Shane stared at the ring placed in his hand. It was hot, as if it had just been boiled. He wanted to put it back in his inventory when he heard Dirt speaking.

"This is my power. Don't make it leave your body. Once it leaves your body, the System God and other demons will see through its existence and will come to you." Dirt took a deep breath as he was having trouble breathing. "They have been coveting this power for a long time, but no one guessed it was in my body. Tch. Boss is really something."

Shane narrowed his eyes. "Your attribute is time…. So…. if I guess it right, this ring has the power to control time?"

Dirt nodded lightly. "Exactly. You can have my power now if you carry this ring."

Shane nodded and wore it on his fingers. He rubbed it slightly to ease the hot sensation prickling his skin.

Then he raised his head. "Are there restrictions to use this power?"

Dirt pursed his lips as his eyes became heavy. "Well…. You cannot misuse it and change the flow of time if that's what you want to ask. And yes, you can even time travel using that ring, but according to my calculations, you might destroy everything once you change the timeline. A slight change might alter the world and create a parallel world instead. So you better be careful."

Shane nodded as he hesitated before asking, "Is there not any way I can save you?"

Dirt let out a laugh. "What? Do you think I'm dying for real? I still have my database. You just have to tap between my eyebrows. As long as it's saved, I can still maintain my character. So be sure to save me, yeah? You can revive me once you find a way."

Shane nodded again as he stared at a familiar robot whose face was getting paler. He was way too calm now, seeing death in front of his eyes.

He frowned upon seeing this scene. For some reason, he didn't think it was a good thing to stay so calm.

Dirt let out a laugh seeing Shane's expression changing as he coughed. "I know you. Actually, I have known you for a long time. I'm sorry I couldn't explain anything when I was alive. I just want to say something: you can change the rules once in a while.

"Don't become a strict principal who only wants to follow the rules. I-It doesn't matter…." he coughed again. "It doesn't matter if you end up killing someone. You have to save yourself first."

Shane listened as he frowned deeper. He could feel his heart jumping when he heard those words, and at the same time, he felt a trace of familiarity from his words. It almost seemed like a Deja Vu moment.

He raised his head again, wanting to ask more questions, when he noticed that the robot had calmed down all of a sudden. Those eyes were shut closed as Dirt's breathing stopped. The robot seemed peaceful all of a sudden.

"Dirt?" Shane opened his mouth, but this time, he didn't receive a reply.

He sighed and walked over. As he tapped between Dirt's eyebrows, that area brightened with a white light with a bluish circle around it. The light turned brighter and brighter until a round sphere slowly drifted out. It continued to hover in the air.

​ Shane quickly took it and saved it in his inventory. He glanced at the two people and sighed.

What a big day! When he finally managed to find the herb, he had an illusion that he would be able to save his master, but he failed. He was too late. And when he thought he could at least save Dirt, he didn't know how to and saw the robot closing his eyes in front of him.

At least, he solved the unsolvable dungeon on his own. That hooded woman only got a portion of that herb because she hadn't helped too much.

He silently put the dead bodies in his inventory and walked out of the cave. Then he went to a local cemetery and asked for a registration form.

The first thing it asked was to fill up the dead person's or people's names. Shane's hand paused.

Should he write the real name of Ed? He frowned. As he was thinking, he heard the receptionist of the cemetery saying:

"Young man, you don't have to fill up the form manually. Just press the dead body's thumb here at the bottom. The information will be filled in automatically." The woman pushed up her glasses and said, "Follow me with the form. How many bodies do you have, you said?"

"Two."

"Are they your close associates?"

"Yes…." Shane paused and answered, "Not really close. I met them on the journey once, and now, after such a long time, he found them both dead without anyone caring about them. So I should help bury them."

Ahh! He nearly slipped his identity again! This time, he didn't even have Dirt to help him out!

Shane took a deep breath and thought clearly about this situation. Thank God he refrained at the right time!

The woman didn't find his unnatural pause doubtful. She even had an expression full of sympathy as she sighed and opened a door. Beyond it was a park-like place filled with plants and flowers all over the place. It would look good if the plants weren't placed surrounding a ground filled with crosses.

Shane watched the woman walking over to an empty place as she gestured to him and said, "Here. Take out the dead bodies first."

Shane nodded and pulled them out. As soon as he did and placed the two people on the ground, he heard the receptionist exclaiming. He turned only to see her pale face.

"This…. The dead bodies you mentioned are these people?!" The receptionist probably recognized them.

Shane nodded, trying his best to keep a straight face. He didn't want to reveal his identity at the moment.

Just then, he realized an absurd fact about himself. He was perhaps the most hypocritical person alive. He seemed to not care about the world recently, even not feeling anything in his heart the moment his peers died. It was just that he still cared about his survival.

Why did he feel like he was supposed to be indifferent to his desire to survive?

Shane shook his head and said, "Do you know them?"

"What do you mean by that? Everyone freaking knows them!" The receptionist wiped the layer of sweat from her forehead. "The officials were searching for them high and low already! How can they be dead?! Did that b*stard of a disciple kill them both?! I just knew that demon spy wasn't anything good!"

Shane's eyes twitched. "I don't think so. Wait a moment. Dirt had told me about his database. I think there must be a recent video of how they died."

He kind of knew something like this could happen. So he had taken out and saved the videos somewhere else while coming here. If people ended up watching something else, primarily his conservation with Dirt, he would be in trouble.

So he pretended to scan the files and pulled out a video where a group of monsters was attacking Dirt. Shane then waited for the video to end and looked at the receptionist, who was frowning.

"I couldn't access the videos before this. Probably had a lock or something."

The receptionist nodded and took the video as she said, "I'll transfer it to the authorities. For now, you can keep them here. Leave your contact details behind. Please, don't leave Orient until the case is closed."

"Of course."

After finishing the formalities, the bodies were buried in the ground as Shane left the place with a complicated emotion in his heart. He couldn't believe he had just buried his master and the robot. At this time, even the past, where his sister had died, seemed to be far away.

What should he do now? Continue surviving? That goes without a question….

But he felt like the purpose was missing from his life. He had never felt so empty before.

Just as he was standing in the middle of the road, he got a message from a familiar hooded woman. He opened it.

"Yo, I just got a job. Do you want to collaborate? It's a horror world, and the mission is to destroy it. Not for weak-hearted people. Are you ready?"

Shane stared at the sentence briefly and replied, "Okay."

It seemed the woman was already inside the portal and invited him from there. He immediately got the portal address. He teleported there from the nearest station and entered the portal quickly by inputting the woman's password.

As soon as he did that, he was transferred directly from the system space to the world inside his host's mind.

When he opened his eyes the next moment, he was already inside his host, who was busy making a fuss. Just as he opened his system, he heard a familiar voice.

"Partner, why did you come so late?" The hooded woman stood not far away from him with a leisurely attitude.

Wait, how come he entered the same host's mind as this lady? Was it even possible for two people to enter the same host?!
