Gulping down, she ask me.

"T-Then, what I should do, Lilith?"

Putting down my cup, I give her a serious look and trying to be blunt while smiling.

"You can reincarnate as devil and being taken care by me. Under my protection, you should able to protect yourself from a danger. By allowing you that, you would be my slave."

"S-Slave…? And, devil… you're devil, Lilith?"

I just nod my head when she give me a look. Maybe she would think that I've already shows her my true color and personality, what kind of person I am to her and the real me. Saying thing like that isn't so easy and I'm already made a blunder by start the supernatural conversation. This is my mistake and I couldn't deny it, also there's no way in a chance that someone would agree about keeping it secret.

Although my [Luck] is maxed, there will a time when the system made a mistake and causing an error or malfunction. No system is perfect and I'm understand about what it said, it is a simple word and quote but has a deep and real meaning.

Reine-san must think through about this, although I don't mind if she suddenly decided to accept it. I'm a bit in a hurry of this since I'm have no [Peerage] members in my possession and can't rely on another [Peerage].

After all, I'm a noble. Pride is something I have, like onee-sama and it would embarrass me if I didn't have at least a single member of [Peerage]. Maybe that's what kind of thing I lack of, asides from skills and other. But sometime we have to swallow that pride to achieve something, like what onee-sama will do, to make sure herself is prepared and ready when Riser-san is coming in human world and greet her.

Only being alone even if I'm powerful in the near future isn't enough. Gains allies or companions is a must. One can't do everything alone, and can't ended up alone in the end, it will feels painful and sad to be left alone. Being alone isn't a good thing.

Even if I'm skilled and strong, without someone who accompany me, I'll surely weak and easily defeated.

But right now I have to patient, hopefully Reine-san would accept my offer and become my [Queen], although the possibility is low and it would need her a couple of days to deciding that—even if it supported by [Eroge System] and [Affection] also my maxed luck… I have a doubt it would be that easy.

But… if… if that can be easily happened, then I'm happy.

She let out a short sigh and look at me with doubtful eyes.

"Sorry, Lilith… I need to think about this. Maybe for a few days…"

As expected.

I give out a relief sigh and nodded at her words.

"I know and understand that. Take your time and please think about this. Also, please kept this with you and return it if you reject it."

I give her my [Queen] piece and cast a protection barrier to her without she know. At very least, I want her to being safe when already made a contact with me, which is a devil member of Gremory family and pretty sure she will be targeted by someone; even thought she isn't devil yet.

If she is really a Spirit, then the probability of her being harmed by others will increased. Spirit are a rare and mysterious being in supernatural world after all, as we're don't know the full details of them yet. If only we can get more information about them, maybe it will be grant us some benefits in the future.

But no use to disappointed at it right now. As this time, I have to focus on gather members for my [Peerage] and start train my skills to increase my own strength. I still haven't come up with a special move like [Extinct The Ruin] of onii-sama's after all and I only able to copy it on my own benefit.

After that, we both then leave and give our number to able contact each other.

Actually, the [Evil Piece]'s pieces can be used at anyone, but to find the right and perfect match is requires it to glow like mine. My pieces glows with crimson color maybe because of the traits of our family, which is has a crimson color as our trademark. Even our magic symbol is dyed in crimson.

The brighter the glow, the perfect match of it and compability. It's also can make one known about the candidate strength. The brighter is also the stronger its candidate. When I saw my [Queen] piece reacted like that to Reine-san, I'm already knew that she is indeed powerful than Lavinia-nee.

It's not like I say that Lavinia-nee is weak, she's strong and can withstand anyone in Maou-level, but just that's it. Reine-san more powerful than that, maybe close to god and Spirit is a being that so powerful and feels like god by the records said.

I haven't see the real yet, so I can't say it for certain how powerful is it. It's just a rough guess based on the records I've found back then when still kid.

"Okay, let's identity about [Eroge System] for sure right now."

As Reine-san already leave the café, I still there and trying to use my free time, I'm planning to check the [Eroge System] I have right now. What I want to know is about [Shop] feature. If what I think it's right, then it would provide me about anything that I can buy. Maybe it will have something like [Phoenix Tears]?

"[Shop]…"

When I say it, the list of items suddenly appeared in front of me. It's floating and transparent like always and full of items that can be bought and sold. Maybe I can sell any items that I have? It would be great if that's true though.

[Material] | [Equipment] | [Item] | [Weapon] | [Blueprint]

There's a five options floating and available for me right now when I'm opened the [Shop] feature. I don't know what kind of things inside it, so I have to check it one by one and must understand through of it. I can't waste any chance to become strong easily with this and made my love life became easier than ever.

