『 The ??? Queen of the Giant Ant successfully tamed! 』

『 Level UP! 』

『 You had defeated the Boss of the Sixth Floor! 』

『 You can now ascend to the Seventh Floor, do you accept? YES/NO 』

"For now, no. I never think taming it is still considered as defeating it. Anyway, let's check the queen's status."

『 No Name Lv. 1 』

Race: Giant Ant Variant(Queen)

Title: The ??? Queen

HP: 30/30 MP: 50/50

STR: 7 INT: 10

AGI: 6 VIT: 6

AP: 0 』

"So, it's level has also been reset to 1 just like Raksha and Kuu, huh."

'But still, what's up with the question mark on the title? Heck, it has a title? I had never seen anything like this before, was it because it's a boss? So a queen is considered as a variant to their race, huh. That's a good piece of information.' thought Sheila while looking at the information window in front of her face. With all her experience combined, the only time she got the question mark is when her level is too low during the first meeting with the Earth Dragon. It was then that she realized that there are still people, or in this case, monster, way league than her.

But this and that are two different things. If there's a question mark on the title, there might be another reason to explain it. For example, she didn't have or reach the requirement, and so, she can't see/read it. Or maybe it's just another stuff that the system didn't want to tell her just yet. Just like its very Origin.

Ever since the day she had seen a glimpse of it, she did a lot of research, either on the internet or personally. However, no matter how hard she looked into it, she didn't find any useful information other than hoax and lies. She had this wild thought in mind upon thinking deeply about the matter and, without any solid proof, it is nothing but just her imagination at the end of the day. Though, she did have a feeling that she isn't wrong about it. It isn't purely out of her imagination, but something much deeper than that.

"No, I'll just stop it there. There's more important business at hand now."

Sheila muttered while looking at the 'No Name' section, the game-like window in her sight. Honestly, she had already come up with a name for the queen. After seeing how resolute and determinate it is, a name just clicked inside her mind. For the previous two names, Raksha and Kuu, she did plenty of research before finding a suitable one for them. But this time, the name just sprouted inside her mind and disappeared soon after. If she didn't have the photographic memory, she might have forgotten about it.

No, even having a photographic memory doesn't mean she remembers, literally everything. Everything she had seen and experienced did store up inside her brain but, when she wants to find a certain memory among the endless memories, she needs to look it up herself. That's why there is also a time where she forgets stuff. At the end of it, her brain is still that of an average human, not a computer specialized in containing the database. Even on the internet where it has all kinds of information, if you want to find something, you have to look it up. It doesn't magically appear on your browser.

Turning off the window with a thought, Sheila turned her head toward the rune note in her hand. On the center of the note surrounded by magical runes, there was an identical picture of the queen along with her soldiers. It was just as she thought, the moment the soldiers disappeared along with the queen, she did have a feeling it might turn out like this, however, to see it becoming true is still quite unexpected. She can't help but also wonder if she tried doing the same to the other Boss, would it have the same result?

Either way, it is time for the naming ceremony. With a thought, Sheila threw the note in her hand to the ground, and thus, appeared the queen. The moment the queen saw Sheila in her sight, she immediately lowered her head like what a person would do when facing their king. She's an ant though, a queen of giant ant to be exact. Why would a queen of a race, bow down her head at her? 'I don't know! Heck, you tell me instead! I mean, I understand that I'm her master and all, but I don't think that would make her bow down to me. Raksha and Kuu never act like this at all. What would her soldiers react if they saw her like this? I don't think it would be a good sight, that's for sure.'

"I thought you would be angrier at me for killing your soldiers...huh? You're fine with that? But aren't you, their queen? You don't care about your status? ...Alright, whatever."

Sheila said as she heaved a sigh. It was only a moment later did she realized what had just transpired.

"Wait, did I just...have a conversation with...you?"

The Queen nodded her head in response to her words. Sheila widens her eyes in shock, she couldn't believe that the giant ant in front of her eyes actually understood her words, and even replied with confidence. Earlier, when she had given an offer before the queen surrender herself, sheila learned that the latter can only read the intention in words but not understanding the word itself. That was already pretty shocking, as expected of a boss. But imagine conversing with one, that's pretty ridiculous of thought, isn't it? If she ever told about this to Ria, without a doubt, it would only make the latter look at her with a strange gaze, before shrugging off as her being weird.

