Chapter 18 - 18: We can return to the past

They both agreed. It's time to move on.

It's true they still don't trust each other that much, but still...there was a little bit of trust between them at this point. Of course, as they spend time with each other, a bond of trust will form between them. It was just a matter of fact.

" San, is there no transportation in this area? I mean, if we are to go by feet it's gonna take too much time ", Nuri asked.

" Transportation you say, the answer is No. As much as I know, the roads here are not narrow and fragile, the sand path I should say. No bus or vehicle can run on such roads ", Said Santiago.

Nuri became sad all of a sudden.

' Hey! Invisible man, come out and tell me the directions. Plus how much time it's going to take? ', Nuri asked in her mind.

It's been some hours now since she last heard the voice of the invisible man. She kinda misses him now.

Just after her calling, she heard the same voice, a transparent cool screen appeared before her eyes with the foolproof map of the east region black market.

[ There's not much for us to talk about here. This is the map, you just have to move ahead while seeing these directions. Another thing, cover yourself well, you might meet people on the way, so be careful. People in this city are more agile than you can think, so you must protect yourself ", Said the voice.

He was right, she don't know much about this era. But she saw some posts and postures on the way when she was traveling in the flying bus stating how they ban and restrict the human-ritter cities.

From the looks of it, the hatred seems to be rooted in p. It would be a problem if anyone sees her in her original form.

' It's been more than twenty-four hours since we met, right? So now...can you tell me who you are? Yesterday when I asked you to show your real self, you refused and said that you don't have a physical body. If you are not a person with a social body, who arw you? A spirit? Or maybe a ghost? '.

Believe it or not, was curious about him. It's been a day since she woke up in the future, yet she knows nothing about her savior.

[ If you really wanna know who I am, I will tell you everything. Thousand years ago when you lost yourself in the deep sea, I was awakened by your blood, and we made a pact. You became my master while I am merely your servant. I have waited for you for thousand years, I can't lose you, my dear master ]

Now, this was information hard to digest. She blinked many times after hearing his answer. ' What nonsense are you spouting? Look here, I might be dumb and stupid, but enough to let anyone fool me. I don't remember making any kind of pact with anyone. At that time I had thoughts of killing myself. It's impossible '.

She heard him and it was impossible to believe him. She clearly remembers she throw herself in the water, and had no will to live anymore as her bastard boyfriend was with that vixen and being lovey Dovey with that butch.

[ What you are experiencing right now is the aftereffects of that accident that took place five hundred years ago, it was a big toll on you. The past You knew you won't believe me when you woke up, so she told me to guide you properly in the new era ]

The more she was listening to him, the more confused she becomes. As if there was a vast sea in front of her while she is only introduced to the small tide. This feeling was too strange.

She clearly remembers nothing about her past life. Her memories were only intact until the moment she threw herself into the ocean, just till there and no memories ahead. Everything was bleak after that.

' So...Who are you exactly? '.

[ As I said earlier, I am your system, your servant for the life, the one who will be with you forever and do everything that deems right for you ]

The way, it was speaking, made her feel she knew it from way long before.

Was he telling the truth? Are things seriously the way he makes them seem? So many questions but no answers. She was feeling more lost now.

But the name System...it provided her with some ideas. ' You said you are my system. Which one? The leveling one or the normal one, the one that provides tasks or the one which is simply for my survival '.

Finally, the knowledge of the novels is coming to good use. Before opening her eyes to this new era, she was into the system and reincarnation-type novels, she even learn literature so she can be a good writer one day.

Since she was into sci-fi style writing, she knew things that were made up at that time, and the protagonist gaining the system was the most popular at that time.

She quickly caught up to that.

[ My master is truly brilliant. Even though you are taking a toll on that accident, you still have your intelligence intact. I am leveling system, I will help you survive in this world. And if you want, we can also travel back into the past when none of this ever happen ]

He was confident and proud of the talents and superpowers he had.

' We can travel back in the past? '.

[ Of course, we can ]

' What are we waiting for then, let's go. Return to our real world '.

She was excited to return to her real world, the place where she belongs rightfully. But was that possible? Can she return to her real world?

Is her system speaking the truth or there is a trap behind it?

No matter from which angle one thinks this seems to be impossible to happen. But if it's true, Nuri might be able to do something about her life.
