[Master!! This is bad, you have to beat that monster right away] Woli shouted worriedly.

I who can no longer breathe tried my best to untie this bond. But more and more aquatic plants tied me up trying to get me into the mouth of the monstrous monster.

'Since it's like this, it looks like I'll have to use that skill,'

I stretched out my palm forward, the red light started to gather there, and made a small red ball with an aura that looked devastating. I immediately fired it at the aquatic plant.

The red ball went into the aquatic plant monster's mouth quickly. Not long after, the monster shouted in a strange voice.

*Scrhiii*

The monster's body started to wither, but the monster still tried to injure me. A very strong current of water hit me and caused many wounds to my body, I could feel like a giant hammer had just hit my chest. This unbearable pain made me instantly faint on the spot. The aquatic plant didn't move anymore, it slowly withered and shattered like glass.

"Cough, Cough, hah… hah… Lute where are you?"

I looked around, I was currently on the river bank. I tried to remember what happened earlier, my face instantly turned pale.

"Lute!! Where are you, please answer me"

I'm feeling really scared now, I searched the river and found Lute floating upside down on the river. I went to save him, after bringing him to land I laid him down.

Lute has many wounds on his body, his face is pale, he is also not breathing at all.

"No!! Lute please wake up."

I cried so hard, I press his chest a few times, but it was no use. I gave him artificial respiration, it was also useless. I did this all the time in fear of losing him.

"Lute, please wake up, I will do anything, I beg you to stay alive. I love you too. So I beg you to stay alive,"

Even after many things I tried Lute still didn't wake up, I could see his face getting paler like a corpse. I tried to feel his heartbeat, but it got weaker with time.

"No, no, Lute please wake up, I will be your woman, I don't care if you have another woman. Please wake up."

I hugged Lute tightly, but his body was so weak. His skin turned cold as a corpse, I tried to give his warmth from my embrace.

*Thump.....thump.............*

The thing I feared so much happened, I couldn't feel his heartbeat anymore. Pain like someone was tearing a part of me, feeling of losing a loved one, this pain was even more painful when my parents died.

"NO!!!! LUTE, DON'T DIE!!!"

Lute always smiles in front of me, he sometimes acts funny and can always make me laugh. He who can always be relied on, he said he loves me, but I can't even reciprocate all that. I felt the world going dark, I sat there with Lute on my lap pillow.

My eyes have no light at all, I caressed lute's face, with my tears dripping every time. I now understand, without Lute, I feel like this world is fading away.

'My stupidity made me lose the person I love again,'

"Master wake up!!"

I heard Woli's voice screaming in my ear, opened my eyes slowly, what I see now is a white and black room.

"Ugh, where is this?"

I held my head in pain, after the monster's attack, I can't remember what happened next. The pain made me faint instantly.

'What a fool, why don't I use 'Berserk Mercilessly' at least before I faint, I don't feel any pain at all,'

"Master, we are now in your subconscious," I heard Woli's voice again.

"Eh? Subconscious?"

I looked at Woli and was immediately taken aback. What I saw right now was a little girl maybe 13-14 years old. The little girl had silver hair with bear ears, a cute face, and amber eyes.

"Wh-who are you?"

"Hah? Of course, I am Woli, the system that has been with you all this time,"

Woli kicked my leg hard in annoyance, I groaned in pain because of it.

"Ow, what are you doing?"

"That's to wake you up," Woli giggled.

I looked at her in annoyance and tapped her head once.

"Ouch, Master it hurts," Woli held her head.

"Woli, why did your body become like this? I remember aren't you just an ordinary polar bear?"

"Did you just say the system is just an ordinary polar bear, Master? This is my real body, if I get stronger, I will slowly turn into this," Woli replied displeasedly.

"You've never explained this to me before."

"That's because you didn't ask,"

'I don't know whose fault it is now,' I held my head.

Looking around, there was nothing here, other than the room being split into black and white. But after I checked carefully, I saw a strange giant gate in the black area, gate gave off an unpleasant aura. If I didn't look at it properly, I probably wouldn't have known there was a gate there because color blended so well with the room.

"Woli what gate is that." I pointed towards the gate.

"Hmm?? I don't know either, Master, because I arrived here with you," Woli was also curious.

"Shall we try to open it?"

"Are you sure Master? It could be a bad thing," Woli looks worried.

I thought about what Woli said, usually it's not a good thing, maybe like a seal I often see in ninja anime or something like that. But I feel very curious now, what is behind that gate?

Will there be a fox monster? Or is the gate itself the beginning of becoming a great alchemist? Well, that's all just stories I've seen.

Walking towards the gate, when my feet stepped into the black area. My body immediately shivered, I felt someone watching me from the gate. But the feeling quickly disappeared, as if it had just been a lie.

I breathed heavily, looking towards the gate.

"Masters!? Are you okay?" Masters!!"

"I-I'm fine, maybe it's better if we don't try anything with that gate,"

Just remembering that feeling just now made me shiver, what exactly was inside that gate? And why is it here?

"Hah..."

After returning to the white area, I breathed a sigh of relief. Woli looks at me worriedly, she seems to have realized something bad behind the gate.

"Woli, how can we go back now?"

"Master, your body is already dying even now on verge of death," Woli looked at me seriously.

"W-what? how could that be? What should I do now?" I grabbed Woli's shoulder shaking her.

"Stop shaking my shoulders!!" Woli said annoyed.

"I'm sorry, I can't help it,"

Holding her head Woli could only sigh, seeing her Master's anxiety.

"Don't worry Master, you just need to activate 'Berserk Mercilessly' and it will heal your wounds,"

"Is that so, let's do it now!!"

"Berserk Mercilessly,"

I don't feel anything in my body, is this correct?

"Woli, I don't feel anything," I tilted my head.

"Of course not, Master, you are currently in your subconscious, just watch the effect you will wake up soon,"

Sure enough, it wasn't long before my vision blurred, before merging with the darkness.
