Damo and Karol both woke up after fainting from so much pain " Master what happened ? " "You're a demon now , you don't have that fuzzy tail anymore" " Ugh what is going on " Karol checked her hands and found that it was the same .
" Huh , what happened ? I thought I had become a demon ? " "You did . I just used an illusion to hide your real appearance" Yuni dispelled the magic and showed Karol " AHHH " "Don't be so loud , you can hide that appearance by using illusion magic , but you have to pay up"
Karol looked at the book and threw money at Yuni " Is that enough !? " "Sure is" " Oooohhh god darn it , I can't believe this is what I look like . What about a succubus ? " "Only works if you have intense lust and desire to take the lifeforce of men"
" Then why did I turn into some wolf , I'm not a furry " "Maybe because you're a lone wolf ?" Karol clenched her fist annoyed by Yuni's joke " This is not some joke " "Don't worry about it , it's not so bad , Damo here has much tougher fur like you and if you master transformation , you might be able to hide those features"
" I better be , who knows what kind of reaction people will have seeing my new body , is this recorded in the book right ? " "Nope most of the information about you isn't , but I can force it" " Then I need to look for a skillbook for transformation . Where can I get it ? "
"Probably from the demon realm , although you'll have to read it since I'm not turning it into a skillbook" " I don't care , I'll take it " Karol pushed the book to Yuni "You don't want this ?" " Of course not , now get to the demon realm and get that book already "
"No can do , I only go there at night , so you'll have to stay with that body today" " AHHHHH " Karol was stressed by it while Damo rubbed the two extra eyes " Master it's so weird having four eyes " Damo complained .
"I'll be busy with my project , so you two better get used to your body" Yuni locked herself inside a room , only coming out for meals , while the two demons were disoriented because of the extra features they have .
Damo forgets to close his extra eyes so they keep getting dirty , he keeps forgetting that his tail can't catch fire now that it's covered in scales , so it keeps its reflex .
Karol accidentally clawed House's insides with her claws " Sorry " as disastrous as they worked , it ended when they finally went to sleep , both exhausted from something that isn't fatigue .
[ Delirium is sending you to the demon realm ]
"Here" Cirot looks at the confidentiality enchantments that Yuni made which target any readers "The more books the borrow , the more you risk losing the enchantment . My suggestion is to give them out like membership cards" " Won't this be easy to monopolize ? "
" Then you can try to copy it " Cirot tries to analyze the enchantment , but couldn't tell a thing " How will I know it will work ? " "We have a binding contract , I thought you demons trust these things the most"
Cirot gives Yuni the books she wanted "By the way , I have more confidentiality , if you give me more originals , you can keep your headstart before I reach the other libraries" Cirot looks at the library and figured .
" Wait here , I'll bring out the other originals that I made copies of " Cirot brings more books and Yuni takes her pick " How long will you be staying ? " "I plan to leave as soon as I get all the books you have"
Although Cirot was anxious and quickly turned to the library " I'll make copies first give me a list of books you want " "Now you're talking , just tell me how many books you have" Cirot gave Yuni the number " Guess I'll have to buy some books with these in the next city , I'll be leaving tonight so better do it quickly "
Cirot worked himself and gave out all originals while gaining as much confidentiality " How much do I pay for the rest " "I'm afraid that's as far as you go . I'll be busy getting more books from other places , you'll just have to wait until I get all the text of the demon realm . Better sell out all those membership cards as soon as possible and limit the amount of books each demon borrows , it will break if you give them too much ."
Yuni leaves and hopes that the other librarians have heard it and prepared to make some ' It's good advertisement might have to take a long time in this world , the quest never stated a time limit anyways , plus with Rilvor much stronger , the quest will be even harder now '
Yuni returned and gave the holy grail to House , which turned parts of House into consecrated ground " AGGGGHHH IT BURNS " Karol winced and so did Damo .
