Avoid Yandere Constellation

At that moment, Lise and Lisanna began to feel something off about Kaine not returning. Naturally, they turned their attention to Kage.

“Junior, is it true that the Young Master went to the bathroom?”

“Kid, just tell us the truth.”

The two of them pressed Kage, who was sweating profusely. Then…

-Whistle!

Kage whistled and looked at the distant mountains. Her tail swayed from side to side. Lise narrowed her eyes at her.

‘I knew something was off.’

Even though the situation was relaxed, it was strange for Kaine to go to the bathroom. Of course, it was so relaxed that it could even be considered peaceful.

‘The Young Master isn’t the type to go to the bathroom in such a situation.’

Even if he was usually light-hearted, he became serious when it mattered. So, it was strange for him to go to the bathroom in this situation.

Lise looked at Kage, who was trying to act calm. Then, she noticed the snacks in her hand and asked…

“By the way, Junior.”

“Huh? What?”

Kage stuttered at her cold tone. Lise smiled and asked…

“Where did you get those snacks? As far as I know, those are the Young Master’s favorite snacks.”

“Uh, well…”

Maybe it was because she saw Lise’s scary expression for the first time in a while. She remembered being beaten by her in the name of training.

Kage had PTSD. As she was sweating, Lisanna took out the snacks…

“I’ll give you this if you tell me the truth.”

She took out snacks that could only be obtained by waiting two hours in the capital. Then, Lisanna waved the snacks in front of Kage’s eyes. Kage…

-Gulp!

Saliva formed in her mouth. Should she choose loyalty to her master or tell the truth and get the snacks? Either way, she would suffer a loss. But it was clear which choice would be more painful. Ꞧ𝘈ŊỘβΕs

‘Master, I’m sorry!’

After making up her mind, Kage told the truth.

I looked at the status window in front of me.

David von Kaine. Age: 21. Traits: Game Setting Ability, Return by Death, Temperament Change, Transformation. Talents: Magic, Delusion, Demonic power. Points: 8,000.

Hmm. 8,000 points. With this many points, I could buy quite a few talents or traits and still have a lot left.

“It’s time to buy something.”

Recently, I hadn’t spent any points. I had been busy improving my physical abilities. But now, I had some leeway. Of course, I still couldn’t handle things perfectly.

‘But it’s not bad.’

Unlike before, I could now maintain my abilities in actual combat. At my current level, I could easily defeat a branch leader. So, it was unlikely that I would die in a physical fight.

‘Of course, there are exceptions to this rule.’

Such exceptions were rare, so they could be ignored. Anyway…

‘What should I buy now?’

As I thought this, I scrolled through the Cash Shop. Maybe it was because it had been a while since I last visited.

I felt excited, like I was flexing after getting my first paycheck. Three minutes passed. I thought I would quickly decide with 8,000 points, but contrary to my expectations…

‘Hmm. There are too many things I want to buy.’

If I had to pick the four things I wanted the most, they would be swordsmanship, elixirs, physical abilities, and Wordless casting. First, let’s talk about swordsmanship. Recently, I thought that a certain level of technique was enough. To be honest, I was stuck in the mindset that strength was more important than technique. But after fighting the branch leader, I realized how important technique was. Despite being much weaker than me, he was able to hold his own with his technique. So, I was drawn to swordsmanship. If I invested in swordsmanship, my technique would definitely improve. Of course, it was also because I was from a knight family.

‘Well, that’s about swordsmanship.’

Next, the elixirs. The problem with these elixirs was that they were too ambiguous. The reason I didn’t provide detailed explanations and just called them elixirs was…

‘They’re random.’

If they were guaranteed to give specific elixirs, it would be a different story. But since they were random, there was a chance of getting a jackpot elixir.

‘But the chance of getting a dud is also high.’

No, it was definitely higher. In games, it’s a common practice to increase the chances of getting a dud to encourage microtransactions.

‘And I often got duds when I played the game.’

The problem wasn’t just that. The random nature of the elixirs wasn’t the only issue. To draw just one, it cost 2,500 points.

That’s why this gacha system was so ambiguous. If you’re unlucky, you could waste points.

‘But maybe I’ll get a huge jackpot.’

I looked at the physical abilities. The reason I wanted to buy this was simple. My current physical abilities were too weak compared to my strength.

After fighting the branch leader for a short time, my body was in tatters. However, that didn’t mean…

‘It’s not that serious.’

But I still wanted to quickly overcome this weakness. After all, people naturally want to quickly improve their weaknesses.

‘Anyway, finally.’

Wordless casting. This didn’t need much explanation since Skaya already had it. In reality, if you could use magic well, this was an incredible trait. But…

‘It’s a bit ambiguous for me to use.’

Wordless casting was a great trait, but that was only because Skaya used it to make it seem like a cheat. If I used it…

‘It probably won’t be as good.’

Unlike Skaya, who had learned magic from a young age, I hadn’t. So, even if I had Wordless casting, could I use it like her? In my opinion, no. I hadn’t learned as many spells as her.

‘In reality, I use only physical enhancement.’

Of course, that didn’t mean I hadn’t learned other spells. But I had only learned mid-level and low-level spells. I hadn’t touched high-level spells yet.

‘If I get this, it’ll be like putting pearls before swine.’

After all, Wordless casting was the most expensive of the four, costing 8,000 points. I would have to spend all my points. Of course, it also had its advantages.

