Avoid Yandere Constellation

Just as I was wondering how to get points, a way to earn them appeared.

But it’s useless right now; I can’t get them immediately.

Even if that quest rewards me with points, it’s impossible to obtain them right now.

Damn! I guess I have to stick to my original plan. Please let it work.

It’s almost like a gamble.

I have to hope that the developers didn’t touch anything.

With that thought, I moved all the objects in the room to the corner.

The room became much more spacious.

-Bang!

The woman who had died for me earlier opened the door. She rushed towards me and spoke in the same trembling voice as before.

“Sir Kaine, the intruder has almost broken through all the traps in the hideout.”

…She doesn’t seem to remember that she died.

Fortunately, it seems that the others don’t remember either.

“Okay, before we escape, I’m sorry, but what’s your name?”

“My name is Meilin, Sir Kaine.”

At my question, she flinched and stammered in her response.

What’s wrong? Why is she reacting like this?

As far as I know, Kaine was not the type to remember the names of his subordinates or servants.

Perhaps he might remember the names of his exclusive maids or servants, but it’s highly unlikely that he would know the name of someone who seemed suspicious.

Or maybe it’s because I apologized?

If that’s the case, it’s understandable, but it’s also ridiculous.

…Just how much of a troublemaker was Kaine?

The fact that she was so shocked by my simple apology made me wonder if he was really just a third-rate troublemaker villain.

To be honest, I wasn’t the nicest person before the possession, but compared to Kaine, I felt like an angel.

But why is she risking her life to save me?

Most people would try to save themselves and abandon others, but she sacrificed her own life to ensure my survival.

…Anyway, this isn’t the time for that. Survival is the priority.

“Meilin, listen to me carefully.”

“Yes.”

At the seriousness in my voice, she perked up her ears. I looked around.

Okay, this should be the spot.

“If you roll backward from where I’m standing, you’ll find a special space. Let’s hide there until the intruder leaves.”

“…”

Meilin looked at me with a pitiful expression.

I know! I know it’s weird! But do you have to look at me like that?!

To be honest, when I discovered this bug in the game, most people, including me, didn’t believe it.

But eventually, the person who found the bug proved its existence by broadcasting it.

I believe the developers didn’t fix it.

“Meilin, you go first.”

“Oh… Okay.”

In this urgent situation, the idea of doing a backward roll seemed absurd to her, and she covered her face, clearly showing her reluctance. She knelt down, her knees touching the ground.

I stared at her.

Hmm… Why is she so obedient to my commands?

For some reason, I found myself clicking my tongue without realizing it.

“Tsk!”

“What? I’ll do it right away.”

At the sound of my tongue-clicking, Meilin jumped in surprise, thinking she had misunderstood something. Without hesitation, she rolled backward.

One roll.

Two rolls.

Three rolls.

The room wasn’t as big as I thought; one more roll, and she would hit the wall.

Please, I beg you. This is the only option I see.

I closed my eyes tightly, expecting her to hit the wall.

She rolled backward one more time.

-Swoosh!

Yes!

The bug hadn’t been fixed. The developers had left it as it was.

-Boom!

I heard the sound of a trap being destroyed outside. I could sense that Kim Soo-yong was approaching.

Shit. This isn’t the time to be standing around. I need to roll backward too.

I hurriedly moved to the center of the room.

Meilin rolled backward in the same position.

One roll.

Two rolls.

Three rolls.

The final fourth roll.

-Swoosh!

I felt my body pass through something. At the same time, I looked around.

The surroundings were completely white, and there was nothing in the room except for Meilin.

I turned my gaze to Meilin. She was shocked beyond belief.

How about that, huh?! You’d be dead if it weren’t for me!!

I wanted to say this out loud, but it felt too shameful to say such words to the woman who had tried to save me.

-Boom!

Damn, that scared me.

The sound indicated that Kim Soo-yong had broken down the door. We wouldn’t be discovered, but just in case, I held my breath.

…If I had been a little later, I would have ended up with another hole in my stomach.

“I know you’re hiding here. Come out now, and I won’t kill you.”

“What?!”

At Kim Soo-yong’s words, Meilin jumped in surprise.

Yeah, right. Don’t try to bluff me.

This is a bug space. It’s impossible for even the protagonist to figure out this place.

After all, even the Constellations, who are considered gods, couldn’t find it.

But unlike me, Meilin’s pupils were shaking as if an earthquake was happening.

“Don’t worry. He’s just bluffing. If he knew where we were, he would have come here first.”

“Oh, yes!”

At my words, she stopped trying to leave and nodded.

.

.

.

Meanwhile, at that moment,

Kim Soo-yong smashed through the wall of the room.

-Boom!

“Damn… Where did those bastards run off to?”

No matter how I thought about it, something was strange. At first, I thought they had escaped through the exit, so I used my presence detection ability.

But…

Nothing was detected outside the room. The woman who escaped didn’t have the power to evade or block my presence detection.

…What’s going on here?

Or is this the power of the guild leader?

