Lyra was speechless, and puzzled at the two panel in front of her. They were in different colors and the stats were different as well. How could there be two panel in front of her? And there was name on top of them as well!

'World system and Faith system. I'm guessing, I been transmigrated in a modern world where monster and world system exist as well' Lyra guessed correctly.

Although it felt weird having two panel in front of her, she decided to just ignore the world system and focus on the Faith system, after all this is her golden finger that is specially made for her by some higher being or something more absurd.

The world system she read in other novel is quite neutral to everyone, while her golden finger is also neutral but she's the only one who could use it so she checked the Faith System and ignore the World system completely.

"Mutated zombie? " Lyra exclaim, upon seeing the race stats.

As if, the Faith System heard her question a panel popped out in front of her.

[Level: 5 (0/160)

Name: Mutated Zombie

Grade: E

Description: Mutated Zombie, these race has a high level of intelligence comparable to a human. But what make these zombie be called mutated is because of their unique genetic and body proportion. Some might have four arms and others might have iron skin, just some of these body changes could give a grade F+ creature a hard time when facing against these Mutated Zombie. Especially when they come in group. ]

Lyra didn't know what to say, but it does explain why she has such beautiful wings behind her back. She isn't worried about being a mutated zombie, atleast she got a second chance in life, and she notice something different about her voice too.

It was too feminine, and charming in its own way, she doesn't know why but she felt attracted to this feminine voice. Even though she knows it was her own voice despite it being feminine.

Then a idea struck her head, and no matter what she does, it wouldn't go away. 'Oh god don't tell me I been transmigrated into a girls body' Lyra thought to herself.

Having read and watch many anime and novel, she notice one thing. The MC couldn't decide their body and appearance, unless a god intervene in their transmigration or reincarnation process, those MC couldn't possibly decide on how they look.

She had a hunch that she was transmigrated into a female body, why? Her voice was feminine, her hair was abnormally long, and her hand were smooth and soft. Something that a male couldn't possibly have unless they are a femboy or something.

"My sweet daughter, I'm so sorry" Lyra mother shouted, behind Lyra.

Lyra snapped out of her thought, and turned around towards the voice behind her. Right when Lyra caught a glimpse of her, Lyra mother had already launched herself towards her daughter, hugging Lyra in a tight embrace.

"Eh?" Lyra exclaimed, puzzled at the sudden hug, she receive.

It was warm, comfortable, and strange. She never felt this before, nor had she experience it in her past life, it made her feel embarrassed and happy at the hug she received.

Lyra couldn't quite put her finger around it, being hugged by a woman she doesn't know, and this strange feeling of familiarity towards her was weird.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry Lyra. I'm such a bad mother.." Lyra mother repeatedly apologies, hugging her tightly as if afraid to let her go.

Lyra felt annoyed at the emotional woman, why couldn't this woman shut up? Stop apologising and let me think straight! Damn it!

Of course she wouldn't say such a cruel and rude statement to the mother of this body, after all she just got transmigrated and she definitely doesn't want to have a relationship problem with the previous owner family.

It explained why she felt such a familiar feeling towards this woman hugging her, it was because she was 'her' mother. If she were to guess from her 'mother' emotional behaviour and the three headed monster she saw earlier, then she only has one answer.

The previous owner died by the three headed monster, and that's when she took control of the soulless corpse and turned into a mutated zombie, essentially becoming a zombie version of Lyra.

..her new name is now Lyra, atleast that's what her 'mother' called her earlier. Upon closer inspection at the system panel in front of her, Her new name in this world is Lyra Richard.

It sounds very feminine.

'System, open the temporary inventory' Lyra decided to put the matter of her possible being a girl in the back of her mind for now, and see the rewards the system had promised.

As for her 'mother' hugging her? Just ignore her and act like your zoning out. I'm sure it's fine, beside Lyra doesn't know how to calm a crying woman down, so Lyra just let her 'mother' vent all the emotion while she check her reward.

