Chapter 101: Get together Time (3) – Grotesque, Dialogue
Get together Time First Daybreak
– Yu Songee
— QUAAAAAKK!
I awoke from my sleep in the course of the evening. Turning the lights on, I checked the time and noticed it was 3 am.
Heading to the little nest I made with towels that had been all around the Resort, I spotted that Perro had completed consuming all the things I had ready already.
I needed to make extra meals.
Proper earlier than leaving the room, I circled and located Perro trying straight at me.
Remembering the warning, “Don’t go away it alone”, I deliberately left the door of Room 105 vast open in order that Perro might see me the entire time.
Outdoors Room 105 on the hall had been mountains of parrot meals that Eunsol-noona had ordered earlier than going to sleep.
After bringing the dry meals in and mixing it with some eggs, I gave it to Perro, who had been trying straight on the meals the entire time. He instantly pushed his beak into the bowl and began devouring it.
***
He hatched simply final evening and but was evidently a lot larger than earlier than.
Perro was now the scale of a small grownup parrot, and I didn’t must put the meals in a small syringe anymore. He might eat the nuts that had been included within the dry meals with out a difficulty.
He was additionally so extremely good that he knew pee and poo at a separate place.
Unexpectedly, this was a lot simpler than elevating puppies and kittens!
The one factor tiring about it was the quantity of meals that he ate.
It may be as a result of he was nonetheless rising. Regardless that he was just a bit bit larger than my hand, he nonetheless ate greater than a human baby and naturally, it took him a very long time to eat that a lot together with his tiny beak.
Watching him eat, I slowly went again to sleep.

— Kwang!!!
An incredible thud and influence woke me up instantly!
I discovered myself leaning on a wall after being flung into it.
“What’s happening!”
“What is occurring?”
“Huh? What’s unsuitable?”
We awoke in a stupor and realized that everybody else was in the same state throughout the room. It was when Elena, who had been sporting a negligee in her sleep, and Jinchul-oppa, who wasn’t sporting a prime, had been rapidly searching for garments to put on round them.
— Kwang!!!
Together with one other thud, the half-broken door of Room 105 was absolutely damaged.
We turned to the door in shock and located a monster we had been seeing for the primary time within the lodge.
It was round… 4 meters tall on the very least.
It appeared like a huge, horrendous ostrich, and its beak was massive sufficient to swallow my head entire.
Apart from, there have been sharp and durable feathers and scales protecting its physique, with tentacles and horns on its again as a substitute of wings.
It really resembled a monster that will come out in horror films!
Everybody was struck speechless.
The monster walked in by the damaged door, with its “eyes caught on me”.
Because it approached me, I felt the feelings of the monster being conveyed.
Pleasure. Aid. Happiness.
***
Wait, is that…?
Sadly, it was already too late.
“Everybody, watch out!”
Earlier than I might cease him, Jinchul-oppa ran out with a scream—
He smacked the beak of the big hen together with his fist and kicked its physique together with his foot, which made the monster roll out of the room in agony.
Like, why Is he so sturdy!?
“Wait! Everybody, please settle down—”
— PIYOOOOOO!
The monster within the hall – Perro – let loose a tough growl from its mouth.
Instantly upon listening to that, all types of feelings began effervescent inside me. Concern, disgust, and rage – it was a mix of unfavorable feelings all combined at random!
Is that one in every of Perro’s skills too? That is horrible timing although!
I belatedly protected myself with the bracelet, however everybody else was already getting overly stimulated by his roar.
Jinchul-oppa roared out whereas working on the hen.
It was the sight of a human working in at a 4-meter-tall hen, but it surely was clear which one in every of them was in peril.
Perro’s life is in danger!
Jinchul-oppa had already punched and kicked Perro to ship him flying, and it wasn’t a battle Perro might win simply because he was larger.
What was lucky, was that Perro was working away like loopy after instinctively realizing that.
Somebody grabbed me by my shoulder to wake me up from my confusion.
“That monster is the hen from the golden egg, proper?”
“Ahri? Are you okay?” I requested.
“I’m effective.”
We took some meat to placed on the grill. It was completely different from the same old surroundings contained in the Resort and felt extra refreshing and fascinating.
However anyway…
I used to be considering to myself when Ahri walked as much as the aspect.
