Zosia: Quick Transmigration System-Chapter 27 - 26- ARC 1
֎Zosia POV֎
Zosia combed her hair into a pony style as she looked at herself in the mirror.
Making sure that not a strand of hair was out of place.
She wore an all black outfit. "I can only use this night to find out, what exactly is on that land." Her eyes sparked with a special glint.
Spraying a special spray on her body which did well to hide someone scent.
"Sigh! This only works for dogs or those animals who can perceive smells from a mile away." She said with a sufhunder her breath as she strutted out of the room.
Taking an off road vehicle, she sat in the driver's seat.
"At least I don't have PTSD for off road vehicles, else it would be a shame." she said as she switched on the vehicle and drove out of the estate.
....
Arriving not far from the site,
she switched off the headlights.
Putting on her boot, she did not forget to put a pad-like material under her boot.
It not only helps in making sand not to stick to her shoe but also covers the track she would leave behind.
Tucking a short gun on the left side of her waist, she made sure it was loaded before tucking a dagger by her right.
She also brought some grenades and bombs.
She could see very clearly in the dark, so she did not need a night vision goggle.
Opening the car door, she walked towards the site.
"Such unusual energies." She said with a frown on her face.
"What does this mean." Sitting down crosslegged on the ground, she slowly spread out her consciousness.
"Hmmm... What is — this?!"
Touching the blue film that covered the entrance, she muttered to herself:
"A Barrier?! What kind of barrier is this?" She used her consciousness to touch it.
Ah!!!!!!
A piercing scream echoed in the night sky scaring the birds away.
"Such killing power."
Her breathing becoming rapid.
Her chest heaved. Staring at the barrier in horror.
"So that's what killed that snobby Appraiser." She said. Her breathing was already calm and her heaving chest stopped.
"According to those web novels, maybe it should be a killing formation."
She thought about how to bypass it but nothing came to her mind.
"I will just continue feeling it. I will not try to pass through it."
Despite saying that, it was less than simple when carrying it out.
She slowly felt the barrier. "It has the same kind of energy it gives off as my own but mine is a little bit different."
She thought about her to manipulate when something came to her mind.
It was something she had seen when watching one of those fantasy C-Dramas.
"I can wrap myself with my energy and try to manipulate the energy around the barrier to cloak me as well.
Might be strenuous, but it's better than getting killed."
She slowly carried out her thoughts. And started by experimenting with her finger, she noticed that it passed so smoothly without any obstacle.
Zosia stood up from where she had sat for more than an hour.
Dusting her clothes, she
stood up. Using power (Qi) to cover her body, she arrived at the barrier.
She slowly manipulated the energy in the barrier to cloak her figure.
"Tsk, I can already feel the strain." She said with a click of her tongue.
'I really am weak.' she thought.
Her experiment was a success, as she smoothly transitioned herself into a dim cave, whose only source of light was glowing stones.
彡༄𝑊𝑒𝑙𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑃𝑙𝑎𝑦𝑒𝑟༄ 彡
Zosia heard a foreign voice the moment she entered. The energy from the barrier was slowly receding.
[ 𝑆𝑒𝑒𝑚𝑠, 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑖 𝑎𝑚 𝑤𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑔.] The same foreign voice spoke and a figure appeared before her.
[ 𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑎 𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑦𝑒𝑟— 𝐻𝑚𝑚, 𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑖 𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑.]
Zosia still in shock, stared at the figure in front of her who was dressed in otherworldly white.
After her surprise, what came to her mind was: "Is he such a narcissist."
She was not wrong for asking that question.
The figure kept on looking at himself in the mirror that was floating in front of him and only looked at her once.
"So, what am I?" She asked, her voice very calm despite how tense she was feeling.
"Well, a trespasser obviously." He clapped his hand, making the mirror disappear, while the effect of his voice echoing disappeared.
Zosia raised an eyebrow at his response.
"How?" As a Realmrider, she isn't sure if she was a trespasser, but well, if she thinks about it, she is indeed an outsider.