"You...understood my word, truly?"

Once again, the Queen nodded her head in affirmative. 'Boss is awesome.' thought Sheila.

***

After exiting the Trial Tower on her own, leaving her tamed monsters behind, Sheila immediately looks down at the time on the screen of her phone and realized that her mother should be downstairs by now, making lunch. Speaking of food, her stomach started grumbling like crazy the moment she thought about it.

'Oh. I had been eating snacks while I was in the Trial Tower, wasn't I? My mind was preoccupied with clearing the floor that I didn't bother eating something heavy, or rich with nutrients, which was stored right in my inventory. I was prepared for everything yet...' She heaved a sigh before deciding to head downstairs for lunch.

"Hmm? Hey, how are you doing?"

When Sheila arrived in the living room, rather than watching the TV, she saw Ria playing a game on her laptop, seated on the sofa. Seeing how focused she is, Sheila shook her head before putting her hand on the latter's shoulder, which immediately caused Ria to turned her head toward her.

"I thought you would be studying by now, but who would have thought you would choose a game over it? I'm proud of you."

"Wipe that smug off your face. I've turned out like this is exactly your fault in the first place. Anyways, I already studied enough and decided to take a break, playing a game or two."

"Mhm. Don't worry, I believe in your excuses."

"You...sigh."

Ria heaved a defeated sigh and decided to cast her hopeless friend aside, focus more on the game instead. Not minding the reaction toward her, Sheila finds herself seated next to Ria, before pulling the phone out of her pocket to check on her status. No matter how many times she looked at the detail beside the attributes, she feels like it's making fun of her. Sheila had thought the stronger she becomes, the detail beside the attributes might change, but boy, she was wrong.

Detail: Congratulations, you are now officially a Monster. 』

'Look at that! My intelligence is so high, but it still called me stupid! I'm not idiot, your whole family is an idiot! What the hell is 'Zanic'? Is it supposed to be that blue and crazily fast creature? I do like the game but, never in my entire life did I ever looked up to it. No offense. And my injuries indeed heal much faster than before, but that does not mean that the pain didn't affect me at all. A painful thing is a painful thing, nothing much and nothing less. And finally, you admit that my luck isn't actually blessed by the Goddess, did ya?! What do you think, huh?!' Sheila couldn't help but retort every time she came across something she finds utterly unbelievable. But she got to admit that the system really got the skill to agro her for sure.

"...You know that I'm technically still here, right? I can clearly see your frustrated(amazing) expression on your face. I couldn't focus(almost laugh at your face) on the game like this, so what's the problem?"

"Is it just me or that there's another meaning in your words? Well, it's not much of a problem, per se. But still, it irritated me to no end. Look at this for yourself."

Sheila muttered in a sour tone before showing Ria the cause of her frustration at the moment. It didn't take long, however, before the latter couldn't help herself and laugh without any self-restraint, ignoring the pouting Sheila next to her. Perhaps, she had enough of it that Ria finally calmed down five minutes later.

"That's one heck of a system you have. I wonder what kind of things would be written on description when you increased your stats. Hopefully, it would be a lot funnier than the current one."

"No. It would be a GREAT HELP to me if it disappeared completely. After all, it is nothing but bullcrap anyway."

Ria giggles at her best friend, whom had a look on her face like a person wanting their stalker to disappear as soon as possible. Like Sheila had said, the description only added vanilla into it, other than that, it is useless. But with this, her speculation of someone, a human working behind the system, is indeed plausible. Before Ria could think further, however, she and Sheila were called out by Sara when the latter walks into the living room.

"Oh my, so you two were here. You must be hungry, right? The lunch is ready."

Even before Sheila could say anything, her stomach started grumbling like a monster, answering the question in her place. With a flushed face due to embarrassment, she and Ria followed her mother back to the dining room in silence. During the time they were eating, neither of them spoke due to culture. It was only when Sara finished first did she opened her mouth and announce a piece of good news.
