Reincarnated into a Doomed Novel as an Unknown Extra-Chapter 52: Hard Choice
Chapter 52: Hard Choice
════════
[Night Terror: From now onward, never, and NEVER, trust anyone. Part of your team or not, the moment your talents got revealed you became the first target to all sides in Eldoria. You are the only one with real potential to make soul-bound artifacts without talking about all the items and potions on that Grimoire, so do not underestimate your value. Remember that people out there would rather kill you than leave someone else to have you. If you feel that some people are acting suspiciously, kill them! Whether they are demons or not.]

"...."
My eyes lingered on the first message for a long moment, before finally accepting it.
’Yeah, I should have expected that.’ I sighed inwardly as all my hopes of living peacefully after leaving this hell faded away.
As someone with talent for 4 professions that were never heard of, anyone would be stupid if they left me alone.
But I had made up my mind since the start.
"For anyone watching this, I will join the government, so don’t even try." I said with a voice that wasn’t loud or low, making sure that whoever was listening would hear that clearly.
From the corner of my eye, I noticed that Celestina was looking at me with pity and visible hesitation in her eyes. She probably got a message about me.
Shaking my head and ignoring her, I read the next messages.
════════
[Purple Divinity: I bought something that would help you so much in your situation, and try to take care of your mental health, because you must remember that people your age didn’t even see a Tier 1 monster, talk less about enduring all that pain and fighting Tier 2. Stand proud.]
[The Solar Prince: Continue persevering! I will keep encouraging you!]
════════
I couldn’t help but smile after reading the second and third messages.
It was nice to get encouraging messages from time to time. I was planning to thank these 2 myself after leaving.
It wasn’t that I wasn’t grateful for the others, but it was just these 2 were the most normal of all of them.
I thanked them quickly then continued my reading
════════
My Uncle: Never follow the path of that lunatic Leonard! Be careful when you devour a soul to not lose yourself like him, or even better, don’t devour souls at all!! Something else, the soul fruits are safe. They can restore your soul essence and calm your mind so don’t worry. Oh, and before I forget, you need to merge an artifact with soul essence somehow before trying to connect it to your soul, but I don’t know much about the soul path to help you unfortunately.]
════════
As I read the fourth message, my eyes widened slightly. There was useful information here.
I just remembered that they both were from Zora, though I didn’t know what Leonard did, it looks like he was really hated.
Well, it was expected after seeing all what he did. That man really tried to breed a coe with a rock!
Thanking my un... I mean that guy, I continued reading.
════════
[The Nameless Devil: HAHAHA! I knew I made the right decision when I chose you. We are both walking on the path of the abyss! And whatever happen to you, don’t turn hollow. Emotions are part of the abyss too, even though you are losing them now. Good luck!]
[Space Queen: I’m more determined to steal you from that guy now. Remember that he can’t keep you behind him forever.]
════════
"Ah... th-thanks?" ignoring Space Queen, I was confused by the nameless devil message.
Was I losing my emotions? I didn’t feel any change though.
Dismissing those thoughts, I read the last 2 messages.
════════
[The 40th Season Winner: I bought a soul freezer for you. With it, you can turn souls into liquids or solids by just compressing them before using that item, and you can enhance your soul with fire to reverse them if you need. Yeah, I know that I’m the best. You don’t need to thank me, boy.]
[Fateweaver: In the depths of the abyss, there is no trace of light, but the darkness isn’t bad as they think. For being the opposite doesn’t mean a sin.]
════════
As usual, I understood no shit from Fateweaver, and I was almost sure that Fateweaver just wrote some bullshit to look mysterious.
My focus was fixed in the 40th winner’s message.
If what he said was real, then I can finally start soul forging and alchemy!
After showing my gratitude to them all, I opened the gifts in an instant as if my life depended on it.

"That’s... I... wha..."
After reading the description of all those items, my body started trembling in hesitation.
’What... what am I supposed to choose?!’
I couldn’t help but hesitate. After all, they were just too good to be ignored! Why was everyone too generous this month?!
The guiding light was something I must definitely get. That was the solution to our situation!
The water container would fix a lot of problems for us. We were finishing our water quickly, and the magical water that Andrea could make was drinkable for only him.
I didn’t need to worry about the abyssal potion, because I was a half abyssal entity myself.
The blink boots were so great for running at the last moment while fighting something.
And everything else was so important for my soul understanding!
Though I was a little disappointed that there were no swords, but who was I to complain after seeing all that?
I needed to take only 4 items now, so I needed to this carefully on my choice.
"Can you tell the gifts you got? So I can choose one if you know what I mean." Andrea’s voice suddenly took me out of my daze. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
My eyes lit up as I processed what he just said.
Right, I only had to see if they got something useful that would make one of my gifts worthless currently.
Ignoring Maxwell that only got egg bombs, I focused on what they were going to say.
What they got would determine what I was going to pick this month.
The next moment, Celestina started talking.
