Chapter 90 : Comes Back
Chapter 90 : Comes Back
Five days have passed since that incident, and during this time, Lysandra and I have been venturing through Zone 3, facing demons and collecting their cores. The company of someone to share these feats with has proven to be incredibly comforting. Amidst adversity, we have forged a bond that goes beyond mere survival.
With each day, I have had the opportunity to get to know my future wife better. Discovering her personality has been a fascinating journey; she is a person of charming simplicity, always full of curiosity about the world around her. Although her past was marked by corruption and confinement within her own body, her spirit remains radiant and full of vitality.
In many ways, her attitude reminds me of that of a little girl, exploring a new world with wonder and excitement.
Our conversations are a mix of fun and excitement. We share stories, dreams, and reflections on our journey. Despite the difficulties we face, there is always a glimmer of joy in her eyes, a spark of hope that propels us forward.
One detail that does not go unnoticed is how Lysandra, in moments of rest, firmly grasps my hand, as if fearing that I might somehow vanish. It is a gesture that reveals her need for closeness and protection, but also a sign of the trust she has gradually placed in me.
Teaming up with Lysandra was a decision I made with conviction, and to some extent, I was surprised that I had almost forgotten that I had a system that I stopped using long ago. Although her options are limited, the skills she offers, such as footwork and handling of a grade 4 sword, are crucial to have in my hands.
With all this, I still have the possibility of being able to kill a titan, but looking at Lysandra, who is smiling from ear to ear while grabbing my arm and looking around, with her, it will be much easier to achieve a true name and to carry out the exploration in Zone 4 to see if we can find the flower that Elsa needs so much, but we will talk about that later in town, right now I need to be focused on what I came to do in this place.
One of the greatest advantages that the system gives me is the ability to purify mana orbs, an invaluable skill that can purify one hundred percent of the orb, thus helping me progress faster than anyone right now.
However, the lack of points to acquire items from the store is an obstacle that I cannot ignore. At this moment, monster hunting becomes even more vital, as I need to accumulate enough points to obtain the necessary resources. Although the task may be exhausting, I know it is a necessary step on my path to improvement and preparation for the challenges ahead.
The description of Lysandra as a magical swordsman with natural, yet terrifyingly beautiful powers, is fascinating. The way she channels nature for her abilities, creating an environment full of life and vitality even in the midst of darkness and corruption, is truly amazing.
It is interesting how her power manifests itself in such a unique and powerful way, yet at the same time retains a beauty that contrasts with the malevolence of the demons. The image of the trees and vines she summons, full of energy and color, creates an impressive and comforting spectacle in a world dominated by darkness.
However, the most striking thing is the change she undergoes when entering combat. The transformation of her expression, from innocent and sweet to full of hatred and resentment, reveals the deep emotional connection she has with her purpose of fighting corruption.
It is evident that she carries a considerable emotional burden, and the way she channels that pain into fighting the demons shows her determination and inner strength.
Despite the brutality of her actions in combat, it is evident that Lysandra is finding a way to release her anguish in a more controlled and effective manner.
Her ability to channel her anger and resentment towards the destruction of corrupt forces, but somehow managing to control herself, is a problem that needs to be addressed somehow, sometimes losing control during a confrontation is not good at all, and even more so if the creature has the ability to speak.

The night sky stretches out above us, but instead of the thousands of stars I expected to see, I only find a sea of ??gray clouds. A sigh escapes my lips as I reflect on the beauty and danger surrounding this place. Although the view is impressive, I need to see some stars. Observing the night sky has become a rooted habit for me, a way to find peace and reflection, especially before sleeping.
"What's wrong?" I hear a sweet voice beside me, and turning my head, I meet Lysandra's bright red eyes. They are small lights in the darkness, absolutely beautiful. "I was just thinking about how pretty your eyes are," I tell her with a gentle smile.
She lowers her head shyly, but still, a smile peeks through on her face. It's a peculiar contrast, her shyness mixed with straightforward honesty. It's a charming trait that makes her even more special to me.
We find ourselves lying on the trunk of a tree that Lysandra has created with her magic, with her resting on my chest. The rough bark of the tree provides us with firm and comforting support as we gaze at the night sky. As the days go by, we have grown closer, and experiencing this relationship is a new and exciting sensation for me.
During our conversations, we have shared stories about our families, although Lysandra cannot remember hers. She has told me about the fragments of blurry memories she has, like glimpses of a past she can barely make out. Despite that, her spirit is resilient, and her determination is evident in every word she speaks.
I have also told her about the empire and my plans to join the imperial academy. At first, she didn't know what an academy was, so I had to explain it to her.
During my explanation, her eyes shone with intensity, showing a glimmer of excitement at the prospect of learning and growing in a new and exciting environment for her, plus she will be with people her own age, this will help her grow and understand even faster.
However, a problem arose: her rank is Medium-Platinum, which means she would be considered a second-year student, a year older than me, who would enter as a first-year student. At first, she was a bit reluctant and upset because she wanted to be with me all the time. But I managed to convince her with sweet words and promises that I would always visit her after my classes.
Although it was a challenge, knowing that we will share this new experience together at the imperial academy fills me with excitement and anticipation.

Time seemed to stand still as we immersed ourselves in a comfortable silence, where words were not necessary. We simply reveled in each other's warmth and company. It was a feeling that filled my heart in a way I had never experienced before.
Watching Lysandra, already asleep and vulnerable, I was overcome with a sense of tenderness and protection. It was fascinating to think that just a few hours ago she had been fiercely fighting demons. The irony of seeing her now in peace and serenity, as if she were a sleeping child, brought a satisfied smile to my face.
Holding her a little tighter, I gently stroked her small and delicate body. I felt comforted by her presence and the bond we had developed. I leaned in and placed a sweet, gentle kiss on her forehead. Although we still didn't feel ready for a kiss on the lips, that display of affection was enough for now.
Shaking my head forcefully, I tried to clear my mind of any strange thoughts that might have arisen at that moment. I knew we had plenty of time ahead to explore and discover more about each other. For now, all that mattered was the warmth of her body against mine and the tranquility we felt in that moment.
I want to build a firm and stable relationship based on respect and trust, but it takes time to reach all that.
The tiredness finally began to weigh on me after a few more minutes. The warmth emanating from Lysandra's body seemed to envelop me, inviting me to relax even more. Holding her tighter, I allowed my body to surrender to the sleep that called to me.
I closed my eyes slowly, letting the darkness of the night engulf me. My mind plunged into a deep calm as I let myself be carried away by Lysandra's comforting embrace. At that moment, there was nothing but the sweet sound of Lysandra's breathing and the sense of peace that flooded my being.
My consciousness sinks into a deep darkness as if trying to devour me alive, my mind wanders through the abyss until...