" YOU SAID HOLY MAGIC ISN'T EFFECTIVE !!! " "Of course it isn't effective , it would've killed you instantly if I used it . This holy grail was blessed by an angel itself"
" Master , it burns " Damo said in a low and weakened voice "You guys are lucky to learn holy resistance , even though it won't be a lot" " Then why are you going to give House that demonizing potion ? " Karol said while still in pain .
"House is a Frankenstein house , any parts of a monster can be used on them , adding demon and angel together would be great for later uses , but for now I'll need House to be able to gain demonic resistance first which is why you two are here"
" You brat " Karol complained in the same level of voice as Damo ' You're the brat here I'm much older , but I guess she'd assume that because I look very young ' " Master when will it end ? " Damo cried "Soon enough once you get used to it , you'll gain holy ressistance , which will be useful later"
' At least I'm getting some power for this ' Yuni started working on the confidentiality trait and started gathering more and more demon books for a week .
" We arrived three days ago , so how come we're just here ? " Karol asked and Yuni shrugged her shoulders "I don't know , but from my experience , it seems like Haggis knows a few things and I can trust him , he probably trusts me too , which is why he told me about this location"
" So are we just going to wait here ? It was hard to hide House in the forest , it's just a good thing you have that flower of dreams thing " "I have something better at creating illusions too" "Really , where did you get it ? " Karol asked "Got it from this" Yuni gave Karol the book on the abandoned mines and she looked at a book .
" Why is there a paywall on this too ? " "There is ?" " I'll pay the amount look " Karol paid the money and it went to Yuni "I got it" " How do you have another storybook with a paywall "
"I didn't have it , but now that you mention it . I should probably go ask about it in the query office , too bad there's none here" Yuni gives back Karol's money and she reads the book while Yuni was wondering what she should do in the location .
' Aren't you gonna do anything ? ' Yuni asked , referring to the system , she opened the book on the storybook and wondered what could be done . She looked at the holy grail inside the room and thought of why the angel gifted her something that could be used for healing only .
" Hey , do you even read your storybook ? " Karol asked with the book on the abandoned mines set aside "Sometimes when I want information" " Then you should probably look at the chapter where you received the holy grail . I just finished it and I feel like it's a bit weird that an angel gave you something so weak like that "
Yuni looked at the holy grail chapter .
Yuni was given the holy grail by the angel Domiel , who found the opportunity to slip a blessing towards Yuni through the books so that the balance could be restored . He wouldn't know that this would worsen the upcoming battle between the heroes and demons later .
' That later must be related to parts when the demon king occupied the demon spawn point , maybe they were too reliant on the castle before but they probably relocated , maybe I should read the storybooks even more '
Yuni decides to invest most of the time in the book and think about the information ' Okay so there are still no clues about what to do , so maybe I should look for information , but most of the heroes are all gathered in the fortress defending against demons '
" How do you go to the demon realm ? " Yuni showed the storybook of the world "It is somewhat connected to the demon realm , there's an opposing realm , which is called the city of angels , even though it's bigger than a country"
" Why not go there ? " "Do you think I have a choice in that matter , it's part of the challenge of delirium . If I were to go up , I would need the challenge of ecstasy" Yuni said not taking Karol's question seriously " You can take care of that . I have to clean the dishes from dinner "
"Don't claw on the ceramic" ' I won't ' Karol grumbled and a notification appeared in front of Yuni .
[ You have 10 delirium reward instances ]35Please respect copyright.PENANAtAftwetp8C
[ Would you like to use it together to enter the city of angels ]
' That was an option !? ' Yuni thought baffled and checked her progress ' Okay it wasn't an option before but now it is ' Yuni agreed and immediately fell asleep .
[ Your soul is entering the realm of angels ]35Please respect copyright.PENANAhfDH8CLD1O
[ Brace for impact ]
' Impact ? ' Yuni shot into a wall , which shattered ' Oh it must be a wall between realm ' Yuni landed on the clouds and could sense something extremely sterile ' Huh it feels weird '
[ Your fame has gained enough for the sale of your storybook ]
' Was it before or after ? ' she recalled an angel paying her the holy grail already and wondered if they were the reason ' But if that's the case , then ' Yuni decided to walk and saw a gate . She looked at the long line and took her place and waited .
