Suffering From Success, Using Reversal was a Cheat

It started when Gladiia and the two Pokemons got home. The trio walk to the living seeing Liliana and the two furball like rabbit drinking while watching a survival competition of beastmaster that had just entered college, a channel from a different world yet they are discussing and betting who's gonna win or take the 1st place.

Gladiia: I'm back, can I join?

Chopin and Lex move to the table facing the back of Soel and Larg that is sitting on it. Liliana looked at her sister and said, dad said it's bad to learn gambling yet we still do small betting sessions like this and that so who's your pick. Ah, greet big sis and wash up 1st, you stinks even though you had to use cleaning skills to cleanse up, I can still smell it.

Gladiia scratched her cheeks and shifted her gaze in the kitchen that being isolated by a barrier, this made her confused.

Slowly walking and entering the barrier that was setup but only seeing her big sister standing in a stool to level herself from a table next to a customized stove. Wearing an apron, tying her hair and wearing a black bandana, holding a bloody knife cutting an unknown tentacle of a creature connected to her inventory, the dead being was big enough to be placed in the entire kitchen. The boiling wok with hot oil was making noise, the other marinated part she had finished preparing a while ago for deep fried was being controlled by her mental power, floating and pouring it to be cooked.

Gladiia: Nee-san I'm back? seeing her Nameless stops and hop down the stool making a T pose. Gladiia sighed, she walked and hugged her.

Nameless: My hand is still bloody, I'm already finished cooking. Just making some snacks that are compatible with the drinks that I had made when i'm in the restaurant. You go change, I am also going to join watching the thing that the others are watching now because it seems interesting. 

Gladiia nodded and walked straight to her room. It was not on the 2nd floor but was just the 1st room next to the living room. Upon entering, she froze and her PC was turned on, she blinked and saw it then she shouted out loud AHHHH.

Everyone only looks at her room. Nameless: one of those two did something again.

A minute Liliana muttered because everyone felt Gladiia isolated her room. A time confinement, a minute can be a day, a week, a month, a year, a decade or a chaos year. 

Larg: Suffering from success because of the hobby she picked up, modeling that includes a job making figurines.

Soel: Every world there are people who love character figurines, customize or multi manufactured for display. Any idea who sneak up on her room.

Pika pika "one of the two, taking a revenge because they been losing completely to any game or being beat up in their training if master trainer give the session to little Gladiia"

Munch "Should we help?"

Liliana: Better not, a job is a job we can only help if she asks for it. Right sis.

Everyone looked at Nameless that almost in their area, multiple buckets of snacks, wine gourds and bottles were floating around her.

Nameless: Let's wait and see, that hobby she had picked up was also a part of weaving mastery. She asks me a lot, especially when I'm making those stuffed toys and etc. A hobby or expertise in a certain thing can be used as a weapon too, everyone knows it in the family. She sat next to Liliana, one by one that food had slowly delivered in table where Soel and Larg is, occupying the whole space and some are landed to the mat. Giving a bucket of chicken to Liliana and she added: this tournament. It's normal right, not a world with a story that the MC was always gonna win?

Liliana: Of course, you can check if you want. See everyone had a beast or monster partner par with every contestant. It will depend on their luck on how to survive on that island where the competition is being held.

Nameless opens up the panel connected to that world, selecting the events happening and checking every contestant. Ordinary one to be highly supported.

Nameless: So everyone was already selected, yet no one replied to her on how focused they are in watching. 

Soel: No cheating.

Nameless: I know I know. 

A few minutes after she had selected, turning off the panel shifted her gaze to the large blue screen that was divided to view nor floating mechanical beasts to be a camera to observe every contestant. One of the seeded players collide to another that made the screen cut in half.

Everyone in the living room was so concentrated, sometimes Chopin jumps if the person she selected overtake entering top 5, Lex next to her was nervous he had picked a betting category that the person he picked was to enter top 20. This program was long in that world but from them it will only take hours.

