LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 14: Miracle
"Veronica?" I instinctively read the name on the screen, not knowing it was Vera's real name; I wondered why she would lie. Maybe she didn't like her name?
"Please, just call me Vera. So? How much HP do I have left?" Vera asks once again as I get alarmed by her shockingly small number. It's a genuinely horrifying thing.
"You've got 100 HP left. But Vera! How can I give you some of my HP!? You're my only friend here! You can't die! I don't want you to die!" Vera slightly chuckles as she retrieves her hand from my cell. What was so funny?
"You are far too noble, Yoimiya. I've lost quite a bit of Health since my last trip to the outside world. At this rate, I'll be dead within a week." Why was Vera speaking in such a manner? I know how awful one can feel, but we aren't meant to surrender so easily! Why isn't she clinging to life like me?!
Why is she so quickly giving up?! Why? WHY!? Back in my world, I clung to life till the very last second to the last breath. I wanted to survive at all times. All the horrible things I did during my short run were all to preserve my own life, and yet she gave up so quickly!? Without a fight?!
How can I justify her death?! How could I ever surrender like her? Why wasn't she fighting with all her might to stay alive?! I killed people to survive. I ate rotten food to nourish myself. I watched death, wrath, rape, murder. I also experienced my fair share of evilness, and yet I never surrendered.
I became a tiny monster of trauma and instability, but I never surrendered. I grew angrier with Vera as if I could do something about her poor condition. What could I do? Was I really this useless?! Have I always been meaningless?! Have I always been alone?

[Dark magic incompatible with the Despair Sins series]
I was so distracted that I didn't even notice the new screens that showed up next to me as I kept falling into despair. I began to feel alone, as if god had truly abandoned me, but had he? Or she? Did god even have a gender? That demon is always near, wanting me to fall to sin, and despair is one of them. No, I will not surrender.
"Good try, demon. I almost fell into that one, but you'll need something better if you want me to accept you as a god." I felt relieved as I came to terms with my scrutiny, realizing it was all the devil wanted me to consider. I had survived death and was brought back to life and had a good start until now. I must stay strong. God was with me.
Goodness is with me. I was blessed to land in a new world with a unique power. The Queen has blessed me, and I've made a new friend. I've learned new things, established that this world works like a system, and come to terms with my ego.
If there's a force that looks for my destruction, then by the laws of nature, there must also be a force for goodness! If there is such a thing, whoever controls this reasonable force, please allow me to break free! I need your help! Whoever is the ruler of this new world!
An immediate shock gets delivered directly to my body as I finish my thoughts. The thing around my chest gleaned brighter than ever as it delivered its punishment, alerting Nora. Who quickly shows up from the same portal as before.
"You never learn, do you!?" Nora angrily shouts while she puts her keys into my cell, preparing to hit me again, and I simply grind my teeth, preparing for the worst, but this time with the new mindset of not giving her the satisfaction.
"One day, I'll feed you your own heart, Nora. That's a promise." The lady soon stops opening the door as I feel a sudden rush of confidence, not noticing the dark aura growing within me. It's only when Vera tells me about it that I see.
"You're free, Yoimiya. You broke the slave curse." Vera's words soon made me realize an extraordinary mist around me. Like a faint haze of darkness while the seal in my chest slowly vanished from existence.
"Impossible! You shouldn't be able to break the seal! Nobody can!" Yet I had, but another problem arose as the darkness grew larger and larger until the entire room got covered with it, eventually swallowing me whole. Time slowed until my body and soul disappeared into another realm of existence, a dark void of pure emptiness.
I became nothing as I drifted into my power until a light stopped me from moving further into the void. A man's shape slowly formed as it spoke to me in a godly tone. What was that figure? Where even was I? I simply tried to tap into my realm of power, but it seemed like I lost control when I did so. Was dark power that intense?
I only felt a slight tingle, enough to send me here. I must be careful, or I'll end up doing something I might regret, but how am I meant to control or regulate this power if it gives me zero cues as to when to stop?!
"Oh! Hey there! You seem lost; this is too soon for you, my guy. I'm impressed you even managed to tap into this realm. I will return to your reality before you spend more time here. Every second on this plane of existence is about an hour outside."
"I can't control it! I was only trying to manifest my power for the first time! I can't regulate the flow of it! Can you help!?" The figure laughed as it clapped, seemingly in disbelief.
"Oh, man! The universe has finally chosen one more of you. I thought you looked too young to be a wise old wizard. I'll help you with your power control. Consider it a miracle since you were the one who called for me in the first place." Was the creature before me the so-called "Andromeda?"
"Are you Andromeda?" The creature soon replied with a clear
"You got it. Now, back to your reality! I'll bless your necklace to become your power regulator! It will become tied to your stats until you legitimately break free from the system through the proper channels. Skipping all the hard work wouldn't be fair to anyone, not even you."
