1st Pov Xicor Samiel:
The blinding rays of the sun force out of my slumber as I cover my eyes so they may adjust the light. Sleeping was decent but not the best since all I had was thin sheet from the window so it wasn't the best but it was something to sleep through the cold night, I even had to use my blood manipulation to raise my blood temperature so my body may stay warm until I fell asleep, which worked in both ways of increasing the mastery and getting me to sleep.
Surveying my surroundings, I find the same abandoned and degraded home of some previous family in ruins. Staying another night here would be risky due how close this place is to collapsing.
But where would I go, into the city? That will limit my use of my cursed energy and techniques due to how many people will see it so that's a no go.
Finding another abandoned house? That's if I find one and plus they will only be temporary due to people wanting to remove the place and make another fresh one for another family.
Last option is the woods, barely any people which will be perfect for training. I can hunt to replenish myself which will make recovery of blood manipulations drawback.
Thanks to my dad forcefully dragging me and my older brother to go camping as a little bonding experience, even though my brother and I initially didn't want to go, we found ourselves enjoying the full experience as well as gaining a few skills from it so I'll have a better time there than anywhere with money to buy things.
Getting off the ruined couch and flipping the thin sheet off me I walk around, seeing if I can find anything useful to take with me.
First, I went into the kitchen, seeing if I can find a knife to skin the animals I catch but without a hunting knife I'll have to stick to basic kitchen knives, while not good will still be something then using my hands and rocks.
Once I found I suitably knife I placed it on a table where I will organise the things I gather, walking around I found an old school backpack in a little storage room full of cleaning products and a mop.
All the food here is out of date, even the ones in the fridges and freezers due them being out of power. After gathering some other things like pain killers, tablets among other medicines in case I get ill.
Now I'm packing the stuff in the backpack but I'll need to put the knife in one of the backpacks pockets and hold on to a slightly better sheet that will help me sleep.
This is just a game of survival at this point within a world where woman and only woman gain powers by unknown means.
If I want to survive, I need to keep my abilities hidden until the time is necessary. Gain information as how women gain their powers, could it be that they are born with them but if that's the case how would twins of male and female work if they are passed on through birth?
I would have seen men use abilities if that was the case or I'm in an early stage of that theory. I will find my answers sooner or later once I get more power.

While messing around with my blood internally is slow to master the template, it's still progress. Sliding the backpack through my arms, I pick up the thin sheet and prepare to leave not before looking back at the almost destroyed house.
That house wasn't destroyed by a person or a group, more like a beast ran through it, might be those demons the president was talking about but I'll see them soon once I find one and fight it myself.
The day was busy with parents walking their children to school and adults either walking or driving to work, all of them have been casting me curious looks, although each gender had different reactions too me, as curious is just a common one. The men and children have been looking at me with concern and the women look at me with disgust.
That's probably due to my appearance, I haven't really had a good look at my face but feeling through my hair, I felt the grime and grease of barely being washed and looking down at my grey jumper and blue jeans, there are numerous patches of dirt and water.
I can imagine I smell horrible and people will start calling the police due to my unhealthy looks and smell, mistaking it for bad parenting, even though I don't know my parents in this world.
I change my pace to a jog, just to get away as fast as possible. In distance I spot the endless green forest, stretching far off, perfect for hiding and training in secret.
I could hear the sound of faint sirens behind me, great the locals called the police, just my luck. With no one around, I gathered cursed energy into my legs and jumped from roof to roof, gaining ground fast.
I did a massive leap into the forest as leaves and branches graze me. Not relaxing for a second, I run off further away as my body became a blur.
My body skidded across the ground almost slipping into a calm river with a steady stream, my breathing was quick as I've been running for what felt like hours.
Looking back where I came from I don't hear any sirens, people shouting or search dogs barking which is all go signs for me to say I finally got away and I'm now free from the shackles off society.
I could help but spread my arms out to the side with my palms pointing up to the clear sky and laughing hysterically.
Breathing out a breath of relief, I walk over to the waters edge with wobbly legs and collapse in my knees and dive my head in.
The calm sound of flowing water hitting my ears and its cold embrace. After a few seconds I bring my head out, gasping for breath before sitting down properly.
"Finally" I mumbled out as I gaze around the new environment almost like I'm in a dream that I don't want to wake up from.
Oh, how I missed this peaceful atmosphere of the outdoors, no wars, no politics, no greed, no lust, nothing to make this place a misery only balance.
I take off my bag and lean it against a rock before unloading the things I gathered that will come in handy for me.
I haven't eaten anything at all yet so I am very hungry, luckily there are some fish flowing down the river of various sizes and species as well as an apple tree on the opposite side of the river.
Walking over to the waters edge I pull up my jeans so the water doesn't soak them as well as my shoes and socks.
Stepping in, I test the water's current and found not too strong that will drag me away. Walking further I looked around trying to spot a good one to cook, I don't have any fishing gear so I'll have to do it the old fashioned way, with my hands.
I will get an enough grip to throw it to shore so it doesn't flop out of my palm and as a little bonus I'll use blood manipulation too increase my speed and strength in my muscles.
I zero in on one with a lot of fat, perfect for me. Getting down low, I bring my hands close and slower to the water's surface as to not startle them.
