Capítulo 1: Heavenly Star Fall

In the middle of autumn, under the starry night sky, a colorful star fell into a Northern Realm's mountain region. It obliterated everything within tens of kilometers radius.

Strangely, not a single noise could be heard. Almost everyone on the continent witnessed the devastating earthquake and super bright light explosion. It was as if doomsday had arrived.

The night was more dazzling than the day, giving the impression the sun was falling and ending all life. However, it only lasted for a few minutes.

Many major forces from various renowned backgrounds were mobilized to investigate what happened. Yet, everyone was shocked to find the Northern Realm's mountain region intact, as if that night's catastrophe was just an illusion.

It could be a treasure from heaven or a calamity from outer space. No one could even tell the exact location where the star fell.

The locals were also perplexed about what was happening in their territory. However, that didn't mean they would permit the others to invade under the pretext of investigation.

The battle broke out, and heavy casualties fell within that deadly week until some influential experts intervened and complicated things.

Ultimately, the major forces from other regions were chased away and inevitably returned empty-handed.

That night's phenomenon was known as the Heavenly Star Fall. Two years had passed since then, and no one could unravel the mystery.

A girl in unique and stylized clothing inspired by the colors of a shrine priestess traditional outfit was reading a book at the humble abode on a peak of one of the mountains in the Northern Realm's mountain region.

Неr fеаturеѕ роѕѕеѕѕеd а сеrtаіn ѕhееn unlіkе аnу оthеr jade-like beauty. Неr gentle, angelic bеаutіful fасе аnd wеll body рrороrtіоnѕ, еvеrуthіng wаѕ реrfесtlу bаlаnсеd, аѕ іf ѕhе wаѕ а wоrk оf аrt, the God's masterpiece.

Her long midnight-black hair glistened with a purplish hue under the sunlight, caressed by the gentle breeze. A big red ribbon tied like a butterfly adorned her hair as an accessory. Her flawless white skin seemed to glow under the warm sunlight. She curved her sweet cherry lips into a smile.

"Heavenly Star Fall, huh..." The shrine priestess closed the book and hugged it while looking up at the brilliant autumn sky. Her purplish-blue colored eyes sparkled with curiosity.

A few moments later, she put the book onto her lap. Rather than calling it a book, it looked more like a grimoire. Silver was the base cover material, but the artistic cover and frame were made of gold with two small wing ornaments on the open side. A symbol resembling a praying little angel adorned the cover's center.

She opened her grimoire to check the quest she had just completed this morning.

[Build the shrine's defensive wall using silver ash granite][Reward: Home Super Defense+] [Complete]

[The agent of the White Realm is satisfied with your diligence]

"Hmm-mm~ It took more than a month of hard work. Thankfully, the kind spirits gave a helping hand. This place will be much safer now, and I can sleep peacefully tonight." The shrine priestess felt satisfied by the quest giver's comment. She then flipped through a few pages to check the mission list.

[Conquer the ancient heavenly tomb in the secret realm of the extreme north][Reward: Heavenly Legacy]

"That's impossible, right? That kind of place is beyond dangerous for me."

[Tame the black fire dragon in the Dark Hell Vulcano in the Demon Realm][Reward: Powerful pet]

"Uhh, that looks like suicide. I am a mortal shrine priestess, and what can I do with a powerful dragon in the distant land?"

[Purify a desperate cursed creature on the Sacred Mountain][Reward: Reliable subordinate]

...(read more)

The shrine priestess checked other missions by sliding her grimoire's paper page like a screen. However, she came back to the third top mission because she thought a particular quest suited her capabilities the best.

"..." The shrine priestess pondered for a moment as if considering something. She then made up her mind and chose to take that quest. "Now, this looks like a proper job to me. A mission to purify a lost ghost, right?"

The shrine priestess went to prepare for her mountain exploration to purify a lost ghost. She put all necessary equipment in her secret storage pouch, then brought her Gohei... her reliable wooden wand to cleanse, bless, or exorcise anything.

She clasped her hands in prayer in front of a six-winged Goddess statue within the shrine before leaving.

"Um?" The shrine priestess glanced back because she felt someone was watching her, but she could see no one there.

The powerful deity, He-Dao, had left a year ago and never came to visit again. He helped her a lot that year, but she became the only human on this mountain since then.

There was only a garden of colorful flowers, vegetables, and fruit trees. The Sacred Sakura she planted eighteen months ago was also there, next to the shrine, swaying slightly in the wind. However, the sakura tree seemed to send her off.

The shrine priestess smiled and waved her hand in farewell. She locked the entrance gate and headed down the mountain, humming a cheerful song. She no longer had to worry about any intruders. The three-meter tall and one-meter thick, sturdy defensive wall would do the job perfectly.

The shrine priestess explored the Sacred Mountain like she was in her backyard. Unfortunately, after several hours of gruelling exploration, she still couldn't find her mission's objective. She was already tired from walking, but no ghost trace was found.

"It's almost dusk, and I can't find it. The mission is merely information. I have explored the entire Sacred Mountain... am I out of luck?" The shrine priestess muttered as she glanced left and right.

