Chapter Ten: Tate, is this you?

Even after saying all this, not a single thing happened. He thought of everything he could do to get out of the situation he find himself.

He recalled shutting down the A1 system because it transmigrated him against his will. He thought that perhaps the seer was angry and had decided to eliminate him out of the novel world by granting him a quick death.

'I never wanted to transmigrate in the first place, why do I have to suffer?'

If only he could open his mouth, a call for help might deliver him from this guy who had him stuck to the wall like a statue.

Since there was nothing he could do, he had no other choice but to watch as Jim spat out several fluids of saliva as he talked.

He wanted to punch his face but he couldn't. He already gave up on trying but he swore if he had the chance to get out of this, he will make Jim pay for what he did to him.

While in the state of do-to-me as you pleased, Xash suddenly got a lightbulb.

'Err, Seer. I don't know if you're listening but I want to tell you that I'm sorry for shutting down your A1. I'm quite aggressive, and I don't tolerate nonsense, so I had to punish your A1. But even still you can't just abandon me like this.'

He waited a few minutes to see if a miracle will happen or something but unfortunately after two minutes, nothing happened.

A little bit devastated, he continued with his speech, which looks like he's praying to a god in his mind.

'How about we make a deal, I'll switch on the A1, you save me from this brat. I promise you I won't shut down the A1. In fact I'll switch it on for you.'

[ Switching On the A1… ]

[ Success! ]

'Hey A1,…'

Before he could say anything, the A1 system interrupted him.

'The name is Tate.'

'Okay Tate, I know you're wondering how I end up here. But for old time sake, can you please help me out!'

'Old time sake? I don't think I recall any.' Tate said.

'Don't ju-st, Ahh!'

Xash let out a painful groan as Jim pushed the bottle deeper into his chest. He wasn't able to shout for help since Jim had his mouth closed, credits to his ability.

'Hey, I can't feel my heartbeat anymore, am I dead?'

'Hmm, I think so. Welcome to Hell.' Tate said, teasingly.

'Fuck you!'

"Do you know why I hate you?" Jim said, "The fact that Father is planning to make you the next leader of the Faction annoys me. Why would he leave a potential son like me for a worthless person as you!"

'Tate, do something!' Xash groaned in pain as he saw his HP drop down by another 50 point.

[ HP: 900/1000 ]

'Shut up, I'm trying to see through your memories. You switched me off for three days, how do you expect me to help you.'

'Whatever, just free me from this crazy guy. I swear I'll punch his face if I ever have the chance.'

With his hands pushing slowly into Xash's chest, Jim continued his speech.

"But all of that will end now, I can kill you with just a snap of my finger,… Any last words?" He said as he raised his left fingers up in the air.

'Tate, do something.'

'What do you want me to do? I'm stuck in your goddamn mind.'

'That means you're useless, perhaps I should just switch you off.'

'But you promised not to do that again!' Tate said. 'I saw them in your memories.'

'I was just,…' Xash paused for a while. 'You know what, forget about it.'

'Okay fine. Calm down, I'll try and help you somehow, okay?' Tate said.

'Have you read any novel with the character having a person stuck in his mind?' Tate asked.

'Yeah, a lots of them.' He answered.

'And that stuck dude, do you read the part where he takes control of the host's mind.'

'Why are you asking me those questions, what does it have to do with you helping me?'

'I'm stuck in your mind, but I can still take control of your body. I can help you defeat this idiot.' Tate replied.

'Hey, what do you mean take control? Are you trying to do like those stuck dudes from the Novel?'

'Hmm Hmm.'

'Hell No! How is that even possible. Those are novels, Tate, those are novels!'

'Yeah, and so are we. Everything is possible in the Novel world.' She added. 'Now stay calm and let me take control of our body.'

'Our body? It is my body!' Xash flashed back. 'And wait, how do you plan on doing that?'

'That's so simple, I just have to switch on the lights while you close your eyes…'

Xash did as she said and closed his eyes. It was dark at first but then he saw a bright white light appear from the corner of his eyes.

He turned sidewards and saw that the light was from a torch. He wondered how it was possible but he was more shocked as he saw a lady appear out of a corner with the torch in her hands.

The lady approaching him was dressed in a blue-white coloured Chinese gown. It was the gown most females wear in the past before everyone switched to the wearing of shirts, skirts and trousers.

'Tate? Is this you?' Xash drooled at the sight of the lady in front of him.

Talking about beauty she was unmatched to any girls he ever saw. Her height and proportions were perfect, her hour glass shape was her pride and her snow white skin was the envy of every girls. Her cute kitty-like eyes could seduce thousands of men in just a blink of it.

She walked majestically with her hair having the same colour as her gown, rest on her shoulders.

She was too prefect to be called human, she was a goddess, the goddess of beauty that every Male prays to have as a wife, the goddess of beauty that every female prays to be like…
