Chapter 14
[] Optimization complete.
===
[Good morning Lilith, how was the nap?]
===
Lilith opened her eyes, and she heard the words of Alpha. She groaned and grumbled, saying that her head hurt. She felt a lump on the back of her head, a really s.h.i.+tty and painful b.u.mp.
It was annoying.
"You couldn't help heal it when you were rebooting the system?"
===
[That is not in my jurisdiction. Suck it up. You're good at that anyway.]
===
Sighing, Lilith stood up. She just realized she was in a bed, and on her right was a beautifully finished wall, and on her left was a wall with a gaping hole in it.
At least the ceiling and floor were intact.
She checked her body for any kind of damage, but only the lump stood out. Confirming she was fine, and there was no need to worry, she closed her eyes and took in a deep breath. She was calm once more and then proceeded to open the status.

"Hooo, now this is more convenient."
Instead of laying everything at once, she was only shown what she wanted to see.
Lilith was somewhat satisfied with this one, and earlier, she noticed that some subtle changes like the check and the reminder.
The system is now much more precise, not cl.u.s.tered, and annoying to follow. It was like a breath of fresh air for Lilith.
But she found something she didn't want.
[] Note: You have been granted the surname Qurenara, your followers will now share the same last name as you and will become your family. Lilith, killing a member of your family for no reason will result in a deduction of LVL, Stats, and Life Essence. But if there comes a time when you need to do it, you will be granted the choice to do whatever you need. The indicator will be a Yellow Name.
'She managed to see through me, huh.' Lilith planned on killing her followers after this whole thing was over. But it seems like it was now impossible. Then again, these guys should have their uses in the near future, so she let it go.
Getting up, Lilith noticed she had no kimono wrap around her.
'It must have disappeared when the system got rebooted.' Her kimono was clothing created from her MP. She only needed to think about and then, presto, once again, she was dressed.
'Convenient as usual.'
After dressing up, she opened the new addition, which is the follower tab.
[] [Dhampy Qurenara (Dhampir) LVL 18]
[] [Sylva Qurenara (Silberofer) LVL 15
She clicked the name of Sylva and opened her status for the first time.

The status of her follower s much detailed this time around. Lilith observed Sylva's status, and she began to doubt. The Pa.s.sive Skills she had was not something she liked.
Mana Transfer and Life Transfer are both skills
With a sigh, Lilith brushed it off and accepted her status without creating any trouble for herself. She has some uses, so accepting her was not so hard.
Her MAG was high enough to give Lilith's One Horn form a run for its money though Sylva's active skill was a one-time use one, it should all be worth it.
Lilith stood up after seeing all these. She did not want to delve deeper into the pa.s.sive skills Sylva possesses. Quite frankly, she didn't care about it either way.
Stepping out of the room, Lilith came across Sylva carrying a basin and a towel about to enter her room. Sylva was startled, and the water in the basin was poured at Lilith.
"Master Lilith, I am sorry!" Sylva was troubled, it would be normal for Lilith to be angry right now, but Lilith simply looked at her with indifference.
"Be careful next time."
"...okay, master."
"Don't call me master, call me boss, or family head now that you are a member of my family. Call Dhampy and gather in front of the mansion."
"Y-yes, boss head."
Watching Sylva run to get Dhampy, Lilith shook her head, 'She's too tense.'.
"[Shop]"
Running to find Dhampy, Sylva was panting, trying to catch her breath.
"Lady Dhampy, the boss head, is calling us to the front of the mansion!"
"Alright...you don't need to run, right?"
"No, no, I want to be of use to boss head...I don't want to be abandoned for being useless."
Dhampy was silent. This was her second time encountering a 'unique' daemon. She showed no emotion on her face, but as someone of the same familia, she taps Sylva's head without saying anything.
Dhampy motioned with her chin for Sylva to follow her to the front yard.
"What does boss head mean?"
"Boss head told me to call her that."
Lilith was already at the front yard, standing at the very top of the stairs, she looked down upon them for the first time. Looking down upon her two followers, Lilith felt somewhat accomplished.
'As the boss, this position is just right.' She had a petty thought her previous self wouldn't even care about.
Clearing her throat, Lilith looked down upon the two. She smiled and spoke.
"Alright, I'll keep it simple. I am Lilith Qurenara, the G.o.ddess Letza gave our surname, and whether you like it or not, you are now under me. As such, we will be moving forward according to the will of the G.o.ddess and my own. First, we shall hunt; increase our level, and evolve."
Sylva raised her head and clenched her fist. But it wasn't just her as Dhampy was the same.
"But before we head out, Dhampy, take this with you."
"A sword?"
The sword on her hand had no sheath, and its sharpness was not that good. But upon touching the 11 inched sword, she showed a satisfied expression. At least her eyes did. She waved it around; Lilith and Dhapy then received a notification from the system.
[Dhampy: Swordsmans.h.i.+p (A) (restricted)]
She decided to ignore that.
Lilith then turned to Sylva and asked.
"What weapon are you good at?"
"I-I'm not sure. But a sword will also be good."
Lilith nodded her head and pulled out a sword from out of nowhere.
[Life Essence -300]
She threw the sword to Sylva and showed a smile. Let's go; we need to hurry. I want to collect many Life Essence before the sun goes down.
They walked out of the illusion, and Lilith turned into an Ash Leopard. Unlike Dhampy, who was accepting of the situation when she saw it, Sylva's mouth opened in disbelief.
"Are you by chance a shapes.h.i.+fter?"
"No, this is me, and the One Horn is also me, get over it already."
"It is rather complicated."
"Then stop thinking about it."
Sylva shut her mouth, and Lilith got ready to leave. But they had to stop after a few seconds, Lilith turned around and saw Sylva lagging behind.
Sylva felt her gaze, and she showed a smile saying:
"Please go on ahead; I will catch up."
Lilith contemplated and felt a headache coming in.
"Dhampy, take the luggage with you."
"Yes, boss head."
Dhampy did what she was told. Taking the slow Sylva on her shoulder and running just behind Lilith, it was quite a sight.
On the other hand, Lilith was thinking something baffling.
'What's a boss head?'