...…

Tobi walks in to the living yet he pauses, Grand and Koko joining the small watch party. His eyes were focused on a certain daughter of his that was wrapped in a small size futon turning herself like an eggroll because her red glint of eyes were focused not to him but to the two he was carrying. 

Tobi looked down and muttered: Specter you did something right of course Skadi is an accomplice. The moment he said that Specter who's ready to jump out the boat and Skadi that sleeping disappeared, same with Galdiia.

Scratching his head while walking and sitting in a soft chair.

Putting back the carrier to his inventory Tobi asks: What did the two do again? Is it really safe that their actual body entered that dream?

Nameless: It's fine, I improved it to the extent that a hunter will never ever die nor lose sanity because of the pain if they were killed in the test multiple times or seeing the fallen entities that I created yet I gave Gladiia the ability to modify those beings. Oh, one of them opens up Gladiia's PC and turns on her website, indicating her business is open to receive requests in making models and figurines. You know what the next situation right dad Gladiia is out hunting for a week yet Tobi only nods like he gets what happened.

Liliana: Suffering from success, so do we continue watching this competition or check the three? 

Nameless snaps her fingers the screen changes to where the three was now.

...…

Specter Somersault landed on the floor like an athlete, Skadi for some reason slowly landed with a thud. Specter looked around, the huge white round room was messy because of white roots that grew overtime filling around the walls and floor. Soon she heard a voice turning around in the big roundtable, in the top was Gladiia that was still covered with her futon only those red eyes were fixed to them.

Gladiia: Wake Skadi up, Specter. 

Specter grabbed Skadi and started shaking then calling her name until she opened up her eyes.

Skadi: Dinner? Yet she looks at Specter, sweating, then looks around until her eyes stop at Gladiia. I see, I know it already so what's the deal? She stretched up facing Gladiia, Specter did it yet I didn't tell her what you hated the most sis it was overworked.

Gladiia: Dunno why you didn't stop her, for the two of you to be out of this expansion you need to kill a boss, just a boss both of you can choose in the large door outside of this room. She moved so fast that the two didn't react by inserting her Nen-Qi in their body.

Specter: Another limiter, you want us to fight in tier 1? wait why everything inside of me was in reverse? I don't have reverse meridians? Yet she didn't get any answer to Gladiia that suddenly pulled a huge model toy hammer.

Skadi ignores Specter just to walk to those treasure chests or storage. A few more seconds later she said: don't add more trouble, let us just finish this and you are the one at fault here. Do you think sis never put something in her room, a surveillance if someone did a thing.

Specter scratches her head to play dumb yet a small hand in the wrapped futon pops out holding a phone. A video of Gladiia's room, no one can see who turned on her pc but put a little Nen-Qi in the phone the video altered showing a perpetrator who in concealment did it.

Specter: ha ha, Ok I did it. pouting her cheeks she walks to an old crate where Skadi is but sis can you just release the aura that put in us yet She didn't receive a reply, tsk.

Gladiia only watches the two in finding their own designated weapon. 

Skadi stands up and faces Gladiia: weapons like this will just break in one use for me, no smithing stone nor anything that can upgrade so it is ok for me to make my own. The energy that you put on us makes our body stay in tier 1, the minimum usage of power is right. She snaps her fingers and the weapons in the chests that she was checking a while ago float bursting to dust, mixing, turning to an ingot then reshaping its own turning to two sizes of weapon. A sword that was like a short sword and a small dagger, picking both and examining it she said to them, I'm good then she moved to a certain corner to practice waving it.

Specter on the other side shrugged yet she still did the same creating an halberd that made Gladiia confuse.

Gladiia: not making a whirligig saw? 

Specter: This one is fine nee-san, my saw is only for use as my main weapon if I am hunting something, I still classify it as a weapon used to smash enemies that's why I created this.

Gladiia: Go on now that the two of you had a weapon, I'll just stay here until the two of you killed a boss and if that happens us three will be back in reality, it's really still early for the two of you to enter the dream.

Before Skadi asked about the dream both felt a power repulsing them out the room.