" Well, you tricked the barrier to enter."He said pointing out the obvious .
Zosia secretly heaved a sigh of relief at his words.
"It isn't yet time for your world to enter the apocalypse, it's remaining three weeks. How did you discover this place?"
"It's on my land and mine! I wanted to dig out some gold but ended up killing people. Now, this place, is a famed ghost area."
"Hmm... Well, since you used your ability to get here, I would allow you to free me by going through the test.
Not everything is ready yet, so the tests are easier to pass."
"Free you?" She looked at him with confusion in her eyes.
"We are beings sent here to be like managers of the test.
This is a one time opportunity, so after you are done, I would be going back to where I came from."
"Still skeptical?" His raised eyebrow on his face made him look comical due to how sparse his eyebrows are.
"Not really, but anyways, Can you tip someone about maybe a few more places like this?" Her brightest smile appeared on her face.
"No."
The smile she had on her face was doused with cold water by his cold response.
After a little bantering with him by presenting her space bombs which he fell in love with, he took up the proposal and gave her two more points which have no administrator or manager.
"If the apocalypse, as you called it, happens. Rate the danger of this dungeon."
"SSS"
"Really?" The tone of her voice went a notch higher at his answer.
"Then the ones you gave me?"
"They are both S"
"Why don't they have someone like you there... I mean the manager thingy.."
"Because, people for the slot are not much, and those dungeons are among the ones I am overseeing.
Well, not really overseeing overseeing. Never mind.
And they are not one time dungeons."
After some small talks, it was time to attempt the test.
"I must say, thanks for keeping me company."
Zosia smiled and replied to him, "Same here. Friends?"
"Yes, would have added you but, you are not yet a player." He said with a shrug of his shoulders.
Zosia decided to carry out the test. Since he had tipped her of two more places, one for Dominic and one for the host.
'Tsk, now I even have him in mind.' she shook her head lightly.
"Alright, once I am out, would you still be here?." She asked as she stared at the figure that was becoming transparent.
"Let's see first "
........
Zosia rugged breath and torn clothes were evidence of her perilous journey.
At the background, the off road vehicle was overturned on the desert road with colorful snakes coiling around it.
"Phew! I thought he said it was easy." She said while running towards the bright blue light that seemed to pierce the sky.
"I hope this is the end checkpoint."
If not for my space talent, am sure I would be dead, sooner than I expected it.
'The place still has some unfinished things, yet it's already this dangerous.'
Her train of thought was paused by the attack of a giant snake that suddenly appeared.
Her already ragged breathing became rougher.
Using her space talent, she appeared on top of its tail.
If not for her space talent being an innate one, she was sure she would be dead by now.
The giant snake who noticed that it's prey had disappeared and reappeared at it's tail, opened it's wide mouth with the flickering tongue that held it's poisonous spit and spat at her.
Zosia dodged again but what followed next was a ball of fire.
"Well, at least this one is normal unlike the other one."
She kept on running, the closer she got to the blue light, the more weaker the snakes attack.
"It's just remaining small — i just need to run a little" Zosia encouraged herself, her weak body was already on the verge of breaking apart.
But the snake surely wasn't planning on letting go his prey.
It spat another fire but instead of red, it was green and the smell generated from it alone made her already weak body, weaker.
Throwing more greenades at the monster, she tried to put a distance between them and dodge the incoming fire.
'I have already used up all my space bomb' she lamented inwardly.
'If push come to shove, then I will enter my personal space.'
Looking at the snake's head that had its mouth open coming at her, she decided to try what she had in mind.
Her body was already drained but she couldn't die here, and definitely not in this test.
"Just ... one..... more!"
Her breathing painful .
Zosia turned to face the snake, she materialized space energy into a blade and slashed it at the snake while also directing some life energy into it.
The theory behind it is pretty simple but hard to execute, if the space blade doesn't kill it, at least it would scratch its surface and allow the life energy to perfuse the injury.
