Boredom Strategy

After that interaction with the Leviathan, I opted for an approach even someone as stupid as me can accomplish.

I simply decided...to stand still, staring at the wall, that's it, nothing too complex. As soon as Leviathan left, I went to my bed, sat on it, and started staring at the wall.

I stayed like that for hours until it was time to eat, and after eating, I went back to doing the same thing until I felt sleepy and went to sleep. After waking up, I resumed staring at the wall without making almost any movement.

And then Leviathan came to see me, I invited him, offered him my blood, we chatted a bit, and he left. After he left, I went back to staring at the wall with a somewhat lifeless look.

And then I repeated this routine for so long that it must have been almost a month or more. Leviathan appeared a total of 14 times, which means he drank many liters of my blood.

We didn't have sex, I just gave him my blood and we talked about uninteresting subjects, mostly related to food, where Leviathan spoke and I listened with a smile and enthusiastically agreed.

The reason for following this approach is actually something very useful. First, by staying in the room, I'm not in danger, so I won't suffer any pain.

Second, I can wait for one of the 7 to come to me and try to get them on my side. Since only Leviathan has come so far, I just offer blood and conversation.

And the third reason is to bore Beelzebub. Beelzebub said he watched my life almost 23 hours a day, which means he constantly used me as entertainment.

However, if I just stand still, not doing anything like a dead person, he'll get bored and stop observing me, after all, Beelzebub wants to see interesting things, not someone staring at a wall with a lifeless look.

And this boredom is precisely what I'm looking for from him. The more bored he gets with me, the less he'll want to observe me, and the less he observes me, the more freedom of action I'll have.

After all, if he's always observing me, he'll always know what I did, what I'm going to do, and what I'm doing. So most things wouldn't be a secret to him.

But with the wall approach, he'll decide that observing my life isn't worth the effort. Since he's lazy, he'll think it's better to look for another source of entertainment.

Of course, this is just speculation. He may be so lazy that he'll decide not to observe anything else because he doesn't care about the fact that I'm being literally extremely boring.

But even if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter, after all, my focus is to make at least one of them obsessed with me, so obsessed that their life without me is no longer so interesting.

For Leviathan, what drives him is food. Tasty things to experience are his hobby and the reason he continues without getting bored. But after tasting my flavor, no food will satisfy him.

In other words, without me, the only thing that gives him pleasure disappears, because every food he tries will remind him that I exist and that I'm better.

I'm like the forbidden fruit that generates temptation in those who taste it. As for Valac, it's easier to deal with him, as it's just about constantly having sex with him.

In any case, I also need to generate interest in Valac, after all, I need him to give me the Aetheris egg so that I can obtain it again.

In my case, I also got extremely bored staring at the wall, so I decided to spend this time fantasizing about sex. It's one of the few things that still gives me some pleasure.

So I thought it was better to just imagine sex to try to see how to do my best with the 7 than to do nothing. My progress in this area seems significant.

Furthermore, there is a reason why making Beelzebub stop observing me is important. The reason is to use the stone that reveals the true status.

I have the same items in my inventory, so I want to use the stone that reveals the status to see what my real status is. I want to know what is really hidden behind these shitty statuses that I have.

"Hello, little one," I hear Leviathan's voice. I immediately stop looking at the wall like an idiot and look at him with a smile.

"Hi, Leviathan, let's talk about what today?" I get up from the bed and go to him. In a way, I enjoy talking to him. He's colorful, and my world has never regained the colors it should have.

Everything remains opaque, so when I see something colorful like Leviathan, it cheers me up because it indicates that I haven't sunk as deeply into the problems as I initially thought, in addition to adding a more lively factor to my life.

"Today I came here to give you this," he says, moving his hand, and a bouquet appears. Leviathan has become a bit more excited with me as the days passed.

I think it was the 7th time. He had a smile, and part of that cold aura passed. I think it's related to the fact that he's a dragon and, as such, is, so to speak, choosing me.

'I wonder if...I can be so important to him that he would forget his loyalty to Aurora and become loyal to me...' This is theoretically impossible, but it would be interesting. And even if he doesn't stop being loyal to Aurora, it doesn't mean he can't help me.

Just him helping me is already great.

"Thank you very much, Leviathan. It's exactly what I wanted. You hit the mark again," I tell Leviathan, as I had mentioned that I would like to see the fire roses, a rare plant that can be found in this castle.

The reason I want this is quite simple. This is a flower that has already gone extinct. It only exists in this castle, in Valac's garden, and as such, there are only 3 specimens of it, and now one of them has become a bouquet.

This will irritate Valac. It will make him so angry that he will forget everything else and go after whoever committed such an atrocity in his garden. And when he comes to see me, I'll try to obtain his favor while blaming Leviathan.

This way, he will direct his anger at Leviathan, while I have the chance to talk to him without even leaving the room, which is very good for me.

"...You know, Leviathan, these flowers...they're cool and all, but I think you're much more beautiful," I praise him while grabbing a knife and cutting my wrist, bathing the flowers with my blood.

"Would you like to try?" I pull a rose that's dripping with my blood and offer it to him. The roses have a very beautiful magma-red color, and my blood joins them, making them even more beautiful.

"Of course, little one," he says, taking the rose and eating it.

'With this, it's a guarantee that Valac will know I'm not lying.' This flower has a characteristic that Valac explains to Ayla in the game. It sticks to others.

Like super glue, it's not visible, but at this moment, the pollen of this flower is stuck to Leviathan's lips. In other words, the proof that I'm not lying is right there.

And there are only two ways to remove the pollen of this flower: the first is to use concentrated magic on it to clean it, which Leviathan won't do since he doesn't know how. The second is an extremely high temperature, which is the opposite of Leviathan, who emits coldness.

This flower sticks more strongly to things in cold environments and breaks apart easily in heat. In other words, the weakness of the fire rose is extreme heat, and it fixes itself more firmly to things in the cold.

"Leviathan, I think the beauty of the roses is temporary... I can't take care of them here, so I'll give them to you. I thank you for showing them to me, they're very beautiful."

"...Okay, little one," he says, disappearing with them, probably taking them to his room to eat later, since they have my blood on them.

"Leviathan, would you like to go on a date? I wanted to go out..., but I'm afraid to leave the room. But if it's with you, I have the confidence that I won't get hurt."

"I've always dreamed of going on a date with someone fun, to walk peacefully before having something more."

'When did I become so lying, I wonder...' This makes me feel dirty, as if sin is more and more impregnated in my body with each passing second.

"We can do that, but it'll have to be later. I'm busy lately, so we'll have to see about that, but don't worry, I'll give you a date in my area."

'...' That should do.

"...Tsk, I have to go, little one," Leviathan clicks his tongue and disappears. As soon as he's gone, I can't keep the smile and quickly my face becomes a Poker Face, becoming completely neutral and even somewhat apathetic.

As soon as he disappeared, all that was left was this ugly, opaque world. I have no reason to smile, so I just walk to the bed, sit on it, and start observing the wall while fantasizing about sex in my mind.

It's all I can do and all I know how to do at the moment. I'll just wait until someone comes to talk to me.