[ | Temporary inventory | ]

[Diamond Faith Ticket] [Golden Faith Ticket ×2]

'Faith Ticket huh? So the system I have is a gacha one...' Lyra thought, already having a bad feeling at the gacha function. She doesn't like gambling, since she always loses whenever gacha is involve.

'Sigh...Open all the ticket.' Lyra mentally sighed, accepting her fate at getting the worst item possible. She didn't raise her expectations nor lower her expectations, instead she will just have to accept what the system give her.

Doing a gacha ritual is a waste of time and she doesn't even know if it work since the last time she does it, it give her the worst possible item that a player could get. And doing it in front of her 'mother' and the civilian inside the restaurant? No way.

Whether it's bad or good, it doesn't matter. Atleast she got a second chance in life.

[Opening Diamond Faith Ticket and Two Golden Faith Ticket]

[Proceed? Yes / No]

'Yes' Lyra mentally confirmed, without much expectation.

Immediately, another panel appeared surprising her, it seem the Faith System isn't a show off and just directly give you a random thing without showing those wheel like all the gacha game she played.

"..." Lyra's eyes were wide open as if it would drop from her eye-socket, she blinked multiple time unable to believe her luck. Lyra didn't know what to say, and she definitely wouldn't complain.

Who wouldn't be stun? She got Zafkiel! Even though she can only used Aleph but with enough time she could level the skill and gain the other 11 bullet, so she's isn't worried.

As for the cost of her Vitality? With her Faith System she didn't need to worry about the cost, beside if her Vitality ever goes down, she could just used her attributes point to raise it up again. She had a feeling that most of her attributes would go to Vitality.

She felt extremely excited at the skill she receive, with Zafkiel she could protect herself in this new world she found herself in. If she included the two item she receive, she felt more secure at the power she now possess.

While it didn't directly make her OP, she could still consider herself strong.

'Status' Lyra thought, opening her status panel again.

Lyra only payed attention to the Faith System and didn't even glance at the World System, in her opinion the World System didn't even allow her to allocate her attributes point, so what's the point in paying it any attention?

Looking at her grade going from E+ to D— she felt enthusiastic, it seem that the Faith System also calculate how strong her skill is, as well!

Just before she could celebrate, her ears caught a noise from outside the restaurant.

*ROOAAARRRRR!!*

*ROOAAARRRRR!!*

The thundering sound of multiple roared were heard outside the restaurant. Lyra face visible darken, seemingly remembering a bad memories.

Looking through the giant hole the three headed monster had created previously before leaving, she saw a group of five goblin dashing towards the restaurant she's in.

Lyra expression change instantly, her mood shifting "Get off of me" Lyra coldly spoke, pushing her 'mother' away from her.

Her 'mother' fell on her butt in surprise, but Lyra didn't care, she was in a extremely bad mood, the moment she heard the thundering roar of the monster. It was similar to the thundering lighting that struck the tree in her past life.

While she did promise to stay away from any storm and large tree, but that doesn't means she wouldn't face it head on when she has no choice. And these goblin had reminded her of that promise, causing her excited mood to plummet drastically to a bad one.

After all no one wanted to remember a bad moment of their lives, especially how they died from a tree that a lighting happen to strike.

Now she wanted nothing more then to kill these irritating goblin who ruin her good mood, she was being Impulsive and she knows it, but can you blame her? These goblin were famous for being perverted and cruel in her past life. And she had always hated the goblin everytime they show up in the anime, manga, and novel she watched and read.

She loved how the goblin slayer deal with the goblin without showing mercy, and how the anime show how cruel the goblin could be despite being considered low ranked by the majority.

With all the reason and excuses she could come up with, her guilt and fear vanish in thin air, before being replaced by hatred.

"Zafkiel!" Lyra shouted, raising her left hand above her head.

