Re: Player

Sin of Lust.

My sweetheart darling. My number one NPC in the entire world of Zarraf.

She was my love at first kill.

Why kill? Because killing her always dropped the best gears.

Unlike other NPCs, she had the power to come back to full life even after being killed completely. This was because of her ability to split her body into multiple parts, each functioning on its own.

It wasn't a cloning skill that allows you to create a copy of yourself, but more like a skill that allows you to divide your entire existence from the original into two or more. And the sin of lust obviously used it over herself multiple times.

Perhaps a dozen times or more, enough to cover quite an amount of the continent.

Though as anyone could have guessed, that skill not just created a copy but an entirely new existence similar to the original. Which gave rise to a conflict, which led to a kind of self doubt for the sin of lust herself.

Her 'copies' started believing that they were the original, and began moving with their own goals and objectives. Worst case was when half of the 'copies' thought they should kill each other, leaving only a single sin of lust in existence.

And now, the original who was exhausted after using that skill was hiding somewhere on this planet, away from civilization.

'I know where she is going to be in 7 years from now on, but right now… I wonder where the original body is?' I thought as I looked at the description again. Given how active this 'sin of lust' is, I doubt she is the original one.

"Mr. JOSH!!!!" Geralt shouted as he reached closer to me with his sword, but paused halfway as his eyes reached the threads stabilizing the life of that child.

As for Aisha, she was already behind me, with her hand almost to my neck, stopped by a bunch of threads that I created when she was behind me.

I kept thinking about the sin of lust while stabilizing the condition of that child. Since it was an enchantment, it wouldn't be hard to fix it. Though if I undo it completely, the sin of lust would be notified of it.

Not a problem if she decides to come to me, but wouldn't be funny if she runs away.

'So keeping that in mind, let's first stabilize him,' I thought before healing his body and mind to about 99%. Since the enchantment was strong, just a percent of it could outlive the immune system of the boy.

'This should give him about a week before he gets sick again.'

Within the next few minutes, the boy's condition became better, as his face regained the normal complexion. The surrounding aura also decreased considerably.

Geralt and Aisha's expressions changed drastically as they noticed the changes. I still didn't unbind Aisha's hands, but it doesn't seem like she was even noticing that.

A few more minutes before I confirmed a few things before I let those threads go.

"Phew… it would have been terrible if I were even a bit late," I spoke with a slight smile as I looked at that child opening his eyes.

White eyes like diamonds. His hair, whiter than snow, seemed to glow a little. Even though he was no older than 15, he seemed like a sage with decades of experience.

"Where… is she?" He asked as he turned his head slowly towards me. His eyes looked deep into mine, as if seeing through my existence, and somehow… he seemed sad.

"Master-" Geralt was about to speak, but I raised my hand, stopping him in between.

"The Mermaid Queen?" I asked as I looked at him and he shook his head in a 'no'. His eyes seemed quite calm for the pain he was in a few moments ago.

"Not her. That Angel. Where is she? The one searching for the Heaven's Wheel," he spoke as he looked at me. His eyes seemingly sad as he saw my face containing no answer to his question.

"The Heaven's Wheel?" I asked as I looked at him. It was the first time that I had heard of it in my two lives.

"I… do not know what it is. But she was searching for it. Desperate for the person who has it. Shouting that only 'he' can save her world. I saw her pain… I saw her coming down to this world… "

My eyes widened a little. An Angel descended on this planet? This early? As far as I have known, no angel should be able to come down right now.

"She broke that taboo!" And then I realized as I looked at that boy, whose eyes were quite sad. He looked at me with a slight surprise as he asked,

"You know of Angels' taboo?"

An Angel and the Mermaid Queen.

I closed my eyes for a couple of seconds. And then, I stood up, releasing Aisha's hand, before turning towards Geralt.

"Take me to an enclosed room. Somewhere where no one will disturb me," I spoke with a serious look.

[Charm!]

He nodded immediately before he started walking out of the room. I gave a side look to that white-haired child,

"I will be back in a few minutes."

The child nodded as I left from there, following Geralt towards an empty room. On my instructions, Geralt closed the room from outside, leaving me alone as I took out an orb from my space.

Activating it with mana, I connected it with the orb that the original body had.

A few minutes passed and a hologram of 'Wesker' appeared in front of me. He looked at me with a serious look as he asked,

"How serious?"

"7 out of 10. An Angel appeared," I answered as his eyes widened for a moment. He paused and began thinking before asking,

"An Angel right now, huh? Do you know the purpose?"

"She descended. Was trying to find something called 'The Heaven's Wheel'. Saying only 'he' can save it," I used simpler sentences, as the mana consumption of the transmission was no joke.

His eyes narrowed at me as he spoke." If a fate weaver is involved, then it could easily reach 10. All right… we cannot mess this up. I'll come."

And I nodded. A case like this requires [Return!] ability that only the original possesses. If we mess this one up, we can lose quite a lot without even knowing how.

-Wheeeeezzzz!!!!!

A cold wind of mana blew as about hundreds of arrays began forming in front of me. Took about a dozen seconds before a portal opened, and he came from the otherside.

"Hurry! We have only a few seconds!" He shouted as his eyes connected with mine. And in a flash, his memories filled in my mind. Everything that he saw, or he did, was passed on to me. And it was the same for him as he looked at me.

And in the next moment, I rushed towards the other side of the unstable portal that was connected to the Border Town. My heartbeat rose at an insane rate before calming down.

I felt like my entire body was being torn and rejoined over and over again. Though in the end, I reached here in one piece.

"That son of a…" I sighed before changing my form to Wesker.
