Alexandra's POV—
"Thiss Fooudd iss gggodd! Itt seemsss theee itemmms havenn't goonnee baddd!" (This food is good! It seems the items haven't gone bad!)
I have plenty of food items in my space but I can't take it out in front of them. Thankfully, there are some food items in this house, which we are in.
"What are you saying?" Shimran sneered at me. Oh, I blushed in embarrassment and quickly swallowed the masticated food in my mouth.
Smiling awkwardly, I scratched my head. "Sorry! I was a tad excited," I said.
She snorted and ate the bread slowly. Lia shook her head and said, "Don't worry there are still plenty left. You are really hungry, aren't you?"
"Being unconscious for three days makes a person hungry but you… I don't know what to say." Sarcastic words were again thrown in the air by Shimran. If I didn't know her personality, then I would have thought that she harbours some bad intentions towards me. But I do know her and so, no need to take it seriously.
When Shuren said that I was unconscious for three days, I was shocked for a while. But it was obvious. The system told me that my body will self-heal unless that part is not amputated, and I was severely injured everywhere, with my whole-body aching. Of course, I would be in a comatose state.
[You killed a person.]
Here, I was thinking where it was. It finally came.
'Where were you?! My wonderful life was meaningless without you! Why did you even come this late? I missed you~'
[Yuck! Stop your disgusting acting. I have no interest to see it. Or, hear it.]
'What can I do for Your Majesty?'
[… I think arguing with you is 'meaningless.' So, let's move on to the main topic. You killed a man. Despite all your objections, you killed him. How are you feeling?]
'Nothing. Just a bit disgusted, with me and all. You are happy.'
[Why wouldn't I? My host finally killed someone.]
'If I didn't know anything, I would have thought you as a system which specialized in motivating its host to kill.'
[I will ignore that. Let's focus on your experience. Were you excited?]
'No'
[Sad?]
'For a moment.'
[Satisfied?]
'Don't know.'
[Future plans? Wants to kill anyone else?]
I sighed loudly and shook my head. Thankfully, no one saw me doing this as they were busy with their works.
'No. I am not a killer. As for killing anyone, it depends on the situation. So, please leave it and don't come unless I call you, ok?'
[Fine, I am going. But I advise you to see your status.]
Saying that, it didn't say anymore. I twirled the spoon in my hand and thought for a minute. Its last words were indicating something. Ah! Fuck it! Let's just see.
'Status.'
A mechanical translucent screen appeared in front of me. It seems it has changed a bit. In my past life, it was like a hologram. Maybe it will be its final form.
Name: Alexandra Swann
Level: 3
Status: Transmigrator/Reincarnated Individual
Abilities:
Metal Ability: - Level: 4
Space Ability: - Level: 4
Healing Ability: - Level: 1 (Locked)
Spirit Ability: - Level: 1 (Locked)
Coins: 5000|
What the fuck! Shouldn't I be at Lv. 1? Not just that… my two abilities are at level 3. Why did it increase this drastically? Suddenly, my eyes widened in shock. 'Killing.' This levels me up a bit faster than killing zombies and taking pills. With a pill, at best I will jump one level… but killing makes me jump two level. Also, I can see my 'wallet' now. 5000 coins, hmmm… not bad.
[You are not so dull after all. Good. Maybe your future is not so bleak.]
'Should I be happy?'
[Are you tempted?]
'To kill? Not much. Wait? Didn't I say not to disturb me?'
[You are really wasting a bigtime opportunity.]
'Maybe. But I don't care. You always keep sensitive information from me. Unless, I am in a big problem, you won't reveal it. So, I cannot trust you. Who knows, what will happen when I follow your words, right? So, kindly please do one thing.'
['Fuck off.' You will say that, won't you?]
'Yes. So, fuck off!'
It didn't say anything and left me alone. It always implies me to kill. My eyes became clouded with suspicion. Hmmm, there is some hidden agenda of the system as it always tries to manipulate me. No, it can't go like this. Wiping my mouth with a handkerchief, I put it on the table. Determination crossed my heart, making me fully resolute to find this abnormality of the system.