Immediately, the sound of a bell echoed throughout the area, alerting the approaching goblin outside and startling everyone inside the restaurant. Then a giant clock with Roman numerals manifested behind her, and on both of her hand was an archaic pistol and musket, thay materialise alongside the giant clock.

She pointed her Musket at the first number and her Archaic Pistol at the number XII (12), and she spoke the word "Aleph" then a string of red and black aura went inside her musket. After the red aura is fully inside, she pointed the musket at her head. Surprising everyone at her action.

"Lyra! No!" Lyra mother shouted in despair.

Afterward, Lyra pulled the trigger.

*BANG!*

Lyra form disappeared in a black flash, and the next moment she appeared behind a goblin monster.

"rghrrg!" The goblin said some gibberish, their face looking confuse.

Lyra aimed her Archaic Pistol at the back of the goblins head, and pulled the trigger, not wasting a single word on a disgusting creature.

*Bang!*

Blood and brain matter splattered on the ground, and the whole area was silence except for the sound of the headless goblin falling to the ground.

*Thud*

[You killed a level 1 Goblin: 0.1 Attributes Point, 0.1 EXP]

The goblin didn't even had a chance to scream nor reacted before it's killed without knowing how.

Lyra grinned in satisfaction, she did not feel a hint of disgust nor terror at killing a creature similar to the human autonomy, whether she was sane or not was up for debate. Maybe her time in the void world had caused her sanity to plummet, considering that the darkness cause her some headache.

"Zafkiel! Aleph!" Lyra exclaim with uncontrolled excitement, then the red and black aura went inside her archaic pistol and musket.

After it fully went inside, she aimed her musket at her head and shot herself without hesitation.

*Bang!*

Lyra figure disappeared and reappeared behind a confused and puzzled goblin, this time Lyra didn't need to aim since her archaic pistol were already pointing at the back of its head.

*Bang!*

Another goblin head were blown to pits, and the headless body fell to the ground making a thud sound.

*Thud*

[You killed a level 2 Goblin: 0.2 Attributes Point, 0.2 EXP]

Lyra grinned even more, and a aura of murderous intent surrounded her whole form. Her beautiful white wings and the murderous red eyes, she looks like a demon with a beautiful appearance meant to deceive others, only for them to be killed and torture.

"Agrhrgh! " Goblin 3 shouted, charging at Lyra with its big bat on its right hand.

Lyra plainly stare at the incoming goblin "Zafkiel, Aleph." Lyra muttered, the red and black aura went inside her musket, she aimed at her head and shot herself again.

*Bang!*

Her figure disappeared and reappeared behind the charging goblin, her archaic pistol were aimed at its head, then without wasting time she blasted the goblin heads into a messy brain matter.

*Bang!*

*Thud*

[You killed a level 3 Goblin: 0.3 Attributes Point, 0.3 EXP]

The goblin head were blown to pits, showcasing just how powerful the archaic pistol and musket were, despite the skill at being level 0.

"Hehe~" Lyra giggle, with a crazy grin on her face.

Lyra turned her head at the two remaining goblin. Their body tremble at her murderous aura and they unconsciously dropped their bat.

Lyra grinned even more, "Zafkiel, Aleph." The red and black aura went inside her musket, afterwards she shot herself with it.

*Bang!*

*Bang!* *Bang!*

*Thud* *Thud*

[You killed a level 2 Goblin: 0.2 Attributes Point, 0.2 EXP]

[You killed a level 1 Goblin: 0.1 Attributes Point, 0.1 EXP]

Two headless goblin fell to the ground with a thud, the moments Lyra appeared behind them, she immediately shot their head without missing a heart beat.

She was getting more proficient with Zafkiel after just one battle, even if it was small it's still progress.

Lyra stood before all the five headless goblin, she had a crazy smile on her face and the murderous crimson eyes were more monstrous then the goblin she killed, but the beauty she emitted added a certain charm to it, just like those yandere characters.

