System vs Rebirth-Novel



Noel and Anna were the first ones to jump off, heading straight to the abandoned camping sites. They had to move fast before the demons on the mountain noticed them or the flying demons reached their position.

The others were following right behind them as they had decided to follow the two.

As they descended the mountain, there was a conflicting thought in Anna's mind. She never thought that Noel had this degree of trust in her. On the other hand, she wondered if she could even do something like that.

Yet, amidst this surge of emotion, Anna continued focusing on her instinct, making sure that it wasn't wrong.

'There is truly no demon in that abandoned camping site.' Anna thought while looking around. She felt a faint threat coming from that direction, but they were a bit far, so they seemed to be safe for the time being.

Nicole increased her speed while saying, "I'll scout the area in front."

Damian and Dimitri moved to the side, making sure there was no demon attacking them. If they were spotted, the situation would become extremely complicated after all.

As soon as they stepped foot on the abandoned camping site, a strange calm settled over them.

"Hmm?" Anna furrowed her eyebrows. The absence of demons created an eerie tranquility in the area.

Unfortunately, they didn't have time to explore the situation. Nicole hurriedly opened one of the building's doors with her power and said, "Come in!"

The camping site looked like a dome made of glass. The side that was facing the peak of the mountain was being painted with color, making them unable to see whatever was inside.

But when they looped around it, they would find that the other side was transparent.

They hurriedly entered the dome, taking shelter until the flying demons were gone.

"Dimitri," Noel called his butler's name, signaling him to use his power.

Dimitri nodded and reached out to the curtains on the side. He pulled it to the other side, but because of the passing of time, it became so brittle that the curtain dropped down.

Dimitri clicked his tongue and used his shadow to attach it, but Damian decided to help him by freezing the curtain on the wall, completely covering everything inside.

Nicole maintained her position near the door to check the situation.

After making sure it was safe, she finally let out a long sigh and said, "There are no demons coming. We just have to wait for the flying demons to pass us."

As soon as they heard the confirmation, the group felt relieved.

"Still, what's wrong with this site? Shouldn't this place be occupied by the demons?" Noel asked while looking around.

His question captured the others' curiosity. The serene atmosphere in this place made them calm down, and they began to look around, examining this place.

When their gaze shifted to the curtains, they could imagine the breathtaking view of the mountain.

Within the dome, the ambiance exuded an air of elegance and comfort, giving a luxurious feeling. They could find a bed, the same big screen Noel found in the mysterious facility, and even the magic pencil.

It was covered in dust and couldn't be used anymore, but it didn't change the fact that they were within one of the buildings from the previous civilization.

"What should we do in this place?" Damian asked. "It's true that we didn't plan to explore this place, but it didn't change the fact that we were within one of the facilities. Should we explore this place at the very least?"

"We should think about what we should do after this…" Dimitri shook his head. "Our objective remains the same. And even if we can stay in this place, there will still be a lot of demons in the facility at the foot of this mountain. So, we have to return and avoid all this."

"Hmm?" Noel looked down, contemplating. Before making a decision, he asked Anna, "What do you think? No, what do you feel right now?"

Anna looked down for a moment, focusing all her senses on her instinct.

"There are a lot of demons in this mountain. The building ahead is too far, so I can't be sure."

Noel contemplated his choices and said, "How about using this place to camp first? The sun is about to set, so I think this will be a great spot to relax. In the meantime, Nicole can scout the area ahead, especially that building. If there are demons in that place, we'll return to our original spot and avoid this area."

Nicole didn't have any objection to this suggestion. They were quite exhausted after continuously fighting demons while making their way toward this place. So, it would be better to feel a bit relaxed in the middle of their journey.

Nicole then glanced at Anna. "In that case, we will be together in the dome next to this one."

"Actually…" Anna raised her finger with an awkward smile. There was something she wanted to talk about with Noel.

This feeling crept into her heart when Noel showed such trust. So, she thought it would be right to tell him about it.

But because the request looked excessive, she couldn't help but make a weird smile. "…I want to have a discussion with Noel, so I'll remain here for the time being."

"Huh?" Nicole was confused. Anna had been in the same tent as her this whole time, so it was surprising that she suddenly wanted to remain here. It sounded like Anna was making an excuse to sleep with Noel.

Anna and Noel's identities were extremely sensitive, so sleeping together would cause a lot of problems.

"You are planning to sleep with him? Tell me honestly, have you two got engaged or something?" Nicole was completely stupefied, trying to understand their true relationship.

"What? Engaged?" Anna was bewildered as Nicole misunderstood her. She only wanted to talk with Noel. That was all. But the latter interpreted it in a lewd way.

And surprisingly, it was not just Nicole. Dimitri suddenly opened his mouth. "Master. I have prepared the bed."

Both Noel and Anna turned around, seeing Dimitri standing next to the bed. Surprisingly, Dimitri had cleaned up the bed and changed the sheet so that it was suitable for them to sleep, causing them to be speechless.

"…"
