Episode 117
“””…………”””
In the middle of the night, a deep silence began to prevail in the forest.
[Search for solutions completed!]
“hmm?”
In that silence, Kania, who saw the system window floating in the air, began to quietly tilt her head.
[Return the soul to its original state.]
“……?”
[Please return the soul to its original state as soon as possible.]
This is because the entity that his master called ‘the system’ suddenly started giving orders.
“Are you talking to me now?”
[To interact, please enable the help function.]
Kania, who was asking with an expression of uncertainty, read the text that appeared in front of her and muttered in a low voice.
“…Help.”
One day, he remembered his master muttering something while writing ‘system’.
[The help function has been activated!]
Then, a new window opened with a cheerful sound effect, and Kania began to quietly stare at the contents that appeared before her eyes.
– You are breaking the rules of the current world. Such actions upset the balance, so please take corrective action as soon as possible.
“Restitution measures?”
As Kania asked with a questioning expression, a new phrase appeared below the system phrase floating in the air.
– Return Fray Raon Starlight’s soul to its original body.
Kania, who was tapping her knee with her finger as she looked at the phrase written in a tone that seemed to be giving orders to those under her, soon burst into laughter and responded.
“…What if you don’t like it?”
In response to that question, the system did not display any message.
“Why should I follow your words? You, the culprit who put him through so much trouble?”
And Kania, who was watching the situation, soon began muttering in a cold voice.
– Rejecting an offer does not help either party. I warn you, please return your soul to its original state immediately.
However, the system that responded again only gave orders to Kania in a more aggressive tone.
“no.”
Then, Kania, who became anxious, quietly caressed the magic circle engraved on her stomach, and Klana and Irina, who were looking at her with anxious expressions, began to carefully ask questions.
“Cania? What happened now?”
“Mr. Kania, are you sure… are you talking to the ‘system’ right now?”
“Wait a minute, Klarna. How do you know ‘the system’?”
“Yes, yes? Well, that is…”
Kania, who was lost in thought while ignoring their words, soon smiled and began to speak.
“Seeing as you keep urging me, I guess there is a very important reason why your soul must return to its original body right now?”
The system did not respond even after hearing those words.
“Or is it that my soul and yours have merged and something so-called ‘error’ has occurred… making it difficult to influence you anymore?”
Even though Kania asked the question again, the system still did not respond.
As if I had hit the nail on the head.
“…Or is it both?”
After Kania whispered softly, as if mocking the system, the system once again opened a window in front of her.
– If you do not return the soul within 10 seconds, Fray Raon Starlight’s ‘penalty’ will be imposed on you instead.
“That’s what I wanted. That was my original plan.”
Eventually, a red window appeared in front of her and started counting. Cania just smiled and continued to rub her stomach.
– 6, 5, 4…
“Anyway, I was just a parasite that sucked the life out of you, Master.”
-3, 2, 1…
“So, I will gratefully accept the penalty.”
At the end of the count, Kania said that and closed her eyes with a smile.
“………hmm?”
Even after a long time passed, the penalty did not come.
“As expected, I guess you can’t influence it because of the so-called ‘error’.”
Then, with a repentant smile, Kania declared to the system in front of her in a triumphant voice.
“So, who’s in charge now?”
It was a feat created by Kania, who had long ago decided that Frey’s system was not trustworthy.
“Well, what is that?”
“oh my god.”
“Mr. Klana? Mr. Irina? Why are you suddenly like that… huh?”
However, her triumphant smile did not last long.
– Gooooo…
“Tae, Taeyang?”
This is because the sun suddenly began to rise in the dark night sky.
“What is that…”
Even though there was still a long time left before sunrise, the sun broke the rules and rose in the sky, and began to shake, emitting a dimmer light than usual everywhere.
“…According to what I remember, the sun went out.”
“yes?”
“When Frey died, the sun went out.”

Klana, who was looking at that scene, suddenly started muttering with a pale, tired face.
My hands were trembling.
“The sun right now… I’m not saying it’s going out, but it’s giving off an ominous energy. That doesn’t mean…”
“What does that mean?”
“Because of the changes that occurred to Frey, something happened to the sun.”
As soon as those words were finished, a system window appeared in front of Kania.
– I hope that Frey’s soul can be restored as soon as possible. Otherwise, the world will come to an end.
Unlike the previous phrase, which was aggressive and commanding, the phrase that came to mind this time seemed somewhat rushed.
Kania, who had doubts about such changes, soon quietly asked a question.
“Why do they say the end is coming?”
– To put it simply, Frey’s soul escaped, but he was still alive, so problems arose. It’s too late to explain in detail.
After reading the contents, Kania sighed and said.
“Okay, then… let’s make a deal.”
After those words were finished, there was silence for a moment.
