********************

Day of Sunar, 6:01 a.m.

Female Dormitory, Temple of Priests Private Compound, Luxen City.

[Greater Origin Enchant].

Dark red lightning appeared on one of Vivian’s demonic hands.

She was in her Greater Demon formed because she didn’t want to experience the pains of her menstruation.

[Halo].

The moment the golden ring which was appropriate for her 3-meter-tall body started to manifest on her back, the dark red lightning immediately crawled from her hand to her back and was being absorbed by the ring until it grew into a giant golden portal.

She deactivated [Halo].

Brrrrr...!

Her stomach growled.

[Greater Origin Enchant].

She ignored her hunger.

[Halo].

Some of her eyes turned to the clock.

6:02 a.m….

She deactivated [Halo].

Brrrrr…!

Her stomach growled again.

[Greater Origin Enchant].

[Halo].

She deactivated [Halo].

Brrrrrr…!

Her stomach growled once more and this time, she palmed her stomach.

[Greater Origin Enchant].

What’s wrong my stomach…?

[Halo].

It hasn’t stopped growling since last night…

After eating her takeout meal at around 8:00 p.m. due to the unexpected hunger despite eating around 6:00 p.m., she was revisited by hunger around 11:00 p.m. And since she didn’t have any extra takeout meals and the Cafeteria was also closed, she decided to endure her hunger and waited until the delivery service that Lorei promised her yesterday would come.

She glanced at the clock once more.

6:03 a.m.

Should I just go to the Cafeteria myself…?

She shook her head.

I could’ve done that around 5:00 a.m…

Compared to the other shops inside the compound, only the Cafeteria opens at 5:00 a.m. To be specific, the Priests and Priestesses assigned to the Cafeteria would go there around 4:00 a.m. to prepare and then would start serving at 5:00 a.m.

***

A couple of minutes later…

Brrrrr…!

Vivian’s stomach growled and some of her demonic eyes turned to the clock.

6:43 a.m.

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE DELIVERY PERSON…!?

Tch!

She clicked her demonic tongue and it made a weird sound because it was accompanied by a heavy distortion along with a slight screeching and guttural sound due to the inhuman structure of her mouth.

SO MUCH FOR TRUSTING THAT LOREI…!!!

[Greater Origin Transformation].

Blaaak!

She transformed into her human.

How could I have forgotten that I can’t trust the word of women…?!

Women are notorious for being so flaky…!

And as she waited for the pains of her menstruation to come rushing at her like a wave, to her surprise, although the pains did come, it wasn’t as powerful compared to the last 2 days.

She raised an eyebrow as she palmed her stomach.

I’m already recovering…?

She let out a sigh.

“Like they always say, if you want something done right, you got to do it yourself.”

Vooom!

She turned into a blur as she began preparing.

***

7:01 a.m.

Vivian stepped out of the Female Dormitory building and immediately headed to the Cafeteria.

She suppressed the urge to palm her stomach.

Hmm…

I’m really recovering…

If I take 3 Menstral Powders I’ll be close or around 90% back to normal…

One of the things that Vivian’s mother taught her was to only drink medicine after eating a meal. Whether that’s true or not, she doesn’t know because she rarely got sick due to her strict and active lifestyle.

Brrr…!

Her stomach growled.

She quickly palmed her stomach as her cheeks turned red and she looked around if there was anyone nearby.

A couple of meters ahead, she saw a Brown Cloak in her mid-teens sweeping the ground.

Since the compound was a private compound where only Priests and Priestesses were allowed to enter and stay, they couldn’t hire any outsiders to do the cleaning.

Vivian’s eyes focused on the white and young skin of the Brown Cloak Priestess. Her mouth turned watery as an image of her biting, ripping and devouring her flesh flashed inside her head.

She quickly shook her head as she continued walking.

What the hell…?

When did I become a disgusting pedophile...?

When she finally reached the Cafeteria and stepped inside, her brows knitted together.

What’s going on here…?

She swept her gaze around.

It’s still 7:00 a.m., right…?

So why is the place empty…?

There were no customers and there wasn’t even any staff waiting behind the counter.

Well…

Today is the day of Sunar…

So may--…

She shook her head.

I’ve been here on a Sunda-- I mean Sunar morning before…

“Whatever.”

She went over to the counter and focused on the opened door behind the counter which led to the kitchen.

Sniff.

Sniff.

Someone’s cooking…

Knock, knock.

She knocked on the counter.

“Hello? Is there anyone here?”

Knock, knock.

She waited for about 5 seconds before knocking again.

“Hello?”

A White Cloak Priest in his early 30s came to the door.

It’s him…

It was the same Priest that Vivian saw last time when came to ask Criselle about training.

What was his name again…?

His name was Rex.

“How may I help you, sister?”

“I want to order my free meal today and 2 takeout meals today.”

Rex blinked a couple of times.

Vivian suppressed the urge to raise an eyebrow.

Why the fuck is this idiot acting surprised…?

Don’t you work in the fucking Cafeteria…?

“Of course, sister. But I can only serve you with the meals that I’m currently cooking.”

Are Priests and Priestesses all this lazy…?

“No problem,” Vivian said and smiled.

Definitely lazy…

***

Vivian was sitting on the table and in front of her was her meal -- bread, two sausages, a bowl of boiled beans, a bowl of meat stew, a glass of beer and a glass of water.

