Chapter 4.2: Searching For A Class!

*breath**breath*

'What was wrong with that System! It forcefully changed my race and gender! What's wrong with this game!' I thought to myself.

First thing first, i tried the thing i need to do, which is;

"Character deletion!" I screamed, but not so hard that people turn their attention to me.

*Ting!

You are unable to delete character because of the doppelganger user's curse.

'Damn it! What's wrong with this curse!'

I started looking around myself.

'Yikes! Why is this place so creepy! There's people that looks dangereuses everywhere!

"Ugh, where is he anyway?" I looked my surrounding, searching for my brother.

*sigh*

'He's nowhere, well, i guess i was taking creating my avatar a bit late. And i don't know how to face him like this....'

Yes, because of that AI and gods, my race and gender have both changed almost exactly like my brother.

'With my race changed, i also need to pick a class suited to this.... it's a Dark Elf, Dark Demon, and Doppelganger....

It's all related to darkness, so i guess i should become a witch? No, wait, since i'm a boy here, i can't become something like a witch....

So i guess a dark mage or something?'

*sigh* 'I guess i'll just view around the town for now....'

And so, i wandered around, and looked around the people. Some people around looks a bit strange, and i found them familiar at times;

There was an guy with a bleached hair wearing a black kimono.

Another one was an yellow-haired guy with something like a whisker at the cheek.

And the last one is a guy wearing a straw hat, and having a cross-shaped injury in his chest, which is bare because he only used an opened red vest and pants, and also his hat.

(Try to guess who)

But suddenly, i collided with an old lady in dark clothes.

"Ouch, i'm sorry ma'am, are you okay?" I asked her.

"It's okay dear... this old lady is okay...." she answered quietly.

I helped her get up.

"I-I see, i'm so sorry for bumping into you..."

I was about to walking around again, when she said this to me;

"Dear, go to the church, the answer you want is in there...."

*Ting!

Familiarity with god Loki +50.

When i looked back, the old lady was not there anymore.

'Huh? What's with this table? And a church?'

After the strange meeting, i can't help but to be curious and goes inside the church.

"Hello, young elf. What business do you have, that you'd come here; the church of Loki?" A father asked me.

"W-well, i heard from someone, that the answer i want is here." I answered hesitantly.

"Well, that maybe true, that maybe...." the father said uncertainly.

"So, what is the thing you seek?" The father asked.

"W-well, i want to get a class..." i answered nervously.

"A class? Do you want to become a priestess or sister maybe?" He asked me again.

"W-well, no. Actually, eve i didn't think that the information would be true... i actually just tried since she seemed strangely trustable..." I answered hesitantly again.

"Oh? And who did tell that to you?" He once again asked me.

"W-well, i heard it from an old woman wearing dark clothing that i met..." i answered.

But after hearing the word "old woman wearing dark clothing" he seems to be lost in his own world.

"Um... are you okay?" I asked, as he didn't say anything for the last dozen of second.

After that, he seems to get back to normal.

".... Okay, miss. I think i might be able to help you...." he answered.

"You can?" I asked him again just in case.

"Yes. Please follow me inside." And he goes inside without any words, and so did i.

After getting inside one of the room there, we goes down to some kind of underground basement, from some kind of trap door.

After some time of walking, we finally arrived at a place that looks like an altar.

"Now, please sit in the middle, and start meditating." Said the father.

As i already came this far, i can't stop now.

So, i did what he said without uttering a word.

Bit by bit, my consciousness was taken away.

***

*Ting!

You have entered into the void zone

"Huh?"

"Oh? You finally came, huh? The soul who got that curse, right? And now i've seen it again, it's seems to be alike with the soul of that doppelganger...." said a chained man in front of me.

*Ting!

Familiarity with god Loki +50.

"who are you?" I asked 'it'.

"Me? I'm the one and only Loki, the god of trickster." 'It' answered my question.

"Loki?" I at least know of it, the god of trickster, who is chained forever in suffering.

"Yes. well, anyway, here is the thing you wanted."

*Ting!

The Darkness overflowing.answering your hope, the god Loki will give you a test. A test that decide whether you will get your class, or fail and try to get another class. To see the way to get the class, you must accept it too see theDo you accept?

'A class from a god? Why would i refuse!'

"Yes!" I answered with all my might.

*Ting!

Familiarity with god Loki +50.

*Ting!

You have accepted the quest.

*Ting!

To get the class, you must go to Loki's secret dungeon, and find an item in there.

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

"Your secret dungeon? How can i find that!?"

I started to panic.

"Don't worry about that." Suddenly, there was an pendant flying in front of me that appeared out of nowhere.

