"Wait… what?" Sekai muttered, then he seemed to shake it off immediately, as if he couldn't properly comprehend it.

Alec raised a brow. There was something strange about this transmigrator as well. There had been a slightest flash of yellow, and if Alec hadn't been staring directly at the transmigrator's face, he would have missed it entirely.

There had been a brief spark as the comprehension in his eyes shook, and it slid away like there was nothing there, reverting back to the previous hostility.

"It's all your fault I'm on this planet! And that I can't find a lover!" Sekai charged forward, sword in hand.

Alec repeated the exact same sentence to confirm his theory that something was wrong with this Main Character. "I said that you'd be 'unmatched in the entire world' and that women would find you repulsive, but do you really think the Mainframe would allow that to happen?"

"Wait… What?" Sekai's blade faltered, as he was hit by a strange sense of déjà vu.

There was a deep furrow on Sekai's brows now, and he clutched his head, his breath coming out in pants.

"What the fuck… what is this? What did you do to me?" Sekai glared at Alec, before he shook his head. "No… it wasn't you…"

There was seriously something wrong with the Main Character. It seemed as if someone had stuck a seal of sorts onto him that was doing something to his mental state.

This time, Alec saw it when it repeated again. He wasn't sure if it was because it was the second time round that the seal couldn't react as fast, but he saw the golden glow swirl a fraction slower around Sekai's head before it disappeared as it sunk under skin.

Sekai clutched his head, glaring at the face that he so dearly wanted to plant a fist into.

Once again, the company was getting in his way. Again!

The Main Character ground his teeth, but he could already tell that his sense of balance was out of shot, like it always was whenever that damn seal acted up.

Sekai could have screamed, with how frustrated he was.

He'd finally met the System again after so many years, only to be thwarted in his revenge from the company!

What was it that the System said that had caused such a reaction from the brand?

What the fuck? He'd never experienced such blatant tampering from the brand before.

Try as he might, he could not recall the words that the System had spat out at him.

Before Sekai could think any further, Alec knocked out the Main Character before he did anything stupid like try and lop his own neck off. Seriously.

That was the feeling the idiot gave him in their brief interaction both before and after he became a transmigrator.

It felt like he was interacting with a pure muscle-brained idiot that didn't think before he did things.

He pulled the other by the back of his shirt, dragging him bodily into the cave without much care.


Honestly.

He couldn't even properly get his anger going and duke it out with the idiot who'd been the one who sent him down to this damn planet.

With the idiot getting a seal stuck on him that limited his mental capabilities, it'd have felt like he was hitting a mentally disabled person. How annoying.

Ye Sha peered at the Main Character curiously. "So, this is the idiot that got you punished, huh?"

Both Systems stared at the Main Character.

The furrow between Sekai's brows was still there even after he'd been knocked unconscious, and Alec sniffed. "It appears so," he said, disgruntled.

Alec felt annoyed, like he'd felt the entire time he had to stick close to Ophelia.

He'd briefly felt his rage get going, and he'd been preparing for a proper fight, only for it to be ruined by this idiot. Again.

He couldn't even work out his rage now since it'd dwindled into annoyance levels instead.

Alec dumped the idiot on the floor before thinking better about it.

He spotted a large hole on the ground, filled with sand, so he dumped the idiot in there with only his head sticking out.

Alec poured a whole lot of water into the hole, filling it up, and the mixture inside became a mix between set sand and mud.

The System casually Awakened the mixture inside, telling it to keep a hold of Sekai when he woke up.

Of course, he could have just stuck a paralysis seal on the idiot before he woke, but what was the fun in that?

While most of Alec's temper had been tempered over the years he spent as a human, that didn't mean that he forgave the idiot for being the one who forced him to change in the first place.

Of course he had to take petty revenge in every way he could.

Still though, just what in the world was he doing here before that caused such loud explosions? And numerous times at that?

The cave was mostly bare, with numerous shallow craters that looked like the results of explosions, and inside was covered with a thick layer of dust.

With a sole torchlight hanging at the top of the cave ceiling, Alec's eyes locked onto loose sheets of paper scattered all around on the floor.

Upon further inspection, he saw what looked like shattered remains of a calligraphy pen, and the smile on Alec's face tightened a bit.

He walked closer to the paper and saw…

He saw…

Sekai shot from unconsciousness to consciousness in the span of one second, and his eyes darted around.

The first thing he did when he woke like that was to sense the surroundings for any hostilities and bloodlust.

There wasn't.

His eyes opened, and the first thing he saw was the System's face.

He surged forward reflexively, only to be stopped.

Stunned, he glanced around, and found that he was stuck in the hole that he'd been using good use of the past few days.

"What the hell? What is this?"

Sekai struggled to get free from the mixture, but it felt as if something was dragging him back from neck down.

Sekai's arms flailed recklessly underneath, but he couldn't even move a muscle. In the end, he (bafflingly) plonked his forehead on the flat surface outside of the hole, his veins bulging as he tried in vain to pull himself out using his face alone.

Ye Sha snorted, unheard.

Just as Sekai was about to ask again, he was egged on by the smile on the System's face, and he roared, trying again.

The idiot went through the process around twenty times until he was all tired out.

Sekai glowered at Alec's face. "What do you want?"

Alec didn't say anything, just tilting his head.

The smile on his face was rather wide, and the more Sekai stared at it, the more he felt a little freaked out.

It wasn't normal for someone to just smile and say nothing when someone struggled in front of them.

Sekai always heard from others that he was a freak, but honestly, they should look at this System before they said anything!

Sekai's head shrunk back carefully, a wary expression coming over his face.

Somehow, he felt as if something was wrong.

Then, he saw the wad of papers clutched in the System's hand.

While the System looked completely casual and gentle with that smile, the hand that was clutching the papers spoke of something else together.

His knuckles were white with how hard he was clutching the papers.

"Hey, hey, hey! Stop it! You're wrinkling them!"

But his words had an adverse effect.

Instead of loosening, they tightened even more. "My seals!"

Alec instantly felt the rage ignite inside of him.

"Seals?" he said deceptively calmly. His voice didn't raise a single octave. "You call these… seals!?"

The papers smacked Sekai on the face with surprising force. The Main Character had to wonder just how much force was used to achieve that effect.

The papers slid down Sekai's face. He looked at the System warily. "Yeah. What's wrong with that?"

"Everything is wrong with it!" Alec exploded, reaching down and pulling both sides of the man's cheeks.

He pulled hard, startling a shout from Sekai.

"Ouwh!"
