042 'You're really insidious.

```

In his previous life, Shane often read about various settings related to life force, which made him quite concerned about the nature of this power.

Especially since its mechanism could be used to convert into magic power, leading Shane to constantly wonder if those mages who recklessly squandered magic power would one day suddenly drop dead from exhausting their life force.

However, in any storyline, people seemed to use this power as a matter of course and eventually came out unscathed, leaving Shane puzzled.

These plot holes were eventually dismissed as "just novel stuff, taking it seriously is a loss," so they were no longer pursued.

Now, Shane felt that since he had encountered this issue in reality, he must find an answer.

Otherwise, his obsessive-compulsive tendencies would drive him to madness!

Naturally, Vivian couldn't possibly know about Shane's mental activities.

So, in response to Shane's question, Vivian answered with a smile.
