Chapter 71 Freya's Growth
Chapter 71 Freya's Growth
'W-what's happening?'
'How long has it been?'
'I-I'm scared...'
'But Oppa said it's alright...'
'Yes... yes... it's alright. I trust Oppa...'
Although her consciousness faded, for some reason she maintained her lucidity. Her sight was pure darkness, she heard her beating heart amidst the silence and serenity as it depicts the lonely vacuum of the cosmos where countless resplendent stars seemed like they have a life on their own.
After an unknown period of time, Freya Moon heard a sound in her head. It was a very familiar sound because it was from the System that everyone in the Great Universe has.
"Ha-!"
Her reaction as she opened her eyes was someone who had just a nightmare.
She looked around, recognizing the bed beside the couch she was sitting on, the slightly long rectangular glass table in front of the couch, as well as the television and the wall clock, hanging on the wall just above it. She looked outside, seeing the bluish moon that illuminates everything as its moonlight intensified.
'How much time had passed?'
Freya thought as she looked at the wall clock hanging above the wall.
'11:32 PM... I was gone for three to four hours...'
Sighed... She heaved a sigh of relief inwardly as she thought that it might be longer because she didn't have any idea how fast or slow time was flowing in that pure darkness of space.
She reined in her thoughts to check the numerous notifications coming from the System.
[You have gained the Title: The One Who Witnessed the Impossible.]
[You have gained the Title: One Who Saw the True Embodiment of Death.]
[You have returned from the 'River of Pure Darkness'.]
[You have received the 'Blessings' of the Ruler of Death upon the Goddess of Night's approval.]
As she read the first four System messages, she was snapped back to reality because she felt that her body was so light. Then, after five to six seconds, she continued reading the System messages.
[You have received the item, 'Necklace with a Living Eye'.]
[You have received the item, 'Treasure Box with a Living Eye'.]
[You have passed the qualification to be Death's Executioner!]
"What qualification did I pass?"
Freya muttered, her voice echoing in the quiet dorm room where the moonlight pierced its window.
"At the very least, the ability to kill others for someone's sake."
"Is that so... I guess you're ---"
Freya's voice was cut off as she realized there was a figure sitting on the edge of her bed, while another figure was lying down on it.
She almost jumped in fright as if she saw a ghost.
"O-oppa?? Amelie??"
Her older brother was sitting on the edge of her bed while Amelie was lying down, looking at her with a smile.
Freya was just going to ask how they were here when she recalled that her older brother has the ability to traverse in the shadows, while Amelie has a skill called 'Spade Warp', and has a transformation ability called 'Shade Transformation.' But for some reason, authorities inside the Obelisk Academy couldn't detect their presence as if they were the embodiment of 'nothing'.
"Congrats..."
Russell Moon said succinctly with a genuine tone of joy as his lips curled up.
For quite a while prior to the situation right now, he was worried because the Goddess of Night didn't ask about his younger sister, but Amelie instead. But when he heard about Freya's repeated dreams of floating in the pure darkness of space and standing in front of different races kneeling, awaiting their executions, Russell realized what was the path that was meant for his younger sister.
He felt like laughing, not to mock the 'Death Executioner' profession, but realizing the setting he made in his unpublished novel regarding it.
'The Goddess of Night asked me to grant her the Chaos Trait by using my Unique Skill, but I'm sure Freya already has one...'
He didn't know why the Goddess asked him, but considering that it would give Freya an additional overall stat of 150 points, and recalling that making someone a Chaos Companion might make the mysterious 'Egg' give him something, it was favorable for him.
'Besides, I need the bonus stats I'll get to increase my Stamina so I can consume that Fruit of Chaos...'
Russell thought as Freya smiled at him before he said...
"Go, take care of that first, we'll make some food."
He looked at Amelie who responded with a nod before they went to the kitchen.

Freya had myriads of reactions as she kept reading the System Messages randomly, but most of them were eyes of wonder as if she was thrown into a whole different kind of world.
After some time, she checked her 'Detailed' Status Window.

Russell and Amelie finished preparing some food after a few minutes.
They prepared Alastor-made buns with Bhaskan chocolate cream and Cassiopeian Ice Tea.
Russell sat on the right side of his younger sister who seemed in a daze, pondering about something, while Amelie sat on the left side.
"How is it??"
Russell asked as he used his skill Gaze of the Abyss to check his younger sister's Status Window. He focused on the traits as he realized something.
'I see... that's how it is.'
He noticed that despite Freya having received the trait of Chaos, she didn't have the trait 'Nihility' that often accompanies it.
Russell realized the intent behind the Goddess of Night's order to use the Chaos Buff on his younger sister.
"I can't fathom everything..."
Freya, who checked the information seemed at a loss for words.
"That's what I experience, too. Hehe."
Amelie said, recalling the experience and change she had when her Constellation, 'Lady of the Shaded Spade,' made a contract with her.
Russell reached for a glass of Cassiopeian Ice Tea, drinking a mouthful of it.
"Oppa, I don't understand the description attached beside my new profession... it says, 'Designation: Human Domain..."
Russell choked on his Cassiopeian drinks, preventing the previous situation of spitting a drink out in front of them.
