14 Alice in the wonderland!

A middle-aged man with a white beard was wearing luxurious but simple clothes sat on the right side of a bed. The bed was colorfully decorated in pink color and the entire room was so creatively designed that any girl would give anything to sleep a night in that room.

On the bed, a breath-taking 18-year-old princess was saying her final goodbye to her father who was the current ruler of a powerful nation in the blue moon martial world. The king had long forgotten about his status and started tearing up.

The king and queen had no children for a long time and eventually when they had a girl, god must have played a cruel joke on them as the girl was born with a terminal disease. The queen went into a severe depression soon and died with regret. The king traveled far and wide, consulted countless doctors and magicians but to no avail. Eventually, the day had come for the father and daughter pair to say their final goodbye.

"Dad, if there is another life I would like to be your daughter again. You have given me all the love in the world and I am very grateful. Thank you." a final tear slowly fell from her eyes before it was closed for eternity.

Alice's father Mark held his daughter's hand tightly but when he felt her hand turn cold, his heart ached so much that he couldn't even breathe. No parent wants to see their child die in front of them even the king of a powerful nation was not an exception.

"Alice ..." Mark's voice was so soft but it took all his energy to say that. He was in his prime year but suddenly he looked as if he had aged a lot. Over the years all his hairs turned white because of the pain, sorrow, and frustration of not being able to do anything.

Mark's shoulder drooped like a deflated balloon. After his wife's death, to encourage his daughter to not give up, he had tried to be positive in front of his daughter. But deep down he was scared like any other father in his place.

'All these years I have lived only for your sake Alice, but now, you also left me to meet your mother. I see no point in continuing my life here anymore. I will also join you in a moment.'

Just as Mark was about to take his own life he heard a voice that he thought would never hear in his life again.

"Dad…"

Mark just sat there like a statue with a stupefied expression. He didn't know whether it was real or a dream. He just felt his daughter's hand go cold but now she was back? Mark asked tentatively,

"Alice? Are you still alive? Or am I dead?"

Alice didn't know what to say and covered her beautiful mouth with her jade hands and giggled.

"Dad, stop joking! Do you want to see your only daughter die so much?"

Mark shook his head fiercely "No…no …but I saw…"

Alice felt weak and said, "Dad I am a little tired can I take a nap before we talk again?"

Mark agreed readily. His daughter's wish was his wish all his life. Even if she asked him to die at the moment he would do that with a smile. His love for his daughter was much that if it's measured using a pile of gold, it would definitively reach the sky itself.

Mark departed her room absent-mindedly. Alice suddenly opened her eyes and sat up with a disbelief return all over her face. She couldn't believe that she would get a second chance in her life.

"I have reincarnated in a different world!"

Alice jumped out of her bed and looked in the mirror beside her bed.

"So beautiful! Is this me?" Alice touched all over her face. She got her previous owner's memory and realized that she was the princess in a powerful country ruled by her father. Although she saw that her skin was pale it couldn't in any way hide her beauty.

It took her half an hour to organize her memories and eventually she calmed down. She remembered that in every novel she had read in her previous life there would be something called a system to care for the lead character. To not let down her expectations. Suddenly she heard,

[System initializing …..1%….2%]

.

.

[Congratulations host, soul harvesting system has been successfully installed]

Alice gasped in surprise. She was not used to all these things. Just in a matter of a few days, her life changed upside down. Even now she was not sure whether it was all in her dream or everything was real.

[Congratulations host, you have gained a welcome gift. Please check in your system inventory]

Alice clicked the system inventory and a notification popped up.

[Congratulations host, you have gained soul-body dual nourishing fruit]

[Soul-body dual nourishing fruit: All the body illness would be recovered and the consumer's soul would be strengthened making it suitable for soul cultivation]

Alice couldn't believe that such a magical fruit actually existed in the world. Without further thinking, she popped it in her mouth and gulped it in two, three bites. Alice was sure that she had never tasted a fruit that was tastier than that. Without realizing she smacked her lips again and again for an aftertaste.

Within a few minutes, the fruit started to display its power. All her tiredness disappeared into thin air. Her skin started glowing like a newborn baby. Her soul felt rejuvenated as if it had experienced a bath of spring breeze. Alice closed her eyes involuntarily and moaned in delight.

"Finally I am all new! Thanks to the system I no longer have to worry about the cursed illness that took the previous owner's life. Although I pity the fate of the previous owner I have to live well to keep her father alive. This would be my way of thanking her. From today onwards I am his daughter and he is my father."

Alice adjusted her mindset and completely accepted the new situation. When she just took over the new body, she saw how devastated Mark was. She was pretty sure that if it was 5 minutes late, Mark would have committed suicide. Fortunately, she imitated Alice at the right time using her memories.

Slowly Alice grasped the basics of the system. Being a very smart student in her previous life, gaining initial mastery over the system interface was a child's play for her. Finally, she summarized her system.

"This system wants me to walk in a path of soul cultivation by harvesting souls. I would get rewards by harvesting souls and collecting soul treasures. It's pretty simple. According to the memory, this new planet values body cultivation. Warriors are respected where ever they go. Although magic is not developed much, it is still present with the main purpose of healing.

The soul is important for magicians and if I walk on the path of soul cultivation naturally I have to choose magician class. With the help of the system, I can be a powerful magician within a short period of time. Since magic is not developed much here, I would become the pioneer of this world if I could reach greater heights in soul cultivation."

Alice's eyes twinkled with boundless ambition. She loved challenges in her previous life and it would be the same in her current world too. Regarding the expenses of magicians, she really didn't care. After all, she was the princess of a powerful country and the daughter of the strongest man on the planet. What treasures she can't get? What resources she can't use?

"Hehe, I am looking forward to the future"

"Looks like Alice is very happy! Good, good…all is well if she is happy." Leo who was currently looking at Alice using the system portal interface started smiling ear to ear.

Everything was his set up including the place of her birth. He even converted 2 sin crystals to give her a welcome gift. Leo's big source of income was finally placed in its right place. He could sit back enjoy the live stream and count his crystals.

"Hell with potion hall! I can earn without lifting my finger and that too with zero risk. Why would I go do a menial job in the potion hall? Why would I do that stupid entry mission? Alice, be a good girl and send me soul gifts and soul treasures as soon as possible. As you rule your world I would also rule my world using money."

Leo's blood boiled and all his previous frustrations dissipated like a cloud of smoke. He really was frustrated leading a poor life. Even in his previous life, he had to live every day with compromise. Initially, the underworld also felt suffocating without money.

"Not anymore! Let it be God or Buddha, I will smack everyone with a pile of crystals."