Opening a conversation and talk with each other isn't that easy, but with [Eroge System], it's possible to made it. There's no need for me to think so deep and hard about it, the choice is always present and all I have to do is just follow it.

I knew it's like the system controlling me, but what can I do? I can't do anything as it convenient for me. Just take the benefit from it and stay sharp, don't let myself be fooled easily. Trying to be cautious is good and ignorance isn't a bliss for sometimes. That word isn't always true.

I'm currently look at the [Material] menu. There's a lot of materials to make something, especially for potions and… maybe it can even replace [Phoenix Tears] in terms of effiency and quality. After all [Phoenix Tears] is hard to obtain and not so cheap for everyone, it's expensive and usually made it so rare. That's why if someone had an ability or [Sacred Gear] that can heal anyone, it would be shocked the entire supernatural world.

Also, if it can heal devil, then it would be more shocked. Since devil can't be touched by holy magic or anything related to that, they have to depends on [Phoenix Tears] and healing is always related to holy and divine. Maybe not only devils, but other races too, but surely not human, angel, fallen angels, and so on.

After looking at the [Material], then I proceed at the next menu… which is [Equipment]. Honestly, I don't think it will be needed for me since if it to make my body protected and safe, I would only need to cover myself with my demonic energy—especially right now that I have mana and could use human magic.

But maybe I could buy and sell it to make a profit. I don't think it would look good on my appearance, since I care about that. Who would not care about their own appearance? It's important to take care of it and stay looking good. Also, since this is modern time, people wouldn't to wears something like armor or anything. They could make it into a simple yet good design that match with the era.

And next is [Item]. It's filled with goods that already being made. All of it something like [Health Potion], [Mana Potion], and many more. There's no restriction about who can be healed or used, it's mean its even can heal devils. I have to buys it when finished checks the menus. There's no need of [Phoenix Tears] if I have this. It's even have a potion to restoring demonic energy… [Mind Potion].

Is it because demonic energy similar to mind energy? I heard that mana is also the same with mind energy, but there's also said that mana is a liquid-like things that stored inside human body and could be unlocked when one capable to do it.

I will leave out the details for this later and focus on another.

Next is [Weapon]. It's obvious from what it said and displayed, it contain many weapons from different types. Something like sword, cane, polearm, staff, etc. And last is [Blueprint], the one that bug and made me curious, since it's means I can craft or make something based on blueprint I might have and this system provide me with this kind of thing.

If I had to think about it again, it's scary and frightening yet amazing and wonderful.

I'm gulped down with nervous. After all, what I posses is something that would change the entire world if it discovered and misused by someone. Maybe people who evil and bad in my opinion, they will trying to compete and do its best to get it by force.

I don't want that happen if someone able to do it.

"System, can I make [Eroge System] to bound to me forever and couldn't be stolen and taken by someone other than me?"

[Answer: It is possible. Host just can bind it to host soul and made a backup that will be stored in case of someone would try to steal it. Since this is just alpha version of [Eroge System] and needs more adjustment, host will be granted with new customized skills.]

I'm blinked and widened with smile when heard that.

Really?! I can have a customized skill?

[Answer: Yes, but only three customized skills. God apparently grant host this because it act as compesation and apology to make host use the alpha version of [Eroge System]. Therefore, God also added new feature—which is [Quest] or [Mission].]

My eyes squints when heard it.

[Quest]? So I am able to do something and it would reward me with something?

I nodded with understading. It would really benefit me and very convenient. Maybe I could gain something unbelievable and amazing. I was really lucky and my maxed luck really did the job, it's not fraud or lie. But maybe the work of it is random? Can't blame it, there's no way someone would be always lucky in their life.

Oh right, can I make my customized skills right now? And how it's works?

[Answer: Host can just think about what kind of skills it's needed when system arranged the slot and about to began the process.]

So, it's like first slot is shows up and I need to think about it?

[Answer: Yes. And it would continue until all the slots is used. That way, system will added the new skills to host [Skills] list.]

Can I undo or pause the process if I had a doubt or can't do it right away?

[Answer: Host can pause or undo it and doing it later so the advice from system is please begin doing the process when host at the right time. Although can be paused and undone, is it wise to not make a mistake and doing it right away.]

I'm nodded when hear that and it's true. I can't be careless and make a single mistake although it can be paused and undone, maybe I can't retry the process. It will give me a huge loss if that's really happen to me. Because if I like that, it's proving that I'm not smart and my intelligence status is just a fraud.

