Don’t you dare die on me! I swear, if you make me regret jumping from that fucking moving ship—!”Her lashes fluttered, blurred by seawater and tears.“Are you awake?” the voice came again. He was closer now, his breath warm against her cheek. “Can you hear me?!”“I’m begging you… Don’t tell anyone you found me… Someone tried to kill me…”His brows furrowed. “What…? Were you pushed overboard?”Georgia barely managed to nod. But her body had had enough.“Yes…”Then the memories crashed back. Salt water, freezing winds, her body going numb in the ocean…“Don’t come any closer!” she hissed. “I swear to God, I’ll scream if you come one step closer, you pervert!”“I know you...”Nick stiffened. “What now?”“You murdering son of a bitch!” she roared.Georgia grabbed the nearest pillow and hurled it at him.“What the hell? Are you insane?!” he barked, dodging the pillow. “You’re Nicholas Knight! You killed my brother!”Seeing her trembling, he lifted her effortlessly.“Let go of me!” she shrieked, squirming violently.“Stop—shit!” Nick lost his balance.“Maniac!” she declared.That’s when he felt it. Something soft. Plush.His head dropped like a guillotine blade, fast and sharp. His eyes locked on his right hand, which was currently cupping her like he was holding a fragile fruit from the gods.His soul left his body. But his body betrayed him. He was as hard as rock in an instant…Eyes bulging, jaw dropping, Nick choked on a curse. “Fuck.”Too bad he whispered it directly into Georgia’s face.Georgia's knee rocketed upward like a heat-seeking missile.“How dare you touch me, you Captain Pervert! Murderer!” she hissed like a vengeful sea witch.Nick wheezed in pain, clutching his groin. “I saved your life…”

Error... Error]While others awakened talents beyond comprehension, due to an unexpected event, I awakened nothing and was faced with mockery, and eventually, I was abandoned by my teammates.However, moments before my death, I discovered that because of the goddess's intervention, I awakened something, something no human should have been able to.[Due to System errors, your false awakening has been deleted.][Due to System errors, the hosts Soul-Cores will be reset back to it's default state.][Due to system errors, all restrictions has been removed from level 5!][Due to system errors, all cooldowns has been temporarily disabled!][Rebooting System Functions...][System functions has been successful rebooted!][Ding!
