<h4>Chapter 20: [Viiness Maker]</h4>
''So, are you an angel... Or maybe a fallen angel?''
[Neither]he replied instantly, without flinching.
''Hmm, then what the hell are you?'' I asked, tapping constantly on the armrest of the chair.
[I... I don''t know.]
''You don''t know, or you don''t trust me enough to tell me what you are?'' I questioned, sensing his hesitation.
Well, I can understand his feelings. Even I don''t want to share too much about myself with him.
Reason?
Because I don''t fucking trust him.
''What''s your name?'' I asked, as he remained silent after myst question.
[El.]
''That''s not your real name, is it?'' I pressed, observing thedy who brought my food.
"Enjoy your meal, sir," she said with a light smile as she passed the food to me.
"Thank you," I replied, taking the food and cing it on the table in front of me.
"..."
[What happened?]
''I felt ufortable when I thanked her,'' I replied, looking at thedy.
Is my noble nature kicking in?
I can''t even say thank you now?
"Ma''am," I called her again, making her look back at me. "Can I get anything electronic, like a phone or a tablet? I can pay for it if you want."
Thedy looked at me awkwardly before she bowed a little and replied, "I will arrange one for you, sir, and it will be on the house."
With that, she walked back inside as I grabbed the utensils and brought the soup close to my mouth.
"nd as ever," I mumbled as I drank the soup. I couldn''t taste any vor or sensation from the food.
And... For the rest of my life, I will have to live like this, never knowing how food tastes.
Just the thought of it depresses me.
[Wait... are you not going to ask anything from me?]
''Look buddy, you are thest thing I have to worry about,'' I replied as I drank the soup just to fill my stomach.
[Seriously... What is wrong with you?]
''Everything,'' I replied, shrugging my shoulders. ''Everything is wrong with me.''
The sound of footsteps approaching pulled me from my thoughts, and I looked up to see thedy returning with a small electronic device in her hands.
"Here you go, sir," she said, cing the device on the table in front of me. "A tablet, as requested."
"Thank you," I replied, again feeling a slight difort.
Opening the tablet, I quicklyunched the first browsing app I could find on it.
[What are you doing?]
''Trying to find out who the [Main Antagonist] of the game will be,'' I replied before taking a deep breath.
Hesperia kingdom.
I typed it in before clicking on the search icon and waiting for the results.
And... Nothing appeared.
I tried again and again with different approaches and words, but nothing appeared on it.
"Sigh..."
With a sigh, I ced the tablet back on the table before leaning back in the chair.
[Are you going to tell me what you were doing?]
''Hmm, you know, this world we''re in, it''s a world of a game or something simr,'' I replied before closing my eyes.
[And... you are not him, right?]
''No shit, Sherlock. I would have beenughing like a madman if I were to be him,'' I grumbled in reply.
[Why?] his voice echoed in my mind.
''Why, you ask?'' I scoffed at his words before replying, ''That fucker is going to get a harem and power that he didn''t earn, and you''re asking me why?''
[So... aside from this hero person, who else is there?] Sensing my sour mood, he quickly changed the subject.
''Well, there are heroines, viins, viiness,'' I replied, pausing briefly. ''...And then there''s me, the viiness maker.''
[So... you''re special?] his voice probed.
''...No,'' I replied, feeling a hint of bitterness. ''I''m just the heroines first love.''
I am a one-way ticket to a bad ending.
I opened my eyes to look at the tablet again, feeling a mixture of frustration and amusement.
Opening the browser once more, I searched for another name: Azariah Noah Aljanah.
In an instant, thousands of articles appeared before me.
"Disgrace of his family, rudest person to talk to, killer, rapist, mental patient... Woah, aren''t I famous?" I chuckled softly as I read ''my'' history ording to the inte.
[You are not the same person as him?]
''No, I am not and in a sense I am,'' I replied before closing the tablet. ''But you don''t know how dearly I wished I wouldn''t be him; being him is the shittiest thing that can happen to me.''
[Because of your body?]
''Partially, yes, but mostly because of my blessing.''
''Blessing of Amun-Ra'' that I got when I was a child.
Blessing of one of the strongest Gods to ever live, but this blessing became a curse when the world got to know about it.
My body and my blessing are the most desirable things that all the evil organizations want.
A body that can work as a container and can adapt to all kinds of energy in this world.
That''s what my blessing is capable of...
...But the problem is, my body rejects Mana and because I can''t use Mana properly, making it extremely hard for me to get stronger.
I am basically a duck on a chopping board, ready to be chopped.
''...And you know what''s the worst part in all this?'' I thought as I closed my eyes.
''If I don''t think about how to survive by the end of this year, I will be turned into a puppet that only moves in her hand until the end of my life.''
