Out

Then Shyrveen shook his head to make the spur of thoughts to get out of his mind, and ponders for a bit before looking at mumbling lady beside him.

Sensing his stares, Sofia tilted her head towards him with question mark on her eyes.

"By the way, Mi Alma('My Soul', endearment for Spanish). Do you know some places here with... Supernatural?"

Sofia raised an eyebrow as she stares at his eyes.

"... You mean some places like this?"

Shyrveen gulps for unknown reason but still nodded.

"... I want to know why you want to seek these places? Does your experiences here not enough for you to avoid this things?"

She is confused by this kid, normally, every one will stop seeking or avoid places with rumors of horrors but, her human husband is not included at those people.

She is curious, even though Shyrveen already got powers so he can fight back, she still wants to know his answer.

"... I wanted to but I can't, no, it's not that I can't but I needed to... It's the only way to get my memories back."

"..."

Then she remembers what he said after getting in here. They stared at each other before Sofia sighing and steps back.

"Alright."

Sofia closed her eyes and says the directions of what she can sense then waved her right hand at the last second.

"There's a neighbor at southwest, three at south, one at east, one at far southwest, and other places that not worth mentioning even be included in weaker categories. Now that I had a position equal to Ruler, much higher to being just a manager, I can say that, you must avoid going to this three places. I don't know their names but I can sense them, much stronger than this place... I might add that, you will die once you meet an entity there."

"..."

'Six plus this place, it's seven... Laperal House, Old Diplomat Hotel, Japanese Tunnel... Loakan Road?'

Shyrveen have doubts about this and stare at Sofia's eyes that staring back at him.

'Yes. It is known haunted place but not that famous... But let's include that. Then... But she said there's three at south... One is Loakan Road... Ah! Fuck, the Camp John Hay and Hyatt Terraces Hotel Ruins!'

"Then where are these three stronger places?"

"I told you not to go there, but I must tell you too so you can avoid them..."

She scratches her head with annoyance and finally told him.

"Neighbor at southwest, one at far southwest, and one at south."

"That's the Laperal House, Old Diplomat Hotel and... Does the place at south is big?"

"... Are you sure? I don't want to scare you..."

"It's fine, and I guess no matter how big they are, is not that strong, right?"

"Yes and no. Because the bigger the place the bigger the meal, like the place at the south. It will take time and you have a very low chance of escaping if you're in the center of that place. Now, like the place at the far southwest, it is small and the meal is small. But the meal is faster to be eaten compared from the bigger place."

"Meal... You keep saying meal... Is it us? I mean humans?"

"Yes, but specifically, anything with soul, lindura~"

"So... Both place have advantages and disadvantages?"

"Of course, but the most dangerous is the smallest. Since every Spectre can teleport with a certain range, and now you can imagine the rest, right?"

Shyrveen's body has been poured by cold water after imagining the Ghost Teacher but much stronger in her small domain.

'I'll die faster!'

"Huu... But I still want to know how big you can sense at the south, Mi Alma..."

"It's almost 20 times of this whole place."

Shyrveen was shock to his very soul. His mouth keeps opening and closing but without producing a single squeak of sound.

'Almost 20 times!?'

"Camp John Hay is that big!? What the fuck!? I know Camp John Hay is big, but not that big!"

Sofia can only shrugs for him after all she can only sense, can not see or go there.

'Wait, I can do that now. If Lindura went there though... No. If he's stronger, I can say that he can survive there with me... Hmm, hmm... There's the plan...'

A human and a spectre sinks in their own worlds...

Time took awhile before it's time for Shyrveen to get out of this place.

He wants to say 'damned place', but he is now it's Ruler.

'Ahh... What a contradiction...'

Right now, Sofia is kissing his lips deeply after sending him here, at the very border of the Independent Space.

Which, without her permission, there's no way that anyone can get out of this place.

Entrance Only. No Exit.

Sofia already told her that she can send lost people in this Independent Space if they're in her own territory/domain, but she wants to savour their warmth time which he can only agree.

