"Master, you'll die if you insist me to become your guide. I am useless and could be a burden to you. Are you sure you wanted me to be your guide?"
The Russian looking like cutie pie Zell said with a painful look on her face.
'Before she stays with me, she already stated that she would harm me. ' Remy thought on how courteous the little girl is.
"Why? What is it? Care to tell me your story before we go into our journey to the west?"
Cough.
"I mean upper level of the tower?"
Remy said with a smile on his face. His mood is truly great. However, he knew that the ghastly aura he had is affecting his personality somehow, but he's happy, and that was not bad. Adding the fact that having a conversation with this pet-like beautiful girl also made him feel good inside.
Zell looked down. She is hesitating. Then she looks at the trio who are looking at her too. They nodded to her as they also wanted to know what this shameless guy would do once he found out something wrong about them.
"Are you-, I... I mean is... Is it okay to tell you?"
Remy nodded. As long as she is not a man in her last life, it is okay.
"I... I am cursed ever since I was living in mortal flesh in my homeworld... My body would unconsciously drain someone's life span and make them fade away early,"
Remy furrowed his brow as he listened. Her eyes had glistening tears on them as she is had a bad experience in her life, but Remy won't console her. He wanted to know what is the other thing may be a burden to him so he can make a final judgment.
Her cheeks became a pinkish red as she continues, "My family, my friends died in front of me slowly in passing years, they also I avoid all the time although its painful for them so I took my life away,"
"But even hell itself won't accept me, for they don't want to take me because my greatest curse is living while everyone abandons me. I am the Black Lady of death."
Remy found it ridiculous. However, there are a lot of things in the Main Plane and Multiverse.
There are even bugs in his last life in the Multiverse connected to this Main Plane that he met would cure illnesses like Aids. However, in the other dimensions, they are deemed as a kaiju bug monster and would be targeted by nukes, although they are just there to help.
"Our God... I mean, I cannot tell you who he is... But he offered me to help him be in this tower, to be a burden to symbiotic cultivators like you as an added trial,"
She had an uncertain look on her face when she said this and so does the trio who are listening.
"Are you sure you are cursed?"
Remy asked but he could tell that's there's some kind of aura surrounding the spirit black lady Zell here. Still, it would be pretty painful for a girl to be this lonely.
She nodded with a painful look in her eyes.
"Do you have a birthday?" Remy asked with a little uncertainty.
"I... I... I only celebrate it alone during my younger years when I was living flesh, but time passed by and I forgot it." She said flatly like she is used to it.
Remy could tell that this girl may have been stuttering all the time but her soul felt empty like she wasn't feeling anything. Dead or Alive, for her, it's the same thing. That's why if he told her to do something she will with no hesitation do it, like earlier.
On the side, while Remy and Zell are having a conversation, the trio is watching everything that even a little change of expression of Remy is being judged.
"I don't know when is your birthday, but late or advance happy birthday," Remy said although he never truly cares that much, and only thinking of such fate is so tragic.
"You also need to consider your feelings more, and you're right, you can accompany me,"
This sentence made her eyes sparkle a little.
Remy is thinking base on his experience that It's bad making girls emotional, so much that's why he wanted to cut it off now. His goal is just to use her for the upper level not to comfort her with lies.
She was about to ask, but, "What about the curs-"
He was cut off by Remy as he looked at the trio watching them and asks, "What about them? Are they on the same page as you?"
Zell turned to the trio and nodded like a poor kid she was.
"Ye-... Ye-... Yes."
"I am curious. If you have living flesh, will you guys hurt each other without noticing, with your curses?" Remy said while preferring himself to leave.
The trio and Zell became dumbfounded at that question. They were shocked by his mischievousness because he is ignoring the fact that his life span is being drained.
"I... Miss Mary can curse anyone as long as he is a male she adores with misfortune, while Krysta can make anyone turn to stone if she felt she hated the person even a little which means it's also a curse and Missa is a priestess of the Death God but she ignored their orders and became this obedient that's why she's punished."
Unknowingly, she introduced the other trio to him that one of them is seething with anger and says, "say nothing anymore Zell, this shameless guy would also die like the others."
Remy only ignored the rant, and says, "Ah, I see," then he pointed his finger at the brown-skinned beautiful woman and says, "If I'm not wrong, she is the forever single aunty."
Then his finger points toward the first girl he saw and says, "She is the disobedient brant, and then," Remy points at one who keeps talking to Zell and says, "Finally, that girl is the loud brat."
"P-... P-... Please don't tease Krysta. She might turn you into stone," said worriedly by Zell.
Remy looks at the loud brat and smiles. "It's okay, come on. Turn me into stone," he said, as he is also curious if he is interested in what his undead appetite can do.
Then his smile froze.
The girl Krysta is now down, kneeling to the ground with her face also looking down below. She is muttering, "I will hate no one, I will hate no one anymore."
Remy felt like he was a jerk, he hate women in the past because they just kept using him. Now, however, he felt guilty about it.
"Her-... Her-... Her family was killed by the townspeople she loves for them to know and prove that she is a witch then kill her, but she hates no one despite they did cruel things to her. Now, she is still suffering because of it.
"That's-... That's-... That's why she is loud for people to hate her instead. So she would feel guilty towards them and won't have to hate anyone anymore."
