Transmigrated With A Resolution System

Mune had a devious smirk on her lips to his words.

[Did master miss me?] Mune wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.

Nix's breath hitched at her words, temporarily stunned by her choice of words and how it targeted his emotions especially.

He had missed her presence since his system had gone MIA. There were times he needed her active energy and sharp wit. The one thing he wished could return was her size. She reminded him of a sister-like figure to Lumina.

If others could see her as he was, Nix was certain she would be mistaken as a blood relative of Lumina.

'Why did my desire turn out this way?' Nix internally facepalmed.

Getting straight to the matter of urgency, Mune called his attention back to why she was called upon.

'Syth...' he paused, thinking things through as he continued. 'What is syth?'

The words of Zephyr still clouded his thoughts on how unsettling it made him feel. He could tell that the word related to him a great deal.

Mune gasped at the word, looking to her left, then her right before she spoke.

[Where did you hear this, master?] She said in a hushed whisper even though no one apart from Nix could hear her.

'The white-haired suspicious person over there.' Nix nodded in the direction of Zephyr.

[Don't let him know... he's one of those people] Mune narrowed her eyes at Zephyr, scared about what he would have recalled for him to say those words.

'Mune, what you're saying doesn't make any sense.' Nix complained, agitated that he had to go through a whirlwind ride of confusion.

[There are only a few people who could accurately tell the difference between a burnt substance caused by a fire user like you are and with the smell known as 'syth' and those naturally burnt] Mune explained, skeptical about how and where Zephyr could have smelt such a substance.

Nix raised a brow at her explanation, as much as he wanted to believe what she said, it still didn't explain how that related to why he felt anxious.

'Mune, please explain to me something that relates to how I feel about the subject.' Nix called out desperately, there was no time to lose on this. They couldn't be stuck in motion for so long.

Mune blinked several times as she tried to process what he meant.

[He has come in contact with something that has your gift all over it, preferably back at your home, the remains of the burnt home] Mune facepalmed, giving that she needed to give an in-depth explanation of this strange phenomenon.

Nix's eyes grew twice their size at the revelation, never had he imagined that action would cause such a backlog that would hunt him down.

[From the knowledge that I have acquired, he had lost his memory. Hypothetically speaking, he didn't just lose his memory but also his soul] Mune rubbed her chin, evidently skeptical about the true nature of Zephyr.

Nix took a step back, the words of Hana haunted his thoughts once more.

'No... It can't be.' Nix shook his head, refusing to believe what Hana had told him.

Mune couldn't place what was giving him a hard time, nor why he was refusing to believe her guesses.

That was the only logical explanation for what was going on.

Casting a look over to Zephyr, the pieces were starting to align slowly. He hadn't thought things through before, but the more he stared at him, the more the answers slapped him in the face.

'Why didn't I get this before?' Nix took a step back, unsure of the revelation.

His teeth gritted as he focused on the truth of what was going on. 'How dare he try to ruin all I had planned to build here once more?!"

His eyes burned with rage. Hana had told him of a transmigrator that would try to thwart his plans. He had been so blind not to see the signs right before him.

The clues–the exchanged glares between them, the fact that he reminded him so much of his ex-friend, Drui.

'How the heck is he here? What did I ever do to him?!' Nix glared daggers at Zephyr, ready to carry out what he had failed to do in their world.

[Master?] Mune cried out in worry, suspicious about his actions.

In a bid to bring him to his senses, she stood in front of him, her hands spread out at her sides. [No, you cannot] She stated firmly.

'Move," Nix warned through gritted teeth, his glare still fixated on Zephyr.

This very person he had hoped to escape from had been allocated the job to thwart the plans he so desperately wants to finish. He had been betrayed once, it was only logical that he would again if he put his trust in a liar.

[Killing him wouldn't solve the problem,]

Shaking his head to her words, he let out a bitter laugh. "It would solve a lot of things, trust me."

He proceeded to move forward, making the best use of the stopped time to his advantage.

[Getting your revenge without knowing the answers or the person in question, defenseless; would never elevate the hurt in your heart]

'Bullshit! I refuse to be manipulated once more. If he is one of those who can detect this, then I hate to say this, but he would give out my secret.' Nix snarled, angered by the fact that he couldn't do anything until he crossed the border in the form of Mune.

[You know the right thing to do, master... I know it]

With those final words, she dissipated with a bright smile.

Nix's anger began to subside, he could see a timer count down from 20 seconds, he could only assume it signaled the looming end of the whole slow motion.

'If I can't kill him now, I can at least do something before everything reverts to its normal timing.' Nix snickered in his thoughts about the plan he had in place of the first.

[00:00:14]

His lips curved up into a smile as he approached Zephyr.

'I would never have envisioned you coming back haunting me. Well, guess what? I am not the stupid little friend you once knew.' He sneered, staring daggers at him.

Balling his hands in a fist, he brought it behind him, landing a punch on Zephyr's face.

"Ha!" He let out a satisfied laugh. His chest heaving as he watched Zephyr slowly fall to the ground.

Thud!

The timer was just three seconds away from deactivating.

Feeling his energy drain drastically, he dropped to the floor, coughing and taking in air the best way he could.

Deactivating his gift, he readied himself for the heart-wrenching notification, knowing he had exceeded the given time after being reckless with his energy points.

[252 energy points deducted]

[Gift: Fire deactivated. Energy level critical at 48 points]

'I got what I deserve.' Nix had a bitter smile on his lips, his hair obscuring his face from the others.

Zephyr let out a gasp at the awkward position he was in, not understanding how he had gotten to the ground.

Sharp pain on his forehead and nose caused him to groan and frown.

'What the hell happened to me?!' Zephyr pinched the bridge of his nose.

Raising his head, he locked his gaze on Nix who was also on the floor but out of breath.

"Are you alright, dude?" Lank went on one knee, examining his friend by pulling up his face to see the extent of the strain he had endured.

Lank's hold on his cheek forcefully put Nix in a pout. "Hmmm... you just need rest, with that little brain of yours working its magic, we were able to scale through this one."

Nix pulled his head away from Lank's grip, hitting his head before his mouth spewed more nonsense.

"For once in your life, use your little brain when speaking with me!" Nix scolded, before abruptly coughing and feeling the toll of using his physical strength.

"It's what friends do, you dimwit! I'm trying to care for you, but all you do is hit me." Lank feigned sadness, whimpering.

Nix couldn't take that face and be almost tempted to hit him once more.

On second thought, he rubbed his chin and said with a smile, "Thank you."

They stared at each other, none saying a word to the other, almost feeling as though they were the only ones in the forest.

Suddenly, they burst out in a laughing fit.

Zephyr watched with curious eyes, his eyes brimmed with sad tears, their interaction made him feel a bittersweet nostalgic feeling, wishing he could recreate that with the Nix in his world.

"You two disappoint me!" Solis spat, "how dare you two cheat on those beautiful ladies waiting for you with yourselves? I assume it's high time they know the truth."

Solis rubbed his palms in mischief, quite satisfied with the plan to cause a bit of chaos when they returned.