He is too irritated from being a weakling, but on a second thought.

'She's almost a century old spectre and only reached Esquire Rank... So, I'm not that bad?'

After a minute, they parted lips with Sofia's annoyance then glared at him.

"Arg! Haa? Huh!? Why pinching!?"

"You're being malicious to this lady!"

She pull his ears and pushes him softly towards the border only to hear him.

"So... See you later?"

Shyrveen thought for a bit and decided not to say goodbye.

'Yes, let's be careful with this too...'

Nodded to his wits in his mind.

"Then be careful, just tug our bridge with your resentment so I can feel if you need me."

"I will."

Then dark fog finally ate him and he felt so dizzy so suddenly, he almost kiss the ground from the dizziness but use his (MF) instinctively to clear his mind.

He took a minute to adapt before looking around.

He noticed that he is in the same place, same position, same road, where Sofia send him out.

But he realized that the gloomy and heavy atmosphere is finally lifted from his body, telling him that this is the reality now.

Nevertheless, he still can't remember anything related to his current body, no, his body.

Even though he wants to say 'related to himself' he can't do that for now since there are no memories to integrate.

'No, there's a fragment but its not related to the identity...'

He looks around again not knowing what to do, looks up just to see the starry night sky.

With the fragment of the camp in his mind, he walks back to the same path towards the Staff Hall.

That's the only thing he can think of to help him, letting the staff to help him search his identity before he can sleep again.

For that two hours of sleep, it was not enough for him to rest, he could relax a bit back there in Sofia's room but he couldn't put his guard down at all.

His body was tensed and he knew that Sofia knows that too, and so he is thankful for what happened and now he is still alive and kicking.

Soon, he reached the Staff Hall that its entrance door is opened.

Knock! Knock!

He knocks on it to let the people inside know his presence, that at the same time, to sense presences with his skill.

After gulping his saliva he slowly said.

"Tao po... (Is there anybody here...)"

"Come in!"

He sighed in relief, and pushes the door widely before slipping his body inside.

Closed the door and look for the owner of the voice.

A bit older woman wearing a uniform, telling him that she's a janitress on her night shift.

"Hello, Nay (Nanay: Mother, Elder Woman)."

"Hi..."

The janitress looks at him only to stop saying something, he saw her being stunned that made him nervous again.

"Come! Come here! What do you kids playing at this hour!? And now you're the second one that is so dirty! And now worse than the girl earlier!?"

She hurriedly trots to him and pulls him towards the couch and pushes him carefully before continuing.

"Sit down and stay here, let me call the nurse. Seeing you like that, there might be wounds on your body."

And hastily jog towards a room without letting him say something.

Earlier, his body became tensed and had an impulse to turn around and run away but saw the concern on the elder's eyes and voice after seeing his state, he controlled his body to stay and let the flow take him.

He didn't know if he will cry or laugh from it.

'For whole twelve hours playing inside of the place that any second I might die. My body got its own self dodging trauma skill...'

"Haa..."

He breathe out deeply before shaking his head then remembered what the janitress said.

'So I can guess that the girl she mentioned was the girl from the Independent Space, huh?...'

He stares at the janitress in the room that talking into a telephone since the door was left opened.

Soon, the janitress put down the telephone and walks towards him and waved her right hand as she says.

"Take your jacket off first, then pull your shirt up- No! Just take it slow! What if you're heavily wounded!?"

But only to stop him after seeing him moving so casual with out caring for his body, not that he really didn't care but he knows that he is in a good shape.

'But you pulled me hurriedly earlier...'

He wants to counter but didn't do it, and just follow the elder's instruction as she check his body.

Shortly, the janitress sighed in relief and gestured him to follow her.

"Let's go to the Clinic Hall, even though this is the Staff Hall. There's not a single thing related for check up or recovery here. And you can take a rest there too."

They chatted as he looks around to survey the surrounding or the camp itself.

