Chapter 25 Stigma Of Darkness



The moon has turned into the sun, while the night has turned into the morning.

Since last night, Willa has always clung to me. She always took care of me in a way that was too much. Even though I had told her that I was fine, she still insisted.

She always feeds me when I'm going to eat. Even when I refused, she would immediately put the food in my mouth. She also helped me when I changed, if I refused, she would hide my only change of clothes.

"BROTHERS, WHERE ARE YOU?"

I could hear her scream as she called me from inside the mansion.

Running away from Willa, I was currently in the mansion's backyard. It's a pretty big park too. There are some trees planted here, so I have a place to hide.

Of course, I'm not only hiding but also doing some things.

Placing my hands on a tree branch, I pulled myself up and down. I did pull-ups a few times, then sit-ups, push-ups, and so on. I also carried a wooden sword and practiced slashing trees several times.

After warming up, I did a test. I wanted to test the World System's ability to create skills.

Will everything I do be converted into skills? Or are there separate criteria?

Having said that, I held the sword in my hand with more concentration. I also activated the Mana inside me.

There was an ability that I wanted to try out.

And the result...

Slash!

I swung the sword in my hand to cut through the tree trunk in front of me.

However, the result was not what I expected.

'It's not that easy, huh.'

I kept repeating the test, but I stopped when I felt what was known as a muscle cramp.

"Ugh!"

'This body is indeed very weak.'

Even so, I kept moving my body to another training session.

This has been my habit since my previous life. I can't neglect training even if I don't get kicked out of the Warwick family.

While continuing to move my muscles, I began to ponder. My brain started to think of a few things.

I suddenly remembered what Clarista had told me about the reason why Jullian had come here. She said that Jullian got the Oracle from the God of Light, aka the God Apollo.

Then, why did the God of Light give him the Oracle to propose to Willa? Was there something special about Willa? I can only shrug because I don't know the right answer.

In the Demon Lord and the Hero of Light novels, if I remember correctly, it was rare for the God of Light to give Jullian an Oracle.

Granted, there are occasions where the God of Light gives Oracles, however, almost all of the Oracles given will have a connection with the demon.

Then, does Willa have a relationship with the demon? 'There's no way Willa has a relationship with a demon.' That is the only certain thing.

Regardless of the reason for Jullian's visit, there is one point that worries me the most.

Butterfly Effect.

A flutter of a butterfly's wings could cause a hurricane elsewhere.

If Jullian's arrival here was the flutter of a butterfly's wings, would things change in the future from now on too? If so, I should also be quicker in doing some of the things I need to do.

I started thinking about the main female character in the novel Demon Lord and the Hero of Light. A figure who will always accompany Jullian in the future.

'Looks like I'll have to meet her and prevent Jullian from getting her.'

I feel that my journey to be able to live in peace is still far away. I still have too many things to do.

"Haa~ fuuhh~"

Air goes in and out of my nose. I've finished a running session around this park. Sweat dripped from my pores and wet the clothes I was wearing.

Wiping my forehead with the back of my hand, suddenly my eyes saw a system message that came without an invitation.

[The reward that was delayed will now be given to you.]

Rewards that were delayed? Do I have something like that?

Didn't I receive the reward that I should have received for completing the quest against Jullian already?

At first, I was confused, but I managed to remember it later after I thought for a while.

"Hmm?"

If I'm not mistaken, after the death from being slashed by Jullian and I opened my eyes to this world for the second time, I did get a system message that I would get a reward.

[Rewards for completing the novels of the Demon Lord and Hero of Light will be awarded after thorough calculations. Please wait!]

As I recall, that's the kind of system message that popped up when I just had a regression.

[Congratulations! Since you have lived up to the Epilogue in your previous life called The Tutorial, you will now receive the appropriate reward.]

My vision immediately blurred when I saw the system message. My eyes opened slightly in surprise, until a moment later, my face calmed down again with a lot of effort.

The first thing I noticed was, not the notification that I had received the reward, but a word or term used by the World System that most caught my attention.

'Tutorials. …. What an inappropriate term.' I'm at a loss for words because of the terms used by the World System.

'If my previous 11 years of life were just a tutorial, is the current timeline the real game?'

I firmly denied that the experience I had in my previous life was just a Tutorial.

The despair, the crying tears, and the screams I let out while I was going through various kinds of suffering in my previous life were real.

However, perhaps it was just 'your suffering' when others saw it. But for me, the experience of suffering I had was the foundation I had to keep moving forward.

But it's useless if I dispute the terms that the World System has. It's better to ignore that and focus on the rewards that the World System gives.

[Congratulations! You have received the Memorize skill as the first reward!]

[Skill Name: Memorize

Description: You will recall the memories you have forgotten when the Memorize skill is active. However, there must be a trigger to activate this skill. The memories that appear will be adjusted according to the trigger.]

Hmm. The skill was quite useful.

Before I finished analyzing the description of the Memorize skill, another system message visited again.

[The system has calculated all your Misfortune Points. That sum is accumulated from all the misfortunes you've had.]

My face began to show symptoms of extreme confusion. After all, what is the point of misfortune? Did the World System calculate the various misfortunes I had in my previous life?

[According to the law of karma, after calculating all your misfortune points, you are entitled to an additional reward.]

[Congratulations! You have received the Stigma of Darkness!]

[The transfer of the Stigma of Darkness is about to happen!]

[Go to a calm and quiet place. Make sure you don't bite your tongue because the process will be very painful.]

As per what the system message said, the pain came shockingly. The pain came from the back of my left hand.

"Kuh!"

I tightly gripped the back of my left hand which felt like it was starting to burn. My face began to turn wrinkled as the pain began to creep through my senses.

As if a huge hurricane had pushed me from behind, my two feet dashed into the mansion as fast as lightning. Luckily, on the way to my bedroom, I didn't find Willa.

Then I locked the door to protect my privacy from someone who might come and break in.

It didn't take long for the pain that emerged from my hand to spread throughout my body. The pain was like when someone stuck hot iron into someone's skin.

It was because I had experienced it when I was kidnapped by the Black Box Organization, that I was able to make an accurate picture of the pain I was feeling.

Sometime later, the pain I feel becomes like when my inner body burns little by little. Most people say death from burning is the most painful death.

"Hnngggg!!"

As the pain burned through my blood, intestines, nerves, and flesh, I groaned in despair. Sweat dripped profusely until it pooled like the ocean.

Due to the excessive pain, I inadvertently started to push the table away, throw flower vases, kick chairs, and ruffle my mattress.

Break! Clang!

The sound of various pieces of furniture falling against the floor and walls began to be heard. Various pieces of furniture were scattered everywhere.

"Rrgghhh!"

Until finally I put the cloth that I rolled into a ball shape into my mouth so I wouldn't accidentally bite my tongue.

My body jumps onto the bed. On the bed, I continued to struggle. My hands kept hitting my bed until I thought my bed was going to collapse.

I feel like I want to faint. However, the system message that came next surprised me.

[You must not faint. If you lose consciousness, you may lose your life.]

It was the system message that made me try not to lose consciousness.

Finally, hope amid despair came and smiled at me.

[The World System has detected that your body will not be able to accept the Stigma of Darkness.]

[Starting the handling step. Subsequent rewards will be immediately awarded for troubleshooting.]

[You received the Body Reconstruction.]
