NOVEL NEXT Chapter 4: Infected
We plundered all the kingdoms of several places, I took neither slaves nor loot in the form of thrones but knowledge, all forms of knowledge be it research or literature, I kept in my pocket dimension for me and Kal'tsit to read.
I admit that my previous actions towards Kal'tsit were indeed immoral, perverted and stupid. Sudden impulse made me act unwise but fuck it whatever happened in the future I must face it.
After we made the name Alliance to defeat the Eldritch demon on the south, I saw the Fehn hotland which here is a savanna full of Ifrit-like manifestations? Fire monster essence or Shade warcraft with eyes like Trigon Dc, their forms are all floating flames. cool.
"So this is the Demon that everyone is afraid of, well let's show the might of nightzmoran" I started fighting with this Demon in line with Khagan, I didn't expect fighting with Demons to be quite cool how does it feel to fight with demons from warcraft or Doom? that will be more fun.
Until my body entered a hallucination and began to be corrupted, some Nightzmoran troops and the Alliance also experienced corruption literally killing them exhaustively.
"Khagan, Use your art" I reflexively ordered my own leader, Khagan knew immediately used his illusion art while I started charging the lightning in my hand making a lot of electricity in my finger then I was still charging more in my hand.
Khagan released his art then my claws aimed at the entire Demon, and created a catastrophic lightning catastrophe in the Fehn field but because of this catastrophe effect, many Originium shards under our feet also exploded, making some of us infected.

I experienced Acute Oripathy making myself cough up phlegm and every breath I took was volcanic ash, I felt my hands like they were starting to harden it was so itchy.
But this attack paid off where all the Demons were repulsed, Khagan succeeded even though the number of casualties from Sargon's side was huge but the demon threat had been minimized.
"Good attack but you need to control it more" I nodded because although Khagan seemed young but his fighting experience and mastery in Art was more efficient, I admit Sui taught me martial arts but not Art because Sui thought Art was just rubbish that was not suitable for me to learn.
We returned to North Terra but on the way that is where Mino should be standing but I had to part ways with Khagan, I had to say goodbye because the infection I got was getting worse.
making my hands like crystals almost like scales so that Khagan knows the suffering I have experienced, every great power always has a price.
"Thank you for accompanying me on the Conquest, I will remember you as Nightmoraz's second in command" I saluted Khagan and smiled.
"It was an honor to accompany you, I hope your conquest will be successful in the future" Then I went to Laterano where Kal'tsit should still be but after I returned I already knew the treatment of Laterano's residents, They rejected me because I was infected, I had to inevitably wait for Kal'tsit but the Kal'tsit I was looking for was not there.
Kal'tsit went somewhere but I promised her, someday we will meet again and that is fate but right now I have to isolate myself first.
A good place to isolate is Kjerag or Sami, In Kjerag maybe Goddess Kjera will accept me but if it's Sami then I'm closer to the North demon which is predominantly Ice demon.
They could be my training partners or a good place for me to test my other powers.
After a long consideration I finally agreed to go to Sami, After a long and steep journey, I arrived in Sami as just a doctor.
Because the experience I gained with Kal'tsit in Laterano and the knowledge Kal'tsit gave me by Sui were very helpful.
I closed my Oripathy with Suit having a glove design, having made enough connections and being friendly with the locals.
The Sami people considered me a good scholar, but I felt ashamed of that nickname because I still didn't deserve it.
After earning enough money, I built my own house as well as a practice site that I could use to make a living.
I didn't forget to take breaks such as a vacation to the sauna or a walk around the Sami area.
At night I checked my Status and Shop to pick up some Boost and power.

Before the reminder appeared, my head felt like it was going to burst. I ran to the highest mountain in Sami, because Life Enhancer made all my memories.
From when I was born, until I came here. I remember everything in detail even my mother's fingerprints to my father's fingerprints I remember everything, all the games and all the characters that I even forgot everything reappeared.
Cringe memories, shameful memories, Nasty memories making me scream my lungs out.
"Its cringe!" The shame was unbearable but it covered the pain, I fell down and screamed because my head hurt not because of the memories but those memories, all those memories.
All the traumas where I was bullied until the reason I came here resurfaced, I was still angry at the bully who killed me.
