"Y..y..you?"
Ryan said stuttering as he took a couple steps backwards.
Ren was Ryan's older sister...basically there are twins, but Ren was born first while Ryan came out four hours later.
Ryan trying to recall her familiar face gets hit with fragments of his past life as he remembers the face of his killer.
Ryan wanted to pin her down and ask her why, he wanted to inflict severe pain on her, but for some reason ge couldn't move, he wasn't even able to speak. He just stood there frozen in the aftermath of their encounter.
"Brother are you ok?" Ren asked with concern laced with her tone.
Ryan wasn't sure on what to reply her, but from the way she acted, Ryan suggested that she wasn't the one from his previous life, but that was just an hypothesis.
"I...I'm fine, it's ok?" Ryan said adjusting his composure back to normal.
He wasn't sure on what was going on, but he needed to remain calm as freaking out would not help him obtain answers.
"Are you sure...why did you shiver when you saw me?" Ren asked with curiosity on her face.
Ren was the kind of person that paid attention to every little detail around her, tho she had a cute appearance deep inside she was a cold blooded assassin. It was no surprise that she had become an S rank Adventurer at the age of fifteen.
"Um...well, that's because you look beautiful today" Ryan said with a smile.
Ren took a step back upon hearing him say that, tears were almost visible at the corner of her eye.
"Are you ok? Did i say something wrong?" Ryan asked, although he was on her alert for the lady in front of him, he wasn't sure why she stepped back away from him.
"N.no,no you didn't" she said as she controlled her emotions. "It's just that this is first time you've complimented me, you've always been so cold towards me." She said with sadness in her tone as she bowed down her head.
Oh yeah, Ryan's predecessor was a total dickhead, always dismissing everyone away from him. I mean, it's ok when you want to be alone, but for you to avoid family was just cold. Ryan remembered as he used to treat her as if she was nothing but trash. He's always been cold and mean to poor girl.
Just for a moment Ryan felt bad for her, even though she had just ended his life, he still felt some sympathy towards her.
'Fucking bastard, i hope you burn in hell' Ryan said inwardly as he cursed his predecessor.
'How could someone be so cold to an angel like Ren' Ryan said inwardly as he heaved a sigh.
The next thing she knew, Ryan was hugging her close in a tight embrace.
"I'm sorry for everything" Ryan said as he held in a tight embrace.
Ren couldn't believe what was happening, her once cold hearted brother who couldn't stand her presence, was no holding her in a tight embrace. She tried her best to stop herself from crying, but it was her tears had a mind of their own. She just let them flow as she buried herself in his arms.
After a few minutes of hugging her, Ryan separated their warm embrace.
"I know that i haven't been a good brother to you in the past, I'm sorry....i promise to make it up to you from now on." Ryan said with a calm and reassuring voice.
Hearing this, Ren couldn't believe her eyes, it was like she was dreaming. She stood motionless as she stared deeply into his beautiful blue eyes.
"Uh huh" Ren responded as tears kept flowing from her eyes. It was truly happening, after eighteen long years, she finally got through to him. Ren thought as she wiped her tears and her face went back her it's original cold-cute expression.
"Well, i got to hurry now, I'll see you later, if you are willing to make amends, I'll be waiting" she said as she walked away from him. Waving her hand in the air as she ran happily. Ryan proceeded to return the wave back at her.
As soon as she left a mechanical voice sounded in his head.
"Host, you are not allowed to harm your reincarnator" the voice said in a cold tone warning him.
'Reincarnator? What does that mean?' Ryan asked the voice.
"Your reincarnator is the person assigned to end your first life and take you to your second life" the voice responded.
After listening to the voice for some time, Ryan finally understood why his body had refused to move when he first met her. It was his skill preventing him from making the worst decision ever. When people are about to be reincarnated, their assigned reincarnators take the form of someone from the world they are going to be reincarnated in.
Ryan's reincarnator took the form of his sister.
As Ryan was about to continue on his way...a floating panel appeared in front of him.
[You have gained affection from Ren Carter
You can now proceed to dominate her
Favorability:70/80
Affection:59/80]
'Wow' Ryan thought after reading the info on the screen. His sister was in love with him. Once jer affection meter gets to the fullest, he could dominate her and gain her skill.
From what Ryan remembered, Rens skill was a powerful one. Wind Breaker, the name of her skill was a powerful one indeed. Her skill allows her to move at the speed of sound and walk on air and water moving undetected in the shadows. Making it the perfect skill for carrying out assassinations.
This skill would prove useful for Ryan in the future, as it was a skill suited for close combat, enabling the user to seamlessly evade her opponents attacks and land a devastating blow on them, before they even knew what was going on.
With this information, Ryan proceeds on his plan to dominate his sister.
