Chapter 62: Where am I?

One thought filled my mind as darkness enveloped me.

"I'll fuck you up, you asshole,"

My eyes opened again, and I stood in complete darkness.

That fucker did something to me, but where am I?

My eyes scanned the surrounding darkness when suddenly I noticed a white dot in the distance.

As I moved closer to that dot, it started getting brighter and bigger.

Yet suddenly, I saw someone standing there. It was a woman with her back facing me. She wore a black gown.

Moving closer to her, and trying to touch her shoulder, I found my hand simply passed through her body, as if she was a ghost.

I was really spooked and jumped back to see that figure was still standing there.

She might be a ghost, but she is certainly beautiful. I don't understand what she's doing here.

My curiosity overtook my fear, and I took a roundabout route to see her face.

My mouth dropped open when I saw her face.

"LUCIA!" I shrieked.

Her face seemed devoid of any emotions as I scrutinized it. Looking at me, she said, "Host?"

My mouth fell open. I didn't understand why she was talking to me like that.

My gaze fixed on her emotionless face as I asked, "Eve?".

"Yes, host?" she replied emotionlessly as she stared at me.

It's a serious mind-fuck. Why does Eve look like Lucia?

I gazed at her, questioning, "Why do you look like Lucia? And where are we?"

"I have designed myself along the lines of Host's most preferred choice," she replied emotionlessly as if it did not matter to her.

Then she continued, "You're currently in your subconscious mind."

My subconscious mind? I was startled. It's like I'm reading a novel.

When I looked around, there was a bright white ball, about the size of an egg, hovering in the air.

"What's that?" I asked Eve as I stared at the white ball.

"Probably this is the unlocked memory of the host," she replied.

Suddenly, I remembered what Eve had told me last time. As my intelligence increased, so did my subconscious mind's ability to work.

My eyes fell on Eve as she stared at me blankly, her eyes devoid of any emotion.

While I was about to talk about the outside situation, the world trembled, and I transmigrated.

I opened my eyes to see Amelia's concerned face in front of me. My head was on her lap.

I felt a painful sensation on the back of my head, and as I touched it, I felt a sticky sensation on my hand. I immediately knew it was my blood.

"What the fuck!! Where is that fucker!" I screamed as I sprang up to face Amelia.

She looked at me like I was a clown and said in a mocking tone.

"What are you going to do now?"

As I took a deep breath to calm myself, I asked,

"How strong is he?" The anticipation in my gaze grew as I stared at her.

Her gaze lingered on me for some time before she said, "He is weaker than me but strong enough to kill you like an ant.".

Like a bucket of cold water had been thrown upon me, I silently vowed to make his life miserable from next time on.

I looked at Amelia and asked, "You told me you would help me become stronger, didn't you?"

"Right", she replied after a moment of thought.

"How are you going to proceed", I asked her, not knowing what the goal was.

"You will know in the future, but remember not to provoke that guy unnecessarily, when you're alone. This time, I saved you, but I can't guarantee what'll happen next time."

As I nodded at her, I thought, "One day, I will kill that fucker, whoever it may be. I will let no one mess with me."

As soon as I calmed down, I asked her the important question, "But why did he attack me?"

"He believes that you are the reason we are living in the jungle," she replied.

"Me?" I screamed

"Fool, the people from outside the world. Since you are from the outside world, he considers you as an enemy."

"What a fool!" I murmured as I looked at her.

"Nevertheless, he will know that he messed with the wrong person." I thought as I gazed at Amelia's beautiful face.

I smiled and asked, "Do you have anything to help heal my wound?"

"I will help you in the morning. Now go to sleep, we will go in the forest tomorrow." She said, turning around to leave.

When I stared at her back, a sensation of heat swept through me.

As I made my way to my hut, I murmured, "See you tomorrow, beautiful,"