She could find a few docile beasts and poor demons, but no corrupted ghost could be found anywhere. The nature spirits didn't even see any strange creatures nearby.

Because she was unlucky, she decided to perform her monthly ritual to the sacred being beneath the mountain. The secret ground where no one but she could enter. The place where the greatest mystery about Heavenly Star Fall was buried.

"Has the shrine priestess left yet?"

"Oh, hell, yeah. The mountain guardian's aura is beyond scary."

"Tch, I can trample upon the masses of people, but that human girl is... her aura scares me."

"This mountain is extremely rich in top-tier quality qi. Living here can greatly boost my cultivation, which no other place can offer. It's better to behave when encountering her and living here all my life, rawr!"

"The shrine priestess seems to be looking for something, right? Is it about that silver ash stone again? Shouldn't we help her again, and then we can expect a reward later?"

"Honorable lady seems to be looking for a creature like a corrupted ghost around here."

"Ghosts to exorcise? So, it's just a routine patrol. They stand no chance to approach this Sacred Mountain."

"But, those damned elemental spirits monopolize the opportunity for two months! Her house defensive wall is done, and we must snatch our luck tomorrow!"

"Yeah, this is our chance to overthrow those elemental spirits."

"Hum."

The so-called docile beasts and poor demons came out of the bushes when the shrine priestess could no longer be seen.

Actually, their first meeting with the shrine priestess was so abysmal. They mistook her for prey, but they got beaten in return. After several exchanges, they could only behave well before the shrine priestess.

Nobody could overpower the shrine priestess. Everything that dared to come closer to the mountain guardian with malice would be suppressed to mortal level, without exception, and beaten up with no mercy using the holy wooden rod. No one dared to blatantly challenge the shrine priestess' authority since then unless they had a death wish.

The beasts and demons of the Sacred Mountain were so well-behaved in front of the shrine priestess. However, the priestess didn't know their true intentions were something profound. They would look for every opportunity to expect some gifts.

Hello!

What do you think about the first chapter? Pls let me know in the comment ^^

Capítulo 2: Sacred Ground

'I am a wandering golden tiger who loves exploring mountains and hunting good-looking prey.'

'I can't say I'm the strongest, but I'm not a weak fish in a calm pond. I was hunting an attractive grizzle deer for dinner this afternoon when I unknowingly arrived at this mountain. One of the places where the powerful demon overlord resides.'

'That is the rumour, but I dare not test my luck. Despite being curious about the rumoured invisible demon, I rushed away when I saw a pink tree at the mountain's peak.'

'However, who would have thought I would encounter the mentioned invisible demon here.'

A three-meter golden tiger fell to the ground, unable to run before a particular human girl. He thought this human girl was easy prey, but he was being preyed upon instead. Not to mention the suffocating aura and sense of oppression that made it hard to breathe. He would be killed!

Since he was in danger, he had to beg for his life and ask for mercy. Thus, he removed his cloth bag tied on his back and shoved it to the human girl as an offering.

"..." The shrine priestess was at a loss for words. She shot an arrow with strong anesthetic poison at the tiger's leg because the other party attacked her.

Thanks to a nature spirit's early warning, she managed to easily subdue the big tiger. Who would have thought the big tiger would present a bundle of something to her. He even whimpered with a pitiful gaze like a big kitten begging attention.

"Well, hello there, big tiger. This is the first time I've seen you around here... Are you a new overlord around this mountain? Don't hunt as you please because I'm not easy prey. No, next time, okay?" The shrine priestess lowered her bow, and her hunting tendencies died down.

She wondered what she would do with the big tiger. Perhaps, she would just let him go.

*Whimper* *Whimper*

The big tiger looked scared as she approached.

"What is this? Fresh, well-cut meat? Are you also a civilized beast?" The shrine priestess was surprised when she saw the contents of the cloth bundle. No ordinary tiger would take the meat home like this.

The big tiger felt slightly relieved because the human girl's oppressive aura had significantly decreased. Thus, he whimpered again for mercy because he couldn't utter anything strangely.

"You want to give this to me?" The shrine priestess felt conflicted, but she accepted the kindness after the tiger nodded his head repeatedly.

"I'll only take half a kilogram; you can take the rest home. You shouldn't attack me next time, okay? Or, you could end up as tiger skin rug." The shrine priestess took some well-sliced meat and stored it in her storage pouch hidden in her obi belt. She plucked her arrow from the big tiger's leg, poured the antidote, and then walked away.

"Phew..." The big tiger could finally heave a sigh of relief. He was still alive...

He would have to think twice if he crossed the path with the seemingly easy target again. Sometimes, there was a mighty being that looked like an ordinary mortal.

The oppressive aura disappeared, and he suppressed the anesthetic poison with his qi as soon as possible. He took his cloth bag and hurriedly left the vicinity before that human girl changed her mind.

'Eh? Am I seeing it wrong? That big tiger runs on his two legs? He's not an ordinary beast but a tigerman!' The shrine priestess rubbed her eyes when she saw the big tiger was running for his dear life.

