"Just one more, then I'll finish these quests!" I gritted my teeth in exhaustion.

My body trembled as I slowly raised myself. I was almost finished. "Ugh..."

"Thank goodness, it's finally over," I said, collapsing onto the floor. The orange rays of the sun streaming through the window illuminated my red eyes, making them shine.

"Not bad for a start," I muttered, sitting up straight with my legs crossed.

[E - random item

Do you want to open the E - random item?

(yes/ no) ]

"Yes!" I shouted. A circle appeared in the center of the system, obscuring the text within.

'What is this? Is the system telling me to put my hand in it?' I wondered, trying what came to mind.

I touched a sphere inside, about the size of a baseball. I pulled it out effortlessly.

The sphere was pure black, with a gold letter in the center.

( E )

I touched the letter E on the sphere, and unexpectedly, it floated out of my hands. I watched, waiting for what would happen next. The sphere floated for ten seconds, gradually changing size. After another ten seconds, the size change was complete.

I didn't know what to call it.

It wasn't that I didn't know anything; I just didn't know how to use it. It was round but flat, about 2.5 inches long and 2 centimeters wide. It looked like a large coin, but it had the face of a demon on one side and a human skull on the other. Beside the large coin were two halves, each half of the whole. They were positioned next to the demon's face and the human skull.

[ITEM NAME: love biscuit.

RANK: uncommon.

DESCRIPTION - Made by the Queen of Demons.

ABILITY: Your demonic power will increase.]

"Huh? This is it? Even the name... sigh~," I said, disappointed.

What did I expect from an E-rank item? But even if it was E-rank, it was still higher than F-rank, meaning it still had value, especially since it was made by the Queen of Demons.

According to the system, my demonic power would increase, but I wouldn't expect a large increase, so I wouldn't be disappointed later.

"Mmm~" I bit into the biscuit. It was incredibly hard... iron, stone, or biscuit?

With a bite, it cracked slightly. Even though it was incredibly hard, I managed to bite it – different from what I expected.

As the love biscuit cracked, I felt heat emanating from it. As I swallowed, it felt like it went straight to my soul. I also felt a burst of red energy throughout my body.

[NOTE: Your Demon Body skill has increased by 0.5

0.5 /100.]

[SKILL NAME: Demon Body.

RANK : 1 STAR.

DESCRIPTION: Your soul is connected to a very high demon.

ABILITY: Your body can transform into a demon, increasing all your stats by 90.05% for 00:20:30.]

Not bad. With just one love biscuit, the Demon Body skill increased by half a minute. What if I had 500 love biscuits? My strength would surely double when I used this skill. Plus, I'd get an additional 250 minutes, enough for a prolonged battle. So, even an E-rank item shouldn't be underestimated until you know what it can do.

While I was thinking about this, the system appeared again.

[The Goddess of Demons ispleased with your way of thinking.]

Huh? Goddess of Demons? Wait, what does that mean?

"Hmm... system! Is there a way to see the Goddess of Demons?" I said, with a serious face.

[DARK SYSTEM LOADING...]

Work, please work, system.

[DARK SYSTEM: There is a way, but the Goddess of Demons says it is not yet the right time.]

'The right time? huh. Interesting. I will also wait for the right time, Goddess of Demons,' I said, smiling as I held the half-eaten love biscuit.

After looking at the love biscuit I got from the E random item, the system appeared again.

[DARK SYSTEM: The Goddess of Demons agrees with what you said earlier. Therefore, you will receive a love biscuit every 12 hours.]

[ITEM NAME: love biscuit

COLLECT : 1/ ?

TIME REMAINING: 11:59:022. ]

wuoh? Goddess of Demons? I don't know why you're helping me so much. But I will accept your gratitude.

Having said that, my last reward appeared.

[REWARDS - 200 gold]

Let's see what this gold is for.

The items in the DARK SYSTEM STORE have ranks from common to rare, and if I level up the store, I'm sure there will be epic-grade items.

I looked out the window and said,

"Now it's done. Is Shane home yet?" I asked, with a smile.

I stood up Because I was sweaty. I changed clothes to greet Shane when she got home. As far as I remember, this is one of her favorite things when she comes home; she likes someone to greet her.

I finished changing, wearing a black long-sleeved shirt and white pants. I went downstairs to wait for Shane, and I also made coffee to relax my mind.

I looked at the clock it's still <4:30 P.M >. There's still half an hour before Shane gets home.

'I should cook something so she'll have something to eat when she arrives. Okay, I'll start now,' I said as I rolled up my sleeves, signaling that I would start cooking.

My cooking didn't take long because what I was making was easy. it's Just grilled cheese sandwiches and pancakes.