The place is surrounded by a lot of woods but the trees are not that dense, in fact you can trek there or take a picnic if you want, but compared from Independent Space, it's the opposite.

'Maybe because the woods in there was the domain of the said priest?...'

Both of them took a while before reaching the said Clinic Hall.

They even encountered some people, staffs, students, teachers, guards, and even some vloggers.

But seeing him, they frown for confusion and only bows slightly with their heads to him as a greeting, as he bow to them too for politeness.

Just as the janitress raised her fist to knock, the door opens by a lady wearing a white nurse uniform, with stunned expression after seeing her.

"Nay... I told you to wait for me there since it's my job... Or you can just order some younger janitor to lead this kid here..."

The janitress waved her right hand casually and turns around but with a little irritation in her voice.

"Haa! Let it be, I want to take some air too. Alright, alright, I'm going back."

She rolled her eyes and taps his shoulder and waved.

The nurse scratches her head for not knowing what to do with the elder then looks at Shyrveen.

Frown and clicked her tongue.

"You kids now a day are really... Come in. Seeing you here, you don't have any serious wounds or bruises?"

"Yes, Ate."

"But for surety, take off your upper clothes. Let's see what happened to you for having your clothes turns like rags like that."

Few minutes after, he wore a white clean shirt from her and heard her saying while writing something on the papers.

"So, you have amnesia... Based on the bump on your head and explanations, it must be a temporary amnesia. Just pray hardly that it's not that serious, I'll talk to the guards to tell your teachers about your situation and fetch your things and some IDs to make you remember. We can tell for what to do next according to your reaction later. For now lay down on the bed and rest. "

"Thank you, Ate."

She pats his shoulder and smiled kindly for assuring him before walking away.

'Hey. You're cheating on me so early?'

A seductive but cold whisper came in his mind making him shivers.

'Huh? Sofia?'

He shudders again.

'I mean, Mi Alma?'

But only to be answered by silence.

'Don't worry, Mi Alma. I don't have time to spend for some love life, I mean I can spend time for you, but nobody else, it's only for you and me...'

He explained steadily and determinedly, then slowly closed his eyes and let the things to be think over after he wakes up.

Next day, eight o'clock in the morning.

Shyrveen yawns as he stretches his arms on the bed.

Rubs his eyes until he stared blankly at the ceiling.

Then gradually thought the things that happened yesterday.

'System?'

[Yes, Host?]

'Why the contract suddenly changed? I remembered everything I laid down inside of it...'

[This System judged that everything you put in on the contract are randomly things that had been thought off by you that are worthless for the Lady Guard. And this System initiated to change them according to your survival rate, Demon Goddess's Will and facts that available since it's been judged that you don't have an ability to think calmly at that time.]

'... So that was it... Then, I should thank you for that instead of cursing you, my bad, System.'

[No need to mention it, Host.]

He didn't like the feeling of uncontrollable emotion of this younger body. He thinks that he might be an adult already in his past life for the way he thinks but his current body is too young, might be a rebellious one for that matter.

Contradicting his own personality for now.

Stopping his thoughts, he directly ordered the cubes to show his things.

Things gone awry again just after opening his cubes.

'Can you give me some breather? Just for a few couple of damned days, System...'

[I can't do anything about it, Host. Once you got acknowledge the thing, by seeing, hearing or sensing, this System will notify you. But, the quests above mentioned can be done by your own decision. Moon's Pavilion don't have a time limit to search for, as long as you found the said Pavilion, you're good compared from before. About the Trial of Mayari's Kampilan, it will only be triggered once you drip your blood on the Kampilan itself. Please read more carefully, Host.]

'Is it? Thanks for reminder but I don't want to do anything related to supernatural and shits today... Not mentioning that it wants me to defeat the War God?... Haaa...'

Shyrveen shied away and felt helpless, he pulls out the Kampilan and stared at it, thinking.

'Maybe it's better for you to stay of being a "Ruined Artifact".'