“What are you fascinated by?” she requested.
“The hen and the grimoire.”
“Perro? He isn’t even fascinated by coming down from Songee’s shoulders. As for his skills, I suppose they’re becoming a monster and letting out a cry that performs along with your feelings.”
“There might be extra,” I replied.
“Even that is already fairly important. So, what is that this in regards to the grimoire?”
“This was my first time utilizing the grimoire, and there was one thing unusual about it.”
“On the best way… you talked about Possession and Incarnation. Because you stated you haven’t understood Incarnation but, this should be about Possession, sure?”
“Yeah.”
“What was it?”
“Except it was my mistake, the system window disappeared and there was an odd quantity on the underside proper.”
“Hmm.”
Ahri thought for a bit earlier than arising with a straightforward resolution.
“Apply it to me proper now.”
“Are you positive?”
“That is the quickest means. Simply apply it to me.”
***
Second Try.
Taking a look at Ahri, I considered taking off my physique and “sporting” Ahri’s physique.
My consciousness was pulled in and shortly… I discovered myself within the physique of a lovely teenage lady!
This felt bizarre abruptly.
To begin with, I checked an important factor first.
59:52
59:44
“…”
It was the identical as once I had possessed Perro.
The system window was gone and was changed by a small set of numbers. What these numbers meant was additionally fairly clear – it was a 1-hour timer.
Is there a time restrict on possession?
The Apostle didn’t have such a factor although?
Did they put a restriction on Possession, identical to how they eliminated the third potential, the Energy of Sacrifice?
I might perceive the restriction, however then why wasn’t I in a position to entry the system window?
It was very complicated.
Hmm… That was once I out of the blue felt an urge to do one thing silly.
I remembered seeing it from a film up to now. I barely lowered my fingers in the direction of the chest—
— Tung!
Immediately, my consciousness bounced off and I returned to my physique.
“AHAHAHA! What was that simply then? You had been like a major faculty child! Did you wanna contact them that badly?”
***
Ah! What the hell was I considering?
A flood of embarrassment and self-hatred made me decrease my head…
I wasn’t even curious in regards to the cause I used to be flung out of her physique. Pondering again, even when the Daughter of Heaven hypnotized us, Ahri was in a position to get up by herself. She was in all probability utilizing the identical factor.
“Do you continue to wish to contact?” she requested.
“…Sorry. It was simply within the second.”
“That was so humorous. Anyway, did one thing comparable occur once more?”
“Yeah, the system window was gone and there was a 1 hour timer. What do you suppose this implies?”
“The latter is easy – there appears to be a time restrict. Each the Bracelet and the Star Fragment had much less capabilities exterior of the Cursed Rooms, proper? It’s in all probability the identical factor for the Grimoire.”
“That’s a little bit of a disgrace… I assumed I had gained everlasting life with the grimoire.”
Everlasting Life.
Instantly after listening to that phrase, Ahri turned to the ceiling with a fairly melancholic look on her face.
It was occasions like this that actually made me marvel how outdated this lady was.
Though I had by no means raised it earlier than, I might at the very least assume that she was a lot older than what was urged by her outward look.
“You’ve in all probability already achieved everlasting life. Possibly even others.”
“What do you imply? I wouldn’t be capable to dwell an everlasting life by transferring our bodies if there’s a time restrict with Possession, proper? And what do you imply by others?”
“Have you ever seen Jinchul’s regeneration?”
“…”
“His pores and skin was on hearth, and bullets had been going by his physique however he regenerated all the things. Do you suppose our bodies like that will even age?”
“…”
“Identical along with your e-book. If the Resort was attempting to nerf the Grimoire itself, there would have been a report left behind identical to what occurred once they eliminated ‘Sacrifice’. However based on what you felt after studying the e-book, there wasn’t such a factor.”
“What do you imply by that?” I requested for clarification.
“What I’m saying is that the timer is irrelevant to the change made to the Grimoire itself. Each the disappearance of the system window and the timer are in all probability because of the identical factor.”
“The identical factor?”
“You needed to debate the ‘Descent’ as effectively, proper? What I’m going to let you know now’s associated to all the issues you might be having proper now. It’ll be fairly lengthy although, so be sure you /genesisforsaken
