1 week passed like that.
With Limma's help, the quest reached Level 42.
[Quest/43: Combine all the resulting text to match properly.]
It was a long pile of writing, and wherever you looked, there was a book coming out. As it would take a long time to complete the task, he closed it for now and lay nicely on the bed.
He discovered that he was an idle person outside of work.
It would be 50 days since he came here, and he still couldn't comprehend why he was alive.
His only hope...
He paused and for the first time, a small smile fell on his lips.
While his mood, which had been pessimistic for a while, was getting better, he slowly prepared to go to the cafe.

[Yun]
"Hmm?"
[The character you named me after, I couldn't find his cartoon.]
His voice was offended as if saying 'You lied to me'.
"Stupid," he continued giggling.
"It was my mother who wrote this script. My father used to make it a cartoon for me at every opportunity"
He remembered the cartoon his father made with his toys.
"We didn't have television at that time. So whenever I said I wanted to watch cartoons, my father would do it for me"
Desolate black eyes made his face distorted compared to the bitter smile on his lips. After a moment of emotional uncontrollability, he quickly regained his balance, and the eyes finally had a shard of 'emotion'.
No matter how much it was a lie, anyone who saw that statement couldn't deny it.
And the system did not detect the slightest oddity.
Cheng, Yun inspected the bar as he happily hummed.
Sometimes greetings were given. After a while, he became a familiar person in the bar.
Regardless of the yellow badge on his white shirt, the number of people who knew his name increased every moment.
And today, too, there was an awkward silence.

The air slowly began to dissipate the cold.
Even the wind was a warm breeze that warmed the heart. However, the same could not be said for Yun's mood.
19/04/652
Midnight.
There's a mute face on the phone, sinking.
After a slight pause, he recorded the edited text.
"Finished"
[Quest/43: Done]
There was a vague sound of joy in the system's voice.
When he took a glass of water and drank it, he finally came to his senses and realized that his whole body felt uncomfortable as if it was sour.
Those few days he spent unconscious as a drunk, he felt like death.
He had completely lost his sense of time.
*gumm*
Just then, Limma rushed to open the door.
He knelt on the ground breathlessly, clutching his chest with his hand.
Time seemed to slow down.
Despite the closed windows, the abnormal breeze was noticed inside.
A pair of black eyes stared at the slowly condensing body.
[Mission bullshit is over]
He didn't see the need to hide an iota of unconcealable arrogance in his voice and went even further.
[Hehehehe, finally! Seriously finally!] He started to feel his body merrily intensify again.
Limma leaned against the wall, breathing quickly, quite agitated unlike Yun, who was silently watching what was going on.
"What's happening ?!" ' Limma wanted to roar.
Controlling her transparent but still bulky body, she said in a satisfied tone [no need for you anymore].
He slowly moved towards Yun, who was standing.
[I won't keep you here any longer] After giggling [your family is waiting] she choked me.
Everything went so fast that Limma couldn't even comprehend.
He didn't react in the slightest, except for his face, which was flushed with breathlessness. The eyes seemed a little darker.
After showing not the slightest sign of resistance, Cheng left him in a good mood, thinking he could kill him in a minute. She couldn't help but ask.
[Can't you resist?]
Yun's expressionless expressions made him increasingly awkward.
"I've already died once"
"Now I live like a dead man"
"My presence or absence changes nothing"
I mean, he didn't care whether he lived or died.
His task was to breathe until he died.
Cheng "..."
[Then you can die]
As he was about to squeeze his neck with his hand again, Yun started to speak again.
"10"
"9"
"8"
"7"
"6"
Cheng anxiously waited for the countdown, even though he wasn't feeling well. Pity, he must have finally lost his mind, laughing at the thought.
"5"
"4"
"3"
"2nd"
"one"
"0"
Time expired but nothing happened as expected.
Thin and pointed, transparent hands reached the throat, slowly drenched in blood.
At that moment, the whole body began to make sizzling noises and then crumbled.
Everything happened within 2 minutes and the system was only 120 seconds into existence.
Limma was frozen.
His mind still can't comprehend what happened in those two minutes. What could happen in such a short time?
Short of breath, he rushed to Yun's room, but when he arrived, he saw a non-human creature. Then Yun would die, but in the end, it was the creature that disappeared.
What the hell ?!!
