Chapter 5: The Neutral zone

From now on it is a hotel not a inn, but the rest are still the same 

Upon waking from her nap, Lily found herself in a vast white space. Her calls echoed back at her until a system initialization process commenced, culminating in the appearance of an adorable winged Pomeranian—the Safe Haven System. The system cheerfully introduced itself, expressing its role in helping Lily adapt to her new environment.

Overwhelmed by the cuteness of the creature, Lily couldn't resist petting it. The system, delighted by the interaction, offered its assistance before their journey to the next destination. Curious, Lily questioned their whereabouts, prompting the system to explain that they were in a neutral space, a sort of bus stop before their venture into a world called Zenith—a realm rich in magic and magical creatures.

As Lily absorbed this information, she inquired about the spiritual bond and the reason for their connection. The system revealed its origin, explaining that Lily had tragically died while it was fixing a spatial rift in her world. In an act of remorse, the system requested a second chance for both of them, resulting in their spiritual bond. Lily's shock deepened as she grappled with the revelation of her demise.

Concerned about becoming a ghost, Lily sought clarification. The system reassured her that she would be given a new body and a place to live in the new world. However, there was a catch—she would be entrusted with a hotel to manage, live in, and eventually own as she completed quests, earning her new items along the way.

The prospect of a magical world and a hotel to call her own began to unfold before Lily, blending both excitement and uncertainty as she prepared to embark on a new chapter in this fantastical journey orchestrated by the enigmatic Safe Haven System.
