8: True identity

  "W-Why? Why? Why did you do that? Fool! My sister will hate me! Give my pet back! Please!...’’

  The young girl continued to scold in anger until she noticed something — the person she was strangling had become completely motionless, like a soulless corpse.

  "Aahhhh!"

  The young girl screamed loudly in horror, immediately backing away from the lifeless body.

  She had shivered, staring at the corpse from a short distance, then she clutched her head in panic and despair.

  "I-I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to kill you!"

  ‘’I’m sorry.’’

  

  "Mom, save me..."

  …

  As each second passed, the young girl could only mutter the word 'Mom,' as if she were the only person who could save her in a situation like that.

  Of course, that would never happen. Instead, something else occurred.

  From within the large, dirty bushes nearby, a slow movement began. Gradually, the shadowy of a human figure became clearer.

  It was a beautiful girl wearing an outfit similar to the young girl's, yet slightly different in detail.

  At a glance, anyone could tell she was more mature, despite still being rather young. She appeared to be around 15 or 16 years old, about the same age as Hector. Her long blonde ponytail was wrapped around her neck, preventing it from becoming a hindrance.

  However, her eyes were quite unusual—her right eye was amber like the young girl's, while her left eye was pitch brown.

  At this moment, her beautiful expression was filled with concern.

  Yet, as soon as she saw her sister, it didn’t remain that way.

  “Violet!” she immediately shouted and rushed toward her.

  However, after a few seconds, her face gradually twisted in confusion as she stared at Violet’s right eye.

  It was still glowing brightly from that moment.

  “Lingyan? What happened?” She thought.

  Upon hearing the voice, Violet slowly calmed down and glanced around.

  Finally, she identified the source of the voice and wailed loudly, sobbing.

  “C-Cousin! Help him! P-Please!”

  ***

  “Fucking fate! Why do I always die in such a pointless way?”

  “I thought I had a second chance, but I just threw it away.”

  “If only I hadn’t done that… I probably shouldn’t help her.”

  “I was too confident in my knowledge.”

  “Damn it!”

  “In the end, it’s all meaningless. I just want to sleep. Goodbye, everything.”

  A moment later.

  “Wait!... Why is my body so hot? It’s annoying.”

  “What the hell? Can someone turn off the light? It’s too bright.”

  Stolen novel; please report.

  “It’s making it hard to sleep… Damn it! Never mind.”

  “Ugh…”

  Hector gradually opened his eyes, but immediately raised a hand to shield them.

  He grimaced.

  “Too bright!”

  The sunlight was harsh, shining brightly all around him.

  At that moment, a girl’s voice echoed loudly.

  “You’re awake?”

  Hector had tried to struggle as he turned his head toward the source of the sound.

  In front of him was a beautiful girl sitting on a small, protruding piece of sand nearby. She looked similar to Violet, who had managed to kill him, but there were slight differences.

  Yet, he didn’t mind; he was just relieved to know that he had survived, so everything was alright.

  “Thank you for rescuing me from that damn kid.”

  The beautiful girl raised an eyebrow when she heard that. Then, she quietly leaned to the left to look at another girl, sitting beside her, tired and sleeping.

  “You mean this kid?” The beautiful girl slowly smiled and said quietly.

  Instantly, Hector shivered in fear.

  "Certainly, she must also be a bad person. Only like that would her sibling have such a bad mouth.'' Even if Hector thought, He didn’t dare to say. Anyway, these girls were members of a big clan, so he only asked slowly.

  ‘’So, what do you want with me?’’

  It was clear that he did some bad things with Violet, so this beautiful girl was saved for some reason.

  Hector gradually grimaced and clenched his hand tightly in anger.

  "My mistake was helping that kid. No matter what happens, I couldn’t have imagined that the monster was her pet."

  "Basically, only a crazy person would bring something like that.’’

  ‘’And this world was created by a madman."

  "I have already ignored that matter."

  When the beautiful girl looked at Hector’s emotions, she quietly sighed.

  ‘I’m sorry about that… so I’ll lead you to the arena where the challenge will happen.’

  As soon as Hector heard that, his expression immediately froze, and he gulped in surprise.

  ‘L-Lady! Thank you very much!"

  "Even if he had dreamed the most impossible things, he couldn’t believe he would arrive at that place so easily.

  His whole effort was completely worth it, although he had almost died.

  By that time, he would certainly have the chance to use all the novel’s knowledge.

  While Hector still smiled to himself, the beautiful girl began to stand up and slowly flicked Violet’s forehead with some of anger.

  ‘’Aaah!’’ Violet instantly woke up and hugged her head in light pain

  ‘’Sleep enough… We will go soon.’’

  She was seemingly sullen and painful, yet she still nodded obediently.

  "Sure..."

  Hector also nodded as he observed the situation. Clearly, he found it amusing.

  "Yup, Lady, you're absolutely right!"

  Then he glanced at Violet, who didn’t dare to lift her head, like a son cursed by her mother.

  A few seconds passed. Suddenly, Hector felt a short, slow pain in his neck.

  "Hmm..." Hector lightly touched his neck, then almost shuddered from the pain. The red mark on his neck still remained, reminding him how Violet’s grip had been like hell.

  Her strength was truly incredible.

  By now, he recalled the source of her terrifying power.

  It was her right amber eye, also known as Lingyan, an awesome eye, that had the ability to increase the user's power.

  It was the eye he wanted to possess, not the useless one he had.

  Yet, there was a strange point —her age was rather young to have activated it.

  She clearly had massive potential, and someone like her, he should have recognized, but he couldn’t do it.

  The most was the lunatic's novel, which was written so poorly. From the shit words in that novel that he could understand, it was already a miraculous thing.

  So, He needed to ask their name. Yet, if he asked directly, it might be suspected.

  Of course, it was the only thing that would happen.

  …

  A lot of hours passed.

  They finally left the oasis a long distance, it was at least about 10 kilometers. At that time, He already had a couple of conversations with them.

  After all, he knew their name. In contrast to his first thoughts, this blonde-haired girl, Wade Pauley, was rather friendly, calm, and kind. Yet, she was a bit weird.

  ‘’ A coin always has two surfaces, so I only do like that.’’

  Or many other proverbs.

  It really made him so tired that he didn’t want to talk to her anymore. Not only that, her cousin didn’t say to him about anything since he woke up after she tried to kill him, but it had already completely failed.

  She only gave him a slow glare in anger as if she were ready to kill him again anytime if her cousin wasn’t there.

  It was easy to understand. Basically, he killed her pet and even cooked it for her to eat. It was really horrifying with a young girl like that.

  Luckily for him, Wade stayed here. She certainly did something to help her cousin recover from that shock while he was clinically dead.

  After all that had happened, he had finally achieved his target. It was the information about both of them, yet it truly left him feeling stupefied.

  Wade Pauley was one of the main characters. She was destined to become a powerful figure in the future.

  Despite only using an enhanced coin, the combination of various factors made her abilities overwhelming.

  First, her coin was almost like a low-level version of a legendary coin, making it significantly stronger than a common enhanced coin.

  Second, according to his memory, she had already activated the full potential of that coin during her first challenge.

  It was utterly insane, and he desperately wanted to know how she had done it so effortlessly.

  If he followed her, he could ensure his safety. Yet, everything had two sides—just like a coin.

  Expect the above thing. There was one thing that made him a bit confused.

  Wade’s personality was rather different from what he had already read. He had expected that she was a quiet and cold girl, not a talkative one.

  And in the end, Violet.

  He didn’t know anything about her.

  That thing was ridiculous.
