Chapter 5: The system, the stats, and… oh yeah, the A.I.
After bravely ignoring the promise of prolonged paid torture, I was able to see the boot screen.

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------As she expected, she was a complete Cinderella, but before the bibitibabidibu.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I shuddered to read the penalty from the last mission.
It was one thing to be at 0 and quite another to be in the red.
Especially when the being in question is known to be the darkest and most evil soul of the infinite forest.
I decided to start, from what I remembered this would take her time, by God the girl even had books on the shelf in the bathroom to entertain herself between masks and a yoga mat instead of the one in the bathroom.
She may have been superficial, but she was no fool, she knew how to be efficient.
What if she was, she is quite a witch, not that I was a vegetarian or anything like that, but the amount of products and parts of different animals that carried these treatments would make the bravest tremble.
To begin with, she had to rub fish eggs on her skin, which smelled like dirty feet, but prevented stains.
She then smeared pumpkin extract on her skin, rinsed with goat's milk, and drenched her face in a mask of melon and turtle egg white.
Better not think too much about what I had to do to complete that mission, suffice it to say that the procedure included goose feathers, canned potatoes, horse hooves, chestnut cream and a jar of cow's blood.
After finishing the yoga routine I still had a few more masks left, so I started the reading mission, took one of the stories and entertained myself until the masks were finished, and I took a shower.
I checked my status while looking for what to wear.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- She dressed distractedly between the skills panel and the "redecorated" window that she would have to unlock, she wondered if that would be enough to accomplish her mission "FLY TO CLASSES" and level up.
She snapped back to reality when she realized that she almost dressed in the dress inside out, and realized what she was wearing.
She was holding in her hands the most cakey, fluffy, bright and PINK dress.
She left the garment in its original place and broke out in a cold sweat seeing the rest of the wardrobe, once again everything was pink.
Pink, Pink! AND MORE PINK!
From the darkest, to the lightest; from the most opaque, to the most strident, the whole scale of values of pink was in that closet, and all extravagant, there was not one sin (in this temple to extravagance) of being able to be described as humble, demure or (god do not allow it) simple.
They were already beautiful, yes, but they were pink.
No, never, nor paid, never.
Not that she didn't wear pink, but in that quantity and form.
Just like that, she imagined hell.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath to keep from fainting.
She searched among the memories of her new body and found what she was looking for, calmer she went to the trunk in front of her bed and opened it after taking out rolls of different fabrics she found the clothes that her father gave her, they were very beautiful dresses of different colors They were adorned with embroidered flowers and lace, but in a less extravagant way and seemed much more comfortable.
The best way to differentiate them would be to say that the ones in her closet were the dresses that a princess would wear to parties and the ones in the trunk were the clothes for everyday wear, what she would wear for walking or relaxing.
The best part is that none were pink.
She was dressed in a light blue one with a white hem that reached her knees and a black leather corset, it was simple, but it had beautiful embroidery, in the front the blue fabric was divided into a "V" and showed what looked like a white blouse.
She tied her hair up in a high ponytail with a ribbon the same color as her dress; and I complete the outfit with black leather boots with a delicate design, with some heels and laces.
The style was a little "Alice", perfect for the first day on a dimensional journey.
Especially if the first stop was a world of fairy tales.
I went over to the window and started pulling the boards.
They hit the first one.
It seems that the only ones that were really washed were the first 2, I had always wondered how the Sophie of this world managed to clear the window, now I know that surely more than half of it would have fallen by itself by the time I arrived, and she only had to remove two nails.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Looks like I unlocked the storage, took all the dresses that weren't pink and thought I'd put them away suddenly they disappeared from my bed, how handy, but I saw the number didn't change on the screen, I wish this had instructions...
I hit my forehead with my palm as I remembered that I hadn't checked the most important function of the system.
- System? - I called.
- It's about time, I thought you'd never remember me- a rain of complaints began- you know how many reincarnated people only give them the system and they have to find out by themselves how everything works, wasting time and opportunities; as for you to waste time voluntarily, having someone to clarify your doubts just by asking.
A voice sounded that reminded me a lot of Chaos's, only this one was getting more and more indignant.
-I'm sorry - she apologized sincerely.
-As long as it doesn't happen again – he finished.
He cleared her throat and began to use a more professional tone.
-I'm your personal A.I., I'm here to help you as much as possible either with calculations or explanations, I don't have a name so you can call me A.I. or you can give me one.
-Do you think Alex- she suggested (the one who understood, understood).
-Then I'm Alex - he agreed.