“I don’t know what that phenomenon is, but seeing that you’re in such a hurry… you won’t be safe when that phenomenon ends.”
– This system is just a helper to help Frey…
Before the system’s text could even finish, Kania spoke in a cold voice.
“It’s a lie. If it was really to help him, I wouldn’t have noticed when the ‘error’ occurred.”
After she finished speaking, she crossed her arms with a stern expression on her face, and the system started popping up a message without a moment, probably in a hurry.
– If we go that way, the sun will shatter. If that happens, the world will end.
“So you’re saying let’s make a deal. I’m sure you don’t want to die either.”
– The system you are looking at is just data that represents text…
“Don’t lie. Then, why do I feel a very familiar energy from the system window that was floating in the air earlier?”
It was as he said.
The system window had been emitting an energy that was all too familiar to Cania ever since the sun appeared.
A very concentrated, ‘dark magic’.
– Gooooooo!!
“I’ve already guessed your identity to some extent for a long time. So, stop playing around and agree to a deal.”
Kania, who felt such dark magic, looked at the increasingly shaking sun and began to speak calmly.
“Ending everything like this is not what you want, is it?”
Then, a phrase appeared in front of her.
[An unexpected quest occurs!]
[Quest Content: Restore Frey’s soul to its original state.]
– Compensation: Limited to ‘this penalty’, the reduction in Frey’s life is nullified (there is no way to withdraw the ‘life reduction’ that has already been given as a penalty, even in this system.)
– Cost: Instead of reducing Frey’s lifespan, the following curse is given to ‘Kania’, the current system holder.
“…What do you mean by price?”
Kania, who was reading the phrase, frowned when she read the ‘price’ part.
– This system is obligated to impose a penalty equal to half of Frey’s remaining lifespan. Therefore, if you want to make a transaction, you must receive compensation corresponding to it.
“So, what kind of curse are you giving me?”
[Curse of single-mindedness]
– You, the target of this curse, literally become one with Frey.
Then, the curse information kindly appeared before her eyes.
– If Frey feels pain, you will feel pain, and if Frey feels sadness, you will feel sadness. A curse truly fitting for you, his faithful confidant.
“Ha, that’s right.”
Kania, who was reading the explanation, immediately snorted and said.
“I guess you’re in quite a hurry.”
After saying that, she stood up and started walking slowly.
“Cania…?”
“What the hell is this…”
Passing by Klana and Irina, who were observing the shaking of the sun in the sky with anxious expressions while listening to the conversation they were muttering.
One step toward Frey, who was unconscious leaning against a tree in the distance. And one more step.
“young master.”
Kania, who was walking slowly, stopped in front of Frey.
“From now on, I will be with you.”
He whispered in a low voice.
– Shaaaa…
He began to quietly infuse dark magic into his stomach and awaken his soul.
“So now you can go back in peace.”
While saying that, Kania activated the magic circle and quietly began to reach out to Frey.
“Then, only one last thing remains.”
Then, Kania soon stopped extending her hand.
-Shoooooo…
“…Show me proof that I can trust you.”
And she said, glaring at the status window, which was giving off an even friendlier aura than before.
“I can’t trust you with quests that the system is involved in. After all, you can intervene as much as you want, right?”
– This system does not have the authority to interfere with the quest…
“No matter how much you say, it’s not trustworthy because it’s just a facade.”
Even though the sun in the sky had started to distort so much that it was ominous to look at.
“So prove that what you have said so far is true and that you will not penalize the master.”
Kania, who placed her hand on Frey’s heart, said that with a wry smile.
“Like you said, there are only a few seconds left before the sun shatters, so make it quick.”
To be sure of what she had guessed all along.
We are prepared to return Frey’s soul to his body at any time before the sun truly shatters.
We made our final challenge to the system.
And as a result, a black system window that had never appeared before appeared before her eyes.
“W-what is it? What is this energy?”
“It’s not Mr. Kania’s dark magic…?”
The system window was emitting dark magic so strong that even Klana and Irina could sense its energy.
“After all, you were the one my damn parents served.”
Kania looked at the system window with a smile of remorse.
– I dig it!
“Hwaaaaa!!”
Soon, he began to slowly separate Frey’s soul, which had been combined with him, and breathe it back into his original body.
“Ugh…”
As a result, the terrible pain that befell the body and the chills of the curse imposed by the system seeping into the bones.
And Kania felt Frey’s soul and the power of the system slowly draining away from her.
“Did you call it mind reading? I heard it a few times a long time ago and remembered it…”
I did something that I was always curious about and that I could only do now.
“under.”
And, she looked at the information window, probably for the last time in her life.
“…me too.”
He answered in a low voice and slowly closed his eyes.
[Fray Raon Starlight’s current emotions: worry, favor, love]
It was a moment when one side and both sides became involved.
