Veronica decided to check her Jobs once more…
?
[Jobs Available]
[Thunderous Armored Tyrant Empress], [Invoker of Accursed Graveyards], [Living Demonic Mechanical Undead], [Abyssal Soul Shadow Ruler], [Accursed Phantasmagoric Flying Train], [Abhorred Manipulator and Devourer of Emotions], [Pseudo Light Attribute Mage], [Gluttonous Material Devourer], [Abyssal Metallic Demon Fighter], [Dungeon Creator], [Essence Absorber], [Nyx], [Abyssal Night World Goddess], [Chaos Attribute Mage], [Otherworldly Mechanical Organism], [Unliving Mechanical Factory], [Death Goddess], [Abyssal Curse Caster of Occultism], [Divine Light Soul Valkyrie]
She glanced at the next Job, and found that Thunderous Armored Tyrant Empress seemed interesting…
It was a Job that used her Electrify ability and perhaps enhanced her ability to use electricity produced through this Skill and her phantom/metallic body.
Veronica, as a Living Armor, had incredibly unique physiology, her phantom body was ethereal and was capable of many things, but it lacked solid and hard states, which her metallic body could compensate for. In a way, her metallic body was her shell.
However, she was still able to produce electricity through the Electrify Skill with both her Phantom and her Metallic Body.
Through these months she had been thinking on ways to make her entire metallic body more… complex.
She did not want it to be simply metallic she could bend around, but something similar to an intricate creation made of metallic pieces all joining together while being fueled by her electricity and phantom.
In a way, she just wanted to be a mech.
She knew she could achieve higher levels of strength by becoming a mech, in a way.
By enhancing her capabilities and making herself incredibly complex inside of her metallic body, she could be capable of breaking apart mountains and destroying entire worlds.
Or so, she imagined, basing herself in the cartoons she saw.
However, to achieve such a wondrous and crazy dream, Veronica needed to keep changing Jobs and seeking knowledge and insights through them and Skills.
She already had things such as Engineering and stuff, so she needed to just keep improving such abilities and slowly cultivate her knowledge and the usage of them.
Although Veronica had already found ways to slowly create something somewhat intricate within her metallic body, she felt like she needed to keep advancing and create something greater.
If she were to one day fight against Bestellen and the other Bright Gods whose strength was very large, she would need to be just as large and strong.
She also wanted to protect everyone, Ervas included.
And deep down, she thought that if there were to be some cataclysmic incident, she wanted to rescue the people of the world, and what better way than by becoming an enormous spaceship?
…Well, that might be too much of a stretch, but it was good that Veronica had such imagination, dreams, and goals.
To everyone else around her, she was like a glowing sun, she always brought happiness with her mere presence, her goofiness, happy-go-lucky personality, and her caring and gentle side were always loved by those around her, and even people she would just meet would quickly realize this part of her, as long as they were not complete assholes with her.
"Welp, let's take this one too," she thought.
Ding!

"Although I did not get any new Skill, many-leveled up and three awakened, not bad- Ah! My Memory Retention actually awakened!" thought Veronica.
"But what is… Knowledge Library?" wondered Veronica, as she activated the Skill.
Suddenly, Veronica felt as if her mind were about to explode!
Flash.
All of her surroundings changed, as Veronica was not over Wellerman with her friends and family anymore.
She was… in another place.
She found herself within an enormous… and never-ending library.
A beautiful library with wooden furniture, floor, ceiling, walls, and windows that led to starlight darkness.
"Eh?"
She began to walk around, glancing at the multitude of books within the shelves, hundreds after hundreds of books…
"What is this place? Is this truly the library of… my mind?"
Veronica kept walking around, discovering more.
It seemed to never end.
It had several floors upstairs.
Veronica felt as if she were a little girl walking through an enormous tower made of entire bookshelves, a library of all the knowledge she had ever gathered and would gather one day…
Veronica suddenly found a book that interested her within a bookshelf.
"Anastacia's Diary…"
These were the memories of the day by day since she reincarnated as Anastacia in her previous life.
She began to browse through it, finding memories and memories of her previous life…
It was quite… the hard life.
However, she remembered through it all the characters she meets, the people that were with her through all of that, the ones she tried to protect… And all… the people that died.
Everyone died…
Veronica felt her hands tremble as she recalled the memories of such people, of her close servants, of the little and cute maids, of the young children that lived near her castle…
She recalled their corpses cut into pieces, burned alive, their agonizing cries, and their valiant roars as they gave their lives for her… everything for her to just die…
Veronica abruptly stopped reading the book, leaving it on the shelf, as she contained her tears.
Memories, regrets, and more…
"Ugh, I really didn't expect to get all emotional out of completely nowhere… Thanks, System…" sighed Veronica.
However, her crimson eyes simply gleamed with even more fierceness, with a fiery resolve.
She wanted to go back there.
To retrieve the souls of her people… of all those that walked the same path as her.
Now that she awakened Death Magic… and Ervas had Life Magic, there was a chance for all of them to come back… There was a chance…
There was a chance now.
She needed to find a way to go back.
Perhaps Vedon and Lamus of this world could find a way…
She had already begun to move to the Demon Continent.
She needed to simply wait, and gather strength while doing everything she could to help the people of the present…
"Alright, enough of this, time to keep changing Jobs… I have to get as much power as I can…" sighed Veronica.
Flash.
Suddenly, Veronica was brought back to reality as she saw the description of her Skill.
[Knowledge Library: 1/10]
The awakened version of [Memory Retention].
Your power over your memories and your control over them is unparalleled, which makes your mind an enormous, never-ending library of all the knowledge you have ever gathered.
You can freely visit this space and browse through this knowledge as if reading Books.
…
"So that's what it is… Ugh. Let us use Electrify until this stupid Job maxes out,"
Veronica glanced at her own hands as she began to charge them with electricity.
Through her new Job Change, she somehow gained some new insight about manipulating Electricity and was able to do it with even greater mastery, generating a giant explosion of thunder up into the sky, resembling a literal zap cannon.
BOOM!
Except for the clouds, there were no casualties.
"Damn… Are you the goddess of thunder now?" asked Anna.
"Eh? I didn't know I was capable of doing that… In fact, I was not… This Job gave me the ability… But that one blast cost like 70 Million Mana though," said Veronica.
Ding!
[The Level of your Job has increased from Level 1 to Level 17]
Ding!
[The Level of your Job has increased from Level 17 to Level 25]
Ding!
[The Level of your Job has increased from Level 25 to Level 38]
Ding!
[The Level of your Job has increased from Level 38 to Level 49]
…
The level of the Job immediately began to raise, it seemed that Veronica had gained the proficiency needed for it long ago, and it had just maxed out with that amazing showcase of electricity manipulation.
Veronica began to think how broken her System was to max out a Job just like this, but she quickly realizes the enormous progression wall she had hit, and began to wonder if she was about to hit another soon after… Perhaps the System was somewhat balanced in that regard.
Ding!
[The Level of your Job has increased from Level 95 to Level 100]
"And done…! What should I pick next? I guess I will go in order… Maybe?" thought Veronica, as she wondered if Invoker of Accursed Graveyards could be a good Job…