The two look at each other yet both of them cannot even see the place where they were a while ago. They turned around to survey the area, they were in a wreck bridge that was enveloped by the white branches and the end of it was a large double door made of unknown materials.

Skadi: Let's go.

Specter: Sis do you need some sword sheaths? She was looking at the two weapons floating around her yet she nodded. 

Both arrived in front of the door. A panel appeared indicating what being they will fight and what difficulty it is.

Specter: Same method right, she looks at Skadi. She started to count from 3 - 1 "Janken Pon" She had picked scissors making her lose at Skadi lazy picking rock.

Skadi didn't look at her but to the panel, she had chosen random and picked the nightmare difficulty. I push this one and you push the other, ignoring the roulette that choosing their enemy both pushes the door exactly. The arrow in roulette pointed to the being yet they had already opened up the big door. Without looking at the result both entered, Gladiia who was at the table pops out her head. A tired face, eyebags can be seen, a habit of her turning off her sleep resistance while working or when she was at home, she really overworked herself. She checks what enemy they will fight, she pauses yet she smiles. The name of the being was Gladius, Difficulty: Nightmare, Tier 10, Race Rank: Mythical - Mutated.

IRL 

All the guardian family beasts were standby, they all busy doing their own things. 

Tobi saw Gladiia covered herself whole again with her futon he said: She looks tired? how about pulling her out of the dream. 

Nameless: It's better for her to rest at that place, the time inside was quite different than reality.

Liliana: Are we going to watch them? How about the tournament? I had a hunch that the candidate that I'd pick will win. 

Nameless flicks her fingers dividing the screen. Did you finish betting dad? She knows Liliana betted a lot on that seeded player yet no one among them followed.

Tobi: Still looking yet his eyes keep shifting at the tournament and to his two troublesome daughters.

...…

The two were now running against something in this desert domain expansion, it should be night but the boundless horizon was composed of darkness and red lights. The illumination in the sky was from the creature's aura that was chasing and attacking the two.

It started the moment the two entered that door.

Skadi: A domain, I don't see the enemy yet she expanded her EN but still she didn't pick up something.

Specter: Something is not right, She felt the heat keep increasing so she looked up then she saw it. Pointing at the sky she called Skadi, nee-san above us.

Skadi looked up and she saw a sun no. It was an orb that slowly broke, the cracking sound and cracks leaking a pressure like gravity aim to them. Both had taken a blocking stance to withstand it, the bright heat wave hit the two only hearing a large sound of something that a huge creature landed in the desert ground.

A few seconds the two were able to see the being. Canine creature, 9 heads that looks like a wolf yet there is a resemblance of being a fox, 9 tails, a chain collar divided to three and the end of it was three huge sword being carried on its back, black fur then the head of the creature there was symbols indicating that their enemy grasp different elemental attributes yet its main was still fire. It talks with deterrence, those 9 heads are sync but each has different attitudes. Ah humans again disturbing and entering my domain to look for treasures. its gazes were fixed at them even one of those heads had a silly funny look on it.

Specter: We are cooked, wut kind of monster did you pick? yet she was in a fighting stance.

Skadi: Random, highest difficulty this will be fun with a little pain in it.

Specter: Bakero, you fighting maniac. You said you wanted to end it fast and now it is impossible.

Skadi: Let's do this. Use flow concept for the energy that big sis inserted to us not to hinder us in fighting.

The being charged at them, the moment Skadi was ready to embrace and fight the enemy, Specter shouts "RUN" leaving her in that spot even though they both know there is no escape yet Skadi still follows.

The creature chases, it was fast and the precision in using its claws to strike the two was fatal yet the two dodge it easily but of course it will release a multi crescent slashes if it misses the target.

Skadi: why are we running and dodging, it will not solve a thing. They move in Z shake and use different footwork if the creature changes its attack pattern.

Specter: let's make a strategy 1st, do you think we can just use brute for that thing. Look here one of its heads deployed multi barriers already. A sudden force pushes her.