While her 'parents' and the civilian were processing what had happened, Lyra was immerse in her feeling. Standing menacingly on the street without a single blood on her, except the blood that was around her neck.

She never felt so powerful, and alive! Although these goblin were low ranked and could easily be killed by ordinary human if they were prepared. But that didn't ruined her mood.

In the past, she never felt fulfilled in what she did, she had achieve almost everything that a ordinary person would have wanted, She had Money, Friend, Influence, Family, and a Job she loved. But all of that didn't matter.

She had gotten bored at doing the repeated routine over and over again. It felt a like cycle, a cage for her making her feel like she was trapped in her own world.

The battle experience she felt was addicting and fresh, she never felt so free and unrestrained. Now that she's transmigrated here, she set a goal for herself in this new and fresh world.

She wanted to be free from everything, live a life of whatever she felt like doing, for that she needed strength and power if she wanted to realise that dream of a carefree life. She still remember that Three headed monster the moment she transmigrated into this world.

Just from its overwhelming presence she was 100% sure, she wouldn't be able to match that grade A being.

Lyra took a deep breath to calm herself down, the battle was short lived, too short that she didn't get to have much fun in it.

'So this is why those battle junkie characters love to fight' Lyra thought, with a change of perspective towards the battle maniac characters.

Her first battle, could be described as a one sided slaughter, the red blood from the goblin didn't splattered on her body and she received no damage during the confrontation.

Despite recently gaining Zafkiel, she did a great job at using it and manage to slightly improve the way she fought. Instead of appearing behind the goblin and adjusting her archaic pistol to aim at the head, she directly appeared with her archaic pistol pointing at the goblin head.

How does the First Bullet Aleph worked exactly? It Accelerate her external Time, meaning that if she wanted to quickly appear behind a goblin, she will just shoot herself with The First Bullet Aleph, and appeared behind the goblin.

She basically skipped the Time needed to go walk behind the goblin, although during the time skip duration, she doesn't have the ability to hit the goblin accurately, she had to appear in the present time to actually shoot the goblin and deal damage.

It's mainly because, she doesn't have enough experience in using the first bullet Aleph or the skill level is too low, her Time Perception or Reaction Speed doesn't slow down, making it harder for her to predict her own movements.

She had to be careful with it or else she get herself dirty in goblin blood, which she doesn't want, so she just let her Instinct and imagination to guide her movement, which is more complicated then said.

But it worked didn't it? She might as well be call a genius in combat with how skilled she is using Zafkiel first bullet Aleph, despite her not fighting much in her past life, she did imagine some scenarios in her head.

And after analysing how she had fought, she found many mistake that been made during the battle. But one mistake stood out among the many mistake.

if her opponents were slightly faster, she definitely wouldn't have enough time to activate Zafkiel and Aleph.

And if both her hand were cut off, she definitely couldn't used the musket and archaic pistol since it needed one of her hand to pull the trigger.

Lastly, she doesn't know how to aim and used a gun, the recoiled from the musket and archaic pistol almost made her drop her musket and archaic pistol.

Due to inexperienced, she just directly aim her musket and archaic pistol at the goblin head without any distance between her musket and archaic pistol.

You can't dodge a bullet if its directly pressing against your head right?

As for the pain that come from the recoil, she doesn't need to worry, her Endurance is Null so she doesn't feel the pain at all.

And as for how she manage to calculate where she want to appear despite her reaction speed not matching her body?

Don't ask such stupid, she's now a mutated zombie, her brain doesn't need to keep the body alive since its already dead, so the brain potential is unlock.

Why? Well the brain doesn't have to waste time processing all the information like telling the heart to beat or making the lungs breath continously.

Now the brain calculate on keeping itself alive and working with the conscious mind to do whatever.

[[ Please choose a Class and Skill urgently ]]

Lyra snapped out of her thought, her eyebrow raised at the Blue colored System.

The World System had materialize in front of everyone, hurrying them to choose their Class and Skill urgently...
