"Seed of Darkness?" I asked the tall man standing before me.
"Yes. At least, that is what I think it is." The tall man shook his head before smiling softly. "Either way, that is the reason why you didn't get the System. It corrupts you, as those people like to say."
I frowned, thinking about who could be responsible for putting the seed in me. I immediately assumed it was the old man from the Temple. He might have had a grudge against me from the beginning. I was the only one who felt pain when he covered us with that golden light. It might be the time when he planted the seed.
"Ha-Ha-Ha," the tall man laughed, awakening me from my thought. "No, Shizuru. Someone didn't plan it inside you—you were born with it. The Seed of Darkness is given to the chosen person. You are lucky enough to have it inside you."
"This shit ruined my life—why should I be happy?"
