Darkness pressed against Miyu Arashira's eyelids.
Something warm… wet… and horribly smelly dripped onto her cheek.
Her first reaction upon awakening in another world was not panic.
Not fear.
But—
"...Ew."
Her tiny hand wiped the drool off her face.
Her nose wrinkled.
When she finally opened her eyes, she found herself face-to-face with—
A gigantic demonic tiger, its fangs dripping poison, breath reeking of rot.
Its fur was tangled with dried blood.
Its roar shook the earth.
Miyu blinked twice.
Then frowned.
"You're dirty."
The demon tiger froze.
Behind it, hundreds of beasts—shadow wolves, horned apes, molten serpents—watched her.
This was the Abyss of Ten Thousand Beasts, the deadliest place in the Murim world.
Miyu pinched her nose.
"…Dirty. Smelly. Ugly."
Her eyebrow twitched.
And then—
✨ CLEAN FREAK MODE: ACTIVATED ✨
A golden shockwave erupted from her tiny body.
Poison fog evaporated.
Rotting corpses dissolved.
Bloodstains vanished.
Mud hardened into polished stone.
The demon tiger's fur puffed up like a fluffy housecat.
The beasts screamed.
"Wh-WHAT IS THIS POWER?!"
"WE'RE BEING SCRUBBED ALIVE!!"
"STOP, WE'RE TOO SHINY!!"
Miyu ignored them.
She picked up a stick.
> [UPGRADE SKILL ACTIVATED]
[TWIG → CELESTIAL CLEANING STAFF OF ANNIHILATION]
A divine weapon appeared in her hand.
She stared at it blankly.
"...Mop."
Then she dropped it, curled up beside it with her pillow, and fell asleep again.
All demonic beasts knelt.
"D-Don't move!"
"Sh-She'll wake up!!"
"We protect! We protect the small ancestor!!"
Even the Abyss held its breath.

✨ A Sleeping Catastrophe Wanders
As Miyu slept, she slowly began to float.
Still hugging her pillow.
Still sleeping.
Still dangerous.
She drifted out of the Abyss.
Each bump of her foot shattered boulders.
Each exhale purified the land.
Each sleepy shift caused earthquakes.
Nearby travelers screamed as mountains exploded.
"She's destroying the world in her sleep!!!"
"RUN!"
Miyu floated on, unaware.
Leaving behind a path of destruction… and cleanliness.

✨ Dustwind Hidden Valley Sect
Far away, in a tiny valley, a poor sect struggled to survive.
Dustwind Hidden Valley Sect
The weakest sect in Murim.
Leaky roofs, broken walls, cabbage fields for income.
Sect Master Gu Wenhai sighed.
"At this rate, our sect will die by winter…"
Jin Haru tripped over a cabbage.
Lin Ruyin patted his back.
"We still have hope, Sect Master…"
Until—
RUMBLE—!!!
A glowing ball of light plummeted from the sky.
"It's coming toward the cabbage patch!!"
"TAKE COVER!!"
BOOOOOM!
Cabbages flew like fireworks.
When the dust cleared—
A tiny girl lay sleeping in the crater.
Glowing faintly.
Breathing softly.
Pillow in her arms.
The disciples stared.
"A fairy child…?"
"A spirit?"
"An immortal?"
Miyu shifted.
BOOM.
A wave of pure energy washed over the valley.
Buildings repaired.
Fields flourished.
Spiritual veins awakened.
Even the outhouse became holy.
Gu Wenhai trembled.
"A divine omen… a miracle…"
He fell to his knees.
"From this day forward… she is our Honored Ancestor!"

✨ The Ancestor Wakes
Morning light spilled into the valley.
Miyu's eyes slowly opened.
She sat up, sleepy, hugging her pillow.
"...Where…?"
Gu Wenhai bowed.
"O Great One! Welcome to Dustwind Hidden Valley Sect!"
Jin Haru threw himself onto the ground.
"PLEASE DON'T KILL US!"
Miyu blinked.
Then looked around.
Dirty tiles.
Dusty floor.
A speck of dirt on her pillow.
Her eyebrow twitched.
"…Dirty."
✨ CLEAN FREAK MODE: ACTIVATED ✨
The sect braced for death—
BOOOOM!!!
Everything became spotless.
The ground turned jade-like.
The buildings gleamed.
The disciples were scrubbed shiny.
Lin Ruyin touched her cheek.
"I-I look like a goddess…"
Gu Wenhai kowtowed.
"Forgive us, Ancestor! We shall clean it ourselves!!"
Miyu lowered her hand.
"…Okay."
The sect collapsed in relief.
Gu Wenhai trembled.
"May we know your name, O Great One?"
She blinked.
"…Miyu."
The disciples' hearts shook.
"Miyu-sama?"
"No! Call her Ancestor!"
Everyone slammed their heads into the ground as one.
"WE GREET SUPREME ANCESTOR MIYU!!"
Miyu just whispered:
"…I want a clean bed."
"WE'LL BUILD TEN!!"
Thus began the rise of the world's weakest sect…
with the world's strongest, sleepiest, cleanest ancestor.
