Chapter 84. Step By Step Guide To Possess Other's Body.
Inside the hospital, Elisa still felt a bit scared by the door that suddenly opened and closed on its own. The sound that came out of nowhere definitely didn't help her to calm down.
After she heard the sound introduced himself as something ridiculous like the god of another world. Elisa looked around the room before focusing on the space next to her hospital bed.
Although she wasn't sure, she guessed the sound she heard came from that location.
While staring in that direction, Elisa tried to calm down, "Is this some sort of prank? Is there some kind of recording or hidden speaker there?"
She moved from her bed and searched that area, but failed to find anything.
When she moved to the bed to sit, the voice appeared once more from a different space, "What are you looking for?"
Elisa turned her head and searched in the direction she heard the sound from but still found nothing.
She suddenly heard a faint chuckle and turned her head. But when she saw nothing, Elisa started to shake her mother who had gotten drunk. "Mom, there's a ghost in the hospital!"
Her mom woke up from all that shaking and asked while rubbing her eyes, "What's wrong?"
"There's a ghost!!!" Elisa half screamed as she trembled.
After Elisa's mother calmed her down, Cedric finally removed his invisibility right in front of both of them. "Hello there, I apologize for scaring you."
"Ahhhh!!!" Seeing a man suddenly appear in front of them, the mother-daughter pair looked at Cedric in shock and screamed.
"Who are you? When did you enter?!"
"Let me reintroduce myself. I am the creator of another world and wished to send that girl over there to reincarnate in my world." After Cedric introduced himself, the room fell into silence.
To stop the awkward feeling, Cedric lightly coughed, "Ahem, may I ask your name and what kind of disease you have?"
"You can call me Elisa." Although she felt suspicious. Elisa wasn't sure why, but she still replied to the unknown man in front of him. "I have lung cancer. The extremely serious kind that needs me to stay in the hospital most of the time."
Then she asked, "You have said you wanted to send me to reincarnate into your world. Let's just assume you are really a god and I choose to accept your offer. Can you explain more about this reincarnation business?"
Cedric smiled, "I will make you reincarnate as elves with at least two hundred years lifespan. Furthermore, I'll guarantee that the body you reincarnated into will be healthy!"
"Why do you need me to reincarnate into your world?" Elisa asked another crucial question she thought of. To be honest she kinda half believed the guy in front of her. Especially since he has the ability to turn invisible.
"I need you to support the elven race in my world as they have met with difficulties," Cedric answered while hiding some truth like how the difficulty is something he caused himself.
"Why can't you do it yourself? You said you're a god!" Elisa asked in suspicion.
"Well, being a god actually made me unable to be of much help because I am too strong and any move might destroy the world." Cedric shrugged.
While Elisa and Cedric conversed. On the side, Elisa's mother rubbed her temple, "Maybe I should stop drinking alcohol. I think I am still drunk right now."
Ignoring her mother who was busy rubbing her temple while drinking some water, Elisa asked Cedric another question, "What kind of world is the place you plan to reincarnate me into?"
"It's a world of magic where several races exist. In terms of civilization, it should be equal to the middle Bronze Age." Cedric added, "Furthermore, if you accept my deal, I'll grant you one cheat. You can ask for any power that's within my capability."
Cedric added the extra cheat as a temptation to make the girl go into his world. After all, having a willing hero is much better than an unwilling one.
At this time, Elisa's mother finally came to her senses and joined the conversation, "I am not sure what's going on, but I got the gist of it."
"May I ask a question?"
Cedric nodded.
"You said you're a god. So, can't you please help her without sending her to another world?" Elisa's mother asked.
"No can do. On Earth, my power is greatly weakened." Cedric replied with a half-lie. After all, it's indeed true that his power has been sealed on earth. It's just he still has the power to save her through Divine Items.
Elisa and her mother looked at each other. "To be honest I am extremely tempted by the offer. But, may I know how you're going to send me to another world? Is it through magic? Can you show us the magic that'll make us believe you? Also, why me?"
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Cedric smiled, "It must be you because you're the most talented humans I have seen. Once you enter my world where magic exists, your strength will advance at incredible speed."
"As for how I am going to send you there, I will use an item to pull your soul and send it to the elven body I've prepared in my world."
"What will happen to my body?" Elisa asked in concern.
Cedric recalled the details about the Portable Reincarnation Magic Array and Portable Possession Magic Array before answering Elisa, "Your body will either die or enter a comatose state depending on your will."
Ellisa fell into thought after she heard it, "I agree. But, can I choose my cheat now?"
Cedric nodded, "Okay. You can tell me your wish. As long as it's within my capability, I'll grant you any power or item as your cheat."
