Chapter 63

Pitter Patter

Water dripped in this dark space, one droplet at a time.

Am I dead?

Karen, the ashen knight, scratched her head. She didnt understand the current situation.

She had already experienced death once before. The death she faced back then was complete darkness. She wasnt in some space with her memories, like she was right now.

Then does this mean that Im not dead right now?

The image of Karuna, her brother, begging for her while grabbing her still lingered in her memory.

Do I still have regrets left?

And then

Crackle Crackle

The dark area lit up for a second. And as it did, someones vision revealed itself to Karen.

Gasp Gasp

Badump Badump

Their heart was pounding.

She was watching the world through someone elses eyes.

It was vibrant and three-dimensional, like she was there herself. Judging by how the scenery was moving up and down, it seemed like the person was riding a horse.

Is this someones memory?

Karen was confident that it was someones memory.

I have to go Shes waiting for me.

Rumble Rumble Rumble

A deep voice.

Karen instantly knew who this voice belonged to.

Karuna! Its Karunas!

She was glad to hear the voice, but she was also saddened by it.

And as she also saw what Karuna saw, she was in complete shock, like she had just gone from heaven to hell.

Spurt Spurt

Karuna was looking at his abdomen.

Blood.

Karuna must have gotten on his saddle without properly stopping the bleeding beforehand. Every time the horse galloped, blood would drip down.

Karuna!

Karen urgently shouted his name, but her voice didnt reach him.

Haah Haah Karen told me that she would be waiting for me I promised her that I would go back I

Thud.

Karunas vision went black.

Crash!

It was clearly the sound of him falling off his horse. Karen could feel Karuna falling through the air.

Fwoooooosh

Splash Splash

D-Did he fall off?

Karen was caught off guard, like she was the one who fell off the cliff herself.

And after that, there were no more changes.

The only thing Karen could feel was the current sweeping her off somewhere.

Karen could sense that these memories were her brothers, Karunas, memories.

So you really were coming back.

I was.

......

Karuna revealed himself from the dark space from behind Karen.

Karuna, who had taken his helmet off, looked similar to Karen but with sharper features.

...What happened? Who

I dont know. I was ambushed while I was heading to the capital.

I didnt even know that and

Karen.

Karuna looked confidently at Karen.

That isnt important anymore.

Not important? Why not?

Because were in a new era.

But

Montra doesnt exist anymore. Everyone we knew in Montra is dead.

......

Its the same for our deaths too. Regardless of what happened, its no longer important. If we want to live in this new time

New time? Dont make me laugh! How could you say that?!

Grit

The space temporarily became unstable from her rage.

Jin Jin would have died too then to those usurpers

Its unfortunate, but everyone dies.

Karuna calmly tried to comfort her.

The same goes for me, and you, and Jin.

...I dont know. What are you even trying to say?

Lets go together. Lets go together into this new world.

For what?

Anything.

Is there something that you want in this new world, Karuna?

Well, I dont know yet.

Then why are you trying so hard to go together?

Im not doing this to convince you to go into the new world.

Karuna took a step towards Karen.

Its because I want to do it together.

...Karuna.

When I saw the world outside of the Empire, I realized that the Empire was extremely small. Not everything existed inside our fence.

I I

The world is vast, Karen. Its filled with mysterious things that we dont understand.

Karen was slowly leaning toward accepting Karunas proposition. But there was one last hurdle before she could fully accept it.

I lost everything. I lost you, I lost Jin, and I lost the Empire. What will I burn for now? Theyve all turned to ash

- Snowman! I give you my shoulder! Snowman! I give you my shoulder!

- This is crazy LOL The butterfly effect from a single jelly.

- Every single viewer who chewed him out for doing weird things when he was cooking better come out now!

- Wasnt me.

- Wasnt me either.

- Maybe there is no such thing as a bad viewer?

- Maybe we just all share a single brain cell?

- Maybe Schrodinger raised a dog instead of a cat?

