Bit strange he doesn't immediately use the skill on the earring. Even if it doesn't work, that would be enough to infer it's alive.

I don't think she's utilizing her vassals properly. She can likely upgrade they're castles and troops and gather resources through them...

I don't have the time to do lots of comments right now, but if you've just started reading you should read the first 20 or so chapters over on royal road since they're all re-edited. I still haven't copied the edited versions over here yet--well except for the first chapter.

Thanks for reading! Happy holidays :)

No, she got forcefully summoned by the Angel and he wanted to steal her soul, but the system killed him instead and she stole his soul. Her real body was left without a soul, and taken over by another Ana (One of the Demon Elders at the outpost)
