[This story is a slow burn! Slow burn! Slow burn!]
Ghosts and monsters have returned, and the people are in despair.
The world believes the gods disappeared long ago into the river of history, but mysterious beings are once again walking among humanity:
The Tide Saintess, who stills tsunamis; the White Deer Goddess, who heals the sick and wounded; the Moonlight Divine Messenger, who patrols the night; the Crimson Flame God of War, who judges demons and evil spirits.
Er Ya once thought her greatest wish was for her mother to stop hurting her hands when doing laundry, and for her family to live a little better.
But when one garment after another, each imbued with mysterious power, appeared before her, she gradually realized that some things could only be done by her...
Years later, with ten thousand ghosts loose upon the world and chaos everywhere,
as people knelt to worship the descending gods,
Er Ya, hiding behind the crowd, looked guilty. "What if I told you... those gods all appeared because I changed outfits? Would you believe me?"
I love stories with both a world of ghosts and monsters and a dress-up system. Sadly, no great author had combined these two elements, so I had to write it myself. (doge)
Note: A growing-up story with a heartwarming, everyday feel.
Story features: a little girl protagonist, a dress-up system, a world of monsters, tales of the strange and local folklore, a seaside fishing village
Chaotic Version: Blurb Two
The world has changed. Yin forces have returned, and demons and evil spirits are running rampant.
Everyone is struggling desperately to survive, but Mai Er Ya has bound herself to a strange [Miracle Ghost-and-Monster Dress-Up System].
(System: What ghost? I'm a Dress-Up System, Children's Edition!)
While everyone else trembles in terror before evil spirits...
She puts on the four-star [Dawn's Blazing Sun], and divine sunlight bursts from her, purifying everything around her.
When powerful cultivators (villagers) are driven to the brink by a peerless demon...
She dons the five-star [Tidal Rhythm], casually summons an endless ocean, and calls down thunder from the heavens!
In the eyes of the world, she's a mysterious, infinitely powerful immortal descended from heaven, a Saintess here to save the world.
But only Er Ya knows the truth:
"Boohoo... System, this monster is terrifying! Don't you have an outfit with a higher defense rating?!"
[Mini Scene]
One day, ten thousand ghosts surrounded the city, and heaven and earth changed color.
In the midst of despair, a forest fairy in a white veil and the [Emerald Waters, Forest Refuge] outfit came striding in on a beam of light. With one move, [Dewdrop's Grace], she saved every injured person in the city.
The cultivators (who were actually just villagers) were overwhelmed with gratitude and knelt, begging to know the immortal maiden's name.
The fairy clutched the little seashell hidden in her sleeve, trembling, and mumbled in a clear child's voice:
"I... I'm just an eleven-year-old cowherd (fisher girl). I really don't know how to fight..."
