Chapter 1462 Convincing Someone
"Va-Varian? W-What is happening? Why am I here?" The young Enigma sat on the bed fl.u.s.tered, her legs shaking as she tried to get away from him in panic but with her hands held tight in his warm hands, there's nothing she could do.
"You need to wake up." Varian pointed to the distorting world around them.
The room was dissolving, as if a building built by many blocks was being dismantled, block by block.
That wasn't it.
Even the black sky was also breaking, turning into a dull gray. So did the ground. The plants. The flowers.
Everything was dissolving.
"Va-Varian! What's happening?" Enigma's lips trembled and she looked at him with a teary gaze. "Am I not supposed to be here? Is that why everything is ending?"
Varian didn't respond to her questions. Rather, he held her in his arms like she's a princess and started walking out of the home.
"Varian! Watch your right, a tree is falling!"
Boom!
"A car is heading this way! It's driving system failed!"
Cras.h.!.+
Even now, she was more concerned about him than her own life.
The young body of his hadn't awakened and wasn't very strong. But thanks to his powerful soul, Varian didn't worry.
Rather, he stroked Enigma's hair as he ran towards the unnamed destination.
Only when he swiftly dodged the dangers did the young lady brought up the question. "Wh-Where are we going?"
"Back to the real world."
"Real world?" Enigma muttered in confusion.
"Yep!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The world around him distorted and then shrunk. Everything turned gray except for the piece of land under him and the patch of sky above.
"Where are we…" Enigma hugged his neck tight and bit her lips. "I'll just go back! Everything will be alright. Send me back. I'll never come out agai—"
"Shhh," Varian placed a finger on her lips. "The world isn't ending because of you. And even if it did, I'd be fine with it. You are worth way more than any world to me."
"I…I…what…" Enigma's face turned beet red, from her slender neck all the way to the tip of her ears. "What are you saying?"
"Should I say it in simple words?" Varian chuckled and whispered in her ear.
"Stupid Enigma, I love you."
The Enigma in his hands froze for a moment before she fainted.
The soul of adult Enigma surfaced from her body and hugged him. Coming out of the younger self's body, Varian too hugger her.
Everything went gray.

"L-Let me just bury my head somewhere." Enigma, back to her present form, lowered her head as she followed behind Varian.
"You were adorable." Varian laughed as he continued on the misty road.
They were still in the 'dream' but it's not their dream anymore. It's the dream of the Fortune Spirit.
Even though I kept saying it from my childhoo, none of them believed me. But here I am, not only the ruler but also the most bada.s.s one at that."
"B-Big Brother, if a kid goes around spouting stuff like that, it's normal to laugh. Children talk a lot of silly stuff."
"You're rig—but anyways! The point is, you don't need everyone to believe in you. If you believe in yourself, that's enough."
"But I can't! Since they all oppose me and hate, they must have a good reason. My birth must've been a mistake!" The spirit's eyes started to water.
Varian sighed and gently bent down. Then, he started pulling her cheeks.
"Listen here you little brat, I've been through a very emotional moment with my wife and I have neither the energy nor the time to lift your hollowed spirits.
I'll just say this, the people based on whose opinions you're throwing your life away for won't even think about you for a moment once they're out of this little world.
So, think for yourself. This is your life. If you die, it's over!"
The more he spoke, the more pa.s.sionate he got in his speech and the more the spirit's cheeks were pulled .
"Wukay, wukaay, naw staaf my s.h.i.+ks!" The spirit tried to speak but only gibberish came out.
"Huh? Speak english, little brat!" Varian pulled her cheeks even more.
"Waaa!" The spirit shook her head back and forth before freeing herself from his clutches.
Rubbing her swollen, reddened cheeks, she glared at him. "How will I speak if you grab my cheeks?"
"That's irrelevant!" Varian snorted, shamelessly ignoring what he'd done. "Are you coming or not?"
The spirit stood up and dusted off her dress. Looking at her toes, she said in a meek tone. "I-I'm not suspecting you're using me or anything, but why are you asking me to come out?"
"Because I'm using you to kill an enemy outside."
The spirit froze and looked at him with a betrayed expression.
Varian shrugged with a nonchalant expression. "What? Risking my life to save a someone I barely know is ridiculous, you see. If you thought it's the reason I saved you, little lady, I have a galaxy to sell."
The spirit opened her mouth and then closed them. She shook her head once, twice and then repeatedly before clutching her head. "You could've just lied."
"Being straightforward is better manytimes."
"Fine, who do I need to kill?"
"An old b.a.s.t.a.r.d in a ring."
"Alright."
"Just like that? You're agreeing with no preconditions attached?"
"…I'm born from Fortune Anvil. If I go back, I will fuse with it. What more could you give me?" The spirit looked at him with a tired expression.
"Right, right." Varian sighed in relief. Thankfully, his wallet wasn't going to suffer.
"Besides, you convinced me to get out and survive. That's more than enough help, how can I ask you for anything else?" The spirit sighed.
"Even brats these days are so mature," Varian patted her head with a sigh. "Back in my days, we used to—"
"Your bone age isn't even twenty. So, shut up already."
"Tsk, disrepectful kids."
Kaacha! The sky cracked and Varian opened his eyes.
An old man in a black robe greeted him with murderous eyes. The b.a.s.t.a.r.d was at the very peak of rank 9, seemingly moments away from hitting divine rank.
"h.e.l.lo, Varian."
