[You Still Haven't Checked Out The Market!]

"Oh yeah, the market will have to wait," Zylus whispered. As he began to vanish from the area, he sliced off the Lesser Werewolf in an instant. "Time to go back."

The grass beneath his feet was already fading, dissolving into pixels of light as the battlefield collapsed inward. The scent of blood vanished first, followed by the heat of combat, then sound itself. His katana dissolved into black mist, sinking back into his system.

[Demonic Katana Unequipped] 

Then, he reappeared in the hospital bed he had been in for one full day now. Zylus took a look outside, "Morning already. Didn't realise how long I was fighting the Lesser Werewolf for, or maybe, time goes by slower in there than in the Demonic realm." He finished, resting his back against the pillow beneath.

[System Program: Message From Kash Mezino]

[Hey there! Me again, only one day remaining, so try to prepare]

Zylus opened his system, and started swiping and pressing buttons from left to right, curious on one thing. His rewards.

"So I've received enhanced night vision, better regeneration on a full moon, which doesn't occur very often, and sp points." Zylus said, as he began to insert each on his different attributes.

"Okay, that's a good overview. Now, let's see what I can purchase here." Zylus said, as he began to scroll downwards from the top of the tab, 'marketplace.' "Nice," Zylus whispered at the glance of both items.

"Oh, alright, that's fair," Zylus said as he finally rested his entire body on his bed. "Hold on…"

Zylus opened up his system again, smirkingly.

[Secret Objective Unlocked]

[Objective: Slay the man who ordered your father inside the Human Realm]

[Location: The Underealm]

[The Underealm: Where the most lustful and filthy rich individuals watch slaves fight for their personal entertainment]

[Click here to teleport above the Underealm]

Zylus grinned as sweat came off his forehead, "As much as I wish to do this, I'm not experienced enough to go through with this." Zylus whispered, picking himself up from his bed.

"But that's why I'll become strong enough to kill him myself, so I can transcend into the human realm."

Zylus then stood up and began stretching his body, leaving no soreness in his muscles for later. 

"Oh, wait, there's a shower in here, perfect." 

Zylus stood still for a moment, the weight of the objective pressing against his chest. The Underealm, his father, the man who had ordered it all, those weren't things he could afford to face yet. Not like this. He exhaled slowly, pushing the thoughts aside. If he stayed trapped in his head any longer, nerves would begin to set inside of him.

With that, Zylus turned toward the shower.

Warm water poured over his skin, washing away the grime of blood, sweat, and ash that still clung to him from the battle. He let his head tilt forward, resting his palms against the tiled wall as the steam slowly filled the room.

"Ahh, finally, warm water." He whispered, stretching his back.

Zylus left the door open behind him, assuming he was alone.

"No, Emilia, you mustn't."

"I'll do as I please!"

"Hey!"

"People outside?"

Emilia Scorce intruded into Zylus's room, expecting to get a response from where his strength came from. She was dressed in her same battle clothes as earlier, but her body looked even more curvy now than it did before. 

Bam!

She rapidly stepped into the shower, staring at the one man she wanted answers for… 

She began to blush, seeing Zylus's fully naked structure inside the shower. 

"You pervert!" She screamed in an elegant voice as she began to run back into her exit.

Zylus looked down, "Oh fuck, she saw this." He proclaimed as the water's heat continued to fall on him. 

The door slammed shut behind Emilia. 

[Emilia Scorce's Thoughts: Since when did that idiot get so good-looking?]

Zylus grinned, "She could've just told me that to my face next time."

He then poured shampoo onto him from a half-empty bottle of body shampoo.

[User Feels Lustful]

"Shut up, no I don't. I'm not that type of person, come on now." Zylus whispered, closing the handle of his shower.

[Why Are You Lying]

"You know what, I'm going to ignore you."

[Of Course You Ignore The Truth]

"Hey system." Zylus paused, raising a fist inside the shower, "Take this!"
