Chapter 116
The name “Felia of Obsession” comes as quite a surprise to many players. Based on the name alone, most would expect her to be some kind of stalker of her mentor, but the reality is different. This is because she sees herself as incomplete and believes she is fake, which fuels her obsession with becoming “real.” However, she has no desire to become the living Felia. To her, that would just be imitation, a path leading to being fake again.
This is evident in her behavior as well. She constantly does things the real Felia would never have done. She doesn’t obsess over her mentor, the archmage, and speaks in a casual tone that the real Felia would have never used. Even sitting in front of me, stuffing herself with expensive wine and rare delicacies—this is something the real Felia would have never done. So, what is her obsession with becoming “real”? For her, it means to be reborn. To open her eyes to the world for the first time, to be given a new name, and to live a life where she forms her own beliefs in an unfamiliar environment. There is no room for anything fake in that. It would be the life of a true human being.
However, as with all villainous ends, Felia will ultimately fail. Her fate was sealed by Bellen, who sensed something was amiss. But why is she sitting before me, enjoying dessert, knowing what awaits her?

On the club’s floor, Bellen grasped her sword with a slight hiccup. She had heard everything through the undead Hamendal. Staring at the barrier, she wondered if this would really be okay.
“If I destroy this, what happens to them?”
“Professor Rockefeller says it’s fine. Even if it breaks, it will only be temporary, and it will automatically restore itself…”
In that case, Bellen felt reassured. She signaled the students nearby to step back and ignited flames on her blade.
Fwoosh!
