Lily woke up at 10 and Aaron was already up. When she came into the living room, he was making breakfast for them. She was pleasantly surprised that he didn't take things out of the system, but instead it looked like he had been out shopping because there was a big bag on the table with groceries.
"Looks like you put the ring to good use." she said, setting the table.
"All of us who have played computer games or read fantasy books have always wanted to touch a real space ring." said Aaron who was busy frying bacon on the pan.
Lily sat down at the table and repeated the words 'fantasy' and somehow it sounded good but bad at the same time. She had always dreamed herself of being reincarnated in a fantasy world if she died or of being married to a gorgeous handsome god. Now she had instead been resurrected and her human world had been invaded by other beings from other worlds. She didn't know why and there was definitely another reason besides enslaving humanity. All gods and other beings had already become slaves to the system, and she would free them all in the future. Unfortunately, she was not strong enough to fight the gods alone and did not yet know how many existed. She knew from reading many fantasy and wuxia stories that you should be careful and instead play dumb so no one would suspect you.
If that god was spying on them via the system, was she being spied on too?
"Am I being spied on by a god?" she asked nervously.
"No, because your body is special. You are not a human but a demon who should not have a system.” replied the system.
Lily was relieved to hear that it was because of her class that she was able to sneak around without being spied on. This meant that she could not screw everyone up like she had done at the beginning, and she now knew how things were connected and was therefore more careful with her actions. She was lucky enough that the deities hadn't killed her on the spot, or it wasn't quite true. Elder Mage Grimwald was about to kill her, but her master's name had saved her. She planned to become his disciple to get more boons but when she found out he served the gods she withdrew it. It was the same as throwing herself at the feet of her enemy which she had no intention of ever doing.
She looked at her quest she got yesterday:
Free Triton from the Void Prison.
“Where’s the Void Prison?” she asked, watching Aaron place food on the table and she started eating right away.
"Unfortunately, there is no location as it is in the void." replied the system.
Lily had not expected a concrete answer as she already knew that the name gave itself. Since it was now a fantasy world anything was possible, and she was a perfect example because she had just stolen Poseidon's trident which should be impossible in reality. She had to find Eco because she knew he had most of the answers to everything but unfortunately there was no way to contact him, and she sighed deeply.
Minutes later, Ace contacted her, and Lily sent him her location, hoping to find it without difficulty. Half an hour later they got ready and went to a hilltop that was at the edge of the small town that had a nice view of the area. The sun was shining, and the sky was blue and there was not a single cloud in the sky.
Suddenly they saw black dots in the sky from far away which got bigger and bigger as they got closer to them. They were black unicorns with large wings flying towards them.
When they landed in front of them Lily checked them out:
Corrupted Unicorn. Battle companion.
Wow, they definitely belonged to their guild since they all had the same unicorn. There were 5 people and her eyes fell on Ace who was standing in front. He was wearing a pair of black trousers, a green long-sleeved shirt, and a pair of black leather gloves. He was wearing a green cloak, a black scarf around his neck and a green headband around his head which was tied at the back. She walked up to him in excitement and suddenly saw on the right a young guy with dark brown hair and a black headband wearing black ninja clothes. She knew that man all too well because they had been together yesterday.

" Argh, m-my lord what are you doing here?" she asked, confused, looking at Ezekiel.
She hurried to him and knelt and bowed humbly to him because she was afraid, he had come to put a bounty on her head because he had found out that Poseidon's trident was fake.
“My almighty lord. I didn't know it was defective. You can punish me with a whip but just don't hit me in those places.” she said, hoping he could accept that apology.
Ezekiel was confused and Ace was even more confused when he saw her reaction.
"What the fuck is going on?" he asked, looking at Ezekiel and back at Lily.
“Is that Lily?” asked a woman who had long blonde hair, blue eyes, pale skin and was wearing white armor and a blue cloak.
Ace facepalmed and became embarrassed and quickly helped Lily up and looked at the others and introduced, "This is Lily."
Ezekiel stared at Lily still confused and asked, "Is your real name Lily?"