I can't rush this as this will need patience and precision. The river flows gently against my skin and the birds chirping enter my ears all giving me a sense of calmness.
The fish grew closer and closer to me, my arms twitch in anticipation but I force them to stop. Knowing full well that going straight at the fish will be a likely miss since the water's surface shows the fish in different position.
Adjusting my posture slightly I wait until the fish is slightly past my hands and flash my hands under the water towards the fish as water splashed everywhere.
I didn't think where the fish was going to go if it was startled as the primal need for something to eat is taking over.
I felt something soft yet hard on my hands and, without thinking, threw it to the shore. The fish flopped around in a panic but I left it there so I can quickly make a fire.
2 Hours Later:
I placed the final piece of fish in my mouth as I chewed down on it for a few seconds before swallowing it down. Sighing in delight I look up at the clear sky in slight daze.
I shook my head as I need to strengthen myself so my training arc begins. Getting into a meditative position, I mess around with my blood internally first such as raising my blood temperature, increase blood flow through my body.
Each little action with my blood manipulation rises the template by a little. Would fighting with blood manipulation rise the template faster?
Sadly, I don't have anything to fight considering there's no one to train with so I'll either stick with solo training or find animals to fire piercing bloods or other attacks.
Standing back up, I roll my arms a little before clapping my hands together before firing a piercing blood at a rock, doing minimal damage to it.
I don't feel any effects yet so I should continue firing them until I notice a change, I fired again at the same spot as more damage occurred on it.
I fired again and again over and over until I reached my 7th piercing blood that begun to notice my knees buckling.
I see, so 7 or more will become two risky, noted for the future. Choso had a wide range of moves he could exploit without needing to use his own blood but turning his own cursed energy into blood due to the death paintings he and his brothers have.
Seating down on the ground, I pick up a nearby apple and eat it. Since I'm not in optimal shape to continue using blood manipulation outwardly I can use it internally to either fix a wound, increase my blood flow so I can recover fast.
As well as train my cursed energy since I'll need it to bring my blood out of my body, if I had Sukuna's efficiency, the six eyes from a Gojo template or Hikari's Domain Expansion, my use in cursed energy will be astounding to the point where I'll barely lose no cursed energy at all.
But for now, I'll have to make do with self training. I play around with my cursed energy as the red and black flame danced around my hand.
It's form flickers around as I make it small and bigger , even going as far as bringing a small flame in my finger.
Would a simple domain be of use to me?
Doubtful since this isn't the jjk world and there are no domain expansions in this world, that I know of but even without knowing its best to be prepared then anything but world Sukuna's hollow wicker basket be better since I can move around more freely but at the cost of my cursed techniques being unusable while the barrier is up.
Each have their ups and their downs.
Simple domain places a circle of cursed energy that blocks out the sure-hit effect of a domain and I can use my cursed techniques in it.
Even if both have their ups and downs I'll still gain knowledge of how they work thanks to templates. Gaining Choso's template gave me knowledge of his moves and how he does it, if that's the case then I could get RTC from those who use it.
Speaking of Choso.

Not bad, if I can keep this up I may be able to fully complete the template within a month or a couple of weeks.
My main focus is fully mastering blood manipulation before moving to a new as I want the cursed energy reserves I get when I complete it.
I wonder who I will get next, I hope a strong and supportive template like Megumi for his ten shadows.
What should I do for my future?
As just completing all the templates will be a limited goal which will lead me to be bored, with so much power in my body and no one to use it against.
Finding a way back home?
I scoff internally to that thought, to this day there is no cursed technique that can allow me to travel between worlds, the only thing I can think of being close is the Creation technique.
That technique can create anything at the cost of cursed energy but that's just wishful thinking.
Falling in love?
Maybe but with my powers, people will see me as a freak, an abomination, a curse to this world of woman with abilities.
I fall on my back, staring up the sky with my body sprawled out. The only peaceful thing in this world and something I can reminisce about is nature, memories of my father and brother sitting around a fire sharing stories, mainly my dad.
But simultaneous, I'm afraid. Afraid that those memories will be gone until I can put a face to my own family.
At some point, I'll break down and there'll be no family member to comfort me. No motherly hugs that drive away all negative thoughts, no dirty jokes from my dad to bring a smile and laugh to my face and no provocations from my brother to distract myself from the day.
I'm alone and I'm not truly ready for it.
3rd Pov:
"And you said you saw a boy with tattoos on his face, black hair and red eyes run in which direction?" A woman police officer asked one of the witnesses that saw Xicor.
"He went in that direction, towards the forset" the witness said pointing in the direction where Xicor had ran off.
"I see, thank you for your time sir, we'll take it from here" the officer said.
The witness nodded and walking off. Watching the witnesses disappearing back the until he turned a corner. The officer brought up her walkie and press down on it, turning into the direction of the forest.
"We have a lead on subject Delta, he was last seen heading into the forest at my position, requesting back up" the officer reported.
"Good work, back up will be there within 2 hours, remember we are to take him alive" the walkie cackled through another woman's voice.
"Understood" the officer placed back the walkie, not taking her eyes from the forset.
Soon, Xicor will be tested against the world elements starting with agents of his unknown origin.
