章 286: Shattered world

"Who are you?!" the girl shouted in a panic the second she woke up and came to her senses. 

Still lying on the ground, she threw me a quick look, only to push herself away with her legs and feet alike. 

"Calm down," I ordered, not moving an inch from my seat by the fire. "If I wanted to do you any harm, I would've done so already, don't you think?" I added before turning my attention back to the flames. 

Sure, I was eager to interrogate her, but there was no point in doing so when she was in a state of shock. And to be honest, I already learned enough about her to take my time thinking it through. 

'She is speaking a language I can understand... Or is this the system's influence?' I asked myself, annoyed by the potential capabilities of my system in this regard for the first time in this second life of mine. 

"Who are you?" the girl asked again after taking her time to calm her heart down.
