The Extra’s Survival: Logging into the Game Master System! Chapter 95: [An Old Story!]

"-_-"

Her eyes were constantly gazing at , as I slowly cooked the pie. I was mostly done, but with her eyes staring at so intently, I was feeling chills all over my body.

"Can you please stop staring like that?" I finally asked as my patience ran out, while I continued with the cooking. The pie was basically ready and I just needed to serve it now, though I decided to cut it into 6 pieces before giving her 3.

"How can I not? What you have said is basically absurd. Sothing like that shouldn't even exist to begin with," she spoke as she observed . It would have looked pretty serious if not for that idiotic smile on her face.

"Well. It's not like there is anything of loss for you as well," I spoke as I passed on 3 pieces of pie to her. It was a bit hot, so I changed my [Energy] into [Ice Mana], before using it to cool the pie down.

"Thank you," she thanked and then ate a piece of the pie with that sa stupid smile on her face.

"Nom nom… I know that… nom nom… mmh it's good… but it doesn't seem… nom nom… ah! The perfect strawberry pie… like it is possible… nom nom… tasty-"

-Bam!

"Either eat or talk or complint the food. Don't do it all at once," I stuck her head, making her look at with an intent gaze. Looking at how she was rubbing her head with a joyous expression, it made wonder if she was macho or sothing.

And thinking that I slid my chair a few steps away from her.

"You can even hit … seriously. I guess, you really aren't bound by the system, huh?" She spoke as she curiously observed for a few seconds before she looked at the pie,"ah! It's getting cold!" And then she began eating it once again.

I could almost bet that she was more worried about that pie than right now.

"Are you really… nom nom… mmhh… going to connect the tutorial and the safe zone?" She spoke as she looked at with a doubtful gaze as continued,"I don't think I can trust you that much, you know?"

I passed 2 of the three pieces of my pie towards her.

"Maybe I can trust you, but will it work?" Her attitude changed once again as I sighed. Well, at least it was going in a positive direction?

Though before I can decide what to say, she spoke again, this ti her voice a bit more serious than before,

"All right. I will help you out. I don't think I have anything worth losing in what you are trying, in fact I can gain another place where I can visit from ti to ti."

Even though there was a smile present on her face, her eyes… They looked rather sad. Lonely a little.

"What is it? Does sothing bother you? It would be better if I have all your doubts cleared or else there could be unnecessary complications later. In case you have a change of heart, you know?" I spoke as I took a bite from the strawberry pie piece that I had.

She had two strawberry pies in each hand, and another one was in her mouth as she was gulping it down. Though her eyes were focused on the one that I was eating. Finishing the one in her mouth, she then spoke,

"It's not that. Honestly, I don't care much about it really. I am helping you out cause it seems fun. The worst that can happen is die, which is honestly still better in my opinion. It's just that… my husband. I wish he could see this beautiful world with .

He loved the thought of adventuring but… "

She then put down the strawberry pie, while a sigh escaped her mouth. Looking at her making that expression, I couldn't help but get curious,

"What happened to your husband?"

"Hmmm… well, it's a very old story but a long ti ago there was another admin of the first floor. Being the soul of the first floor, he was the only one who could see , and perhaps he was the only one there with . Living with him for a long ti, obviously we fell in love, even got married," she spoke as she explained her story a bit.

Her eyes gazed distantly in the empty space, sa as the ti when I found her at the central tower.

"Then one random day, there was a system ssage that he was promoted to the 46th Floor. And without any warning, any words, he was just teleported to that floor. A new admin, Clair, took her place and explained a few things to on how the Admin on that floor was imprisoned by the tower for sothing he did, and how the tower has promoted the First Floor's admin to that floor."

"I can't leave the first floor. And the Admins of Floor 40 to 60, can't go co below 40 or go above 60. Though what was worse, I heard that all his mories of were erased, making him go insane and throwing the entire floor into chaos. That is all I know…"

A silence covered the entire area as I looked at her taking a deep sigh. I could see a couple of tears escaping her eyes, while I wondered what I should say next.

"The 46th Floor Admin, Novak. He has currently locked himself up in his castle," and a voice appeared from a distance as three people appeared within the kitchen. A man and two won that had the worst stench of that corrupted energy that I had seen up until now.

Though despite having that stench, I can sense that they were strong. Far far stronger than anyone I have t up until this point in the tower.

As I was wondering who they were, I saw Annabeth and the Admin, Balthazar, walking behind them, observing us with a saddened expression.

'Were they listening to the story?' I questioned as they walked closer to and Nora. Nora had her eyes narrowed at them, a bit varied and a bit cautious. If I were to guess who they were then, probably the people from the [Corrupted Ones]? They were here faster than I thought.

'It hasn't even been an hour, has it?' I guess I underestimated them.

"You must be the Soul of the First Floor," that man spoke as he politely bowed before speaking,"I apologize for causing problems for you. As for compensation, I can tell you about your husband. I am from the 46th Floor, after all."

Though he was speaking to Nora, his eyes were peeking at from the corner of his eyes. Even the two girls beside him were constantly gazing at , as if I were a zoo animal or sothing. A mix of surprise and shock was apparent on their expression, while I simply looked at Annabeth with a question filled gaze.

"My husband? How is he?" Hearing his words, Nora's defense was down as a hurting look appeared on her face. She felt rather desperate as she looked at that man.

Annabeth slowly walked beside in the anwhile as that guy began explaining the story of her husband.

Apparently, her husband had lost his sanity due to sudden loss of mories and closed himself in his castle. The entire floor is dead with no life energy present on the floor. The 46th floor is a dead zone where nobody goes and is generally used in case of ergency gatherings such as for war.

Her husband is found to scream Nora's na at tis, though the screams that follow that na shudders the entire floor, killing all the plants in there. Plus the energy that flows out of the castle suffocates most of the weak players, so it's more of an instant death for those who weren't strong.

"That is all that I know about him. I apologize for the lack of more information," he spoke with a sad expression, while a stream of tears trickled down Nora's cheeks, as she looked at that man.

A look of desperation appeared on her face as she then turned to with hope,"hey you! Crowley! I will do it! I will help you out! will do anything you want! Can you… can you… please help my husband?

You don't forget about like the others, right? Can you go tell my husband about ? Tell him that I am fine? Tell him it's okay? He can forget about ! Please please!

I… It… it's too cruel… I… Crowley… Can you please…"

And once again I saw a woman crying in front of , breaking down, begging . And once again, I sighed as I wondered if I should really do it. The more I avoid being the center the more things beco complicated…

[I was going to ask you to save that Admin later, anyway. Though for now, it would be better for you to increase your strength. You aren't strong enough to handle it. Later you will not only save that admin, you can even bring him to Nora.]

I sent that ssage through the [Ga Master System], in front of , for everyone to see. While what I say directly would certainly have so effect, the words of a [???] contractor who can make changes to the [System] is way heavier than mine.

This way, I can avoid being the center of attention to so extent. Though before that…

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

I wonder how I am gonna handle the stupefied expressions of the people present here.
