Zosia''s eyelids flickered in an attempt to open them. After a while, her eyelids opened.

    Finally opening her eyes, she stared at the silver wall in a daze.

    『???????? ???????????? ???????????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????? ?????????????????』Asgar''s voice echoed in the room.

    Turning her head to the flickering hologram, she spoke. "For?"

    『???????? ???????????????? ????????????????. ???????? ???????????? ???????????? ???????????????????????? ???????? ???????????????? ???????????????????? ????????????????????????????????, ???? ???????????????????????????? ???????????? ???????? ???????????? ???????????????? ???????????????? ????????????.』

    "No need to worry about me."

    『????????????????, ???? ???????? ???????????????? ???????? ????????????????????, ???????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????????? ???????????? ???????????????????? ????????.

    ???????????????????? ???????? ???????????? ???????? ???????????? ???????????? ???????? ???????????????????????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????? ???????????? ???????? ???????????????????????????????????????????? ???????? ???????????????????? ???????????????????????????????? ???????? ???????????????? ???????????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????? ????????.』

    Zosia raised her head to stare at the hologram after hearing Asgar''s words.

    She scoffed not taking it serious.

    Asgar taking note of her expression continued. His voice held hurt, nonchalance and numbed emotions that were trying to find an outlet but couldn''t.

    『???????????? ???????????? ???????? ???????????????????????????? ???????? ???????????????????? ???????? ???????????????????? ???????????????? ???? ???????? ????????????????????, ???????????? ???? ???????????????? ???????????????? ???????? ???????????????????????? ???????????? ???????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????, ???????????????? ???? ???????????????? ???????????????????????? ????????????????.

    ?????????, ???? ????????????''???? ???????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????? ???????????????????????? ????????????????????, ???????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????? ???????? ???????????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????? ????????????????????????????????.』

    Zosia''s expression turned serious. Opening and closing her mouth, she couldn''t form words. Closing it, she turned her head to stare at the silver wall again. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "I will go and delete those emotions, though I wonder, could I ever see the lives of my contractors after leaving that world?"

    『????????????, ???????????? ????????????. ???????????? ???????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????????????????????????????, ???????????????? ???????????? ???????????????? ???????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????? ???????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????????????????? ????????? ???????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????????? ???????????????? ???????????? ???????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????? ????????????????????????????????.』

    At least she got her answer.

    Picking up herself from the ground, she used her hand to dust the invisible dust on her cloth, before walking towards the hologram.

    "My rewards." Settling her emotions was not as important as getting her rewards.

    『???????? ???????????? ???????????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????????? ?????????????????』Asgar asked with worry in his tone.

    "No, I am fine. Will go do the emotions thingy after we are done here."

    『????????????????????????????. ???????????????? ???????????? ????????????????????????????.』

    Zosia nodded her head at his words.

    『???????? ???????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????? ???????????? ???????????????????? ???????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????????? ????- ???????? ????- . ????????????????????????????????????, ???????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????? ???????? ???????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????? ????????????????????????????????.

    Zosia was quite surprised. She had never heard of a world upgrading itself and by so many levels.

    She wondered what rewards she was going to get and at how many folds it would triple.

    But reality always has a way of dousing one''s spirit.

    『???????????????????? ???????????? ????????????????''???? ???????????????? ???????? ???????????????? ???????????????????? ???????????????? ???????? ???????????? ???????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????? ???????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????? ???????????? ????????????????????????????????????????, ???????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????? ???????? ????????????????????????????.』

    "Are you kidding me now?" She asked, her tone rising.

    Using her fingers to comb through her hair, her face held frustration.

    『???????? ???????????? ???????????????????? ???????????????????? ????????, ???????????? ???????????? ???????????????? ????????????. ????????????????????????? ???????????? ???????????????????? ????????????????????????????.』Asgar remarked nonchalantly.

    Hearing his words she turned to glare at him even if she couldn''t see him.

    "You have luck that you aren''t in a physical form, if not I would punch you." She said with a scoff.

    Asgar chuckled and continued, 『????????????? ????????????????. ???????? ???????????????????? ???????????? ???????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ???????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????.』

    Zosia turned to him, her eyes gleaming at his words.

    "You think so."

    『????????????''???? ????????????????. ???????????????? ???????????????? ???????? ???????????????????? ???????????? ????????.』

    "You certainly did well by ruining my mood."

