Chương 74: [2.00] Prologue - Angelica's Lifeplan

Get Stupid Rich Keep negotiating with Summoners to get money. They have a lot and seem to be very open to spending it. Get it from their wallets to your pockets! Sell the Quillaced Tiara. Hopefully Fioso will have an update soon, but it's still best to leave it to him even if it takes a while. You're making decent enough money now that it's not urgent. Best to wait for the right moment. Sign the contract with Lemon Literature so you can make a proper living as an artist.

Yes, it should frankly be considered your side gig at this point, more a hobby, but you'll still be living the dream! Things to do with the money: Invest, invest, invest! Once you have enough, actually put your degree to use to make it into even more money. The goal is self-sustaining profit, so you don't have to worry about finances at all Buy a new computer. Maybe I should do that now before I go on my next art spree. Art marathon as soon as I have auto-color. Artathon? Nah, probably used too many times.

Get workout machine for better muscle training… when you have the room. Purchase or build your own castle! Long term goal. That's gonna be a logistical nightmare, but you can figure it out when there's plenty of money burning a hole in your pocket. Might be in issue with the revenue services why some random girl has a castle. Actually, won't all your freelance money become an issue when it comes time for taxes? Crap. Figure out how taxes work for Summoners.

I know future you doesn't want to, because current you doesn't want to either. Another way to use your dormant powers of math! You can do it! Don't let the government steal your hard-earned gains! Maybe there's someone at your bank that you can talk to. Become Super Strong! Become so feared and respected that no one will mess with you. Keep growing as a Demon, gaining levels and Ranks via Essence from Summoner jobs. Use the accumulated Growth Points to buy the Skills listed below.

Also, train with the Skills you have to increase their levels and improve your Attunements. This goes double for Order Resistance and Rejection. You've been lucky since Lustre, but you never know when you'll get a scuffer like her again. Try to improve your Worth when possible. Keep exercising daily for now if you're not busy with Demon jobs. Don't slack on the Summoner side either. So far it doesn't seem as critical, but you never know!

Mostly, the better you are as a Summoner, the less chance of being Bound by another. Regularly give yourself Orders, the more complicated the better, but also try not to become wholly reliant on it. Sadly, this conflicts with training against Orders, so try to find a good balance. Skills to buy: ASAP: AUTO-COLOR!!! My precious, how you've eluded me. But not for much longer, I swear. Someday soon, you will become mine, and we will make beautiful art together.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it. Identity Fraud, and then Merlina can make her debut. She's basically just a figment of your imagination at this point. Detect Falsehoods. So that you can see past others using Identity Fraud and any other trickery! Maybe it would also work well in figuring out what secrets someone is hiding. It has high requirements, though, so might be a bit. When it's Reasonable: Instant Digestion.

Just to make healing via poison food in big batches a more reliable process. Muse. Pretty much just in case you spot a Rune and don't have the means to copy it at that moment. Rune Absorber. Really like it in concept, but it's just not useful enough currently. But if you find a good source of Runes, bump it up to ASAP, along with Muse. Force-Feed. Definitely a lower priority, but it has good potential.

Killing the big eel Malignant would have been much easier if I could have just dumped poisoned dirt into its stomach instead of yours. Plus, you could make people fat by making them eat high calorie desserts. That'd be hilarious. Hold Fast. It just sounds kind of neat. Maybe you could take naps up in the air? Wouldn't that be fun? Since you have Flutter and Punching Bag, you don't have to worry too much about fall damage or crashing into things, so this definitely isn't a must.

But it could be very good for just staying up in the air and unleashing Biting Hailstorm without needing a bird to fly you around. Low Priority, maybe someday: Poison Breath. Definitely good for poisoning an area without needing heavy accuracy. If you do get it, then consider Poison Kiss too for the boost. Implant Thought. Yeah, probably never. If anything, just to see if it unlocks a Skill that can resist it. Maybe use it to have people leave you alone or give you free food or sway Ms.

Gate's mind about selling your apartment if it's not too late. Try to get for free: Swipe. You've got the other two. Might as well complete the set. Low priority Flash-Freeze. If you come across a big body of water you need to cross in a hurry where bouncing won't suffice, sure, go for it girl. Maybe try to unlock it on some puddles first. Deal with Family Stuff Figure out what the heck is going on with mom. Meet with her like she suggested. See if maybe there's some sort of connection that can be rekindled.

Enjoy Peaceful Life Keep improving with art. Do not let Merlina's Boutique go on hiatus! Seriously, no more disappointing the few fans you have. Try to keep up with commissions too until the work becomes unsustainable with your many future successes. Always be trying to improve with your art. Even if you have Demon Magic, it doesn't mean you can slack on the fundamentals. Snuggle Cherub at every given opportunity. Make sure he is always fed! Immediate To-Do's Cope with the fact that you are actually in Hell.

Holy hell, Hell is real, and you're there?! What the fritsing scuff?! And it's so freaking hot here, ahhhhh! Hell! (Going well so far) Get Registered and Evolve. Mostly to heal up nicely, but it's a big step! What will you become? It better still be cute! Escape hell. Hopefully either Return works or you can use the Summoning Circle you came through to get back home somehow. It's that or start looking for condos by some nice lava lake. Snuggle Cherub. You deserve it. He has no choice in the matter.

Go get your payment from Zenmoon. Don't let this detour distract you from what you're owed. The Contract probably won't let you forget either. Arrange a meeting with your mother. Mmm, yep… still scary.
