"Walid" The Supreme Idiot

Narration:-the Return of the Fool

Walid had barely slept, his mind buzzing with thoughts of the Jade Blossom Sect and its many secrets. Each whispering breeze in his small, dimly-lit room seemed to carry another part of the puzzle. He had been imprisoned like a rat, a useless fool in their eyes—though in his defense, he had no idea how he'd ended up in such a situation.

The Strange Elder's Visit

As dawn broke, the wooden door creaked open. The light filtered in through the cracks, and in the doorway stood Elder Yanyu. She had an air of elegance, her silvery hair flowing like a waterfall, but her expression was unreadable.

"You," she spoke, her voice cold and direct. "Come with me."

Walid glanced up from the floor, his eyes heavy from lack of sleep.

"Come with you? I thought I was stuck here to rot..."

Elder Yanyu's eyes narrowed, and the pressure in the room shifted. Walid could almost feel the weight of her gaze piercing him.

"This isn't about punishment," she said, almost with a touch of disdain. "It's about your role here."

Walid sat up straighter, curiosity edging out his exhaustion.

"Role? What role? I'm just a human kid who got stuck here by accident!"

Yanyu didn't answer immediately. Instead, she turned and gestured for him to follow.

"Come. There's someone you need to meet."The Sect Mistress' Request

They walked through the grand halls of the sect, and despite Walid's size, it felt like an eternity. The ornate pillars, the glowing lanterns, and the distant sounds of spiritual energies being trained in the courtyard all made Walid feel smaller, more out of place.

After what seemed like hours, they finally reached a vast chamber, more ornate than any room Walid had seen so far. It was illuminated by soft, ethereal light, and at the far end stood the Sect Mistress, her aura more dreadful than ever.

Walid gulped.

"W-wait, you're not going to... I don't know... dissect me or something, are you?"

Elder Yanyu glared at him, her voice low and stern.

"No more games, child. You will answer for your actions, or you will not leave here alive."

Walid sweat beads formed on his forehead, but he didn't show it. He'd learned something over the last few days—play dumb, and they'll underestimate you. It had worked before.

He turned to face the Sect Mistress.

"Uh... listen, I didn't ask for this! I'm just... lost? I don't know why I'm here, okay?"

The Sect Mistress finally spoke, her voice cool but not unkind.

"There are many here who will underestimate you, child. They see you as a fool—a mere curiosity. But I see something else."

Walid blinked in confusion.

"Wait, you do?"

The Sect Mistress didn't answer right away. Instead, she took a step forward, her eyes glowing with power.

"Yes. And it's time we figured out why you are here. Not for your sake, but for ours. You are not the only one with a strange power."The Unwanted Powers

For the first time, Walid felt like he was at the center of something much bigger than his ridiculous situation. The Sect Mistress's piercing gaze locked on him.

"I don't know why you're here, Walid, but you have unseen potential. The shapeshifting is one thing, but there's something more. You are a wild card, and if you remain in this sect, you may cause something... catastrophic."

Walid's throat ran dry.

"Catastrophic?!"

Elder Yanyu stared down at him, clearly intrigued, but with a hint of caution in her eyes.

"What the Mistress says is true. You may be a fool, but you're also something different. Not many can transform at will. Not even demons possess such fickle control over their form. The fact that you could change into a snake... means you may be something else entirely."

Walid's mind raced. This was the first time anyone had mentioned anything specific about his transformation. He still didn't understand it himself, but it was becoming painfully clear that he was tangled in something far more dangerous than he could handle.

The System's Increasing Frustration

As if on cue, the System piped in, its voice dripping with frustration.

🔊 [SYSTEM: DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TROUBLE YOU'VE CAUSED FOR ME, WALID?! DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE STUCK WITH A HOST WHO CAN'T EVEN USE HIS ABILITIES PROPERLY?! 😩💥]

Walid rolled his eyes.

"I'm not even sure what abilities you're talking about. You never teach me anything!"

🔊 [SYSTEM: I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIX THIS. BUT YOU WON'T LET ME HELP YOU! YOU'RE LIKE A WILD HORSE. 🐎😤]

Walid sighed dramatically.

"Right. Wild horse. Totally makes sense. Could you stop whining for a second?"A Chance for Survival?

The Sect Mistress regarded the chaos unfolding inside Walid's head with an unreadable expression.

"We have decided. You will serve as an apprentice under Elder Yanyu."

Walid's eyes widened.

"Wait, what? Apprentice? To her?"

Yanyu simply nodded, her face unreadable.

"Yes. You will serve me. And in return, you may learn the ways of the sect. We might even help you unlock your abilities—if you prove you are worth our time."

Walid didn't know whether to be thrilled or terrified.

"A-alright... I mean, I guess I'll try my best?"System's Final Tantrum

As Walid tried to process the chaos around him, the System continued to murmur in his head.

🔊 [SYSTEM: I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M STUCK WITH YOU. WHAT A NIGHTMARE. YOU'RE GOING TO RUIN EVERYTHING. 😤]

Walid let out a dramatic sigh.

"Look, System. I'm trying, okay? But I didn't ask for this. You didn't exactly train me on how to use the magic or shapeshifting! You just left me to figure it out!"

🔊 [SYSTEM: I CAN'T EVEN WITH YOU. YOU'RE LITERALLY GOING TO BRING THE WHOLE SECT DOWN WITH YOUR STUPIDITY. 😑]

Walid grinned.

"I don't know, maybe I'll surprise you for once. Just watch. I'll make it out of this… somehow."

The Sect Mistress gave a sharp look to Elder Yanyu, signaling the end of the conversation.

"We'll see about that. Now go."Epilogue: New Beginnings

As Walid was escorted to his new quarters, he couldn't shake the feeling that he was stuck in the middle of a much larger game. The Jade Blossom Sect was full of mysteries, and it was becoming clearer that his presence wasn't an accident.

"What did I get myself into...?"

With the System cursing him and the Sect Mistress watching him closely, Walid couldn't help but wonder if he was on the edge of something far darker than he'd ever imagined.

But one thing was certain—his life was about to change in ways he couldn't begin to understand.
