As I opened my eyes in the small white room where I had first met Lilith. She was sitting across from me wearing a comfy and munching on popcorn like my suffering was some kind of amusing play made for her entertainment.
[It was fun wasn't it? Especially the end and you got some experience. Take a look.]
She pulled up my status in front of my eyes and I could see that some things had changed.

Huh? So it seemed like I had gained some experience, a stat point, and now a few things were a little more descriptive, but I still didn't understand why I had entered the dream world of the masked man when I had never seen his face. And did I seriously loose two health points just because I'm loosing it?
"Wait! Lilith you tricky system! You were just trying to distract me from how angry I am at you right now!", I shouted at her.
[Haha! You are half right, but I also wanted to help you have some fun and get some power.] She said pouting like she had been wrongly scolded.
[You really should have used some of the things I left for you in your inventory. Instead you just ran away, but hopping in his bed was a nice touch.] She said as if she was critiquing my performance in a play instead of commenting on my punishment.
"I knew it! I knew you were just using me as entertainment! And what is all this about leaving stuff in my inventory? I haven't even opened it and now its full of your stuff!", I said as my patience with her antics was wearing thin. I don't even know if I want to open my inventory anymore. I'm honestly a little scared now.
I reluctantly opened it and this is what I saw:
Inventory (5 out of 16 slots available)
Slot 1 - Lilith's guide book
Slot 2 - Leather handcuffs
Slot 3 - Lilith's standing hand mirror
Slot 4 - A bag of Lilith's seeds x1
Slot 5 - Cucumber x5
Slot 6 - Corn x3
Slot 7 - Olive oil
Slot 8 - Carrot x10
Slot 9 - Thin sleep shirt
Slot 10 - Long socks
Slot 11 - Aged Elske grape juice
Slots 12-16 - Empty
"Wow Lilith you actually got me a lot of good things! I'm actually kind of surprised except for that book. I didn't think that you would get me soo many good ingredients, especially that olive oil! It's normally soo expensive! This is such a score!".
In response to my jubilation at the contents of my inventory Lilith just gave me a sheepish look, and said [Yeah... don't you feel soo thankful that you are my protégé now? I got all these wonderful things just for you.]
[Now go go! I have some things to do!] she said with a serious, yet somewhat mischievous look on her face, as if she was thinking of some new troublesome plot.
"Wait", I reached out as if to stop her, when I suddenly found myself in bed sitting up straight with my arms outstretched as if I was searching for something.
At the same time my sister skipped into my room and hopped onto my bed with me.
"Hey Serin, you were soooooo loud that you woke me up! If you had a bad dream that just means that the true gods were mad at you because you haven't shown me your power yet!", Ella said overexaggerating humorously.
"Ohh sure, of course if the true gods are mad at me its all because I made you upset Ella", I said dramatically putting on the woe is me act. To which she started giggling in response, and I chased her out of the room using the threat of tickle torture.
Before I left the room I decided to add my stat point to Mana putting it at 16, and then I pulled out the grape juice and went down to the basement to get some other ingredients to make a spin on French toast and bread pudding to celebrate the free ingredients that Lilith had gotten me, and in order to make something that five other people might want to eat.
When I got to the kitchen and told Ella what I was making she got really excited since I was basically just making a bread pudding with French toast, fruit, and a bit of the grape juice instead of using the normal bread from the bakery.
I told her that I was going to make a lot, so she should call over her friends so they could take some home to their families. Ella didn't really like that idea, but when I told her that she wouldn't get any if she didn't, she reluctantly skipped off to her friends' houses to let them know.
As she was leaving and out of my earshot she mumbled grumpily, "I'm going to have to tell Silv to learn how to cook faster, or I'm going to have to listen to my brother for the rest of my life".
While Ella was leaving, I decided to try out my magic a little bit, and Lilith's Fire seemed like the most straightforward to use. I closed my eyes and imagined a ball of fire flickering in my hand and when I opened them, to my excitement there was a little ball of purple fire resting in the palm of my hand. Surprisingly enough it didn't burn me either, so I tried holding it over wooden spoon in my other hand, but the same could not be said for the spoon as it was engulfed by purple flames and turned to ash in my hand.
"Shoot this could be dangerous! I guess using it inside the house is a big no no.", I thought to myself.
