chapter 7
7 – Mamang is precious (1)
After enjoying a date with Aisha until late in the evening, both of my parents were waiting for me when I returned home. My mother greeted me with a bright smile, but my father scolded me briefly and dignifiedly.
“I hope you haven’t forgotten what I said yesterday.”
She didn’t say anything more because the archwitch took it herself, but her eyes were filled with worry. No, I mean I’m really weak at things like this.
As I saw off Aisha, who returned with a satisfied expression, and entered my room, I received a surprising news.
[ You have earned the achievement ‘Her first date is mine!’ ]
[ You get a bonus to all stats. ]
“What!?”
Unknowingly, fostering exploded at the first-ever achievement, a truly rare and unconventional reward. I opened the status to check the achievement rewards so far.
[Name: Luatir Pyrosis]
[ Title: First Master ]
[ Stamina : 12 (+2) ]
[ HP : 15 (+4) ]
[ Strength : 12 (+2) ]
[ Intelligence: 14 (+4) ]
[ Agility: 15 (+2) ]
[ Luck: 50 (+1) ]
[Skills: Lunatic Soul, Master’s Divinity, Tradition, Ice-type Magic (Beginner), Thunder-type Magic (Beginner), Martial Arts (Beginner) ]
Not only did all stats increase by 1, but even luck increased! This amount was much higher than the stat increase that could be received from the prologue achievement.
‘Could this be one of the regular routes?’
Having achievements means that it is one of the directions the production company intended.
However, during the first class, I did quite a bit of stealing and drinking Aisha’s Ignis, and immediately fell asleep and couldn’t do anything.
Besides, I couldn’t complete Aisha’s unique magic.
I thought it might be a newly created route while possessing it. That’s why a character’s mistake can mess with the regular route I was trying to take.
‘Then it gets more complicated.’
Leaving the road I know and leaking into another road for a while is less risky, but if the road I knew was destroyed, that would be a very different story.
In the original story, once you decide to go down one route, the possibility of heading to the other routes disappears.
If the same rule applies now, it means that the route I know may not apply until I go to the academy in 6 years.
Then what will be my true ending? Although not everyone could be happy, it was a charming and touching ending. However, the road to the true ending has already been twisted.
‘Hey, whatever happens.’
Isn’t it the route that I jumped into out of curiosity thinking that it might be a new route anyway? If he really intended to clear it in the same way, it would be correct to reject Aisha’s offer.
‘But that’s not fun.’
Yeah, it’s no fun. One of the reasons I was able to play Lunatic Souls without getting tired of it for 5 years was that no matter which way I went, that much fun was guaranteed and there was an ending based on my choice.
What kind of fun is it if you play the same game as you used to possess? On the contrary, if I can experience a new route that I haven’t experienced since possessing it, it’s nothing short of luck.
The problem is that the game I possessed is Lunatic Soul, which has a bad ending.
…I feel anxious for no reason.

The next day, Aisha’s air strikes continued. She wakes up and in front of her is a peerless beauty lying beside her.
Also, have you ever experienced a situation where a smile melts away while looking at me? Five stars!
“Good morning~”
She almost passed out again just like that. How the hell did she hurt her friend?
“What the hell are you doing?”
“I came to give you a lesson, but he was sleeping.”
What lessons? In bed? Uh-huh, this gentleman.
“Don’t keep teasing me.”
“Hee hee hee! Did you catch it?”
“I can’t help but be blatantly like this.”
I pushed her aside and she quickly rose from her bed. In the meantime, she swallowed her tears twelve times in her heart.
“Master, more than that, I suddenly had a question yesterday. May I ask you a question?”
“Yes~ It is the duty of a teacher to answer any questions of a student. What?”
“Why are you leaving the castle and staying with my family this time?”
She pressed her mouth shut at my question. In fact, she already knew why she was staying with her countess. But there is a huge difference between what I simply know and what she says herself.
It is a basic common sense for gamers that the decisive divergence depends on whether or not the information actually appears.
