Capítulo 9: 008|Kevin: Why do I have to suffer from this?
When the morning came, Kevin sported a massive headache. He does not know if this is the legendary hangover or something as he was never truly drunk his whole life. But he really wants to bang his head to the wall or something.
Though he clearly remembered not drinking before bed. And his other than his throbbing head, he is incomparably satisfied for some reason. Puzzling phenomenon he has only encountered now.
Out of habit he wanted to ask his mother for some medicine or something to ease his pain. But when he opened his eyes, he remembered he is currently not in his reality. That he is in a world that may kill him.
"System. What happened to me?" Kevin said as he rubbed his temple.
[Forgive me host. I also have no idea what happened.]
[Though the only thing I could guarantee was that Kathrine Blake was here last night.]
Kevin felt his hair rise up from its tips. His body reacted quite strangely too. Shivering for some reasons he can only describe as both excitement and fear.
"What the hell happened last night?" Kevin could only question himself once again as he stood up to examine the dorm room he was in. But strangely there was nothing off about it.
"Why don't you know about what happened last night?" Kevin asked once again as he made the system at least take the pain away. He is now thinking quite rationally now.
[…]
[The moment she appeared I was forcefully shut down. I wanted to wake you up, but due to the suddenness of the situation I was not able to do any repercussions at all.]
"In other stories a system is almost a cheat like object. But the one I got brought me this situation. Can I ask for a refund." Kevin snarked.
[You're mean.]
[In accordance to our codes, no matter how long we are 'born' we are not even considered an embryo in our life stages. Only after we get a host do we start to develop into what our setting is. Although it sounds like an excuse, I am not really powerful enough to do much for you for now.]
[I also admit my fault in this. If I did not hastily activate the newbie package, perhaps things will be a little better.]
[But according to you humans, there is no use to cry over spilled milk. Let's just try our best to survive in this dilemma.]
"You're quite eloquent for something that is not even a few weeks old." Kevin was feeling a little complicated over the system's speech. Thinking that he is being too rash over his attitude to this little 'toddler'.
"Let's get past that for now. I want to know the details of why I am sent in this time period. Obviously from the dates I remember, this is the old school that was closed down. The first room I was in was obviously some decades after the closure" Kevin said as he has no one else to rely on other than this system of his.
[Didn't you say you don't want to hear about it until you return to reality?]
"Forget that. This is important." Kevin did not change his face as he took back his words like a hooligan.
[Shameless]
[But since this is important as you say it. I will tell you about it.]
[You are sent back in time to change some things in the past. Make the origin of the horrors to be less extreme and try to learn more things that lead to the horrible tragedies in the future.]
[But from the looks of it. Even if we did not do something like this things will still end up like this.]
[That girl is crazy in more ways than one.]
[You personally saw that during the times you had been helping her stabilize her mental state subtly.]
"....yeah I did not expect her to actually really summon whatever she has summoned." Kevin said as he has a slightest feeling that something has happened to him after his sleep. "Say what did he summon?"
[A devil of the highest rank.]
"Now that is quite understandable for her curse to last for so long and for very effective." Kevin said as he prepared for another class in this world.
From the lore and stories he read and heard, devils are quite loyal to their contracts. He did not know the details that were shared between the girl and the devil, but he knew that it can really continue for so long as long as the conditions for the curse are met. For all he knew, the timeline he first was in has met the conditions that's why the tragedy was about to repeat when the players came over.
He then continues to chat with the system as the day goes on. He has put aside his irrational annoyance and was willing to make the best of the situation. Once in a while checking this world in rather critical eyes.
Only then he got more understanding of this world. According to the system without breaking any of its codes, this place is based on an extremity from reality. So most things are still the same as he knew, only that this world is darker and more supernatural.
Perhaps the only thing that really scared Kevin was the gaze he perceived from Kathrine. He does not know why, but the girl's eyes were a little strange. It was like a predator seizing up their prey before attacking.
He wanted to run or something. But as strange as when he woke up, he was strangely attracted to the girl. His body is more or less inclined to be nearer to her.
This frightens him more than anything. He knows that there will be deaths on the month next. He really doesn't want to be one of those dead people. Being near and close to her is not safe at all.
Did he mention that the first people who died were the ones closest to her? If he did not then you heard that right. Anyone who she somehow shows some favors dies faster than her bullies did. Someone help him out and make him leave this place!
So he made some distance from the girl as much as possible. And from the mission that his system has for him, he started to proactively look for a girlfriend. Although he was a little indignant at this method, he had no choice. He does not like to stay here any longer than he should.
As he was being busy with this undertaking, he once or twice criticized his system for his misleading name. It is obviously a scum system that specializes in playing with girl's feelings. It was no way something a good guy does.
[Host: I am a growing system. I read that a good guy should know how to please girls in all aspects they should. You are quite blessed in the appearance department, so we only need to spend some efforts to refine it. But your confidence with girls is just too lacking.]
"Which way am I lacking?" Kevin was angry at the evaluation. "Are you blind with how many friends I have that are girls? How am I lacking in courage with them when there were lots of them around me.?"
[...]
[Let me rephrase that.]
[You lack the intent to actually form a romantic relationship with someone.]
"Bullshit! If I am, why do you think I was desperate enough to be hoodwinked with you? If I lack the intent I would not be momentarily tempted to consider pressing the No button before." Kevin ranted. "Wait, I rejected it even then. So the hell I still get bound to you?"
[…]
[This system refuses to answer.]
[For what you're lacking we'll tackle that when we reach that bridge. At the moment, let's pick a girl who shall be your girlfriend.]
"Fine, we'll not talk about it." Saying that the matter was temporarily closed. But it was still subject for another review in the future.
[Do you have a candidate in mind.]
"...right. I think the class monitor is a good girl." Kevin said. "She is not the most attractive girl, but she is a smart and stable person. She is considerate too, so the two of us might just fit well enough. And most of all we are on good terms."
The system agreed with his evaluation with the girl. It was even like a mother-in-law to her soon-to-be daughter-in-law. Much to his amusement to the whole situation.
So the next few days, Kevin was doing his best to brush his existence in the eyes of the class monitor. He did all sorts of things in the book to court the girl. And to say he was very open about his attempts that they became quite a famous couple in the eyes of many students.
And of course. This is only in most students' eyes. A Certain bullied student was definitely not liking what she hears and sees. So much under her bangs, her eyes were purple in rage and jealousy.

MyNameIsTaken
MyNameIsTaken The events of the night before was erased in Kevin's mind. And there was suppose to be another chapter before this that is a continuation of the sex scene of the last chapter. This chapter and the reason of why it was erased was interconnected. It was quite boring to easily cut down a reason for potential bloodbath, so I ended up modifying my plans. In my opinion a yandere without murder is not a qualified yandere....at least on fictions.
Have some idea about my story? Comment it and let me know.
