Limma was leaning against a tree, covering her mouth with her hand in shock. He didn't even dare to breathe.
Midnight.
The moonlight illuminated the vague silhouette in the forest.
Why?
Why here?
The pupils of his eyes trembled.
The silver hair, scattering pampered by the moonlight, radiates a pale light. His face is not visible from the darkness, but his blue eyes are focused on her as if they were on the hunt...
***
When Yun learned that his first task was to acquire a subordinate, he wandered around quietly.
His feet dragged him irrelevantly all day long.
Half of his day was already wasted like that.
His eyes lit up when he saw the forest.
It was called subordinate, so it didn't have to be human.
But he paused when he realized something.
The girl noticed.
When there was no one brave enough to come here at midnight, the fact that a girl was there caught his attention. He studied her face, and although it was dark, he could see very well.
Brown big eyes and dark brown hair.
The first name that comes to mind is "Limma"
The girl who died from the first episode.
As a result of her desperate rebellion, she could not find an escape route, so she chose to embrace death rather than surrender to them.
I looked at his expression.
He had an air of sheer horror on his face as he saw me. Stop moving, she just froze, not daring to breathe.
No, I mean, this is our first encounter, being treated like I've been resurrected from hell.
This made me ask the question, 'Is there a murderer who looks like me out there?' for the second time.
I wouldn't have stopped when I was about to turn around and leave.
He who did not accept the situation killed someone despite all the fear. She fled, fought ...
I looked back at him.
He has the will, why not?
***
Why is he approaching me!!!
Limma leaned against the tree in fear.
Being targeted by that partnerless pair of eyes that seemed unemotional was terrifying.
"I'll give you a chance. A chance to stand up. How about standing on top of men who belittle you?"
He held out his hand, and his tone was calm rather than arrogant. As if...
As if this is not difficult to achieve...
But she was shocked.
She hadn't thought of that, she!
She lowered her gaze after she swallowed, "Okay," she said, reluctantly but still trying to sound 'strong'.
"Then you are my assistant from now on"
[Ding]
[Mission completed]
[Quest Rewards: Longevity: (2 days 9 hours) +1 day 7 hours]
[...]
[Life: 3 days 16 hours]
After the system's reminder, he turned off the virtual screen and turned to the girl.
Feeling his gaze again, his body trembled violently.
"Get up, we're leaving. They'll be here soon"
Seeing the girl's slightly suspicious gaze, he said sarcastically, "What happened? You dare to kill your master and you're afraid of a passer-by?"
He was the passerby, of course.
She slowly stood up after she looked down and weakly denied "No, no…".
Looking at the back of the person in front, she followed with a confused expression.
Of course, how could this man not know?
Even though they had only just met, he probably knew everything about her.
He swallowed hard.
When he stopped abruptly, the girl also stopped.
"Hide and wait," she said, turning to him and pointing at the bush.
Limma moved away as soon as she hid.
Limma couldn't help but startle again.
While the ground was full of branches, ivy, and dry leaves, he advanced without a sound.
Judging by his usual demeanor, the man in front of him had a natural and reflexive sequence of movements, as if he was used to hiding.
After the youth disappeared, he buried his head in his knee and began to wait.
***
Night.
The sky is misty and gloomy.
A cloud-like mist surrounded him as if the sky had descended to the ground.
There are also several insect sounds accompanying the owl sound.
Dark.
A rough man, a little short for his weight, with a scruffy beard, thick eyebrows, and a leather jacket leaned against a tree in silence.
The cigarette in his mouth was still smoking as he twirled his lighter in his hand.
The orange flame of the cigarette was the only source of light, other than the moon, to illuminate the night.
His eyes were focused on one particular place, resting absently and somewhat comfortably. Perhaps his normally tense muscles relaxed at the thought of no one in the woods to cause him trouble.
Just behind the tree on which the man was leaning, the young man leaned.
He blew out the smoke as he picked up the cigarette with his rough hands and smashed it on the ground.
He took out the second branch, burned it, and continued.
At that time, Limma was already frightened and started to move in the direction the youth had gone.
Although the youth is scary, loneliness is also scary!
He was about to call out when he saw the youth, but he suddenly paused. His pupils dilated and he trembled harshly as he focused as if trying to figure out what he was doing.
The thin scalpel gleamed in the moonlight and quickly plunged into the neck of the man on the other side of the tree.
The speed was so fast, the movements were made as if without an iota of hesitation.
Blood gushed out, the man was already on the verge of death before he realized how it happened with the second blow as he clutched his neck and sank to the ground.
His eyes darkened, and he clutched his neck, where warm blood was flowing, as he lay on the floor. Breathing heavily, he wanted to take one last glance at his murderer. He was shocked when he saw it.
HE!
His body trembles with a cold shiver.
He's dead!
Ganja locked her eyes, focusing on those misty blue eyes that shone faintly.
He set fire to that person and killed himself!!
But he stands firm before him.
How ?!
His eyes completely lost focus and the gasping ceased.
The youth crouched down, using the 1-time skill he received in exchange for his life, disposing of the corpse.
This cost him 10 hours.
He would never see him again, as if he had evaporated from the earth when people searched for him. As if it never existed.
The young man turned his back and said "Let's go" and moved on.
Yun's feelings were mixed as Limma followed languidly and in a trance.
For taking someone's life? No, of course, he knew that that person was trying to take his life, and he learned his position with the help of the system. What happened next was already obvious...
The reason he felt confused was because of the strange and strange feeling inside him. So far he hasn't gotten used to this world, it's still under the illusion that it's fiction, and it's like everyone doesn't exist. It was all just a dream and he couldn't take anything seriously.
But the murder he had just committed had shattered his imagination and forced him into reality.
He died.
This place is real.
He only has one chance.
And if he dies, his soul will vanish from this world forever...
She felt nostalgic, clenched her fists, and buried her memories forever.
He is no longer the man of his previous world.
She is no longer a girl.
He has a family, some plot around him, some want his life...
He is now completely human in this world.
And the feeling of foreignness that he had drawn inside of him completely disappeared.