I still hold a grudge against them, I'm glad they got what they deserved but deep down, I want to get back at them, I want to strangle them, I want them to die, Die, FUCKING DIE.
All those memories I can't forget, there's only one thing I can do. Let go, create new page. There is new world out there where i can interact where i can have meaning adventure life, despite i'm immortal as God say, my immortality reason is Death irrelevant to me why? Because I already dead before so death consider me now is Irregular on its list and honestly That is the reason why I can survive the blast.
use that memory as a reference in the next page's life and the next volume.
Now it's time for me to do isolation and I wrote a letter in Sami that I was looking for medicine in the wild but in reality I was just doing meditation looking for enlightment or learning from all my memories.
Hopefully I'll get something good from the life enhancer which really helps me think about what I'm doing wrong or right.
===================
Kal'tsit Journal
Valtor and I went to Laterano to become a medic, I knew Valtor just wanted to do something here but from the intentions he showed that he couldn't hide from me was.
Valtor only wanted to help me as a medic and Cleric, He was deftly able to help me even though sometimes I was careless in diagnosing and handling but that's why I was happy as long as Valtor could help me.
Until we heard the news about Khagan, Valtor was somehow excited to go to Khagan.
I dissuaded Valtor because I heard from my patient that Khagan is pillaging everything in Terra.
Valtor was quite stubborn even though I knew a little, I was just worried but I gave in because who am I? Valtor is also not a native of Terra.
But why did Valtor hug me and say that I was a partner? Why? I don't understand, I just want him here.
I reflexively felt sad at Valtor's departure but somehow Valtor came back and kissed me then left without looking at me again.
I'm at a loss for words, is this the culture of people outside the universe or something else? I was confused, my feelings were mixed as if I didn't know how to express them.
I was happy that Valtor could keep me company, I was angry that Valtor was on his own, I was sad that Valtor was leaving and I didn't know when he would be back, I felt palpitations when Valtor kissed me. what is this feeling? am i sick? i dont know. i am just confused.
I unconsciously shed tears, all these years I thought my tears were dry but why did they appear again? Why? How? Is it because of Valtor? Kal'tsit calm down. Stay calm.
2 months after Valtor's departure, I had left Laterano to go to Gaul to study when I heard that Khagan would invade the south to conquer the South demon.
But I heard that Khagan's second in command is none other than Valtor, I feel proud and I am excited as if my soul wants to walk parallel with Valtor. I learned everything here, I admit Sui's knowledge is more complex but thanks to that I can easily learn the knowledge of other countries.
After 1 month of studying I went to Sargon but along the way I met Khagan's group, they explained Valtor had been affected by Oripathy and they said his Oripathy was too severe.
Khagan told me that thanks to Valtor's Lightning, he was able to drive away the South demon but the side effect Valtor got was that both hands he had were infected, his shoulders and chest had been infected by Originium.
Valtor's condition cannot be helped and that is why he deserted from the Khagan army because he was afraid the Army would crumble when the commander was sick.
At that moment, why did I feel like the world was empty, was Valtor dead? Is this the fear I've been worrying about all this time? I felt the world was empty without him. I lost hope but Khagan assured me that Valtor was a strong man. If fate brings us back together then I must be ready to accept Valtor.
But, No kal'tsit no But. You forgot your purpose? To not make the same tragedy befall this civilization, The tragedy where We got attacked by some higher being that was dissatisfied of our society before and put this cursed disease here.
This Originium is the reason why I need to learn to cured it, take any weapon that harm this civilization, and any possible threat to mankind.
Valtor, if you read this or you hear my mourn of your death. You are the reason why I walk to find the cure, I will take my time to find your cure and promise me, when the fate is decided can you kiss me one more time?
Notes: Although the heavy work done by Valtor is quite draining, I don't smell bad odors but pleasant odors that make me comfortable to sleep near Valtor.
I know Valtor's habit, if he is already asleep in his sleep then whatever you do cannot wake him up.
That's why I did the experiment, I checked all of Valtor's body from the front and back. I didn't expect his body to be perfect both sexually and physically, I was curious about the meaning of the tattoo on his back especially this sword, these two swords made me very curious but that was later. I don't want my curiosity to take over and I just need to enjoy my time with Valtor.
