Magical Journey: The Other Shore Blooms on the Other Shore

One-year-old Qin is unusually obese. How can I describe it? It's like a big ball with another small ball on top of it. If you look closely at the small ball, you can clearly see a human face, but you can hardly see the eyes.

Now at least everyone in the orphanage knows that Qin carries some kind of curse, and that curse's effect is to drastically increase the conversion rate of sugar. It's a curse that makes people extremely prone to obesity.

Ultimately, excess sugar will transform into a kind of poison—leading to the death of the host.

In a short time, Qin went from being useless to being an obese useless person.

It's hilarious no matter how you look at it, isn't it?

People in orphanages become more friendly because they share the same plight.

Stop making this international joke. They're all children abandoned by fate, so why don't these children just compete with each other in this group that's rejected by fate?

After all, hardworking children can at least afford a luxury like cookies.

Qin was naturally the one who was isolated and ostracized, because he was not only useless, but also born with an ominous curse, and who knows if this curse was contagious.

Just being near someone with such a flabby, overweight body is enough to send chills down your spine.

Some mischievous children with nothing to do would kick Qin in the butt when he wasn't looking, and the chubby Qin would naturally fall down and roll like a ball, while making wailing noises.

This is one of the few forms of entertainment these orphans have.

Yes, the weak will only swing their swords at the weaker ones; this is human nature, at least in Beatrice.

Darkness is magnified infinitely in this distorted environment. When people adapt to this darkness and take it for granted, perhaps this darkness will turn into light.

The light we've grown accustomed to.

Orphanages are common buildings in Beatrice because there are so many orphans, either because of accidents (after all, it is not uncommon for houses to collapse under the weight of snow) or because they are abandoned (the poor who cannot afford to raise children still have them, which is also a common occurrence).

In short, the orphanages, like iconic buildings in Beatrice, stand along the main streets of Beatrice.

Most orphanages have side businesses.

You know, although the government subsidies can support so many orphans, it's not profitable. So what's the point of running an orphanage?

Therefore, Xuewei chose to turn a blind eye to the side businesses behind the orphanage, and fundamentally, this was even beneficial to the country.

The so-called side hustle, simply put, is related to the color industry.

Orphanage directors usually keep penniless women, who may have lost their husbands or grown up in orphanages, but they all have one thing in common: they are mostly good-looking.

Some sexually frustrated beasts can come to one of the orphanages to choose sexual tools to satisfy their desires, which is a huge profit.

You can't even imagine how much money you can make from it. There's a saying in Beatrice that goes like this: "Orphanages are the best money-making machines."

Specifically, the money the director alone amassed could probably sustain the entire orphanage's operation, not to mention the high-ranking officials and dignitaries behind him.

The pregnant women's children were left in the orphanage after giving birth, with the hope that these orphans would create value for the orphanage in the future.

This forms a complete chain.

The Empress and Snow Guard gained national stability. After all, those lustful and depraved nobles would probably stop causing trouble in their politics once they satisfied their sexual desires, and some of the orphans might even become talented magicians.

The dean and high-ranking officials amassed wealth.

Those beasts satisfied their desires.

They all have a bright future.

So what about those women of the night?

Who cares? In this cannibalistic country, no one cares about the weak.

It's true that women have a higher status than men, but you still need to have value. There are girls in the world who aren't gifted in magic. If you lack value, then an orphanage will allow you to realize yours.

It is foreseeable that Qin grew up in such an environment, being bullied during the day and having to endure the screams of women at night.

However, at that time, Qin didn't have many other thoughts in mind. Her only thought was to find a way to lose weight, so that she wouldn't be used as a football anymore.

He was cowardly, but in fact, he couldn't do anything at all.

Who can fly against the wind in such an environment? To bully all those who bully their own children? — If you are the one being isolated, why wait if you start hitting them too early?

To be fair, he was cowardly, but there were extenuating circumstances.

Any weakness is understandable in such a cannibalistic environment. After all, Beatrice's national character is one of strength, and the spider lily on its coat of arms symbolizes that. How can a flower that can bloom in such wind and snow not be a symbol of strength?

At the same time, the red spider lily also symbolizes death—death is a very common thing in Beatrice.

Through Qin's tireless efforts, she finally transformed from a ball-shaped fat person into a fat person.

Only Qin herself knows how she has gotten through these days. She has to endure spasms from her stomach every moment, and often suffers from insomnia at night because the hunger keeps her from sleeping at all.

With the soft moans still lingering in my ears until the wee hours of the morning, no one could possibly fall asleep comfortably under such circumstances.

Therefore, Qin naturally developed the idea of ​​committing suicide.

As I've said, any weakness is tolerable in this country that symbolizes strength, and death is a common sight in Beatrice.

People are not important to Beatrice. Aren't there many children born unexpectedly every day? Waste is replaced and replaced, and only under external pressure can a northern country like Beatrice continue to prosper.

Only the elite can survive here.

Weak people are not welcome here, whether you come here voluntarily or involuntarily.

No matter how weak you are, Beatrice treats everyone equally.

But Qin didn't die in the end. On the night he decided to commit suicide, he was called to the director's office and sold. So from then on, he no longer had to stay in the orphanage.

And his buyer, no one would believe it, was none other than the famous Professor Slater, a C-rank Snow Guard. His glory and strength were recognized throughout the country. In fact, he was the one who invented the incubation chamber used for newborn babies.

Since then, Jean has been transferred to Slater's secret base and placed under strict surveillance to carry out Professor Slater's research, the research known as the magical monster. Jean naturally had no right to refuse, or to put it more accurately, he had lost the right to choose from the day he was born.

The above is the story of Qin before she was three years old. Although it seems tragic, she was just one of the many people in Beatrice's life, and her life was probably a little more miserable than most of them.

But no matter what, this is only the beginning of the story, not the end or conclusion of the tragedy.