Skadi detected the attacks, she immediately pushed Specter then turned around to deflect the incoming attacks. The huge swords connected to chains equipped by the beast, a downward slash and the two swords in different direction slashes.

Using the short sword to parry the downward slash next to her spot, the impact created a crevice and the burst of sand moves up sending her upward yet she use the force to gain a momentum then with it she directly deflects the two slashes back using her dagger to the beast yet she saw the creature heads, their mouth was aimed at her with amplified magic circles stacked to a fold.

One of its heads, its eyes glint. Skadi wanted to negate it yet it's too late a gravity manipulation to pin her down. She understood that the other heads had evil eyes, the huge sword next to her was being rectrated by the beast and the two swords that she shot back were now floating in midair. It was psychic. Telekinesis, fixing the tip of each sword at Skadi ready for a piercing strike. Coated by an unknown sword aura for each sword and the elemental burst of magic rain upon her. 

Everything happened in a flash. Someone appeared at the top of the beast, her back now had virtual wings made of aura. Going for a plunge, hammering the halberd at the main head yet the barrier blocks it, Specter breaks three of it that made the beast change its target to her. The beast moves back a little creating a space to redirect the different elemental attack to her.

Specter flaps her wings then she moves the halberd like it was a propeller to block the attacks, putting enough aura to withstand it. A few more seconds later, she moves away to dodge each attack. Flying in the sky she called Skadi.

Nee-san still alive? yet after the dust around the area where Skadi was subside she saw her. 

Skadi was confronting the swords, Parrying and dodging yet each sword seemed to be alive or one of the beast heads was manipulating it. showing different sword techniques against her seems out of this world, like the beast was a trained sword master. Sword intent was sharp, a little wrong movement it will be a critical and fatal strike for the opponent yet this will not work at Skadi who had a high level tier of sword attainment. 

Even with that small body of her facing massive swords she easily deflects and negates the sharpness of the enemies sword intent. Countering the untraceable slashes with her own sword art.

The beast is quite capable in multitasking because of its heads, running around firing projectiles at Specter yet this creature stops, the main head roared echoes in the expansion.

A massive momentum, the creature's body suddenly engulfed with flame and shots in different directions. 4 huge fireballs trying to corner Specter while the other 5 rushes in the spot where Skadi was. The three of those 5 fireballs catch the three separate swords that had been parried by Skadi.

The flame subsided showing 9 massive canine creatures.

8 of these creatures are the same size and one was bigger than any of it, the main body.

4 and the main body was locked on to Skadi, 2 and the main body of the creature were holding those three huge swords with their mouths while the other 2 were just there to add to this chaotic fight. Each creature was now in their designated elements, the main body aura was like the sun yet Skadi was able to maintain her body temperature, she looked at the two who wielded swords, one was lightning and other was light or holy. As for the two at the back were shadow and earth.

It started the moment each creature charged at her, the three who wields swords their weapon was radiating with intent, their body was being enhanced by their element.

The one with the earth attribute, its claws was coated by a reddish aura while the other with darkness element, it governs shadows sneakily disappearing waiting to strike at Skadi if there was a blind spot or an opening, a typical assassin.

Skadi Nen-Qi was totally deployed to the maximum usage in tier 1. Among the 5 the fastest to enter her attacking range was the creature whose whole body was being buffed by lightning.

Parrying its sword, her aura negated the sword intent and lighting dmg from it then changing the attack to hit the other wolf-like creature that emerged in a flash of light, its movement was creating untraceable sword slashes. A mutilation, a consecutive critical strike but before the two wolves collide to each other the terrain change separating the two and soon a huge flatten wall appeared at her back and spike shots in different direction, the wall crack dropping at her yet Skadi pick up the wolf in the shadows rushing at her, traveling using the shade of the dropping wall. It kept jumping to the shadows of the earth spike, the mutilation slashes made of light were still visible in the air yet it suddenly moved, turning to needles, aiming and shooting at her. An all out attack without no escape but the main body still not making a n actual attack.

