3 Confusion

"Huh? What's Miracle Valkyrie's body?"

"How did I even get a reward when all I did was simply to survive??"

Young master Gaun asked a series of questions about the system.

Ding!

[ The host needs to ask one question at a time. ]

Young master Gaun was speechless about the system.

This made him feel like he was a customer in the supermarket.

Cough!

"Forgive me, I just wanted to know why and what happened right now?"

"Why am I rewarded?"

"How did I gain a Mana Core and its holy light attribute?"

Ding!

[ The original host was crippled in body and soul by the favored son of heaven.]

[However, the current host is not the original host of the body that was crippled. ]

Young master Gaun nodded while expecting the system to continue.

Ding!

[ So the current host soul is not entirely crippled but only the body. ]

[ However, as the body of the host is crippled while the soul is not, the system only found one way to improve… ]

[ And it was through miracle. ]

With this sentence, young master Gaun had a foreboding feeling.

Ding!

[ The host wanted to survive in this plane through a miracle. ]

'Miracle?'

Young master Gaun thought he was guilty but that should be given since he is a system.

Ding! i

[ Yes, host. ]

[ A miracle is a surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered being the work of a divine agency. ]

Young master Gaun knitted his brow in confusion.

"So?"

"What is the connection between miracles and when I thought I was going to die earlier?"

Ding!

[ Life and death situations. ]

[ When the brain thinks that there is only a winner or loser, effective or ineffective, and successful or unsuccessful. ]

[ Either doing it or you're not. ]

[ There is no middle ground and there are no levels of severity. ]

[ That is when in life and death situation, you improve or you die. ]

Young master Gaun looked at the system notification with wide eyes.

"You mean?"

As if he understood what the system was telling him.

Ding!

[ In the most difficult times, humans would explode their potential in a life-and-death situation which creates miracles. ]

Young master Gaun's heart was beating fast.

Still not processing if this system is real or not.

Ding!

[ Miracles would happen or go die. ]

Young master Gaun seems like he knows where this is going.

"I-"

Then he felt his heart drop when the next notification changed in front of him.

Ding!

[ The host needs to court death to improve now and in the future. ]

Young master Gaun tried to hold his breathing.

"What the hell? I thought you were some gift that could make me a dominator instantly?"

" How did this happen?"

"When did you become a system that will force me to seek death!?"

Ding!

[ When the system was reforming, the host wished for miracles to happen. ]

[ Plus, it was beneficial for the host since the system couldn't find a way for the host to improve with a crippled body. ]

Young master Gaun felt the world caving in but he knew there was always a price for everything.

Like occupying this body that's not his. Instead, he thanked this information that the system had given.

"That's good."

"I'm thankful."

"I'm going to ask for more information in the future, like owning my magic practice arts from you."

Young master Gaun knew he hit a jackpot.

Instead of complaining, he might as well thank the system.

Ding!

[ Cannot find the answer. ]

'Huh?'

Young master Gaun's eyes squinted.

"So if I court death, I can improve my magical order?"

Young master Gaun asked again.

The system felt like it was not omnipotent like the other systems in the stories he had read so he wanted to find out.

Ding!

[ the host needs to find Holy Light magic practice to improve the host's magical order. ]

Young master Gaun felt this was a little off- but he didn't complain.

At Least he knew where the system stands.

"So what is the Miracle valkyrie body?"

Whenever a magician or a knight awakens, a Mana Core.

There would be gifts given to them.

In the story, it was so rare that only those with the main character, heroine, supporting characters, and villains had them.

Miracle Valkyrie's body seems like one of them.

Ding!

[ Miracle valkyrie body: The host would be given extra lives and if the host receives massive damage inflicted upon him, the host can replace his injured parts and make his body more massive, strong, can adapt, durable enough, and gain wings for a short amount of time by summoning alternate universe souls and sacrifice it to heal or revive himself. ]

[ Extra Life: 1. ]

[ Current life: 2. ]

Young master Gaun's forehead sweat.

The amount of shock that was given to him by the system is making him shake uncontrollably.

"You know?"

This time, young master Gaun found an idea of how he came here and why he occupied this body.

'Alternate universe soul?'

It was the trigger in his brain as he realizes that the current him is also an alternate-universe soul.

Ding!

[ Warning: If the host died in seeking death, the host won't be able to get courting death points. ]

[ The host must seek death and survive to improve. ]

[ Plus: If the current host died a few times, the host must struggle against other alternate universe versions of himself so the current soul of the host won't be replaced. ]

...

Meanwhile, far away from the carriage, young master Gaun was on.

Leanne and a knight clad in violet armor were sitting on a tree.

The wind that blew the tree Leaves was not touching them.

"What's your decision, my lady?"

The knight clad in armor spoke.

Her lady planned to end the bloke in the carriage.

She's been blinded by love for him for a very long time.

The knight clad in armor could not take it any longer.

"Your highness. I can remove his head to ease your suffering."

To him, her highness Leanne is a sixteen-year-old woman that is supposed to be a queen of the Crystal Kingdom.

However, she was tired of politics and was interested in other things.

To live a life and love normally like others.

However, she didn't realize that she had a habit of changing people.

Leanne turned one man into a future ruler of an kingdom.

Also a beggar like him became what he is right now, a magic knight.

"I thought it wasn't him but I was wrong."

Leanne mumbled.

She didn't elaborate on the knight with her because she knew he was a person who will sacrifice his life for her, anytime.

She acted weird when she remembered young master Gaun's words.

'No one can understand... You and David... You will never understand me.'

Her silver hair spreads out as her hair is touched by the wind.

Leanne stares at the carriage where young master Gaun was in with a hint of melancholy.

'This is my second life.'

'I regressed back in time.'

She thought but young master Gaun did not know this, it's not mentioned in the novel that he knew too.

That Leanne is a regressor.

'In the past, I was a trusted dog, a sword of the Crystal empire by the royal family that I and David obliterated together!'

'Their sword is in the shadow. I've protected the kingdom in the dark and sacrificed my life a thousand times.

'Until I was betrayed by them, the royal family that I served with all my life! My blood and my heart!'

Leanne clenched her fist, remembering her first past life.

'He's the one who saved me from my shadow, from the darkness.'

'Protect me, feed me, love me, and everything I could ever ask for.'

'But he died in that catastrophe.'

Tears fell from Leanne's eyes.

Her shoulder trembled and making the knight clad in armor felt a sting in his heart.

'I thought I would forget him but I never did.'

'I tried to love again, but he's the only one that came close to my heart.'

'I decided to never be in a relationship after our romance.'

'I kept missing and missing him since.

'This time, I want to save him...'

'But he is a completely different person.'

'At first, he treated me well but when those two came, he changed.'

'But then I realized he is a completely different person in this timeline.'

Leanne remembers how she just tried to kill him and tears fell uncontrollably.

'As I was convinced that he is not him and I wanted to kill him, why did he say those words?'

'He gave up on me?'

'Live and don't waste my life?'

'You also said that when you died in my last life.'

'Also, David?'

'We're not that close!'

'David might also be close to me but I only look at him as a sibling.'

Leanne was overwhelmed right now that she didn't know what she was supposed to do.

'I'm sorry, I just found out now that it's you…'

'I'm sorry, I tried to kill you.'

'I thought you are now a completely different person!'

'I thought you and you in the past differed from each other.'

However, Leanne is sure when he asks her to Leave, young master Gaun was like the person she knew in her first life.

'Why would you ask me to Leave, again!?'

'You wanted me to leave you again!?'

'When I confirmed it was you?!'

Leanne could only sigh with a helpless expression.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up as he saw far away that young master Gaun opened the door of his carriage.
