Chapter 22 - Installation

[The egg is jealous as it thought it could be its master's first servant].

´If she wants to, this might actually not be not that bad´ Kore thought. He was thinking about the possibility he had if someone from the Grisgame family was serving him. He had nearly infinite possibilities inside the kingdom. He was picturing the look on the king´s face if he took away his precious granddaughter with a creepy smile, which Lilly just ignored. As Kore cleared his throat, he spoke up again. "But what have I done to you so you want to serve me." Kore said. "You can stand up again, by the way."

When Lilly stood up, she started explaining. It was a really long explanation, so to cut it short, it was like this. Lilly first explains what it was like after she died. She explained it so one would be able to visualize it. When she died, she was like a double-sided train. The train would go in either one direction or the other. The direction would be decided by a switch outside of the train.

There was also a timer, but she sadly couldn't remember what was on it anymore. Anyways one side of the train lead to an unending inferno of flames. It gave off weird sounds that were really terrifying. Here, Lilly needed to pause for a minute as her body got goosebumps all over just thinking about that place. When she resumed talking, she also said that the other side led to what looked like an unending rail. It gave off a really warm aura. on that she just wanted to go to. But she couldn´t decide where she would go. It was the person on the outside of the train. The one at the switch. That was Kore. Seeing the 6 year old there she, who was a he before, already thought about what might be behind the wall of fire as she was sure there was no way for her to go to the other way. But when the train suddenly moved, she saw herself getting away from the fire. Even though she was dead and didn't have a body, she was moved to tears. She was sorry about everything she had done to Kore and his family and was very thankful for his decision. While telling the story, she needed another break because she started crying thinking back. After all, her brain is still that of a 10 year old. Anyways, When she continued, she said there was a gate in front of her that after going through she forgot all about her past.

It's all about Kore and who she was before. At least, that was until the morning she turned six. When waking up, she suddenly had a huge headache. It was because she got her memory back. It wasn't like the assassin suddenly turned into Lilly. It was more like Lilly and the assassin from back then fused, but Lilly was the assassin the whole time. It is hard to explain, but this is probably the best way to explain it. Anyway, after receiving her memories, she saw something she had only seen once before and would never see again.

"Back then, I saw some kind of levitating blue text box." Lilly explained. "I thought I have gone crazy from the memory´s but when I read it I knew I didn´t. I think it said something like... You have received power by your judge. Use it wisely. To either become his servant or his enemy."

Kore who was mostly listening except for the breaks she needed, was most shocked about the last thing she told him about. Basically the stuff about hell and all that Kore already knew. It was just that it basically was out of the point of view of the person he killed. Still. When she got her memory´s back. It sounded just like his System. It sounded just like she saw his Reincarnation System but Kore did know that nobody else could see it beside him. He walked around with it open too often for him to miss something like that. People would have asked him what this blue box was but nobody did. They didn´t even look or find anything strange. That is why he wanted to check.

´Status!´

[...]

The status of Kore was open, but that wasn´t important right now. The only thing that was important right now was the question he was about to ask. "You... Do you see this?" Kore asked, pointing at the system message that showed his status, but Lilly just shook her head. If she couldn´t see his system, then it might have been something different that she saw. Maybe she had some kind of system herself that wasn´t like the Reincarnation System. "Can you try to shout status in your head one time?" Kore asked her thinking that it might work. Lilly went along with it without any questions and did as Kore said. But still, another shake of her head. Kore didn´t have any ideas and thought that after all these years he still knew little about the system. Well, he didn´t need to know everything about it, but it would be nice to know at least most of it. Was it like a quest that the system acted on it´s own without an order of Kore? That was the most plausible answer to him, but there were still many questions open like why it did that. Anyway, these were questions for the future. Kore didn´t want to spend too much time thinking about the system as it is something he needs to use. not reversed. Because of that, he went to the next topic that actually might give him an answer.

"You still want to become my servant, right?" Kore asked in a serious voice.

"YES!" Lilly answered excitedly as he nodded.

"Don´t complain if something bad comes out of it." Kore remarked sarcastically.

[A spared individual wants to become your servant.]
