Possessor #2 Just Wants to Fangirl Chapter 83

‘The prophecy sessions… aren’t needed?’

Flustered, I looked toward my babies, but Gyeon Junhwi and Ki Hyeonmin were absorbed in spreading a map on the floor.

Gyeon Junhwi noticed my gaze and looked up.

“Yeon Sora, did you have any other dreams?”

“Dreams?”

“Just wondering if something came up about what’ll happen when we leave.”

“……”

What is this situation?

“No, nothing else came up.”

“No teleportation scrolls left?”

“…Sorry, that scroll earlier was the last one.”

A lie.

Actually, I have one more scroll left.

But the scroll’s maximum capacity is six people, and our team has seven.

If I pull this out, Ki Hyeonmin will obviously say ‘You guys go first. I’m fine’ and solo traverse the desert, so I decided to hide it.

“Really? Then we’ll have to travel on foot for sure.”

Gyeon Junhwi showed no sign of disappointment and immediately returned his gaze to the map. Ki Hyeonmin also poured his attention back onto the map the moment my answer finished. And the two began busily planning their movement route.

“Djinn dislike water. If we go through oases, it’ll be a bit easier.”

“The west is marshland, so transporting unconscious people while moving will be tricky. Even if we walk more, let’s go via the eastern oasis…”

A refreshingly matter-of-fact attitude that prophecies and scrolls are nice to have, but fine without them too.

‘Is this… it?’

It makes sense for Gyeon Junhwi, who knew my setting from the start, but Ki Hyeonmin is unexpected.

I thought sharing my fortune-teller setting would deepen his suspicions and make him interrogate me more….

I’m scratching the back of my head for no reason when this time Yeom Juwan approached me.

“Sora, let’s check your temperature again.”

Temperature and blood pressure measurements resumed.

Juwan checked the results and furrowed his brow deeply.

“You, really no other symptoms?”

“Just feeling chilly?”

“Different from early seizure symptoms?”

“It’s just a light cold.”

“……”

“But Juwan, didn’t you say you also needed to talk with me?”

“We can do that outside, it’s not urgent. Rest comes first for now.”

Juwan seems satisfied with that earlier shouting match too.

In a way, it means my prophet coming-out operation Phase 1 worked too well, but I made such a big decision to open shop…

I was feeling oddly deflated and empty when,

“S-Sora! I-I’m curious about my future dreams!”

My only customer knocked on the door.

Right, you’re all I have, Boram!

* * *

I forced through with Han Boram’s prophecy session.

Juwan tried to dissuade me saying now wasn’t the time, but I had to put quite a bit of effort into convincing him that just sitting and talking wouldn’t be too much strain anyway.

Han Boram’s prophecy proceeded quite differently.

In the original, this child’s potential exploded too late, so I decided to add some more specific advice while I was at it.

“You’ll become the world’s strongest sorcerer in the future. If it has the name ‘sorcery’ attached, you’ll be able to do anything—a broken character.”

“R-really?”

“Yeah. If you put your mind to it, you can learn ancient sorcery and control corpses too. Even if people say things about using corpses, don’t be intimidated and just use them! But it’s better to use corpses with clear origins. There are plenty donated for scientific or magical research.”

Right, don’t give up on necromancy this time by hiding it—go confidently!

You barely used that in the original!

This unnie can embrace all of it!

“Wh-what about… b-blood or sacrifices?”

“There are trustworthy blood banks. Ask Junhwi for the list later and he’ll pull it for you. For sacrifices too, don’t bother hunting them yourself—better to use ones processed humanely at factories.”

I know several controversies Han Boram will face in the future. To prevent frustrating plots, I’m listing preventive measures one after another, when tears started welling up in Boram’s big eyes.

“S-Sora is r-really amazing….”

“How so?”

“E-even my mom and dad said I sh-should hide it….”

“No need for that. Let’s just live as we were born.”

