Skipping her usual crop tops, Xiao decided to change her to-go outfit for today: a cream beige knitted turtle neck body-hugging sweater tucking it in her plain white pencil skirt. As today is a special day where she has to be more formal, she grabbed her dark gray coat as she finished everything with a knee high black socks paired with a pair of midnight black ankle boots. She looked into the mirror as she examined herself. Flashing a smile, she realized the outfit suited her more. She didn’t know she would like this as this might have been the first time she ever tried wearing one. Usually, she would go for crop tops and jeans as her comfortable clothing line, but admittedly, changing some of your habitual things could be a good thing. And this one has been good for a change. Before heading out, she quickly snapped out her black purse that was laying atop on her side table. She looked at the mirror once again before she hung the purse over her right shoulde

Chapter 022Flashing a smile, Xiao entered the hospital as she greeted the guard, nurses and doctors she had met half way through towards the VIP area. After the heartfelt talk she had with Mr. Wilson, she realized she was already late for the scheduled time. Her father clearly told her not to be late, but look at it now, she’s walking nonchalantly as if she’s not running out of time. Who cares anyway, Xiao had thought as she slipped inside the VIP lounge leading to the personalized built-in restaurant. The Tatsunumi family member was the one who built the hospital, including her own attended university. It was personally built according to Xiao’s great grandfather’s taste in interior designs, Tobayashi Tatsunumi, who became a well-known architect during his time. He may be the person behind of those two famous infrastructures, but since one of them was sold to someone after its completion, so the sole owner of Kiyachi University wasn’t
Xiao, the Soulwaker Chapter 023
Chapter 023It took about ten minutes for Xiao to return back to her seat. The people were loudly talking to each other as if there’s no tomorrow. Xiao couldn’t even understand the topic. As soon as she was seated, her father greeted her and she just responded the same. Unlike other businessmen, Xiao noticed that her father was the peculiar one as he seemed to be the most matured compare to others who acted so comfortably as if they’re just staying in their homes. When it comes to her father, he’s the complete opposite. He’s such a fine man; as she watched him slicing the steak so delicately. Xiao couldn’t hide her smiles as she stared at him. He was looking down but his eyelashes were still evident. He looked so calm amidst the danger he has been into recently. It’s as if he got no problems running inside his mind. He’s the actual type of a man that Xiao wants. The calm yet serious type. How she wished she could actually find s

Chapter 024“Hoping to see you back in the university!”Those were the last words from Jun before he ran off. They kept ringing in Xiao’s ears, non-stop. She started to think about it over, whether she should go back to the university when the graduation is fast approaching. Her father was never against with her decision when she wanted to be homeschooled and he also never discuss about it furthermore; he just directly asked for the school’s director in charge about that matter and the request was fast approved. But now that she’s thinking about it, she also needs to spend her remaining days in the university and not at home. It would be another humiliation if she’d just attend on the graduation day which can be very embarrassing yet once again.“You think so? Then why the hell this happened?”Xiao was snapped back to reality when she heard someone shout. Her mind processed its voice and she immediately took

Chapter 025The only person that comes to Xiao’s mind, the only capable one, and the only she’s very sure that she could put her trust into, seems to be slipping away. It made her heart sink as she listened to his words. She couldn’t accept it but she has to, if it’s his choice.“Lady Xiao, I have thought about what you have said to me,” looking straight to her eyes, Mr. Wilson never looked away, as he continued his words, “You said you will freely let me go if I would want to.”“Yes, I did say that.”“Thank you so much, Lady Xiao. I have served you enough, my family served you enough, so I want to be away. Freely.”“If that’s what you want,” Xiao tried her best not to stop Mr. Wilson. She may be in need of help regarding her aunt, but if he wants to leave, she couldn’t do anything about that. That would only mean she’s a great pretender if she wou

