[Warning! Warning! Host's health point has been reduce by 80%]
Medeia flickered her eyelids open as the system's voice rang in her ears over and over again.
Medeia gasped as searing pain shot through her left thigh. She looked down in disbelief—a tree branch had slammed into her thigh, its splintered edge embedded deep into her muscle.
Blood seeped from the wound, soaking her pants. "Great! I almost got strangled by a snake a while ago, and now ... this! Did you also reduce my luck along with my physics and mana?"
[System has detected a false accusation!]
Medeia, "False accusation my ass! I've never been this unlucky before!"
[Opening the list of Host's unlucky events ...
Abused by the demon king daily
Hair set on fire (more than dozens of times) ...]
"Okay, stop! Stop! Stop!" Medeia almost choke to death after being roasted by a fucking system. Moreover, it also brought her trauma with the demon king!
But the important question was, why did the system suddenly develop its personality and become more annoying?
[Host, you need to move immediately or the Ironbeak Falcon will kill you!]
Medeia looked up at the sky and found a giant falcon had been flying around the forest for who knew how long.
She was lucky that her body was covered in the shade of massive trees, so the falcon couldn't see her. However, when it created a tornado again, she would be dead immediately.
She had to move, but the branch was wedged between boulders, and Medeia's current body was incapable of pushing such a large boulder alone.
"Tian! Tian, are you there?!" Medeia turned her head around, trying to find the brunette man with a cold face.
But no one answered her call after a long time.
The tornado may have thrown him somewhere or he might have already died.
"This is what you get for insulting a demon queen." Medeia pretended to speak to Tian. "You will be cursed, or worse, dead."
She took a deep breath, then gripped the branch tightly. "Okay. Okay. I won't feel pain if I believe it won't hurt."
Medeia slowly pulled out the tree branch out of her thigh. "Oh, it hurts! It so hurts, damn it!"
[Mild language detected!]
[Reduce the C-Points by 10 points]
Medeia ignored the system completely because the pain was too hard to handle. She gritted her teeth and pulled the trunk out fastly.
Blood streamed down her leg, pooling beneath her.
[Warning! Warning! Host's health points has been reduce by 90%]
[Stop the blood or Host will be dead in 10 second]
Medeia quickly ripped her cloak, then pressed it hard against the wound on her thigh. Blood soaked into the cloth and slowly but surely, the blood began to stop flowing.
She bit her lower lips to hold her voice as she wrapped the cloak tighter, looping it around her leg and knotting it tightly.
[The blood has stop, Host will have a chance to survive]
She controlled her breath before she tried to get up and used another tree branch to walk. Each step was painful, but it was better than dying a second time.
After walking for almost fifteen minutes, Medeia's body finally gave up. She couldn't move her legs anymore and decided to hide under a massive tree.
When she lowered her head, she accidentally saw that there were many green pebbles scattered around the trees.
The pebbles didn't look special at all and looked like normal pebbles in different colors. However, when Medeia touched it, she received a notification from the system.
[Ding! You have discovered the Stone of Fertility!]
- Revitalizes barren soil
- Increases crop yield by 200%
- Reduces the time needed for plants to grow by 80%]
[Cost: -5% of Host's HP with each activation]
Medeia grasped the stone tightly and shouted at the system. "Look at that! I'm not that unlucky!"
But her happiness disappeared instantly when the system reminded her of the danger that was still after her.
[Warning: Ironbeak Falcon Approaching You]
[Chance to survive: 1%]
Medeia threwn the pebble to the ground as soon as she heard that damn notification.
The falcon had disappeared and Medeia didn't realize it earlier because she was too caught up in her pain.
"Is it already gone?"
[The Ironbeak Falcon is still nearby Host's location]
If it wasn't in the sky, it meant it landed and walked on the ground. Medeia became wary of her surroundings and pressed her body closer to the tree.
She gripped her dagger, hoping that tiny blade could save her from the Grade-S mutant.
It was impossible, indeed.
But she had no choice but to lie to herself that she would survive and find the man of her dreams.
Medeia widened her eyes as she heard something big had stepped on the fallen tree.
She slowly turned her head back and for the first time in her life a sense of dread swept over her. The falcon stood about 15 feet tall, its iron beak crushing the tree that stood in its way.
In her previous life, she had no problem fighting kraken and other hell monsters. But now, with her current weak body, a mere falcon might be able to tear her body to pieces.
[The Ironbeak Falcon is ready to eat you!]
[Chance to survive: 0.00005%]
The falcon opened its beak wide and shrieked loudly. Its voice sounded so defeating that Medeia had to cover her ears.
She held on to the branch, trying her best not to be swept away by the wind coming from the falcon's beak.
"Shut the fuck up!" Her voice blended with the falcon's loud voice, so the system couldn't detect the foul language.
She threw the dagger with precision and the blade turned out to be able to hit the falcon's right eye.
Medeia smiled slightly, but her smile immediately vanished when the falcon became angrier.
The falcon shrieked loudly before it brought its beak closer to Medeia. Her heart beat twice harder because she thought she would be dead for a second time.
[Chance to survive: 100%]
Medeia widened her eyes, wondering how could her chance to survive suddenly rise up to 100%?!
Before she could think about that further, a blur of movement crossed her vision.
A man in a black coat appeared out of nowhere, crashing into her as fast as a bullet. His hands wrapped around her waist, and he carried her away just as the falcon's deadly beak hit where she'd been standing.
Medeia struggled to process what had just happened. His voice didn't sound like any of her hunting group, so who was he?
As the gust of wind swept open his hood scarf, Medeia felt like she was staring into a perfectly sculpted sculpture.
His golden hair scattered through the wind, gleamed as the sunlight touched his figure. His emerald eyes seemed sharp, yet so gentle when he looked at Medeia.
His strong jawline and his tanned skin made him look so hot that Medeia felt like her whole body was on fire.
"Are you hurt, Miss?" asked him. His voice sounded low and a bit hoarse, but it didn't erase the gentleness in his tone.
"I-I'm so scared!" Medeia pretended to be so scared that her eyes filled with crocodile tears. She leaned on his broad shoulder and stroked his chest. "Please ... please, help me."
[Ding! Ding! The system has detected a potential handsome, kind husband!]
Ability: Unknown (Grade-???)
Handsome value: 100+/100
Kind-Hearted Value: 99/100]
[Do you want to accept him as your potential husband? (Yes/No)]
Medeia didn't even look at his information before choosing 'YES'.
Unexpectedly, the system didn't sound happy when Medeia chose her potential husband.
[The system can't detect his ability, so the system doesn't think he's an ideal husband for Host]
[His kindness value also looks strange]
'Who cares about that shit?'
As long as he could bless Medeia's eyes with his handsome face and hot body, she didn't care about anything else!
[Is Host sure wants to accept this man as your potential husband?]
'Yes! So shut up already and accept my request!'
