ORV- [Not a character]

Ch.7-Prophet

Yoo Jonghyuk's mind expanded and seeped into the surrounding. Keeping his mind straight wasn't possible in this drug like world. It wasn't as bad when he entered Welcome prison the first time this round because even if trauma is attacking his very being he didn't need to break out of it. 

The dream wasn't relaxing nor soothing, exactly like all the nightmares he had before. A good night's rest was already a forgotten concept to him.

The nightmare whispered reminders of the past into his ears, it reminded him of his failure and his losses. The whispers takes the voices of his former comrades, it keeps telling him to give up and that nothing is worth it. Further away he also hears screams of one's who died by his sword. 

「 Yoo Jonghyuk? Are you Yoo Jonghyuk? 」

It seems that there isn't only memories of the past mixed in this dream. A hazy figure of a short blond foreigner showed itself before Yoo Jonghyuk's eyes. This hadn't happened before, was it because of the specter's stone he had used?   

「 It seems I found the right person after all. 」

The woman who can see the future and uses that ability the shape her own dream. A perfect night. A night without any constellations, were she ruled. Her ambition wasn't that unlike his but they could never join arms peacefully until Kim Dokja came around. She, who had betrayed him in the 2nd round, completely backstabbed. 

In her eyes, he was just a tool to be used, they could never become companions. Not again. 

「 ...What have you done? 」

What was she going on about now? 

「 Why... why can't I see anything...? 」

{She can't see anything... then...}

This was unexpected. Was this a side effect from time traveling? But it was good, he could use this to his advantage. 

"Anna Croft, to think that the you only accounted to this much." 

He wanted to mock her. Just like how Kim Dokja does it. 

"And here I thought you were some great prophet that only comes around once in a century time." 

「 ... 」

It felt good making fun of her. He didn't have this kind of opportunity before because she could always transfer her memories to the next turn and yet, here she was, without any memories. 

"You came and scouted me, yet now you got nothing to say? You aren't the type to contact anyone with out a purpose."

"So tell me what you have to say." 

「 Are you really Yoo Jonghyuk? 」

"If you just came to question my identity then leave."

「 You have changed. 」

「 To think this cold-blooded murder could have changed this much in such a short time.  」

「 What happened?  」

"You have no right to question my decisions, after all, wasn't it you who backstabbed me?"

「 You are still stuck up on the past? 」

「 ... 」

「 I'll give you a offer. I'll make you my teammate and give you information about the future and in return, you'll have to follow my orders. 」

A deep frown appeared on his face. He definitely didn't like the offer. 

Was is Anna Croft thinking trying to make me her comrade, surely she of all people would understand that such a offer is meaningless. What makes Anna Croft think that Yoo Jonghyuk would ever trust her again.
