Yurification Systems
Volume 1 - Prologue

A glass bottle from the palace banquet flew towards me.

In the middle of this royal feast, I fell and was wrapped in a red liquid.

The smell of wine smelled in my nose and painful words entered my ears.

“Why should I get engaged to this scary woman?”

Those words pierced my heart. Even though I was five years old, should I suffer like this?

Born with brown skin and a scary appearance. Do I have to live my life in this condition for the rest of my life?

Slowly the pain in my head began to spread. It seemed like the red color that covered my sight was not wine but blood coming out of my head.

Eventually, I will leave this world quietly.

My gaze slowly felt heavy and blackened.

I want to get out of this foul circle. Life relying on looks feels pretty heavy to me.

Enough of this life's arduous journey and soon face my creator.

A finger-patch woke me from this short sleep.

Someone is in front of my face.

“Ah, are you aware? Lily-chan” a woman is in front of me. He slowly stroked my hair and smiled. I don't know why my head is on this woman's lap.

“What is life that heavy?” ask the woman.

That question was enough to annoy me. Ever since I had awareness about the discrimination of the people around me. My body became more sensitive with their gaze that humbled me as well as their look of disgust that made me realize the reality of life.

I hate that so much!

What distinguishes me from other normal girls?

Is it because my strange brown skin makes them disgusted at me?

Or is my hair and eyes as white as dead people so scary to them?

I've given up on all this.

The more I survive to live, the more insults I have to endure.

In fact...

I began to hate men only because of their disgusting and degrading nature.

The hand caresses on my head felt very soft and made me sleepy.

Waitaminute!

Where am I?

If it's not wrong, I'm at the royal palace banquet.

“Ah!” I rose from the lap of the woman who stroked my hair.

“Is it already night?”

“Did my family leave me again?”

Just as I was about to get up on my feet, a warm hand embrace enveloped my body. The hug was soothing and made me want to cry.

Since when have I forgotten the tenderness of this warm embrace?

“Lily, what do you want? Physical strength or large magic capacity?”

“Become a blessed hero or holy girl?”

That question sounds strange to me.

I just want to enjoy life normally as a girl in general. If asked to choose, I want my life to be full of color and happiness.

Whatisthis? a hope that has been filled with my complaints all my life?

And since when does this woman know my name?

Was I thrown out after that embarrassing incident?

Ah, that's right too! It was already a noble tradition to throw away their useless family members. I've heard it, but it's the first time I've felt it.

“Lily, you're not dumped. Why would they throw away a sweet girl like you?”

Um, can he read my mind?

“Of course.”

“A-Anu.. Who are you exactly?”

“I? Only the Goddess who happens to be bored looks at the world of his creation.”

“O-Oooh Dewi.. wait! What?”

Do people now have a strange hobby of playing sick people? My head may be bumped but my memory is still there.

What's he talking about anyway?

Even to deceive one's brain requires evidence strong enough for them to believe.

“Oh, it's very easy for me.”

The woman snapped her finger and the scene in front of me changed.

A view of the cool forest and accompanied by a gust of fresh wind passed me.

“How about this? feels soothing, doesn't it?”

I can't say anything more. Waitaminute! If I meet the Goddess, doesn't that mean I'm dead?

My face suddenly paled.

“Please, you're not dead Lily. You're just having a little dying.”

“Hey! Isn't that a big deal!” I was surprised when I heard it.

“It's okay, even if you're dead. As a Goddess, animating one or two humans is only a small matter.”

“Why things life and death someone is very easy to talk about anyway.”

“Because I am a Goddess who created you guys.”

“Ugh, I can't deny it after seeing this. So, why would a Goddess hold a monster like me here?”

“Sssst.. Lily, you're not a monster. You are the most beautiful girl ever.”

“Uhm...thank you? I think..” hearing this compliment I first heard makes my heart beat.

Waitaminute! Since when did the dying person feel his heartbeat!

“U.. Goddess.. am I going to die now?” this question sounds ridiculous, right? Wouldn't the dead meet their creator?

“How big is your wish to die?”

How large? Right too. I didn't think about it. Since when do I want to die like this?

“Rather than thinking about that silly question, what if Lily enjoys this world even longer?”

“Dewi's intention is to receive the pain of the suffering of life again?” my answer sounds bold but part of me feels like coming back.

“Your body is more honest than your mouth.”

“Urk!” my body..Why did you betray yourself?

“You know Lily, ever since I created this world. Sometimes I feel like there's something lacking in it.”

“Dan.. Now I realize it. The world needs a touch of yuri to thrive!”

“Hah? Y-Yuri?” I don't know what happened but it seems this Goddess is in trouble.

“For that.. Lily... will you help me open that locked garden?”

“T-Garden?” I don't understand at all!

Slowly, those warm soft hands hugged my body again.

“Do you want a colorful life?”

That question was very interesting to me.

“Do you want to occasionally feel the beauty of the world that you have never felt?”

All right, this is very tempting. Even if it is worth the suffering of life, I want to feel it occasionally.

“Good! For that, I gave you the Yurification System blessing. A power that brings you to a new life.”

“May this power give you a reason to survive, Lily.”

The last words sounded vague and at once my eyes felt very heavy.

I couldn't fight it and went back to sleep.

When I came to, I woke up in my room and found my eyes looking strange.
