154 – Confusion
Her delicate white arms wrapped around my neck.
At first, that arm felt extremely warm.
“Why… Didn’t change to the first one… Did it change to the second one…?”
For that one question.
Kude deudeuk―
It turned into a white rope that choked my throat and slowly put pressure on me.
‘Uh…How? Could you see all of them? So you’ve been pretending you didn’t know? That?!’
No… It can’t be… I distinctly remember wondering what ability it was every time I got a talent. It can’t have been all acting.
Then what is…? I’m sure I’m missing something.
I had a gut feeling that if I couldn’t deal with her properly at this moment, the distance with her would rapidly increase.
And if I get so far away that she doesn’t call me, I will face a punishment worse than her death. Trapped in that dark space forever, alone until the end of the world…
Toduk- Toduk-
When I came to that conclusion, I felt goose bumps all over my body.
It was a very fleeting moment, but her mind was jumbled and entangled in endless confusion.
‘…Hold on. Don’t stop thinking Why did this happen?’
Even if I tried to think about it, reason couldn’t work properly in a state of chaos. It felt like the world was turning upside down and slowly bending. And rolls down
– Attribute [Calmity] Is activated.
– Resist the status abnormality [Confusion]!
But as always, [Calm] Kept me focused.
‘hahahaha- crazy…? You’ve been in a really strange state… Come to your senses. Come to think of it, there are a few puzzling things.’
Let’s go up to the station. What did Yeonhee say in the last question?
‘The second one, not the first one… I definitely focused on the order.’
I could have said it without much thought, but what if you really can only figure out the order?
If the list of possible summons is something like a question mark besides the order…
‘But can I? If you can see everything, you can see everything, what do you see and what can you not see? Is it your summon?’
But if it’s correct, it’s like… It was a similar pattern to how I can change jobs or use skills only when I fulfill a few conditions.
“… Sunwolah… Why don’t you say anything… Ran is next to you…”
(I’ll tell you exactly what this guy said. Master. He hasn’t said anything yet.)
Damn it Ran. Do not have useless abilities! Please give me a moment
Now- Let’s wrap things up.
1. Yeonhee couldn’t see the details on my status bar.
2. But now I can see part of it.
3. That leaves me with strong doubts that I silently skipped the first impersonation possible list.
‘These three things are certain with high probability. What I missed was that I overlooked that her ability would stay in the past.’
I was complacent. Her abilities must have improved as she leveled up and accumulated experience points.
Maybe I’ve been too absorbed in my growth lately. Or maybe I fell for the conceit that I was special…
While blaming myself like that, one thing suddenly came to my mind.
‘…! Wait, is that a figure?’
Dominance.
I remember hearing the first time Fati saw the blue-eyed followers and went berserk. She knows that she has the shame of dominance that others don’t have.
‘Wasn’t dominance only the ability to control summons… I see. If you think so, you’re right.’
It was natural to assume that the authority to access my information was partially revoked as my control power exceeded a certain number.
‘Okay. If so, another question. Why is Yeonhee so angry?’
You may think that you have ignored yourself.
If you think you’ve always cared about him, but now you don’t even talk to him about your new abilities, you might be angry. But considering Yeonhee’s personality, that’s probably not the reason.
“… Sun Moon… Why you skipped the first list… Can you tell me quickly… If you have anything to hide from me… I…”
‘Hmm?!’

She loosened her arms and stretched out in front of her, pulling my head close to her chest and whispering in her ear.
“… I have no choice but to… Don’t become such a bad janitor… And after I do that… I’ll lock you up with nowhere to go…”
‘…… What, what?! What does that mean?’
If I cancel the summons anyway, I will be locked up, but again, I don’t understand what it means to be locked up.
Anyway, it was a crisis to enter the situation I was most concerned about, so my senses became more sensitive than ever.
‘Hmm? Something… Moves…?!’
However, as if he had become a puppet, he could not move at all without her permission. Since when have you been like this?
It wasn’t just me. Ran was frozen as if time had stopped. Did she have the power to control the summoned beasts to this extent?
“hehehe… Sunwolah… Actually, I didn’t tell anyone… I can put all the stats I received from leveling up into one ability. hehehehe… I don’t know why it’s just me How are you…”
‘… What?’
What the hell does this mean? No one who has awakened, without exception, once acquired stats must be distributed to three abilities unconditionally. Yeon-hee can only grow by focusing on one thing?
“By the way… I’ve leveled up a lot lately, so I have quite a few stats I haven’t used yet… hehehe… Do you know what I mean? Ilwol is smart, so I wonder if he’s noticed now…”
‘No way, you’re thinking of filming it all with your power of control…?’
Then being locked up so you can’t go anywhere…
“Then tell me. I can’t give you any more time. Ilwol is smart, so he might come up with another trick. Come on – that’s an order. Why didn’t you turn into the first person?”
I feel like a cloud of haze fills my head at the word command. My will was clouded and I could only see her in my field of vision.

