full of injuries while being chased like an animal. Yao Zi then heard some word that they were attack because the Clan strongest fighter Grand Elder Yao Bai was seen severely injured, missing half his arm, falling down after passing the flower that held Shimmy to her mom. Then also for her mom the Yao Matriarch always depress from seeing her ill, she was not able to do her job as a clan leader should. Not only that, the Yao clan resource was all being run down to make Yao Zi healthy again. She heard it not just once, but several times while exploring the complex.

A green blob then manifest itself with a green string attach to one of Yao Zi's finger. Soon two black slits appear on its jiggly green body turning towards to look at her.
"It’s not your fault" Shimmy was also listening there. He did not stop her from listening in on the servants because he knew that sooner or later, she would hear it anyway. Especially since the relationship between the two was not equal too, as Yao Zi was in the dominant one in it. Yao Zi could literally control or even see most of Shimmy's status, luckily, he was able to limit it to Symbiote status specific information only. Leaving his own gain skills and passive to his green glimmering gooey eyes.
"Buh, isf mah falt sniff, every wahn got hurst sniff" Tears already dropping down on the swollen cheek on her face as she had ran back to her room. The realization that people got hurt because of her was guilt inducing, but even more was her family had been hurt squeeze her tiny heart more. The reason her grandpa Bai and grandma Shi was fighting with bloody faces was etched into her mind was because of her. The best mom in the world who would always show up to take care of her, her mom was beaten down into a blood pulp with a boot nearly crushing at her face was scarred into her young mind.

Sweetleaf Cultivation
If you’re reading this. Not cool Dude! Or Dudette. Hashtag Resist. Seriously though, it’s not nice to read other people's diaries. Yes, it's a diary, kind of. The only men who call their diaries journals have an issue with their own masculinity I think. Well, I guess I can’t be too angry, considering if this is in anyone else’s hands I’m probably dead. Or I lost it. I lose stuff a lot. Since you’re here, regardless of the reason, I guess I’ll tell my story, such as it is. I know, why tell my story when I could tell you about the Fall of Killianor, or the story of when Micha the Bold banded together with his underdog group of misfits to destroy the Pallantine Regime. Hell, even the tale of Tulsa and Gran’s star crossed love affair would probably be better. If you don’t think so after finishing this you more than likely have poor taste. Weird taste, at any rate. Hello RR! Welcome to the greatest work of fiction you will ever read! ... .... Did you believe that? Cause its not. At all. This is my first work that I will have published in any fashion, and to be completely honest is more to gain practice for my real story. That is not to say I do not care about it. I do. I will do my best to finish it in, if not satisying, at least a conclusive manner. I will warn you however that updates will be infrequent at best though chapter length will not be under 2000 words. I work third shift currently, and at over 40 hours a week I do not have much time to really devote to this at the moment. I DO have an outline for the novel complete, but currently only about 5 actual chapters written and edited. There will be mistakes, including grammar and continuity, plot holes, etc.. If you see these please either comment or feel free to message me directly, and I will get it updated asap. Aside from a fledgeling authors mishaps, expect to find a somewhat comedic slice of life, with a mish mash of xianxia and western fantasy themes, tropes and the like. There will be some gore, network tv levels of sexuality, and absolutely no harems. There will also be COPIUS amount of swearing and drug use and while I said there would be no harems already he may find people in polyamorous situations. I hope you enjoy this, and as a last aside I beg of you not to rate it super low without justification, and if you give a bad rating please leave an actual review so that i know what I need to work on. *Original cover as of 09/01/20. Mishmash of stock photos and edits. HAVE FUN!

Blind Wastelands
[Royal Writathon April 2022 winner] (Support me on Patreon ) They say it was a war that blocked out the sun. They say it was poison bombs that reduced the land to rubble. The blind wastelands were what it was called now. Where there were once sprawling cities, farmlands, and crops that grew in the sun, sparkling waters that shone like diamonds, there was now darkness; a cloying, viscous darkness that filled men’s hearts with dread and sunk their bellies like stone. What remained of humanity scattered away from the darkness as much as they could, banding together in settlements lit with gas lamps and bonfires. A young man named Yunkef leaves his home at Settlement 41 to join a Scavenger team to bring back much-needed resources for his Settlement but finds there are much worse things in the darkness than just the beasts. He meets Lady Black.

Yin-Yang
Mages in North America seem to have it all – typically from well-off families, and able to manipulate their environment in ways most of the world would never believe. They don’t even have to bother with the mundane details of life like housework, thanks to their sensitives, who also make a useful source for extra magical energy. After all, sensitives have no use for it themselves, and if mages weren’t meant to make use of it, then the sensitives would obviously have some way to prevent that. That a mage can transform a sensitive physically, with no restrictions beyond overall mass and basic biological viability, whereas magic tends not to work directly on any other living thing, is only further proof. And look at the way they live on their own, barely a step above animals. It’s better for them to belong to a mage. Sensitives in North America live on the edge of society and survival – typically so paranoid they avoid hospitals and anything else that could lead to being tracked, many of them with little or no education and no legal identity or existence. Mages exist, and mages want sensitives for some reason, but no one ever comes back to explain what that reason is. Waiting every day for the hunters to notice them doesn’t lead to much motivation or hope for the future. And once they’re captured, they’re the property of someone with a terrifying amount of power over them. Anything is better than capture. Mages are born to be the masters, and sensitives are born victims. Or are they? Jax’s life is turned upside-down when he’s caught by the hunters and sold to a mage. Andreas is still mourning for his previous sensitive, though, unconsciously creating a difficult standard for Jax to live up to, all the more so while still struggling to come to terms with this new reality as Andreas’ sensitive. A runaway sensitive isn’t what Van expects at the mental health centre. Is this a hunter trap, set for him and the rest of the Donovan family by the hunters? The hunters would, after all, love to see them cross the line openly and finally do something they can be charged with. Either way, Miranda’s genuinely in trouble, and he can’t just abandon her to it. Snatching a sensitive out from under the hunters and hiding her is odd behaviour for a mage – but then, Catherine is an odd mage, living in disgrace in the old servants’ quarters of her grandmother’s house, responsible for cooking and housework. Lila owes Catherine her freedom; is there a way to help Catherine achieve her own, and at what price? Tension is building between traditionally-minded mages and those advocating change, and something has to break. *** Yin-Yang includes a small amount of profanity and no graphic sex or on-screen physical violence. However, sex and gender roles and relationships within the mage/sensitive subculture are non-traditional in mainstream North American terms. The key criterion in a primary relationship is not relative sex or gender, but the pairing of mage and sensitive; given the transformation of sensitives by their mages, physical sex is non-absolute for a sensitive, and gender identity can vary as in anyone else. *** *** The way mages treat sensitives is extremely varied and, in some cases is outright abusive. The struggle against that is pretty much the point of the book. It is NOT grimdark or misery-porn! However, if you will be triggered by this, please, don't read Yin-Yang! *** Complete stand-alone novel, 153K words! Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
