Chapter 9 - M1/4

Already realize the headache that will come from all these future boring conversations about deciphering their past tense, managing the future affairs of the company, keeping an eye on those greedy old foxes and their cubs so as not to be bitten, argh.

Sighing about his future, he said in a cold and serious voice, completely contrary to his inner thoughts.

— Yue proceeds to improve the entire physique. While saying this, he closed his eyes and waited.

However, a few moments later, nothing happened. Frowning, Luan called out to him in a voice laced with confusion:

— Yue?

Yue, his system, looked at him again hesitantly, as if he was hesitant to say something, but was afraid of what would happen next.

Luan looked at him skeptically, as if to tell him to hurry up and say what had been bothering him all this time so that he could finally focus on the transfer.

---

— Uh.

Subjected to this intense aura, Yue opened her mouth one last time and said in a small voice:

— H-Host, there is something that Yue hasn't told you about the progress of the mission.

Raising one of his eyebrows upon hearing it, he said in a calm, almost frightening voice:

— Continue.

——...

— Yue?

— Ah uh, it's that, since your mission is a high-level mission, then to increase the difficulty, the main system had the idea of ​​placing the newly p-project Offered by one of our superiors for your mission, to experience a gift.

It focuses on the transmission of the body given to the host in the worlds they will visit, which is called 'broken body'.

"Broken body?" Luan asked in a confused voice.

"Yes, host, as you can guess by its name, the concept of 'broken body' concerns the body the host is placed in. This constraint occurs once the host has completed their soul-body synchronization.

Once the synchronization is complete in each world, the host will be faced with a different physical problem of varying degrees that cannot be cured by any potion or medicinal pill, regardless of their rank, such as losing their eyesight or having a serious illness like cancer… In rare cases, this can also involve a psychological problem that the original owner has suffered during their life, such as trauma.

The more he listened to his system, the more it was noticeable that Luan's eyebrows were furrowing in displeasure.

Sighing, wrapping a small strand of silver hair around his finger reflexively, Luan then asked in a frustrated voice, with a hint of anger mixed in his tone:

"And didn't you think that it would have been better to say it in advance rather than waiting until the last minute to do it? Huh, Yue?"

Feeling rushed, Yue hurriedly said,

—Host, believe me, this is not Yue's fault.

Yue wanted to warn you the moment he got this information, but every time he tried to warn you, he lost the network with you. You also know, host, that I will not make this kind of low-level mistake.

—And what is the purpose of creating this kind of absurd project?

—Host, this project was created to give some high-level hosts adrenaline and The excitement makes them take their work more seriously.

'What evil mind came up with the idea of ​​causing illnesses in others to make them work harder?'

Seeing his system almost on the verge of fear, he let go of this matter for the moment. He stayed a bit, then said:

— I understand, stop worrying. It's probably a restriction that has arisen. Focus on activating the synchronization instead.

Happy to be released, he said:

— Come out right away!

"STARTING SYNCHRONIZATION BETWEEN THE TWO ENTITIES….

APPLICATION OF CODE #4396482

WORLD ACCESS CHECK #7

CHECK COMPLETED

BEGINNING LINK IN 5… 4… 3… 2…

ERROR CODE BROKEN CORP WAS ACTIVATED

LINK IN 3… 2… 1…"

With the last number declared. A feeling of a wave enveloping his entire being was felt, as if he was soaked in a substance from which he could not escape.

Along with this feeling, Luan began to feel the changes in his soul, or rather in his new body. He became more and more aware of the environment around him, and sensations, such as touch and smell, were becoming more and more pronounced, compared to before where he felt vague sensations.

Slight sharp pains were felt, coming from his back and chest, probably from the injuries the original owner had suffered during the battle.

As he slowly regained consciousness, he noticed a smell of paper and ink that reached his nose, which made him relax without him realizing it.

Looking at his surroundings, he could describe it with one word: a study room. Indeed, looking at these mountains of shelves filled with thick books that, when looking at him, gave off knowledge, and this marble-colored desk decorated with simple patterns in the form of well-defined thin lines with many documents stacked up To each other, he could immediately understand.

Which explains why he had not heard anything until then during his entire conversation with his system.

However, it suited him anyway; he liked this silence that only books could provide him. Confirming that everything was quiet, he closed his eyes and tried to circulate his spiritual energy in his meridians. It was a fairly easy process thanks to the habit that this body has developed over many years.

As his energy flowed, Luan gradually felt a current of warmth enveloping his body. However, unlike his calm exterior, he was still enduring the slight waves of pain from his injuries. It could already be seen that the body state of this body was truly broken. His energy core was severely injured, with several spiritual threads occasionally shaking unsteadily, unintentionally hitting the slightly corroded wounds on his back, causing those wounds to agitate internally more and more.

Opening his eyes, he asked in his mind:

—Yue, how much time do I have left before this body can no longer last?

Without a second of delay, the voice of his system rang in his head:

—Host, unfortunately, the system cannot confirm this due to the peculiarities of the 'broken body' restriction. All Yue can say is that the more unstable the emotions are, the more the broken body will respond to those emotions in a different way.

So I advise the host to stay calm and not abuse his power more than necessary so as not to aggravate the injuries.

Understanding this, Luan then opened his laptop to look at some documents. He didn't mind what the system had said anyway; since losing his memories, few things could affect him.

As for using his powers, he just had to be careful and that's it.

As long as he doesn't get into a battle head-on, his current state will be enough for him to carry out his plan.

While looking at the glowing screen, a knock sounded at the door, followed by a soft and calm voice.

"Master, may I come in?"

Alright, then, let's get started?