The moment my words ended, Boram started bawling.

“Waaaah! I-I actually like this stuff, but e-everyone said it’s disgusting… Y-you’re the first person who said it’s g-good, Sora! S-so I also… waaaah!”

I patted Boram consolingly while falling into a small dilemma.

‘Your skill isn’t disgusting’ has somehow transformed into ‘feels good.’ Should I correct this or not, when—

Throb—

A sudden sharp headache struck.

Just as I was thinking I should get some painkillers too, Boram wiped away her tears and spoke again.

“S-Sora… y-you know that thing I used to p-protect Rahee.”

“That doll? You did well with that too. Thanks to you, we rescued Park Rahee before she died.”

“Y-yeah, th-that… it protects precious people, s-so since… J-Junhwi is also precious… c-can I protect him?”

She’s asking my permission to put a GPS on Gyeon Junhwi.

“That… isn’t bad?”

“R-really?”

There’s a slight concern about invasion of privacy, but….

Han Boram’s tracking technique operates on the concept of forming an invisible thread between two people. It’s not like displaying locations on a map or monitoring targets in real-time.

If used only in emergencies, wouldn’t it be fine?

When I’ve resolved to kill people anyway, having GPS prepared for crises would be good….

Not just Gyeon Junhwi, but all our team members could have one each….

Throb—

A sudden second headache struck.

This time tremendous pain hit then vanished in an instant. Soon my vision started spinning round and round.

“S-Sora?”

“Boram, call Juwan for a se—”

Before finishing the sentence, all strength drained from my body and I collapsed forward.

I fell quite noisily, but there’s no pain.

No, I can’t feel any sensations at all.

“S-Sora!”

Han Boram lifted my body, then her face hardened. The next moment, pale-faced Han Boram rushed out of the two-room.

“B-big trouble! S-Sora’s body is burning up!”

* * *

Yeon Sora’s body went into seizures.

Tremendous fever, apparently.

Seong Hayul gave her a special fever reducer that’s supposedly her family’s secret technique, but even that was useless.

“Th-this makes no sense! Our fever reducers have a 99.999999999% success rate! How can this not work?”

“I told you, Yeon Sora has a special constitution.”

“She was fine until just now! Why is this happening all of a sudden?”

“When temperature regulation doesn’t work well, seizures occur… but the desert climate seems to be making it progress differently than usual. We need to get her to a hospital within three hours.”

I thought Juwan constantly checking my temperature was overprotective… but there was a reason for everything.

‘Words… won’t come out.’

Even opening my mouth, words won’t come. Forget words, even initial consonants are impossible.

Thanks to the IV fluid I got earlier I haven’t fainted, but my mind is hazy.

Gyeon Junhwi and Ki Hyeonmin have extremely serious faces.

“We move immediately.”

“But outside there are still djinn…”

“Yeom Juwan, precautions during transport?”

“Every time her temperature rises 0.3 degrees, she needs to rest lying completely still for 10 minutes!”

“Ki Hyeonmin, you remember the Route 12 we discussed?”

“I remember. I’ll get us out of this area within 40 minutes.”

“I’ll carry Yeon Sora on my back, Seong Hayul please handle Park Rahee.”

The plan was formed in an instant.

Gyeon Junhwi ran carrying me on his back, and Seong Hayul handled Park Rahee.

Yeom Juwan and Han Boram escorted us, while Ki Hyeonmin periodically became a decoy to lure away djinn swarms, dealt with them, then rejoined us.

Super-speed progression. Enough to call this section jumping.

Because Gyeon Junhwi, who prioritizes safety, moved through quite a dangerous route.

‘Will this be okay?’

The 1st floor with the twins gone isn’t a high-difficulty section. Yeom Juwan and Han Boram’s combat power far exceeds the original, and Ki Hyeonmin is handling djinn, the only variable, so it’ll work out somehow, but… my heart was pounding anxiously.

