When I pulled the cloak out after it was supposedly done with the “cleaning” process

My cloak changed color from an old brown color to a clean black color

*NEW evolution*

Old Cloak → Black Cloak

Item: Black Cloak

+0 All Stats

“Using the substance from the Abyss, that dyed the cloak black”

Ability: Can absorb light from the sun

“...”

“You gotta be kidding me”

Finding out I was in the Abyss wasn’t the most upsetting it was the fact that my new cloak can only absorb sunlight because it was black

To add to that there is no sun in the Abyss just a black moon that emits moonlight, though the reason for this is unknown

I re-equipped my cloak and started to wander as it gave me a chance to gain stamina and intelligence, which is pretty essential and what I need currency, as well as to find a way to escape

After wandering for a couple of hours I started to get thirsty and hungry, finding nothing but dark grass and the dark substance that was used to “clean” my cloak

I had no choice but to try to eat it, as a grab handfuls of grass and dark substance I stopped midway thinking about what would happen if I were to eat this

“Would the dark substance start ‘cleaning’ my insides out”

“Would the dark grass give poisoning”

Just as I was thinking someone started running towards me at very fast speeds

“SSSTTOOOOOPPPPPP”

She yelled as she charged and rammed me down and getting on top of me and throwing away the substance and grass

Then she looks back at me

“You shouldn’t eat those things”

“Eating one of those things can lead to the corruption of the entire body and eventually blowing up creating a crater due to the amount of GRNZ concentrated in your body and then expanded creating a big explosion as well as a painful death”

“ I wasn’t going to eat them anyway”

“Then what were you doing hold them?”

“I was thinking of either I should eat it or not”

“That is the same thing!”

“Ok then, but first things first, get off me your heavy”

“How rude, saying that to a young maiden like me!”

As she is getting off I saw her body structure more clearly

She was wearing a black crop top and blue short pants as well as black hair, but overall her chest was flat and she is short

“Look kid, it is dangerous without your parents”

“Where are they I will help look for them”

“Uh.. mister do you know that I am far older than you in terms of age”

“Hahaha every fun come you being older than me, you certainly don’t look like it”

“Hey, even though I am short, I am at least 1000 years old”

“Heh, 1000 years old, keep dreaming kid”

“Mind you I am Lily, the flower of purity”

“You know it also means fertility, too”

Lily then blushes and starts punching me

“Ow, ow, ow, ok, ok, I’m sorry”

She then stops

“Do you know how to get out of the Abyss”

“Well you first have to have black substance on you to go through the patrol”

“But you first need to get permission from the ruler of the Abyss”

“The ruler?”

“Yes, the ruler, and guess who the ruler is”

“Me!” saying it before I could answer

“Alright then I’m set, so let's go”

“WAIT!”

“You first have to beat me”

“If it is combat, I am never going to win”

“Of course not, we are going to play a game”

“And what is it”

“The waiting game!” replying eagerly

“So… when do we star-”

“Now!”

And so the waiting game began

Couple of hours have past and there was no sign of it ending as I watch her stand there motionless

“Alright I give up”

“...”

There was no response by from Lily

So I when to her and poked her

No response

“Oh my god, where are you, Lily!!!”

“Tricking me into waiting for nothing”

Then she reappeared laughing

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA”

“OH GOD, MY STOMACH HURTS HAHAHAHAHA”

I was pissed so I went to her and pulled her cheeks

“Ow, ow, ow, ow, ok ok ok I give up let go”

After she asked for forgiveness I stopped

“Now can you grant me permission to go through the portal”

“Yes you can, man that was very funny see you there waiting for nothing”

“Alright jokes are over, now where do I get to the portal”

“Ok first hold my hand”

“Why would I hold your hand”

“Just do it”

“Alright, alright”

As soon as I held her hand, we were instantly transported somewhere

Not being ready, I pucked, but realized I couldn’t as I was still hungry, I guess being too focused on something

“This is the way back to your world”

Pointing at the portal

“Oh right before I go can I have some food”

“Sure!”

She hands over food, which I see as food from the Gods since I haven't eaten for serveral days

While eating the food, I asked

“How did you swap bodies during the waiting game anyway”

“Maybe your eyes can’t see how fast I was going”

“Then how do I see you do so?”

“You use appraisal, everyone should have seen the changes in names of my dummy

“What ?!”

“Wait, so you're telling me, that you have been on your adventure without the skill, Appraisal?!”

“Yeah…”

“Well I can give you a better skill for you”

“Here” She hands over an orb

“If you use this you should be the better skill”

“Alright”

Using the orb, my panel notified me

*bing*

*NEW skill*

Skill: Demon’s eye (Lvl 1) - Passive: Allows the user to use Appraisal on everything

Active: Allows users to see in the dark

“How is this different from the normal Appraisal, besides the use of night vision?”

“This appraisal allows you to see all info on those around you regardless of Level”

“Normal appraisal allows you to see those with equal or lower levels than you do”

“Wow”

“Thanks !”

“No problem” smiling

“Ok I will take my leave now”

“Will I be able to meet again?”

“I am sure we will someday”

“Bye, Yasu!” waving her hand bye and smiling

“Bye, Lily” as I go through the portal waving my hands as back at her as I do so

“Did I tell her my name”

“Nah, probably she used demon eyes to find my name”

With that, I returned by to the room in the castle