A few moments later, the shrine priestess arrived at a hidden cave entrance gate at the base of a remote cliff at the foot of the mountain. She looked around, then went inside.

*Zap*

She was teleported the moment she stepped into the cave.

It was a spacious, plain underground hall illuminated by the glitter of blue crystals strewn everywhere. A sealed ground with no entrance or exit. Only she could get in there somehow.

Some rock debris was scattered in the surrounding, and zigzag-shaped paper streamers were bound around them.

The shrine priestess looked at the grand stone altar in the hall's center. A three-meter spherical kaleidoscopic white crystal floated above it, exuding a sacred aura that made anyone feel deep reverence and the urge to kneel.

The shrine priestess came over and knelt down. She burned seven incense sticks before clasping her hands in prayer.

She could not see the sacred being's presence sealed within the crystal, but she remembered the event when she first came here with He-Dao two years ago.

It was still vivid in her mind... the figure of a heavenly six-winged Goddess in a tattered white-gold divine dress. The injured divine being was sealed within the kaleidoscopic white crystal by the shackles of a thick, life-threatening cloud of evil energy.

"!?" The shrine priestess gasped as several memories came to her mind.

The hazy things shrouded in mist gradually became clear. She could regain some of her memories every time she came to pay homage to the sacred being sealed within the kaleidoscopic white crystal.

An event about a gruesome battle and an enormous struggle against an army of curse demons flowed into her mind. It was like her life experience but a scary war for her to comprehend.

'I finally know my name. But, Ruvoid... what kind of monster is that?' The shrine priestess held her head and panted heavily.

After she regulated her breath, she felt an inexplicable feeling from within, telling her to leave as soon as possible. Therefore, she bowed respectfully to the kaleidoscopic white crystal. She turned around and walked away to stand on the magic circle next to the altar.

At that moment, she caught a glimpse of a large gemstone buried in the rubble in a corner. She was sure that thing wasn't there last month.

"Fairy?" The shrine priestess could read the carving between the rubble gaps. Yet, she was teleported out before she could comprehend anything.

'Ah, anyway... So, my name is Ely. Finally, I have a proper name. He-Dao and his accomplices can no longer refer to me with those weird nicknames if we meet again.' The shrine priestess looked into the dark cave. She wished to regain more memories and discover more about the truth of her existence.

Unfortunately, she could only visit the sacred ground for enlightenment every thirty days and stayed inside for five minutes. No less, or else she would be ejected without any prior notice.

'I'd better be back before it gets darker.' Ely looked up at the twilight sky and rushed off up the mountain.

"O wind spirit-" Ely was about to ask the wind spirit to help her fly to the top of the mountain, but she heard a strange rustling sound. She also could feel an unusual aura similar to an evil ghost's.

A little wind spirit came upon her call, but Ely had not yet given any command. Thus, the wind spirit could only wait patiently beside her.

"Hmm?" Ely could confirm that the evil aura was in the north, a breath capable of making a demonic ghost pale in comparison.

"O wind spirit, please seal any noise around my surrounding." Ely whispered to the nearby wind spirit. She then rushed quickly to investigate the source of the evil aura.

It only took her six breaths to arrive at the location. A pitch-black devilish-looking rotten slime was writhing on the ground, digesting some herbs.

"Lost Prayer." Ely summoned her silver-gold grimoire out of thin air above her palm.

She checked the mission she was about to complete. Her objective was the desperate cursed creature, and voila, a blue marker appeared above the devilish-looking slime since it was nearby.

"Poor thing... I will free you from suffering." Ely took out her wooden wand and jumped down from the tree.

"Purification." Ely threw eight purification talismans at the devilish-looking slime. She raised her wooden wand and performed a purification ritual.

*Swoosh*

All talismans were scorched, but the devilish-looking slime still looked threatening. No effect occurred, and Ely was stunned in bewilderment.

The devilish-looking slime noticed her presence, and Ely took a step back. She glanced at her wooden wand and remembered it was one of the top-tier items for purification.

*Blob*

The devilish-looking slime jumped up, about to swallow the human girl. Yet, Ely was swift to dodge and immediately released her counterattack.

"Why can't you be purified according to procedure!? My eight precious purification talismans vanished without causing any effect. I'll beat the crap out of you with this holy wooden wand and see if you can be purified!" Ely beat the slime into oblivion with her wooden wand. Her simple attacks caused some purification effect on the devilish-looking slime.

Once the evil energy vanished, the devilish-looking slime became pensive and enveloped in pure white light. Ely took a few steps back to see what would happen next.

"I've never seen this phenomenon before. Purification is successful, but what's with this rampaging energy? I help it control the energy flow with my innate skill. Let's do this." Ely stretched out her hand and tried to calm the turbulent energy flow within the glowing slime.

The light dimmed, and the energy turbulence died down. It was just that a human-like figure with long golden blonde hair emerged from the purified slime and fell down toward Ely.

"Oh goodness, how did a horrible devilish-looking slime suddenly become a young human? Eh, an elf?" Ely caught the young girl by reflex. She found this young girl's ears were pointy, and she felt conflicted about what to do.
