Chapter 190: Multiple Thoughts
The blank space he saw immediately filled Cha Eui-jae with a sudden surge of anxiety.
What is the purpose of a person without a designated role? Is it okay to even remain in this place? Unknowingly, Cha Eui-jae tightened his grip on Lee Sa-young, who let out a small groan. Realizing what he had done, Cha Eui-jae quickly loosened his hold and pulled his hands away. At the same time, the sparks flickering around Lee Sa-young disappeared.
"Oh, sorry. Are you okay?"
Lee Sa-young straightened his hunched body and brushed his shoulders off. With a tone of irritation, he asked, "Is this really a dream?"
"What are you talking about?"
"The system has some kind of coercive power. I just got penalized for breaking a rule... and the sensations are so vivid."
Now that he mentioned it, it was strange. Could a system interfere with a human's dream? Of course, Yoon Ga-eul had once seen fragments of a ruined world in her dreams, but she could only observe— it wasn't possible to interfere with that world. A system that imposes force and physical power like this...
"This does feel more like a dungeon, considering what just happened."
Cha Eui-jae rubbed the back of his neck.
"I saw memories from a previous world, just like Ga-eul did. So I naturally assumed this was just another dream."
"But there was never a situation where physical force was used, right?"
"Yeah. I just watched it, like I was at the movies."
