Yueting has always had a lousy life. She was already an adult. She used to study her ass off in school, yet she ended up on the streets, spending her money only on alcohol. One night, like...

Yueting read the letter, and it was obvious to her that there was a downside to the system; otherwise, why would Kyo give it away to her? It wasn't in the book, but since Kyo gave Yueting the necklace, it must be a part of the system. Yueting continued looking through the book. There was a page at the end, but it was ripped out, and only part of it was visible.
Yueting couldn't figure out what this meant; surely, there was no way to get rid of the system. Because if there was a way, Kyo would've used it and not given the necklace to someone else. "Ugh," this was too much for Yueting.
This was the last sentence, besides the ripped-out page.
Yueting sighed as her tummy growled. She stood up and walked downstairs, feeling the need to grab something to eat before sleeping. Upon arriving downstairs, she noticed a rather young woman assisting Akari. "Hello there! You must be the adventurer my mother mentioned. I'm Yumi!" Yueting realized that this was Akari's daughter. "I'm Yueting. Nice to meet you." Yueting wasn't fond of talking much, especially not to strangers.
"Are you here to eat? I've already prepared something special for you!" Yumi exclaimed. Yueting sat down at one of the tables Yumi led her to. Without a minute passing, Yumi brought out a lot of food. "Can I sit down with you? Mother told me you are an adventurer. Can you tell me about your adventures?" Yumi asked, showing a keen interest. "I can't really tell you much," Yueting replied.
"Aww. Can you please at least tell me your attributes? Are you a mage, or a sword fighter perhaps?" Yumi inquired, displaying maturity but also a fascination with adventurers. "I'm a swordsman, though I can pretty much do everything on a basic level," Yueting explained. She could have been like a god in this world because of the system if it weren't for the bad aftereffects.
"Ohh! So you could heal too? That's so cool," Yumi exclaimed. "Why? Do you want to become an adventurer?" Yueting asked. "Mhm... well, my mother wants me to take over the inn one day," Yumi admitted. "But do you?" Yueting probed. Yumi deflected the question with a cheerful response, "Well, let's not bother about that and eat first!" Sensing Yumi's evasion, Yueting silently ate.
Upon taking the first bite of the steak Yumi brought, Yueting's eyes lit up. "THIS IS SO GOOD!" Yumi laughed, "Thank you, my mother is really good at cooking." After eating, Yueting went upstairs to sleep after saying good night to Akari and Yumi. Upon plopping onto the bed, Yueting didn't take much time to fall into a deep sleep.
