So while doing household chores that she had to do by hand, Haniel’s thoughts naturally drifted in that direction.
The suspicion that she hadn’t been fully utilizing the status window until now.
Especially when looking at that new status window that had appeared recently!
| Use vitality to expand your territory and decorate your home! Current vitality: 10 Use Vitality◁ |
“……”
Yes, that.
In fact, Haniel had been intentionally ignoring that status window, but it had been tucked away in the corner the entire time she was watering her crops.
| Use vitality to expand your territory and decorate your home! |
The status window that appeared when Regan *jaculated after they almost had s*x… it had remained in the corner of her vision for days now.
It kept flashing brilliantly as if trying to get Haniel’s attention.
“Yes, I see you there, so please stop flashing.”
| Use the 10 vitality you’ve collected through your chosen ability (special privilege). |
The status window changed as if in response.
Haniel narrowed her eyes.
‘So I collected 10 vitality…’
She put down the hose and plopped down on a nearby bench.
No game or system ever gives useless rewards to users. So, judging by how flashy the status window was being, vitality must be quite a useful reward.
Haniel frowned in displeasure.
Two years ago, when she first came to this world, the status window had given a tip about using her “chosen ability (special privilege)” to collect vitality and close something called a “rift.”
Since then, Haniel had encountered various living beings while building her life in this world, but frustratingly, that vitality had shown no sign of accumulating.
But on that night with Regan, when they had a quasi-relationship, the true meaning of “using ability” was revealed.
“So you want me to have lots of s*x… is that it? Is that what you want from me?”
Haniel sneered at the status window.
“Hey, status window. What do you think I am? ‘You’re just a love-deprived hikikomori anyway, so go ahead and have all the s*x you want to collect lots and lots of s*men’… is that what you want to say? Huh? Is that it?”
Then the status window flickered as if flustered by her cold gaze, and began to display new text as if saying “look here.”
Ding!
| Tip: The system desires your health and prosperity as desperately as the continuation of this world. |
“Oh really.”
| Tip: Use your chosen ability (special privilege) to collect vitality. Vitality makes your territory more solid and expansive. The more you improve your home, the more enriched your life will be, right? Current vitality: 10 Use Vitality◁◁◁◁ |
Use vitality?
“There you go, emphasizing that phrase again. Are you confident? Really confident?”
Haniel’s gaze fixed on the sentence “The more you improve your home…”
Although sometimes it was so annoying she wanted to beat it up, the status window had provided what she needed in a timely manner since she came to this world.
‘This smug status window probably can’t provide things like washing machines or sprinklers, but still…’
What she needed right now was exactly that kind of modern item. So, how exactly was the status window planning to create a more enriched life or better home for Haniel?
After rubbing her chin for a while, Haniel sighed.
There was only one way to find out.
“Fine. Let’s take a look.”
Ding-a-ling!
| Use Vitality◀ |
The status window burst into a fanfare sound as if it had been waiting only for this decision from Haniel.
Ta-da-ran! Ta-dan!
| You have chosen to use vitality. As a reward for your excellent decision, you receive ‘Non-human Instinct Catnip Seeds’. |
“What?”
| Collect vitality and work hard to improve your home and territory! You can do it. Home upgrade! In exchange for the vitality you’ve collected, make not only necessary items but also the boundaries of your territory stronger. |
Home… upgrade? Necessary items?
“Huh…”
No way… could it be? Haniel’s small heart began to race.
Expectations often lead to disappointment. That had been the case many times before.
Upgrade, necessary items – it’s probably just something like a stable, she muttered.
But when the next status window appeared, Haniel’s heart sank.
Ding!
| Displaying elements available for purchase/upgrade. Item Purchase Washing Machine – 300 vitality Sprinkler (1) – 300 vitality |
“……”
Trembling.
Haniel’s entire body began to shake.
“What… what is this?”
What is this?
Haniel took a deep breath.
Was she seeing this correctly?
A washing machine and sprinklers? Her heart was beating so fast she couldn’t control it.
She couldn’t even blink for fear that this status window would disappear if she closed her eyes.
‘Get a grip, Lee Haneul… no, Haniel!’
“Is… is this for real?”
Is this really possible, in this way? Can I buy them like items from a cash shop?
Cold sweat seeped from her bottom sitting on the bench.
There was a reason the status window had been emphasizing this so much.
It was a miraculous moment when the status window’s credibility, which had been relatively low for two years, shot through the roof.
Why did she only find out about this now? Why had she only looked at this item purchase and home upgrade option now, after two years? Such thoughts crossed her mind, but that wasn’t important right now.
The most important thing was these words floating right in front of her.
Haniel stared at the status window with a sharpness that couldn’t be compared to when she hunted.
‘300 vitality.’
Could she really get a washing machine and sprinklers for 300 vitality?
With trembling hands, Haniel managed to click on “Washing Machine” in the status window in front of her.
Then with a ding! sound, detailed options for the washing machine appeared.
| Washing Machine Powerful and quick washing! A magical washing machine that removes all stains just by putting things in. A smart washing machine that detects and selectively washes according to fabric type and weight. Requirements: Water installation (Complete) |
“Buy it.”
Haniel’s lips moved.
Buy it. I have to buy this.
“…I absolutely must buy this! There’s no way I can’t buy it!”
But…
The status window she touched turned red.
Beep!
| Required vitality: 300 (Insufficient vitality – Current vitality: 10) |
“What? Why not! Give me my washing machine! You d*mn status window!”
| Required vitality: 300 (Insufficient vitality – Current vitality: 10) Insufficient vitality. Tip: Use your chosen ability (special privilege) to collect vitality. |
“……”
Nothing in this world comes free.
The washing machine and sprinklers were no exception.
With her strength gone, Haniel sat blankly on the bench, endlessly staring at the status window.
Once again experiencing the deprivation caused by forced non-possession that she had felt throughout her previous life…
Having little is a sad thing.
However…
‘It’s different from my previous life.’
Haniel had a home here.
Her own territory where she could exclude anything harmful to her. And a beautiful house that had been cultivated diligently for 2 years into an ideal form that could only be drawn in dreams.
Having something completely your own, a foundation that no one can take away, makes a person solid. And what about the effort and experience put into obtaining it?
In her previous life, she had worked herself to the bone almost her entire life just hoping for a single home.
So in this life, where her circumstances were much better, Haniel was confident she could do more to live a better life.
Haniel pushed her hair back.
“It might be doable… No, it is doable!”
300 vitality to buy a washing machine!
But Haniel currently only possessed 10 vitality.
It was ridiculously insufficient.