He shakes his head and toss the Kampilan into his (IC) before focusing into the skills which made him scratch his head.

All of them are good but the descriptions are killing him.

'Let it be, let it be, I want to chill and relax my nerves today... I guess the System will look down on me when I asked them for the real description, after all their names can be their very description itself... But... System?'

[Yes, Host?]

'I got a glimpse of my berserk status back then, what's with the low rank but it's muscle and bones?'

[Since you're only over spilling of Essential Energies for being a mortal, it is not recognized to be in Foundation Stage: Intermediate Rank: Muscles & Bones and Mistification State: Intermediate Rank: Black.]

'... But if, just if, if I am recognized as one. Can I change the outcome of the battle with Sofia?'

[You have a chance, Host... Reading Recorded Battle... Initiating Simulation Battle... Calculating... Final Analysis... Increased by 18% chance of blocking the piercing attack with your Kampilan using the Sleight of Fingers, Sword Mastery, Mental Force and Chakra Force at the right time, and 73% chance of ending at the same scenario, lastly, 9% chance of random possibilities.]

Shyrveen raised an eyebrow after hearing this and thought his own simulation, imagining how to achieve the 100% success of that 18%.

Only to remember something that so confusing.

'How did I live that time?'

[Your body shook, ending up dodging the slim sword by 21 millimetres away from your heart.]

'Is it luck?'

[Beginning of calculation for the question...]

Five minutes later, he frowns.

'System?'

Ten minutes after.

[Reviewing ended... Final Theory: The 'you' at that time, got his instincts right in the face of death.]

'... Me?... So, in the end because I'm so weak?'

[Yes, Host.]

'Damn! It hurts!'

Shyrveen shifted his body comfortably and randomly thought his experiences and ended up asking again.

'... Then how she can pierce my talisman and my forces?'

[Analyzing Recorded Battle... Focusing... Zooming... Detected... Results: Her slim sword trembled at the slightest as possible, but doable of using the fatality of vibrating sword. Instead of resulting in the sharpest cutting technology, she use the vibration to use multi-unknown-number of attacks in seconds. In short, an almost neutron star single attack.]

Shyrveen blinks repeatedly and stared at the ceiling.

Waiting for his mind gears to work.

'... Speak in my language please... What do you mean an almost neutron star single attack?'

[Zooming... Slow motion... Start counting... Results: 142 stabs per second.]

Shyrveen got shivers after hearing that, that made him sits up subconsciously.

'... Fuck this shit. Oh, by the way. Why I don't have a point related to Horror?'

[Please seek Horror Quests to know the answer, Host.]

Shyrveen sighed and shrugs.

'I guess same with my memories then, eh?'

Knock! Knock!

[Yes.]

He heard a knock on the door at the same time of the System's assuring notification, not that really an assurance for him though.

He wave his hand above his head to puff off his thought bubbles and answer for the person outside.

"Please, come in."

The door opens and three people went inside.

A man in his thirties wearing a guard uniform bringing a sports bag, a woman in her late twenties wearing a PE uniform with the same of his university jacket, hugging a brown envelope, and lastly, a woman with same guessed aged in her doctor's coat, holding her own file board.

The guard put down the sports bag on the foot of the bed before gesturing of lowering his cap for a polite bow.

"I'll go first, ma'am."

The doctor smiled and nodded to the guard.

"Thanks for the trouble, Kuya Bert."

"No problem, ma'am."

The guard replied and slowly closed the door.

Note: Tao("Ta-oh") = Human, "Tao po.", came from the old times of telling the people inside the house that he/she, a stranger, is knocking on the door that is a human. Legend says that most of the knockers in middle of the night are ghosts that pranking people, or monsters to lead the people inside to open the door. That now became a habit of greeting to one's presence and at the same time, asks if there's people or in fact, human inside of the house too.

Note: "Kuya", Big Brother or polite greeting for unknown male person, sometimes can be a habit of calling the male person after knowing him well on his job within the same place.
