CHAPTER 12: SYSTEM STORE

Arianna returned to her room after Amy had left, carrying the gift Amy had given her. When she arrived in her room, she shut the door and got out of the chair.

Arianna was feeling much better now that she'd taken the water pill. Even though she felt feeble, she knew that in a week or so she would be as strong as a horse again.

Arianna decided to try the remaining two tablets and see how they worked because the water pill was so effective. She only hoped they wouldn't let her down, as the outcome would have a significant impact on her life.

Inside the room Arianna walked to her study which had a shelf cupboard filled with novels which most of them were gifts from Amy throughout the years. Arianna chuckled as she looked at the books in the shelves, to think that Amy began her preparations from a very young age made Arianna tremble with fear.

It was a good thing that she was battling this mini-villainess boss with the support on a higher entity otherwise she was going to lose. Someone who is that patient was really lethal and if it was possible, Arianna didn't want to face against this formidable foe.

Arianna sat back in her comfy chair and poured some water into a glass after placing the books on the shelf as she had a lot of things to do.

Arianna took the fragrance domain pill first and swallowed it with the help of water, feeling the pill move around in her body. The warmth from the pill spread throughout her body, and she smelt this amazing scent for a little while; it was unlike anything she had ever smelt before, yet it was fantastic.

The scent was subtle, but she could tell it didn't pale in comparison to the expensive colognes she kept on her dressing table. Arianna took the beauty pill after ingesting the fragrance domain pill, and it went down her throat with the help of some water. She felt a little drowsy after taking the two pills, so she chose to sleep in her bed.

But, because she didn't want to worry her loved ones, she unlocked the door before going to bed. She went to sleep on the bed after finishing her preparations.

The nap was just two hours long since the pills' effectiveness was spread throughout her body, modifying her system and clearing out toxins that were harmful to her body and those that remained after her first cleansing.

Arianna was sleeping when Marylyn came to take a look at her after attending a charity event to which she had been invited. The elder woman had softly kissed her baby on the forehead and quietly exited the bedroom so as not to wake her daughter from her nap.

Marylyn also told all the servants not to bother Arianna while she was gone, and she spent the time listening to nanny Juliet recount what Arianna did while she was gone. When Marylyn learnt how bold her daughter was in the face of Amy, the white lotus, she cried tears of joy.

"It's great that she's seeing those people for who they really are. Let her to do whatever she wants as long as it is not harmful to her health. Since she wants to go to a movie, make sure she's well protected in the shadows so the snake hiding in the bush doesn't hurt her," Marylyn instructed the nanny who had committed everything to her mind.

Back in Arianna's bedroom, Arianna awoke to find herself soaked all over. Her garments were stuck to her body, causing her to frown. She rose from her bed and rang the bell to summon the servants.

Arianna had gotten into the habit of leaving everything to the maids as part of her new persona, and she didn't want to raise suspicion by doing everything herself. It won't do her any good if she ends up in a lab being operated on because she is a supernatural being.

The maids were quite efficient in their work; the tub was quickly filled with warm water, and her bed linens were immediately replaced, and the wet ones removed.

Arianna sat in the tub and shooed away all of the maids who were supposed to be serving her. Arianna needed to check on the store because she had accumulated some points, and she needed privacy to do it. She didn't want anyone around as she browsed over the list.

Arianna called the store's and it appeared directly in front of her. She checked her points and saw that she had roughly 100p after completing the missions for the two days she had missed.

The daily missions will give her exactly 50p once completed, which is why she had twice the amount. The system might be upgraded, but Arianna planned to do so at a later date; for now, she just wanted to buy certain products that would be really useful to her.

Arianna looked around the store and found a variety of items, some of which she didn't like for, but some of which were useful at the time, such as some medicines, which were a little cheaper and affordable.

Among the pills, there was one that particularly appealed to Arianna, and it was a pill that would assist whoever used it in not only increasing their brain capacity but also their memory capacity.

Arianna had a tendency to forget things quickly, but if she took these pills, her brain would undoubtedly function more swiftly. Her heart ached as she looked at the price of the pills.

Each pill cost 30p, which meant she could only buy three at the moment, and a person could only take up to seven pills before they became ineffective.

It was also a good idea to take the pill while reading in order to boost and change one's mentality. She bought the pills and put them in the system's storage space because she didn't want to take them right now because dinner was near.

Arianna closed the store and reviewed the missions she was expected to complete that day as she was penniless. She still needed to study a few more books, but she was looking forward to her first culinary class.

Arianna changed her clothes with the help of the servants after her bath and joined her family in the sitting room as dinner was to be served in less than an hour.

Arianna cheerfully chatted with her mother and listened to her mother's day-to-day activities. She also sought permission to see a movie with Amy, which Marylyn approved.

Marylyn didn't ask many questions even though she was interested in what her daughter was up to. She will be relieved if her daughter overcomes these demons and grows stronger as a result. She didn't want anyone to bully her in any way.
