Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel

Chapter 125 A Gift Fallen From The Sky



Looking at Seveleen with a thoughtful look, Zick got lost in his thoughts.

This encounter was really unpredictable and mysterious. He had expected to meet with familiar people of the academic city but he had not thought it would be in the middle of this danger zone.

The alchemy tower was collecting the people of the academic city rapidly and was looking for the cause of their mysterious appearance. In this situation, it would be hard to find someone from the academic city.

And because of this, Zick decided to head toward the Hevertec kingdom whose order and influence was in shambles, he could move a lot unrestrained there.

This was the best place where he could start his new identity again. This place also fulfilled many of his needs, talented people, a surplus mission from the organization, and as well as to make a name for himself.

Zick was going to make two names for himself, one was a saviour who saved millions of people from the pandemic, and the second was an evil criminal working under the Everlor organization.

He needed to appear as a good person in front of the helper and harem members of the novel. This was the best way to make them work under him.

And the second one was for himself, he wanted to increase his strength by collecting many types of elixir to increase potential and strength.

After all, the most trustworthy thing in the world was oneself. Zick knew this better than anyone.

Walking before Seveleen who had already lost consciousness and was freezing to death. Zick couldn't hide his joyous mood.

This was an opportunity for him!

By making Seveleen indebted to him, Zick could use her better than he originally thought. Really, a gift fallen from the sky.

"Hm, She is on the verge of death..." Zick immediately touched Seveleen's back which was frozen in a thin layer of frost.

The thin layer of frost broke easily when Zick put a little pressure on it. Holding tightly to the dress worn by her, He picked her up and covered her whole body in a layer of mana.

Seveleen's current condition was really bad, she breathed in a ragged manner. Her face was deathly pale with blood circulation slowed down all around her body.

She was wearing an ordinary blue dress right at the moment to not gather any attention upon herself.

Feeling his mana deplete at a faster rate, Zick quickly got upon the snow wolf, while putting Seveleen in front of him.

The snow wolf started moving swiftly in a little disordered manner. Their group was also in shambles after the death of many snow wolves in the prior clash against the mind monster.

Seveleen's platinum-white hair waved in the harsh wind. Her breathing stabilized a little, not looking like it would stop anytime soon.

"Hmm." While supporting Seveleen with one hand, Zick noticed something which made his expression change. His heart almost jumped.

There was a black spot on Seveleen's neck showing that she was affected by the Revelner disease.

Zick calmed down fast, he knew a lot about this disease including the way to cure it. He was going to use that to be reborn as 'justice', in name at least.

So he knew that this disease wouldn't affect him, a high-rank knight unless he is exposed to a large amount of this disease at once.

Being calm, a brilliant idea formed in his mind.

What if he saved her when she was on the brink of death?

Wouldn't this make her all the more indebted to him?

Zick knew that Seveleen was the kind of girl who would repay kindness with kindness and hatred with hatred.

'I can even take it further than that...If she were to fall madly in love with me, it would be the best outcome. I know a lot about her through the novel so it shouldn't be a problem for me.'

Zick had a handsome face, the only thing he needed was a charismatic attitude. Which could be faked easily by him.

He could just abandon her if he felt his life was in danger anyway. He had long thrown his consciousness in the garbage can, becoming perfect trash.

'Hm...I shouldn't change my attitude by a large degree at once. Instead, changing it slowly is the correct answer to not make her suspicious.'

'Now I just have to pick up the cure for this disease and recruit Varine into the group of meatshields.'

Originally, Zick planned on going to the city on the other side of the mountain region but the snowstorm changed his plan. He was planning on returning to the city he came from and then going to the Organization's base again.

"Akh..." Seveleen made a pained expression and started moving her body around.

She didn't fall off as Zick held her properly. She was just a normal human being without her magic.

Ignoring Seveleen who moaned in pain, Zick continued thinking of his plan.

They soon reached the second snow wolf pack's habitat, which was a cave too. The snow wolves howled announcing their return to the wolves within the cave.