She tore a piece of her bread, dipped it in the meat stew, and then ate it.

Her brows knitted together.

Hmm...

That’s weird…

She picked up a spoon and then scooped a spoonful of the meat stew.

Hmm…

She scooped a spoonful of the boiled beans.

Hmm….

Still the same…

She placed her spoon down, picked up her fork, stabbed one of the sausages and then took a bite.

Hmm…

She placed the fork and sausage down and then picked up the mug of beer.

Sip.

She took a sip and then placed it down.

What’s going on here…?

Is this another issue related to my [Greater Origin (Greater Chaos) Mastery]…?

Ever since I learned that [Greater Origin Transformation]…

My appetite increased…

But food seems tasteless…

Last night, I thought it was because the food was no longer hot or fresh…

She picked up a spoon and then scooped a spoonful of the meat stew.

But it’s still the same taste…

If she were to describe the food she was eating, it still tasted delicious. However, it was like being on a strict vegetarian diet or only eating fruits and vegetables when you’re craving to eat meat.

***

Vivian stepped out of the Cafeteria with 2 takeout meals wrapped in brown paper on her hand.

She let out a sigh.

Time to go back to the dorm and train…

Hmm…

I wonder when is the Pilgrimage-thingy that Sister Annabelle mentioned…?

Is it tomorrow…?

I need to tell her my decision…

I don’t want to miss it…

She began walking.

But in case I miss it…

Well…

I’ll just focus on leveling up my [Greater Origin (Greater Chaos) Mastery]…

Level 6 is (??/20,000)…

It will probably take me 3 days…

I wonder what’s next…?

(??/100,000)…?

Because Level 1 was (??/0)…

Level 2 was (??/200)…

Level 3 was (??/1,000)…

Level 4 was (??/2,000)…

Level 5 was (??/10,000)…

And Level 6 is (??/20,000)…

So it’s got to be (??/100,000) for Level 7, right…?

I mean…

If I were to follow the sequence…

Vivian finally reached the Female Dormitory.

***

10:01 a.m.

Temple of Priests Office Building, Temple of Priests Private Compound, Luxen City.

Vivian was walking on a corridor.

After taking 3 Menstral Powders, she felt almost as good as new.

Would Sister Annabelle be in the Library Room…?

I mean…

It’s the day of Sunar…

Have I ever visited here during the weekends…?

She tried to recall her memory.

I can’t remember…

When she finally reached the Library Room, a dark expression flashed across her face.

“Fuck.”

The door was closed.

The room where she and Annabelle had their meeting popped inside her head.

Right…

She could be there…

She headed to the room next door and her dark expression returned.

“Fuck! Seriously?”

Knock, knock.

She knocked on the door.

Click, clack.

She grabbed the doorknob and then twisted it.

“Of course! Why wouldn’t it be fucking locked?”

I swear to God that everyone here is fucking lazy…!

Like seriously, super fucking lazy…!

She let out a sigh.

“Well… Nothing to do but go back to training, I guess.”

She looked around her surroundings.

Hmm…

Is it just me or does the entire compound feel so empty…?

Although the compound wasn't as noisy compared to walking in the streets, there would still be some noises, like people chatting, the sound of footsteps on the corridor or hallway, doors closing and opening, and etc. But right now, it was too quiet. It was like going to school during the holidays. There would still be people like the guards, teachers, janitors and a handful of students, but it wasn’t as lively compared to school season.

“But then again, have I really paid attention to such things?”

She shook her head.

“Whatever.”

She began walking.

Back to the dormitory…

As she was walking on the corridor, 3 people emerged from a corner and were heading her way.

Grana was in the middle, Joshua was on her left side and Gillian was on her right.

Vivian knitted her brows slightly as she discreetly checked out Grana.

So that’s a Red Cloak…?

And she looks young…

Late 20s…?

So age isn’t a factor when becoming a Red Cloak…?

What about the Holy Crusade points…?

She shook her head mentally.

Given her age…

She’s mostly assigned at a low-ranking office…

When Vivian and the 3 were about 5 meters away, Grana stopped and turned to Vivian.

“You’re Sister Vivian, correct?”

Vivian stopped.

“Huh?”

Grana raised an eyebrow.

“You are Sister Vivian, right?”

“Ah, yes, sister.”

Grana continued to raise her eyebrow as she lowered her gaze and gave Vivian a proper look through her glasses.

Why is she giving me that look…?

Does she expect me to be excited or terrified that she, a Red Cloak, is talking to me, a White Cloak…?

I will admit…

You’re cute…

But you’re not that cute, bitch…

And plus, you’re old…

Also, I’m far more talented than you, you worthless lazy bitch…

Joshua turned to Grana with a warm smile.

“High Sister, please excuse Sister Vivian. It hasn’t been long since she joined our Temple,” he said and then turned to Vivian. “Sister Vivian, this is High Sister Grana, the headmaster of the Temple of Priest Public Office Building here in Luxen City and you may address her as High Sister.”

Eh…?

There’s a practice like that…?

Vivian lowered her head slightly.

“Forgive me, High Sister. Yes, I’m Sister Vivian.”

“Where are you assigned?” Grana asked.

Vivian raised her head.

“Assigned…?”
