บท 15: Vision 4 - Scammed (4)
Just before the door was opened, I was watching as the big guy was lowering his foot towards the lady's head.
I did not want to care who lives or dies.
I was trying to convince myself that it was best to let things go on. That way I will be certain about the future. If I create variables, they will create problems for me in the future.
It was for the best. Once again, I tried to convince myself.

[ The Nubecula 'Who Like Cigars And Candy' is holding his breath. ]
[ The Nubecula 'Whose Heart Bleeds For Heartbroken' has a concerned look. ]
[ The Nubecula 'Kafzeil' is smilling. ]
[ The Nubecula 'Razel' is observing you. ]
[ The Nubecula 'Yael' is observing you. ]
[ The Nubecula 'Belzeebub' is curious about your choice. ]
+
The Nubeculas were also watching. I didn't care, but then Why I am conflicted? If I really believed in my thoughts. Then why does the time seems to slow down?
I could see the foot of the big man lowering in slow motion. I could see the teenage girl's desperate face. I could see the regret in the determined look on that mother's face.
The words just came out of my mouth on their own.
" Share 'strength' and 'agility'. "
It was like Persephone already knew my thoughts. As soon as words came out of my mouth, I got the notifications.
+
[ The Benefit of the Soul Contract has been used. ]
[ The high existence 'Persephone' has shared her stats with the lower existence Arthur. ]
[ The strength and agility stats have been shared. ]
[ Strength Lvl.4 -> Strength Lvl.54 ]
[ Agility Lvl.4 -> Agility Lvl.57 ]
+
It was a huge increase in stats. For a second, It made me wonder what exactly are Persephone's stats? I am sure it is much higher than what I got.
+
[ Your body is not suitable for such a huge increase in stats. A time limit is been set. ]
[ Time Limit: 10 minutes ]
+
Of course, there is a time limit. Actually, I was feeling pretty stressed right now. It was like my muscles will explode if I took a single step.
At this moment I got another message.
[ The Exclusive Skill, 'False Awakening' has reduced the strain on your body. ]
My exclusive skill took effect and I felt much better. I took a step and moved at a superhuman speed.
I first reached in front of the mature lady. The foot of the big guy was an inch above her head, I dragged her from under the foot that was closing in. She seemed to notice me, I could see her eyes fixed on me which were shaking at this moment. Her agility was really her strongest stat.
I smirked at her and then lifted her over my shoulder. Then I moved toward her daughter and lifted her on another side of my shoulder.
[ The Active skill, 'Flight Lvl.9' has been shared. ]
[ The Skill level has exceeded beyond your limit. ]
[ The effect of Active Skill, 'Flight' has been greatly reduced. ]
[ The Active Skill, 'Flight Lvl.1' is activated. ]
I used the flight skill and then with all the agility stat I flew out from the window I came in. In an instant, I was at the forest tree near the shed. It wasn't very far, I could still see inside the shed through the window.
I put the mother-daughter pair on the ground with their back on the tree trunk, and then I canceled all the skills. As soon as I did that, a sudden fatigue came rushing into me. I lost all the strength in my legs and fell to the ground.
Argg...
I also took the support of the tree trunk and sat straight on the ground. Then messages started coming into my eyes.
[ The Nubecula 'Kafzeil' is satisfied with your action. ]
[ The Nubecula 'Kafzeil' Comments " Marvelous. ". ]
[ 2000 points are donated ]
2000 points? He is being extremely generous.
[ The Nubecula 'Who Like Cigars And Candy' Comments " I do not like your heroic cliche. " ]
[ 1000 points are donated ]
Why this guy is being a tsundere? I am being watched by weird Nubeculas.
[ The Nubecula 'Whose Heart Bleeds For Heartbroken' is proud of your action. ]
[ 1000 points are donated ]
They are giving me too many points. What is going on? this isn't normal.
[ The Nubecula 'Razel' likes your dramatic exit. ]
[ 100 points are donated ]
Finally, someone normal showed up. 100 points weren't too much.
[ The Nubecula 'Yael' is observing you. ]
[ The Nubecula 'Belzeebub' is observing you. ]
[ The Nubecula 'Gumiho' is watching you with shining eyes. ]
Multiple messages appeared in front of me. As soon as I got the last notification, I felt like the ground slipped from under me.
uhhhhh...
A groan escaped my mouth. I was still feeling sore because of the fatigue, for some reason 'false awakening' didn't activate to ease the fatigue this time.
" Are you alright? "
A sweet, thin voice got my attention. It was the teenage girl who I saved, She was concerned. Well, she should be, My body was aching, but I didn't have time to think about it.
I again check the notification, and it was still the same. It really was 'Gumiho'. I felt like my days of peace were flying away from me.