I waved my hands and sighing.

Better doing it when I'm at home and can think about it through carefully. I don't want to commit a mistake and give me a huge loss.

Right now, I'm having an important thing matter than that, which is buys potions, materials, and blueprint for what I will need. The [Shop] function doesn't have [Skill] that being sold, so I can buy skills if I want it and in my opinion, it's considered a big flaw… because grinding sometimes can be boring and people tends wanted to find a shortcut to become strong.

That's why there is exist a game with micro-transaction. Or what people usually call pay to win. It's a term used in gaming way and commonly used by gamers across the world. Good thing that I learned about it when browsing the internet; Sea of Knowledge.

—But as big and helpful the internet, it can corrupt someone with weird knowledge. Like me, who already knew about l.e.w.d things that supposedly have to wait until I'm 18, but already know about it when around 14.

I blame the internet and my curiosity.

The potions I've brought is mainly used for restoring my demonic energy, mana, also health. These three is already enough for now since I don't really encounter and involved in fight since kid. My life is really peaceful and I'm enjoying it, especially able to meet with many beautiful and attractive girls. It's one of my life goals.

But talking about beautiful girl, there is also girls—or better women—who I suspect currently interested to me. They are very close to me, can be considered family… I mean, they're my mother, Velenana Gremory (nee Bael) and Grayfia Lucifuge. I'm not narcisstic or overconfident, but pretty sure they're harbors feelings towards me.

The problem is, how in Satan name that okaa-sama, who is my birth mother and family—see me in that way? Even Grayfia-nee, they're already have husbands and susposedly straight, not into girls like me. Yeah, I know it's wrong to human society, but it's not a problem in supernatural society. Even i.n.c.e.s.t or forbidden relationship between family can be considered normal. A bit normal.

Society still can't accept it.

It feels wrong for me. Our skinship is also reached the wrong level. Sometimes I can see and spot that they're do it intentionally. But fortunately, I'm far away from home and them right now, then I can be at least free from that and think about it again.

For the [Blueprint], I bought a lot, especially for [Phoenix Tears]. I can sell it in black market with a huge price and set up a connection. I'm not planning to sell all of it, since that would be raise the suspicious of people and of course it's not fake [Phoenix Tears].

Making a connection and relationship through trade is one of thing from past and history. It's not used in past only, but in modern time still being used and proving that it's so effective and efficient. Company always doing that to maintain their business. Also several organization.

Why I'm not planning to sell the [Health Potion], [Mana Potion], and so on? Because do it directly will be dangerous. Slow and step by step is a must.

Also, I'm surprised it can be bought by real money. I'm rich enough to buy it in large amount and luckily, I can store it in [Inventory]. Very convenient. But devils can also use something like [Inventory], albeit not so amazing like that. And it's hard to learn and use it.

Not every devil can learn and master it, the one who have and own [Dimensional Storage] are usually high-class devils. The low-class one must climb their way to become high-class and able to master it, though there's a case that even low-class can learn and master the usage of [Dimensional Storage]. They're being called genius, irregular, anomaly, etc.

Because it feels like their whole existence is deny every limitation that placed to the low-class. I don't know what it called… Plot Armor? Deus Ex Machina? If I used the right term from fictional world. Though Deus Ex Machina is a term for god of machine itself.

"But I wondered, why did I have an ability like this…?"

I mumble that while looking down and thinking about it with curiosity. This is the thing that really bug me and make it harder to ignore, because as the system said it given to me by god but why… why would they give it to me? It's not the Biblical God? If not, then who…?

System, please answer me, who is the god that give me this [Eroge System] and what is the reason behind it?

[Answer: That information is classfied.]

My eyesbrow is twitch when hear that and didn't really like what it said. It's really going as I predicted, there's no way it would be given the information about it so easily but I guess it's doesn't matter and just living with it.

I mean as long as it's not harm me, I'm okay with it. The [Eroge System] is also in alpha step or version, it would requires a lot of work to make the final and perfected version of it. But just to be sure, I should ask this to the system, for my safety.

System, although this is still alpha, can you ensure the safety of it? I don't want it harm me in any way.

[Answer: Request confirmed… request accepted… searching the information in database… finished.]

I'm gulped down and really curious about it.

[Answer: According to the information that system acquire in database, system will 100% ensure the safety of host and protect host at any cost. The protection system will be applied to host. The security of host is confirmed.]

I'm smiled with relief when hear that and can relax a bit with it. Because I just hope there's no need for me to involved in fighting, battle, or war.

—But that's just the beginning of it. As I'm not aware of the impact that changed everything, little by little.
