Divine Protection: The Pride System

Episode 04: The Most Amazing Skill

“Everything has ended.”

That quiet mutter filled the entire room, once he realized it, he had been alone in the place, along with the corpse of the girl who was his lover.

“It's over.”

He repeated his actions, penetrating his sin with empty words. Loneliness right now is what condemns it.

As if daydreaming, the teenager's face looked straight at her love lying innocent.

She had cried as much as she could, but she could never give a single grain of happiness to her lover.

“I should have kissed him first before killing him... Well, free, this is just regret, forget it.”

Rejecting his own reality, the teenager laid the body of his lover.

Instead of putting it in the vast prairie, he took it sitting on a chair and laid its body on the table.

“If it's like this, you look like you're just asleep.”

Staring, the teenager slightly smiled as he expected a useless hope.

Then, he walked, away from where he had stood before. His gaze looked back, to make sure that everything was fine.

After which, he grabbed her hand, seized her mind, and said in a speech that lay in his heart.

“Goodbye, Pandora.”

Breath followed in peaceful silence. After he finished completing his goal, he ran—

There should be an exit around here...

There was no valid evidence, he was just second-guessing that his thinking was correct.

Dan—

“What?!”

Rogant was a little surprised, he stopped, trying to focus with a voice that suddenly appeared in his mind.

“Who are you?”

[Election has been completed, conditions have been met. The transfer process will be done in 10 seconds.]

[2...]

“....”

The question was ignored, but, even so. There were no signs of displeasure in his expression.

Rogant nodded silently, understanding everything that was about to happen.

“So... so, this is what you mean.”.

[3...]

[4...]

[5...]

[6...]

His lips formed a smile, although his gaze was dark, there was not the slightest bit of hesitation as he began to express it.

“I understand.”

Once everything was done, his body turned into tiny blue particles, surrounding his body like a beautiful flock of butterflies.

They gnawed at his body, in painless peace.

If what he now thought was regret, then, he would definitely crave for the time to come.

“I love you, Pandora.”

[10...]

[Movement commences. Welcome to {Divine Protection: Pride System}, Master!]

Instantly.

Rogant disappears, leaving the only silence where he is.

\=\=\=[★★★★★★]\=\=\=

When he realized, his surroundings were a dark place and filled with large shady trees.

The sun was still standing above the sky, smiling cheerfully to the happy world.

He immediately understood that he was in the forest.

But—

Which forest is he in?

“Can anyone explain it for me?”

[Can I help you, Master?]

“Woo!!”

Rogant's eyebrows shot up, a little surprised when he heard a reply coming from inside his own head.

He had a strange feeling, and it was a difficult experience to explain.

“You, earlier I also heard your voice in that place, who are you exactly?”

['Who?' Master, maybe that question is a little less precise. Since I am nothing, I am just a tool that you will use. But, if you ask 'What?', then I will answer, that I am {Divine Protection: Pride System}. A power assigned to you to use.]

“Deployed...?”

Hearing that, Rogant frowned a little, frowning,

“Can you tell me who it is?”

[Pandora Or'l Happiness.]

As soon as Rogant heard his name, he smiled, as if he had been possessed.

His expression was like he was staring at a dark past, with a cold leak within his dark gaze.

[Master?]

Sensing that there was something strange about his master's behavior, he tried to ask.

The teenager, who was asked, simply blinked his eyes in the form of his answer, and heeded the topic with clear behavior.

“Hey, Pride-chan, can you tell me what you have in there?”

[You mean?]

“You previously said you were a force, right? I asked, what power is that?”

Rogant explained, in a language that is easy to understand even for SD children.

About a power that he meant, make his curiosity also increased, and make Rogant look like an elementary school boy who guessed the contents of his birthday gift.

[Well, if about it—]

“Pride-chan? What's up?”

Confused, Rogant tilted his head, on the suspicion he had, it was suspicious.

The words of the Pride System were suddenly obstructed, making the atmosphere around them slightly stunned.

After that, in silence starting from a question, bring real disaster—

[Master, a very fitting time, you can feel your strength with direct experience.]

Not having time to ask what he meant, the disaster in question had come first beyond what he had expected.

Exceeding the art of violence, the canines of a pack of wolves lunged and tore at Rogant's body in a matter of seconds.

—When he realized it, he was dead.

\=\=\=[★★★★★★]\=\=\=

—I heard a hateful voice, but it was not directed at me.

—Hate-clad words haunt a crying girl, I feel like I know who she is.

—That's creepy, so creepy that I can't take it anymore.

—Destroyed by the pressure of sound that does not capture his hateful desires.

—That girl gripped my soul and didn't want to escape.

—The more dependent you are on life, the more certain you will hurt others, the lips move.

—Because the earliest and most important, I regret and feel guilty because we are sinking into the depths.

—My soul grimaced, staring at countless books.

—The girl walked over, approached me and gave me a book of her choice.

—A moment later, I managed to rewrite my destiny.
