Ch.87 : Think About Yourself

Nic sat silently, then looked at Zeta who was also sitting silently in front of him as if waiting for something.

"huft.. Zeta seriously, how can I regain consciousness?"

Zeta laughed, she was completely lost in thought with Nic.

"Mr. Nic... ah, that's wrong, I mean you're Mr. stupid. That's your choice to sacrifice your soul, so don't blame me."

Nic sighed and looked at him seriously then wanted to activate his god skill.

"Mr. stupid.. you can't use the power of the system here.. this is your subconscious but it's completely mine, you can't do as you please like when you're conscious, so just follow me"

Nic lazily tried to follow Zeta so she could regain consciousness, after thinking about it, it was just a slap, how could it hurt?

But.. Nic was wrong, the slap that Zeta meant was not with her soft hand.. But with thousands of iron fists appearing around Zeta.

"Zeta... What the hell is this.."

Zeta patted Nic's head with his usual hand, "this is so you wake up quickly, Mr. Nic~"

"Zetaaaa please I'm going to die!".

Nic tried to run but couldn't because Zeta was in control of this place, no matter how far he ran, Zeta would still appear near him.

"Ready, sir Nic, one or two... TASTE THIS!"

The iron fist quickly slapped Nic all over his body. Face, body, legs, and everything.

On the other side, precisely in the hospital.

Kiara and Daniella were shocked because Nic's heartbeat seemed to fluctuate, making them panic and immediately call the doctor.

The doctor quickly came and saw his condition.

"Is he dreaming? He looks scared," Daniella said.

The doctor said this was good, signs of life were becoming more visible and it looked like he would regain consciousness soon, and told them not to panic.

Back to Nic.

Nic was lying helplessly

"Zeta.. enough! It hurts so much! Is it still not enough!?" Nic tries to get up.

Zeta looked at Nic and then said in a low voice, "actually nothing will change from that slap."

Hearing that, Nic felt like he was being played by Zeta, he immediately got up without caring about the pain and pushed Zeta.

"What do you mean!? Are you playing with me Zeta?"

Zeta explains that she wasn't playing with him, but she wanted Nic to realize how terrible it is to sacrifice oneself without thinking, and what Nic gets in return? Only pain.

"Mr. Nic, I want to tell you something, and I hope that after knowing this, you will continue your mission quickly."

Nic was shocked, Zeta's face was very serious. "What do you want to tell me?".

"Actually, the one you should save is me... not that Goddess."

Hearing that, Nic immediately fell silent, what did he mean... why was it the system that Nic had to save instead of the Goddess of love.

"Zeta..What do you mean? Don't joke around.. My head is already full of missions and this and that, now you're talking about weird things like that?".

Zeta just smiled and told Nic to just remember, and it turns out that Nic's soul was guarded by Zeta from the start so that it wouldn't be lost and now he has returned it.

Nic became more and more confused, it was as if he had been given a responsibility that he himself didn't know why he had to do, after that Nic finally returned to his world.

At the hospital, the doctor saw that Nic's heartbeat was becoming more stable and his body was starting to move, his eyes slowly opening.

Kiara held his hand and slowly called out to her sister, "Nic... you're finally awake."

Nic came to, saw that he was in the hospital then suddenly he sat up and looked at them. "Ah thank goodness.. Nova, you're okay"

Hearing that, everyone there was shocked. They had just woken up but were more concerned about other people's condition than their own.

"HEY NIC! WHERE'S YOUR BRAIN? LOOK AT YOUR CONDITION, YOU'RE ALMOST DEAD, YOU KNOW!". Kiara was really angry.

Daniella added, "Nic Kiara is right, you shouldn't keep putting yourself in danger... you have to remember what will happen to your family later, Nic...".

Hearing that, Nic was pensive, finally he realized that he was too serious to make other people worry, luckily his girlfriends and parents didn't know about this yet.

While sitting down, Nic apologized to everyone.

Then on the other side, Nova lowered her head while crying, she apologized to Nic for causing him harm, and she also thanked him for helping her.

Nic smiled, "Nova.. I promised you to take you to a place that will make you happy.. so that you don't have to endanger yourself again on that hill.. if I don't help you, How will your mother feel later?"

Nova looked at her mother, her mother cried and once again thanked Nic, she admitted that Nova was the only one she had after losing her husband... if Nova also left, who would she be whether or not you can survive in this world.

"I don't mind.. Not responding to my treatment, you guys should go home because it looks like the weather will get worse, it's almost midnight too.."

With a heavy heart, they finally asked for permission to go home, the doctor had also left, leaving the three of them alone.

Kiara asked, "Nic, what is your heart made of?"

"What's wrong, sis? You're exaggerating, haha" Nic joked.

Daniella, who is usually gentle with Nic, suddenly pulled him, surprising Kiara. "Nic... listen! Even though you are strong... even though you feel like you always have to protect others, think about yourself first. Don't... don't... regret it later.."

Daniella cried as if she didn't want to lose Nic, whom she considered like her own little brother. Kiara hugged him from behind and said that they would always be by Nic's side as older siblings.

Nic just smiled when he heard that and promised that no matter how crazy and reckless he was, he would never leave his beloved sister.

Finally, after Nic paid for the treatment, they returned home normally without their parents suspecting anything.

In Daniella's room,

"Kiara, I just found out Nic has that much money," Daniella was curious.

Kiara also just kept quiet while trying to sleep, "don't worry about it... no matter how stupid he is, he won't steal."
