《Hunger for affection》Act I – Homes | Ugly
Advertisement
Ugly, cheap, and strength. Those were the three reasons why she was bought.
[But, why those reasons?] The girl asked herself shortly after hearing it from her mistress.
But upon entering the house, sooner rather than later she would find her answer.
As she entered, like a frightened sheep, she was guided through the elegant house by its owner or rather was carried through it, to the deepest part of it, where elegance was left aside, giving way to a more atmosphere. simple and humble.
[Where will it take me] was a thought that the little girl had at the beginning of this trip, but soon, it was replaced or rather put aside, by dire thoughts resulting from the looks of disgust she received here and there by the staff who saw her pass so similar to the looks that all her family gave her, except her mother, before coming here.
At the end of their destiny, the madam and the girl crossed a simple one that gave way to a room with some beds, but the room was not alone, since there was a young maid, who was getting ready.
"By the gods" the madam complained when saw the young maid unoccupied, but instead of scolding her, as if this were a waste of time, she decided to give her a little punishment. "Yi, it's good that you're here, look at this is the newcomer, She will work as a maid from now on, more specifically cleaning, go teaching her the rules while I arrange her papers with the mistress."
And just as the madam ordered, it was fulfilled, or at least the essential, she after ordering, left the room leaving the girl with the young maid, who was a bit moody about her unexpected work.
But even with this disgust, she made sure to teach him the rules and hierarchy of society.

From the top was the owner of the property and his wife, followed by his 3 concubines, from here down are the employees and servants with their different hierarchies.
And she was in the lowest of all, a newly arrived servant, with no place to stand, whose rules that concerned her would be to follow orders from the superior servants, especially the one who brought her here, as well as the orders from her masters.
"Well that would be all, now little beast, while your work finishes being defined, go clean this place," the young maid ordered the girl.
[Beast, monster, spawn, wild cat] The girl remembered several titles that her family told her and that she would now receive from other people.
"Hey, what are you waiting for? Start now, beast," the young maid urged her, pulling her out of her little stupor and making her go out to start her work.
And so she stayed for an hour, cleaning the room alone until the madam came back for her.
"Take, your uniform," said the madam, throwing her some clothes, and after taking them tell her" Well, from now on you will work from 6 in the morning to 8 at night sweeping and taking care of the back garden, that your companions explain you better.
And taking a breath, the madam added one last thing.
"By the way, the mistress named you Di Go, that's all, so after I dress you, start working."
The madam said goodbye but before leaving the poor girl told her.
"Madam, excuse me, but my name is Rin Shin."
Little did the girl know that this would be her first mistake, since when she spoke, the madam was invaded by a strong angry flame, which she let out mercilessly against the girl, starting with a strong slap, so hard that it knocked her down in the act.

But this does not end here, since being on the floor, the lady did not wait for anything to give her a kick in the stomach, leaving her deprived and crying on the floor.
"Stinking beast, how dare you to reply to me and oppose me not only to me but to the mistress, hear the word of the mistress is God's command, and if she wants to call you manure, you will be called manure, so get into your head, of course, you are not worth anything, you are just a cheap object that the mistress bought on sale, which she can throw away or destroy whenever she wants, do you understand?
"Yes ..." Rin sobbed in response.
"Well, we'll see you then. Say, don't forget what I told you," the madam said goodbye to Rin, but not before giving her another kick in her stomach, as a final point.
And with this painful punishment, the Rin's life of servitude began as well as learning that here she was worth nothing, that she was just a cheap product, thus answering one of her questions.
As the days went by, she learned from her assigned job or rather from her jobs.
At first, she started working with difficulty like any newbie and even more so I feel so young.
But this increased with the intimidation of her companions, they scold her and insulted her every so often, and they devised some way to make her make a mistake so that they would punish her.
And among this was that she was put to do work for others.
This got to such a point that she complained to her superior, the head of the servant, and the one who brought her here, but what she received was scolding and insults.
[Why so much work? Why me?] The little Rin wondered every night before going to sleep.
But after the days and months, she learned that her colleagues left work for any excuse to go to serve their master, realizing why they needed someone strong, and it was to cover these young maids.
And this took more meaning, when one day while cleaning the garden, it was realized how far away that a servant and a man were in the distance making fun of her.
"How ugly, how does it happen to my wife to hire such a thing, I had told her that she wanted someone pretty and young," said the man with enough force for her to listen and with the intention of annoying her.
"Oh my lord, you are right, every day I have to calm down because of its idiocy and ugliness, at least it contributes by working," the maid flirted.
[Ugly, work], maybe she was young, but not stupid, so when listening to them she began to connect the dots reaching the true conclusion, she was here to cover the others, while they flirted with the master.
It had taken half a year but she had her answer, this depressed her for a while, but over time she was able to bear it.
Until she had been in the place for more than a year and received news from her boss.
"We are selling you."

Advent of the Mindfire Mage: A Challenger's Return Story
Updates MWF, 6PM EST! Not so long ago, a story was posted on Webnovel, one that fired my imagination unlike almost anything before or since. It was known as The Challenger's Return: Rebirth of the Rainbow Mage. However, 150 chapters in, the author NightWind, who I'd personally interacted with and begun to consider a true friend, vanished from the internet without a trace. And so, I have acted upon my fervent desire to pick up his torch, to refuse to let his world that stirred such passion in me die. Read below about my own take on The Challenger's Return. Was Lheticus summoned to the Tower by chance, or by choice? Either way, with the new power he wins, he won't hesitate to burn anyone who seeks to keep him from his true love to cinders, and with a unique ability of the highest potential, he may just succeed, but he's just as likely to burn himself down. And as it turns out, the latter case may be woven into his very destiny...can that destiny be changed? And if it is, what will be the repercussions for the Tower? (You may want to read a fair amount of the original Challenger's Return before starting this, as, particularly in the early chapters, many things that are laid out in it are glossed over in this story.)
