Chapter 98: Couldn’t a girl get a moment of peace?

Alice watched the gate, gritting her teeth.

The wind blew harshly, blowing her hair back and her robe, in the form of a jacket, flapped with the wind.

She thought she got away, so why was there a gate spawning right next to her?

It was almost like…

Almost like it chased her.

She blinked her eyes, finding that off.

Wait a minute.

Why did this seem like the gate was looking for her?

*It seems you’ve noticed.* Leo said and she glanced to her side, where she felt Leo would be if he were speaking to her in a real form.

“Notice what?” She asked.

*The gates…

They’re trying to spawn out exactly where you are.* He said.

*They’re following you.* Alice heard him out and sighed.

That was the most outrageous thing she had heard this evening and quite suspicious too.

“Leo, what is this?” She shook her head in disappointment and sighed once more.

“Are you playing tricks with me just because I said I won’t fight the small monsters?

Is this an illusion?” She asked, still in disbelief that something like that would suddenly happen.

The gates were following her?

What a piece of crap that was.

Leo was probably messing with her head, trying to get her back for the things she said to him.

“If it’s an apology you’re looking for, you’re not going to get it, so stop with the tricks.” She said, dropping her hands on her hips but the air suddenly thickened more.

A foul stench seeped out of the cracks of the half-spawned gate, and that reminded her of the demon she had faced.

But it wasn’t as foul.

It was just…

There.

Just what is it this time?

Just when she wanted to live a little bit quietly and peacefully till she started school, she had to fight monsters?

Again?

The universe was definitely against her, no doubt.

And Leo…

He probably had a hand in it.

He wouldn’t admit it but she was sure of it.

How was it possible for a gate to follow a mere human?

Couldn’t a girl get a moment of peace?

*Alice, there are so many possibilities in this world.* Leo preached to her and she rolled her eyes.

“So, you’re saying it knew I would bail out on the first one and so it decided to create a decoy?” She asked, stubbornly shutting her eyes against her possible reality.

*I believe so.* Leo said but this still didn’t make any sense.

Did the gate have a mind of its own?

Who was the one planning these bizarre scenarios anyway?

*They are after you.* Leo suddenly said.

“They?” *Alice, buckle up.

I’m about to say something unknown.* He said, giving her a heads-up that she would probably feel that splitting headache like she was going to die.

But he wouldn’t reveal so much that her brain would start bleeding.

*Alice, you are currently the strongest human with the strongest energy, ‘they’ may have decided to go after you because of that.* “And why will they go after me because I’m the strongest?” She asked, folding her arms.

“You know I’m not the brightest of minds, so spill it out properly.” *What would you do if you had a bag of cheese that you wanted to squash and use for your ingredients, but then you get pestered by rats, the original lover of cheese?* “I’d kill them, obviously.” *But you can’t kill them because there’s this particular rat that just won’t let you get what you want.

It tricks you into hurting yourself and all your traps don’t work either.* He added and Alice gave it a thought.

Then, she finally realized where he was getting at.

“Ahh, I see.” She said.

“So, they want to get rid of me, because I fouled their plans.

Isn’t it?” *That is correct.* “And who are ‘they’ that you keep speaking about?” She asked him and he answered, *The crooked beings.

Adversary of the constellations.

The evil beings that want to destroy every world and make it as they please.* He explained and Alice’s head throbbed like a loud heartbeat.

She clutched it.

There it was.

That crushing and splitting headache.

She tried to prepare herself, but she didn’t think there was any way to prepare to experience such pain.

She went down on her knees, holding her head.

Crooked beings!

Crooked beings!

They were that powerful?

Were they the ones creating the gates?

She remembered that demon saying something about being the emissary of the crooked beings.

Then that meant they were the ones sending the monsters.

Instead of focusing on the pain, she focused on the questions that she could only find little answers to on her own.

*Are you okay?* Leo asked, and she nodded, wiping her mouth with her sleeve arm.

“Yeah.” She stood up to her feet.

“No blood this time around.” *The crooked beings would stop at nothing to destroy this world, so if someone was being supported directly by a constellation, then they would go after that being first to take out the obstacles of their plans.* Leo explained and she nodded.

“Yeah, I got the memo.” She was exhausted.

How did she agree to become the main character again?

Ah yes, she didn’t have a choice.

At least, in this life, she didn’t remember making that choice.

She didn’t know what her past self agreed to this or what led to making a contract with the father of the freaking system, but it was her in the end, so she probably had a reason.

The crooked beings were acting.

They wanted to eliminate her while it was still early.

And as such…

They would definitely send their strongest after her.

Alice watched the thick red gate shine in beauty and then it spread its ominous energy around like a heartbeat, alerting the awakeneds that were nearby.

Devon, Mark, and everyone else, who were waiting for the monsters to start pouring out, raised their heads toward the roof, wondering where that ominous and frightening energy was coming from.

They caught sight of Alice standing at the edge of the building.

She was where that ominous energy was coming from.
