[Side note: Cale has sent the message to Taylor through the cats.]
This was the next day after Simon was t̵a̵g̵g̵e̵d̵ ̵a̵ ̵C̵r̵e̵e̵p̵ ̵b̵y̵ ̵t̵h̵e̵ ̵l̵o̵c̵a̵l̵s̵ tagged as a unique tourist by the locals.
Simon who had completely erased what happened yesterday looked at the rising sun. He had thrown the rock away So that he wouldn't even be reminded of the events that had transpired.
'All of my sins shall be rinsed away by the sunlight.'
Simon repeated similar sentences to keep a positive attitude. Simon kept saying these things to get rid of every bit of bad luck he had.
*Some hours later*
Choi Han was now going on his own way. Most of the people bidding Choi Han farewell thought that Choi Han was going to live his own life with that innocent smile.
But Only Simon, Cale, and Choi Han himself knew what would happen. Simon knew the most even among the three.
After Choi Han left with an innocent smile, Everybody went back to do whatever they were doing. Simon personally went to bathe for two hours. He needed to clear any negativity or bad luck he had.
*Next day*
Cale ordered everybody to pack up their bags. They needed to leave. The knights all started to hurry up and packed their bags. Hans and Hilsman took care of the troublesome stuff.
Soon Simon, Cale, and co. left the puzzle city.
...
On the way, Simon was bored. I mean really bored. What could he even do? He had nothing to do. If this was back on Earth, he would've had his phone.
Simon never kept any games but The Dino game of Chrome was really useful for such a situation. He used to play it whenever he was on a bus or a train.
Simon turned around to see Cale looking out of the window, seemingly bored. Then Simon turned his gaze towards the cats.
Hong's eyes met with his, As Hong excitedly asked about the lights and puppets that Simon had used. Hong thought that the lights and the puppets were cool.
Well, The way Simon used them while being enveloped in fog and using Anime lines was indeed cool.
Simon decided to answer Hong's curiosities. Hong seemed to be excited. Even On's ears were perked.
Heck, Simon was sure that even Cale had an expression of interest for a split second before going back to his stoic expression.
"Can you show us the lights? That thing looked really cool from Noona's fog-nya. And also the puppets were really cool too, How do you control them? How many of them can you control-nya?"
Simon had nothing better so he replied honestly. These were just minor questions.
"I can control 10."
Simon also took out the lights and gave one to Hong. Hong didn't know how to operate 'that' thing. Simon then told him the way to operate it.
The lights that Simon made were Solar chargeable. It stored energy from the light during the day and used it to work.
Hong suddenly asked a question.
"How does this even work-nya?"
'With my powers.' was what he wanted to reply with but he couldn't do so.
Simon's eyes shook a little bit. To be honest, Simon himself didn't know how his powers worked. He had discovered many things in the past few days.
But, the more that Simon figured things out, the more mysterious it got. Simon could never predict the properties of his powers.
Usually, In novels, Powers are based on the imagination of the user. Magic of this world has the same concept too. However, Simon's power was too odd.
This was the first time he had ever heard/seen something like this. This was unique to even him, Who had the most knowledge about this world after the Gods and Author-nim.
Simon had racked his brains and he came up with a conclusion. The conclusion was that
'My powers are based on a certain factor. There is something I am not aware of.'
Yes, A variable. Simon believed that there is one thing about himself that Simon himself doesn't know about. This may sound odd, but Simon had a feeling. It was more like the predicting ability you get after reading a lot of novels.
He had read God-knows-how many novels in his previous life. He could guess most of the novel's plot. TCF was an exception but that was also why he like reading it.
'Considering this is the world of TCF, My transmigration must have a reason. There was something enough to make a being of 'Higher existence' to bring a reader like me to this world.'
A reader being sent to TCF is a huge deal. If a psychopath happens to come here, with the knowledge of the novel, He could run the world in his hand. But, Simon came here. There must be a 'reason' why somebody like Simon was sent here.
Simon was sure about another thing.
'I am sure that the 'Higher existence' isn't a demon/devil and is definitely a being on the side of Gods.'
Why? Because if a demon/devil sent someone here, they would send a psychopath. Not a guy like Simon.
Or if Simon was chosen because he was emotionless towards most of the things, then that demon/devil did a sloppy job and made a mistake.
That 'reason', the variable factors, the difference in plot, and unexpected things were making him slightly scared.
However, Simon stopped such thoughts after hearing the voice of Hong.
"Simon. Are you fine-nya?"
Simon was confused and even scared of many things. His own Isekai, life, and everything had a question mark to it. He never remembered creating a deal with a god too.
This was serious, but Simon wasn't the type to sweat it. He had already lost half of his brain cells trying to comprehend the reasons and possibilities.
He would be cautious and that's all he could do. Otherwise, he might die from a headache. Simon finally opened his mouth and told Hong his answer.
"It's Magic."
Hong frowned. Was Simon trying to scam him? He was a child but he knew the difference between magic and other things.
Simon also frowned after Hong frowned. He began cursing himself.
'Damn, This is not Earth where I can say 'It's magic' to shoo away the kids. It's a fantasy world. I need to be more focused on what I say.'
Simon quickly said.
"I mean, It's a secret."
Hong just sighed while On patted him. Seeing this Simon was confused. What's with that reaction? He turned to ask Cale but then remembered something.
'Why am I even trying to ask him? He is a guy that doesn't understand things like this at all. He is just an unlucky guy. To be honest, He really deserves to be a slacker. I think I will help him."
Simon had some pity on his eyes. Cale immediately sensed that and thought
'Why is he looking at me with pity? Is there anything wrong?'
Cale grumbled to himself as he decided to ignore Simon. Simon also looked away. The boredom was still there but the stress and tension of things were present too.
Of course, Simon wasn't blaming Hong. He would have to be a psycho to blame an innocent and curious kid. Of course, Simon had also discovered new things about his property.
He couldn't create energy out of thin air. I mean he technically could but that would explode his brain.
His powers might be based on the wording, but the principle of it can't defy the most basic laws.
The backlash is all based on how hard his goal is.
A living body always resists foreign things. That's why my powers have greater backlash when using on a living body.
To non-living stuff, As long as it's not impossible and too hard, With some basic requirements fulfilled, Simon could use his powers with no worries.
Simon's mood was tensed because of uncertainty but it got better after seeing the cats talk and a Raon trying to sneak in food while exposing his location because of the grass.
