Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel
170 Self-deprecating
Szzzzz...
With the swift sound of something evaporating, the device circulating the test tubes rapidly came to a stop.
The device was shaped in a box shape and had ten test tubes placed within it. It was a test tube mixer and of course, it was different as it was enchanted with magic.
The test tube within the mixer had purple liquid in it. If anyone had seen the process of how this solution was made from start to end, they would label this purple liquid as poison without any hesitation.
After all, dozens of poison and creepy things were used one after another, making it look like a process to create a dangerous item.
But Zick was clear as day that this purple solution was the cure for the Revelner disease.
'The process of creating this was quite complicated and time-consuming. Well, I still completed it faster than my initial estimation, only two and a half an hour has passed.' Zick put all the useless things on the table within his space ring.
Next, Zick took a test tube out of the mixer and stored the cure in a container of seven to eight centimeters in size. This container or more specifically vials, we're specially made exclusively to use along with syringes.
After emptying the test tubes, Zick looked at the vials: 'With this much, curing more than 20 people shouldn't be a problem.'
'I have a large amount of material so creating enough to treat millions of people isn't impossible. Hmm...Making the biological golem mass produce this cure for a while would be the best course of action.' Zick considered with a drifting expression, before deciding.
Glancing at the dragon's egg once, Zick made his way out of the room. It had already turned afternoon, it was hard to deduce this thanks to the fog surrounding the palace from all sides.
CLICK~
Closing the door behind him, Zick suddenly thought of a certain matter. His expression didn't change much, he continued moving towards Seveleen leisurely.
His senses expanded to every corner of the palace, and he could sense almost everyone's location easily. He was able to organize the information perceived by his senses easily.
The speed at which he gathered information had increased by leap and bound after creating the 'will' veins.
Finding Seveleen to be on the ground floor kitchen, Zick started heading towards it.
Zick's mind wandered as he walked down the steps: 'Spreading the revelner disease to the whole eastern continent was impossible for me before, but now with Levienel and the cat...it is quite possible.'
The more Zick of this matter, the intenser his vertical red eye glowed.
Commencing the plan to spread the revelner disease had many benefits for Zick. The only downside was that the future would become more unpredictable.
'Well, the plot has already gotten destroyed so it doesn't matter.' Zick's eyes squinted with resolution.
'Haha, now the kingdom and empire have to decide whether to choose me or the church. I am the person who can save their lives, their hope. while the churches, who want to kill me, trying to extinguish their hopes.' Zick felt it to be quite hysterical too.
It was very clear what the higher up of these forces would choose. It was him, humans naturally became self-centered when their lives were at risk.
Finding such a nice scheme to take care of this matter, Zick was satisfied. In the worst-case scenario, he would just have to go around inciting people to rebellion.
'Alright, I just have to collect the biological golem and mass produce the cure next. After that, I can start my journey as a savior.'
Zick arrived before the kitchen without realizing it, seeing it was all cleaned up, he knew it was Seveleen's work.
Zick looked at Seveleen deeply, at first, he wanted her condition to deteriorate further before saving her. But now, he didn't think that to be necessary.
Making Seveleen fall in love with him? This thought made Zick's skin crawl.
'Such a stupid thought wouldn't have appeared in my head if I wasn't being influenced or if my emotions were not so unstable.' Zick sighed lightly.
Just making Seveleen work for him was more than enough, even if she didn't have any intention to sacrifice herself for him — Zick could just make her do it for him.
'Right at the moment, she is still too weak. Not only her, but the others are also very weak too, I need to give them some more time to grow.' Zick had a sense of urgency deep within him.
Zick had gone through the information he got from the Everler organization. The fact that Zrecktor was dead was found out by the Eastern continent a few days ago. They were even preparing to start war at full throttle.
Before they couldn't use the teleportation circle because of Zrector, but now it is possible to use it.
The intensity of this war could already be expected, millions of people would die naturally every day. The demon continent would also try to do something shady from the shadows.
' Can I gain something from this war?' Zick put aside this matter, for now, and he looked at Seveleen.
Zick knocked at the kitchen wall, bringing Seveleen's attention to him.
Zick heard a sound in his head: "Mister Zick, Sorry I didn't notice you before. Can I help you?"
Seveleen's voice was normal with no abnormality in it. The fact that she was nearing her death should be known to her better than anyone. But she could still keep her calm in this situation.
Zick praised not holding back in his head: 'As expected of a future Archmage, she has matured a lot from before.'
Zick didn't bother changing his expression, Seveleen couldn't see it anyway.
Instead, he spoke with a serious voice: "Miss Seveleen, I have the cure for Revelner disease with me. I guess now, you can look for your sister without me."
Zick's voice was serious, but at the end, there were some suppressed emotions in his words.
Zick walked beside Seveleen who stood beside the basin.
"You found the cure...?" Seveleen's voice sounded unbelieving no matter how one tried deciphering it.
