【Krisha treasures the wand you gifted her and finds it very useful】
【She has become more dependent on you】
【With the enhancement of the wand, Krisha’s strength has significantly improved, and her control over magic has also grown remarkably. You are pleased with this and begin teaching her more advanced spells】
【In the past, as a mere magic apprentice, Krisha could only learn the most basic level 0 spells】
【But now, you can teach her level 1, 2, and 3 spells】
【After two months of teaching, Krisha has learned many new spells from you and mastered the combined use of fire and wind magic】
【The witch has grasped your ingenious idea—the Hair Dryer Spell】
【From now on, Krisha can use fire magic in her left hand and wind magic in her right hand, combining them to release a warm breeze】
【Previously, you used this technique to help the girl dry her hair after bathing, but now, she can do it on her own】
【You are pleased, but for some reason, the girl seems a little down】
【You don’t understand why】
……
【Simulation Year 8, Spring】
【You are 22 years old, Krisha is 14, and the witch has grown another year older】
【It has been a long time since you first met Krisha, and while you feel nostalgic, you are genuinely happy for her growth】
【Aside from her progress in magic, the most important development is the growth of Krisha’s spirit】
【Thanks to your help, the girl has successfully removed all her demonic traits and can now walk and act in a human form】
【With your encouragement, Krisha finally musters the courage to step out of the courtyard. From then on, she no longer fears the presence of others, but she still prefers to stay only with you】
【Only when it’s necessary to purchase supplies does Krisha rarely venture out】
【As the girl puts it, such trivial matters shouldn’t be your responsibility, so she has taken full charge of replenishing the daily necessities, food, and clothing for the courtyard】
【She is like your personal maid】
Under the sunlight, at the entrance of the white-brown courtyard.
The witch seems hesitant, reluctant to step outside.
But just as Xu Xi once led her into the courtyard, this time, Xu Xi again takes her hand, encouraging her to step beyond the courtyard.
“Krisha, look, there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
After stepping out.
Xu Xi comforts her with a gentle voice.
The witch seems dazed, looking down at her legs that have already left the courtyard, then turning back to glance at the courtyard gate. Suddenly, she realizes something.
As long as Xu Xi is by her side, no matter where she is, she won’t be afraid.
The fear in her heart has already dissipated.
In its place is the “sun” that forever resides in her heart, bringing her courage.
“I’m no longer… afraid of anything. Thank you.”
……
【Through your careful guidance and her own innate talent, Krisha’s strength has become astonishing】
【In all of Allenson City, there are only a handful of mages at her level who can match her. It’s not that their talent surpasses hers, but rather that their years of cultivation far exceed her year and a half of training】
【To be safe, and to avoid her true identity being discovered, you haven’t allowed Krisha to join the Mage Association of Allenson City】
【Krisha has no objections to this; she only wants to stay with you and has no interest in anything else】
【Your life together is incredibly peaceful】
【There are no thrilling adventures or legendary tales, but you feel that this calm and serene life is the most precious】
【Your only goal is to cultivate as much as possible, to break through to higher realms sooner, and to watch the girl grow up safely】
【Beyond that, you have no other desires】
……
【Time flows once more, Simulation Year 9】
【You are 23 years old, Krisha is 15, and you have gained your own unique insights into the path of magic. The Wisdom of Mortals activates… The Observer activates…】
【You gradually begin to understand the truths of how the world operates】
【Your spiritual power begins to grow rapidly, and your mastery of magic advances further】
【You sense that you are on the verge of a breakthrough】
【Simulation Year 10, Spring, you are 24 years old, Krisha is 16】
【It has been three and a half years since you adopted the witch, and life during this time has been peaceful and beautiful. Though it feels like a long journey, it also seems to have passed in the blink of an eye】
【You have grown accustomed to life with Krisha】
【She has never disappointed you or made you angry. The only regret you have is that, even after all this time, Krisha’s emotional deficiencies have not improved】
【You have yet to see her express joy, nor have you ever seen her shed tears】
【Through your diligent cultivation, your spiritual power has finally reached its limit, and you are ready to begin your breakthrough】
Allenson City.
In the courtyard near the city center.
In the deepest, most secluded meditation room.
The light is dim, and the lamps flicker.
Xu Xi sits cross-legged, looking down at his left palm, where faint light floats, sometimes transforming into raging flames, sometimes into surging waves, and sometimes into howling winds.
“This is the limit.”
Xu Xi murmurs: “Through the Wisdom of Mortals and Elemental Perception, I have mastered all the magic that an Elite Mage can control. It’s time to advance to Grand Mage.”
The cultivation system and the magic system are different.
Even though he has experience breaking through to the Golden Core stage.
Xu Xi still approaches this realm advancement with 200% caution and care.
With utmost seriousness, he follows the experience notes he found in the Mage Association, gathering all his spiritual power to communicate with and comprehend the elements of the world.
Comprehend, connect, establish a bond.
Unlike before, when he simply controlled elemental power.
This time, Xu Xi must merge his spiritual power with the elements, becoming one with them.
“According to the records in the association, this step has stumped many magical geniuses, causing them to remain stuck at the Elite Mage level.”
“This is also why the number of Elemental Mages is dwindling.”
“Compared to the Divine Church, where one only needs devout faith to make breakthroughs, the path of an Elemental Mage is far too torturous.”
“However, I have the Elemental Perception trait, so this isn’t difficult for me.”
Xu Xi ponders.
He channels his spiritual power, merging it with the surrounding earth, water, wind, and fire.
Everything goes as expected.
No, it’s even easier than expected.
Xu Xi feels no resistance at all; it’s as smooth as drinking water or eating a meal. His spiritual power perfectly integrates with the elements, forming a harmonious relationship.
Grand Mage, breakthrough achieved in an instant!
“Whoosh!!”
A surge of spiritual power, like a tidal wave, carries vast amounts of world elements, rushing back into Xu Xi’s body.
At this moment, Xu Xi’s body becomes a bridge.
Establishing a connection with the elements of all things.
It’s an indescribable, exhilarating feeling that makes one’s eyes shine with excitement.
“In the past, using magic required using spiritual power to painstakingly manipulate the elements, then arranging them into the desired form. But now… it seems that with just a thought, the elements can align themselves, making the process much more efficient and convenient.”
In the meditation room, after his breakthrough, Xu Xi is surrounded by various elements.
He suddenly understands.
No wonder the names of the magic system’s realms are so straightforward.
Grand Mage.
An upgraded, enhanced version of a mage.
It makes perfect sense.
“The advancement to Grand Mage has made it easier for me to control elements. If this trend continues, higher-level mages will undoubtedly become even more adept, perhaps even… gaining control over all the elements in the world?”
Xu Xi pauses for a moment, thinking of the gods who stand above the world.
Perhaps those deities are not as mysterious and grand as they seem.
They are also mages.
Just the strongest mages standing at the pinnacle of the magical world.
“This world is indeed full of secrets.”
“I hope to have the chance to explore them deeply in the future. For now, it’s time to take Krisha and leave Allenson.”
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
