章節 5: How to bullshit out of the bad situation 101
Dorian gazed at the terrified girl before continuing his conversation with the System.
"Should I maybe try to strangle her?"
"Hmpfffff!"
In her distress, Sara made a feeble attempt to yell but was unsuccessful. On the other hand, Dorian showed no emotion and stared at the girl. The System went into a panic when it realised that Dorian had the potential to murder her. She had apprehensions about Dorian due to her perception that he was highly erratic.
[NO! You aspire to have a heroic life, don't you? You need to stop acting like a psychopath!]
"So tell me, what would you recommend that I do?"
Dorian's behaviour of muttering to himself left Sara feeling much more frightened than she already was. However, she detected a familiar change in Dorian's eyes as she hummed the song, and because of this, she decided to give it another shot. She began humming the same tune over and over again.
[Why is she acting this way?]
Sara's strange behaviour threw the System for a loop, but it also picked up Dorian's feelings, becoming more positive. As a result, the System decided to look for a means to escape this situation.
The System delved into the folklore and the mythology to see if there was anything there that may provide a satisfactory explanation for Dorian's actions. An ancient legend tells the story of a hero who merged his soul with god to defeat the evil king of demons. The fusion entirely altered his personality, and he even gained some of the god's wisdom in the process. Dorian received this information from the System, and the two of them continued their discussion inside his head.
[This will work, nobles only share this legend among members of the nobility; hence, the original Dorian should not even be aware of this.]
"But isn't this more or less what ended up happening in real life?"
[What exactly are you trying to say, Dorian?]
"I was fused with you, Corrupted god's creation system. You also altered my personality, as I never had murderous intentions before."
[That's bullshit, and you know it!]
"I was so pure, and I couldn't even kill a fly!"
[…]
After the talk with the System, he knew the only way out was to fake his way out. He looked away from Sara and said.
"Sorry, Sara, I wasn't feeling like myself."
"HUMPFF"
[Atleast stop choking her, you idiot!]
"Oh yeah, Sara. If I released your mouth, do you promise not to shout?"
Dorian asked with a gentle voice while picking up a knife off the table. Dorian's pulse was pounding extremely fast due to the fact that he did not wish to murder her, but he intended to do so if it turned out to be necessary. Sara saw him picking up a knife and felt like her soul was leaving the body. She quickly nodded in answer.
"Good girl. I can explain everything. But keep your voice low. Do you understand me, Sara?"
She nodded again, and Dorian let her go. She was looking around for a way to run, but she knew that Dorian might kill her if she tried. So instead, she stood still and asked many questions.
"Who are you? What do you want? Are you going to kill me?"
"Maybe, one question at the time?"
Sara gulped and nodded once more. She asked the most crucial question.
"Are you going to kill me?"
"No, unless you force me."
Dorian told her in a low voice. He remembered the manners of a god he met before his reincarnation and repeated them. He bowed nobly and introduced himself.
"I am indeed Dorian. However, I am also the reincarnation of a god. I was a nameless god, and my title was a god of light."
She swallowed the saliva quickly and maintained her composure as she waited for Dorian to provide further clarification. On the other hand, Dorian was experiencing such intense embarrassment that he wanted to bash his head against the wall. Sara's silence was making Dorian cringe even more.
[Seriously? This situation is when you feel embarrassed?]
Dorian continued to stare at Sara, but inside he was shouting and cursing at the System. Sara heard of the legend and believed that this was possible. However, she couldn't understand why he didn't just tell her what had happened, why he was so scary and violent. And who was he talking to before?
"So you're still Dorian?"
"Yes, the fusion erased my memories. However, instead of those memories, I gained the ability to read, enhance my strength, and even use magic."
"You're Dorian…"
Sara continued to look at Dorian, and she seemed to finally lost it. She began crying and jumped into Dorian's arms. Both the System and were confused by this predicament.
[What…]
"the…"
[Fuck?!]
After Sara hugged Dorian, he felt highly startled. He shyly wrapped his arms around her and patted her head.
[What the fuck is this bitch doing?!]
The System seemed to be extremely angry. She wanted to electrocute Dorian while Sara hugged him and took them both out. However, seeing that the situation was quite dire just a moment ago, the System relaxed and decided not to get involved. If something happened to Sara, this whole thing would have been for nothing.
[Geez, Dorian's stupidity is contagious.]
The System thought to herself after realising that she almost acted as impulsively as Dorian. However, she was still suspicious of Sara.
Meanwhile, Dorian started to daydream and began thinking about his gluttony skill. He wondered if his taste receptors were still working and what would happen if he overate. But his daydream was chased away by a pinch in his cheek. When Sara realised that Dorian was not paying attention to what was happening around him, she gave him a pinch.
"Humpf! Airhead!~"
Sara buried her face in Dorian's chest and giggled. Dorian seemed confused, but he realised this was way better than the previous life or death situation.
However, the System
[Huh?! Only I can call him that, you bitch!]
