"Are you okay, Ria?"

Sheila worriedly asked while looking at the pale complexion on Ria's face as she gives a pat in the back. Right after Ria had beheaded the goblin in one sweep, she suddenly vomited on the ground. The scene of goblin's head rolling on the ground might have given her a huge impact than Sheila had expected. It's understandable as even Sheila almost puked after looking at the aftermath in the alleyway back then. Even though the goblin in the Trial Tower seems real yet not due to how it would be shattered to dust after being slain, it could still hurt you and potentially dying in their hand. 

When Ria looked back at the dead goblin turning to dust before disappearing, her complexion seems to get better, yet Sheila could tell the impact was still hard for Ria to handle it on her own. It appears that Sheila mindset is more firm than her. 

"I-I'm..fine... I just need a rest."

"Alright, let's take a rest outside for some fresh air."

"Mhm, that sounds good."

The two then retreated to the outside before propping down near a tree and sat on the blanket that Sheila had laid on the ground. Sheila didn't forget to bring a certain amount of food from the inventory out for them to eat while enjoying the calm breeze. Seeing the opportunity, Sheila decides to bring the topic she had been waiting for as she opened her mouth and said. 

"Ria? You remember that I told you I got the Faceless Mask from the Lottery, right?"

Although she didn't expect for Sheila to bring out such a random topic suddenly, Ria nodded her head in response. 

"Actually, among all the loot I had received from the lottery, there's one that I didn't know what should I do with it. Do you want to see?"

"Hmm? But can't you tell what it was by that analyse thing from the system?"

"That's the reason I was conflicted. I'll show you and explain why."

Suddenly, a golden snake-like scale egg at the size of bigger than their head materialise in front of the two before it was laid down by Sheila. Ria was surprised at how big this weird looking egg is; she had thought Sheila would bring out an item instead of an egg. When her finger touches the golden scale, Ria could feel how smooth the scale is from the touch than she had expected. After having touched all over the egg with her hands while analysing it with her eyes, Ria looked up and said. 

"So, what sort of egg is this?"

"That's what I wanted to know the most. The information on its name only showed as '??? Egg', even the further details was all question mark. No matter what I do, I can't get any more information than that."

"I thought the system you have is too convenient and powerful, but it has some weakness too, I see. But what is your opinion on this?"

"I thought it would hatch whatever that was inside of it after I pulled it out of the inventory, but as you can see, nothing happened. And as far as I know, I can't store a living being inside my inventory when I found out by having some experiment on the ants."

"Does that mean that this is infertile egg?"

"...I hope not. Maybe there's some sort of requirement for hatching the egg like what I saw in games."

"There's such thing in the game? But would it really be like that? This is a reality which differs than the gaming world, which was all data. But then again, the status did show one strength as a digit."

"Yes, or maybe it is not the time yet. Whatever it is, I couldn't do anything right now and just let store it in my inventory until I found a way to hatch it."

Sheila said before putting the egg back into the inventory and resume eating the snack that was levitating to her front as Ria stares at it with a curious and exasperated look on her face. Couldn't hold her curiosity, Ria tries to grab the floating snack, but it dodges her hand to the side as Sheila looked at her.

"Do you have some sort of telekinesis skill?"

"I do, this skill is also one of the loot that I have gotten from the lottery. I couldn't make use of it in actual combat just yet since it couldn't carry an item that is too heavy and the fact that its movement is still restricted."

Sheila casually said while using her mind to grab the chip in the bag before it 'flew' into her mouth. Because she could only move one object at a time, Sheila holds onto the bag while she was using her mind to pick up the chips. If anything, it looks like the chips 'willingly' flew into his mouth on their own from Ria's perspective. Ria couldn't help but feel envious, yet she knows that she definitely couldn't learn it even if Sheila could buy it in the system's shop. Ria started to dislike the restriction that was imposed on class, but she couldn't do anything and only complain about it internally. But one day, when Sheila come to know the origin of the system, she might be able to remove the restriction. At that time, Ria wonders what her future would be.

"Let's go."

Ria suddenly said as she gets up on her feet with a determined look on her face. Sheila nodded her head before putting everything back into the inventory and followed right behind Ria. After that, it seems that Ria has gotten better at controlling her urge from vomiting seeing the goblin she had slain one by one, and finally getting used to it. While Sheila was watching Ria fighting against the goblin, she appears to be deep in thought.

The very reason she didn't want Cilia to be included in her unordinary life is due to this exact thing that plagued by all people once they experienced in killing something that looks the same as them, a 'humanoid' being. Sheila didn't want Ria to get 'used' to doing something like this; she would rather walk by herself in this path filled with death. Sheila knows that she would likely have to fight against someone, perhaps a human into a kill or be killed situation. If what she saw in the nightmare hold some credible, then the world would have turned into a world where strong prey the weak which it would make it much harder for those who were just ordinary without any special ability.

The only way to survive from such world is by getting stronger before the inevitable; this is the reason why she brings Cilia into this whole new world just in preparation for that. There's no way Sheila by herself could protect all her loves one; after all, she is just a single person. That's why Sheila aims to create an entire organisation that would listen to her and took her place to minimise the damage that might happen to the world in the future. Although she only cares about her loves one, Sheila also wanted to protect the current society no matter how corrupted it had become. In truth, she doesn't want the entertainment that she enjoys so much to disappeared from the face of the earth. 

Although it looks like she put the problem aside for others to handle, she didn't care much since it's never her business to take care of the whole world just because she has the ability to do so. What with power comes responsibility, no way in hell did she believe in such hypocrite saying. She could only give them a hand and let those who wanted to do justice thing or be a hero by giving them the power they desired. Let those who wanted to do it willingly, while she would mind her own business.

But to find such people that fits the requirement in this modern world is kind of hard. 

"Sheila?"

"Yes?"

When she heard her name being called, Sheila immediately went to Ria as the latter had just slain another goblin with ease after getting used to their attack pattern. Ria put the sword back into inventory before saying.

"I think I had enough for today."

"Well, it's already been three hours. Alright, you head back first, I've got something else to do in here."

Ria raised her eyebrows, but she didn't ask anything and closed her eyes to exit the Trial Tower. After seeing the figure of Ria disappearing, Sheila immediately teleports a distance away from the silver-white haired girl who was currently battling against a group of slimes. Seeing that Sylvia didn't have any problem in dealing with them, Sheila nodded her head and decided to wait for the fights to end. Ten minutes later, Sylvia finally ends by destroying the core of the last slime with her Fatal Strike. 

When Sheila steps forward without hiding her presence, Sylvia turned back in a defensive position, but when she look who it was caused her shoulders to be at ease.

"How are you doing so far, Sylvia?"

"Umm, I...had leveled up to 5..just now."

"Oh, that's good. Then—"

Sheila was about to continue when her eyes caught onto something which caused her to frown. Sylvia noticed her gaze, and when she followed it, she looked down before trying to make the excuse that she got the bruises from a fall. 

"Don't lie to me; it was her right?"

"No no, it's not from my mother, I got it from the fall!"

"I didn't specifically say it was your mother, but from the looks of it..."

Sheila stopped in the middle of her sentence as she thought deeply for a few moments. Sylvia didn't say anything after her excuse was seen through by Sheila and went quiet in place, but what Sheila said next to her caused her to fill with shock.

"Why don't you live in with me?"
