[ A/n : I'm about to use my own biblical theory in this fic. Don't attack me. Lmao. Thank you. ]

[ Last riddle! ]

[ How can the number four be half of five? ]

"That's not possible," Yoo Jonghyuk muttered.

(Y/n) sighed, "It's a riddle!"

[ This is the last one, and I really wanted to know how you got all of the answers correct ]

"I am a lawyer, I can't afford to fall for mind tricks." (Y/n) huffed. Crossing her arms. 

[ You're a lawyer? ]

"Yes! And good goddamn one, fucker." (Y/n) started thinking again, it is really a good thing that there is no time limit.

'Four being half of five. . . four. . . five. . . fi. . . ve. . iv. .   IV!!!'

"I've got it!" (Y/n) exclaimed.

"The roman numeral for four is half of the word five!" (Y/n) answered.

"How?" Asked Yoo Jonghyuk.

How could someone think of an answer so fast? Quite simple, main character thing. . .

[ Correct. ]

The tile connected to each other so (Y/n) could pass, Yoo Jonghyuk helped her move to safety.

The statues and floating stones returned to the ground and (Y/n)'s vision is starting to return.

[ My job here is done. Don't die, you bring in a lot of money ]

(Y/n) raises her middle finger at him again before he disappears.

"Ugh, now I know the feeling of being blind." (Y/n) has her right hand on Yoo Jonghyuk's shoulder for support.

"Hold on, my eyesight has not yet fully returned." (Y/n) saw Yoo Jonghyuk nod although very blurry.

"Alright, I'm fine. . ." she said.

"I can see the tower from here." She heard Yoo Jonghyuk uttered.

She turned to where he's looking at saw a tall tower made of bricks. There is a huge cross on top of it, and vines were covering half of the structure.

"I don't see the Psion anywhere," (Y/n) spoke. "How do we summon it?" She asked.

"I'm not sure, maybe if we anger him he will show up." He replied.

(Y/n) turned to Yoo Jonghyuk, "Did you just assume the Psion's gender?"

"What?"

"How do you know it's a 'he'? You know it could be a girl too." She narrowed her eyes at him.

Yoo Jonghyuk looked at her confusedly.

[ The constellation 'Serpent of Eden' says that the Psion has no gender ]

[ The constellation 'Serpent of Eden' deadpan ]

Serpent of Eden. A constellation that follows (Y/n) from the very beginning. A constellation belonging to the Lithurgian Nebula.

At first (Y/n) thought that it was Satan, and she has no problem with that. It would be kind of creepy though.

I mean. . . it's Satan.

Then she realized that Satan is not present in Lithurgian Mythology.

The serpent of eden. . . the bible never confirmed that Satan is the serpent. It has caused a huge debate, claiming that Satan appears on the bible rarely and the identity of the serpent were never revealed. . . so what if the serpent that tempted Eve wasn't Satan at all?

Of course the church has said nothing.

(Y/n) could only think of one person. . . or if that person could even be considered a person.

Before Eve was created, Adam has another wife. It is said that Eve wasn't the first female created by God.

The first one refused to submit to Adam unlike Eve. Some said that she isn't human. . . some said she was a demon.

There are many different variations of the story. But (Y/n) chose to believe that she was punished for disobeying God.

"Lilith. . ." That was the name of that woman. Yoo Jonghyuk turned to look at her when she muttered the name out of the blue.

[ The constellation 'Serpent of Eden' is shaking ]

(Y/n) smirked. Is her assumption correct? She looked up at the sky.

The first woman created. . . is watching her. How cool is that?

"I wonder what you're doing in Lithurgian Mythology. . ."

"Who are you talking to?"

"The spirits."

"We're wasting time. Let's kill the Psion."

[ The constellation 'Serpent of Eden' is glaring at you both]

"Oh. . . I'm not planning to kill it." (Y/n) said then she smiled at Yoo Jonghyuk.

"Wouldn't it be such a waste if the creature were to die?" She asked him.

[ The constellation 'Serpent of Eden' is watching you intently]

"We need to kill it."

"The clear conditions never mentioned anything about killing it."

"Then what are you planning to do with it?" He asked.

"Dear, there's so much more that you could get from a monster if you kept it alive rather than ending its life."

"Dear?"

"Is that the only thing you've got from that sentence? I use endearments unconsciously."

[ The constellation 'Secretive Plotter' says you don't ]

[ The constellation 'Chrysalis' says you don't ]

[ The constellation 'Serpent of Eden' says you don't ]

[ The constellation 'Tirek' says you don't ]

[ The constellation 'Demon-like Judge of Fire' shoved some popcorn on her mouth ]

[ The constellation 'Celestia' munched on her popcorn slowly ]

[ The constellation 'Princess of Self-Ruin' is silent ]

[ The constellation 'Spirit of Chaos' is stroking the constellation 'Princess of Self-Ruin's hair ]

(Y/n) rolled her eyes at the messages. "What I'm saying is. . ."

"The Psion is going to become my familiar."
