My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

”Black earth churns with the Earth Escape’s might,In Kansas, golden waves roll out of sight.Winter wheat tides to a strange vault flow,Durham’s white fields to the Profound Sect go.The Ginseng King Breathed for thirty years’ grace,An Amber Flowing Light for sixty years’ space.The carrier shrinks to a mustard seed’s size,For the coming ice age, Heaven and Earth I prize.”

Li Xiang was particularly satisfied with the last two lines. The first one referred to storing strategic resources, and the second hinted at the deeper meaning of his preparations for the Apocalypse. The whole poem had a grand, majestic feel, as if spanning Heaven and Earth.

Of course, that was just his own opinion. In reality, it was just so-so.

”Master, your talent is unparalleled. Yuki is truly in awe. Master, please look—”

Chiba Yuki suddenly leaned forward, her breath as fragrant as an orchid as she pointed to the edge of the pool.

A bamboo fountain clacked against the rock wall, and the dislodged cherry blossom petals coalesced in mid-air, forming the lines of the poem ”North American Sketches.”

Red Wisdom’s Folding Fan gave off a purple glow, coating each inky character in a flowing, mirage-like light.

”Yuki will be sure to copy it down, frame it in my bedroom, and recite it every night before sleep.”

’Damn, what a suck-up,’ Li Xiang thought, feeling giddy with pleasure.

”If Master is interested, you could also compose a poem on Yuki’s body,” Chiba Yuki said, lowering her gaze shyly.