' I hope I don't get thrown back because I'm not dead , I haven't done a lot of bad things . I even have a few challenges that would make them see me in a good light ' as Yuni waited , a few angels came .
" She must be her " " Quick call out to her " " Are you asking me to embarrass myself ? " " I don't want to either , she is a great example of a good person " the angels eventually reached her " Hello Yuni , we know that you have entered heaven through the system's reward , so is there anything that you are here for ? "
Yuni thinks about what she could ask and wrote "I was told by a fellow player to come to a location he insisted that I go there , but I'm not sure why" meanwhile Haggis was happy to read that Yuni was in heaven ' Hopefully they tell her the rest of the informaiton I wasn't able to tell '
" Oh , you must be referring to the child named Haggis , someone did give him that information , we will bring you to heaven . We don't indirectly mean your death " the angels accompanied her and opened the gates ' Huh this is unexpected . The world is much bigger than I thought '
"Why is entering heaven more brutal than the demon realm ?" " Are you referring to hearing something break on the way ? " "Yes , it broke like glass" " That was just a demonstration of the cost and power the system you have had to expend to bring you to heaven "
Yuni was brought into some office with an angel " So you are the popular player that has been getting the eye of many angels , What are you here for ? I've read how you got here already "
"I want to ask why Haggis sent me to that place . I thought the angels could look into it , but when I talked to them , it looked like some angels were already involved"
" You must be referring to Domiel , he was supposed to watch over the earthly realm here . He must've interfered within the parameters back then , he is being self-disciplined for gifting the holy grail to you for not thinking things through , perhaps it's because he hasn't read your storybook at that time "
"Then can Domiel tell me what he told Haggis because even Haggis hasn't told me anything other than to go there , I have no care about gaining fame as a hero , being famous down at the demon realm gave me enough rewards"
" We'll give you the information will be difficult however , seeing as it would help the earthly realm , we'll tell you "
The book didn't write the information that Yuni received and so she stayed around in heaven but was limited in buying too many things due to the balance already giving blessings to demons .
Yuni finally went back down , knowing what she needed to do ' Although I'm not so sure about going inside , maybe it's better if I deal with it at the demon realm '
Yuni starts drawing a spell in the basement " Are you sure about this ? " Karol asked " And didn't you say that you appeared somewhere else with Delirium " Damo said with worry "I know , but that location is too far right now . I need to get to the space adjacent to this town"
" Then I'm going " "I didn't take you for the type to be heroic" " Just keep drawing so I can go down with you " "You'll have to sit this one out , demons of a certain rank can control those below them . You'll be more trouble than help"
Yuni completes the drawing and prayed ' Alright , let's hope I can get there '

[ Control the steering ]
Yuni cast magic to stop her from falling off the intended path towards the demon realm and fell into it . She used her mind's eye to look at the colorless landscape that drew the land ' It's black and white , kinda disappointing '
She used some wind magic to slow her descent and arrived ' I can sense a giant magic just above it ' Yuni tried to decipher what kind of magic it was based on her knowledge . She gets closer and hears many voices and deciphers them .
Her delirium progress quickened ' So this must mean the spell can make voices . Delirium sure is coming in handy in training my senses ' she retains her Lucid state and continues walking , trying to figure out what this place truly is .
" We need to control the heroes " " Don't you all remember what a few did in the last ressurection ? " she hears many voices criticizing the heroes that were summoned and figured that this spell must be the reason the heroes were summoned into puppets .
' Even if they used this spell to manipulate the kingdoms in making puppets , how come they received blessings from the balance while Soloers did not ? ' Yuni thinks of the many instances where even heroes not part of the kingdom summons were also blessed in the last resurrection , which is what led to some going rogue because of being out of the kingdoms .
