After walking for a while, she began to feel used to this new body.
"Pandora...the name doesn't sound too bad. It reminds me of when I was a kid, when I was looking for a book to read. The reason why I named myself like that, I don't know"
"Crack Crack"
A strange sound resounded above her head, and she slowly raised her head to look. It was a giant spider monster, the size of a car.
'The first monster I faced, but right now...Run!'
Without hesitation, she quickly ran away and the spider monster screamed and chased after her.
'What should I do? None of the skills I have are for fighting!'
The spider continuously shoots venomous webs to attack, seriously injuring her while running, but she still doesn't stop.
"Kiiii Kiiii!!!"
"Stop chasing me!"
Unfortunately, she accidentally tripped, causing herself to roll over, and then fall into a large hole. She quickly used her hands to cling to the wall of the hole so as not to fall, but at the same time the spider was right in front of her.
'Am I going to die? Die now?'
For the first time, she felt free from that fake life. She doesn't care what she becomes, just being herself is enough. But unexpectedly, it ended so soon.
"Kiii....Kiii..."
Suddenly the spider collapsed, she did not understand what happened and crawled up to look. Touching it lightly showed no signs of life, which confused her.
"What just happened?"
The bulletin board appeared in front of her.

"I survived! I'm alive! How lucky!"
Seeing the spider's corpse suddenly melt gave her chills, so she left quickly.
'I hope I won't see anything like that again'
But things are not as easy as she thought. When in the cave labyrinth, there are always monsters that escape from hiding to stalk and kill the unlucky creature that happens to step into their place.
Pandora encounters all kinds of monsters including geckos, cockroaches, ants and more. Their size is always too big for her, they always try to swallow her alive. But that was impossible, as she repeatedly set traps everywhere, then ate them to gain more EXP and Skills.
She didn't feel it was a sin, it was the law of nature.

After fighting monsters and leveling up for a while, her hands had fingers, and her body had grown a lot.
'It seems easy for me to level up, fighting those monsters shouldn't be difficult. Just a little strategy is very simple. It would be nice to find bigger monsters called "boss"
Recalling that in her previous life, she would always watch her classmates playing something called "video games". For humans, it is a form of entertainment to relieve stress. But sometimes playing too much leads to addiction and not wanting to do anything, other than sit in front of the computer to play.
Once, out of curiosity, she tried to borrow from a student in the class. After only a few minutes, she was hooked on it, which resulted in her parents scolding her and starving her.
'They forbade me one after another. When I succeed, they change their perception of me, then I realize how greedy they are. Those trash parents, I don't need them.'
"This is too heavy"
"Hurry up or we'll be attacked by monsters."
Suddenly a voice came from afar, thanks and the skill
Pandora ran towards the voice and saw three middle-aged men pulling a rather large sack, but she smelled something like burnt meat.
'Don't tell me... those sacks are people who were burned alive?!'
A form of execution involving burning prisoners' vertebrae was used in the execution of treason, heretics, and witches.
"We should just leave the sacks here, let the monsters take care of the corpses."
"I also feel like I've gone far enough."
"Die, you brats"
The middle-aged man kicked the sack hard and left. Watching the fire fade away, Pandora jumped down and opened the sack, inside were two burned but still breathing children's corpses. She immediately placed her hands on the two children's heads to assess.
_
[Confirmed: 90.2% burn, very difficult results]
_
"M...h...h..."
'There must be some way to save them! The children are too young to die in such a senseless way.
Pandora then looked at the skills she had, although they were numerous but she had to look carefully to see if there were any skills that could cure the children, and then she stopped when she saw a skill she hadn't used yet.

'Should I recklessly try? But I don't know what it does.
"U...u...a...."
'I have no choice but to try'

[Will automatically switch to auto body control mode to use
[Yes/No]

Pandora gulped, she felt extremely nervous and pressed the [Yes] crossword to confirm.
Suddenly her two hands moved automatically, then pulled the same thing out of the two bodies, she was surprised that it was the souls of the two children. Pandora tries to control herself but her body refuses to listen to her, eventually the two souls turn into two crystals and fly into Pandora's body.
'What have I done.....I took the souls of two innocent children...I'm a murderer!!!!'
While she was panicking from her actions, suddenly the children's bodies glowed. Their bodies gradually recovered like never before, as soon as they opened their eyes to look at themselves.
"Big Brother..."
"Little sister...."
"Are we still alive, big brother?"
"I think so..."
"But we're obviously burned. Ah..."
"What happen?"
"Look...a giant monster...."
As soon as he looked at Pandora, the older brother stood in front of the younger sister to protect.
"Wait, I just saved you two. Are you going to hit the person who saved you?"- Pandora explained.
"Save? So you saved us? Or are you lying?" - Big brother doubted
"I'm not lying, I really saved you two. You two almost lost your life, the burns were so severe. I took your souls...." - Pandora
"Are we dead?" - Big brother was shocked
"No, I mean you are 'dead' but still 'alive' inside me, here." - Pandora pointed at herself.
"Have we become your slaves?"- Big brother asked her
"No, no, no. I don't need slaves" - Pandora
"Then what do you need? After all, you are keeping our souls!"- Big brother asked loudly
"I don't need anything, really."- Pandora replied emphatically
"But we don't have a place to go to.....our house has been burned down..."- The little girl sobbed.
'Oh my, what should I do with these two kids? Or...'- Pandora rubs her forehead
"Or you can become my children." - Pandora
"What?"- Big brother and younger brother were surprised
"Anyway, I don't know where this place is, how much time has passed, I don't even know. So instead of you being slaves, become my children, okay?"- Pandora crouched down
The two children looked at each other and then at Pandora, as if they were a little hesitant at her. Of course, since she looked like a monster, fear was natural.
"Okay, we agree. But you have to name us."- Big brother
"Names? Don't you have names?" - Pandora
"Perhaps you don't know, when you die, the soul is stolen or lost, it will lose its name. So we want a new name." - Big brother
"Hmm, let's see...Okay, I'll name you two. Your name will be Baal, and your sister will be Agares." - Pandora
As soon as she finished naming, Pandora felt a certain connection from herself with the other two children, they felt extremely light and comfortable.
"We thank you, sir...."- Baal bowed his head
"My name is Pandora, you can call me father or mother." - Pandora
"Why?" asked Agares
"Because I'm...an Intersex."- Pandora hesitated
"...."
"...."
"...."
"Really?" - Baal
"I know you'll be shocked to find out I'm an Intersex...!" - Pandora
"Then can we call you father or mother? Then I want to call you mother!"
"If Agares calls you mother, shall I call you father?" - Baal
Pandora was surprised because the two children seemed to be enjoying herself because she was an Intersex, but also couldn't say anything because the two children were so cute.
