[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.]

'…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.]

Spiteful Healer
In the year 2090, technology has advanced to the point where Simulation Boxes, (Sim Box for short) are common place, allowing for the user to link up their brain's neural network to a full dive Simulation. While initially used for educational purposes, recently a large gaming company, Averon, released a fully fledged immersive MMORPG simulation where users can become anyone they desire, level up, choose their class, and become a hero or a villain. The name of this simulation is The Shattered World Online. Eli Winters had no interest in playing it. His father, a jobless bum who spent his entire life playing games in the hope of becoming a famous player or streamer, was able to use the release of The Shattered World Online to gain wealth and fame, quickly becoming the number one player and a household name as the game took the world by storm. He immediately abandoned Eli and his mother in favor of being with someone from his guild, despite his mother having worked two jobs to support them and raise Eli by herself. Eli had nothing but spite for his father and the game. When Eli's best friend convinces him to try out the game, his father's fame begins to interfere, culminating in him being singled out and shunned by his peers, and his father offering to pay for his university tuition in return for Eli hiding their relationship and quitting the game. Instead of complying with his father's wishes, Eli decides to prove to everyone how useless a guy his father is by challenging him that if Eli is able to surpass him in the game world he must delete his account and quit his streaming career. His father accepts the challenge believing his son to be useless at games - but Eli will soon show him just how ambitious a spiteful person can be. ----------- Updated Daily
