Belhimer! Death Lord!

Dip!

The echoing sound of water dripping in the alley was giving the whole atmosphere a deadly eeriness. Kai held the gun tightly.

'There is no sound of breath.' At normal times, it is impossible to hide one breath in a silent alley like that, no matter how trained a person can be.

There is no way he or she could be able to silence his breathing for such a long period of time, just to make a surprise attack on a kid like himself.

'Has he left himself!' Kai thought!

Dinggg!!!!!!

Kai twisted his body and pointed directly at the top left of his body, where an alley could be seen, but there was not a single shadow of anything nearby as the metal screeched throughout the alley.

'Hah! Hah!' Kai breathed loudly; his body was sweating a ton. The sound of swirling wind hitting Kai's perspiring body caused the silence to break, but Kai's heartbeat continued to beat faster and faster, filling the alley with its ring.

'Fuck!' Kai abruptly made the decision to run as quickly as possible toward the shopping center.

He eventually spotted the shadow that appeared to be moving ahead of him and fired two shots in the fixed direction, missing its target as he saw a burly figure of something.

'Is that really a human.' When Kai first saw the humanoid-like figure, he felt a chill run down his spine. However, when he emerged from the alley, there was still no sign of the object, so he quickly threw the gun inside the system space, covered his body with his coat, and exhaled calmly as he entered the crowd of people.

'Hmm!' Kai turned back as he finally found the shadow of the eye that was staring at him with vigilance and something very complicated that he had yet to feel.

Kai was a little nervous because he had no idea what he had gotten himself into, but he also needed to make sure that he was well surrounded by people in order to survive.

A car drove by between them, and when it drove away, there was nothing in the alley.

'He did not attack me out in public!' That was what Kai was thinking. Ultimately, it was the first time Kai had experienced this level of threat from someone else, but it was also the first time his heartbeat suddenly accelerated with intense curiosity.

Walking out of the SmartPoint, Kai glanced at the darkening sky before rushing back to his apartment.

While he really wanted to go hang out at someone else's house for the time being, there was a chance that the thing might attack someone he knew, so the apartment he knew the best was a good place to kill it.

After all, he will have that familiarity advantage, and he can also lure him deep enough to deal with a decisive blow.

Chirp!

Chirp! Chirp!

Next morning!

Kai, who did not have the slightest chance to sleep, looked at the light coming from the window and sighed. The illuminating light was enveloping the whole icefield, and the beautiful scenery was created by the contrast of the building and ice.

[Hidden Quest: Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden quest.]

[Hidden Attribute Rewarded: Common Summon Card]

[Common Summon Card: Combative item from the system, and depending up on the luck of the user, it can summon intelligence from an unknown space to guard the host, and by clearing their quest, host can also gain their allegiance.] (Activates after host crush the card.)

[Host will acquire intelligence avatar that is varied from 1-star to 10-stars.]

"Hmm, let's give it a try then." As Kai was thinking, a card with the deepest impression of the black miasma and the darkest blue color appeared in his hand. When Kai crushed the card with a little force and a brilliant light appeared in his vision, a strange, round-patterned circle appeared before it vanished. Despite the card's ominous appearance, Kai felt warmth emanating from it for some reason.

'Hmm! Where am I...' A kid around the same age as Kai appeared in front of him. The boy's eyes were filled with deep curiosity and a sense of loneliness. "Hello!" As if surprised by what he was saying, the kid covered his lips as he looked at Kai with a little bit of excitement and curiosity brimming out of his visage. "Hello to you, my name is Kai!" Not knowing what to say, Kai decided to introduce himself and found that the kid looked more and more surprised to realize that he was able to understand Kai's words, although he had never learned that language before. "Yeah, but where am I?" This time, the boy did not get surprised and seemed pretty calm as he asked Kai more questions, although he was not familiar with him.

"Sure! I will tell you more about it. But before that, can we drink coffee together?"

"Okay!"

After an hour, Kai came to be acquainted with Belhimer, who was also known as the Death Reaper in his world and also called the Dead Lord. Despite being the most powerful magician in his realm, he ultimately met his demise at the hands of a gang of magicians during a conflict that could have resulted in the destruction of his nation. "Although I am not depressed at all, I am really grateful that I was given another chance here because that body of mine was severely devoid of taste and other senses were severely dulled." The guy looked rather unique and outspoken.

Kai also had a fun time talking with that guy.

"Is this the thing called a laptop? Can I have a look at it?" The man kept asking questions about the object because he was quite curious, and when someone knocked on Kai's door, Belhimer entered the summon space out of concern for Kai's safety. 'I will be taking a bit of your memories to learn more about this world, and don't worry, it will not affect your normal self, so you can continue to be normal.' Before disappearing, something echoed within Kai's mind as he felt a cold sweat at the words of Belhimer's, but soon found that there was no effect on him, even after a few seconds had passed.

"Huh! It's safe." He sighed.

"You really do not have much trust in me, buddy!" Belhimer's words again echoed within his mind as Kai started to get used to being called out like this out of nowhere.

"Obviously! You just asked like you would take my memories, you know?" Kai retorted when the door knock echoed again, and Kai decided to let it go and open the door. "Kai! Who were you talking with just now?" When Kai opened the door, he was met with Mai in her school uniform standing in front of him with her head tilted slightly, looking inside the apartment with a somewhat suspicious expression because Kai was rarely seen with anyone else. 'Haha! Sorry, I was thinking loudly at the moment.' While he truly did not want Mai to become involved in this, Kai laughed as he observed the empty apartment and realized that, thanks to Mai's keen sense, it would not be difficult for her to smell the bloody clothes from yesterday.

"Oh, alright! So pack up and come with me; today we will be having hotpot." Kai's expression brightened as he closed his apartment and walked by Mai's side as they both walked toward her home, feeling quite cold.

"I had some problems!"

"Alright, big brother, I will give you a special lesson tonight!"

"Hehe! Alright?"

"This guy is seriously way too perverted." Bilheimer, thought.

Although being a secret! In actuality, however, Kai had an affair with both Mai's mother and even Risa's mother; as of right now, however, Kai has chosen not to reveal their relationship to either of them.

But at a later date, he might not mind telling them both, at least. "I am not a pervert or anything, and it was Lady Lena who asked to sleep with me." Kai could hear Belhimer's inner thoughts and tried to reason with that guy.

"So you are saying that it was done one-sided and you did not like it." Belhimer conveyed while Kai just sighed, thinking there was no way that he would be able to counter that old man, and decided to keep it silent while on the way.
