Lucifer had recovered from the shock of losing his money, and was now calmly brushing his teeth while admiring his handsome face in the mirror.
Lucifer wasn't exaggerating at all, the truth was that Lucifer was quite handsome, but he was a bit skinny, no, very skinny to be more exact.
But if he had a little more flesh and more muscles, Lucifer could guarantee that his handsomeness could even be compared to world-famous actors and models.
Lucifer brushed his teeth while stroking his face. Perhaps during this time when his living conditions had become this good, Lucifer would try to make himself a little more handsome by gaining some muscles.
'Why do I feel like I'm a narcissist? I'm really handsome, aren't I?'
While enjoying his own beauty, Lucifer suddenly spoke out without realizing it:
"I am so handsome…"
Just waiting for the opportunity, Nothing immediately emerged from his shadow. He was making a mocking face, preparing to tease Lucifer right away.
By the time Lucifer realized what he had just done, it was already too late. Nothing had already opened his mouth and said:
"Do you really think you're handsome? In my eyes, you look more like a monkey that hasn't bathed in over a year. If looks could kill, you'd be a weapon of mass destruction."
Lucifer glared at Nothing without saying anything, trying to suppress his anger. He regretted that the system had given him such a stupid and idiotic Ability. He should have not praised the system like what he did in the first Trial.
It would be better if the system gave him an Ability like jumping higher or creating a tennis ball from his hand. Those Abilities would be even more useful than this bullshit Ability.
Lucifer didn't even have the mood to curse back at Nothing. It was too much of a waste of his time and saliva. He should spend that time doing something more useful than this.
Lucifer continued brushing his teeth, swearing that he would never enjoy his beauty while doing something like this again.
Suddenly, Lucifer realized that he was always surrounded by weirdos. Back in the slums, he was surrounded by a lot of thugs, thieves and murderers.
And now? Even after awakening the system and receiving Destiny, his fate had not changed at all.
Around Lucifer was a man with a masculine interface but a very feminine operating system. A girl who acted gentle in front of Owen but when she was alone with Lucifer, she treated him like some dirty dog.
And did Lucifer need to mention Nothing? Of course not, right?

Owen had given Lucifer a very tight schedule, extremely busy. Lucifer barely had time to rest and had to always focus on training.
The first thing Owen had given him was to learn more about the system and the Trial. This was also the thing Lucifer hated the most.
Lucifer could never concentrate on studying, and he couldn't read much either. Lucifer could only understand the words he used in daily life.
As for the more difficult and rarely used words, Lucifer was clueless, not knowing what they meant. And Lucifer couldn't remember the definitions of those words no matter how hard he tried.
"Receiving an Ancient Name in the first Trial is extremely rare. Most people will only receive an Ancient Name in the third Trial or later. But the sooner you receive an Ancient Name, the more useful the Ancient Name you receive will be." Owen said.
That meant that Lucifer's Ancient Name could be considered extremely useful since he had obtained it in the first Trial. For the first time, Lucifer felt that he was special.
"Moreover, no one knows how to obtain an Ancient Name. Some people think that there must be some kind of achievement, and some people think that the Ancient Name will appear on its own at some point. By the way, Reina also obtained an Ancient Name in the first Trial. Reina's Ancient Name is called Drifting Aurora."
Lucifer's mood immediately dropped. It turned out that he wasn't that special. Furthermore, the fact that he and Reina obtained an Ancient Name in the first Trial made Lucifer feel even more uncomfortable.
'I can't believe that Reina is the same as me.'
The person Lucifer hated also obtained the same achievement as Lucifer, so of course he would feel uncomfortable.
After introducing a bunch of information about the system that Lucifer was pretty sure he would never bother to remember, Owen finally moved on to the next topic - survival.
This was also the topic that Lucifer wanted to learn the most.
"Listen, no matter how strong you are, if you don't have the ability to survive in an unknown place, you will definitely die. You might die from food poisoning, hunger, drinking dirty water, not knowing how to make a fire, … No matter what the situation is, survival skills will always come into play."
Owen taught Lucifer and Luna a lot of skills they needed to survive. Such as how to find water sources, filter water, make fires, find food, etc.
Although the amount of information was too much, fortunately Owen would still repeat these things over the next few days so that Lucifer could fully remember the necessary things.

After learning some essential survival skills in an unknown place, it was time for Lucifer to train his body.
Lucifer had a fatal weakness that everyone could clearly see, which was that his body was too skinny and weak. He needed to eat more and exercise more to have an acceptable body if not a strong body.
Lucifer only had 1 month left to do these things, so he had to make his body the best it could be.
During the forging time used to train his body, Lucifer had to eat all the food that Owen cooked for him. The amount of food was so much that Lucifer's stomach felt like it was about to explode.
But it didn't stop there, he had to eat and exercise at the same time. He thought this would be a peaceful time, but who would have thought that Lucifer would have to go through hell like this.
'So exhausted...'
After finishing the exercise, Lucifer had a hard time breathing normally.
He lay flat on the floor, his body drenched in sweat as if he had just finished taking a shower. Meanwhile, Drifting Aurora was calmly watching TV even though her workout was several times more than his.
Although he hated Reina, Lucifer couldn't help but admire the girl.
"What are you looking at me again, you pervert? Are you attracted to my beauty? But you'll never have the chance." Drifting Aurora suddenly spoke up when she realized that Lucifer was staring at her.
The admiration he had for Reina immediately disappeared. Now he just felt that Drifting Aurora's personality was super annoying.