The life energy has already been tweaked by her, but as for the effect, she was not yet sure.
Zosia was already tired that she was on the verge of fainting.
Not waiting to see the effect, she just knew she had to keep running.
'Just 10 more meters -" her thought was interrupted by the scene.
The blade did not only slice the snake into two but the life energy imbued in it, blew the
monster to bits.
The residual energy sent her flying.
Raising her head to look at the sky that had falling snake meats, she frowned.
"If I don't get out of here soon, more dreadful monsters will appear." The moment she said that, she heard the sound of an eagle.
'Fuck! Another predator.'
Not turning back to look at the kind of monster it came from, she picked up some of the snake's meat and stuffed it inside her space while running.
"Luckily, the bile fell by my side. And the distance between me and the checkpoint has been lessened."
The moment she reached the blue light, Zosia felt herself loosing consciousness.
Her tired body slumped on the floor, illuminated by the blue light which sent sparks before disappearing with Zosia's body.
...
Opening her eyes, she was met with the sight of glowing stones.
"You are awake." Hearing the foreign voice which was also familiar, she tried to stand up.
"Congrats to you, you passed."
"Great. Thank you." Zosia said with a smile on her face as she patted her chest in relief.
"You should try calling out your system." He replied with a smile.
Zosia did as he said but couldn't. Apart from her chip, she couldn't sense any other thing.
Her chip also has so many notifications. 'I will check them out later.' she mused internally.
"I don't have that."
"Hmm, that's strange." He said with a thoughtful look.
" Well, you would have that when the apocalypse comes. Your reward may also come then." He replied with uncertainty in his tone.
"Then how do I add you?"
.......
Zosia looked at the mineral she thought was gold.
"Is this how an Impure mana stone looks like?" She muttered as she picked up a piece she had broken off.
Using the invisibility talisman given to her by Kael, after she had traded some knowledge with him.
Yup, his name is Kael.
The talisman not only allowed her to bypass walls but also allows her to pass through the ground.
Moving forward, she arrived at the centre of the mine.
"Wow" her mouth hung open as she stared at the stagnant lake before her.
She was surprised that there was even a cave here. After all, she had just passed though walls of
sand to get here.
Cancelling the talisman effect, she allowed her self to admire the wonders of the place.
The roof of the cave had stalactites that gave off faint lights.
With many of them
at the ceiling of the cave, it brightened it.
At the corners of the cave grew different times of herbs.
Beside the entire circumference of the lake was another type of herb.
On the walls of the cave, glowing gems lined some part of it, while some were embedded too deep into the wall.
She did not notice any murals on the wall and she did not feel any sense of danger.
"Will collect some herbs first." She brought out another set of gloves and digging tools.
After kitting herself she got to work.
"Hmmm, I wonder the depth of this lake." She threw a stone inside but didn't hear any sound.
The lake was not clear but milky while perfusing with a nice smell.
She threw an apple inside but it only made the surface of the lake ripple.
Changing her clothes to that of a diving suit with an oxygen tank plugged in, "I really am daring."
She cracked her knuckles and neck before diving into the lake.
Zosia opened her eyes but was met with another pair of eyes.
"Ahhhh!!!!"
"Ahhhh!!!" The owner of the other pair of eyes screamed as well.
"What the f*ck!" Zosia shook her head to clear her eyes but was still seeing the same thing.
"A carp, that can talk?" She said with confusion was written all over her face.
She looked below her to see if she could see the bottom of the lake, and yup.
The lake wasn't that deep.
She turned to face the carp. "What are you?"
"Blubble, blubble"
"Huh?"
'Oh, it's sentient but knows no words.
Then if I trick it into coming with me, it wouldn't be bad.' The more she thought about it, the more evil her smile became.
The carp did not understand why it suddenly felt a chill.
"Will you like to go with me?"
"???"
Zosia looked at the confusion on the Carp's face. She was not sure how she could tell it was confused.
