7 Ymir

[The skill Plot Armor is Resonating]

'Huh…this skill is already going off, I guess this situation is a bit confusing then. To be honest, I thought this was possibly a contestant, but let's go to her and see what is the problem.'

Approaching her I see her appearance clearly now as she looks up from her crying straight at me.

She is a little girl with clothes for rags and a worn out headband. With light blond hair and blue eyes, which are swollen with tears, she looks like a little doll. But that one thing that makes this all weird was the fact that see looked semitransparent as if she were a ghost. Approaching the girl, she is still weeping repeating a few words over and over.

"Why didn't he love, why didn't he, I loved him, I did as I was told, but he never loved me back, why…why…why…why?!?!?!?" Repeated the girl.

As I was getting close to her the girl senses my presence and looks up at me with a neutral face but tears still falling down her face.

She looks like she is about to run away, but then I quickly rush to here thinking she wasn't in the right state of mind. Once she was about 10 feet away for me her feet suddenly stops and as I notice a crack in her neutral face as if she is trying to break from a frozen expression.

As I am just a few feet away form her there is a notification from the system.

[The Skill Plot Armor is Activated]

[The Skill Calming Aura is in effect]

And suddenly as if she wasn't frozen anymore she falls down crying once again, but this time it looked like she was bawling her eyes out.

My being about a foot away from was now unsure of what to do as she was just crying. Not sure if this was the right thing to do, I was about to pat her head to try and calm her down. However, just realizing that she was like a ghost and looked a bit see-through, I think I just made a mistake and was waiting right now for my hand to go right through her and screw things up and close my eyes. However, I feel something soft and as I open my eyes, I see my hands rustling her blond soft hair.

Perplexed about the situation, I tried moving my hand back but the girl grabs hold of my hand which is still on her hand as if she was asking for me to keeping rubbing her head.

The girl herself stopped crying and now was in shock with her eyes wide open as she realizes I am touching her and she is touching me. She removes me hand form her her head and holds it now. Her delicate hands in comparison of my big rough hands was a weird feeling as she keeps touching my hand to the point she just grabs it tightly.

Now feeling really confused, I was about to pull my hand back slightly and question the girl but her actions next made the situation even stranger.

She looked like she was about to cry again, but then she jumps into my embrace hugging my with her hands hanging from my neck and her face rubbing into my chest.

She was crying again, but was laughing now as she seemed happy? She was just saying "don't leave me" and "thank you" many times right now, hugging me tighter as if she never wants to let go. Not sure what to do, I return the hug, hoping my calm aura skill will continue to be in effect as I rub her head at the same time trying to calm her down.

A good 30 minutes goes by and it looks as if she was done crying as everything now was quiet, except the gentle sound of the water flowing in the background.

Deciding to speak up now, I ask her in the calmest, nicest voice I could muster "Are you ok now?"

I feel her slightly nod her head as her face was still in my chest hugging my tightly.

Laughing slightly from her cute reaction, I reply in a chuckling manner:

"Although I don't understand your situation can you at least lessen your grip on me, I can't move one inch right now…"

As if the girl just realized her actions, she moves away from my chest and loosens her small arms quickly with a red face as she was embarrassed. Once she was off me though, she just grabbed my hand tightly instead as if it was a better option for her so I just let it be cause I knew mentally she wasn't okay.

Moving along with the girl at hand, we sit together at the rock she was previously sitting at.

"So, do you want to tell me what happened?"

The girl just moved her head side to side, as she doesn't want to say.

"Alright it is fine if you don't want to say, but can you at least tell me your name."

She was looking at the water in front of us, but hearing me ask for her name she looks at me as I look at her in return.

As we look at each other, I felt that she was just in a daze as she is now looking at me with her eyes clear, and I think admiring me?

Realizing that she was staring for too long, her face became all red as she blushes and quickly moves her head back down.

"Ymir….my name is Ymir." she responds still with a tinge of blush on her face as she looks down.

'Ymir…that name seems familiar, but this world should only be filled with contestants and others. She is probably just someone with an uncommon name."

I respond:

"Okay Ymir, you should be a contestant right, why are you transparent as if you were a ghost."

She tilts her head as she was confused where I told her that she was a contestant, but hearing how she was a ghost she moves her head down a bit more covering her face.

"I'm….dead…."

Thinking that she is a big confused I continue saying:

"Well we all died and were revived to be apart of this competition. Plus if you were dead, I wouldn't be able to touch you right now right."

She tightens the grip on my hand to confirm the fact that I can still touch her.

Realizing how confused she might I thought that she hasn't figured out her system yet.

"Well you probably haven't figured out your system and skill that is keeping you transparent. It is better for you to go back to your spawn home and figure out your system as it is similar, but different for everyone so it is better for you to tinker with it. I'll come back here tomorrow to meet you if you have any more questions since right now I am exploring the area."

As I stand up preparing to say goodbye and continue my exploring. She moves in close as she grabs my arm not wanting to leave with me.

"Please don't leave me….Please don't leave me….I don't want to be alone again." she says holding my arm tightly as tears start to form in her eyes.

Not realizing how she really is, I sigh mentally for my stupid actions and I move in closer and hug her again.

"Ok I won't leave you again alright so you can calm down."