HOWL!

An answer returned from within the cave but Zick didn't care and released his dragon fear at full force as the snow wolf took him into the cave.

In no time all the snow wolves started whimpering and showing submissive poses. There were another 26 snow wolves within the cave including pups and old ones who were near death.

To be sure that Seveleen's body doesn't get too cold, Zick ordered the snow wolves to become her pillow.

Right now, Seveleen's back was supported by a big snow wolf and there were another two sleeping on her thighs, placing their soft and warm white mane on her.

'That should do.' Creating a fireball, Zick made it float near Seveleen and sat crossed-legged one metre from her.

Next, he started gathering mana. He multitasked without any problem as these tasks didn't get in each other's way.

Zick didn't try checking Seveleen's space ring as she would find out about it when she woke up. To look at the content of a space ring one has to fill it with their 'will' and right now, her space ring was filled with her will but when Zick would take over his 'will' would override hers so she would be able to know immediately when checked.

Now with Seveleen along with him, Zick started considering what he should do.

He wasn't willing to give up on Varine now that he had Seveleen. The more talented and strong people he has the more the chances of him killing the demon lord.

His current goal of killing the demon lord hadn't changed.

The demon lord and Zick would clash inevitably as their goal didn't go well with each other at all. One wanted to destroy the whole human race and the other one who was a human wanted to live to fulfil his goal.

Zick didn't want to give up on anything that could come in useful to him. Exposing the crystal mine to Seveleen wasn't an option either. He would appear extremely suspicious and he would have to share some benefits then or else he would appear like the very self-centred person that he is.

Thinking swiftly he found answers one by one to all his questions to the best of his abilities.

'I should just send Seveleen away by lending one of the snow wolves. I do have one monster-taming collar I kept in my space ring to study.'

Zick didn't want any unnecessary baggage with him in this situation, after all, it would increase the risks to his life. This went well with his personality too so Seveleen wouldn't find it weird. He also had a perfect excuse to go into the mountain region prepared.

Taking out the hat he kept back in the space ring, Zick put it back on his head to hide the horns.

After another three hours, Seveleen woke up feeling a slight headache. Her face formed a frown on its own.

The first thing she heard was the snoring of the snow wolf. And the warmth around her made it comfortable.

Opening her beautiful deep blue eyes and blinking to adjust her sight. The thing that entered her sight made her dazed for a second. Two snow wolves slept on her lap like tamed dogs. She immediately froze, not moving because of fear of being attacked.

There was also a fireball floating above her head pouring its warmth into her body. She remembered that she was in the middle of an unending snow plane. There was nothing but the sound of the snowstorm and the pure white snow that fell from the sky.

Compared to that, this place was too peaceful, so peaceful that it made her feel eerie and weird.

Looking past the fireball, Seveleen could see Zick sitting with a concentrated expression.

What surprised her was that she could feel a little of his presence, unlike the first time she met him. This showed that something happened.

Seveleen also felt a little scared of Zick for some reason.

Zick was still releasing a little dragon to not let the snow wolf get out of his control.

"Zick..." Seveleen felt weak and exhausted even now making her voice sound weak.

Zick opened his eyes hearing Seveleen's fragile voice.

"So you woke up." Zick nodded his head and continued.

"Long time no see, miss Seveleen." Though Seveleen didn't add an honorific, Zick still used one. He still had an impassive look with dull eyes.

Hearing this, Seveleen was immediately taken aback. Meeting someone from the academic city made many emotions rise within. But she didn't let the complex emotions show on her face.

Seveleen looked closely at Zick before continuing. "Mister Zick, I advise you to keep some distance from me...I have been infected by a disease-"

Seveleen spoke trying to warn Zick but was stopped in the middle by him.

"I already know, it won't affect me so you don't have to worry. Instead of that, let's talk about something else, is there any problem with your body?" Zick continued the conversation naturally showing that he was a person who could be talked to, unlike before.