Ace blinked a few times and it suddenly dawned on him that the two really knew each other. So, the shameless person Ezekiel had met turned out to actually be Lily, so he had guessed right then.
“It seems you two know each other.” he said still surprised.
Ezekiel explained to him how he had first met Lily in the Holy Temple.
"Okay. Now some of your explanation makes sense.” Ace said.
Lily pouted and said, “We don't know each other. He was rude and added me as a friend without my permission.” and looked offended.
The others started laughing when they heard her and the woman with the blonde hair said, “It's Ezekiel. If there’s something he wants, he forces himself to get it.”
In Lily's ears it sounded bad because it meant that in the future, she could never turn him down. She introduced Aaron and Jun De and Ace introduced his people.
The woman with the light hair was very beautiful and her name was Alicia who was a templar and she found out that Ezekiel was a gladiator who had unlocked a samurai class.
There was a handsome man with medium length chestnut colored hair and light brown skin who was also a templar named Conall. He was wearing a pair of black pants and a long white sleeve shirt and had a blue cloak over him and had white gloves on.
There was a handsome man with short blond hair, blue eyes, pale skin and was dressed in black and had a black cloak on and a black headband called Griffin and was a gladiator.
Lily got on the black unicorn with Ace, and they all flew off towards the area that was supposed to have a portal to King Arthur's world.
" Why did you take Ezekiel with you?” Lily asked curiously.
Ace explained to her that Ezekiel was the real guild master but that he had Ace's face to attract members. You could give guild master leader to everyone who was an assistant guild master so when important guild things had to be arranged Ezekiel always got the lead.
Lily could now understand Ezekiel's thinking because a pretty face always attracted more people, and it also gave good publicity. The real guild master was Ezekiel who had the soul orb that the two shared, but it was only the top 50 in the guild who knew it.
“So, your guild is called Avalon because of Ezekiel. Now it all makes sense.” she said.
She was reminded of Arba who was definitely a knight and now they were going to visit Camelot which had a lot of knights. She was afraid that Arba would get up without resting when she was not present and became worried.
“Can we stop for a moment?” she asked.
They landed at a large green field with beautiful colorful trees on the sides. Contacting Arba in her head, Lily didn't know if he could hear her but bet on it. She didn't know her location, but he surely had a way of tracking her.
They waited and 5 minutes later they saw something black flying towards them at full speed. A moment later a very tall man in black armor and a black cloak landed. He had a large, long sword on his back which had a red ribbon tied on the hilt.
Arba walked over to Lily and knelt, bowing to her.
"My lady. You called." he said.
Lily found it awkward that he always reacted like she was a queen, but she had to get used to his polite personality.
“I was worried about you.” she said looking at the others and introducing Arba to them.
"Whatever you see happening around me you must keep secret." she said to Ace and his friends who nodded at her.
Lily looked around and could see on her map that they should be in the area now, but she couldn't see any portal. She took Excalibur out of the space ring which was not heavy at all as she wondered.
“Wow. It’s beautiful." Alicia exclaimed, walking over to study it more closely.
"Do not touch." Lily said as it belonged to King Arthur and placed it on the ground for the others to study as well.
“Where’s the portal?” she asked, looking around.
"Go to the 6 trees in a row and insert the sword." explained the system.
Lily gave them a few minutes to admire the sword and took it with her and they walked to the 6 trees that stood many meters to their right. As they stood in front of the trees Lily guessed there was some sort of barrier and thrust Excalibur into the trees in front of her. She heard a loud vroom and suddenly the air in front of them rippled and they saw a large white castle in front of them.
They waited because they knew you couldn't just wade in even if Lily had Excalibur.
A moment later a man stepped out who had short brown hair and was dressed in white armor and a blue cloak. He had a shiny helmet in his right hand and looked at them and his eyes fell on the Excalibur in Lily's right hand.
"It was about time." He said, nodding and looking around at them all.
"Are they all going with you, my lady?" he asked.
"Yes, if possible." Lily replied.
"Understood. Come with everyone.” the man said and turned, and they followed him through the barrier.
