Everyone Else Has a System

She then made a slightly uninterested look as she rejected me,"I don't want to lose that trauma though. It is what makes me feel like I have emotions. Sorry, I don't think I will follow your plan."

Well, it wasn't as I did not anticipate this. Due to her trauma, there is this cautious behaviour of hers that makes her a hard person to deal with. No matter how many things you tell her, until you can show her a definite proof, she is not going to believe you.

That too after a lot of talking and explaining.

"Well, I am not going to make you forget your trauma but instead I am going to make you strong enough to deal with that. I have a certain ability that allows me to do exactly that," I spoke as I looked at her with a smile.

"What are you trying to say?" She spoke as she narrowed her eyes at me and I didn't speak anything for a few moments as I gave her time to rethink whatever I just said.

It was in her nature as well to recalculate things over and over before she comes to a conclusion.

"What if you are trying to fool me and place a curse on me?" she asked as she glared at me before I explained,"do I need to do that? With the powers I have I could easily do that without really needing to ask your permission. Shouldn't it be clear that I am trying to be reasonable here?"

I wondered if it is going to take a lot more time,'Maybe I should just use my spell… Well, let's wait a little. I shouldn't stoop to my old ways this easily. Let's try to be a little nicer.'

After all the things she had been through, it won't be nice to force her to do something she is sceptical about.

"Well… I still feel something is wrong about it. You are being too nice to a stranger you just met. I am sorry I can't bring myself to trust you," she spoke and I stepped up from the throne making her shriek a little before she firmed herself and looked at me.

"If I want…" I spoke as I moved one step at a time towards her. With each step that I was taking, I saw her shivering a little bit more and I sighed,"... I can not only solve your current problem but also help you get strong enough to get out of here and visit the Demon Realm. Though, I am warning you that I am going to kill most of the Demons there so it won't be a vacation. I just would take you there so that you can see that place one last time. Though no one you know is alive there. Neither your first love, nor the one who enslaved you."

Speaking that I looked at her a bit shaken as her eyes showed traces of horror and I spoke,

"Looks like your measure to hide your trauma is failing."

She knew what I said was true and it made her more afraid as the feelings began to take over. The trigger was the mention of the Demon Realm and visiting that place once again.

Though before the trauma could take over her

"[Rejection Fragment: I reject your inability to defeat that trauma]" I spoke as I fell on the ground immediately coughing blood…. A copious amount of blood at once.

My eyes turned red and I felt like my body would explode from the inside. My head hurts and so does my stomach.

"Aur…roa…reverse… heal.." I muttered as I singalled my brain to activate healing which it did immediately. There was no Spirit Energy in the area, so this energy wasn't going to work… but I could use Death Energy to heal myself at the cost of some of my own powers.

Normally I would have never used it, but with the sudden loss of power and blood, I had to use it or else I might have died.

It didn't take much time before I gained my powers back to normal. All my senses started working normally again and I got on my back. I peeked at Lust standing there astonished as she looked at me with a bit of a surprised gaze.

"Well…. Looks like you are fine… haha… " I spoke with a slight chuckle as I realised that I still can't use my fragment as freely as I thought.

"It was a curse placed at the Sacrifice of an SSS-Grade Monster's Life Force!! There were also a thousand monster cores that were used in this ritual… he even sacrificed half of his soul to make sure I never get away from him… just how… how come you removed it so easily… without any loss!!!!" she shouted in astonishment as she looked at me.

Hearing her words I realised that it wasn't my powers that I overestimated but it was her curse that I underestimated… still..

"Just what the f*ck was that curse? How can someone do that much to you? Just what exactly did you do to him?" I asked because I was really curious. To place that much big of a curse for such a small thing… Was he a psychopath or something?

​ "Well… since you saved me. I guess, it won't be fair to hide things from you," she muttered before helping me stand up. She held me in her arms before walking towards the throne.

'It feels awkward….' I thought as I was held by her in her arms.

"Well. The original curse was supposed to make him give all the powers. That SSS-Grade Monster's power, that 1000 monster cores and also my own life force, everything was supposed to give him immortality… though there was something else in that spell…" she became quite for a few moments before continuing,

"You need the person's permission to gain that immortality. Nobody anticipated that and… I obviously rejected his claim, thereby breaking the spell. Obviously he was fumed by that, so he used all that energy from that spell, rather than letting it escape he used that on me with whatever the first thought that came in his mind. The result was… well you know the rest."

She then placed me on the throne as she then stepped back and then bowed on her knees in front of me.

"I, Princess Kurti of the Red Demons, pledge my life and loyalty to you. My lord, Reaper."