Chapter 026 It was yet another tiring day for Xiao as she has come to face the hardest challenge of balancing herself on the beam. She has to perform artistic actions while she would need not to fall down from the beam. It’s really almost impossible for her as she didn’t consider herself a professional gymnast. That’s why she has to outdo her previous records on this day which Mr. Jake had suggested because if it won’t happen today, the time would run out as they only have a month away for her most anticipated competition. Xiao sighed heavily before she closed her eyes. She inhaled and exhaled in order to calm and to not make herself be dead due to severe nervousness. The fact that she’s also anxious at the moment, makes it even harder for her. As she opened her eyes, she started running towards the beam and did a forward front flip as she landed on its solid top. She started moving on the balance beam; her legs move one after another, resulting a smooth, flu
Xiao, the Soulwaker Chapter 027
Chapter 027Xiao was snapped back to reality as soon as she heard Mr. Wilson’s voice calling out her name for the nth time. The lad did not have any idea how many times he called for her, “You seemed to be so in deep thoughts, Lady Xiao.”“I just remembered something. Sorry if I was so out of my mind,” she even waved a smile on her face just to remove the awkwardness between them, “by the way, where’s coach?” she asked when she noticed Mr. Jake was longer standing beside her.“He excused himself for a while. I think he went outside as he received a call.”“Oh I see. I didn’t notice that.”“As I said, you were so in deep thoughts.”I was just reminiscing what happened yesterday, Mr. Wilson, you were such a cry-baby, Xiad said at the back of her mind, almost spitting them out externally. Good thing, her thoughts had remained only within her. She
Xiao, the Soulwaker Chapter 028
Chapter 028Xiao couldn’t keep up as to how many times she already sighed in front of her university’s gates. She kept looking back, but she couldn’t even proceed to walk away like what has been ruining her proposed plans. She’s already here, so the purpose wasn’t to get away but to face it with confidence. That was her father had said to her. It would be her only opportunity to finally get back to her pace, as she keeps moving, she needed to own her self-confidence. In that way, people’s prejudices of her will be deemed wrongful. As her father said, she should prove everyone that she’s greater than them. She shouldn’t be embarrassed; she makes what she is. And by proving everyone that she has something they don’t, that would only make them even jealous, but she shouldn’t get affected instead she should hold her crown even higher as they’d strike her down. People always have something to say; nevertheless, it s
Xiao, the Soulwaker Chapter 029
Chapter 029 Like what Xiao had expected as soon as she came inside the campus premises, all eyes of people were pointed towards her. They weren’t saying anything, but it was all obvious. If looks could talk, she would know how their minds have been working. But just like what her father had said, she shouldn’t be faltered instead keep her head high. She followed her father’s advice, it somehow made her feel better although deep inside she’s still afraid of criticism; of how people were never tired of pointing out her mistakes but never her good deeds. She succeeded upon entering her first class, which was General Mathematics, but after finding out that the teacher couldn’t make it, the class was immediately forfeited. Everyone cheered and were delighted to exit the room as soon as possible. Xiao just looked at them walking away, as she remained seated, unable to speak up her thoughts. Pursing her lips, she moved her chair forward as she laid her head down onto the ta

Epilogue Xiao’s eyes felt like twirling. She sees nothing but darkness. Her head gone dizzy as she slowly closed her eyes. But before she could even do it, a tantamount light enveloped her surroundings and the next thing she knew, the lightning has became vivid enough to make her cover her face. The light wasn’t simply just a light, it was blinding enough. When she tilted her head to the side, that’s when she realized where the light was coming from. The necklace. Xiao’s eyes widened in shock upon realizing she found her necklace once again. The last time she saw this was when she thought she’ll be already dead. But then, it showed itself this time again. She touched it without hesitation as she felt a tingling sensation which made her body electrified. Something has came inside her body by her own gut feeling, and the next thing she knew, she was already slowly succumbed to unconsciousness as things became dark in an instant. “W-

Chapter 075“The invaders came. They are after you so that they can seize this world. I don’t want that to happen. We have to find a way out.”“But I’ve been here for a long time, why they just come now?”“I don’t have any idea either. Maybe this is Eula’s doing.”Xiao wasn’t able to speak upon the mention of her name. The8 noticed that, but he didn’t further discuss anything about it as they just kept on running. They finally reached the spaceship at the near end.“Is this Cheska?” asked Xiao to which The8 agreed, she smiled as she says, “it’s been a long time.”As soon as they entered the ship, Cheska greeted them with an enthusiastic voice although it is very clear that she was just an AI. They walked towards the center area which then she spotted Asphalt and Code Nine the next time. She called their names enthusiastically as she dropped

Chapter 074“So this is the power of your ultimate creation, Miss Shuan,” Eula whispered as she looked up to the Soulwaker. It was so immense, she knew it was no longer Xiao, but already a whole new and different entity. “So, even up until this point, I gotta work my ass out in order to serve you the best revenge I could get for,” she laughed, “this is hilarious,” she said when she remembered something, “back when I was young, three girls blackmailed me as they were talking about revenge too. And yet, here I am, still alive and breathing perfectly. So, I wonder the same thing. Would Xiao be saved from my revenge too? Would Xiao be able to live a happy life, unlike me, who was all desperate for nothing?!” she shouted, it was evident in her eyes that she was already at her limitation. Her face was so red, as if she’s gonna burst any time from now. She looked up to Xiao once again. She was already awakened. But Eula couldn&rs
Xiao, the Soulwaker Chapter 073
Chapter 073Eula’s eyes grew even more confused when Miss Shin didn’t even start talking anything after what she had said. She was once again testing the waters and Eula seemed so bothered with it. She just couldn’t stop thinking about it. As things started encircling inside her mind. What if… she had thought, did she see the whole thing? She asked the most possible question, because if she didn’t, she won’t be saying this otherwise. The little girl who was almost near to tears earlier, looked up to the sophisticated woman whose demeanor seemed so strong. Eula thought that Miss Shin was that type of person. A very complicated, yet powerful woman. She can see it fully that Miss Shin won’t ever needing a man, instead the men will keep longing for her attention. It was kinda funny actually on how certain things appear in most unexpected times. Eula was still young and learning at that time, and just by

