Chapter 12 - [Chapter 3: Knowledge is Power - King's Truth! (Part 1)]

In a certain abandoned place several staccato noises were heard — "Huffing!" Those sounds were low, but strangely repetitive. Like whispers from beyond, they gave the place a gloomy atmosphere.

But it is obvious, any agnostic person would easily think that they were noises caused by the wind.

Perhaps others will say that they were ghosts or anything that has died and cannot leave this misappropriated world; After all, something like that isn't too rare these days and well, they're not wrong...

Those were the sounds of two people gasping for breath while looking bewildered. It was obvious to know what they were thinking just by looking at their faces, but neither of the two people spoke, they just looked into each other's eyes for a while.

On the one hand, Ryan felt dizzy with everything that happened; he was so unreal that he even pinched his arm to see if it was a dream and obviously it wasn't.

It was just a horrible experience. Not only was he suddenly transported into the arms of a woman, he also received a blow that could easily be called horrendous. Be it his bones, organs or cells, he clearly felt as if his entire body was shattered into thousands of pieces.

Ryan could only think that his experience was indescribable. A pain that reached such a degree that it even made him want to return to his little white valley and spend his days in peace. No worries or pain of any kind; alone and happy.

But it's obvious. Fiulo would not let him die so easily nor would he let him return to that valley without complying with his request.

That's when Ryan remembered those scenes.

After hearing that characteristic chime of the system and followed by an almost unexpected message, everything that seemed finished was reborn.

It was undoubtedly an unimaginable experience for those who lived it. The bursting of their bodies, followed by that almost holy golden glow and rebuilding of their bodies was such that it could easily be attributed to a miracle. Of course all that happened in a matter of seconds and for them it wasn't painful to come back to "life", but for Ryan that second was eternal and without a doubt he let out a roar of curses as soon as he could speak. But these screams were nothing more than a rupture of the bubble of "denial" that enveloped those present.

For them it was something unprecedented and it was clearly reflected in his faces. Joy, confusion, fear.

Saitama and Genos felt confused and happy to see Ryan completely healthy, of course having corpses with the same appearance at his feet did not show that he was well and even more so when various changes in his appearance were reflected.

His crimson red hair was filled with several silver grays, while his golden eyes were tinted a maroon color. It wasn't blood or anything like that, it was his iris.

He certainly attracted everyone's gaze, did he evolve into a monster? No, his change seemed more like he was demoted and even Ryan felt that way.

For him it was as if his soul had split in two, he felt weak and somewhat dizzy; but he also felt that he lost something important and although he did not know what it was that he lost, it was obvious that it was not the time to see what he was missing.

Time was tight enough this time, and he wasn't planning on wasting it talking to the person who "killed" him.

And after looking at her "mate of hers" and asking her if he was alright, Ryan hugged her as he saw Genos and Saitama's stunned look.

After that, Ryan whispered a short phrase and was gone in a blink.

Said flicker was only the product of a protoss skill that Ryan forcefully learned from Fiulo seconds before his teleportation and 'death' from Saitama, of course Ryan didn't care about that, now he just wanted to hit that stupid bald girl and take revenge in the worst possible way...

After a while, the mosquito girl spoke in a broken voice, "W-Why did you save me?"

Of course, the mosquito girl only asked that question to stop thinking about what happened, she not only 'lived' her own death, she was also dragged to this place without even asking for her consent. But it was obvious that helping a monster escape from a hero isn't something an ordinary person would do so she didn't know how to talk to Ryan.

And he didn't want to talk to her about the system either so he could only blurt out a cliche phrase while giving her a playful smile, — "I don't know, I think you're cute and well…"

Disturbed, the mosquito girl could only raise her voice without even letting her finish speaking, "Linda!? I'm a Monster from the house of evolution, I'm not...!"

Ryan also didn't want to continue persuading so he could only try to sound convincing. After all, he was also agitated and didn't want to think too much, "So? Monster or not, you're cute!!"

"What, boy... Who are you?" Shaking her head, the mosquito girl could only try to change the subject, for her, Ryan's likes were superfluous and not as important as the 'resurrection' her.

"Oh, my mistake. My name is Ryan Goshling, but you can just call me Ryan and you, what's your name?"

"No! I mean because I'm still alive. Did you save me just because I look good? Also, monsters don't have human names and..."

"...Hmm, how to put it; technically we both died, but I have an ability that allows me to cheat death and well, we're still alive because of that..." Ryan said shaking his head, "And about why?" what saved you?, attribute it to fate, don't forget that we 'died' so I really couldn't save you and well..."

"Umm! So if I'm with you I can't die?"

"You could say," Rolling his eyes, Ryan could only nod, but then he heard the mosquito girl's seductive voice, "Hehehe~! Interesting, I like hearing that boy, and you..."

Teasing Ryan up to his ear, the mosquito girl coquettishly whispered, "Do you want to be my slave, I promise not to suck you dry?"

She touched his cheek and winked at him as she brought her lips closer to him she asked, "What do you say my boy?"

Like a Succubus, Ryan could only nod dumbly, but then calmed down and spoke calmly.

"Huh huh~~... You know that sounds like a double meaning? And you're a much weaker girl than me so if I want, I can force you to 'play' with me anytime."

"Ehehehe~" Patting her cheek, the mosquito girl separated from Ryan as she heard him say, "...so you shouldn't tempt me."

That obviously surprised her and now that she was feeling much better, she couldn't help but laugh and say to Ryan, "Hohoho! You wanna try it baby? But you know... you might lose more than just your blood."

Ryan could only sigh as he thought to herself, "...Maybe I'll do it later, now I just want to breathe."

"Hahaha~!, you know. For a human I think I like you..."

"MO-MONSTER!!!"

"!" (x2)
