Max Level After 5000 Years
A fear.

There was nothing Ilya could see. In front of him was only an endless black scene and he stood alone staring ahead, questioning where he was at the moment.

"I can't see any—"

Ilya's voice was stingy. Her neck was hot as if a chain of fire was wrapped around her neck until she lost her breath, Ilya made a revolt, she tried to pull the chain even though her hand was now blistered from it.

'it's so painful!'

With all my might Ilya destroyed the chain, eliminating it into pieces. His breathing was hunting, strangely the burns on his neck were gone along with the heat and pain he felt earlier.

"What's going on!?"

Ilya's gaze shifted. He looked down, looking at his heavy and cold feet, apparently someone's hand was pulling him into the darkness further, Ilya kicked the hand and then suddenly disappeared.

From that incident Ilya realized that he was currently having a nightmare, which is why he was trying to wake up from his sleep.

"Weird dream, I have to get up from here—"

"Sigma Ilya. You killed us."

Ilya flinched as soon as she heard that semi hoarse and heavy voice from behind her. He turned around, quickly finding Lune's headless figure and her two companions who had directly attacked Ilya just like that.

"!!"

Ilya woke. The sweat is pouring out, like running out of a marathon on a hot day. He found himself asleep in bed, it was dark and the clock on the table showed twelve o'clock at night.

Many times Ilya set her own breath, trying to return to the real world and not thinking about her nightmare.

"Noe, are you there?"

Ilya said briefly. Trying to call Noe who since he came home from the dungeon just remained silent, Ilya thought Noe disappeared for a moment.

["Nightmare?"]

As if they were not just sharing a body, Noe knew that Ilya had woken up from a dream. The prestige Ilya did not want to say it clearly, which was why he wrapped it up a little better.

"No. The three Hunters I killed in the dungeon haunted me in a dream,"

[.......]

["Just like it's a nightmare"]

Noe denied. Ilya was about to argue again but Noe's next speech successfully made him speechless.

["You coward. Maybe because you're not the one who should have been chosen by the dimensional guards, so you're having mental problems after killing someone"]

An imaginary crossroads filled Ilya's head. Could he be called a coward by a voice that is not clear what form it looks like, he clearly does not want to accept it.

"I'm not a coward!"

["You coward, suck. Your powers are useless to you, when you can do anything but you think about everything so as not to get out of your safe zone"]

The rain of facts from Noe hit Ilya's heart right then and there. It was true, Ilya had always been in his safe zone when he had already lived on earth.

the power of hers was rarely used, Ilya only used that power when needed. But he wouldn't be called a coward.

"I'm not!—"

["If you never develop like this, Ilya Sigma. The first disaster candidate is in sight, even the trigger is already you know. This time, don't think about risk. Don't be like the old me"]

Noe said very slowly at the end. Ilya did not understand the meaning of Noe's words. Does the system also have a life before? Ilya wanted to ask like that, but now she had to take care of the others.

Ilya confirmed her position, she sat down and leaned back using her pillow placed on the wall, Ilya's feet were still covered in blankets—she stared towards the ceiling of the room, she said, then his gaze turned to stare at the large glass window that was left open the curtains.

the moonlight of that time entered Ilya's room, making her dark room slightly bright because of the earth satellite.

"I'm just scared of killing someone. Although seeing blood had become a habit for me back in the dungeon, it was monster blood. People are different again,"

["They will still die even if not in your hands."]

"I know that"

Ilya closed her eyes for a moment.

["They're the bad guys who deserve to die. If you feel sorry for the enemy just because you sympathize with his life, then stop now"]

"Can I stop?"

["Not stupid. If I could've changed you from the beginning with someone else"]

Ilya smiled wryly. The more days Noe's speech just stabs.

"Your words are always piercing yes" he said honestly. Ilya's eyes felt heavy from being sleepy again.

["It's congenital, it's hard to change"]

Ilya scrunched his forehead.

'But? Is the system born?'

"You're right."

["In the future, maybe you'll take more people's lives. Your enemies will not hesitate to kill you, which is why you should be able to do the same"]

"I'll try"

["You have to do it"]

"Thank you"

["Huh? I don't know what you said?"]

"Curtain, I said thank you!"

Although for a while but Ilya heard the sound of Noe's laughter. This was the first time he had heard the system laugh, but how could the system have a sense of humor?

["No problem. My job is to help you, so now you have to go to bed"]

Noe almost took over Ilya's body again and put her to sleep, but Ilya quickly spoke to her.

"Wait first! Noe! Let's make a deal!"

His voice was a bit high when he said that. Ilya was worried that Gauri sleeping next to her room would hear her voice earlier, so now she slowed down her tone.

[“What do you mean?"] Noe asked briefly.

"I don't like it when you control my body by force, so let's make a deal about the time you can and don't control my body"

["I did it for your own good"]

Ilya choked on his own saliva. Now Noe looks like a parent advising her son.

"now you sound like an old man"

["What!? Hid. So, what do you want?"]

Ilya chuckled amusedly hearing Noe's grumbling voice. He had already thought about it, the deal Ilya would do with Noe as an ego-based system living in his body.

"I'll let you take over my body when things get desperate. You know, even though I have strong powers but my actions are sometimes impulsive, so, when I'm not sure what I'm going to do you can take over my body" Ilya said. His eyes looked to the side, there was a picture frame of him and Gauri there—their first photo when Ilya just came out of the dungeon.

["I understand. I'll do as you please"]

Ilya breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Noe would put forward a difficult requirement, but it was unexpected that he instead agreed to it so easily.

‘Then I know gini I should have said it aja from the beginning'

That way Ilya is not just controlled by Noe.

["I'll ask"]

"What?"

Ilya pulled the blanket, because it was early morning he became sleepy again and decided to return to dreamland.

["How did you get out of my control back then?"]

Ilya's hand confirmed the position of the pillow. He pondered for a moment, thinking about the time he used his strength to kill the Hunters in the dungeon yesterday.

"I don't know. What is clear is that you disappeared somewhere, so I can use my powers without being controlled by you."

Ilya answered as she could. He really did not know what made him unable to be controlled by Noe, even though Noe should have been able to control his power at that time.

His mouth evaporated, giving the code to his eyes to immediately close and fall asleep. Ilya has to go with Gauri tomorrow, and tomorrow he will meet Remy.

“Udah yes, I'm sleepy.”

After saying that Ilya was asleep. So easy he waded back to dreamland, because tired so he immediately fell asleep in seconds.

On the other hand Noe fell silent while thinking about why Ilya could suddenly escape his control. Whereas it should be as long as he was still hitchhiking in Ilya's body then he could take over his consciousness, but this time he failed as if the power within Ilya was trying to push himself to leave.

“No, it's not time for me to go”

Noe muttered, his Amethyst-colored eyes staring at the transparent hands. He has not been able to get out of Ilya's body, at least later when the dimensional guards allowed him—he would have to wait again.
