[Post-apocalyptic + growth-oriented heroine + decisive and ruthless + strong female lead + no romance]
Abandoned in the Beast Zone at ten, she was sold into the beast arena at thirteen.
After struggling for nine years, she left with the dying wish of her only friend in prison.
She set out for the last place of hope on the planet, two hundred years after the apocalypse.
In her short life of twenty-one years, half her memories were missing.
Her origins were a mystery, and she had no one to rely on.
She didn't even have an ability.
But what she was best at was betting her life.
--
No abilities? She had over a decade of combat experience and knew the traits of most mutated beasts. Even against ability users, she could hold her own.
No resources? Then she'd turn the Beast Zone upside down, taking missions like crazy 365 days a year. There was nothing she couldn't do, only things you couldn't imagine.
Food shortage?
Sorry, that was the one problem that didn't apply to her.
While the artificial food produced in the Land of Hope had become humanity's only means of survival,
Jiu Shi was living more freely than anyone else.
--
Others: I haven't had meat in ages. If only mutated beasts were edible.
Jiu Shi: Mutant beef hot pot really is delicious!
Others: The higher a mutated beast's rank, the more poisonous it is. Be careful.
Jiu Shi: What! I can't believe an SSS-rank mutated beast tastes this good!
Jiu Shi never hid when she ate. After all, nobody dared try to take her food.
There was no need to stockpile food or anything like that.
Coming to the Beast Zone was like coming to a free buffet!
