Cheat Awakening

"F*ck!! How the hell am I supposed to get out of this thing wherever in I'm stuck? Why can't I remember anything about my family? And Velvet, where the hell is she? I hope she's still alive... F*ck!

F*ck! What should I do?" Myne snarled, gripping his head as he fell to his knees.

"Wait a minute, Mother said something about Essenes that could help me see reality, but how do I activate it?" Myne muttered as he recalled his mother's words. However, before he could contemplate further, it felt as if someone pressed a pause button in Myne's mind, slowing down his thoughts, and he couldn't form any idea to awaken his Essenes Skill.

"What should I do? Mother warned me that time is running out. Would something terrible happen if he remained trapped here for too long?"

Myne closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Calm down, Myne. Calm down. First, think carefully about the information Mother gave you. Rushing won't get you anywhere."

Ten minutes later...

"Ah... Damn it, why am I so useless?" Myne cursed, slamming his fist on the ground in frustration. "Why couldn't I find anything from Mother's hidden message that I didn't already know? If I get out of here, the first thing I'll do is spank Big Sis Maya until she cries from pain. Damn it, why didn't she ever mention anything about Essenes?

There's no way the closest person, who was literally like a daughter to Mother, doesn't know anything about it. She probably thought I'm not ready for it. Damn it, now because of it, I'm stuck here without any clue to get out,"

Just then, his stomach made a rumbling sound, and a fast pressure hit his lower part, reminding him that he didn't come outside to vent his frustration on the ground, but to empty his storage.

"Huh? It's been so long. Why the hell hasn't she come out yet? It shouldn't take her this long, no matter how long she was holding back," Myne thought with a frown. He was having a bad feeling about it.

"Velvet, honey, aren't you finished yet?" Myne asked in a loud voice as he stood up. To his surprise, no one answered him. He hurriedly used Presence Detect and saw that Velvet was still there; it's just that now she was near the wall where she shouldn't suppose to be.

"What the hell is she doing there?" Myne asked as he slowly and cautiously walked toward Velvet's direction. As he walked near the bush, he saw Velvet facing the garden wall, sitting with her face between her knees, digging the ground with her nails, while muttering something in a low voice that he couldn't understand.

Myne gasped with eyes wide open, seeing the iconic sense of a person being possessed by a ghost and doing weird things. He looked around and saw no sign of pop or anything unusual behind the bush, which meant Velvet was in this condition the moment she disappeared from his eyes.

Myne, who had read enough novels, to know that things were not as simple as seen, didn't call out Velvet's name and attract her attention, but slowly and silently started walking backwards. His eyes glued on Velvet's back until his back hit the door of the small cabin.

Myne didn't look away from her, fearing that at the next moment, she would turn her head toward him with a scary face, pouncing on him like a hungry beast, a common occurrence in horror novels in a situation like this.

After opening the cabin door, Myne hurriedly went in and closed the door. He quickly tossed aside the Velvet panties he was holding since he knew it wasn't what he preferred and ran toward the hideout to call out to Alban.

"Old Geezer, where the hell are you?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Why are you screaming, brat? Are you blind or something? Can't you see I'm sitting right in front of you?" Alban, who was sitting on a chair while reading his notes, replied annoyingly.

"Big trouble, Old Geezer! Something happened to Velvet. We went out to attend nature's call, and after she went behind a bush, and didn't come back after 10 minutes, I went to check on her and found her sitting face to face with the wall, digging the ground with her fingers like a maniac. Quickly, tell me what the hell is going on!

You're an expert in this field; you should know what's wrong with her, right?" Myne, his face drenched in sweat and tears, grabbed Alban's collar and shook him like a ragdoll, his acting skill is good enough to bring him a few Oscars if he were in the modern world.

"F*ck! Brat! If you don't want to die, stop shaking me! Haaa, you know you're asking for a beating," Alban retorted, shoving Myne away. "First, calm down and then tell me everything in detail, don't leave out a single point."