Gumiho is the Korean name for the nine-tailed fox which was famous in Japanese mythology. According to legend, if a fox lives past a thousand years, it becomes a spirit capable of taking on different forms, with its favorite form being a young, beautiful woman.
It might sound good that someone like her is taking interest in me, but in ' Milky-Way Revelation ' Gumiho was famous for spreading rumors. She is cunning as the legends say. So someone like her taking interest in me was not good. But all I could do was shed some crocodile tears.
" Hey, why are you crying? are you that hurt? "
I looked at the girl again. She had a concerned look on her face, She took my tears seriously.
" Yes. I am hurt, and I feel tired. "
I blankly told her without any form of denial. Her expression became filled with even more concern.
" What are you talking about? You should just feel a little tired after over-exerting your body. "
The Astral-Persephone looked at me like she did not fully believe me. I just ignored her, it's not like I could talk to her with all these Nubeculas watching, and who knows what Gumiho will do.
" Then why did you save us? You weren't obligated to it. "
The voice this time had a mature charm. It came from the mother of the girl. She was leaning on the trunk with her head down. I try to stand up and walked toward her.
I had some difficulty since my leg was still a little numb. The girl try to support me, but I just raised my hand and I walked toward the mature woman.
" What is the problem? In the end, everyone came out alive. "
Hearing my calm statement the mother looked at me. Since her head was down I didn't see it before, but there were tears in her eyes and they were genuine.
What is this?
She looked pitiful, I had an urged to hug her but I didn't. Now, that I looked at both of the ladies.
The teenage girl had an innocent look which made her look cute and the mature woman had an hourglass figure but not too exaggerating, she also looked really beautiful, but they still couldn't compare to Persephone. I don't think anyone could compete with Persephone.
Both of their clothes were dirty because of the battle. They were wearing normal white clothes under light leather armor. They were agility-type fighters through and through.
Points in this world are not that accessible, either you get them from Nubeculas or you can get it from the hidden and Miscellaneous scripts. All of those are very hard to find, so people invest points in one characteristic to become professional at it.
The mother looked into my eyes and spoke.
" You are weird. "
" Maybe I am. "
I shrugged my shoulders. Maybe I really am weird, I didn't want to save them at first and then I did the exact opposite thing I thought I should do.
" Are you really alright? let me check if you have any injuries. "
The teenage girl asked the same question again. It seem she felt like she should at least check my injuries since I saved them.
I looked at her, but then my vision went past her, inside the shed through the window. A man in military uniform was talking to the big guy in the middle of the arena. Then the referee came running and the military man started talking to him.
As I watched the military officer talking to the people inside the arena, the message flashed in front of my eyes.
[ Your mentality is greatly shaken. ]
[ The exclusive skill 'False Awakening' is activated. ]
[ A New skill is being germinated. ]
[ The Active Skill 'Prescient description ' is activated. ]

Description: The Person has an immense sense of justice. The existence is ambitious and prideful. He wants to make the world a better place and reach a higher ranking. Currently searching for someone important. ]
I was happy to get a very useful skill, but as soon as I read the description of the person in the military uniform I realized something.
Timothy Sullivan, I recognized him. He might not look like much, well compare to me he looks like a god. Strength 81, if it was a normal world he could lift a building with no problem.
Anyway, he is an important existence for the future. On his blessing, I could see that he has one Nubecula who is interested to bless him.
If I remember correctly. After he becomes an even higher rank military officer and raises his position, his Sense of Justice attribute reaches the level where a Nubecula decides to bless him.
He will also be very useful when an overload of dark matter occurs. There will be various 'scripts' in the future where his skills will be useful.
There is just one problem. The guy is really a justice freak and a hypocrite. If you are standing in front of your enemy with a gun in your hand, He is someone who will be telling you how Nobel it is to spare that person.
I really do not want to deal with someone like him.
' mhmm... no way... no how... I will just avoid him. '
He also has a trust issue, even bigger than mine. He thinks everyone else is a criminal, as I said, Hypocrite.
As I was going through this in my head, I thought that I am familiar with the scenario of Timothy.
[ You recognize the scenario, your perception has increased. ]
My perception increased and a scene from my dreams went through my head.
<...The Officer then walked around the shed to inspect the people present there. He quickly glanced over everyone present there in one motion...>
<...He was about to turn around to walk away when he heard a voice.
" Hey, You Big guy. "
The voice was of the referee of the arena who watches over the matches...
...You came and... the mother-daughter pair disappeared. >
<... The officer searched the area around the outside of the shed. He found A mature woman and teenage girl sitting beside the window of the shed...>
<...The officer approached them, the girl flinched a little but the woman was just had a confused look.
" Hello, little girl. I am officer Timothy Sullivan." ...>
I recalled the scene. I turned my head around and used the new skill I got on the mother-daughter pair.
