Crash-landed On An Island With Nine Beauties novel Chapter 103

"I saw him just now."

Damien looked around him, as though the person had leapt into the ocean. There was no splash made. And the interval between opening his eyes and jumping on his feet was scarcely two seconds. But there was no one in sight.

He ran away from that place to where he thought the fellow could had run to. He ran past the other side of the cave. There was nothing to look for in the other open frozen area of the island. Therefore the only reasonable chance was to go into the cave.

He rushed inside the cave. To his utmost dismay, there was a man draped in the robe of a samurai. A blue robe with a long red cape which reached to the end of his soles.

Damien swept his palm over his face to be sure that he wasn't caught up in a sort of trance. Even though he knew that he had never sleep-walked in his entire life, yet he couldn't help but blink several times. When he pinched his cheek and realized that it hurts so badly, he realized that he was in right mind.

"Who are you?"

He hadn't chosen to ask that question. His lips had moved of their own accord. Wasn't that the right question to ask?

He took several steps forward. He had conflicted thoughts. There were a lot of questions that he wanted to ask but he couldn't bring himself to making words out of them. How could he when the fellow hadn't answered the first question.

Suddenly, a realization hit him. He thought of that as the only option he had. The only reasonable thing he could.

IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE, I CAN ZOOM TO HIM AND GRAB HIM FROM BEHIND. SINCE HE THINKS HE CAN --

"Don't think of it."

The thick and eerie voice of the man came. Not only was Damien stunned and startled, the strange voice of the man sent shrills down his spines. So creepy. Leaving him bathed in goosebumps.

HOW THE FUCK DID HE KNOW WHAT I WAS ABOUT TO DO?

The more he tried to think of it, the clueless he was. The reluctant he was to admit it.

BULLSHIT, HE'S ONLY PLAYING A GAME.

Damien zoomed at once towards the man but he hugged the wind. The man was no longer there.

"Huh, where did he go? Did he disappear just now?"

"You're quite the obstinate one, aren't you."

A voice came from behind him again. Damien spun around. The man was standing at the mouth of the cave. His back to Damien.

"You've made it quite difficult for us to get along."

The man took gentle steps out of the cave.

"Till we meet again."

He walked away.

"Hey... wait."

Damien zoomed to catch up with the man but he couldn't find him anymore.

"Hey, come out. Where are you?"

He zoomed around like he was having a show.

"Okay, I won't push my luck. You have my words. Just come out and let's have a talk. Who are you and how do you know me?"

But it seemed only as though Damien was talking to himself. He got no response whatsoever. He kept on zooming to and fro, round the cave, yet found nothing. It was becoming really tiring but he didn't want to give up.

"Could it be? Did he leave already? For real?"

He stopped at the mouth of the cave. He was beginning to relate with the realization of what happened.

"But who is he? What does he want from me?"

He pursed his lips. He was really confused and was too slow to hide it.

"Where did he come from?"

"By any means, does he have anything to do with the system. He couldn't possibly be the owner of this frozen island. If he was, he would had told me to leave at once."

He shook his head. So it seemed, he wasn't getting enough of the info he needed.

"How did he know that I was going to zoom to him? How did he figure that out? Is this some sort of side effect that comes with the system?"

He heaved a heavy sigh. He wasn't sure of what to think anymore. Neither did he pretend as though he had it figured out. He would be making a fool of himself. That was a truth which was seated right before his eyes.

"Maybe the system could help."

He decided to flip the system window out. That was the only thing he could think of. The only option he could resort to.

He started scrolling through, no matter how hard and fast he did scroll he didn't see anything useful. The system would finally bring him to the tier two's question and answer attributions.

"This useless system! Always useless whenever you need help the most."

He decided to take out his anger on the system, but there was little he could do. All he could do was bicker and shout, he couldn't possibly fight the system huh?

"Fuck this. My head aches."

He gave up on trying to push his luck. After all, no matter how hard he thought of it he couldn't arrive at anything helpful. He would be dumb not to embrace the reality.

He heaved a heavy sigh again and tilted his neck to look inside the cave again.

"This dumb system."

A part of him really expected the man to pop out of the walls or air. Yea, that was how desperate he was. And the fact was that he would remain restless until he get to the bottom of this. Until he figure out who the fuck the intruder was.

"Bastard... bastard... crazy bastard... fucking jerk..."
