Munchkin Disciple Wants to Stop Being Obsessed Over

“I asked you first. Answer.”
“I’m… Kamel.”
“Not your name, your identity.”
“…?”
I tilted my head and thought to myself. That’s what I wanted to ask.
‘Who on earth is she?’
The power to take down high-level demonic beasts in a single breath.
Superior appearance that wouldn’t lose even compared to heroines renowned for their beauty, to the point where people joked the game survived on pretty female characters.
No matter how much I rummaged through my memories, I couldn’t figure it out. Was there such a character in the game?
‘No, there wasn’t.’
I’m certain. Considering that I, who could recite the names and appearances of the game’s protagonist Fran, all the major characters, and even insignificant background supporting characters, have never seen this person before.
“You, what are you doing alive by yourself? And why did you kill that one?”
The woman asked, pointing with her chin to the remains of the Chaos Church believer who had taken his own life.
“I don’t know. And I didn’t kill that person.”
“You expect me to believe that?”
“It’s true…”
When I answered, this time the woman tilted her head and remained silent for a moment.
I was equally confused.
Because I also didn’t know what kind of person the original owner of this body I possessed was.
Despite playing the game for so long, “Kamel” was a name I’d never heard before, and the surname “Hyacinths” was equally unfamiliar.
“By the way, shouldn’t we…”
“…?”
“Shouldn’t we escape first?”
While pondering, I noticed demonic beasts approaching within arm’s reach, so I cautiously suggested to her.
“Stay right here. Don’t think about running away.”
Only then checking behind her, the woman spoke and extended her right hand toward me.
“No…”
I was going to firmly insist that we should run away.
But the moment a small magic circle formed on her palm, my surroundings were encased in a translucent barrier, and my right to speak disappeared.
“KUOOO!”
“KRAAAGH!”
Gulp, I swallowed dry saliva involuntarily. That’s how fierce the momentum of the approaching demonic beasts was.
‘Is she planning to face them alone?’
Seeing that she had drawn another sword and was now holding one in each hand, it seemed that was indeed her plan.
No way. With that delicate body that looked like it would break with a single hit, she’s going to face all those high-level demonic beasts…?
“Huh?”
Just as I was thinking this, she leaped toward the demonic beasts at an unbelievable speed and swung the sword in her right hand.
-SHWAAACK!
Following the swing of her sword, a blue line as deep as her dark eyes was drawn large.
“…!”
From the drawn line, an ice-cold blue flash burst forth and flowed out.
My vision flickered, and a wind as cold as ice blew through.
“…”
So this body had long hair.
As I struggled to open my eyes, raven-black long hair was roughly fluttering, obscuring my vision.
“Wow…”
While pushing the annoying bangs to the side, my mouth fell open.
For good reason. All the demonic beasts that had been in the path of the blue line were either sliced or frozen solid.
-WHOOSH.
While I couldn’t keep my mouth closed, this time I saw flames soaring from one corner of my vision.
“Whoa…”
The source of the flames rising with enough intensity to devour the world was the sword held in the woman’s left hand.

She rotated with an elegant curved movement and drew a red line with the sword in her left hand.
-SHWAAACK!
From there, a blood-colored flash burst forth and a massive fire demon began to overflow.
The flames soon became a fire tornado shooting up into the sky, and the woman ignored this as she continued to swing her sword.
“Amazing…!”
Watching her made my entire body tremble with excitement.
The spectacle of blue and red flashes bursting incessantly.
Ice and fire beautifully adorning the air.
Fluid swordsmanship, delicate and elegant movements.
The scene the woman was creating was so exquisite and wondrous it made me dizzy, appearing almost like a painting.

-CLICK.
Just as I couldn’t help but admire, her swords that had been flying around as if they would never stop were sheathed in the scabbards at her waist.
“There’s still…!”
I was about to shout that there were still remaining demonic beasts.
But seeing the lines inscribed on their bodies, I stopped my words and had to open my mouth wide again.
-SHWAAACK!
A sound that was quiet yet sharply resonating.
This time, a pure white light began to envelop the world.
Once more, my vision flickered.

“So…”
The woman who introduced herself as Daphne sighed and continued speaking.
“You woke up to find yourself being dragged away. You don’t remember anything before that except your name and age. And the one controlling those demonic beasts took his own life. Is that right?”
“Yes.”
“And you want me to believe that?”
Despite my passionate explanation.
Daphne still wore an expression of disbelief.
“If you’re lying, you’ll have to be prepared for the consequences.”
She stared intently into my eyes and asked.
Daphne’s blue eyes were gradually turning golden.
Some kind of mental skill? It feels like bugs are crawling all over my body.
“…”
How much time had passed? The strange feeling gradually subsided, and Daphne tilted her head with a peculiar expression.
“What should I do with you?”
“Pardon?”
“I’m wondering. Should I kill you or not?”
“Why me?”
“Because…”
Tap, tap. Daphne touched the area around my heart with her finger and continued.
“You may not know, but there’s a very wicked energy seeping in here.”
Could she be talking about my trait?
“If I let you go like this, you will cause a great calamity upon the world, regardless of your will.”
Seems I’m right. I don’t know how she knows, but this is quite troublesome.
‘Based on the circumstances, the Chaos Church was trying to use this body to contain the Seven Deadly Sins.’
The Seven Deadly Sins are a great calamity capable of easily destroying an entire kingdom.
From Daphne’s perspective, it would be a wise choice to kill this body that could potentially become the Seven Deadly Sins.

