Chapter 152: Victor''s Dilemma (2)
Lost in thought, Victor stared nkly at the ceiling.
Soengrossed that hedidntnotice the tapping at his window.
Thump-thump-thump-
Huh?
Hearing the noise btedly, Victor looked at the window and was startled.
ck Scythe?
Following the gesture toe out, he hurried outside and there indeed was ck Scythe standing.
Hello. What brings you to our home Oh! Perhaps you need a potion
As he fumbled through his inventory, ck Scythe shook his head with his mask on.
No. I have something to tell you.
Something to tell? Not about KF, I hope
Dont worry about KF. Its already taken care of. Youll hear good news through the media tomorrow.
Oh, thats a relief. Then the message is
Victor Zaphiel.
ck Scythe captured the mood with a serious tone.
Dont give up.
Pardon? I didnt catch that?
Dont give up on life.
I know what you went through with KF. You must have endured terrible suffering. But.
Pausing for a moment, Ryu Min looked around the house and continued.
Dont you have a family to protect?
I dont know why youre saying this all of a sudden but theres no problem with my family. My sister too, theyre living just fine without me. Ive achieved my purpose, and now I have no regrets
Thats arrogant.
Pardon?
Achieved your purpose? Do you think life is a simple game that ends once you clear a mission?
Life is a game that doesnt end until you die. Like the survival game were ying. It doesnt end until you eitherplete the 20th round or die. You have to keep moving until then. And you say youre done because you met a small goal? That you have no more regrets? How lightly do you take life to say such things? Isnt that the height of arrogance?
Victor just listened silently.
There was nothing incorrect about those words.
Dont give up on life. If you give up the survival game, what do you think will happen to the family that remains?
Who knows. They might live just fine without me
Do you really think your family was fine without knowing whether you were dead or alive? Dont you think they spent every day waiting anxiously at the door, wondering when you would return?
They could bear it because they had the hope and expectation that you, Victor, could return. If you die in the next round, that hope is gone. What about your family then? Can they live normally?
Sensing it was time to conclude, Ryu Min drove the point home.
Victor. You just want to rest. After a year of hardship, you now want to rest in peace through death.
The impact hit Victor like a hammer.
I understand. But thats not the way to look out for your family. In fact, its the exact opposite. Its a selfish decision that only serves yourself.
I hope you keep fighting until the 20th round. Your sister, Sophia. You know shes a famous ranker in Nigeria. But do you really think she can make it through 20 rounds without you?
Seeing Victors heart waver like a leaf, Ryu Min believed the persuasion was nearlyplete.
Protect Sophia. As an Alchemist, a ss specialized in support, youre unique in this world. If youre with her, she wont drop out before the 20th round. Ill help you with missions if I can. Lets call it fate. So, survive.
Thank you for your words, but Im not sure if someone like me can protect her
You can. Let me show you this as proof.
Ryu Min pulled an item from his inventory.
Victor was shocked to see the item information.
A legendary item, a Life Potion, capable of reviving dead yers.
I obtained this item by chance. It means you can protect Sophia if you use this. It says an Alchemist can make any potion, right? But, as you can see from the usage restrictions, you need to be at least level 60 to craft this potion. That means you need to reach at least level 60 to qualify to make it.
Ah
It was as ck Scythe said.
If he reached level 60, he might be able to create a Life Potion.
Then, even if Sophia died, he could protect her.
If you want to protect Sophia from death, reach level 60. If you dont have a goal, find a new one. Dont give up on life like an old man who has seen everything. Because you didnt.
Victors eyes lit up with a new purpose as he looked at the potion.
Thank you. Ive been feeling confused and unclear, but now it feels like things are in order. No one but you, ck Scythe, has said such things to me. Im truly grateful.
Im d to hear that.
How do you understand my feelings so well?
I have a knack for understanding people. Call it insight, if you will.
Insight?
Such a simple word hardly seemed sufficient.
It felt like finding light in the darkness.
Like being rescued from a mire.
ck Scythe is truly a remarkable person.
Ive said what I came to say. Its heartbreaking to see someone I saved disappear without motivation.
Im sorry for showing you my worst side. Dont worry anymore. I have a new goal now.
Thats good to hear. Ill trust your word.
As Ryu Min saw Victors mindpletely change, he smiled behind his mask.
Before I leave, onest piece of advice: be open and honest with your family. It will resolve any feelings of suffocation.
Victors eyes widened.
You even knew I hadnt told my family How exactly?
Just then.
Brother!
Sophia suddenly appeared, armed with a sword and shield.
Who are you talking to at this hour?
Oh, this person is Huh?
Victor turned his head, but ck Scythe had already disappeared.
Brother, who was it? You were just with a suspicious person wearing a mask.
Pondering Sophias question, Victor whispered softly.
Scythe.
Huh?
It was ck Scythe.
What?
Seeing Sophias surprised face, Victor made up his mind.
He would take ck Scythes advice.
