Everyone Else Has a System-Chapter 268 Ziana

Floor 99th…

In this blue tinted night…

I saw her again…

Black hair and a pure white face…

She looked beautiful as always…

Her crystal white eyes which were similar to mine…

The black dress she wore with a kind of black tiara on her head…

…

I observed her carefully with a special warmth in my chest

"It has been a while, Zero. Did you miss me?" she asked with a chuckle as she turned to me before moving towards me.

"Kind of… how are you, Ziana?" I asked with a bit of a nostalgic smile as I looked at her.

"I see that you have gone through a lot of changes," she spoke with slight sadness before moving closer to me and placed her hands on my cheeks as she spoke,

"Sadness Sadness go away!" and then she gently kissed on my forehead before taking a few steps back and smiling brightly as she asked

"Did that help a little?" f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶

I felt a strange energy inside my body that kind of made me relax a lot and I looked at her with a slight smile as I spoke,"it sure did. I actually have a message from someone."

Placing her index finger on her chin, she looked at me carefully as she spoke,"is that so? What would that be?"

I began walking and passed from her side as I observed the area and spoke,"it was that old man from the 66th floor. He asked me to tell you that 'It is about time. We should do what we are supposed to do as well.' "

I told her what the old man asked me to tell her and peeking at her expression, I saw her making a really sad expression as she muttered,"why did I even choose to do that?"

She was really sad and as she looked at me she said,"Well… I don't want you to die either… " though she trailed off in the end.

I could make out that she was contemplating on something, and that something was probably related to me. Though, I couldn't really make out what was the thing that she was thinking about.

However, not even a moment after, she turned to me and spoke,

"Well… I guess it is what it is then… But still… can you at least tell me how things were all this time you were outside?"

I looked at her for a few moments before pondering and then speaking,"sure I guess… After all you had done for me… I think I can do that much, at least."

From that point, she smiled as she hurriedly walked towards me on her tippy toes and grabbed my hand and dragged me on to a nearby bench where she made me sit before sitting in front of me and speaking.

"Tell me then."

She was really excited to hear my story and, not wasting her time; I chuckled a little before starting to tell her about what happened after I moved to the 100th floor.

Back when I came here last time in the previous timeline, I thought she was a monster but honestly she was just a simple girl who wanted to talk to someone… however this one… damn, she was too interested to know about me.

She asked me about my favourite colours, the type of life I lived, the girl I liked… She was kind of judging the girls that I met in my life too. Surprisingly, she really likes Lucia… for whatever reason.

She kept talking to me about what I wanted to become if I had a different life and many more things…

Since I had all the time in the world last time, I kept talking to Ziana for a long time. Many things were repeated many times, yet she smiled and listened to it intently and provided her own view of them.

When I ran out of things to tell Ziana and she too felt like she had heard enough, she spoke that she would wait for me to return and I promised to do so as well… though I never got the chance to visit the Netherrealm last time… however because of fate itself, here I was telling her stories again.

…

I started from floor 100th, which she asked me to skip for some reason. Not minding her, I told her about everything that had transpired in my life, how Lucia used me, abused me and other stuff, though she only said one thing whenever I told her about Lucia…

"Wish things could have been different."

Though when someone else abused me or used me, she made the most angriest expression she had ever done… Did she know Lucia? Why do I feel like there was more to it than I believe there is… however, there was something she spoke in between which made me doubt my ears a little.

"Poor Valencia… sigh… continue," she spoke with a sigh and then focused on me again. I kind of wanted to ask who Valencia was, but for some reason, I felt like I shouldn't ask.

Compared to Emma and Theia, who felt like they would kill Lucia the moment they would see her, Ziana was too calm with whatever she did.

Anyway, I kept telling her about everything, including how I got the other Fragments and Amon, finally reaching the point where I was.

Many times in between, she advised me on things which I should have done and which I shouldn't except in Lucia's case, where she kept her silence. Even how I dealt with Lucas. She told me that I should be more careful with Lucy, his sister and also Emma.

Though in the end she just spoke,"well… I think you did fine, though. Even though you messed up a lot in your previous life, you ended up learning a lot from that.

Though, I didn't like how you died, but still… I think it was supposed to happen, too."

She then stood up and spoke with a calm voice,

"Well… I guess now that I know everything about you… I think I am quite satisfied with how you lived your life. I am proud of you ****", Ziana spoke a word, a name that I couldn't hear. Though before I could speak anything, Ziana spoke,

"You have received a lot of things from the floor below, so I guess it won't be fair if I don't give you something, too. As for what I will give you… I will unlock your emotions… your emotion of Sadness."