As Alban scolded Myne, he finally managed to calm himself down and began telling the entire story from the beginning.

"This doesn't seem simple. I need to see it for myself before making any decisions. You wait here, I'll fetch some equipment from storage," Alban said with a deep frown, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

"Please be quick! I don't want to leave Velvet outside for too long. Damn it, it's all your fault! Why didn't you make a toilet inside your hideout?" Myne complained, pacing back and forth in frustration, his eyes darting everywhere in the living room as if searching for anything to vent his anger.

But as soon as Alban entered the storage room, Myne, with a raised eyebrow, approached the table in the middle and stared at a large jar with a frown.

"Brat! Open box number 3 and take out a blue medicine from it.

It might come in handy to capture your wife, although I hope we don't need to use it, as it has quite a few side effects," Alban's voice brought Myne out of his thoughts, he gave the jar in which Alban had put his vengeful spirit girlfriend's skirt piece, which now coincidentally was missing last gaze while pondering something before moving away.

"Got it, but what is this medicine?" Myne asked curiously, taking out only a blue palm-sized glass bottle from among various other weird stuff.

"It's a tranquilizing drug," Alban replied as he walked out of the storage room with a small bag slung over his shoulder. "If things are as serious as you suggest, we'll definitely need it."

"And before you ask, no, I don't use it to capture undead. It doesn't work on them, and it's not mine. I found it when I made this place my hideout. Now, don't just stand there. Your wife is the one in trouble out there, not mine. So get a move on and take the lead.

Don't expect me to do all the dangerous stuff while you were chilling here."

"Okay, okay, I understand. Tsk, Old Geezer, even after living for so long, you still behave like a child. Couldn't you just have some pity on my poor soul and capture Velvet alone? Don't you see how much I love her? I don't even have the courage to watch her whatever condition she was in." He took the lead and started climbing the staircase, defeat evident in his voice.

Alban remained poker-faced. "One more useless word and I'm going back." Instantly making Myne silent.

...

"Over there," Myne whispered, leading Alban towards the bush where he and Velvet had planned to answer nature's call. "She was right there, digging the ground with her nails before I entered the cabin."

"If what you said is true, then why would she wait for us there till now?... See, she's gone. But I don't understand one thing. If I, or any other person in your place, saw their wife behaving strangely, the first thing we'd do is try to approach her. But you, on the other hand, just out of suspicion, ran off to call me.

What if she was just joking with you, and after you ran away, she became so disappointed that now she went somewhere else to vent her frustration?" Alban inquired as he investigated the place where Velvet was digging, his curiosity evident, but soon he couldn't help but frown deeply.

Myne hesitated a bit before replying, "Well, Velvet isn't like those selfish girls who would leave their husbands just because of such a small thing. And... she knows my secret, so there's no way she could play a joke on me in this kind of situation."

Alban raised an eyebrow. "If you'd said that earlier, I would have just mocked you and called you a naive brat. But now, I think you're right. There's indeed something wrong with your wife. Look," he said, walking back to Myne who was standing on the other side of the bush, "I found bloody skin and nails here. I think she wasn't just faking it when you saw her digging the ground.

Maybe things are more serious than I thought."

Myne's eyes widened in horror as he examined the evidence. "Then do you have any idea why she was behaving like this? Did she get possessed by a Vengeful spirit?" he asked, his voice laced with worry.

Alban shook his head. "I don't think so. If a Vengeful spirit possessed her, there's no way it would have happened so silently. Their screams can be heard from hundreds of meters away wherever they are nearby.

And even if we entertain the possibility of Vengeful spirit possession for a moment, why would she be digging the ground instead of attacking you or heading towards the tower to complete further formalities to make your wife a true Vengeful spirit like them as well?"

Myne groaned, holding his head in frustration. "Ahhh... f*ck, you have a point. Then what the hell is going on here? What kind of new trouble has fallen into our laps now?"