That would make sense. The problem is that only that part makes sense.

If he had such power, it would be strange for him to run away in the first place.

If he had the ability to block or evade my presence detection, he would be a skilled individual.

If the woman and I joined forces, I honestly couldn’t guarantee victory.

The conclusion is that the probability of them escaping through the passage is low.

“What do you think, Goddess?”

[The Constellation of Fate is also confused by the current situation.]

Even the Constellation, a transcendent being, is bewildered by the current situation.

For now, let’s pretend to escape and wait.

.

.

.

-Thump, thump, thump.

The footsteps gradually faded, and soon, all signs of life in the room disappeared.

It wasn’t just me; Meilin also sighed in relief.

“Sir Kaine, it seems like the intruder has left the room. Just in case, I’ll go out first.”

“Wait a moment.”

I stopped Meilin, who was about to leave, with my hand.

Something feels off.

There’s no sign of anyone in the room, and it wouldn’t be strange for him to have left.

It should be like that, but I feel a strong sense of unease.

Now that I think about it…

The quest completion message hasn’t appeared.

Normally, the quest completion message should have appeared as soon as Kim Soo-yong left the building.

Of course, reality and games are different, so there’s no guarantee that it would appear, but it wouldn’t be strange if the quest completion message appeared automatically when I avoided death.

After all, the system message also appeared automatically before I died.

I’m certain that he didn’t leave. I need to check.

For some reason, I felt uneasy, so I opened the status window.

David von Kaine

Age: 20

Attributes: Game Settings Ability ☜ Death Return.

Talent: None.

Points: 0.

Without hesitation, I selected the Game Settings Ability.

Game Settings Ability: Adjust volume, effects quality, color settings, view map, inventory, cash shop…

Hmm… Viewing the map would be good.

Even if the cash shop is usable, it’s useless without points. None of the other abilities seemed better than viewing the map in the current situation.

I selected the view map option.

[Player David von Kaine can only use volume adjustment. To unlock the view map, 5,000 points are required.]

Damn, this is too much.

Or maybe it’s reasonable? After all, if all the abilities here were usable, it would be almost like cheating.

Yes, there’s always a price to pay for such powers. I was wrong to expect otherwise. Damn.

With a heavy heart, I looked at the volume adjustment.

At least it’s a small blessing.

If it had been any other ability, it would have been impossible to confirm if Kim Soo-yong was waiting in the room.

Fortunately, this ability adjusts sound, so even if he was hiding his presence, I could still find him.

I selected volume adjustment and slowly increased the volume to a comfortable level.

55… 65… 75… 85… 95, 100.

“Crazy bastard.”

“Huh?”

At my sudden curse, Meilin tilted her head in confusion.

Wow… Creepy.

I was so creeped out that I cursed without realizing it.

As soon as I maximized the volume, I could clearly sense someone’s presence in the room.

At 90, I initially thought I might have misheard, but that wasn’t the case.

At 100, I could clearly hear his breathing.

Not only that, but I could also hear the sound of his eyes moving and the sound of him swallowing.

Damn, that bastard was pretending to leave but was actually waiting in the room.

He was like a die-hard fan, to the point where I wouldn’t have any arguments if someone called me that.

My ears started to hurt, so I adjusted the volume back to its original level.

“It seems like he’s still in the room. Let’s wait.”

“I understand, Sir Kaine.”

Yes. Let’s see who wins. I may not be good at many things, but I’m a master at endurance. You bastard.

Endurance always wins!!

.

.

.

So, we endured for five hours. Although this bug space seemed infinitely large, we didn’t dare move around for fear of getting lost, so we just sat there.

Damn… He still hasn’t left. He’s a real stubborn pervert.

In the game, my friends called me a pervert for my endurance, but Kim Soo-yong seems to be no less. I was amazed by his endurance.

Because of his perverted nature, he ended up dying from sexual exhaustion at the hands of the yandere constellation.

Kim Soo-yong’s actions make the game’s ending make sense.

Those damn developers did a perfect job with the ending.

As I silently praised the developers,

[Ongoing Quest: Avoid Death completed.]

[You will be rewarded with 500 points.]

He must have left. Finally, what a strong opponent.

Normally, I should check what cash items I can buy with 500 points, but after sitting still for five hours, I just wanted to get out of this damn space as soon as possible.

As I stood up, Meilin tilted her head in confusion.

“Sir Kaine?”

“Let’s go. There’s no intruder in the room.”

“I’ll go first.”

I nodded without hesitation.

Yes, you must be tired too. Go ahead.

It’s not that I’m worried that Kim Soo-yong might still be in the room, so I’m sending you out first.

I’m doing this to consider your well-being.

Yes, that’s all.

Meilin stood up and left the room.

“Sir Kaine, you can come out. There’s no one here.”

“I understand.”

I followed Meilin and escaped.

Endurance always wins!!

As I silently rejoiced,

-Ding!

[The Constellation of Fate is shocked to see you alive!!]

Why are you here, sis?
