I was in my small but cozy room in my apartment. If I didn’t felt that searing pain in my soul again I would have thoughts that it was just a dream or some kind of hallucination. After an unknown amount of time, the weird board showed in front of my eyes.
Helper Interface - created by Genesis
Interface was sucesfully implemented
Welcome “Tia”
Think “menu” to open menu tab
I sat comfortably on my bed as I started to think. ‘Ohh, this must be that interface my mother mentioned to me. It really looks like some kind of interface in computer applications. Now, this is interesting. Who is this Genesis...’ my mind froze and my face formed into an expression which looked just like that you have after an amazing meal as I felt an unexplainable feeling of something powerful, divine and deadly after I thought of Genesis ‘What was that? Such immense power! Nach, I should think about it later, now I need to get stronger, so menu ’
The old board vanished to thin air and war replaced by the new one.

You can change distribution by thinking about it
Abilites: More in Abilities tab
‘To be honest I expected something different. I thought it would look like in RPG with HP and mana. But when I think about it logically it makes total sense. This is not a game but a reality. Still, that amount of celestial energy I got right from the beginning looks like a pretty big amount’
After twenty minutes of experimenting with the menu, I got to the conclusion that I can freely change the distribution of my celestial energy. I can passively reserve it to boost parameters of my body or mind. And that it is reversible and can be changed back at any time.
‘This looks good so far. I am really not limited by some stupid levels and any change I make is reversible. So I can’t make any stupid mistake with this. Now let’s take a look at the ability tab.’

My smile vanished in frustration ‘This looks much more complicated than a stat part. And I want to just go out and start my hunt. ‘ I slapped myself ‘ No, I need to learn how to use abilities as a first thing. Alright, I have no idea what this category and subcategory means. Luckily, it looks like something not very important, at least for now.‘
After few minutes of looking through tab time to test ability finally come ‘Let’s start with some safely sounding ability. For example
I stood up from my chair, thought about Smoke form, and instinctively allowed my celestial energy to change my body on a molecular level. My cells began to change one by one quickly accelerating and changing me. It was surprisingly painless and quick. Whole process was done in three seconds. My body was now made from a black smoke-like substance only nonblack part of it were my eyes now shining with gold color.
I tried to move my arms. ‘It feels the same as my normal from. That is definitely a nice thing.’
I tried to walk and found out that I can levitate and fly in this form. My face now consisting of smoke changed to a super happy grin
‘I can fly! And it feels soo good.’
I was flying around my small room for a while before realization on how to turn back to my original form hit me ‘Ohh, hell. I hope this wasn’t something permanent panicking I thought ‘Wait, maybe I just need to focus again on
After an hour or so of other tests, I found out this. My list of all usable abilities was huge that it literally stunned me the first time I opened it. There were hundreds maybe even thousands of different abilities. Meanwhile tab to create custom abilities was so complicated that I closed it without any hesitation and made a decision to ignore it for now. In the end, I decided to keep my current abilities in quick selection because I was tired of this and had no mood to browse through that huge list. I just wanted to start hunting.
But before that, I decided to get some small snack in the kitchen at first. When I entered the kitchen I noticed two boxes on top of the kitchen table. One of them was black with golden decorations and one big, red, glowing gem in the middle of the top. Its size was around fifty centimeters. The second box was exactly the same but it was white with silver decorations and the gem was blue.
I slowly walked to them ‘Ooo, right I almost forget about that weird vial. Maybe that is inside of these boxes. But why are here two of them and they are too big at the top of that.’
I opened the black box. Inside was a letter, that vial, heavily decorated sword hold with golden ornaments of a dragon. There were also some clothes of black color. I grabbed letter from the box and started to read.
My dear daughter,
I want to help you with your journey as much as possible so I sent you this box with few gifts for you. First is the vial with… let’s call it a mysterious liquid. The second is a weapon. I wanted to send you a super SCIFI gun shooting super destructive beams of death or legendary magical wand amplifying your powers and also shooting beams of death, destruction and suffering. But then I got an even better idea, that I will rather send you an extremely sharp almost indestructible saber with a retractable blade. And the last thing is a set of clothes for any situation. This is probably the most important part of this package. Because you as my daughter need to wear pretty and luxury clothes inspired by Pentarchy’s latest fashion.
Your mother Oriane.
p.s. Keep yourself healthy and consume as much as possible of celestial energy.
p.p.s. When you finish reading this letter you will have five seconds to throw him away before it will self destruct :D
‘Like really mother, why are you sending me a sword? All the other options you mentioned were much better. Wait, I need to throw it away! ‘ my anger at the stupid decision of my mother was seated when I started to panic on how safely dispose of this letter. I quickly threw a letter into the kitchen dishwasher and hid in another room. Then I waited, waited and waited, but nothing was happening.
‘I am sure that the five seconds already passed, but nothing happened
I slowly approached the dishwasher and carefully opened the door. The letter was still there without any apparent damage. I wanted to grab him, but then I remembered that there was a telekinetic ability on the list of available abilities. So I quickly opened the menu and added telekinetic to the quick select abilities. Then I slowly levitated the letter with my newly acquired ability. Still, nothing has changed. I rotated the letter to see the other side of it. There was a short sentence.
I just wanted to remind you that you need to read the whole letter to activate self-destruction. And this side is also a part of the letter :D.
‘What? Is she serious or is this some kind of a bad joke ?’ I thought and quickly sent a letter back to the dishwasher with telekinesis.
After five seconds I felt something like an invisible force moving through the air around me. When it stopped, I opened the dishwasher again and the letter was gone. I finally breathed out in relief at no explosion.
‘Likes was that self-destruction really necessary? There we no dangerously looking information in the letter. But now I at least know how she got her nickname “Insane Queen” ‘
Then I remembered the second, white box. ‘Wait, if that black box was from Oriana then from who si this second box? Maybe father?‘
