Stretching my head from behind Angel, I looked ahead. For the next thirty seconds, I couldn't think, move, or hear anything. Only after my pitiably poor neck muscles started to hurting did my brain get the signals.
Through the large windows, the hall had become illuminated with a red light resembling sunset. There until now pure white roaring snow storm has become drenched in red.
The beautiful white flowers have now changed into flesh-eating, enormous flowers in bright orange, green, and purple. Fighting against gigantic spider like creatures with shiny white fur. Monsters with mouths full of sharp teeth like those of sharks, and dark purple acidic feet.
The show off was amazing and drowned me in two emotions. Aw and fear. Each body-part that as much as got into contact with the bright petals of the flowers or the flower dust, turned limp and later got easily bitten off.
"Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"
"gekkkkkkkkkk!"
"What was that?"
"Was that from upstairs?"
"It can't be from inside, right?"
The ominous roaring echo filled the building, a very familiar sound. Something from a vision I had seen the other night. A roar that sounded too vivid and loud to be dismissed as something from outside. A sound I had seen coming from...
Suddenly, the roar became abnormally louder, as if it wanted to drill a hole in my head. My head throbbed with pain and I felt l couldn't stay. On my knees while holding my painful head, I thought, this is really not the time.
[Warning Curse of remembrance is in effect! Warning! Penalty from the blessing of %%%&&! Warning! Act within 35 minutes!]
"I knew it! It was a curse! Damn that demon fairy!" I mumbled, looking up as I gulped down the acid coming up.
[Next penalty will be a guilt trip paralyzing going on for 1 hour! Warning: your current mentality can't withstand the next level of penalty! Warning risk for death!]
For a second there, I forgot how to breathe. Death? How is that possible? It never worked like this... What is this damned system spitting!
[The damned thing you can ignore! System is a highly accurate programmed system to help people survive doom, says the system owner.]
Gulp! This thing is really creepy!!
[However, according to the system owner, whoever doesn't want the help can just quit the system! But the system should warn the awakened that this isn't a game! Even if the awakened doesn't have the system, the world will remain as it is!
Would you want to quit: YES! / No!
Warning: all the titles and skills granted by the system will get taken back from the awakener and elements awakened by the system are no exception either! Awakening takes time and making skills takes even longer!
Warning: if you quit you won't be able to connect to the system afterwards because "the dying saint" didn't have anymore mana to pour down the charity hill!]
'Okay! I am sorry I got it. No, please don't leave me!!! You can stop threatening me!'
Huh! This is a crisis! If the system isn't rigged, then how can I prevent dying?
[System never said it's not rigged. If the system has to say it's indeed rigged since the dying saint made it this way! In fact, prices in the system's store are high to the boot because of monopoly! But the dying saint set them since the dying saint was the first to invent such a thing! No one else can have so much variety of everything and so much knowledge that can get transferred!]
Why do I think it sounds proud?
[ That is because the system indeed got programmed to be proud of its creator! No matter how rigged!!]
'Now, I feel like I can't even think freely... Please don't answer to this and if you can give me a scenario where I don't die!!'
I didn't expect an actual solution, but to my surprise, it indeed came up with ideas about how to survive...
[ The system recommends using the skill class 'Owner of the castle of remembrance! SSS+++']
Owner of the castle of remembrance?
[Details on Owner of the castle of remembrance:
Class type: Inheritable
- MY CASTLE: You can summon/deport anything/anyone to/from the castle!
- THESE WALLS HAVE EARS: You can pick into information about anything/anyone inside the castle!
-BAN/CAN: Banning and entry premises! *Psst, costs more to ban than to deport! Deport the ones that can't teleport back and ban only those who can!
**Warning: Using any skill under this skill pack costs mana!! Mana deficiency can cause fainting, abnormal long sleep and, in severe cases, death! So always make sure you have enough mana in your body!
**Cautious: Each Materia takes a different amount of mana! Check it with cautiousness before doing any action!]
'So, do you mean I should transport everyone somewhere safe?'
[ No! The system in not permitted to instruct users on what to do because of the owners' hypocritical ways of thinking.
Since the system is based on the owner's knowledge and way of thinking, that would count as the system owner taking responsibility for your life, and that is not what the system creator's intentions are. The dying saint made the system to help, not to press their opinion on the users!]
Wow, such a long speech...
Tsk, really such a hypocritical stingy system! If you are helping, then help to the end. Why are you acting like a teacher giving hints and asking the student to solve the problem on their own? Ah, there are only five minutes left. Whatever!
Deep inhale. 1, 2, 3!
"Everyone, run up to your room and take your important belongings, wear warm clothes and run down. The monsters are on the five top floors, so you have about half an hour!"
Seeing that despite my shout, no one had moved an inch, I shouted again before running towards the stairs.
"NOW!!"
"KRRRRR"
"HHHHEEEEEEEUUU"
"KEERRRRR"
The roaring sounds were intimidating, but hearing the footsteps behind me, I didn't dare to falter. What should the children do if I did?
Ignoring the noises, I entered my room. So did three others. Turning around to the two men behind me and the Evelin behind them, before they could start questioning me about anything, I started ordering them.
"Wh-"
"We don't have time for any of that! There is extra bedding in the closet in the dressing room of all the room on this floor. Take them to the basement."
Then I remembered something. The articles in the library.
"And there are packages in the library! Bring them to the basement too and be careful transferring those!" I said as I took a backpack and run to the toilet to fill it with hygiene articles.
I was taking soaps that a hand took my wrist. Looking up, I saw Angel.
"How do you know all these things? How could you tell they were on the top floor? You haven't even awakened!"
I looked into his eyes.
" People change, the Dawn from before couldn't tell, but I am no longer an eight-year-old Angel!"
He looks at me with a stern expression. Still not letting go. Stubborn as his son.
"Okay, I will confess! Remember what you used to say every day? Never make a contract with a fairy! I did it, I sacrificed some things and now I can sometimes foresee a short distance future! Happy? Now let go if you don't want us to become monster food! Cause that is highly possible!"
Angel's eyes shimmered with a silver hoe.
[ System message, "Angel Glacies de Miracle" is using 'the saint's eyes' on you! The saint's eyes verify your words as the truth!]
His silver eyes darkened and his grip came loose. I ignored his dimmed eyes and shouted again while going back to my closet.
"All women who don't have warm clothes come here and all men who don't go to Lucas! The boy with golden eyes! Lucas, share some clothes, please!
When you are done, bring everything in the kitchen to the basement, and stay there!"
