Note #2: The High-Seraph Luceer stopped her [Playtime] with the God of Knowledge Thoth and is currently watching you.
[Holy… High-Seraph Luceer is going all out with the Mission Rewards. She really wants to know everything about these creatures. Hmm? Why don't you seem too excited, Lilith? I see the Penalty is severe, but we're too deep into the whole Chain Mission; we really don't have a choice now… Lilith?]
'Oh, yeah, I don't really get your excitement. Other than the SP, I don't really get what's all the fuss is about. I'm not from that Heavenhole, remember?'
[Oh, yeah, wait, I'll just plaster the… descriptions of the rewards… really quick so you can understand what's at stake here and—there.]
[Bloodline Crystal: a bloodline roulade containing a high concentration of unique variation lineage (Mutation). (Can only be used by Epic Tiers and beyond.]
[Mana Eminence Gem: allows the complete manipulation control of mana in their bodies. Used to calm the body when mana goes into a rampage. It is also regarded as a vital piece in a Caster's Catalysts to invoke Tier-7 and beyond Incantation Spells.]

'…Hohoho, now that you put it that way, I'm really interested in the whole thing. But the requirement for passing is still a little vague for my taste… but let's just get this thing over. I want to sleep early tonight.'
Lilith manipulated the earth and propped up a chair. Seeing eye to eye with the Wendigo, Lilith interestedly raised her brows, "You're going to cooperate? That's new, please, do enlighten me."
"I will tell you whatever it is that you want to know, and you let me walk away from this place, Herald of Beyond."
Lilith ignored its little nicknames and just smirked in amusement, "If that is all you are asking for, then you have yourself a deal."
Lilith was satisfied with the offers of the Wendigo. She didn't want to deal with it anyway, and torture was too exhausting.
"Apo—apostle… what are you talking about? Did you not say you would save Will?" a shaking voice reverberated in the cavern.
Lilith turned around and saw Mirsha's eyes plagued with confusion and worry.
Lilith could see the evident desperation those two jewels held. How she wished the words she heard were nothing but the illusions brought to her by the fatigue, "Please, tell me I heard wrong…."
She was desperately trying to climb up a faltering line. But, all that she saw, at the end of her rope, was Lilith's smile.
"Sadly, you didn't. I really need some valuable information, and he's so cooperative. He gets to walk out of this cavern alive, and I get my information. Besides, I already promised him an exit; I can't just take it back. According to the Goddess Letza, keeping my promises as an Apostle is a Must. I cannot abandon my words, even if it is to an enemy."

She was on the verge of exploding. Her anger rose to see the smug expression of the little daemon. Black flames flickered from her hallowed eye, "Did you not promise me that you'll save Will!? Why are you abandoning him now?"
"You're wrong; when I said I'd save "him," I was mostly referring to the Wendigo. As for your husband, I am sorry, but—he is now an afterthought."
A ball of black flames blossomed around Lillith, but Dhampy already moved to knock Mirsha out before anything could happen. The raging, grieving wife fell and was caught by Killa.
Holding into a wisp of consciousness, Mirsha managed to raise her hand. Tears now went down her face, "Please, don't…."
"You see, people like this will do everything in their power to screw with the ones who need them for something. If I torture him, he will probably just laugh it off until he dies, mocking me for not taking his offer earlier. I would rather avoid such an end. I'm sorry, Mirsha, but he gets to walk out of this place alive, whether you approve or not."
Mirsha lost consciousness with a heavy heart.
"You have an awful lot of guard around you, don't you think?" the Wendigo said, seeing the dozen Shadow Troops looming over them.
"I do, don't I? And all of them would have their fangs, blades, and claws pointed at you the instant you try anything suspicious. Fail to cooperate, and I can erase your whole existence, so you would have to say bye-bye to the promise I made."
Even in the shadows, there were members of the Shadow Troops like Eve submerged in its murky dark depths. Dhampy gave Lilith questioning looks at what she had just done.
"Don't look at me like that, please. I did what I had to do for the best of our Village."
'…' Dhampy did not respond; only unpleasant memories were unearthed. She did not like seeing the vile grasp of the world's truth slowly grabbing hold of what purity in words she found in Lilith.
[Dhampy: Loyalty -15]
'Oof… that hurts a lot. Seems at 100 Loyalty; I can still betray her trust. Even blind loyalty has its limits.' Lilith thought to herself, but she steeled her resolve, "Everyone, other than Dhampy, leave the cavern; I want to talk to this thing alone."
[Dhampy: Loyalty -5]
'...'
Everyone left, leaving only Lilith, Dhampy, and the smiling Wendigo.
"Now, let's begin; what did you just call me? A "Herald of Beyond?" what kind of eighth-grade syndrome is that?" Lilith began by helping herself.
[Luceer is not pleased with your priorities.]
'Fuck off, I already pissed off my follower. I'm going through this shit my way now.'
[The High-Seraph pouts at your mean words.]

The Wolf Saga, Wolf that Devours Empires
The Empire of Human is about to enter a turbulent era. A World Power has fallen. But mere hours after dying, he is reborn as a half-human, half-elf boy named Wolf. The story follows this odd boy as he grows up, his relationship with his father and those around him, his lack of common sense from being raised in the wilderness, and his desire for revenge. Witness Wolf's journey as he aspires to climb to the peak of the world to unravel its mysteries, and as he tries to figure out why it’s wrong to decapitate a street thug when the man tries to mug you. “I mean, the man literally said ‘Money or life,’ so what’s the big deal?” Releases Mon/Wen/Fri. (GMT-ish) Trigger warning. The Wolf Saga may not be suited for you if any of the following disturbs you: - The story will have fighting and killing. The gore will not be explicit, but there will be descriptions such as "head burst like a melon", "instantly turned to cinders", "blood splashed/fountained" etc. Most of the violence will be performed by the protagonist, some of it before he reaches his teens. If such scenes bother you, you should probably give Wolf a pass. - The story will have sexual content. It's there for a reason. Once again, these scenes will not be explicit. Genitals will be mentioned sometimes, but never described in detail. Nude bodies will be described in passing, without too many specific details. If you're afraid of nipples, you should probably give Wolf a pass. - The story will have a decent amount of cursing. If you haven't given up by now, this is unlikely to bother you. Still, I believe I should forewarn you that a number of curse words will be making appearance from time to time. - The story will have no small amount of loss for the main character. If you enjoy novels in which everything is fine, the protagonist makes it at the last moment and saves the day... This is not such a story. Life happens. As a reader, I'm annoyed with heroes making it in the nick of time, so for the sake of fairness I used dice on a number of occasions, making do with the result. Sometimes it was anticlimactic, sometimes it was tragic and it led to the story you see before you. Dedication: This story is written for Tired Mom and Wolf, whose arrival the rest of the pack is eagerly awaiting. Thanks: I would like to thank Tired Mom for her proofreading and encouragement over the years. I would like to thank you, Dear Reader, for taking the time to read this big pile of words.

System Prime
The legend of System Prime is one that has been told and retold many times over the eons. About how she, along with her trusted partner, travelled the worlds of Ahunna (a.hoon.a), sharing the [Gift of System] to all who needed it. It is a great story. Somewhat factual too. As long as you overlook the fact that System Prime was never a woman. —— If this story seems familiar to you, then congratulations, you're psychic. Well, that or you've read it before on my old account, Eli8iR, which I had to delete because of a probably silly reason that will need a shitton of weed to make me spill. If you don't recognize this story, then unfortunately you're not psychic. On the bright side though, it has been scientifically proven that reading my stories might make you psychic. Or blind. But that only happened twice, and those guys should not have badmouthed my work. Enjoy.
