"That's a large increase huh."
"That's what you call large host? I'd say that increase is laughable."
Curios by why the system said that, Lilia asked.
"Why so?
"Well host if someone fatter than you got the system, how high would the increase be then?"
Lilia was left speechless when she heard this. At the same time sudden realization hit her.
If she was fatter then wouldn't that mean that her stats would be higher?
As she was lamenting at this fact, she then also changed the topic.
"Somehow, after my fat was gone, I look thin. Why is that?"
"Host, the system is purely dependent on actual experience. You don't even work out. So it's only expected for you to look thin."
"......"
Giving a dry cough, Lilia then once more changed the topic.
"After all said is done, what am I suppose to do now?"
"Well host, you do practically nothing as of the moment. It's up to you if you want to do something to try and improve your skills, combat ability and the like."
"Skills? Combat ability? What're those? How do I get them?"
"Host must depend on actual experience of you want to get skills and combat abilities fast. Although there are others like technique, combat skill, compatibility, concentration, focus, stamina, and many others based on how you do well with actual experience."
"Hmm, I see."
Lilia then went into contemplation mode.

"What does the Title, Class, Subclass, and Jobs do?"
After she asked this, a deep robotic voice then sounded in her head.
*Level too low for additional information*
"......"
"Host..... I recommend going through the basics first."
"Basics? What basics?"
"Discover it yourself."
"......"
Seeing such responses from the deep robotic voice and the system itself, Lilia could only pout at them.
*Ding*
While Lilia was making bubbles, a loud crisp bell sound sounded in her head. Then, a system prop showed up.
"Hmm?"
******
Bonus skill gift box received.
Peasant rank training module received.
Open gift box now? Yes or no.
Analyze training module now? Yes or no.
******
"System what's this?"
"It's the host reward for accepting the system and the harsh reality that was thrown at you."
"....."
"This system..... Isn't it somehow getting crappy and arrogant?" Thought Lilia.
"Host, I am not crappy or arrogant."
"Stop reading my mind."
Lilia then went and check those prop ups once more. After some moments, she then dismissed the prop up then said,
"I'll check this tommorow."
........
*Next day*
"Auntie, I already told you I'm fine."
"No, you're staying home whenever you like it or not."
"Auntie, I am just doing just fine! See! Watch this."
Lilia then began jumping around while flailing her arms up and down.
"Still. No means no. Didn't you even see yourself? You're so thin! So no. Go and take a rest. Grab yourself some fat. Then I'll let you go."

"......"
"Ahhh!!!! Auntie you worrywart!!" Thought Lilia.
If she had known that her decision to burn her fat overnight would end up like this, she wouldn't have been in a rush then.
She already lost 3 days of school, no, it's was 3 days of university days. Moreover, the tasks and assignments was sure to be stacked on one another....
"Troublesome!!!!!"
As Lilia was contemplating on how she could get to the university without getting noticed by her auntie, a system display proped up suddenly in her eyes.

"What the."
"Good luck host. *Thumbs up*"
"Wai-wait what is this."
"Hmm? Lilia you said something?"
"Ah so-sorry auntie. You were right! Hehe, I'll just go back to my room now and take a swift rest. Alright, see ya!"
After that Lilia dashed straight to her room as fast as she can, when she reached her room, she locked the doors and sat stiff on her bed.

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.
