Lunaire walked out of the office and began skipping to her room while humming. Once she entered the room, she was treated by a sleeping Lillith. Lunaire's face lit up with a gentle smile as she tiptoed towards Lillith's sleeping form. "Hey Lillith, it's time to wake up." Lunaire gently tapped her cheek to try and get her to awaken. Lillith stirred slightly, mumbling incoherently before slowly opening her eyes.
Lunaire's smile widened as she watched Lillith's sleepy gaze meet hers. "Good morning, sleepyhead," Lunaire said softly, her voice filled with warmth and affection. "Hmm, what time is it?" Lillith said while sitting up. "It's about twelve." Lillith slowly got out of bed after Lunaire moved out of the way.
"Did you miss me while I was gone?" Lillith now had a puzzled expression. "You were gone? Oh, that explains why last night it was cold when I woke up. How long were you gone?" Lunaire smiled "A day." Lillith's eyes widened in shock. "You were gone for a day? That means I slept a whole day!" Lunaire just smiled.
"Good, because we have a lot to do today. The first manner of business, eat all of these." Lunaire shoved the bag of fruit into Lillith's arms. "After you eat, we'll continue creating your body. Hehe, I was able to get my entire family to bless you. I was even able to get you two fruits from each divine tree."
Lunaire then walked away and grabbed some water out of the fridge. "Lunaire, why did you bring me, and why did you trap me in this damn ring?" Lunaire looked at her pinky ring, which was glowing pink. "Shush up, Elara. You should be able to pick up signs and hints, right?" "Yes, I can. Will you let me go if I tell you if I pick up any?" Lunaire smiled and said, "Bingo."
Just as the conversation finished, Lillith reappeared behind Lunaire. I'm done." Lunaire patted the spot beside her under the kotatsu, and Lillith sat down and pulled up the customization window. The window opened to the eye options.
The options were kind of plain: [brown-0KTP] or [blue-1KTP]. There were just plain eye colors until she made it to the hidden section. Once she reached it, she saw a pair of eyes with a mix of pastel blues and purples. The part that really drew her in was the eyes' Benevolent Pink Irises in the shape of four-pointed stars.
[Bloodstar Eyes: The eyes of the extinct Divine Blood Nymphs, who shared bloodlines with various divine beasts. The eyes possess traits from each bloodline, giving the owner enhanced abilities like seeing the flow of energy and creates the passive skill Divine Essence Sight-1000 KTP] [50% Discount].
Lillith smiled upon seeing this option. "Is this also something you made?" Lunaire shook her head. "No, I don't think any of us gods made an eye option; it must be a hidden piece instead." Little did the two know that Lunaire's choice of having Lillith eat every type of fruit in the orchard unlocked and strengthened several options.
The next options were the nose, mouth, ears, and chin. She just went with the best human-looking nose.
[Blind Lamia's Enhanced Nose: This remarkable nose, belonging to a Lamia species, can detect and trace various scents, including subtle pheromones tied to emotions. Users can learn to discern emotions and intentions through scent cues. Its lineage remains a mystery due to the diversity among visually impaired Lamia species-100KTP] [40% DC]
She ended up going for the second-best one due to the [Aetherial Nostrils] being long and pointy.
For the mouth, she had picked,
[Devourer's Fangs: A symbol of vampire royalty, these retractable fangs, descended from the legendary devourers, possess incredible strength, enabling them to bite, rip, and chew through various materials, including steel. Once retracted, they resemble slightly enlarged canines akin to those of beastmen. There is a chance to unlock the Leech skill-500 KTP] [50% DC]
Because they weren't human and had good features like being able to bite through, most things would be beneficial if she ever got kidnapped, and let's face it, fangs are kind of hot.
For ears, she went for the,
[Nature's Resonance Ears: An elven trait from a secluded small community in the Elements Plain's mountain range in a hidden forest at the peak of one of the mountains, now merged with a royal family. These ears suggest the chosen heir, granting exceptional hearing, even allowing one to hear the voice of nature if trained, and enhancing affinity for nature and spirit magic-150KTP] [60% DC]
Only because she thought that human ears were boring.
For the chin, she just went for a normal one, not because she was worried about points but because the best human-like one would turn her into the Crimson Chin. After picking her chin, a prompt appeared.
