SWNOVELXO Chapter 8: A Talk
"Ha... its' been a long day," Klaus sighed looking up at the moon
"Tell me...why are you really here...I know it's not just to help your host survive. everyone else has a system so that can't be it,"
[Because things will become worse. Not just goblins orcs and a few dragons. Gods, Demons ancient spirits from the old world will come here as time goes on]
"...How many will die?"
[At least 60% of the population]
"...huh alright...I-I know what I have to do. But first I need to get to the tree," Klaus sighed hearing the reply
While Klaus was staring at the night sky Jessica, who couldn't sleep, walked outside and approached him.
"Hey..."
Hey, can't sleep?" Klaus asked
"Yeah...can't stop thinking about all that's has happened," Jessica said sitting next to him
Looking over at her Klaus saw that her eyes were puffy probably from crying and she was still slightly shaking.
Wrapping his hand around her Klaus tried his best to comfort her and make her feel safe.
"It's going to be okay...We will get through this new world,"
"I-I know you will...but I'm...I'm just a burden for you I couldn't even help you fight and I even almost got the others killed," Jessica said as tears started to form
Seeing that Klasu felt a sting of pain in his chest.
"I told you it was fine...I shouldn't have put you in front of such a large group," Klaus replied
"No I shouldn't have frozen I should have been ready. I shouldn't have been scared more like you," Jessica replied
"What you don't think I get scared? I'm scared out of my mind anytime I fight,"
"What do you mean you're strong you can fight them so easily without even getting blood on you," Jessica said
"No, I'm not scared of the monsters I'm scared that if I fall here that something will happen to you...t-that's what scares me," Klaus replied slightly nervous
Hearing that Jessica looked at Klaus and saw him for the first time. Not the crying little boy who lost his parents but a young man who has already grown up.
"...You know...You have grown up into a fine young man. I didn't realize my Klaus was so grown now," Jessica laughed placing a hand on his cheek
As the two stared into each other's eyes they didn't realize Damian who had been standing at the doorway for a few moments.
"mh...mh...Sorry to interrupt but I need to borrow Klaus from you," Damian said with a small laugh
Hearing Damian both Jessica and Klaus became blushed and looked away from each other.
"I'm going to get some rest...Make sure you do too," Jessica said before walking back inside
"W-what did you need Damian?" Klaus asked
"We got to talk...I need to know if you are still human. All day you have been fighting. have eaten once then you said you weren't hungry now you say you don't feel tired," Damian said sitting next to him
"That I can't explain...I think it has to do with my change. For some reason, I don't feel tired or hungry...I feel fine," Klaus replied
"...Okay next what's up with the spear. It floats around following you and can change from at command,"
"Don't you recognize it?" Klaus asked
"No...Should I?" Damian asked
(What? We watched Seven Deadly Sins together how does he not remember?) Klaus asked himself
"Does seven deadly sins ring a bell to you?"
"Yeah We watched it together," Damian replied
"And the character King what weapon did he use?"
"A Halberd... why are you asking me these questions?" Damian asked
(What's going on system?)
[Anytime you receive an item from a different universe it is replaced to maintain balance. The weapon you have is not a copy but directly from the Universe of Seven Deadly Sins]
(So what happens if I summon a person?)
[Replaced with something else like they were never missing]
(...I guess that makes things a little easier. People won't be gunning from my head at the chance to receive powers. They will think it from the system they have)
[Correct]
"Hello, what's up you went all quiet on me?" Damina asked
"Yeah, it's nothing just wondering...Anyway, the spear it comes from the tree. Don't know how I know but something is telling me it does," Klaus replied
"I see...Well you should head in and get some rest I will stay watch for a few hours," Damian said standing up
"Don't worry I will be fine. I'm actually going to hunt for a bit and clear a little path. I will be back in a few hours," Klaus said standing up
"Wait why that dangerous? You could meet something you can't beat alone," Damian said
"Because I want to see what's out there and make the path clearer for the others,"
"...Other...you mean Jessica...You're still in love with her aren't you?"
"...I will be back in a few hours," Klaus said before walking away
"Yup you're still in love," Damian laughed
Ignoring Damian, Klaus made his way out of the school grounds to the street. Once he got a good distance from the school he opened his system.

Moving over to his summoning tab he used the only ticket he had a C-rank summon. Clicking on the C-rank a silver ticket appeared in his hand.
[All you have to do is tear the ticket to use it]
Doing what the system said he tore the ticket and as he did the ticket began breaking apart into pieces and emitting a white light.
"What the hell?" Klaus said closing his eyes
While his eyes were closed he heard the sound of someone else's voice.
"So you're the guy who summoned me...What the fuck do you want?" a feminine voice asked with a pissed-off tone
Opening his eyes Klaus was surprised by who he saw. A woman with long dark burgundy hair, wearing a black tank top that exposed her stomach and denim shorts, a pair of black fingerless gloves and brown leather cross-draw shoulder holsters with two Berettas with a cigarette in her mouth.