In other words, I am worth killing.

‘Why me?’

Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m willing to die.
Having finished my contemplation and reached a conclusion, I looked at her and opened my mouth.
“I have no intention of doing that.”
“I’m sorry, but…”
As she was about to place her hand on her scabbard, I grabbed that hand and shook my head.
“That’s not for you to decide.”
“Then perhaps Daphne can decide.”
“…?”
“Please take me in. So I won’t cause a calamity.”
Did she become interested in my articulate speech? Or did she feel animosity?
Daphne placed her hands on her waist and began to glare at me.
“I understand that my body is different from others. The reason I didn’t die at their hands must be because of that.”
“Continue.”
“But… as I said before, I have no intention of causing a calamity. Quite the opposite, in fact.”
“That remains to be seen.”
“Didn’t you confirm earlier that my words are not lies?”
“Hmm…”
A strange light shines in Daphne’s eyes.
“I don’t know what kind of person you are, but I think you would know this one thing.”
“What?”
“If you swing that sword now, it would be nothing more than a meaningless act of murder.”
“That’s true. But wouldn’t it also remain a fact that I prevented a calamity in advance?”
Smirking, she gave a shallow laugh, then bent her knees and brought her face close to mine as she asked back.
“Yes. But if there’s a way to prevent the calamity without killing this innocent child, shouldn’t we take that path?”
“How?”
“Take me with you. And watch over me so I don’t cause a calamity. Wouldn’t that be good for both of us?”
“What’s good about it for me?”
Daphne tilted her head and asked.
“First, by taking me with you, Daphne won’t have to feel the guilt of killing a young child.”
“Guilt… I’m not sure I have such a thing.”
A somewhat frightening statement came from her lips, but I continued without showing my reaction.
“Second, if Daphne kills me here, they won’t hesitate to create another being like me. I don’t know how important I am to them, but.”
“That’s not an easy task.”
She answered while matching my gaze. Her pupils shining with interest.
“Even if it’s not easy, do you think they would give up easily after losing me as an option?”
“I wonder.”
“If there are no options, humans tend to create them. But what if there’s an option to recover something they’ve worked hard to create?”
“Hmm…”
When I asked while deliberately making my eyes shine, Daphne only groaned without answering.
“They won’t choose the difficult path unnecessarily.”
“Continue.”
“Third, by continuing to watch over me, Daphne can continue to prevent the calamity.”
“What do you mean?”
“Those people. They were trying to use me for something, right? That means they’ll target me again someday, if not today. But what if I stay by Daphne’s side?”
When I asked my final question, Daphne answered with a strange expression.
“They won’t be able to take you.”
“Yes. Exactly. In that case, Daphne will continue to prevent the calamity.”
“You… said you’re 10 years old?”
Despite my passionate speech, Daphne asked an irrelevant question and began to stare at me intently.
“Yes.”
“Interesting.”
How long did we exchange glances?
She crossed her arms and smirked.
That smile was quite destructive, and I reflexively lowered my head and thought.
‘I must follow her no matter what.’
This was the conclusion I reached after much deliberation.
Having possessed a child’s body, I currently have nothing.
I naturally don’t know how to return to reality, and to make matters worse, I’m being targeted by Chaos Church believers.
In such a situation, this woman appeared.
A woman with enough power to single-handedly wipe out high-level demonic beasts in one breath.
If I’m taken in by such a Daphne, at least I won’t be dragged away by Chaos Church believers.
‘It would be even better if I could learn swordsmanship or magic.’
I’m not sure what kind of person this woman Daphne is, but one thing is certain.
I can say definitively that in over 10,000 hours of gameplay, I’ve never seen a character this strong.
If I could learn swordsmanship and magic from such a person?
Not only would I be able to protect myself, but if I became stronger than the main characters in the game, I might even lead a better life than in reality.
“So…”
Having gained certainty, I smiled at her and clearly conveyed my will.
“Please spare my life.”
It might seem a bit cowardly, but I had no choice.
I need to survive somehow before I can think about what comes next.
“You said your name was Kamel, right?”
I feel a soft touch on my chin, and it slowly begins to lift.
“Hmm…”
Suddenly feeling the woman’s breath. My head naturally tried to drop, but my captured face couldn’t move.
“…”
Daphne kept her face close and began to carefully observe my face, turning it this way and that.
“Mmm…”
My vision, which had been obscured by black lines, brightens. Daphne has brushed aside my messy bangs with her other hand.
“Black hair and red eyes. Even trying to escape from a predetermined fate…”
“…?”
“You resemble him so much. Is this really a coincidence?”
What is she saying? Daphne’s eye corners curved like crescent moons as she muttered incomprehensible words.
“Fascinating.”
She released my chin and stood up.
Her eyes were gleaming with emotions difficult to read.
“You want to live?”
“Yes.”
“Then let’s go for now.”
Daphne extended her hand to me, and I reflexively took it.
Then a massive magic circle began to form beneath our feet, emitting a pure white light.
-FWOOSH.
Before long, we were enveloped in a pillar of light.
‘…Huh?’
An unfamiliar sound. Inverting vision.
Could this be… that magic?

Teleport, a 9th circle magic that only existed in the setting but no one had been able to implement.
As I was thinking this, a familiar notification arrived.