The girl looks at me straight in the eyes,

"You promise you won't leave me forever"

Not thinking much about the promise, I chuckle slight thinking it was cute and adorable.

"I promise you that I will never leave you alone forever" I say firmly in hopes of pleasing her.

She then looks at me with a smile as she laughs at my antics and holds me tighter and more comfortably than before.

However, after saying those words I get a notice from the system.

[User made a vow with a recipient who completely desires to be with user to be bonded forever]

[The Soul-Seeking knot is reacting to the said statements and the situation]

[The Soul-Seeking Knot confirms to desire the recipient truly has for the user and so the bond is allowed]

[The soul-bond between user and recipient, Ymir Fritz, will now commence]

'Hahah…..Huh…What?!?!?'

Suddenly, the golden knot appears between me and Ymir and starts to entangle out arms to be connected on either side.

It is starting to completely entangling our bodies and I can she that Ymir is panicking as she looks scared, but for some reason she sudden calms down and let's he rope completely entangle her as she looks at me with a smile filled with love and…..obsession?!?!?

I start telling out "Oracle, WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!?!!?"

{I am unsure user, this is completely new to me}

Still in a panic as I unable to stop the entanglement of the rope, it then completely entangled me as if I were a mummy and I was unable to move to do anything right now.

Suddenly through the gaps in between the ropes I can suddenly see the a golden light emerging from the rope until it suddenly flashed and the entire area was now some bright in a golden color that I had to close my eyes.

It stayed like that for the past 5 mins, until the light died down and I could feel myself being untangled but the rope.

Once I was untangled I looked around to see if something happened, but everything seems the same. I looked to the place were Ymir once was but as the rope untangled her, she wasn't the little girl I knew.

What was now in her place was a young woman about 19-20 years old with similar long blond hair that went down to her waist and blue eyes. Having a voluptuous chest and great curves for a woman. Even though she was still wearing the rags that were tight to her as they no longer fit, but it still couldn't hid her beauty. There she was in the place of the small Ymir I once knew, as she touching her body realizing know that she no-longer transparent like a ghost and had a physical body.

Still completely confused on what is happening, I suddenly get a surge of memories that were unknown to me. I see the image of the young girl Ymir living her life. How she was born a slave, got her tongue cut of when she was sold to Fritz, how she got into contact with the source of the world receiving the power of the mother of all Titans and revealing herself to have this power to Fritz in hopes of having more attention. She was then abused by Fritz and entered into a marriage as concubine with him in order to display how powerful she is to the people, allowing Fritz to use her while she was still treated as a slave. She used her power to make Eldia flourish gaining power for Fritz and even giving birth to his children. Even though she was abused, Ymir still loved that at least she had someone with her. Eventually her memories turned black showing how she died of unknown causes and now she is viewing everything for her spiritual perspective. After her death, her "husband" forced her children to eat of corpse in hopes of gaining her powers and it did. It disgusted her and she was finally able to see how he never loved her once causing her pain, sorrow and anger. With this anger, still having the power of the original before she was taken into the coordinate, she used the power to transform, forming the skeleton of her titan in the physical world, shouting one last roar as she started the curse of Ymir, causing those who inherit her powers to die after 13 years of having it, as she died 13 years after gaining her powers. Afterward, she was dragged into the coordinate, as she was forced to follow the will of her descendants as she had no more will.

Gaining all the memories made me realize how sad of an actually life she had compared to what it was like in the manga, making me feel anger on how she was treated and the pain she felt as I felt those memories as if they were mine

Finally, realizing this was the Ymir from Attack on Titan and the horrible life she lived, I approach her in her confused state, hugging her tightly as she once did to me, as I tell her I was sorry for all she had to experience.

Even though she was confused with what happened and happy that she gained this body, she feels this connection with Adrian and truly how sorry he felt for her. She returns the hug in his embrace crying slightly as she has never felt this loved before in her life. As she said quietly,

"Thank you….Adrian"

I then get a notification from the system

[The soul-bonding has completed, you have been soul-bonded to the individual Ymir Fritz]

[You have unlocked the Relationship Status within you system]

Even though Adrian understood who this girl know was in front of him, he still couldn't grasp the absurdity of the situation.

Getting this notice from the system cleared his mind once again of the situation, and he was just lost and dumbfounded of what happened

'Oracle what the….'

Just before I could ask Oracle, Ymir kissed me on the lips savoring me as if she desired only me. She was even using her tongue, which I didn't expect….but didn't feel bad at all. I suddenly move her back releasing myself from the kiss.

"W…W…WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?" I asked her on a flustered state as I was caught in surprise. Normally I wasn't like this and would have kept going, but after all that has happened to me and with this gorgeous woman who used to just be the little girl I was talking with like 30mins ago, who is actually from my favorite manga, who wouldn't be blown out of their minds.

She stops and looks at me confused as she never expected such a reaction, but then she smiles mischievously and says,

"What's the problem, we are now bounded together forever like you promised me and I know you like me as I can feel you as you can feel how I like you.

It's true, ever since this bond I can understand her feelings clearly and her mood and I can understand now, she has some much love for me that it can be considered and obsession.

"So….Adrian, or should I call you honey or even…..master, I will never leave your side as you should never leave mine. So no need to get so embarrassed." she said with a flirty smile.

'As I was saying… ORACLE WHAT IS HAPPENING ROGHT NOW!?!?!'