“Can you guess anything?”
“Assuming.”
“Try it.”
“Is it dragon-related?”
She gave a small nod of her head with a determined expression.
Not only the Great Witch of Cold, but also the ‘Great Witch of Flame’ and ‘The Great Witch of Dark Cloud’ each protect a specific area to prevent enemies threatening humanity.
Among them, Aisha Rupeltert, the Great Witch of the Cold, is preventing the invasion of the northern enemy, the Balaur.
“Recently, the movements of the lizards are unusual. It seems that there has been a new king.”
“A king? The dragon king…”
“I subdued them not too long ago. However, it seems that a talented enough person has reappeared to fill that position. Besides, that guy is even putting a new variable called Yongin into his powers.”
It was exactly the same as what I knew. Dragons are a newly created race by grafting a dragon’s soul into a human body.
Originally, those who insisted on only old dragon magic came up with a plan after they were struggling against one archwitch.
They were dangerous beings who used human power and ancient dragon magic at the same time, and even Aisha said it was very difficult to deal with them when colliding with them.
“I missed a weak dragon during the invasion not too long ago. I thought he would have fled to the nearest place in the north to recover since he was wounded.”
“So you came to my family.”
“Right. It’s clear that I’m starting to feel his presence little by little. In just a few more days, we should be able to pinpoint his location.”
Then wouldn’t it be nice to move quickly and catch it? Then, wouldn’t the tragedy that would befall the family of Count Peirosis disappear?
“Is there any way to find out a little more… Faster?”
Three days have passed since the beginning of the possession, and there are only four days left before the next tragedy. Exactly four days later, the dragon she missed will raid Count Fay Rossis’ family to restore her powers.
Originally, Aisha alone could deal with at least one dragon. However, the problem is that ‘Laminasis’, the next dragon king candidate, comes to save Yongin.
In the original story, even Aisha couldn’t overcome laminasis and ended up returning to the castle.
In the process, all but his father and some servants who went to attend the conference were massacred. Of course… Lit Mamando.
‘f*ck. How hard I worked to find a turning point where I didn’t see that.’
You said that when the main character died, Riet Maman would appear and offer words of consolation. She appears in a translucent soul state, not in that normal alive state.
As if she was always watching over me, just like when she was alive, even after she died.
From my point of view, it’s a scene I don’t want to see again, even though it warms a part of my heart.
By the way, from this time on, Luatir will show a ruthless personality to Padlip, especially those who curse at his mother. I’m going to make a seizure button in my heart.
The name of the skill is also ‘That will be your last words’. To be honest, it was quite helpful because it had the crazy performance of doubling all stats during the 5 action opportunities.
But if you can save it, it’s good to save it. You don’t have to lose your parents after possessing.
When I was playing the game, there were only a few branching options in the prologue, so even though I looked through all the options, there was no way to stop Yongin from attacking.
But now?
It might be possible now that the route has already been greatly distorted in the prologue. And another possibility was Aisha’s growth.
If Aisha came to Count Fay Rosis’ family in the original work after completing only one of her unique magics, then it is understandable that she was robbed by the next dragon king candidate. Because her true value begins with ‘borrowing the future’.
‘Shall I tell you everything and ask for your cooperation?’
She thought about it for a moment, but then she dismissed the option.
If I reveal this, the root really goes in a direction I don’t know. Then, she naturally has to induce Aisha to stop Yong-in from attacking Countess Fay Rossis.
You shouldn’t wait until Yongin meets Aisha. Because Ritt Maman died before then.
Then again, it’s best to figure out Yongin’s identity first and attack first. Or would she take Riet Maman out of her mansion for a while.
“Master. Is there any way to find Yongin faster?”
“Huh? I would like to do that too if possible. But you won’t know until you recover.”
“Is that so… Then there is, right?”
I grabbed Ayesha’s hand and pushed her face closer to her. For some reason, Aisha’s face turned red.
“Have you ever… Ever heard of a gun?”