Grilled Cheese Sandwich:

Ingredients: 2 slices of bread, 1 slice of cheese and 1 tablespoon of oil

Cooking method: Heat the oil in a pan. Place one slice of bread, then the cheese, then another slice of bread. Grill until the bread is golden brown.

Pancake:

Ingredients: 1 cup of flour, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup of milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar

Cooking method: Mix flour, eggs, milk, and sugar in a bowl. Heat a non-stick pan. Pour the mixture and cook until the pancake is golden brown.

Within 20 minutes, I finished cooking, coinciding with Shane's arrival.

"I'm home!" Shane shouted.

"So you live here, baby girl!" a woman's voice. I didn't know who it was, but it sounded familiar.

"There are only you and your brother in this house?" a man's voice, also familiar.

"Yes, it's just me and Samuel here, as we talked about earlier, you can only stay here for 30 minutes, because if my brother finds out I brought people home, he'll get angry."

'Of all people, you're the only one who knows really me, Shane.' I said to myself, with a slight smile.

Before they reached the living room, I greeted them with a smile, and in both hands was the food I cooked.

"How was school, Shane?" I asked, smiling at Shane.

"U-um Samuel, I'll explain." Shane replied worriedly.

"Explain what? Come in and sit down," I said as I put the pancakes and grilled cheese sandwiches on the table. I also said, "Why didn't you introduce me to your friends?"

....

SHANE POV:

I arrived at school earlier, because of Samuel. I don't know why, but whenever I think of Samuel, the image of him kissing my forehead comes to mind.

"Ugh... what's wrong with me?" I muttered, sitting at my table, my hands covering my face.

While thinking about what happened earlier, a girl approached me. She had blonde hair, was beautiful, with a pointed nose, long eyelashes, and blue eyes. Nothing special about her; you could say she's of American descent. But the vibes she gave off were why I became friends with her.

"Yo! What's wrong, baby girl?" she said, peering at my face.

"Nothing, I just woke up too early, that's why I'm like this." I'm sure if she finds out my brother kissed me on the forehead, she'll freak out again.

While we were talking, a guy approached us, with black hair, dark blue eyes that always looked sleepy. He was tall but not as tall as Samuel.

"Yee? What's the problem, demon angel? Jasmine," the guy said. He wasn't talking to me, but to the girl in front of me.

"Ehhh, the demon fallen angel is here again? Robi," Jasmine said, frowning at Robi.

I don't know the history of these two, but they seem to be from a novel I read. well, it was actually Samuel's book. The title was "The Angel Who Lives With the Fallen Angel."

"Huh? Did you say something, baby girl?" Jasmine said, with a sweet face.

"Shane! Princess of Light! Don't be fooled by that girl, did you say something?" Robi said, with a sweet expression, similar to Jasmine's.

"Uh-um, you two really suit each other," I said, smiling at them. I could see their reaction; it was like they were struck by lightning.

"Huh?" both shouted, clearly disagreeing with what I said, but no matter how you look at it, they suit each other perfectly.

"Baby girl, don't say that, only I suit you," Jasmine said, hugging my shoulder, her face pleading.

"Princess of Light, if you want to love darkness, can you do it?" Robi said, with a serious face. I didn't know what he meant, so I'll just make an excuse.

"It depends on who that darkness is," I replied with a smile. Jasmine, who was hugging my shoulder, said to me,

"If that's the case, baby girl, if I become a fallen angel like that demon, will you accept my feelings for you?"

"What are you saying, Jasmine?" Robi asked seriously.

"What's your problem, fallen angel? Do you want to die?" Jasmine replied, glaring at Robi.

"Can't you see that Shane already likes someone else!" Robi said, still with a serious face.

I was surprised by Robi's statement. 'I like a guy? But who? I don't have many male friends.' While thinking about who Robi was referring to, I couldn't help but think it might be him.

"U-um, I'm sorry, but I really don't like anyone yet," I said this to understand the misunderstanding I had with myself.

"Are you sure? Princess of Light?" he said, looking straight at me.

"Hey Robi, that's a bit much." Jasmine said, worried.

"How can you say—" Before I could finish speaking, Robi suddenly spoke.

"Just kidding. HAHAHAHA" he laughed loudly.

What's with this guy? Jasmine, hearing this, got angry and punched Robi in the stomach.

"Ugh" Robi groaned from Jasmine's punch, kneeling down in pain.

"But it's true, there's some truth to my actions earlier, Shane," Robi said, holding his stomach, his left eye closed.

I didn't know what he was referring to, whether it was his earlier behavior, or the person he said I liked?
