---Ellery's View--- --3:35PM - That Day--

How did I get roped into this...

I am now using my magic to build a house, that looks like a blacksmith building from a minecraft village with crude stone colours and some faint patterns along the wooden parts.

At least I got some levels for the skill though. 'Status'

When did 'Human Form' get a level? Oh well, it helps.

Next time the idiots (Jake and Dad) try to make me do this I'll make sure they're punished accordingly.

As for the slime...

I glance back and I see the slime just sitting still waiting for the answer to the question they asked. What would possess you to ask ME of all people to be a 'Queen' if there was a 'worst suited for the role' category I'd be number one.

I don't even know why the idiots want this kind of building.

*CLANG*

What. Was. That.

I scramble up and walk into the building to see...

"Jake... what the hel-"

"Shh, this needs concentration." Dad interrupts.

I look at Jake who sits upon a darkened stone embedded into the grey cobble-patterned concrete floor. He's wearing his black and forest-green cargo pants and... he's shirtless, just why.

*CLANG*

The hammer keeps hitting the metal, flattening it to a methodical rhythm. Each hit pushes it to cover the reinforced bronze table, I don't have any idea how they knew the mix for bronze...

As I glance around I can see the differences in the building. I see the part of the building where Jake is has a few different tools. One of them is the forge and another is the table that Jake is using, there's also a giant stone wheel that I assume is the sharpener, there's a stone basin with iron covering the inside layer containing ice water.

The walls are silver and it looks like, brick? Did they paint it... where did we get paint!?

In the end it looks kind of, like our house.

"Ellery."

"Hmm?" I turn around to see the orange slime with red and yellow streaks moving around the body like threads.

"Ah. Shue what's up?" I ask while I feel sweat trickling down the back of my head dropping from my brown hair.

As I seemingly meet their gaze I feel almost mesmerized with the red and yellow threads moving in many different directions as if they were alive yet, indecisive. How relatable.

"Are you going to answer my question?" Shue snaps me out of my daze while simultaneously reminding me of the sudden question he asked me a half hour ago.

"What does being a 'Queen' even mean." I ask Shue with a deflecting intent in my voice that they seem to question for a moment.

"Well for one, as you're 'Queen' all de-buffs are cancelled as long as the 'King' stays alive. I can almost guarantee that'd be forever! Kehehehe." Shue says with a borderline arrogant voice.

"So what if it does! Wait..."

"Yup."

"You serious?"

"Already asked the system."

"How do we do this?" I inquire taking a 180 degree turn in my opinion.

"You sure? You can't reverse this." Shue asks while staring into my eyes, I think.

I gather my thoughts. If I became 'Queen' of Gluttony and Abstinence then my title de-buff would be removed, giving me the maximum amount of power possible in the short term.

The main problem is what would happen to my long-term abilities, the system gave me {+5} to Constitution, Strength and Intelligence and my 'True Value' went up by 20 times that.

The effect it has will probably disappear but... it should, no it will be worth it.

"I'm sure. I need to make sure these idiots survive." I point behind me with my thumb, completely ignoring the continuous clanging sounds from within the primitive house.

"Alright then."

[The 'King' of Gluttony and Abstinence, Xue Amari Kempf has chosen you to be their 'Queen' do you accept?]

[--| Yes / No |--]

'Yes'

The ants are back...