[Are you trying to buy a new car? has donated 300 Madness!]

[As thanks for your purchase, we will also give you a brand new car of the same model that you bought.]

- This stores just doing whatever they want.

- Theyre crossing the line

- Huh? A new car, not just some engine oil? Are they out of their minds?

- Why is Karen so pretty? As expected from a Legendary!

- She really does look super sick I guess Legendaries are really different, huh?

- Why is Karuna sealed for 42 days though? LMFAOOO

- ???: Alright class, this is a time capsule. Were going to open this later when we grow old, okay?

- Karuna: L-Let me out, you psychos

- You gotta accept a penalty like that if youre getting Karen LOLLLL

Seol groaned after reading through all of the messages.

If he just ignored everything and looked at the raw numbers, it was clear that it was a huge gain for him.

But why do I feel so uneasy?

Seol then looked at Karens status.

[[Twin Knights: Karen]

Title: N/A

Rank: Legendary

Race: Shadow

Level: 9

HP: 1460/1460

MP: 840/840

Unallocated Stats: 0

Strength 102(+36) Dexterity 81(+28) Constitution 108(+38)

Intelligence 65(+23) Wisdom 62(+22) Spirit 76(+27)

Talents: Disguise 2, Interrogate 2]

The stats were overwhelming.

Even though they were simply 50% of her original base stats, her most important stats, Strength and Constitution, were both over 100.

Then that means her stats were over 200 originally.

Seol was thankful for the fact that she didnt kill Karuna and Jamad.

Her stats were monstrous themselves, but the additional stats she gained through Seols skills and item effects were also considerably high.

If her stats are this high without any items how strong would she be with proper equipment?

It was almost like Karen was trying to show that the difference in stats had to be this high for a summon to have a Legendary rank.

- Behave yourself!

- If you piss her off, its straight to a coup d'tat!

- Did you think her red eyes were for decoration?

Even though her stats were phenomenal, Seol was a bit sad about the skills she was able to pass on.

The majority of her skills are sealed, but I guess I couldnt do much about it because of the difference in levels?

Even if she had a lot of skills, they were useless if she couldnt use them.

Seol was just thankful that Gallottas Tongue at least helped pass on some of the skills properly.

'Thankfully, the majority of the important skills were passed on. Not to mention the unique skills were passed on too.

Since Karen was passed on two unique skills along with a few basic skills that could be used as her main skills, this was probably already the best-case scenario.

The rewards he gained for the days he painstakingly spent making jelly were all worth it now.

- Huh? But she didnt do that yet, right?

- Do what?

- Dont summons normally greet their masters when they first become their summons or something like that?

- Yeah, they did do that. Why isnt she doing it?

Seol knew that she didnt do it as well.

And because of that, he approached Karen.

Karen.

I still havent accepted you yet.

...What?

Im saying that I still need to think about why I need to serve you.

It was something that Seol didnt expect at all.

Karen, unlike the other summons that Seol had collected so far, was a formidable enemy.

Is this because shes Legendary rank?

Seol hoped for that to be the reason why she was acting like this.

Kuku How fun.

Jamad laughed in the Shadow Space after seeing Seol get flustered. Karen then looked at the Shadow Space before speaking.

Well, I look forward to working with you. This goes to the troll and the young king.

Im not a king

Im just saying that, dont take it so seriously.

...Fuu.

Seol grabbed his forehead.

- A legendary rank summon! Shes shockingly a tomboy as well.

- Snowman requested for a return but didnt get one.

- Endure the weight of the crown

- Its way too fucking heavy LOL

- I think my necks going to break

And now, just as Seol was thinking that he could finally get some rest after all of those dangerous situations

Huh? Whats this?

In the few seconds that Seol was looking away, Karen somehow already managed to be bending over to open something.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that what she was trying to open were the rewards that Seol had accumulated throughout the various Adventures.

No! You shouldnt just touch tha

Click.

[You open the Dead Mans Chest, the best possible reward.]