On her spot, a meter circled around her. The sand suddenly moved up, turning to a hardened hand to bind her yet in the moment every attack connected, entering a 12 mm radius that was almost going to touch her multi layer aura Nen-Qi sheath, having a small area to move and seconds to respond. Her father always said, if you cannot dodge then learn to block nor to parry it. Maybe it is not an attack but a consecutive yet just swing it hard, you just need to trust your guts and the weapon you're holding to withstand the force you unleash.

Her aura turned black and white, everything was so slow yet. Renewal arts, Cosmic Breath Skadi Original Series 143: Self-destructive Purge - Execution. A double movement using both the weapon she had equips, from a powerful charge thrust that eliminates what's in front of her, a double vertical impact down the sand aiming at the shadow wolf yet it manage to survive switching or transferring itself to the shadow of the main body but still takes damages from Skadi Sword Intent. A sword upward slash followed by the dagger creating multi-fast energy slashes that can cut anything, ending with a complete blade dance that a class called blade dancer does a sweeping movement around her. The attacks that should have arrived at her never happened, everything was obliterated yet Skadi pauses, her lock in to her enemies disturb. A massive sandstorm ate her, she was in the middle without any visual or anything to see. The plushie in her head didn't activate even though her anger slowly built because of her hunger, the move she just did made her use some energy. This also made her understand that the plushie was restricted not to do anything now at her, she was free to rampage if she wanted to. 

The sandstorm was not even regular, intense lighting cracking sound, red, black and white light mixing on it. Those were the creatures moving at high speed. Skadi knew it was a direct deadly confrontation, nothing can be seen so she had no choice but to close her eyes for the sand not to enter and damage it, using only her senses and aura Nen-Qi to perceive every attack from the enemies. She dodge, she rolls, she ducks, attacks with a piercing stab, fatal slashes and then counter parry. Even though she was doing chip damage to the body gaps of each monster, it's enough for her. An end game tactic, these creatures cannot accept what's happening on how a little mortal pest was able to keep up in their speed, penetrating their fur like it was nothing, hardened skin that even a dragon strike and breath in the same tier cannot damage. Howling echoes inside the sandstorm, the wolf that using Holy created more virtual weapons yet each of it was being broken when it collided with Skadi's weapon. The main body summoned countless meteorites from above directly mixing at the storm yet before it even landed nor exploded, it was cut to pieces. Their claws and those huge swords that imbued with their powers and intent that can wreak havoc to anything nor to cut several mountains in one stroke never reaches Skadi, it slowly crumbled yet the wolves didn't stop because they could see Skadi's weapons had already been destroyed, pieces were dropping but something amiss in this situation. Their instinct was screaming that something was coming, their regeneration was being slowed by something on the cuts or wounds they received.

...…

Specter Side before Skadi was swallowed by an area sand storm. She was fighting 4 wolves with the typing of Ice, Space, Water, Psychic.

Mirror images made of water and ice ganging up on her with the originals strike when they had seen a blind spot yet Specter was also using it as a feint, using the halberd launching consecutive Sky Strike knocking the those huge duplicate into the sky follow up by strong double stabs using the sharp tip of her weapon with her aura creating an image of multi lance piercing and destroying the mirror images. She instantly created a couple aura shields to withstand the claw attacks of the 4 real wolves and also used the force to maneuver her body before their attack destroyed the last layer of it. Having a little space she moves forwards, launches herself for a counter "Shark Rising from the Sea" and flings out a huge Shark image opening its maw created from her aura Nen-Qi, weapon intent and any powers available in her disposal. This attack launches itself from the tip of her halberd, one of the wolves didn't back down to dodge. Charging its claws it made a double strike in the air and in front of the charging shark a ripping sound was created, a void claw strikes trying to block nor to destroy it. This wolf didn't stop, using one of its nails to cut the void entering and appearing at the back of Specter ready to bite her yet she was able to respond. Ah quite predictable, She was pushed back and her eyes that always had a laziness on it were now changed to serious ones.