"That pendant can make a portal to my secret dungeon." He said to me.

"I see...." I said, starting to calm down

"Well, now that you got the quest, why don't we talk for a bit?" Loki asked me.

"Err... yeah?" I answered hesitantly.

"Now, the first thing i want to talk about; do you know a boy named Ken?" He asked me.

'Wait, what!? How does he know about ken!?

A-anyway, i shouldn't tell him about it.'

"Uhh.... No?" I tried my best to fake a puzzled face.

After i said that, his face looked like he can barely hold back his laughter.

"Hey, is that guy your friend?" He asked me.

'Huh? Did he perhaps, mishear me?'

"I already said no, didnt i?" I acted as normally as possible.

"I see.... So, is that guy your family?" He asked me again.

'Huh!? How does he know it!'

"N-no?" I pretended again.

"Then, is he your brother?" He asked again.

'How can he know all that!'

"W-well, didn't i say no?" I said, still trying to pretend.

He then smiled.

"Okay, i was way too stubborn right there, why don't we change the topic then?" He asked me.

"Y-yeah, let's just do that." I answered nervously.

"Well then, let's me change the topic with this question; don't you think the more human is close with each others, the more they hate each other?"

"Eh?" I can only say that to his word....

"Well, the more closer you are, the more you fight, right? I mean, why would you fight against stranger? Like, if your little brother always play with a toy and never study, and you accidentally meet a guy at the same age is crushing his own house, you will choose to scold your little brother than the stranger right?" He explained to me.

'Why must he choose a little brother as the example!' Ignoring the part of crushing a house, that was the part i focused on.

"Err... well, yeah?" I answered.

"And that's why close people hate each other, especially if they are a boy, since they have high ego and is arrogant. And even more arrogant if the boy is young."

'N-now that i think about it, could it be that Ken hate me???' My brain started to get muddy

I wanted to ask him what should i do, but before i was able to say that, he said something first.

"Well, i'm tired, let's talk again another time"

*Ting!

You have been kicked out the void zone

"......." i opened my eyes, and see that i was back to the altar.

"Are you okay?" The father asked me.

"Y-yeah.... i'm okay." I said, stuttering.

"I see.... well, if it's okay, then i guess it was as i speculated."

"Huh? What do you mean?" I asked.

"W-well, i think, the old lady that you've met before, was probably Loki itself, young elf."

"Huh? What do you mean, Loki itself?" I asked again.

"From a long time ago, Loki was known being able to change his looks, and one of the most known was, as you said, an old lady wearing black clothing." He answered my second question.

"I see.... Well, i'm sorry, but i need to go somewhere right away, so i will take my leave. And once again, sorry for the rudeness."

I said that, rushed to a remote place, and logged out right away.

***

After logged out, i looked beside me, and seen that he wasn't in the game. After seeing that, i hurriedly goes to his room

*Knock* *Knock*

the sound of his door was being knocked by me.

"What is it?"

Ken asked

"Can i come in?"

I asked for permission.

"Course' just make yourself comfortable."

he answered.

Then i come in and sat in the floor, taking a deep long breath, and prepare myself;

'This is it, i want to know his feeling, but i also don't want to know it at the same time...

W-well, as long as he don't say hate, everything will be alright, right?' I asked to myself.

After some time, i finally asked him;

"Ken, what do you think about me?"

"Er..... In what way are you talking about?"

He asked.

'Why are you asking that? You should just say you like me! Ken, do you really hate me?'

"As a male and female relationship!"

I said, answering his question.

After hearing that, he started to make strange and complicated face.

"Err... well, i think youre cute?"

He answered hesitantly.

'Why is he so hesitant!? Does that mean he really hate me!?'

"That's not what i meant! Just answer this! If i wasn't your sister, would you like me, or hate me!"

"........." He went quiet, and we shared some quiet time....

'Ken! Did you really hate me! Don't just keep quiet!'

After some time passes, he finally said something;

*Gulp* "I think i'll choose like rather than hate if i have to chose between the two." He said uncomfortably

'.... That pause... That uncomfortable face... That hesitant voice... Ken.... Did you really hate me?' I was full with negative emotion in my mind...

"O-okay, i-i'm sorry i've disturbed you."

I said with a shaky voice, and leave the room just like that.

I goes into my room, and collapsed at the bed...

'Ken.... did you really hate me?' I thought that to myself again, and leave to the world of the dream...

Finally done~~

Poor little Sana... she is suffering against her own mind.

Well, next chapter, i'm going to make something alike the previous chapter, but from Loki's PoV, so i guess it'll be a cinch.

Ciao~~.