“Lan, what is Ilwol thinking?”
(Yes… Ilwol is now…)
Ran’s eyes were completely out of focus, as if he was being mentally controlled by Yeon-hee.
‘… After… Okay. Oh, what didn’t change with the first list…’
(What didn’t change with the first listing…)
“Yes! What is the reason?”
‘I wanted to surprise you by changing into your master’s appearance…’
(······ It says so.)
“… That’s a lie! That’s not it! There’s another reason, isn’t it?”
In disbelief, Yeon-hee put a headlock around my neck and shouted at me to spit out the truth.
‘I barely made it through…’
I didn’t want to say everything right away because I still couldn’t clearly organize it in my head.
I wanted to at least decide whether or not to talk after seeing how she reacts when she sees me tomorrow. But it was no longer the limit. Her words, her gestures, and her body odor shook me.
I feel like I’m going to lose myself if I get pushed around more. I am a summoned beast, but I still want to live as myself.
– Attribute [Calm] Is activated.
Cold Calm was activated at just the right time.
Shaking my neck back and forth, I stretched out my arms as hard as I could to catch the loosening of the restraints on her back.
‘Stop it-!’
I suddenly stood up and approached her with my arms outstretched, and she freaked out, backed up behind her, and slammed her ass on the floor.
Puff!
“Kyaaah?!”
She let out a short scream involuntarily and closed her eyes tightly.
‘Oops…’
“… Heeing…”
Still, her dominance was fully effective. But it wasn’t enough to control my actions.
And her face was not that of a ruler.
He was nervous and anxious, like someone being chased.
‘There is no need to be anxious… Did I make this…’
I couldn’t understand exactly why she reacted so emotionally.
I was born with the ability to sense, because my ability to read emotions wasn’t very good. In a word, it was dull.
Still, it was unpleasant to see that her eyes were slightly wet.
I didn’t want to let her spend a nervous and anxious day, even for a single day.
With her head bowed, I cautiously placed my hand on her shoulder as she didn’t know what to do.
‘The damn thorns go to the back!’
At my strong will without the slightest doubt, the blade-like thorns attached to the front began to move to the back.
Things that didn’t even move when I was consciously trying to do it, reacted when it became a crisis situation.
Warak-
“?!”
I pulled her by the waist and held her in her arms. I couldn’t even hug her fully for fear of harming her. Carefully, like a newborn baby
I awkwardly left a space between her and me, looking at each other like that for a while.
“… Ugh…”
For some reason, she was crying. I don’t know. Perhaps she will never know even if she goes. What do you think?
I can only guess, but isn’t it because I’m sorry that I used a little coercive, in a way, violent power differently than usual?
“Don’t… Talk… So… Why don’t you…”
I silently nodded her head.
‘Sorry. It’s because I’m scared too.’
I gave her a light pat on the trembling back. She stayed like that for a while, leaning her forehead against my chest.
Whoop-
Little by little, I was getting out of her control. I felt lighter in body and mind.
‘If you see me tomorrow, you’ll definitely feel a sense of distance… There’s really no way out of this.’
But what can I do, the die has already been cast.
Less than an hour seems to have passed.
‘……’
Leak fluid- Leak fluid-
‘Are you sleeping?’
Constant breathing, stable heart rate. It was the same as usual when Yeon-hee fell asleep.
‘I sure fell asleep.’
I used to carry her in her arms, went into her room, and put her on her bed.
A while ago, when he was making a fuss, and seeing him sleeping without the world knowing, he looked just as cute.
Whoop-
This is it, and this is what I have to do.
‘…… I’ll go out for a while.’
I closed the door slightly and threw myself out the window in a state of stealth.
It is to defeat the evil group designated by the system.
Percussion-!
It was the first time I went out alone. There was no reason to go outside and there was a lot to train. But it might be worth putting those things off for a while if you get a chance to get some free stats.
Tadadat-
I didn’t have to go back unless I was going to take a leisurely walk around the neighborhood, so I ran in a straight line toward the destination I had identified.
‘This is it.’
As expected, the place where he was was also a villa.
[Adsorption]
I rode up to the 4th floor, which is presumed to be where it is, using suction.
Sug-
The window was slightly open, and luckily I could see the face of a woman sitting in front of a computer. She wasn’t a bastard She had a manly body type.
Anyway, it’s not accurate because he’s wearing glasses, but he’s estimated to be in his mid-30s.
‘Of course he’s an Awakener.’
His fighting power was at the level of an E class, much weaker than mine.
She slipped out of the room after a while, and I carefully opened the metal window frame on both sides.
The window frame was lightly bent like a tong.
The window was just big enough for my body to pass through, so I didn’t have to break through the wall to get in.
Kiki-
I opened the window and entered the room, carefully examining the movement of the target on the wavelength of my senses. She seemed completely unaware of my entry. He was diligently preparing something in the living room while humming her song.
‘Computer…’
I sat down in her seat and moved her mouse to see what she was doing.
‘Shopping mall, nothing special…’
No matter what came out, the conclusion was fixed. I kill that guy You don’t even need to mix things up. For a moment, I imagined when a woman came in.
Jerbug-
Sitting on the bed in her hiding state, I cut her throat with her dagger as soon as she opened the door and entered.
Death, Geoeok–!
“ぅ―”

Puff!
The woman who couldn’t even scream properly lost her throat and died.
‘Hmm…’
It couldn’t have been cleaner. If you just put the corpse in the inventory, there won’t be any traces left except for the woman’s blood.
But I wanted to maximize efficiency.
Jerbug-
This time a real woman entered the room. She didn’t feel anything out of place even though I was standing right in front of her nose. Clenching her fists, she lifted her belly up and punched her.
f*ck-!
“Keep-!”
Puff!
A woman knelt in front of me with her back bent like a shrimp.