' There's not a lot of information yet . For now , I need to investigate who did this ? ' Yuni felt the demons inside her inventory fear the location ' Now that I think about it , they were here too ' Delirium gave the demons voices as they yelled at Yuni to leave for their soul's survival .
' Something is definitely in here ' Yuni felt the fear grow as she went deeper ' Not sure if I should do something about this ' Yuni continued walking deep into it until she reached the center ' This is just awkward . Why is there nothing here ? ' Yuni felt like someone had bamboozled her by making something like .
[ Would you like Delirium to absorb the voices ]
' Huh the challenges can do something like this ? ' Yuni thinks about how Delirium works and since the voices were similar to what Delirium serves her , she agreed ' If it could remove the voices which is controlling the kingdoms then it would be helpful , would it not '
The giant spell that painted the sky starts to turn as Yuni wondered ' Aren't the challenges pretty overpowered ? ' Yuni thought as the spell faced Yuni .
The voices fell into her in a greater force than the banshees in the mad forest . Yuni's body couldn't handle all the information and Yuni starts to tune out most of the sensation ' I take that back '
The spell was meant to speak to many targets to manipulate them but now all of them were being directed into Yuni .

[ Creating Penalty ]
' Cut me some slack , will yah ? I'm sacrificing myself so that the people won't be manipulated by the demons anymore , so why don't you shut up ' Yuni silenced the voices and recovered to check the notification .

[ Sobierty , Blind , Silence , Mercy and Delirium ]
' The fck , you mean that's so much , what for ? ' Yuni looked at the spell that stayed inside her and sensed something even stronger than the confidentiality trait from the reward instance of Blind and silence inside .
' That's weird , the spell is here but for some reason I don't hear any voices ' Yuni checked her storybook and read the book ' Hmm this is strange '
Yuni had used herself to absorb the grand circle that cost the demon king's right hand Silga a fortune of demon essence to create . It was meant to control the kingdoms , but now it was absorbed by Yuni , which has notified Silga who is heading over .
' It says that it's in a paranthesis ' Yuni wondered what that meant and the system gave her an answer .
[ Text between () are hidden and only known to the author ]
' Sometimes I forget that I'm also the author , despite being the character ' Yuni wondered what she should do and decided to write in the book .
Silga reads Yuni's storybook , impressed by her magic and by how useful Yuni will be " Huh to think that famous challenger with that ridiculously long title for a book is now under my control " Silga senses her magic and Yuni acts like she is controlling her .
" Perhaps you can be useful " Haggis , who was reading this , couldn't have felt more terrified and even the angels were too . The demons were starting to gain an advantage because of this and Haggis felt his head about to explode .
" NOO YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO GO DOWN " Haggis yelled , but the confidentiality trait silenced his voice " Come on Yuni , you were supposed to stay on guard in that location"
" We can't have you going back up , so you better stay here " Silga canceled the spell in the basement and looked at Yuni .
" Are you not going to say anything ? " "No" " Are you kidding me , you're already under my control SPEAK " "No" the hardest part about being under control was holding back her laughter .
Her silence challenge was progressing much faster than when she was tempted to scream ' God , I can't wait for the chapter that writes my reaction to be written ' " Fine , then I want you to use your reward instance "
"Can't" " Then what can you do " "Kill you" as Silga reads it . Yuni was already holding a dagger close to her neck ' She may be strong to the weak-minded , but I ain't like that ' " Ugh , you disobedient " Silga pushed Yuni and starts whipping her with a whip full of poison .
Her readers were shocked to read this live , but her thoughts weren't pain but excitement ' Woah , I can hear so many of my challenges progressing so quickly , the poison is extremely lethal , even better than the one I made ' Silga eventually got too tired .
" Haaahhh I should stop beating you up , since you are now my servant , you will have to follow me while I create another magic circle " Haggis couldn't believe that Yuni's effort was worthless even to Silga .
