Chapter 3: Cute Little Voice

"Ah, why do I need to be the one to buy it? Ahhh." I couldn't help but ruffled my head in frustration.

This is frustrating, I still did not finish reading the novel I was currently reading. And mom told me to buy ingredients at the Market.

The annoying part is the distance was so far away. This is the reason why the countryside is a bit troublesome.

The people from the empire said that in empires the travel to buy food was very short, they have advanced rides, plus there is also beautiful scenery, unlike here. 30 minutes of walk before getting to the marketplace area!

I still need to pass through the farmland, and then go left and right just like---

The sky...

Why did it suddenly turn dark?

The sun was hidden behind the clouds, It was as if it turned nighttime, but no moon nor stars in the sky. Just a blanket of dark clouds.

"Ehem, ehem... Good day, everyone~" sounded by the lively voice of a child, who seemed around 5 or 6. It was not heard in my ears rather it was sounding in my mind.

What's going on?

"How have you been? Did you guys miss me~? I feel bored these past few years, so I came back to play! let's play!" Then the child's voice giggled. "It was just a simple survival game. You guys need to kill at least a number of living organisms for the given days and time. If you are able to do so, you will receive a gift from me! Well, I'm still going to think what kind of gift it will be!" Half-assed explains the childish voice.

Who the heck was playing in my mind? Is it a power user, or just whatever it was?

Bah, who cares.

"Oh yeah, the penalty of those who didn't achieve the given number~ well, they will be turned into a monster, or a zombie that you guys are talking about, or maybe~ eaten alive, little by little... I am still thinking if I planned to add more!" He giggled.

"So as a special gift. I will open a cute little portal for you guys and~ here we go!"

Cute little portal?

A bright light suddenly opened on the top of mine, the next thing I knew was that a great light also opened below me, and it shone on me.

"Ahhhh!!!" I couldn't help but shout in agony and pain.

It felt so hot, and a pricking feeling. It was as if someone was trying to skin and burn me alive. My vein felt being clogged, my breathing stagnant, my eyes felt burning, as it felt it would pop out at any given moment. My bones feel as if being pounded inside, my brain was being ripped apart.

My throat tastes rusty, feels dry, hot, and itchy.

"Ah! Sorry~ I forgot, please stay away from the light that will suddenly pop out~ else you will die~" the sound of the voice giggled.

You should have said that earlier! Ahhhhhh!!!

I heard my ear pop, and then an annoying sound of silence prevails in my audio, an earth-shearing pain, and hotness inside my ears.

I want to ease it but I can't because my body feels too stiff, rather the pain all over my body maximizes as the exposure to the light continues. And it felt like hell.

I can't anymore...

But I still didn't achieve my normal life. Will I simply die here?

No, I can't...

My future wife...

I can't just leave her without meeting her or giving her a child. Wait, we also need to marry...

I felt my body touch the ground, but I am sure that my body already can't be distinguished, as it felt so numb and weak.

Ah, why did this stupid thing happen to me...

Really hateful.

"Hey, do you want to survive?" The sound of a sweet childish girl voice in my mind. "I can help you, but you need to make a pact with me?"

Who was that?

"Who are you?" I asked in my mind.

"Oh, you are really alive! Noice!" She chuckled. "But you are super weak. I can even kill you with one finger. Tsk tsk tsk. It was quite a surprising seeing you alive."

"Am I dead?"

"Baka, idiot. I already told you that you are alive but then you will ask if you are dead. Hmph. Anyway, that doesn't matter. I will ask you again... Do you want to survive?"

Survive...

Normal life, a normal family, a happy one... "Yeah... I want to..."

"Then make a pact with me! You have no talent for having a superpower but that was great news. I can fill you up with mine. But in exchange, I want you to do a certain mission I want. Else I will repeat what happened to you, and kill those special to you..."

..... Special to me???

My family showed up in my mind. And there is Andrew, my childhood friend, and Eugene...

"But... If you are able to fulfill it. I will reward you!"

Reward???

"What do you think?" She asked sweetly...

Well, I still need to achieve my dream. That is to be normal.

"I agree," I said.

"Very good. Then from now on, you are my cute little slave--- I mean partner! Silly me... Now Reigan, I hope you will be alive!" Then my consciousness brought to darkness
