Lea was sure her ears were deceiving her. She would swear Sun had asked her to be Sun's mistress.
[Dwyl: You heard it correctly, Sun wants you to be her mistress. I wonder what she sees in you.]
Lea couldn't blush with her skin made of snow, but she suddenly felt like the room had gotten even hotter. Lea admitted Sun had a flawless body that was visually very pleasing and maybe she had been imagining how it would be to have s*x with Sun, but that was just a nightly fantasy. There was no way she would get together with Sun in this situation! The woman's touch was super unpleasant in reality. Lea could literally die from it! Not to mention the hostile way Sun treated her. No, being Sun's mistress would definitely be a nightmare.
"You're joking, right?"
Sun loved how Winter's facial reaction went to bewildered and then to shy. It was only her last expression that disgruntled her; horrification. Was the thought of being her mistress that repulsive? Sun's heart throbbed at that thought. It made her angry.
"No, I'm not." She hadn't said it seriously at first, but now the idea had taken root. How could someone not want her?
"Your touch burns me and almost makes me faint out of pain. Even if I would like to be the mistress of someone who has locked me up, even if I liked you, I wouldn't survive five minutes of being intimate with you."
'Oh,' Sun thought, 'that would indeed be reason not to want to be my mistress'. But still, Sun didn't like Winter's reaction. Being Sun's mistress could be considered an honor!
"Your death has already been decided, hasn't it? Dying quickly in my embrace is definitely a better way to go than slowly dying alone in this room. I promise I can give you pleasure despite the pain. It would be my present to you for caring about my wellbeing."
Lea was really tempted. The sooner she died, the sooner she could leave this dreadful world, but how could she just agree? They were talking about her first time here! Although she didn't really mind giving it to someone whom she didn't love, she was certain Sun's promise of pleasure was bogus! Even if Sun was skilled, the pain would override everything! Sun could claim differently, but Lea wasn't stupid. Even an accidental caress of Sun's finger made her want to scream in a totally non sexy way.
[Dwyl: Just take the deal. You'll die before she can even touch your intimate parts. Your first time isn't in danger.]
[Don't care. I'd rather die slowly in my sleep with a limited amount of pain, than fast with the feeling of being burned alive.]
"I'm afraid I must refuse. I'll go for the option of dying alone in this room."
"Don't you find me attractive?" Sun said with a frown, the displeasure obvious on her face.
"Very," Lea didn't feel like lying about this and she already went out of character once in this world, so it didn't matter anymore.
Sun hadn't expected such an answer, but that was good. The answer she expected wasn't the one she wanted to hear. So she was relieved and excited with the acknowledgement of being attractive. "Then why don't you want to be my mistress?"
"I'd like to enjoy this world a little longer, even if I'll never see anything besides this room again." Lea said this because Sun had already proven to not accept the real reason; not wanting to suffer pain.
"Fine," Sun said reluctantly. "Stay in this room. I won't bother you ever again."
After she spoke, Sun left the room. She wasn't happy with Lea's decision, but she wouldn't go against it anymore. Nobody would ever really love her. Sun was the most powerful of this realm, but she couldn't do anything about her own loneliness. It would just be best if everything just ceased to exist.
***
Lea spent the remaining time in this world lying in bed unable to move, while reading and watching movies. Her body lost power gradually and after about two months, no energy was left and Winter disappeared forever from the realm of Earths gods and goddesses.
The moment Lea left the world, Writer removed themself also and deleted this world filled with stupid mistakes. They weren't happy that they had created a world with such a huge plot hole. It wasn't that bad, they could still fix it by sending systems to rewrite it. But Writer didn't like rewriting their worlds. That would mean having to socialize with the systems and trusting them to not mess up their worlds! Above all that, Writer would have to choose the right systems for the job and monitor them. It was way too much work, way too troublesome. Writer liked to keep the worlds they created just like they were. If there were flaws – something which usually didn't happen – they'd just erase it.
The only reason Writer asked Doing Whatever You Want system for help, was because the system had clung to them since childhood. Dwyl was a useless system that only did whatever it wanted, and refused to help rewrite the worlds Creators made. Because of this no Author allowed it permission in their worlds. Dwyl had clung itself to Writer, because they were also looked down upon by other Creators for not using systems. Writer usually just ignored Dwyl, but this time they had no other choice but to use a system. Only systems could bring human beings from one world to another. Since Writer had known Dwyl for most of their lives, and the system didn't need specific instructions for rewriting a world, it was only logical to team up with Dwyl. The only fear that Writer had was that Dwyl and Lea would mess up their worlds, but that was a sacrifice Writer was willing to make. It's not like they would go to all the worlds Writer had created.
