And, it's weird, but the serial killer didn't act for two weeks. Did he get bored?) {No. Rather than stopping, he is waiting for a perfect chance to announce his existence to the world. He had a narcissistic personality. I think, he is planning something grandiosely horrible and might already implementing his decision to action.} (The situation is exactly the calm before the storm, right?) Ryan nodded his head. {I felt uneasy.

The place is still half full with customers. They are still chatting and eating happily without care.   (Host, I know the reason you bounded your soul to me is because of the transmigrator. If you wanted for him to keep chasing you, why would you killed his original body?) The black energy ball couldn't help but asked this one question that keeps bugging its mind.   J lets out an amused chuckle.   {I also wondered about that sometimes. Why did I kill him?

"Tell me honestly. Do you transmigrate here? Since when?" Ryan asked.   "I am not," Derrick replied. "It's true."   "How come you're here, then? And, what about Blacky?"   "I made a contract with Blacky. The only thing that transferred to this world is my consciousness. Unlike you who took over this body as a whole, I'm not. I simply cohabit into this body. A mere parasite that could control the body of Derrick Lee in any desirable way I want. And, I stayed in this world for about two years?"   Ryan glances at his system while raising his eyebrows. His gesture is indicating for White Ball to explain further about this phenomenal situation that Derrick experienced.   {That's because your body is dead, host. Whi

A big, black, and doe eyes staring at her are the last thing she saw before darkness takes over her body. With a loud thud, Da Kyung bumped her head on something hard. She hissed in pain.   "Oww..." Rubbing the bruise on her forehead, she opened her eyes. Bright light is blinding her sight momentarily. Da Kyung blinked her eyes multiple times to adjust herself to the sudden brightness. She felt sore all over her body.   "Young lady." Someone approached her.   Da Kyung turned her head, to the owner of the timid voice. Beside her, there's standing a female, not older than twenty years old, wearing a full set of maid uniforms.

Your personal maid."

Muah!" Da Kyung smooching and smothering Jjang's face with her kisses.   (Host!) Jjang snapped. It used its special skill, teleport. From Da Kyung's tight embrace, the system managed to escape and warily put a safe distance between it and its host.   Da Kyung pouted.   "Not fair, Jjang.