Fortunately, we could quickly arrive at the final area, the labyrinth.

“How much time left?”

“1 hour 40 minutes! But Yeon Sora’s temperature rose again! We need to stop here for 10 minutes!”

“10 minutes, understood. Wait here.”

“I-I’ll go too!”

While I was laid down, Ki Hyeonmin and Han Boram completely cleared out all the monsters inside the labyrinth. Fortunately, Jang Huibin’s curse technique worked on this area’s monsters, so they could handle them quickly.

After 10 minutes of rest, Gyeon Junhwi carried me on his back again and the group sprinted to the boss room.

“Time remaining?”

“1 hour 23 minutes!”

“Can you defeat the boss monster in that time? At minimum 30 minutes…”

“I’ll finish in 3 seconds.”

Ki Hyeonmin truly defeated the boss monster, the Desert Golem, in just 3 seconds.

Vivid white lightning extending from his sword… he used his unique swordsmanship.

The Golem was completely dismantled, and Ki Hyeonmin’s remaining sword also shattered.

Ki Hyeonmin has no weapons now.

But our arduous journey is also over.

[You have successfully cleared Floor 1]

[Transporting to the temple]

Fwaaaaaash—

A flash of light struck and my vision turned white.

* * *

Each floor of the Tower has a boss area.

When you defeat the boss monster, you’re automatically transported to the temple, where you receive rewards.

I barely held onto my hazy consciousness and focused on the translucent window before my eyes.

【Obtained 84 exp】

【Level increased. Lvl. 1 —> Lvl. 2】

【Overall stats will be adjusted as a reward.】

【Error occurred during overall stat adjustment.】

Usually when clearing stages your stats rise a bit too, but apparently even that doesn’t work for Yeon Sora.

It’s so absurd I can’t even scoff.

‘What kind of garbage is this…’

…just as I’m thinking that, new windows popped up one after another.

【Obtained ‘Primordial Orb’.】

【First to obtain ‘Tower’s Hidden Fragment’.】

【Side Quest <Tower’s Wish> unlocked】

【Special Draw Ticket (1) provided as quest unlock reward】

‘…What?’

This is all content that didn’t exist in the original.

But even with my hazy mind, I could grasp the meaning.

The orb that only I could detect mana from.

This is the reward for picking that up.

I need to check, but…

‘I can’t select anything!’

Is it because I’m currently out of it?

No, maybe it’s because I’m being carried. The skill copy machine couldn’t operate while being carried either.

I should ask to be put down for a moment, but I can’t speak.

Still, I can move my fingers.

I desperately gestured at the ground and sent signals, but nobody looked at me.

“I’ll transport Yeon Sora. My running speed is fastest.”

Ki Hyeonmin spoke, and Gyeon Junhwi obediently handed me over.

But this time my Hyeonmin isn’t treating me like a potato sack.

A position where he lifts me with both hands.

Is this… a princess carry?

“Hold onto my neck.”

‘No, not that—put me down! Just for a moment!’

I desperately gestured at the ground, but Ki Hyeonmin ignored my signal.

And the sprint began.

‘Wh-what! What’s this speed!’

A crazy velocity easily several times faster than any amusement park ride I tried in my past life.

Of all times, I didn’t wrap my hands around Ki Hyeonmin’s neck when he said ‘Start!’, so my body is shaking even more.

‘Urk… urgh!’

Something violent is detected in my throat, but I absolutely must not let it out.

No matter what!

“We’re out!”

“There were survivors!”

Outside the temple was bustling. Probably.

It’s too fast to see. I can only hear sounds.

Countless sounds cheering on my motion sickness.

Meanwhile, the speed is accelerating even more.

Can you accelerate from here?

I’ve already far surpassed my limits.

‘No… no more…!’

The most desperate effort since possessing.

Perhaps heaven was moved by that effort.

Fortunately, the situation I was worried about didn’t occur.

I lost consciousness before that.
