Narration:12th Day on Murim World
The sun blazed overhead, its scorching rays pouring down on the dusty path winding through the vast plains of the Murim world. A tiny figure shuffled along, stumbling with every few steps, his shoulders drooping under the weight of exhaustion.
Ahmed's tiny seven-year-old body wobbled, his legs trembling with fatigue. His hair was messy, and his face was plastered with dust and sweat. He panted, his chest rising and falling as he dragged his feet forward."Chniya halmasiba haathi... (What kind of calamity is this...)" he muttered, his voice weak.
His eyes darted to the side, catching a glimpse of the floating figure beside him. The Wicked Malware System hovered effortlessly, her short black hair dancing with the wind, her crimson eyes sparkling with mischief. She looked perfectly at ease, arms crossed as she watched Ahmed struggle.
He glared at her, his face scrunched up in irritation."Hey... You have a body now, right?"
She arched an eyebrow, her lips curling into a sly grin."Oh? Did the little one finally realize?" 😈
Ahmed's eye twitched, but he took a deep breath, trying to control his temper."I need her help... Just this once...
He forced a smile, his eyes wide and pleading."Please... can you carry me on your back? Just for a little while?"
The Wicked Malware System blinked, her mouth falling open. She stared at him, utterly speechless."W-wait... Are you... begging me?"
Ahmed felt his face heat up. He looked away, his cheeks turning red."...Yes."
The System's eyes widened, her face twitching before she burst into laughter."Oh, this is rich! The mighty Ahmed... begging me for help!" 😈🤣
Ahmed's shoulders slumped."This was a mistake... I knew she'd mock me..."
But then, her laughter stopped. She floated closer, her expression softening."You know... You did say that I'm yours, and we're stuck together forever."
Ahmed looked up, his eyes wide with surprise."Huh?"
The System's gaze softened even more, her voice dropping to a whisper."If anything happens to me, you won't find anyone special like me to troll and mock."
Ahmed's jaw dropped."You... You actually care!?"
She looked away, her cheeks flushing ever so slightly."D-don't get the wrong idea! I just don't want to get bored." 😈💢
Ahmed's heart skipped a beat. He grinned, his eyes sparkling."Then... you'll carry me?"
She sighed, rolling her eyes dramatically."Fine... Sweet pie." 😈🍰
Ahmed blinked, his face turning red."D-did you just... call me sweet pie?"
The System turned her head away, her cheeks turning pink."I-I didn't say anything!" 😈😳
Ahmed's lips quivered, his shoulders shaking before he burst into laughter."Pfft—HAHAHAHA! Oh man, this is priceless!" 😂😂
The System huffed, her face beet red."Laugh all you want. Just get on already!"
She floated down, turning her back to him and crouching slightly. Ahmed hesitated, his eyes wide with disbelief."She's... really doing it...?"
He grinned from ear to ear, his tiny body wobbling as he climbed onto her back. She stood up, supporting his weight with ease. Ahmed wrapped his arms around her neck, his face pressed against her soft hair."It's... actually comfortable..."
The System's face turned redder."D-don't get used to it, okay? It's just for today." 😈😤
Ahmed smirked, leaning his chin on her shoulder."Awww... I knew you had a soft spot for me."
She growled, her voice low and dangerous."Say one more word and I'll drop you." 😈💢
Ahmed zipped his lips, his shoulders trembling as he held back his laughter."I can't believe this... She's actually carrying me... and blushing!?"
They walked along the dirt path, the System's steps light and graceful. Her hair danced with the wind, brushing against Ahmed's face. He closed his eyes, finally able to relax."Ahh... This isn't so bad..."
After a while, the System spoke, her voice soft."First, we need to find a village to rest."
Ahmed nodded, his cheek pressed against her shoulder."We need to find one soon... I'm exhausted."
The System rolled her eyes."No, you need to find one. Did you forget? I'm invisible to everyone except you." 😈👻
Ahmed's eyes widened."Oh... Right..."
She continued, her voice calm."Here, the currency is 300 tales. You can use it once you reach the village."
Ahmed's jaw dropped."W-wait... You're giving me money?"
She sighed dramatically."Yes... Consider it my gift for today." 😈🎁
Ahmed's eyes sparkled."Wow... You're actually nice when you're not trolling me!"
The System huffed, her cheeks pink."Don't push your luck, Ahmed." 😈💢
Ahmed grinned, tightening his arms around her neck."Thanks... for giving me a day off from your teasing and mocking."
The System's face softened, her eyes shining as she whispered to herself,"He's... too cute when he begs me..." 😈❤️
Ahmed blinked."Huh? Did you say something?"
She jolted, her face turning crimson."N-no! Nothing at all! Shut up!" 😈💢
Ahmed laughed, his voice echoing through the plains."Oh man... This is the best day ever!" 😂🎉
The System's lips curled into a smile. She whispered so softly that he didn't hear,"Enjoy it while it lasts, Ahmed... You have no idea what's coming..." 😈✨
Epilogue:
The sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink. Ahmed slept soundly on the System's back, his tiny body relaxed and at ease.
The System glanced over her shoulder, her eyes soft as she watched him sleep. Her lips curled into a gentle smile."You really are... special, Ahmed." 😈❤️
She continued walking, her steps light as she carried him through the plains. But her eyes gleamed with mischief, a wicked grin spreading across her face."Enjoy your break... Because tomorrow... I'm coming back full force." 😈🔥
The wind howled, carrying her laughter through the plains. But Ahmed slept peacefully, unaware of the chaos awaiting him.
His nightmare... was far from over. 😈🌌
