“I will surely pay you for what I eat. Sorry for so much bother”After finishing eating the food, Clark paid the bills.“Don’t bother, payment for the wipes”Laughing a little, Yin looks at Clark.“Ah, I want to ask. Do you know Marchen Vienno? “Surprised since Clark did not answer right away, she shyly chuckled.“Sorry, I thought you know him since he also wears the same uniform as you”“Is he your lover?”“I am not sure if I can call it that way”“Then ask him”Drinking the last water on his cup, he continued his words as Yin was surprised with his answer. “Yin, I am sorry but I don’t have contact with… Marchen”Nodding her head, she mumbled. “But maybe you see him before? He is tall, has a brown hair, kind… and”‘Why did I think of that kiddo staring at me back then? Is she referring to that guy? Maybe she asked my help thinking I am a friend of her lover… I know where he is. Shall I drop her there? But… it was dangerous in that place. Shall I bring that guy out then? But I don’t h
“Huh? That car…” Andrel mumbled as he look at the view in the back. “So you also noticed” Even Yin was curious and looked at what they were talking about. “Um… Geoff… what are you doing?” Holding some darts in his hand, it was those he haven’t used since he lost his good throw. Luckily he was able to use the things he had with him other than the soldier’s clothes itself. Since it was stinky as shit. “Nothing much…” A smirk then crept on his lips as he open the window. ‘I did lose my good throw. But does dropping count as a throw?’ Calculating the distance of their car and the one following them, they are catching up. Just as what Clark thought they would do. ‘There is it’ “Andrel, on our next turn, change lane and head to the right. We just have a short time to to brush them off” Nodding his head, Andrel had a smirk on his face. Yin on the other hand was left speechless in what was happening. ‘Will we be all right? It was because of me… if something happened to us… it is I
Clark POV Where did I go wrong? Is it how I was so certain that the out break would take time before it spread? Or the fact that I knew what will happen and yet I was slow in doing things? But no… it wasn’t my fault to begin with! Or is it? Who asks to be trapped in the trial for three days like that? and… what the hell is with this system restriction that I just woke up having? No… why am I even arguing like this. It happened… and there is nothing else to do to turn back time and change it. It is not as if the system would let me be… “Geoff… what should we do now?” If there is someone I should blame for what is happening right now is me. Since I didn’t prepare much for a situation like this. Since I didn’t think of things through… I should have known more than anyone else.. I should have known that but… “We need to stop those doctors from entering the dungeon. We must lessen the number of people infected” Shaking my head… is that the only thing I can do? “I will order them rig
They say that when you are forced into a difficult situation, there are three things you can do. First is to run away, whether you give up on it or whether you are planning an act of revenge. The second is to do nothing and wait for your end. If you ever think that either you survive, it will still be hell which awaits you. And the third and last, which I always do the most, is to fight will all your might. Even if there is just a slim hope that you might succeed. Fight… for you do not wish to be a coward and run away, fight… for you know for yourself that waiting wont change anything. “If they would push you to hell, you just need to make sure to bring them with you” Muttering to myself, am I brave or am I a fool? Honestly, I can't even tell. I have no system right now, due to my own shortcomings. I even lose my good throw for the sake of my skill Stealth. But even so, I still have my memories… my experience when I was pushed to go to the end of the world. I still have me… an
“This… didn’t we minimize the attacks?” Holding his head, Clark can’t believe how the container they created received such a heavy blow. ‘It was great we put layers to it. But to think it would be damaged like this… is it when that bastard…’ Shaking his head, no matter how much he would try to know when this container gets this much damage, he was certain it would give him no benefits at all. The damage has been made. All they just need to do is fix it and by thinking about when did that happen, it would surely not fix that container. ‘If only I have that low grade vision lens… then I could see how far this miasma covered the air- wait… the air…’ Looking at his hand, he then realized something. “That is right… air” “Air? What are you talking about? Geoff?” With Krain asking him that question, he did not even receive an answer as Clark was busy enough in thinking how he could possibly use that skill he gained. ‘It was luck… why I gained this skill. But still… isn’t it… also a f
“Oh, if it isn’t Claret. My dear…” With her eyes rolling to one side as soon as she saw the sight of the only sister her dear husband had, Claret was about to take her leave. The night was dark and soon it will turn darker. Yet the wife of Henry doesn’t seem to bother finding her son this late at night. But for Margarett to be in front of their mansion, Claret could not help but know that her dear sister-in-law had something up her sleeves. ‘To even take her car all the way here. Just what is she trying to do?’ “Where are you going? Did your dear son go back home already?” “I have no time for your childish talk, Margarett” Staring at Claret who just said those words, Margarett soon let out a laugh. “Pfft, so you are not even denying it. My my, poor niece of mine. Did he see how trash of a person his mother was? To think he would run away from home. Good choice, good choice. I compliment him for that. He have my awe” “Margarett, are you trying to say that I-“ Showing her palm t
“I am doing fine, Grandpa. Sorry for not calling you soon” Talking to his grandfather through phone calls, no matter how much Clark wanted to go and meet him, he knew that it was not possible. The situation is not safe and he is still not certain about the fact that he is harm-free to meet his grandfather. [When will you be back?] “I will visit soon. Did you get bored hanging out with Shanx and the others?” Laughing as he makes a joke, even the old man Holmet laughs at what his grandson has said. But soon a silence part between the lines before Holmet decided to break it. [Clark, I am not sure what you are doing right there. But Clark, be safe… you hear me?] ‘As always, my grandfather is quick to catch up about the situation’ “Yes, Grandpa. I will. Please worry not” [Ha, no matter how much you ask me not to, I will still worry] “I will be safe. Rest assured” [You don’t know what may happen in life, Clark. Always be cautious. Come give me a visit when you finish what you are d
The ride was silent but it was something that Clark wished to have. But the silence was soon disturbed when he heard his name being called. “Clark” Anton then started “Yes? Uncle?” “I heard what happened. To Ashton and Miguel. Thank you for helping them back then” Not knowing what he was pertaining to, Clark thought that maybe it was when he was dragged by Miguel to perform a ‘Harana’ in the house of Laurent’s. “I did not help much, Uncle” “Still, I am thankful for what you did. Thanks to you, my sons seem to be doing much better” There was a small smile on his lips. Somehow, Clark could not help but wonder if all of the Montediore have such fathers as his Uncle Anton and Uncle Julius. ‘But maybe my father is an exemption’ Arriving at the mansion, Clark headed inside as he once again bid farewell to his Uncle Anton. But even if they just sat for a small while, there was something he confirmed. “Thank you for the ride, Uncle. Have a good evening” ‘He smells like a gunpowder’