If I had to name one advantage for me, it was that I wouldn’t have to make cringy middle schooler-like statements. In reality, just this advantage alone was more than enough reason to buy it.

‘Hmm. This is a tough decision.’

I sank into deep thought for about a minute. Then, I made up my mind…

‘Life is all about luck!’

Without hesitation, I clicked on the elixir gacha. At the same time…

-Pong!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

An old treasure chest appeared in the air. I quickly opened the chest with a grand gesture, hoping for the best.

-Waaak!

Light radiated from the chest. It was like a 5-star character was about to appear.

‘This is it! It has to be!’

I closed my eyes tightly against the blinding light. Then, I slowly opened my eyes and saw a congratulatory message.

[Congratulations! You have won a stamina pill♪♩]

You fucking bastards! I felt like blood was rushing to my head. In a way, this stamina pill was exactly what I needed.

The female companions had been trying to make me faint from sexual excitement. But the reason I was angry was…

“Damn it! Even if I take this, I’ll still faint from sexual excitement!!!”

Because it was a useless item.

When I spent money on the game, did I not get this item? Of course, I got it a lot. And did I keep it?

‘Of course not.’

It was just taking up space, so I fed it to Kim Su-yong every time I got it. But…

‘The result was still dying from sexual excitement.’

In other words, taking this pill would still lead to dying from sexual excitement. So, the stamina pill was a dud item in the elixir gacha.

‘Damn them.’

As I thought about it, I felt a surge of anger. I had spent 2,500 points, and all I got was a useless stamina pill.

‘Does this even work?’

I doubted the developers as I put the stamina pill into my pocket dimension ring. At the same time…

‘Damn it. I’ll try again.’

I opened the Cash Shop without hesitation. I couldn’t just end it like this. If I lost 2,500 points and did nothing, my pride wouldn’t allow it.

I scrolled down and put my hand on the random elixir. Like a gambling addict who thought that the next draw would be the jackpot. Then, I bought it again.

-Pong!

Just like before, a small chest appeared in the air. But…

‘Hmm. This one seems better.’

Unlike before, this time, a shiny chest appeared.

‘I remember that quite a few good items came out of that chest.’

Of course, good items also came out of the old chest.

‘Anyway, I don’t have time for this.’

I needed to open it quickly. Unlike before, I could hear the roars of monsters.

‘As far as I can see, Fate is definitely on her way here.’

So, this time, I didn’t prepare and quickly opened the chest.

-Waaak!

The chest radiated light, just like before. Then…

[Congratulations! You have won a Dragon Heart♪♩]

‘Hmm? Dragon Heart?’

I rubbed my eyes, thinking I might have seen wrong. Fortunately, my eyes were fine, and the quest message still appeared in my vision.

‘Is this even possible?’

When something unexpected happens, it’s normal for a person’s rationality to be temporarily paralyzed. That’s why, even though I hit the jackpot, I was still in a daze.

Dragon Heart. As far as I remembered…

‘The ability was only listed as ???’

It’s not my fault that I don’t know much about this ability. After all, no one had obtained this ability until now.

When it was first announced, the veterans did all sorts of things to get it. But, as if to screw with the players, no one actually got it. It was as if this item had never existed in the first place.

No wonder the game setting only listed it as ??? Even as a veteran, it was impossible for me to know the details of this item.

‘Hmm. Something that didn’t appear in the game is appearing here.’

I felt a bit strange.

‘I shouldn’t eat this right now.’

I calmly put it into my pocket dimension ring. I wanted to eat it right away, but someone would be here soon. So, I needed to eat it later. If I ate it now, I wouldn’t be able to digest it properly. Just then…

“Huh? Kaine?”

The Goddess of Fate’s voice reached my ears. I turned towards her.

“Yeah, you came faster than I expected.”

“Yeah, I just wanted to finish quickly and rest. But it seems like it’s already over.”

“Yeah.”

As I nodded, she looked disappointed. Her reaction suggested that she really wanted to tear apart the branch leader.

‘I would feel the same.’

As I thought this, I opened my mouth…

“Then, let’s quickly return and rest.”

“Sigh. Okay.”

So, we headed towards our companions.

.

.

.

After about 10 minutes, we arrived at our destination. As expected, all our companions had already gathered there. As Fate and I naturally joined them…

“…….” “…….”

Lise and Lisanna looked at us. No, to be precise, they were looking at my body. As if examining something.

‘What’s going on? Why are they looking at me like that?’

I knew that sneaking out would be noticed, but it was only natural. It would be strange if they didn’t notice after a few minutes.

But the problem wasn’t that. They were looking at me like I was a cheating boyfriend. I didn’t understand, so I examined my state. At the same time…

‘Damn.’

I realized what was going on. My current appearance was like that of a man who had just finished a quickie. And Fate’s clothes were also a bit disheveled from slaughtering monsters. As I was about to explain, Lise and Lisanna approached me and asked…

“Young Master, where did you go and what did you do to make your clothes look like this?”

“Honey, how intense was it that you’re sweating so much?”

“….?”

“By the way, Fate finished earlier and rushed to him.”

“Yeah, that’s right! I saw it too!”

The two constellations were pouring oil on the fire. I looked at Fate with a sense of injustice. And as expected…

“Kaine, please be more gentle next time…”

She dealt the final blow to the burning house. Damn it.
