The Villain s RedemptionThe Villain s Redemption
When Lily woke up, she was already in her white space. She sat and wiped the tears in her eyes. She didn't even know why dying made her so emotional this time. It's not like she didn't expect this before coming into the world. She heard the system update her about her current points but all of it seemed to become a blur, an echo of something she couldn't understand.
She sighed and stared at her hands where her ring used to sit. This time, she died of cancer. She knew she was dying and had the time to put the ring on her space. She stared at the huge diamond that he insisted she wore.
Chuckling, another tear rolled down her cheeks. It was just a few seconds and she had already forgotten his name. They live ten years traveling that world and in just a few seconds, she already forgot about him. But what did she expect?
It's not like this was her first rodeo. She already forgot everything about the previous worlds. It wasn't new to her. But why does it still hurt like it was the first time?
Lily couldn't help the laughter full of mockery from escaping her mouth.
"Show me my current stats," she said just as she started to forget what he looked like. Then she wiped her wet cheeks. Sometimes she couldn't understand her actions. Leaving the world should have made her happy. It was another successful mission. Another points that she could use. She should laugh and celebrate.
And here she was. Crying.
Right now, she couldn't even remember the reason why she was crying.
Tragic.
If only she knew why she was doing all this.

Lily nodded the fact that she only has 1100 coins was a little depressing. However, this is just what it is. She didn't work hard enough to activate more hidden quest. "Give me the options for a vending machine." Soon, her face turned placid, memories of the things that happened in the previous world were slowly becoming a blur to her. She could feel her heartbreak along with it. Lily laughed inwardly. Sometimes forgetting something is not really bad. But every time she forgets, every time the system would remove her memories, a part of her chest would ache.
Sadly, she couldn't even remember why she was hurting anymore.

[Three Reward Chest detected.]
{Open Chest now?]
This immediately caught her attention. Reward Chest? "What is that?"
[An extra reward for some hidden missions that the host triggered] the robotic voice echoed.
"Weird. Alright… open it!"
[Opening Chest in three, two, one]
[Reward Chest number one - For turning the Female Lead stronger - Reward 100 coins. Accept?]
Huh? Lily stared at the transparent screen. The specific details about her life were already blurred but she could still remember the male lead and the female lead. After all that happened the female lead became a scheming b*tch that would never allow anyone to trample her. While the male lead turned into a killing machine that would do everything to defend the female lead.
"Accept." In the end, she accepted it. That world had nothing to do with her anymore.
[Reward Chest number two - For turning the Male Lead stronger - Reward 100 coins. Accept?]
"Of course, I will accept!" Sarcasm was rich in her tone. "Robot, is this a part of the system upgrade?"
[Yes.] It answered shortly.
"Why didn't you tell me about this?"
[The host didn't ask.]
"…"
[Open Third Chest, now?]
"Yes. Open it."

[Status: Healthy]
"…" Lily sighed. "Do you know about the next world? Is it going to be a Level C now?"

"What's that supposed to mean? When is this next upgrade?"
[Next Upgrade requirements]
[Ten completed missions]
[Ten thousand coins]
[Status: Healthy]
"So… I need to earn ten thousand coins for the payment. Awesome." This system doesn't really give a lot of quests. And the rewards are really not that big. How was she supposed to earn ten thousand coins? "Alright. Take me to the next world."
[Option to chose theme activated. Show themes?]
"Show." Lily didn't have the time to think about it anymore. It's not like thinking about it would change anything.
[Contemporary- 500 coins reward]
[Magical - 1000 coins reward]
[Apocalyptic-2000 coins reward]
Slowly, a smile appeared on Lily's face. Now, she understood that the upgrade was actually giving her a lot of good things. "Eh?" She froze when she noticed the ring in her hand. Why was she suddenly holding a ring? She couldn't remember anymore. After a few seconds, she realized the ring must have been important to her. So she tossed it back on her space. "Alright… let's chose the magical theme!"