Chapter 072Eula’s tears pooled down to her cheeks before she could even realize. That was the time when she realized that something was happening around her. I was in danger, she thought, but was too late to realize. She couldn’t believe herself, as she turned to look at her mother for the last time because she knew this would be their very last moment and that, she won’t be seeing her ever again. Another set of tears rolled down to her chin as she closed her eyes endearingly. That’s when a memory passed through her mind. That’s when she realized that the time she had with her mother, was too little.Eula was an only child. She goes to school all by herself without a companion. Not even her mother, not even her father. The latter left their family since she was born and she had never experienced nor remembered the face of his own father. She would ask her mother about it but either she, won’t be saying anything. It was like
Xiao, the Soulwaker Chapter 071
Chapter 071 As soon as Xiao felt waking up, her body felt numb and she couldn’t properly hear her surroundings. It was as if her hearing went numb too and all she could feel at that moment was pain. When her eyes meet her own self, that’s when she realized that something has gone down right bad. She felt it in every inch of her body. She wasn’t wrong. She was battered when she’s asleep. And for how did it happen, she couldn’t understand either. For all she knew, she went asleep, all was dark, for a fleeting moment. And as soon as she wake up, it felt like it only happened in a short period of time. It was deliberately confusing in her part. Her body feels all the pain and she could see all the bruises she had gone through. All she knew, it was caused by no other but that person. Oh scratch that, she isnʼt a person nor a robot. She’s the epitome of a monster. Xiao was gritting her teeth to the extent and was able to flinch her head upwards when she felt an e
Xiao, the Soulwaker Chapter 070
Chapter 070 “Why did you lie to me?” those words rang back to The8’s rings. It kept on going round and round as he couldn’t even brush it away from his mind. He wondered whether it was the Soulwaker who’s asking or not. He didn’t know how to respond because he lied in both parties and so he couldn’t even start a proper apology because he didn’t know where he could feel sorry for. He sighed as he looks at her, “I’m sorry,” he started to say before thinking about the next thing he would say. He stared at her for too long but it seemed like he’s still out of words. He still couldn’t find the proper terms he should be using. So, this is how it feels to be frustrated once again… He had thought upon looking away. I’m happy to feel humane feelings once again but I didn’t want frustration to be the first… “I had to do it to save you...” he finally said. Xiao looked at him for a moment before she had laughed, “Oh really? Just when is the mome
Xiao, the Soulwaker Chapter 069
Chapter 069The8’s memories had slowly subsided as Xiao approaches him. She walked slowly towards him without breaking the eye contact. The8 couldn’t stop himself seeing her in resemblance of his Master, as they truly looked like each other. Shuan was once an important part of his life, and now that she’s nowhere to be found, he actually blamed himself for it. Even though he knew that he wasn’t supposed to be blaming himself, but he couldn’t stop to do so, when he knows the real reason why Shuan chose the deadly path instead of letting herself being away from harm. He knows himself that he’s also accountable for whatever’s happening right now. And the fact that he’s also hopeless when it comes to Xiao, he did not know what to do anymore; whether he’s doing the right thing or if he’s only being selfish; he didn’t know how to discern any longer. It seemed like his life choices were being repeated as if it’s
Xiao, the Soulwaker Chapter 068
Chapter 068The light went gone as what Xiao noticed when she opened her eyes. But the thing that shocked her the most was, the headquarters was already nowhere to be seen. She noticed that she can see the outside where all robots were gathered and most probably, the headquarters was already caught by fire. She just realized that she ruined the headquarters all by herself. She couldn’t believe what she had done.“Isn’t that the Queen?”“So she was the cause of these? That’s why I had a bad feeling when I felt a sudden earthquake earlier…”“She really did all of that in a short span of time?”“But I couldn’t believe it…”“Why she did that anyway? It was too much, don’t you think so?”“But she should be protecting us, right? Then why…”“She’s doing the different thing.”“This is