Using her life energy, she tried to sense it's emotions as she does in plants.
The moment she injected the energy into it, she noticed that it became more relaxed.
"Would you like to go with me?" She asked again and tried to sense it's emotions.
She noticed it was happy and it suddenly became sad.
"Can't go?"
She sensed how it became more depressed.
"Tch, what can I do now?"
"Con...trac...t" The Carp said trying to form words.
"A contract?" Sensing the affirmation, she continued with her question.
"How to do that?"
Zosia watched curiously as the Carp nudged her hand.
"Ouch! What was that for-" Zosia was w
surprised as her blood turned into a droplets that was swallowed by the Carp.
"Wow! I can suddenly sense it's emotions."
She also smiled happily as she sensed the happiness radiating from it.
The Carp swam out of her hand to the bed of the lake. It used it's hand to nudge one of the glowing pebbles nestled at the bed.
"I should take this? Then I will take more."
After taking all of it, she also took the carp into her space.
Walking far away from the stream in her space, she used her authority of the space to dig a little bit deep of the land far from the house she had installed there.
She appeared back in the cave, then used a huge bucket to scoop large amount of water.
Pouring the water in the place she had dug, she poured the pebble inside with the Carp as well.
"What do you eat?"
"Anything?" She asked again.
Well, since she did not see the apple she had thrown inside, it was safe for her to assume it
ate anything.
Zosia used a tray to bring lots of fruit from her warehouse to the lake.
"I wonder if you can eat this?" She said while giving it the apple.
She was surprised as not only did it eat the apple but it also opened it's mouth to form a small typhoon, swallowing everything into its stomach.
Looking at the bulging stomach, she was speechless.
"I don't think you would be hungry anytime soon. I better get you fish food as well." she muttered
"I will come to check up on you every day." She bid goodbye to the Carp.
Reappearing back at the cave, she took some gems and those glowing stones.
"I' m just starting my journey to be a hoarder."
Looking at the stalactites, she was not sure if
she could get a piece of it.
"Well, time to go anyway." She reactivated the talisman and arrived back to the surface.
"Wow, it's morning already."
She looked at the sky that seemed to be suggesting it was 6 O' Clock.
Bringing out another off-road vehicle, she entered it and drove back to her estate.
On the road she thought about many things.
"It seems like some people are also aware of this.
The person might either be a reincarnator or something like that."
"I would write this in that diary to also warn the host of this."
"This world sure is different." She muttered under her breath.
....
Arriving at her house, she immediately entered her room. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Removing her clothes, she put them in the laundry basket.
Entering the bathroom, she turned on the tap and allowed the water to wash away her fatigue.
She had checked the time and it is still 6 am, which means, she could still go to work, but she would go late.
"Oh right! I told the chip to start recording before I got there."
"Stop recording and sort out all information into necessary and unnecessary.
When I wake up, I will look at everything."
After a while, she left the bathroom. Taking her phone, she called in late.
"Now, I can sleep in peace." She wore her nightwear and immediately jumped on the bed.
Zosia opened the notification screen. She was dazzled by the amount of notifications she got.
Scrolling down to when she left the house, she opened the first notification.

Zosia whistled after going through the notifications.
After reading the descriptions attached to them, she was happy, especially after reading the third and last notifications.
She left the notification panel. Drawing the side panel, she clicked on the library.
Admiring how organized the information was arranged.
Anything she thought of appeared, the little she was aware of even expanded.
She suddenly noticed some information she was unaware of.
Even when she was talking to Kael, he hadn't mentioned something like that.
"So this is what it meant by, it has come in contact with higher grade information (knowledge.)"
'I would need to make out time for that.'
Zosia decided to sleep first, tomorrow she would work on all the information she needs to work on and write them down for both the original host and Dominic.
She also needs to bring out time to help Dominic conquer one of the dungeons.
She wrote down all her plans and timed them to avoid forgetting.
"Yawn! Time to sleep"
