My Career is Useless in this World!!

Episode 140- Red Abyss

Episode 140- Red Abyss

Previous episode: Eugene noticed how beautiful the world was. Louis and his group reunited with Eugene's group but the happy atmosphere did not last long. Levis taught Eugene and Euria on spot not to respect those who don't deserve your respect. To always protect Moniqua. Ario went crazy, confessed to the incident 3 years ago, and exploded. Euria's nose bled heavily and Eugene fainted.

'Again?' There was a hint of speechlessness in Eugene's voice as she stared in front of her, 'Did I really crack my head open and die again?'

She did not seem to recall anything other than the fact that she blacked out. And when she opened her eyes again, she found herself being able to float. No. She wasn't randomly floating in her room. She was floating in the abyss. Not the dark abyss she went to when she died, but an abyss of deep red.

There was another thing different this time other than being able to float and the abyss being red and that was she did not have to pick up a book for a figure to appear.

"....."

Wait a minute... Wait a damn minute!

Book?! Figure?!

Eugene's mouth widened from realization. She had picked up a book in the abyss when she died! She picked up a book titled Promissum!

Three years ago, before the dark abyss fell apart and before 'herself' covered in blood appeared in front of her, she seemed to have picked up a book with 'Promissum' written in on the front page!

Eugene did not have time to care about the sleeping yet standing figure in front of her as all she could think of was the book! The book that burned her hands!

'That was Promissum!!' Her mouth gaped open even more as she sucked her breath in! 'How did I forget that?!' At this moment, she wanted nothing more than to punch herself in the head. Naturally, she did not go through with the motion but instead began to rub her chin.

"No wonder I found it so familiar... no wonder..." But why? Why was Promissum there in the middle of the abyss?

The binding promise of United West Liasel.

Promissum, Latin for Promise.

'What if.' Eugene furrowed her eyebrows, 'What if there are not one, but more Promissum's out there?' She tried to reason with herself as to why Promissum would be sitting in the abyss, because why on earth would she pick up Promissum that bound United West Liasel together? How was that related to her in any way? And most important of all, there was no way Promissum that bound United West Liasel together would be inside the abyss.

It is more 'logical' to think that there are more Promissum's out there. But then again, what on earth made her pick up that book? Her memories before the abyss broke apart were blurry. But she also knew that she wasn't the type of person who would randomly pick things up. This was her personality before she met Euria... of course. But besides that! There was no way she had picked up the book with her consent. It was either she was forced to pick up the book, or that the book 'coincidentally' landed in her hands.

She didn't want to believe in 'coincidence' because it was an icky word, so, being forced to was what she will believe in for now.

But why? She had died then. She was dead. She knows she died because she had felt herself dying in the cold storage room.

"...."

Eugene had a revelation, and she couldn't help but gasp, "NO WAY! WAS IT PROMISSUM?!"

She could feel shivers going down her spine. She knows that what she thought of wasn't logical, but her being alive and well wasn't logical in the first place!
