Our High School Days

Two loner nerds, one connection. Min Hui might be cold and quiet, but she is fiercely opinionated and confident. She believes that all she needs is her and herself only. That is until she meets Xu Zi Quan. Alike but different, they connect on a whole new level. Through a slow burn strangers-to-friends-to-lovers romance, they get closer. Xu Zi Quan is quiet and even logical as well, but also emotional and soft, clashing with Min Hui's clean-cut outlook on life. Are they too different, or can they make it work? Note: -Content Warning: slight swearing (otherwise for general audiences) -written in traditional book style -chapters are usually more than 1,000 and less than 2,000 words -55% romance and 45% slice of life -character development is prioritized over plot -both leads are deeply flawed -Min Hui's Pov (plenty of inner monologue) -when I say slow burn, I mean slow burn -Min Hui is an INTJ female and Xu Zi Quan is an INFJ male. (Myers Briggs) -An INTJ female and an INFJ male is the rarest pair possible. This is because the rarest personality type is INFJ, and within that, males are even more uncommon. The second rarest is INTJ, which has less woman than men. Together, they are incredibly scarce. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ About me in particular: -I happen to be an INTJ female, so I can authentically represent one. -Because of that, I thought why not give the rarest pairing a try? Who better than me to write one? Writing process: Each chapter usually gets about 2-3 sittings. The first lasting about 3ish hours and the second tends to be half that. If it is a particularly difficult chapter, maybe be even a third sitting. So, expect chapters every 2-4 days. Of course, unforeseen circumstances can occur, so thanks for your patience!

My SSS Rank System

***his life had never been worse, hopeless, miserable...and alone. until he heard the sound... That small sound, like the chiming of a bell, Ding! Yes, that's the one, the sound that changed his life.*** He had always been the weakest. Laughed at by the villagers. Scorned by the hunters. Ignored by the world. Born without magic in a land where even children could tame flames or speak to beasts, Kael was a mistake in everyone’s eyes. He couldn't lift a training sword, summon a familiar, or even sense mana. Not even a flicker. Not even a spark. Not until the day the world cracked open before him. That day, rain poured like the sky wept for him. He knelt beside his sister’s broken pendant, the last thing he had of her. Mud caked his fingers. Blood stained the ground. And then— That sound. So soft, so sudden, it cut through the storm. Ding! A chime. A bell, bright and delicate, like hope itself. > [Congratulations, Host. You have been selected by the SSS Rank System.] [Initialization begins…] His breath caught. His heart skipped. And the sky— The sky stopped crying. From that moment, Kael was no longer the weakest. He just hadn't awakened yet. ***The world of Aerthrial is steeped in mana, spirit beasts, and ancient legacies. Power is everything—measured in Ranks (F to SSS). Guilds protect the world, magic academies train the elite, and the strongest become Archons—those who command dragons, bend space, or rewrite fate. No one has ever possessed an SSS Rank System. Until now.*** **** Main Character: Name: Kael Ardyn Age: 15 (at start) Background: Orphan, magicless, often bullied. His sister died protecting him from a beast raid, and he carries her pendant. Core Trait: Empathetic and underestimated—kind but sharp, and he slowly gains tactical brilliance. Goal: Become strong enough to change the broken world that scorned the weak. System Core Mechanics: SSS Rank System: Grants Kael access to a unique tiered skill tree, beast contracts, evolution paths, and system quests. Has both active abilities (combat) and passive blessings (intuition, mana growth). As Kael emotionally evolves, the System itself evolves, gaining sentience over time. Also hides an ancient “Truth Protocol”—
