I am weak

"You just brought many clothes for marriage and this is not time to discuss these things, go to your room," ordered Gakuto to show her as a good girl to the Hoshi family but she reacted differently.

"I need to buy a dress that is convenient for fighting. I don't have such clothes," Yuki explained her problem. She really couldn't change her behavior.

As soon as the people heard it, everyone burst into a laugh, "she wants to cultivate?"

"Maybe yesterday the heaven really blessed her or something."

The disdain looks on their face before marriage was decreased due to marriage. So they gave a slack for her.

Yuki straight-up ignored their mockery, "Father, I am going to become strong, please help me." Everyone got dumb folded by hearing that.

Gakuto knew her talent was not good and he didn't want to get embarrassed by others but when he saw the determination in Yuki's eyes. He remembered when she was little.

At that time she was very determined to become a martial artist and wanted to show the world that girls were no less than boys but after her talent was tested she became devastated.

Gakuto didn't want to support her just to get devastated again but some father love their daughter beyond that, "Yuki, do you know what you are saying?"

"Who in the hell do you think I am?" Yuki elevated her pride, "a real man will always speak with weight in the words." She slipped her tongue out of habit.

Everyone got dumb folded. Aya became embarrassed for her claim and whispered, "Young miss, you are a girl."

Everyone laughed at that, Yuki got embarrassed and felt like her image got sunk in the pacific ocean.

"You became bold Yuki," Gakuto praised, "I like it, I will give you one last chance, if you fail this time then never even think about that again." As the talent was low he already gave up on her, he was just telling that so that she could be at least happy for a moment.

They all thought Yuki referred to herself as a man because she wanted to fight. In this place only men cultivate and women started recently 10 to 20 years back but they were rare to see.

That decision made everyone get surprised.

Yuki with confidence boasted, "A real man knows only how to face risks."

Everyone laughed again, she got embarrassed again.

"But tell me," Gakuto asked in curious, "why did you get this motivation so sudden?"

"That is a universal secret," Yuki proudly announced, "even if you are my old man, I can't tell you."

Gakuto got confused, "old man? You are talking weirdly after getting married," and gave her money.

Yuki with a joyful smile assured, "don't worry old man, in the future, you can proudly say that you are my father."

Gakuto felt embarrassed for her boasting and whispered, "Ok, ok. First, get out of here."

Yuki went away, so Akihiko asked, "Why are you encouraging her only to get disappointed." He was not against it, he just felt it would hurt again.

"I guess I am guilty of bringing her to this world," replied Gakuto feeling bad for all the trash talk Yuki got for her entire childhood.

Yuki was walking in the street. The streets were bustling with people shouting their special offers for their shops and people still bargaining to give more discounts. While looking at them Yuki felt a sense of pride that she could bargain more discounts and she was going to a clothing shop to prove it.

A 16 years old boy with his underlings was walking and noticed Yuki.

He went near Yuki, his name was Katsuki Nakamura.

"Hello Yuki," he called her in a lust-struck way, "congratulation on your marriage, did your night go well?" by looking at her bo... let's call it chest as it was flat as a wall.

Yuki was not conscious enough to know he was looking at the wrong place, as she was a man inside. She asked the system, 'who is he?'

'He is Katsuki Nakamura,' the system explained, 'who lusts over Yuki because he has a special thing for small girls. He is a pervert who does sex with particularly 13 to 15 years old girls by taking advantage of their family circumstances.

He also forced beautiful girls to have sex with him, he is pursuing Yuki for a few months but she rejected him strongly many times. His father is one of the guys who planned to poison you.'

Yuki widened her eyes in rage. She got Goosebumps just by thinking how miserable those girls and families must have felt, as soon as she heard that, she wanted to punch him and break his limbs but she knew her position so she didn't too the risk.

"Hey! Who gave you permission to call me by my name?" Yuki asked seriously. In her previous life, people would refer to others by surnames or use mister and miss or both.

Katsuki got confused as she usually sugar-coats words when talking to people for not getting into trouble for her family, "what did you say?" he asked in a condescending way to intimidate her.

