'Double the difficulty?'
The voice continued just as Cale thought that this was really wrong.
It was a mechanical voice without any emotions.
– Determining the target of indignity.
'Target? Am I not the target?'
The voice quickly continued before Cale could even organize his thoughts.
– Determined the target within the challenger's data who has faced the most indignity under the requirements.
– There are two qualified individuals.
– Based on the increased difficulty, the test will take two levels.
– Based on the increased difficulty, new test conditions required. Modifications necessary.
– Starting the optimization.
"Ugh!"
Cale subconsciously touched his eyes.
The purple colored area started to warp.
– Optimization 30%.
– 40%
Cale's insides were churning the further the optimization progressed.
It felt as if he got on a roller coaster without the safety bar after having a bottle of Makgeolli. (TL: A Korean alcoholic beverage)
Basically, he felt as if he was going to die.
'I'm going to hurl.'
The voice spoke sternly as he had that thought.
– Optimization complete.
The optimization had finally ended.
However, Cale's insides were still churning.
Unfortunately, the voice did not wait for him.
– Indignity test version 1.5 is now starting.
Paaaat!
The purple light surrounded Cale.
* * *
"Son of a..."
Something like his insides churning was no longer a problem for Cale.
"This is bad."
What he saw after the purple light disappeared was the sky at dawn.
It was the twilight hour, just before the darkness disappeared and the sun came up.
The night was slowly moving aside despite the sun not being up yet. This time in between night and morning... It was truly a beautiful period of time.
However, Cale couldn't pay any attention to this beautiful sky.
"I..."
He looked down at his hands and then raised his head.
"I am Venion Stan's lackey?"
He could see a stupid and cruel looking bastard's reflection in the window.
That was the body Cale was in right now.
Venion Stan.
The bastard of the House of Stan who had imprisoned and tortured Raon. The bastard who did not simply try to tame Raon, but did things he should never do.
"Haaaa."
Cale knew the person he was possessing right now.
During that time when they visited the Stan territory to take care of the issue between Raon and Venion Stan...