    『???????? ???????????? ???????? ???????????? ???????????????? ?????????????』

    Zosia ignored the concern in Asgar''s tone and spoke.

    "You certainly have been chatty today. Unlike you. Tell me- Do you perhaps have a hand in this reward? Or maybe, are you actually a Realmrider like me? Or —"

    『????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????????????????????? ????????????????. ????????????????????????? ???????? ???????????????? ???????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????????????.

    ???????????????? ???????????? ???????????????? ???????? ???????????? ????????????????????????????, ???????????????????? ?????????』

    Zosia could tell Asgar didn''t want to continue in the direction their conversation was going.

    Unwilling to probe further, she nodded her head and laid down on the floor while thinking, ''After this, I need to decorate this place.''

    『???????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????? ???????? ????????, ???????????????????? ???????? ???????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????? ???????????? ???? ????????????????????????.

    ???????? ???????????? ???????????????????????????????? ???????? ???????????????? ????????????????, ???????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ???? ????????????????????????????????.』He remarked.

    "I got merit points?"

    『????????????????. ???????????? ???????????? ???????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????????????????????? ???????? ???????????? ???????????? ???????????????????? ???????????? ???????????? ???????????? ???????????? ???????????????????? ????????????????????????.』

    "So why didn''t I get one as a military personnel. I was saving lives."

    『???????????? ???????????????????????? ???????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????? ???????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????? ???????????????????? ???????????? ????????????????????????????????.』

    Zosia was speechless, anyway the reward for the points were quite okay but they don''t suit the task she had carried out.

    Frowning, she stared at the hologram, "This rewards aren''t enough. Don''t you think you are cheating me? Considering the task rating and the level of the world."

    『????????????????. ???????? ???????????? ???????????????? ???????????????????? ???????????? ???????????????????????? ???????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ???????????? ???????? ???????????????? ???????????????????? ???????????? ???????????? ???????????? ???????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????? ???????????????? ???????????? ????????????????????????????????????.』

    "Now that''s better. Why didn''t you mention them before?"

    『???????????? ????????????????''???? ???????????????????? ???????? ???????? ???????????? ???????????????? ???????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ???? ????????????????????????????????.』

    Zosia raised an eyebrow at his answer and didn''t comment on it.

    "Then I shall take my time to sort myself out."

    She watched as the hologram disappeared.

    Breathing a sigh of relief she called upon her status.

    {Note: The first seven skills are classified under Novice Lawyer skill while the rest are Zosia Skills before she started the tutorial World and were improved upon in the tutorial world which is why the skills are recognized by the system.}

    " Wow, so many skills. I never knew I had that many skills." She said in awe.

    "Seems like some were seperated instead of putting them as one." She said her thoughts out loud.

    Zosia could not help but feel prideful as she gazed at the number of skills she had acquired especially the law skills.

    Going onward, in various new worlds, the skills would help her navigate better through some sectors.

    "Sigh! I have also become a hoarder. Isn''t this nice." She said with a genuine smile on her face.

    Would be easier for her going forward. While others worry about food, clothes and water, she doesn''t have to worry at all.

    Amidst the pride she felt, she also felt a sense of urgency.

    "Ella mentioned something about my 10th Run.

    It is best if I can keep getting the same rating or better ratings. It would keep me ahead in the game" she said with a sigh.

    Zosia made a mental note to continue pushing herself, to strive for better ratings in each world she entered.

    For she knew that the journey was far from over, and that the challenges ahead would require her to be at her very best.

    As she sat there, surrounded by the hum of the holographic interface, Zosia couldn''t help but feel a sense of excitement for the adventures that lay ahead.

    Looking at the requirements to upgrade to the next level, she decided to be faster in her missions.

    She suddenly remembered the notification she received while she was in that world.

    Clicking on the notification button, she pulled down the notification panel.

    Her gaze went down to the last notification.

    "I wonder how the carp is doing? Did it even follow me here? I better go check it." She immediately sat up and entered her space.

    Walking to the pond she had created, she saw the lovely carp still swimming comfortably.

    Zosia smiled, " How beautiful." She muttered.

    Walking towards the house, the purple holographic screen still open.

    She laid down on the sofa with an apple in her hand. Taking a bite of it, she turned her gaze back to the notifications.

    She noticed the second notification and decided to check the inventory, which she was not sure she had.

    "I really do have an inventory. Must have appeared after this Run."

    She clicked on her inventory. The screen changed to display the inventory in a separate panel.