"I said get out of my way you fucking bastard," Yuki intentionally provoked him to satisfy her momentary rage.

Katsuki got angry because she called him that in public, so he shouted, "How dare you call me a fucking bastard? Catch her, I want to teach her a lesson." (Here it meant raping her)

The 4 boys went to catch Yuki, she put a fighting stance and punched a boy in his stomach but the boy didn't get hurt at all.

Yuki got shocked because her punch was very weak, then she realized those boys must be cultivators. The boy smirked at her face because she couldn't hurt him. She took that chance and ran.

"You idiot, catch her," Katsuki yelled, "Why are you smirking?"

The people around didn't get interfered with that as they were scared of the families. In this world, strength decides almost everything. If a weak person got killed on the road no one would care. They would just throw the body out of town to not get stink.

'...There,' the system pointed out the Hoshi herbs and pill shop. Yuki stopped there while the boys stopped at a distance.

*pant pant*

She turned around and saw them while her chest and shoulders were moving up and down due to heavy breathing. Katsuki felt disappointed and went away as it was her family shop, if they try anything, they would be beaten.

The reason why Katsuki was so bold to chase her was that in this world there was no strict government, as his family was on par with her family if he rape her as long as he didn't left his house, the 2 families would have a war and then the government would stop it. So he would be safe.

The families should always be at their best, otherwise, they would get destroyed. So if something happened to a waste like Yuki, no one would care.

When she realized her position she clutched her right fist in indignation, even though she knew it was a different world, as a person from civilized society she couldn't overlook his deeds.

Then she realized her mood got disrupted, which meant she needed to beat Katsuki to get her usual joyful mood back, 'system, how can I beat him?'

'Through cultivation,' the system replied, 'you have to gather cosmos energy and use it to strengthen yourself and defeat them. The books you got will help you.'

She took a deep breath while rubbing her face to relax and a smile appeared on her pleasant face but there was still the lingering feeling of anger.

She went to buy dresses without wasting time thinking about her miserable state of weakness. She was a person who quench her emotions rather than building frustration, so her goal now was to become strong.

After she brought the dresses, she saw the accessories shop, got an idea, and went inside. After she brought what she wanted, she went back to her house.

Gakuto was still in the house so she took him to talk alone after the meeting, "old man, explain to me about martial arts, spirit and cultivation techniques."

Martial art and cultivation techniques had grades from 1 to 10 ranks, further divided into low, mid and high, they should be practiced according to the power of one's cultivation and using lower ranks would only waste energy while using higher ranks would consume most of the energy at once, which would give backlashes to the body. Their place didn't have spirit techniques.

An alchemist would have the power to materialize their spirit power to fight physically, which would be very powerful, that was the reason many people, even among cultivators and martial artists would fear and respect them.

"In our house, we only have rank 1, 2, 3 techniques and only the family head can learn the only rank 4 technique," Gakuto explained to encourage her, "If you can feel the cosmos energy I will train you personally."

"I will rule this world," she boasted to make him feel better. Here rule meant become strongest.

*hahahahaha* Gakuto laughed by thinking of it as a joke and said, "You don't need to rule the world, just be happy so that you won't make me worry." Yuki got mad for lowering her worth, while Gakuto went away ignoring her.

She felt little bad about how he would feel if he knew the real Yuki was dead.

She searched a place that was convenient and saw a tree in the corner of the garden. It looked convenient and she sat down there. As she needed to start cultivating, she took out the beginner cultivation technique and started reading it with system instructions.

After reading she learned, 'Ho! We have 72000 channels called nadis. 114 chakras, 2 of them are outside, 4 of them automatically become strong when we start with the remaining 108. Chakras are the loops formed by nadis of which 7 are important.

Those 7 are what people cultivate as essence. Now I got a better understanding of this, so let's start cultivation.' Then she got doubt and asked, 'Wait, this book said spiritual energy but we need to cultivate cosmos energy. System, what is this?'