It was only natural, after all, the cure that was being researched by professional alchemists was actually in Zick's hand.
If someone else said these words, Seveleen wouldn't have even considered it. Only because Zick, who had no reason or purpose in lying said it, she felt unsure.
"Yeah, Miss Levienel helped me get it." Zick's voice sounded melancholy right now.
'Wait...It couldn't be...' Seveleen got to know what Zick traded his eye in exchange for. It was for the cure, this put her mind in a restless state.
'He sacrificed his eye for me....? Why? We didn't have any kind of relationship before, so why is he....' Unnatural suspicion rose within Seveleen like surging tides.
But soon, all thought ceased within Seveleen's mind. If her body was not paralyzed, her hand would have been tightly clenched and she would even be shaking from emotions.
This was the second time Seveleen ever felt so moved in her life.
Seveleen transmitted to Zick: "Why?"
'What why?' Zick wanted to say reflexively but controlled himself. He could feel the sobbing feeling in Seveleen's voice.
He had actually moved Seveleen, the future archmage to the point of crying!
Zick wasn't intending to do such a thing, but thinking about it for a second he understood the misunderstanding Seveleen stumbled upon.
It all contributed to his made-up story of sacrificing an eye! Such heroism!
'....Does She really think there is such a stupid person in the world?' Zick could only shake his head at Seveleen's mood internally.
"Why? It's because — I just felt like doing it." Zick naturally averted the question skillfully.
"Alright show me your hand," Zick spoke, ignoring Seveleen's current state of mind.
There was nothing more he could do about it. If Seveleen was just misunderstanding and getting attached to him by herself, Zick had no reason to reject.
It was beneficial to him anyway.
Taking out a syringe and vial, Zick started filling the syringe with the cure from the vial.
Seeing Seveleen standing motionless, Zick held her right hand without consent. This would have been a very disrespectful act in the noble society.
Holding a noble lady's hand without her consent was enough to make other nobles send out punishment.
But Seveleen didn't say anything, she didn't know what to say, what to think or what to do.
What was she doing up till now?
She had completely been taken care of by Zick, not even once did he ever ask anything in return. Neither did she try to repay him.
And the worst part, Seveleen had not even once thought about how she would repay Zick. No, the thought of repaying him had not even crossed her mind.
'How...How did I become such a...disgusting person?' Seveleen didn't concentrate on her surroundings and only thought of her behavior.
Zick had already inserted the syringe into Seveleen's hand directly in the nerves. He wasn't careful and just did it roughly, seveleen couldn't feel anything so it didn't matter.
"Here, drink this." Zick took out a stamina potion but furrowed his brow seeing Seveleen still unresponsive.
'What is wrong with her now? Is she that much ashamed?' Zick was puzzled.
Seveleen, after all being affected by some unknown god, did never think of repaying Zick. Realizing her thought process had a huge impact on Seveleen.
Opening the vial, Zick put it in Seveleen's mouth lightly, seeing still no reaction he slowly started making her drink it.
'Hmm, She must have not realized 'cause she can't feel anything.' Zick concluded.
Finishing the stamina potion, next Zick took out a healing potion and waited.
The stamina potion could accelerate the speed of the cure's working by a lot.
The black regions on Seveleen's body started shrinking which was visible to the naked eye. Her body which was paralyzed started regaining control and her senses started recovering.
Feeling that the revelner Disease in Seveleen's body was destroyed, Zick fed the healing potion to her immediately.
This time Seveleen reacted, her eyes enlarged slightly. The familiar sense of touch returned.
Seeing Zick who still had a nonchalant look as always, Seveleen wanted to bite her lips.
Zick retracted his hand, he was surprised internally too. Seveleen was not offended by his action of feeding her like that at all.
"From now on, You are no longer affected by the revelner disease, miss Seveleen," Zick said with a plain look.
Seveleen felt neither happy nor relieved hearing Zick's words. She had been so distracted and hopeless, thinking she was going to die, she had seldom considered what she would do if she survived.
Now that she considered it, Seveleen was left unwilling. To look for her sister, she would have to separate from Zick. She had consciences unlike a certain someone, there was no way she could ask Zick's help.
"Sad of parting?" Zick asked as he walked near Seveleen.
"Yes...Truthfully, I never thought I would be able to live...." Seveleen tried her best to control her expression.
Seveleen shook her head slightly, she smiled self-deprecatingly: "I know that this sounds very weird, can please answer me truthfully?"
"Sure." Zick's answer was immediate.
"What kind of person do I strike you as?" Seveleen's eyes fidgeted around restlessly.
Zick pursed his lips slightly looking thoughtful.
In the end, Zick spat out whatever didn't make her keep her distance from him: "The fact that you wanted to look for your sister even though you were nearing death, so I think you're a kind person, miss Seveleen."
Zick thought internally: 'Here comes the emotional part.'