But he was wrong when Silga was having the things delivered , they were disappearing " Servant what happened to the materials " "Don't know" ' It's in my inventory ' " No matter , have more delivered " ... " WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT WAS GONE !?!? "
" We don't know Miss , we couldn't find any trace as to what happened to it " ' It's with me ' Yuni pooled more money into the inventory , upgrading it as needed " Listen here IMP , you will go fetch more of and buy more alright ? " " YES MA'AM "
Silga grumbled and yelled at Yuni " FAN FASTER " Yuni did it with all her strength , including wind magic , which blew the tea that Silga was trying to sip . She gripped the ground as Yuni continued to fan greatly .
" ST-aahh-oap " Yuni stopped and Silga fell to the ground ' I'm glad she's under my control ' ' Good thing Humility didn't care about this display of power , But I do hope that imp spread the ashes I slip '
Ashes of hunger spread as they were not to be found due tot he confidentiality enchantments on them ' I even used a few reward instances to make sure they were strong enough so I could trigger the event ' finally in evening , Silga got the things she needed to make the magic circle .
" Perfect , now let us go to the castle " ' Wish I could ask why ? oh wait , there is delirium , isn't there ? ' Yuni starts to listen to Silga's thoughts ' Ahh Rilvor , I can't wait to be with you again ' Yuni wanted to puke hearing that as Silga's thoughts were filled with so many thoughts of making love with Rilvor .
' I can see why this is the challenge of delirium , the risk is crazy and even the content I'm listening to is nauseting ' she listens to all of Silga's thoughts even as she screams with much joy as she fantasizes a lovely time with Rilvor at the castle .
Meanwhile , in the demon realm , many demons were starting to starve as the ashes of hunger fall into the already barren land and were carried by the wind .
" Remember servant , I will be in my room and you will not allow anyone in until I choose to come out . And make sure no one disturbs me if they do try , just beat them up and don't let them in " ... " PLEASE IT'S URGENT " a demon said as Yuni continued to block the way .
"Master said to not disturb her" " This is worth disturbing her " "No get out" Yuni subdued the demon and kicked them out . The servants were given a tip to deliver a message , but Yuni kicked them out too .
She did all that and now there is no one inside ' Now I just have to set up the illusion magic ' Yuni set up the illusion catalyst and made the castle into a maze just like the one in the abandoned mines , but strengthened it with one delirium reward instance .
' Now I just have to get through the night hearing all her joyful and pleased noise ' Silga woke up extremely satisfied by the session she had with the fake Rilvor " Soon , my love " she licked her lips , kissing the lap pillow with Rilvor's face on and went outside .
" Where is my food ? " "The head chef is out" " Why ? " "They were going to disturb you" " I see , then tell the other servant to cook " "They're not here" " Why ? " "They were going to disturb you" " All of them ? "
"Yes all of the servants were trying to disturb , but I stopped them" " Oh what a diligent servant you are " Silga was expecting a response , but Yuni didn't say a single thing " Then you cook me something delicious "
Yuni starts to cook as Silga sniffed the delectable aroma " What a good aroma " Yuni brought the food out and Silga licked her lips , curious about the taste " What is this ? "
"English breakfast" Yuni puts a glass of juice beside it and Silga drinks it as she savors the taste " This is truly delicious . How is it made ? " Yuni starts to describe it .
"Sausages , bacon , eggs , ham , potato patties , tomato , mushrooms and slices of bread are cooked in oil that was soaked with the flavors of herbs"
" What kind of herbs " "From heaven" Silga's eyes widened and looked at Yuni , who smiled at her " You urgh " Silga tried to puke out the things she ate ' It's no use doing that . '
" You darn ugh " Silga felt the holy poison course through her veins slowly and Yuni silenced her before her screams could come out ' This is great ' The book starts to write what had happened after the absorption of the the magic circle from Yuni's perspective instead .
Haggis breathed a sigh of relief , but felt like there was suddenly trouble because Yuni was trapped in the demon realm now that it was closed ' But she should know about what is in the location , so maybe she already made preparations ? ' Haggis hoped that was the case .35Please respect copyright.PENANAw4PCci1AnU