Psychic wolf was having a hard time, trying to use telekinesis nor its mental power to control, manipulate or disturb Specter body movement. It decides itself to be a support, buffing the others. 

The buff runs in a loop, Specter notices that she instantly attacks them. Amplifying her aura and magic energy in the axe part of the halberd, she makes a jump and hits the ground. The unleashing crack caused by her attack travels in instant, bursting the sand until it reaches the target, dealing a huge Aoe Damage and knockback effects where it breaks forth penetrating the enemy defense, sending earth and sand flying, it was an attack called shattering the lands. The wolves withstands in, using their authority to make their move. The rainy weather in a hot desert started making her wet yet the climates changed so fast, a cold wind froze the falling rain droplets and all the wet area froze. An absolute zero attack making her frozen, the mental energy from the other wolf maneuvers the ice needles to aim and shoot at her. The other wolf keeps showering Specter void severing strike while the one who cast the rain summon multiple water polos like tornado to grind the little mortal yet a laughter with deterrence in their area shakes them.

Ah you four really is a bad match for me. Ice melted and the rain stopped, the water gathered in her halberd then detaching out of it forming again a different size shark yet it had more out of it, 6 eyes and some appendages protruding out. She flickered aim at the support, she may be small appearing below the large wolf and the materialized shark was like her shadow. "A shark rising out of its head" this wolf was butchered to half by the shark maw that was now ascending up to the sky, it was fast that the wolves didn't have time to react yet the three. The air around them became more fiercer like it was a buff when one the 9 were killed. A space distortion, confinement and a multi void slashes was set to the materialized shark. The void wolf didn't stop creating a space dilations constrict where Specter was, the water and ice wolf howls creating a combo yet with another follow up from the space type wolf the three created a semi artificial void storm directed to her.

Withstanding the space that trying to flatten her in the spot she shouted out loud "Sacrificium" her pupils turned to golden cross and without lifting her hand up in the sky a huge bright golden cross that can cover her nor the whole area drops this also disintegrated the shark she had materialize that had been chop up by the space confinement.

The three wolves redirected their attack at the cross falling from the sky yet they perceived it was not just one but a couple that had been stacked up. Using the authority of space, this wolf had bent the space to change the stack of cross direction up to help the storm.

The three wolves didn't notice her, Eh using space like it was a reverse gravity yet that one was just a distraction. Appearing at the top of the three wolves that catching their breath after pushing up her attack, Specter was spinning the halberd with ease like she was charging something until she holds in with her two hands aiming at the head of the wolf who governs space, the axe blade of the halberd vibrated. An ultimate smash, a strong AoE full contact yet it failed. The three wolves were smashed nope it was elementalization, the body was changed to ice and liquid even though the area was now a mess. The pieces gathered in a location not far away from her, the ice wolf also knocked out exhaustion yet the water wolf healed it. The wolves saw her wiping the blood on her lips, a confusing situation because they know they didn't damage her to that extent.

Using powerful moves had a toll to a tier 1 body. Even though she uses flow concept to balance the powers inside of her that Gladiia disrupts. The reversal concept was like a cheat, it made everything normal like it was built to revert an entity on what he/she really is. The bitter taste of blood makes her cough and after that she wipes the trace of blood in her lips with her thumb.

She was different from her siblings, she can learn everything, copy or not, making it her own like she was a perfect jack of all trades master of none this causes her having hard to get an enlightenment in one path but she never stops, never envy Gladiia randomly enlightens multiple times an hour or day, not like Skadi who maintain her sword path that keeps improving day by day nor her two elder sisters that beyond comprehension. She felt something and same with the three wolves, all of them shifted their gaze at the far away sandstorm.

A huge force cleared the sandstorm revealing the 5 huge battered wolves surrounding Skadi that standing holding a newly made two handed sword, her messy appearance is quite awkward. 

Specter: What kind of sword is that? Upon appraisal the sword is quite normal yet its name was so simple. A replica, A moonlight blade half complete.
