May Soul Dissonance Bow Before Me

Chapter 16

Silence fell over everyone, and soon the video appeared upon the dim Palantír, gradually brightening the room once more as an entirely new and completely unfamiliar sight was revealed to the audience from the two timelines. Naur began his narrations and with ease the others settled in to watch while paying careful attention – they were all curious now, but many not for obvious reasons.

<Chapter 730: Must Not Be Sane>
The numerous failures started breaking.
‘…Oh, this is good.’
If it was unable to test him, then didn’t that mean that it would pass him on to the next test?

It was beneficial for Cale to skip a level.
– Proceeding to the next test as according to the manual.
‘Oh. This is great.’
As color returned to Cale’s face…
– Next test, indignity. The difficulty level of the indignity test has been modified to two times the normal level.
‘Hmm? …This is not good.’

“You don’t say…” Kim Rok Soo grumbled from his new seat at the Henituse Family table. Many of the occupants of both worlds were now seated side-by-side with their counterparts. The break as well as Mairon’s influence near them during lunch seemed to have had the desired effect.

<Chapter 731: Pushing forward too rashly>
‘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. 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.
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.
