“Damn, I feel so powerful right now!”
In reality, Pixie was buzzing with excitement.
Though her in-game persona had forgotten all emotions and wore a perpetual scowl, the real Pixie was still very much human. She couldn’t fully grasp what it meant to forget feelings, but she could definitely feel her newfound strength.
Besides the golden title of "Forgetter," her cultivation talents had skyrocketed due to her soul’s rebirth.
At this moment, she was brimming with formidable energy, a far cry from her former self!
“Is this what they call going dark?!”
I’m out for revenge on that bastard Eirik!
Killing him... Hmm, that feels a bit harsh. After all, we were once married. Maybe I should just cripple his powers and make him my servant, bringing me tea and washing my feet every day...
No, no! That jerk is trying to kill me! I can’t show mercy—I have to kill him!
Yes, I must kill him!
Pixie mumbled to herself.
“However, even though I’m much stronger now, I’m still only Savant Lv1. That guy is probably at Lv4 or even Lv5! I might still be no match for him. I’ll need to keep a low profile for a while!”
With that thought, Pixie dove into intense training.
【Congratulations! You’ve gained a special status: Infiltrator (Purple)】
【Infiltrator: Increases magic learning speed by 10%, comprehension by 5%.】
Oh, so there’s this added benefit to my training? Another purple title?
Pixie was quite pleased.
“Damn, did Pip just get lucky?”
“This is amazing! I just suddenly leveled up to a gold card?”
The world chat exploded with excitement.
Previously, when they saw Pixie moping in that rundown temple, everyone thought her save file was toast. They assumed she’d have to start anew.
Even her quest for revenge against that bastard Eirik seemed impossible, reserved for a future life.
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.
But who could’ve guessed she’d still find fortune like this?!
“A gold card? I don’t think anyone among us players has ever achieved that!”
Selene exclaimed, a mix of shock and envy in her eyes.
“To be fair, Eirik may be a jerk, but without him, Pip wouldn’t have become a gold card!”
“Ha! Are you suggesting Pip should thank him?”
The twists and turns of this situation sparked the curiosity of many female players, igniting their gossiping souls.
“Thanks for your concern, but I, Pixie... I mean, Sister Adelina, have a score to settle with that scoundrel Eirik. This isn’t over!”
Pixie personally chimed in on the world chat.
She was determined to confront Eirik!
All this frantic training was for the day she’d get her revenge!
As she watched her in-game self grow stronger bit by bit, Pixie fell into deep thought.
Unless something unexpected happened, she too would become the legendary Heaven-Forsaken Body in reality, destined to have her soul sealed away, turning into an ordinary person.
Should she follow in her simulated self's footsteps and learn that forgotten magic tome?
And Eirik, that bastard! Had she known he was such a heartless scoundrel, she wouldn’t have tried to recruit him. Tomorrow, she’d find an excuse to give him a good beating and kick him out of the manor!
Hmph!
Thinking about the injustices she faced in the game made Pixie want to cry.
The feeling of betrayal from her husband, being hunted by countless foes, with nowhere to turn—just imagining it left her breathless.
Being betrayed by the person she trusted most—how despairing her in-game self must have felt!
“I can’t forgive that jerk. I have to beat him up tomorrow! No, I’m going to do it right now!”
With that thought, Pixie kicked off her covers and jumped out of bed.
In the game, I couldn’t defeat you, but in reality, I won’t lose either!
I’m now a Practitioner-level master, while you’re just a Stalwart level!
Throwing on a loose outfit, Pixie strode barefoot to Eirik’s door, despite the puzzled looks from her maid.
Knock, knock, knock!
A flurry of impatient knocks echoed.
“Eirik! Open the door! Now!”
Alongside her demanding shout came the clamor.
“What’s going on? It’s late!”
Eirik was puzzled. He was in the midst of a thrilling game session where Pip was about to unlock the forgotten magic tome he had orchestrated.
“Coming, Lady Pip! What can I do for you?”
Eirik opened the door with a look of confusion.
“I...”
Seeing his innocent, bewildered expression, Pixie felt a rush of anger dissipate.
True, he didn’t have memory simulation—he hadn’t done anything wrong yet.
Was it really fair to beat him up without cause?
“Ugh, I’m so furious!”
Pixie huffed, shaking her small fist at his face, but ultimately did nothing. She turned on her heel and left.
？？？？
Eirik watched as she stormed away, barefoot and fuming, his mind swirling with questions.
What just happened?!
Ravenshadow’s lady has a strange temper!
It’s so baffling!
Is she... on her period?
Eirik shrugged it off. He was too engrossed in the game’s critical moment to dwell on reality!
Pip in the game was still waiting for him.
He wouldn’t let this real-world woman distract him!
As he opened the simulation panel, a flurry of system notifications appeared before him.
【After five years of magic study, your power has significantly increased, reaching Savant Level 5.】
【You’ve learned Abyssal Tempest (Purple).】
【You’ve learned Celestial Convergence (Purple).】
…
While Pixie had been in seclusion, forgetting her emotions, Eirik hadn’t been idle. He had joined the Dawnstar Dynasty and became a knight mentor in the Holy Light Order.
Initially, some had doubts about this new mentor, but he proved himself with sheer skill, earning their respect.
There’s no need to elaborate on the usual story beats here.
Thanks to the high regard of the alchemy master Violanda, Eirik learned many secret techniques of the Holy Light Order.
Abyssal Tempest, Celestial Convergence, and others were powerful spells beyond compare.
Now, his abilities were even greater.
Though he was only Savant Lv5, he might very well outclass some Savant Lv7 masters!
However, as he reviewed his newfound strength, the alchemy master Violanda brought him unsettling news.
【“Eirik, Pixie has mastered the Forgotten Tome well and has reached Savant Lv4. She’s on her way to kill you.”】
?
Alchemy Master, this isn’t what you said before!?
Eirik felt a bit gloomy. According to Violanda’s earlier words, after forgetting her emotions, she would be like a stone, devoid of love or resentment.
So how could she want to harm him as if he were a stranger she had no reason to hate?
