In the Name of God - Chapter 19.2
Does this mean it’s outside the area the system can control?
-But since the system gave you quests and assigned adaptation stats, this is likely one of the necessary conditions for Master to be able to ‘exist’ in this world. That’s certain!
Existence maintenance.
Then the fact that synchronizing with the Shadow Fragment restores fragmented memories, including memories of my apostle, could also mean it is a minimum condition for me to remain in this world.
‘I feel dizzy.’
If you forcibly dragged a dead person here, couldn’t you at least explain things simply without going in circles? Don’t they know that simple is best?
I felt my head heat up and pressed my hand to my forehead.
“…Alright. Anyway, where am I?”
Echo’s eyes, looking up at me, narrowed for a moment in disbelief.
This little guy, is there really a person inside him?
-You’re asking very quickly. Shouldn’t that have been your first question?
“I don’t think the owner of this house intends to torture me to the point of wanting to die or use me as a punching bag until I’m dead.”
-…What kind of life have you lived?
“Just answer. Where is this place?”
In Seong Do‑yoon’s memory, there had been no one this rich. There were a few pretending to be wealthy just to milk me, but none like this.
-It is Lee Sunho’s house.
Lee Sunho?
I finally realized that the person who had been there when I fainted was Lee Sunho.
I was surprised once by realizing this, and surprised again that he was a silver spoon.
-I also couldn’t come out until Master called, so I’ve just now confirmed the location. Scanning indicates that Lee Sunho does not seem to be home…
Echo’s words suddenly stopped. As he sensed something, I also detected a faint presence approaching from afar.
‘It really is Lee Sunho.’
He seemed to have no intention of being cautious, making his presence obvious.
In the dungeon, he moved silently like a shadow when approaching suddenly, but when moving together, he deliberately made his presence known, as if to signal where he was. Like now.
Lee Sunho approached the bedroom straight on without deviating, knocking calmly.
“May I come in?”
He seemed to know I was awake.
There were no CCTV cameras or other surveillance, but he had a sharp intuition.
I stayed still without answering, and he knocked once more.
“Seong Do‑yoon, may I come in?”
I waited a little longer.
By now, he could have opened the door or come later, but he still waited politely outside for my answer. He didn’t even knock or ask after a while.
Only after some time did I get up first.
‘What am I even doing?’
I’m not training a well-behaved dog to wait.
When I got up and opened the door, Lee Sunho was standing there with a black coat draped over one arm, smiling slightly. He carried a faint scent of wind.
“Are you okay?”
I liked how he asked briefly without inspecting me from head to toe.
“Thank you for your help.”
“For this much, it’s nothing.”
Lee Sunho shrugged and looked down. He carefully held my pale hand, which still bore traces of the IV needle. He lightly rubbed the hardened spot where a bit of blood had seeped.
“I kept my promise and didn’t go to the hospital. You slept all day, so I just set up some fluids.”
“Thank you for caring.”
When I had fainted, I had feared waking up in an emergency room, but Lee Sunho seemed like someone who listens well.
“Do you have any illnesses?”
I didn’t know. I had never had a medical checkup with this body.
Given the relationship between my remaining lifespan and body condition, it wouldn’t be surprising if there were serious illnesses.
“Well… it’s not contagious.”
“It wouldn’t matter if it were contagious.”
I think I misheard something just now.