{Would you like to save your previous purchases?}
[Y/N]
Lillith didn't need to think about it and clicked yes; she liked what she made and didn't need any second thoughts.
{To save, choose}
[ugly-0KTP]
[Ordinary-5KTP]
[Enticing-50KTP]
[Beautiful-500KTP]
[Divine Beauty-2500] [50%DC]
Lillith knew her new form would be eye-catching, but she didn't want to draw an unprecedented amount of attention. Little did she know that nothing else in her world could fit her description, and once you saw her, you could never forget. As she was going to choose [Beautiful] Lunaire stopped her. "Lillith, before you choose, at least look at the hidden option." Lillith took another look at the panel and saw it; it was small in the corner as if someone were trying to hide it. This intrigued Lillith, so she pulled up its information.
[Perfect: You are the perfect you. Fill in the boxes with words to describe your ideal appearance. The price may vary. The Goddess of Beauty recommends you don't use her option due to it not always generating what you may want. If you proceed, choose your words wisely-? KTP]
Lillith smiled ear to ear, while Lunaire, on the other hand, sighed. "Lillith, let me guess you're going to use it despite the warning." Lillith just giggled, causing Lunaire to sigh even harder.
{Others see me as [ ], [ ], [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ].-? KTP}
Lillith smiled smugly as she filled in the spaces.
{Is this correct?}
{ Others see me as [cute], [innocent], [beautiful], [graceful], [mature], and [what I want them to see me as].-100KTP}
[Y/N]
Lillith immediately clicked yes and waited. She sat there, staring at the panel until something finally changed.
[Generation failed...]
Seeing this Lillith's heart sank and her smile faded. She couldn't help but feel disappointed and frustrated by the failed generation. "Damn it!" She screamed as she flopped back onto the floor. She then looked at Lunaire, who had a solemn expression. "What's wrong? I'm the one who made the bad decision despite your better judgment, so why do you look sad?"
Lunaire just got up, walked to the fridge, and pulled out a case of alcohol before sitting back down. Lunaire sighed heavily and handed Lillith a bottle of alcohol. "It's not just about your decision, Lillith. We both knew the risks involved, but it's still disheartening when things don't go as planned," Lunaire said, her voice filled with a mix of disappointment and understanding.
"Let's take a moment to figure out what's next," she suggested, trying to offer some comfort amidst their shared frustration. Lillith looked at the panel, [...Detecting...]. "Well, what the hell. Let's drink to my misfortune." The two drank for a few hours, leaving both drunk.
" Lunaire...what do I do now? Do I-" Lunaire smiled and leaned in close to Lillith. "Hey Lillith, did you know that someone in this room is in love with you?" Lunaire began to giggle. "Who is it?" Lunairee giggled and leaned in closer to whisper in her ear. "Me." Lillith's face flushed, but before she could say anything, she heard a chime and looked at the panel that had changed after so long.
{Due to detecting the energy of two Alurring Bounties in your ?????, a perfect generation will commence based on your words, focusing on the last one [what I want them to see me as]. 10/100% done}
Lillith was so excited to tell Lunaire the news that she turned her head, forgetting how close Lunaire was accidentally locking lips. Lillith quickly pulled away, her face turning even redder with embarrassment. She stammered an apology, her heart racing from the unexpected kiss. Lunaire, on the other hand, wasn't going to let her apologize and wrapped her arms around Lillith's head, pulling her in for another kiss
. Lillith's mind raced with conflicting emotions as she gave in to the passionate moment, her desire for Lunaire overpowering her embarrassment. So much had already happened in the past two days that she had momentarily forgotten about Rika, and the alcohol clouded her head, making her forget even more about her. Lunaire's only thought right now was, "YES! The Velvet Passion worked, Elara. You're the best." As she thought that her ring began glowing, a flame left it and disappeared.
Meanwhile, Lunaire's family is having dinner again, and Seriphina says something. "I wonder when Lunaire will release her prisoner." As she finishes, Elara falls from the sky onto her chair. "Oh well, that's ironic."
Back to what's happening in the room: Both girls have lost most of their clothing in their passionate kiss on the floor with their lower halves covered by the kotatsu. Lillith had borrowed some of Lunaire's clothes, thinking they'd be warm, not knowing that they'd be off of her within a few hours.
