Necro scratched his head, his thoughts spinning. "Wait a minute, she mentioned those life-forgers as enemies, but it's right there on my list..." A drop of sweat started on his forehead.
Faye interrupted, her voice light. "Did that slime hit your head?"
Necro blinked, surprised by the sudden interruption. "No, just thinking about each job listed here..."
Faye's voice was playfully accusatory. "Lost in your thoughts, huh? Maybe that slime did give you a bump."
Necro chuckled nervously. "Yeah, something like that."
Necro hesitated for a moment, his eyes narrowing as he regarded Faye. He was torn between telling her about his concerns and trusting her completely.
Faye tilted her head, her expression curious. "Something on your mind?"
Necro nodded slowly. "Yeah. I've got a question for you. What happens to you if I die?"
Faye's response was matter-of-fact. "I cease to exist. Poof, gone."
Necro's eyebrows raised. "So, you die?"
Faye laughed. "Oh no, silly. I'm not a real being. I'm kind of like an illusion, a creation of the system in your head."
Necro looked intrigued. "Wait, do you have access to the system?"
Faye shook her head. "Nope, not unless you give me permission."
Necro pressed further. "And are you loyal to me?"
Faye's tone was playful but assured. "Of course, silly. Even if you tried to assassinate all skill seekers, I'd have to stay loyal. It's in my programming."
Necro's eyes narrowed, his tone serious. "Alright, then. Let me be blunt with you. I'm going to grant you access to my system, and I want you to look at my job list. There are two strange jobs on there."
Faye's voice carried a mix of curiosity and caution. "Life forger and jobless, huh? Life forger... Oh, wait, the life-forger is disabled, so nothing to worry about. As for jobless, it's not in my database. But you could ask the system to show you the skills from each job."
The system's voice chimed in. "Certainly, here's the detailed job list with all descriptions and all skills."
Necro's voice held a touch of uncertainty. "Alright then, let's do it."

Faye's voice broke the silence. "Well, that's quite the list. But you know, I just noticed something interesting."
Necro's gaze sharpened. "What is it?"
Faye's voice was thoughtful. "In my database, you were supposed to have an indicator showing points for each faction. But what you have instead is an indicator showing karma, good or evil."
Necro's eyes widened as realization hit him. He was beginning to understand that his situation was even more complex and layered than he had initially thought.
Faye's voice chimed in as Necro stared at the slime drops. "Hey, before we forget, it's a good idea to gather those slime drops. One of them looks like transparent skin, and the other is a small ball about the size of a thumbnail."
Necro cautiously picked up the slime skin, and as he did, a notification popped up. "Slime skin obtained," Faye narrated. "Considering its size, you could probably craft a single glove for your right hand with it. It might offer some protection."
Necro examined the small ball in his hand, and Faye's voice continued. "Now, go ahead and grab that slime core. It could be quite valuable. You could use it for magical enchantments or even to learn magic itself."
Necro's fingers closed around the core, and the system's notification filled the air. "A DNA signature from a living being has been detected. Do you want to activate the LIFEFORGER JOB AND SKILL?"
Necro hesitated for a moment, his mind racing with possibilities. He then looked to Faye, seeking her advice.
