But as a stubborn lovestruck fool, he chose to disentangle himself with Eithan by teleporting a meter away.
Ver kept sending stares that wished for Eithan' death though, jealousy and resentment bubbling within, clouding his reasoning.
Agatha ignored the guy she was barely acquainted with and faced Eithan,
"I asked my system. It's a ridiculous theory, but if my guess is correct, the person that died contracted the system right after he or she passed away. The AI had attached itself to the person maybe when he or she still had a breath left, but his hesitation killed him, and when he agreed to get bound, or when he completed the qualifying mission, it was too late. His physical body had already died."
The half-host broke away from his glaring contest with Ver.
He replied,
"How the ghost died and encountered the system is irrelevant. No matter how stupid it sounds, the ghost is already a half-host. For sure, it's looking for a vessel so it can
Misty felt like she had transmigrated into a fast-paced world. Time flew by, and nights and days rotated in a constant and continuous cycle.In such a never-ending and fast-paced cycle, coincidences and chance meetings always happen. Of course, it was the same with rendezvouses made on purpose.It had been six months ever since she met that guy who shared the same face, body, height, and everything physical with that fellow from her original timeline.After the first meeting, several more followed.It had only been a little more than half a year since she became Claudine Sigfreid but each every other day that passed seemed to be filled with memories of that pretty-faced dog, er, Earl.She would be very hypocritical if she were to say that she didn't enjoy those days.She was happy. The sweet and amusing moments with her new family and that person allowed her easily acclimate in this world.Yet she would be deceiving herself too if she
'This version of this pretty-faced dog seemed to be the ideal him that I have in my mind, the one I'm wishing for every time that he annoys me.'She felt her chest tightened under her corset..It was so suffocating to breathe.The precious stone lying above it felt so heavy, yet because of its weight that she realized something very obvious from the very beginning.The walk in the gardens resumed. Sabel was behind them, ensuring no harm would fall upon Misty.One instance, the guy tried to play a prank on Misty's personal maid by throwing a thin dried branch that he got from who knows where. As the older woman jumped around and screamed 'Snake! Snake!', looking away from them a few seconds, the playful ducal heir whispered to her ears,"... I can't wait to see you in a white bridal gown floating down the aisle towards me."That time, she didn't know why she suddenly saw the illusion of 'him' saying the same thing, in a threat
In the world outside the dream...It was already the fourth day since Misty entered a comatose state. Like always, Ver was next to her. The man had to thank his system that it could also purify his exterior, or else, he would have stunk badly by now for not bathing for four days.Since the happenstances this early morning, Ver had turned somehow quiet, mostly silently watching over the sleeping woman. From time to time, his heart would jump out of his chest whenever he felt like he saw her lashes or fingers moving. But unlike earlier where he almost fought it out with the doctor, he only calmly looked at how things would unfold.Of course, never did he stop hoping for the woman to open her eyes.Sometimes he would still talk to Misty, treating her not like a patient, but a naughty girl who kept pretending that she was asleep.Out of a sudden, a voice rang, seemingly coming out of nowhere. The being inside his brain couldn't help but r
The eerie existence appeared funny in Paul's eyes.It had most likely died with some heavy resentment towards the world and was out for revenge. But because of physical limitation, there were many things that it couldn't do.Even if it already managed to take revenge against the people who killed it, there was still no doubt that it held insuppressible desire to live again. Why else would it desperately try to take over someone else's body?'Since it had no qualms killing off a living human's spirit, it was definitely already corrupted and evil.'This was the reason why Paul thought it was a funny existence and spoke without mercy to it.A corner of his lips tugged up.He watched as the shadow moved to the left. Its feet were connected to the shadow of the bed by Misty's feet. It was just that the owner of the shadow appeared like it was from someone standing in front of him.The sight made Paul wondered, 'Is this going to appear in t
Misty's family didn't know of her current condition. No, they didn't even know that she was back to Alina.Likewise, Amanda too was not aware. All she was informed was that the woman had to leave for a very urgent matter regarding her boyfriend. Heck, her phone calls couldn't even go through.This was why even though she discovered that her sister was now very rich and could properly support a hundred of her, she couldn't take joy about it at all.She was very worried.'Sighs, that fierce Amazona really knows how to make people restless and anxious for her...'A couple of days passed since she went back to Alina.She had a tearful reunion with Agatha, but most of it was due to Misty suddenly disappearing.Even now, despite the cryptic message sent to her by the woman, she couldn't put her heart at ease.If there weren't matters distracting her, mostly about university transferal procedures and ID processing, she would have sunk
"Ah, I'm sorry. I would have to leave for a while. It seems my colleague needs help."Amanda came back to her senses due to that voice. She saw that the other on the receptionist desk was signaling for Cora so she nodded. The kind lady left shortly after a bow.A minute passed and because of the call of nature, Amanda had to leave her comfortable seat and go to the restroom. Thankfully, the lady janitress she had asked was nice and kindly taught her where the place was.'What an intimidating ambiance...'The girl had mostly mingled with normal students so she was really in awe of this place where professionals and beautiful people seemed to be everywhere.Was she okay to be here? Her face was above average too. But she was only an 8 pointer; nowhere close everyone here who was mostly around 9 points in appearance.'Damn! I pity my heart. It's not easy to not be conscious of one's face value in a place like this!' She thought, her inner voice
Ivy laughed at the woman who hurriedly walked out of the automatic door. From behind her, two people caught up, with one of them softly tapping on her shoulder.It was someone Amanda also saw on the commercials earlier. They said she was the Queen of Primetime. The term was not people from Country J usually used, but if she understood it correctly, it referred to shows aired between 8 pm to 11 pm.For a brief second, the companion of the woman who tapped on Ivy's shoulder turned to them. She didn't know why, but that brief action made Amanda's heart almost stop.She caught sight of the good-looking cold-faced man from the male cologne ad earlier, the person that left quite a strong impression on her.He wore a coffee-colored suit over a black striped T-shirt, paired with black pants and Browns dress shoes. The guy looked imposing, probably due to his expression and height.Yet what really struck Amanda's nerves was her sense of familiarity with thi
"Thank you very much, Sis. I love you!""You take care. Don't stay up late."Amanda radiated happiness after spending some time with her sister. With bags in her hands, the girl happily waved both hands at Agatha whose face was showing through the open window of the car. The latter laughed as the paper bags in her sister's grasp also slightly shook in the air."What a lively girl."After ensuring that the girl safely entered the house and that Dylan was nearby acting as the bodyguard, she ordered the driver to take her to Starlight.The moment she arrived at the meetup place, she didn't glance at the smiling face of Ivy nor Eithan who looked like a macho middle-aged man.Her eyes only scanned the other woman in the place. Blonde hair, blue eyes. Soft features that could easily lift up the mood whenever she was smiling and evoke endless pity and gloom from the hearts of other viewers if she was in a downcast mood.'It's funny that a sn