Writer sighed. They hadn't enjoyed their time in this world. If an Author entered their own world, they would automatically integrate flawlessly. That meant they would become one with the character they were playing, and often it was hard to distinguish themselves. That was the downside of being an Author and the reason they couldn't just rewrite worlds on their own. Once a world was created, the Author couldn't change it themselves anymore, except for deleting it.
So when Writer was in the world, they had felt every single thing Sun had felt. It wasn't a nice experience. Writer just hoped that the next world Dwyl and Lea would go to was more pleasurable.
***
The moment Lea entered the Resting Space she was jumping from excitement. Finally she could move again! Spending months in bed without being able to even lift a finger was an absolutely terrible experience. So when that was finally over, she couldn't help but run, dance and hop all over the place. Lea was free!
Dwyl looked at its foolish host. It wasn't happy with the way Lea ignored it. Even though they had talked when Lea was in her first world, she hadn't seen Dwyl in months. Lea should at least give Dwyl a hug and tell it how much she missed its adorable presence!
[Dwyl: How long are you going to disregard me?]
Lea looked around the room and found the fluffy ball of black with white spots sulking in a corner.
"I'm sorry Dwyl. I'm just overjoyed to be able to move around. You understand, right?" Lea walked towards Dwyl and wanted to touch it, but Dwyl flew away. "Come on, don't be angry. I didn't mean to ignore you."
Dwyl huffed. [I'm not angry.]
"Good, there is no reason to." Lea smiled. "You're even cuter looking than I remember."
[Cute? Nobody wants to be called cute by you.] Even though Dwyl said that the white spots on its fur where glowing brighter.
"Okay, I won't call you cute anymore," Lea teased.
[… I didn't say you can't say it.]
The smile on Lea's face grew. She felt so happy right now! No more being confined inside a way to warm room by a crazy goddess and a system in front of her that looked so huggable. Life was perfect!
"Then I'll make sure to call you cute every day, so you can't forget!"
[No, every day is too much. Maybe once in a week. I have to stay humble. As you've seen in the past world vanity can have disastrous results.]
Lea looked at Dwyl dumbfounded. How was that being humble?!
[Anyway, do you want to go to the next world or stay here for a little while longer?]
Lea was fearful for what may happen in the next world, considering her first wasn't as amazing as she had hoped, but it was not like she could do much in the Resting Space. While lying in bed in Sun's palace, she had already watched tons of movies and read lots of BL-novels. She couldn't sit still any longer!
"I want to go to the next world."
[Alright! I have picked an interesting world.]
Lea had forgotten she couldn't pick the world this time, because of her deal with Dwyl regarding Sun's memories. She hoped Dwyl didn't choose a difficult world, but she highly doubted it. When she had gone OOC Dwyl had after all forced her to stay with Sun! How could she trust this sadistic system?
"Can you tell me something more about this world?"
[I've already told you the plot will be given only after arriving in the world.]
"Okay, but I can still choose the role I'll play, right? We didn't make a deal about that."
Dwyl's excitement dwindled. It had counted on Lea not being smart enough to figure that out. [Unfortunately, yes. You chose what kind of character you'll inhabit.]
"Then I want to be somebody not related to the plot at all! Having a plot, just makes life more difficult and I don't want stupid character settings to follow if that means you get to order me around whenever I break them."
[You do realize that just because you won't be related to the plot, that doesn't mean there won't be character settings?]
"Really? Does your Writer write notes on every person in every possible world even if they will never come in contact with persons appearing in the plot?"
[I can't possibly explain every detail of how the universe of Authors and systems works! That's a waste of my time.]
Lea glared at Dwyl. "Then waste your time. I want to know."
[There are a whole lot of different Authors. There are Authors who write plots that creates worlds, and then there are minor Authors, whose phantasy is a little bit limited and can't create worlds on their own. So they can only write the backgrounds of every living being in the created worlds. My amazing Writer is a top class Author! Not at all like those minor Authors.]
"I think I get it," Lea said going over everything in her head. "So, if I choose to inhabit a person not related to the main plot, I'll be put in a body created by a minor Author?"
[That's correct.]
"Great! I don't want anything to do with your Writer! By the way, that can't be their real name, can it? Isn't it confusing if there are so many Authors? Or is that the title for a topnotch Author? But if so, this Writer can't possibly be the only top Author."
[Writer is awesome! It is your loss if you don't enjoy their characters. And no, Writer isn't their real name, but I have always called them like that and I'm not going to change it. That would be weird.]
"Can I know their real name?"
[No. You're not worthy.]
"Fine. I'm not interested anyway. Who cares about an author who creates crazy people?"
[Prepare for transmigration. 3…]
Lea hadn't expected Dwyl to suddenly count down like that. They were still talking! "Wait! Give me some time to prepare myself mentally."
[2… 1… Transmigration complete.]
