Chereads / My Cheater System / Chapter 27 - Innocence

Chapter 27 - Innocence

Nuki is sitting on the floor next to Drache holding a cup with hot chocolate inside it. Sylas takes a seat next to her.

"How did you guys get here?" Drache wrapped his hand in bandages.

"Alexandra came to us." Sylas takes out a cigarette from his pocket. "She used [Warp] to find us and bring us here."

Alexandra is praying in front of Kreel's grave, her third eye is open.

"Y'all brought everything?" Vier looked through his backpack. "My phones missing..."

"I bought everything!" Nuki was hugging Vier's leg.

"Hey, guys, are we going already?" Sylas was asleep in the snow. "I'm tireeeeeed."

"Whatever Sylas, you can stay there." Ella picked up a massive backpack and wore it easily.

"Are you Vier?" Alexandra appeared from a portal in front of the group. "Come quickly."

"Wh-who are you?" Vier was caught off-guard.

"Just come." Alexandra seemed panicked, she was covered in blood.

"Woah, wait a minute." View scoffed. "I'm not just following some random girl into a portal."

Sylas opened his eyes. "Huh?"

"It's Kreel." Alexandra was halfway through the portal, half her body was in the snow. She grabbed Vier and pulled him into the portal.

"Ow!" Vier fell down on the concrete floor. He looked around and found himself inside the boss room. In the middle of the room was a giant cube with a tree poking through it, it had nearly lost all of its leaves.

"What's going on?" Nuki waddled through the portal.

"Here." Alexandra ran over to Kreel.

"Kreel?" Vier got up immediately, dropping his backpack. He sprinted over to Kreel.

Kreel was lying on the floor, he looked fine except for a nasty bite mark on his neck which was pooling blood.

"Hey, hey hey hey man." Vier bent down, getting close with Kreel. "You alright?"

"N-nefer bean bettuh mate..." Kreel was trying to speak but he was shivering and his mouth kept closing.

"Woah woah," Vier grabbed Kreel's hand, it was cold to the touch.

"My eyes... they're..." Kreel looked blankly upwards.

"It's okay, just... look up..." Vier was shocked, he looked at his screen and noticed that Kreel had 7/500 HP.

"They're... still here..." Kreel laughed slightly.

"Kreel, it's not fucking funny." Vier grabbed Kreel's hand, his hands were cold. "It's okay, you'll just be teleported out of the dungeon."

Alexandra rudely butt in. "I'm afraid he won't be."

Vier looked at Alexandra, in disbelief. "Why wouldn't he? We're not in the top 5 floors."

"Someone else did it. We're in a sub-tower, all the rules are thrown out of the window." Alexandra had a worrying look on her face.

Vier asked immediately after, his eyes flared up. "Who the fuck did this?"

Alexandra looked at Vier worryingly. "Umm..."

"WHO THE FUCK DID IT?" Vier screamed at Alexandra. She was taken aback, but she was understanding.

"Your father," Alexandra said.

"What?" Vier's face went blank.

"He hired a hitman to target Kreel and Drache." Alexandra bit her lip.

"Hey man." Kreel grabbed Vier's hand tighter. "Don't worry about me... I'll just... sleep... for a bit..." Kreel's eyes started to close, his shivers getting slower and slower.

"Hey... now's not the time to play jokes okay?" Vier looked away from Alexandra, he didn't even process the information. He seemed to have blocked it.

"Vier, look, it's pointless." Alexandra tried to talk to Vier but he didn't even recognise her as a person in this situation, just another object in the room.

"[Heal]!" Vier tried to use his heal skill, but it barely did anything.

"Vier, listen to me-" Alexandra tried to reason with Vier.

'Kreel: 0/500.' Kreel's body went limp, he stopped holding Vier's hand. He smiled as his hand fell to the ground.

"Vie-" Alexandra was caught off-guard by Vier.

"Where is he." Vier grabbed Alexandra's tunic strap. "Where the fuck is this guy."

Alexandra pointed at Erik's body. He was slowly crawling away and laying against the wall.

Vier stood up. He turned around. He clenched his fists.

"This kid. He's..." Alexandra looks at the way Vier walked, it reminded her of someone.

Vier approached Erik.

"What the fuck do you want? You gonna kill me?" Erik taunted Vier.

Vier, without hesitation, punched Erik in the face.

"Fuck!" Erik coughed up blood.

"Why?" Vier had an emotionless look on his face.

"Why w-" Vier punched Erik again.

"Vere... he asked me to" Vier punched Erik again, causing his teeth to fall out.

Sylas looked at Vier in absolute shock. All of them were in shock. Sylas saw Drache laying on the ground, he came towards him.

"Why?" Vier placed his face close to Erik's face, breathing down his neck.

"Your dads a fucking idiot, that fat bitch was too easy-" Erik snickered.

"FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!" Vier punched Erik in the face, causing his bones to break.

Vier opens his eyes. He's sleeping in a sleeping bag with everyone around him doing their own thing. Vier sits up and sees Alexandra sitting next to him, holding a water bottle.

"Drink up." She hands him the water bottle. He takes a massive jug, wiping away the water from his mouth. "Sorry about what I did."

Vier looks at her blankly.

"Unface told me things about you." Alexandra is looking in the far distance, Vier looks at her. "He and I use to be friends."

"You..." Vier has a blank expression on his face.

"You don't remember anything?" Alexandra knocks on Vier's head.

He stares at her even more blankly. "Kreel just died."

Vier blinks, looking down at his hands, his shirt was stained with blood but his hands were clean. "Oh," Vier said monotonously.

"You okay?" Alexandra looked at Vier's face, he was smiling.

"He's happy, isn't he." Vier looks up at Alexandra. "Kreel. He's in a happier place, right."

Alexandra was shocked at Vier, she was expecting another violent outbreak, instead, she received this. "Yea." She smiled reassuringly. She scoffed, "Unface, you dirty fucking bastard." She thinks to herself.

"Where is everyone?" Vier looks around.

"Hey." Alexandra grabs Vier's chin. "Look at me."

Vier turns his head, he looks at Alexandra. Alexandra leans in, she kisses Vier on the lips. Vier is emotionless.

"[Enchantress]." She whispers into Vier's mouth. Alexandra's third eye opens.

"I thought you retired." Alexandra looks around, not sitting in the chair.

"I thought you would never come." Unface is sitting on his throne, across from Alexandra.

"Is that what you say to your wife?" Alexandra takes a seat on the chair.

"What are you doing in my subspace?" Unface takes off his mask, placing it on the table.

"I can't have you playing tricks on Vier. He needs to know." Alexandra places both of her feet on the table.

"I really need to clean that spot." Unface clears his throat. "I didn't do anything. He chose to block that out all by himself."

"Still, you're just sitting there on your throne and watching Vier go through this shit? And you don't do anything?" Alexandra crossed her legs.

"Got a fucking problem?" Unface smiles, contorting his facial skin.

"You do fucking realise the second he realises that his dad ordered the death of his best friend, he's coming after him." Alexandra looked dead in Unface's face.

"You can't do that death stare thing against me can you?" Unface mocks Alexandra. "Why wouldn't I want that? It's a good show. A story about a son avenging his best friend by killing his dad, isn't that just an interesting plot?"

Alexandra sighs. "You haven't changed in 4000 years." Alexandra stands up. "See ya later, cunt." She covers her third eye with her hand.

Alexandra pulls away from Vier's lips.

They both look at each other awkwardly. Alexandra blushes.

Vier smiles. "That was nice." He smiled with innocence.

Alexandra looks at Vier. She smiles.
