Chapter 7 – A Genius Move and a Private Spa
The next 25 heroes she reincarnated were completely useless.
Half of them betrayed her. The other half didn't even come close to stopping the war.
55% success rate, my a**
Aerisse was mentally cursing the System while soaking in her new private hot tub.
Yes, she'd built a spa.
Inside the office.
Life was good.
But here came the real good news:
The Invisibility Hero was a total success. He made useful friends, found a super kind mentor, mastered magical elements, infiltrated major state meetings, and scared the humans half to death with the looming threat of a divine punishment.
Genius. Absolute genius.
Cut to the Invisibility Hero scaring the royal court:
"Cease this madness at once, mortals!"
The voice echoed through the hall, but no one could see the speaker.
"I was sent by the Goddess of Creation to warn you. Your actions violate the Universal Peace Accord."
Thunder cracked, heavy rain poured from a sky that moments ago was clear, a chilling wind blew out all the candles.
Panic. Screams. Pure chaos.
"Those who do not repent will suffer eternal punishment in the afterlife! Fear for your souls, mortals!"
Brilliant. Simply brilliant.
Aerisse's favorite so far.
She was definitely giving him a top-tier reincarnation next round.

Time to celebrate—
"Boss, I've got ne—"
He instantly turned his back. Poof, back to human form.
"Woah—what in the heavens?!"
"My new relaxation extension, System! Isn't it beautiful? Our very own private spa!" Aerisse spread her arms dramatically.
The towel slipped.
Oops. Good thing he had his back turned.
She quickly used her new skill to materialize a hanfu-style robe around herself.
Very useful skill, indeed.
"You know, you don't have to be so tense all the time, System."
She gently squeezed his shoulder.
He visibly stiffened. Adorable.
"So? What did you want to tell me?"
Back in cat form:
"Well, Boss," he cleared his throat,
"We've dealt with this crisis successfully, but… the next one is scheduled for a thousand years from now. And it's… slightly worse. Humanity will have greater destructive power and… it might affect the planet's fertility, its regeneration cycle—basically, it could destabilize the entire project and—"
Aerisse raised a hand.
The cat finally breathed.
"Just relax. I've got a plan."
Of course she had a plan.
"…And what plan would that be?"
Well, okay, she was still formulating it.
But obviously, it was going to be a great plan.
When had she ever come up with a bad one?
Here's the current draft:
"I'm still working out the details. But… what if I went down there myself?"
