Victor's expression enlarged dramatically on the screen.
Shock. Confusion. Anger. Desperation.
A swirl of complex emotions twisted across his face like a storm.
"Victor's face looks even greener than when he overdosed on that potion."
"But if Lucas doesn't team up with Victor, isn't that actually even more dangerous?"
"The strength of Amy and Lily isn't ordinary at all. Lucas was far too impulsive to turn Victor down."

"Sister?!"
Lily gasped in disbelief.
Amy, who stood silently before him, flinched slightly and turned around.
She wore a simple school uniform skirt—but it was soaked in dried, darkened blood.
That sight alone added a spine-chilling eeriness to her presence.
"Brother."
"Sister!"
"Brother!"
"Sister!!"
They echoed each other's cries, back and forth like a haunting melody, until they finally collapsed into a trembling, heart-wrenching embrace.
Lily clutched Amy tightly and asked, "Sister, didn't you die on that rainy day?"
Amy gave a loving smile.
"Silly brother. I did die... and became a ghost."
Tears welled in Lily's eyes.
"So... you've been protecting me this whole time?"
Amy nodded gently. "Everyone who tried to hurt you... I dealt with them."
Lily's tears flowed like rain. "You're amazing, Sister!"
Amy stroked his hair. "You're amazing too, Brother."
Victor, still lying miserably on the floor, wiped his tears with a bruised hand.
"A ghost sister who protects her little brother even in death... that's the most touching sibling bond I've ever seen!"
As Amy and Lily continued their emotional reunion, Lucas stood nearby, face unmoved, brow furrowed.
"Why are you crying over a ghost that's trying to kill you?" he muttered coldly.
Victor froze, caught in his emotions, unable to respond.
---
Suddenly, a translucent blue panel appeared before Lucas.
[Player Lucas has triggered a side mission!]
[Side Mission: Rescue the Amy and Lily siblings.]
[Reward: Unknown.]
Victor didn't react. Apparently, not everyone could trigger the mission.
"I didn't even do anything... Is it because I wasn't moved?" Lucas thought, rubbing his temple in annoyance.
Amy and Lily were still holding each other in a long, emotional embrace. Then, finally, they seemed to remember they weren't alone in the dorm room.
Amy gently patted Lily's head.
"That fat green-faced guy tried to kill you. I made sure he wouldn't."
She slowly raised her blood-stained hand and pointed to Lucas.
"And this guy with the kitchen knife... did he try to hurt you too?"
Lily didn't even hesitate. He nodded hard and pointed at Lucas.
"Yes! He scared me! He was going to kill me, Sister!"
Amy's expression shifted instantly.
The dried blood on her clothes began to melt, flowing like fresh wounds opening anew.
Drip... drip... drip...
Bloodwater leaked from her skirt and fingers, seeping into the floor.
Her eyes turned crimson, glaring at Lucas with pure resentment.
"Anyone who tries to hurt my brother..."
Her long hair rose in the wind, fluttering like a flag of vengeance.
In the rain of blood, she roared: "THEY. MUST. DIE!"
---
Victor's injuries suddenly flared in pain again. Terrified, he began crawling slowly toward the door.
"Screw this. Lucas is begging to die..."
From Victor's point of view, Amy had taken him down in one blow. And now, another new player—Rex—had already frozen outside like an ice sculpture.
There was no way Lucas could survive her wrath.
---
Victor watched, eyes wide.
Amy raised her hand again.
She was about to do to Lucas what she had done to him.
But Lucas finally moved.
He hadn't lowered his umbrella the entire time.
Now he stepped forward—
One hand held the blade.
He crouched low.
With a nudge of his toe, the blood-soaked kitchen knife rose from the floor and flipped into his grip.
As Amy launched blood and shadow at him—
Lucas lifted the umbrella.
And…
Nothing.
The blood, which had soaked Victor in seconds and sent Rex into cardiac arrest, simply dissolved against the umbrella's surface. Not a single drop made it through.
Victor blinked.
"What... kind of umbrella is that?!"
The blade in Lucas's hand had already reached Amy's neck.
Her frightened eyes were reflected clearly in Lucas's—
Until the system blared again.
---
[Warning! Warning!]
[Side Mission Reminder: Save Amy and Lily!]
[Warning! Warning!]
[Do not harm the mission targets!]
Lucas sighed and immediately adjusted his stance.
With one smooth motion, he lowered the knife and raised his umbrella again, letting it block the gory rain.
Then he looked directly at Lily, who had backed into a corner.
He smiled calmly. "It's your turn."
[Amy's current status: No danger.]
---
The scene had shifted.
The dorm room was still soaked in thick, red mist. The walls still dripped with blood. But now, Amy stood frozen, uncertain, as Lucas's blade hovered inches from her skin—but refused to strike.
The system was insistent:
Save them. Don't kill them.
Lucas narrowed his eyes.
So this wasn't a fight.
It was a rescue.
---
Two siblings, twisted by a ghostly curse, bathed in hatred and love, sorrow and death.
And now, he was expected to save them both.
Amy's blood aura began to pulse and shrink.
The hatred in her red eyes faltered.
"Why didn't you... attack me?"
Lucas didn't answer.
Instead, he reached into his coat pocket, pulled out a tiny charm—a paper talisman, sealed with spiritual ink.
He stuck it gently to Amy's forehead.
"Because you don't want to kill me," he said quietly. "You just don't know it yet."
---
Outside the dorm building, the rain finally stopped.
Victor had collapsed in the hallway, still bleeding, eyes twitching.
Rex's body outside was now twitching too, coming back to life.
Inside the room, the talisman on Amy's forehead shimmered.
Her red eyes blinked—once, then twice.
Then...
She collapsed.
Straight into Lucas's arms.

[System Notification: Side Mission Progress – 75% Complete]
[Objective: Lily remains under trauma. Please proceed.]
Lucas turned toward Lily.
The boy had gone pale. His sister—his undead, protective sister—had just dropped unconscious.
"You're next, kid."
"What?!" Lily screamed. "Don't kill me too! Sister!"
"I'm not here to kill you. I'm here to save both of you."
Lucas walked toward the child and knelt down.
"You were lonely. You were scared. You summoned your sister back from death... didn't you?"
Lily's lips trembled. "How... how do you know?"
"Because I've seen it before. A ritual. A spirit bond. You tied her soul to yours. And that's why she's still here."
Lily's voice cracked, "But she's all I have...!"
Lucas didn't flinch.
"And now, she's dying again. Slowly."
He took out another charm and gently touched Lily's chest.
The boy's body stiffened, then relaxed.
A red light drifted out from his chest... and merged with the charm.
Amy stirred in Lucas's arms.
Her lips moved.
"...Brother..."
Then she smiled.
Peacefully.
And vanished.

[System Notification: Side Mission Complete!]
[Reward: Title "Ghost Mediator" + Bonus Points + Unknown Item Acquired!]
---
Lucas stood up, glancing once at the now-silent dorm room.
Victor stumbled back in, face covered in mud and tears.
"You—what did you do to her?!"
Lucas turned, shrugged, and walked away.
"Rescued them."
Victor fell to his knees.
"That's... that's insane. You're insane."
Lucas didn't look back.
"You were crying over a ghost that nearly killed you. I was the only sane one in that room."
---
On a day soaked with blood, Lucas saved the ghost of a sister and the heart of a boy.
And with an umbrella made from flowers...
He walked off into the rainless night.
