[Douluo Dalu] Reborn and Surrounded by Hopeless Romantics

[No serialization contract for the complete story, updates may be slow]

What is a Martial Soul?

It is a tool, a blade of war, and a half of oneself that awakens and stays with a person for life, inseparable and impossible to cast aside. Some say Martial Souls have a degree of self-awareness.

When the bond between a Soul Master and their Martial Soul falls out of balance, that awareness becomes a raging flood, like a jarring, discordant note in a symphony.

Whether it is the mournful cry of an injured Beast Martial Soul or the sorrowful lament of a weapon Martial Soul gathering dust, you alone, in all the world, can easily discern these sounds and soothe them back into harmony.

And so Spirit Hall bestowed upon you the title of "Conductor."

Spirit Hall built you a sacred tower reaching to the heavens. The Golden Generation approached you step by step. "Miss Conductor, nothing in this tower can hurt you."

The next second, you gave each of the siblings a solid mental spike and pinned them to the desk. Smiling serenely, you said, "What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"

The young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan chattered on and on in front of you. "I don't like you! I really don't! It's just that my tail has a mind of its own... What did you just put in my drink?"

You (coldly): "Hot water. Add whatever you want to it."

Your classmates from Shrek clung to you, demanding a definite answer. "You like us better, right? Right? Right?"

You, who had worked without pay ever since awakening your Martial Soul, thought it over seriously and asked earnestly, "Could you start paying me from now on?"

Miss Conductor, Miss Conductor, Miss Conductor.

All kinds of "I want to get closer" desires surrounded you. Even when their owners did their best to hold back, their Martial Souls gave them away.

You: "Boys who need tuning, line up on the left. Girls on the right. Don't crowd or cut in line. If you don't need tuning, please leave on your own (get out), okay? Great ^ ^"

[Inspired by the Sentinel-Guide setting. Martial Souls = spirit forms. Lots of headcanons. The story follows the main cast but favors the Blue Lightning clan, so the Yu brothers will get a lot of promotion, and there will be Shrek Nine Devils scenes.]

[Second-person otome story, written to indulge my tastes. All canon pairings will be broken up, and there will be a lot of power dynamics.]

[My take on a universally beloved heroine includes romantic, friendly, and familial affection. Aside from other characters having unrequited feelings for the protagonist, there won't be any other romantic storylines.]

[You are Miss Conductor, a universally beloved heroine who looks frail but becomes a formidable fighter later on. The title was inspired by Nero calling the protagonist "Conductor" in FE. It's just a title, so feel free to substitute a name.]

Theme: Better to die than live without freedom
