The void

Rani fell to the ground, her skin turning red as two horns grew over her head. Her soldiers immediately ran towards her, alarmed at her sudden collapse.

"Princess!" the officer shouted, dismounting his steed and rushing to her side.

"System, what's happening to her? Is her curse coming back?" I asked, worriedly. Rani's soul weapon and doll had returned to her body.

(Scanning...)

(Host, the curse of Wyrm has drastically sped up in her body. If the curse continues to spread, she will turn into a demon and go berserk, killing everyone around her.)

I heard the system's voice in my head. If she completely transformed into a demon, I had no way of turning her back to haman until I killed that demon. But why did the curse have to awaken at this moment?

"No, the Wyrm is awakened. He is coming for us! We have to escape!" The officer grabbed my uniform and urgently shouted for us to flee.

Once again, I felt the earthquake, but this time it shook the world, and the ground beneath me broke apart.

Everyone immediately stopped fighting and stepped aside as a huge creature emerged from the ground. A dark shadow took over the sky when it appeared.

"Damn it, what the f@ck is that?" Uram looked at the giant shadow with fear, instructing his Walcher to stand before him.

"An ancient demon... There's only one explanation!" Pluge said, his face turning pale as he witnessed the creature's massive size, which almost reached the clouds.

Regoven and Saga stopped fighting, stepping back and shielding themselves from the flying debris as the creature emerged from the ground.

"What in the world is that, God?"

"Wait... I remember this thing! The legendary Demon Lord's servant, the Wyrm," Regoven mused, her eyes widening in realization.

I looked at the giant creature, the Wyrm. It had multiple enormous teeth, two oversized horns, and eyes that could freeze anyone who looked at them.

"So that's the Wyrm I have to kill to break Rani's curse," I pondered, staring at the giant worm. I could have easily taken it down, but due to my curse, I've become a plaything for women.

[That strange energy I was sensing before belonged to this creature. I assume it doesn't have a brain and has the mind of a wild beast.]

Frosty spoke in my head as I shifted my gaze toward the Wyrm.

"System, scan that thing and tell me the details about this Wyrm!"

(Scanning!... Scan complete)

"WTF! This thing's mana and health are ridiculously high! Now I see why the Hero couldn't defeat it," I mused, staring at the Wyrm's insane HP and mana.

"Uuurrrr!"

The Wyrm suddenly roared into the air, and everyone present shielded their ears.

It then fixed its gaze on me and Rani, moving its head to eat us alive.

"Princess!" the officer shouted, taking Rani away from the Wyrm's attack. I was left alone, coldly watching it approach to swallow me in its jaws.

(Warning: life-threatening danger detected, initiating self-defense.)

The System suddenly manifested in her human appearance inside me. Rani and the others saw her, their jaws dropping at the sight of her naked body and divine, perfect figure.

[Where did she come from? No, that thing is going to eat us. I need to do something!]

(Qutam Reflection Shield!)

The system used her forbidden magic and created an unstable shield made out of tiny atoms.

[It's time to go!]

As the Wyrm was about to eat me, a bright light emitted from my body, and I disappeared from the place!

Soul Void

I opened my eyes and looked at my surroundings. I was lying on the ice grass, the bright sun soaring above me. I looked at the horizon where the snow-covered mountains were. Turning my gaze, I saw the system lying beside me. My hand was over her soft breasts, and I unconsciously squeezed, sensing its softness. "How soft... I wonder how they taste when... Wait, what am I thinking at this moment? What is this place?"

The system momentarily opened her pink eyes and looked at me with a lingering gaze. Her stare made my cheeks blush, and my heart pounded rapidly at the sight of her perfectly refined body.

(Host, your heart is pounding faster, but your condition seems stable. I don't understand what is happening with you.)

"You wouldn't understand unless you saw your own face. If any human saw you, they would lose their sanity."

(Host, my heart also pounds involuntarily when I see you. Based on my analysis, I conclude that this feeling refers to love.)

The system's human appearance surprised me, especially as she spoke about feelings. I thought she was just an AI whose only job was to provide me with information.

[Are you two going to continue talking to each other, or are you going to notice?]

We both turned our heads to the source of the voice. I saw a beautiful girl with blue skin and a thick tail, her body covered in dark scales, and her eyes emitted a familiar energy.

(Host, this individual present here is your soul weapon, the ice dragon Frostwyrm Glacius.)

"Frosty!"

I called her name, seeing her humanoid form. She stared at me with her eyes lingering but showed no expression.

"Frosty... What is this place, and why are you in humanoid form?" I asked her about this strange place where no one else could be seen.

Frosty stayed silent for a while, then leisurely closed her eyes and let out a yawn.

[This place is called the Void, a soul space that only a few people can create. In this void, time flows slower than on the other side. Twenty-four hours here is equivalent to five minutes on the other side. And you must be wondering why I brought you here?]

"To save me from that Wyrm?"

[Yes, but that is not the complete reason. The real reason I brought you here is to improve your mana flow and body physique. Now, let's start your training!]
