Chapter 131 130. Cursed.
"..... Eshwar!" I heard Henry's worried voice, and I wanted to respond, but my magical power had run out, and this unknown energy had taken a heavy toll on my body. I could feel my head spinning and my eyes rolled as the world around me started to sway.
SNAP
THUMP
'.....' I abruptly lost consciousness and couldn't think because so many things were happening in my body that I had no control over; even now, something was happening in my body that I had no idea about, but I could remember its 'feeling' because of my knowledge I received from Nhifrogr, the Golden Dragon.
It was extremely unfamiliarly familiar feeling, it was the feeling of 'that' energy which was now much more tame, my head hurt and I felt something empty near my heart, that was a bit too familiar feeling which I didn't feel after being reborn in this world.
DING
[??? (Cursed) activated.]
(AN: This trait will be in third person! I'll change it to third person in the middle, as less noticeably as possible.)
'....' I simply stared at the notification window spinning in the void, I curled up, hugged my knees, and continued to spin in nothingness, my consciousness was dragged elsewhere again, it had the same feeling of not being comfortable or uncomfortable, like I was just.... there, in nothingness.
"Quinn! You can't just do nothing! You are a man!" A sweet woman's voice rang in my ears.
'Quinn?' I opened my eyes wide in surprise and found myself in a semi-lit gloomy 20-foot room with a blonde-haired woman in front of me.
She was 6 feet tall with a hourglass figure and had bright ocean blue eyes, she looked like a princess from a fantasy romance novel, she had her arms on her waist as she glared down at me, if it was fiction, smoke would have come out of her nostrils as she breathed sharply.
I felt my heartbeat speed up(?) at her sight, even though I was feeling gloomy just before she arrived....
'Who? This damn woman! Where is Quinn?' I roared inwardly, but my voice didn't seem to come out.
".... You don't understand Elvira, I awakened a supporter class!! The worst class of all the possible classes!" 'I' grumbled at Elvira.
'Elvira?'
"You! You're a man! How dare you hole up in room and cry?" Elvira snarled at me, angrily.
'Wh..'
"Quinn Walker! You better get your a*s out! Now!" Elvira roared.
'Quinn? Where!'
".... our 'holed up' date was cancelled because of you..." Elvira mumbled under her breath.
Suddenly, when I heard her mumbling my heart pained, I hurriedly stood up and walked towards her with a tensed apologetic expression.
"I'm sorry Elvira, I really am, I was just depressed by the fact that I can't protect anybody with my awakened class." I apologized.
'What? What am I even doing? …...'
'Elvira is getting hurt because of me!'
"I am so sorry! We'll have our 'holed up' date tomorrow, for sure!" I said enthusiastically.
"You better!" Elvira said with a bright smile, held my hands and dragged my out of the gloomy room into the balcony where cold air flitted on both of their faces while moon shone beautifully.
He glanced at Elvira and admired her beauty under the moon light, he was simply mesmerized and her sight, it was enough for his heart to warm up, though she was staring at the bright moon and acted as if she didn't notice his gaze on her, her rosy cheeks gave her away, he noticed that and smiled a little at her adorable actions and leaned forward while she was still staring at the moon.
CLEEENKK
The rails on the balcony creaked as his weight slowly shifted forward, Elvira flinched slightly and gripped the railings as she felt his breath on her cheek, and before she could scold him for making her too flustered, he gave her a peck on the cheek and jerked his head back.
"!" Elvira was taken aback because she assumed he was just teasing her because it had been a year since they began dating and this was the first time he had ever made a move on her.
Elvira was a 19-year-old young woman who had been his friend for about 11 years and a year since they began dating because of their mutual feelings, even though the world had messed up with the system and monsters that killed both of their parents at the age of 15, they found courage to survive with each other, she was an awakened warrior and he was a recently awakened supporter, even though it was regarded as a trashy class she wanted him to stand tall.
"..... I'll return back inside now, you come in too, we have to get ready to fight monsters tomorrow." He mumbled and walked back in with a flushed face.
'Even though he was the one who made the first move, I can't believe he is flustered.' Elvira thought.
"Oh, my adorable Quinn." Elvira giggled at his expense.
"Don't do that!!" Quinn grumbled and walked back in with a light heart.
'I have to get there early and kill as many monsters as I can so that Elvira doesn't have to work too hard for us..... Wait, what?'
"Uck!" he held his head and crouched down.
"Quinn!" Elvira who walked back in, rushed towards him with a worried expression.
"Who?" 'I' mumbled out. (AN: 'I' is intentional.)
"Huh?" Elvira looked at him in bewilderment.
'Who...'
"Uck?" 'Quinn' groaned as his head hurt.
"Quinn! I think you got a headache because you acted out too much." Elvira said jokingly on the outside, but was very worried on about him inwardly.
"I think so too, hahaha." He laughed drily and made his way towards the room with the help of Elvira.
'Why.... am I feeling his emotions, her emotions and thoughts at the same time?' 'I' thought.
"Huu..." Quinn breathed out and lied on the bed facing the ceiling fan while Elvira placed pillows in the middle of the bed and lied on the other side of the bed.
"..... Is it really necessary? I told you I won't do anything." Quinn said.
"Yes, it is. And the problem is not you..." Elvira said.
"I don't know if I'll be able to sleep properly with my hands to myself....." Elvira mumbled under her breath with a flushed face.
BA-BUMP (6x)
"Ahem." Quinn's heart started to beat loud, so loud that even Elvira could hear it.
"G-good night." Quinn said and closed his eyes without waiting for her.
BWOOOMMM
As if a soul leaving the body, 'I' was shot out from a space between Quinn and Elvira before being dragged towards Quinn.
SWOOSH
