On the flip side, while the sole mid-level female user in the city was on her way to the Silver's mansion, Eithan went out for work after depositing Brennan to the care of Irene's bodyguards.It was after Agatha left.Both Aura and Sarmiento met up with them and while the two Starlight artists went to the filming location for their new drama, the bodyguards and the kids followed, loitering around the place to wait for Eithan to finish his work.The man was quite strange among system users.Given the system and its perks, it should be no problem for him to take over a company or any influential group and lord over it. That way his life would be easier and he would not have to do the menial tasks by himself.This was the path Agatha had taken. With people under her command, all those matters that could be done by humans would not trouble her or make her consume points.In a sense, Eithan was one of her people. If there were things that no norm
Thirty minutes after...Eithan arrived at the destination, thanking the heavens that the one he asked to come was already there, waiting.Two other people were at the place, that man who refused to leave Misty's side, and the bodyguard. The former should be that another system user he heard from Ivy.Since the matter was urgent and it seemed that the woman trusted them somehow, he disregarded the discomfort from being glared at by another male and immediately told her everything that he learned from his AI.When it got to the point where she asked how he knew about the connection, with a complicated expression, he reminded her,"She's the one mentioned in my qualifying mission. So about my non-host supporter, it's actually her..."A furious howl suddenly came from his right."LIAR!!!!""... Huh?"What the half-host never expected to happen in his visit to Agatha's townhouse was to fly across the room after being ambushed
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
