Confusion

Young master Gaun had a clue on the shit.

'Alternate Universe?'

Young master Gaun asked, but the system did not reply.

Ding!

[ …  ]

Young master Gaun's curious about his abilities.

'What is the Miracle Valkyrie's body?'

Ding!

[ The host will have a body that whenever it receives damage inflicted upon it, the host can replace his injured parts and make this body more massive, strong, adaptable, durable, and gain wings. For only a short amount of time, summoning alternate universe souls and sacrificing them. ]

Young master Gaun's forehead sweat. 

The amount of shock that was given to him by the system is making him shake uncontrollably. 

"You know?"

This time, young master Gaun found an idea of how he came here and why he occupied this body. 

'Alternate universe soul?'

It was the trigger in his brain as he realizes that the current him is also an alternate-universe soul. 

Ding!

[ Charge: 82. ]

[ The host must seek death and survive to improve. ]

[ If the current host died a few times, the host must struggle against other alternate universe versions of himself so the current soul of the host won't be replaced. ]

Seeing that the system was not answering him, young master Gaun was feeling a little hazy.

However, the last screen notification made his mind clearer as he became cautious.

After thinking through it a lot of times, he proceeded to the next he received.

'What is my curse?'

In this novel, whenever a person receives a rare gift, it would come with a curse.

Ding!

[ True face of Angels: They would become scarily handsome to the opposite sex but only to the creatures with feathers. To the others, however, even if they have wings or not, as long as they don't have feathers, the host would become hideous aura that can even make some paralyzed or disgusted. ]

Young master Gaun's mouth went wide.

'What?'

'To my elves, what will I look like?'

Ding!

[ Extremely scary ugly. ]

Young master Gaun can't accept this.

'What about my succubus?'

Ding!

[ Extremely scary ugly. ]

Young master Gaun's body was turning into a stone.

'What about humans?'

Ding!

[ Extremely scary ugly. ]

This time, he became a stone.

'To magical beasts?'

Ding!

[ Extremely scary ugly. ]

Young master Gaun: "..."

System: "..."

…

Meanwhile, far away from the carriage, young master Gaun was on.

Leanne and a knight clad in violet armor were sitting on a tree. 

The two of them look ethereal, as if the wind that blew the tree leaves was not touching them. 

"What's your decision, my lady?"

The knight clad in armor spoke. 

Her lady planned to end the bloke in the carriage.

She's been blinded by love for him for a very long time.

The knight clad in armor could not take it any longer. 

Seeing that the bloke was still alive, he became irritated.

"Your highness."

The knight touched his sword on his waist and continued.

"I can remove his head to ease your suffering."

To him, her highness Leanne is a sixteen-year-old woman that is supposed to be a queen of the Crystal Kingdom.

However, she was tired of politics and was interested in other things.

To live a life and love normally like others.

However, she didn't realize that she had a habit of changing people. 

It's a bad habit.

Leanne turned one man into a ruler of an empire.

A beggar like him became what he is right now, a magic knight.

Now, he is assuming that she wanted to change that bloke into a man.

The knight hated that idea.

"I thought it wasn't him but I was wrong."

Leanne mumbled in silence, not taking seriously what the knight had said beside her.

She didn't elaborate on the plan of the knight because she knew a knight is a person who will sacrifice his life for her, anytime.

It would be bad if the knight misunderstood.

The knight halted as his highness was acting weird. 

Leanne seems in paradise based on her face. 

She remembered the young master Gaun's words.

'It's so beautiful… His tone, it's like he expected this… but why?'

'No one can understand… David... They will never understand me.'

'However, you… I want to know…'

'What is your reason for wanting me to go?'

'You're the only one who can understand me but why can't I understand you?'

Her silver hair spreads out as her hair is touched by the wind.

Leanne stares at the carriage where young master Gaun was in with a hint of melancholy.

'This is my second life.'

'In the past, I was a trusted dog, a sword of the Crystal empire by the royal family.'

'I am their sword in the shadow. I've protected the empire behind their backs and sacrificed my life a thousand times.

'Until I was betrayed by them, the royal family that I served with all my life!'

'I've sacrificed everything with my blood and my heart!'

Leanne clenched her fist, remembering her first past life. 

'He's the one who saved me from my shadow, from the darkness.'

'Protect me, feed me, love me, and everything I could ever ask for.'

'He always understands me…'

'But he died in that catastrophe.'

Tears fell from Leanne's eyes.

Her shoulder trembled and making the knight clad in armor felt a sting in his heart.

'I thought I would forget him but I never did.'

'I tried to love again, but he's the only one that came close to my heart.'

'I decided to never be in a relationship after our romance.'

'I kept missing and missing him since.

'This time, I want to save him...'

'But he is a completely different person.' 

'At first, he treated me well but when those two came, he changed.'

'I am confused. He is not the person I know, then he became that person I know again.'

'Who is he?'

'Why can't I understand my love?'

Leanne remembers how she just tried to kill him and tears fell uncontrollably.

'As I was convinced that he is not him and I wanted to kill him, why did he say those words?' 

'He gave up on me?'

'Live and don't waste my life?'

'You also said that when you died in my arms.'

'Also, David?'

'We're not that close!'

'David might also be close to me but I only look at him as a sibling.'

Leanne was overwhelmed right now that she didn't know what she was supposed to do. 

She is utterly confused.

The Gaun Leyhart in her past life.

The Gaun Leyhart who treated her like shit with the coming of two concubines.

The Gaun Leyhart is now different.

'Which is real… I'm confused.'

'I'm sorry, I tried to kill you.'

'I thought you are now a completely different person!'

'I thought you and you in the past differed from each other.'

However, Leanne is sure when he asks her to Leave, young master Gaun was like the person she knew back then.

'Why would you ask me to Leave, again!?'

'You wanted me to leave you again!?'

'When I confirmed it was you?!'

Leanne could only sigh with a helpless expression.

Soon her expression changed.

"This time, I will find the reason you chose those two before me."

"This time I will know who you are."

"You can't be the only one who was supposed to understand me."

"This time, I will try to understand you. Even if it cost me my life."

Suddenly, her eyes lit up as he saw far away that young master Gaun opened the door of his carriage.
