"Anyway...you said you knew some information about the stages, right?" I said to the red-haired girl, who had risen from her bow.
"Yes. From what I currently know, there are 3 stages. However, I suspect there is far more than just that," the girl explained.
I nodded and fell into thought. "And every time I advance to the next stage, I become more powerful?"
She nodded. "That is correct, master. However, instead of 'advancing to the next stage', perhaps a better phrase would be 'break the next seal'."
I raised an eyebrow, hearing that. "Oh? Explain."
"As you wish, master," she replied, and continued after a pause. "In order to break through to the next stage of Chaos, you must break your seal. In other words, the power is already residing within you, but you just cannot use it as of now."
Heya guys! Cyclxne here.
There will be a duel between Xuan Kai and Mei Gui in the next chapter, but suffice to say, she already joined the hare-
A-Ahem, I mean, group.
Anyway...a little background on Chinese. Mei Gui means 'rose'. And just like the flower, the girl is beautiful in every aspect possible. Her personality was questionable, but even then...she treats Xuan Kai with her whole being. Even if her kindness is only directed at one person, it's still existent.
That being said, currently, Mei Gui doesn't understand the world yet. She may be strong and well-versed in the art of magic, but when it came to human relationships or interacting with others, she was just as clueless as Xuan Kai. While she hadn't suffered a tragedy like our poor MC, she was just recently awakened. You can think of her as a baby. A extremely powerful, merciless, ruthless baby that will kill without a second thought.
Ah, but worry not. Laws are made to be broken, and empty characters are made to be developed. There will be plenty of emotional, important scenes to come, which play a major part in the characters' developments. Xuan Kai and Mei Gui both...they will slowly begin to understand relationships, what the word 'friend' truly means, and eventually....love.
Well. I'm writing some pretty deep shit right now, huh?
If you're wondering why, it's probably because I'm listening to my extremely sad piano playlist on Spotify. Man...every time I listen to this, I get into this emotional mood. But I don't cry. I lost the ability to do that years ago.
In a way, I am similar to Xuan Kai. I based him off of myself, after all.
Anyway...that's all from me for now.
And as always, I'll see you guys in the next chapter.