"Then, I want my mom to join me and reincarnate as an elf!" Elisa said while pointing at her mother.
When Cedric saw it, he tried his best to stop his mouth from twitching.
His mind is cursing his attempt to show off by letting Elisa choose her cheat.
Initially, he only planned to spend 200 GP on an item that'll be Elisa's cheat. But, if he planned to send her mother, Cedric would need to spend at least 1.000 GP.
That doesn't include the cost of purchasing Divine Items!
When she didn't get any reply, Elisa looked at Cedric with suspicion, "What? Can't you do it? But you can send me to another world. There's no reason you can't send my mother too right?"
Cedric gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, 'Calm down, me. It's just 1.000 GP. I can gain it back after 200 years at most. Compared to 1.000 GP, gaining Elisa's trust and cooperation should've been worth more. Probably.'
With a smile, Cedric nodded, "Alright. But are you sure you want your mother as your cheat when you live in another world?"
"Yes!" Elisa nodded. "You said the world is equal to the middle Bronze Age. My mother is a professor of bioengineering at a nearby university. With her help, I believe it'll be easier for me to survive.
"What about your dad?" Cedric became a bit curious.
"He has died," Elisa answered casually.
"My condolences." He felt a bit awkward after asking that question. So, Cedric placed his attention on whether to purchase a Portable Possession Magic Array or a Portable Reincarnation Magic Array.
After contemplating the gain and loss, he finally decided to use Portable Possession Magic Array.
He fears that if he used the Portable Reincarnation Magic Array, the situation in the elf's territory might go out of control during the time it takes for Elisa to grow up.
If Elisa got killed at that time, he'd face a bloody loss. The kind that will make him cry himself to sleep every day for a whole year.
After Cedric purchased the Portable Possession Magic Array, the System suddenly said something.
[Before you activated the Portable Reincarnation Magic Array, the System wanted to remind you in case you misunderstood something.]
[Don't forget to purchase a Drawing Crayon For Interdimensional Travel, because you'll also need a method to send the soul to your world and that crayon is the cheapest means.]
"Huh?" Cedric paused and realized what the System meant. 'I need to make a teleportation array to send the soul to my world? I thought that function was included in the magic array!'
[You wish! Damn pauper.]
Cedric can only sigh and spent another 10 GP to purchase a Drawing Crayon For Interdimensional Travel.
With the crayon at hand, Cedric drew the teleportation magic circle while the mother daughter pair is watching him with interest.
Once Cedric finished drawing the teleportation circle, it shone before turning invisible.
"What the fuck?" Elisa's mother gasped while opening her eyes wide. "Am I still drunk?"
Cedric looked at Elisa's mother and said, "Stay where you're, and don't step into the magic circle. Otherwise, you'll be transported with your body and won't be reincarnated as an elf with a long lifespan."
With most of the preparation ready, Cedric asked the System, 'Hey, should I prepare a body for her first, or should I use the Portable Possession Magic Array first?'
[In your current situation, the System recommended you use the Portable Possession Magic Array on Elisa before looking for a suitable body for her to possess in the world. The Portable Possession Magic Array has a temporary soul storage function that can last for a whole month. So, you don't need to worry about her soul dissipating.]
[By the way, it also has something like a remote control function that will allow you to control the movement of Elisa's soul with your mental power.]
Before Cedric can ask how to do it, The System has already continued,
[You simply need to connect Elisa's soul with the octahedron-shaped Portable Possession Magic Array. Then, you'll be able to control her soul's movement with your mental power by using the octahedron crystal as a remote control.]
Cedric nodded and walked toward Elisa, "I'll start the procedure."
He used his mental power and activated the Portable Possession Magic Array in his hand.
After controlling the Portable Possession Magic Array to target Elisa. She closed her eyes as if losing consciousness.
While Elisa's mother is busy supporting her body, Cedric can feel her body slowly dying.
Meanwhile, Cedric felt a weird sensation and activated his Divine Sight.
The moment he activated it, Cedric could see what he assumed as Elisa's soul had entered the octahedron crystal that was previously the Portable Possession Magic Array.
She didn't stay inside the Portable Possession Magic Array for long. After three seconds, Elisa's soul left the crystal. But now there's an extra glowing light on it that's connected to the octahedron crystal.
With everything ready, Cedric closed his eyes and searched for a suitable body for Elisa to possess.
Thanks to the 1:3652.5 time dilation effect. One second on Earth is equal to more than one hour in the Crystal Cube world.
In twenty-seven minutes, Cedric has already found a suitable body for Elisa.
It's the body of a young recently dead female elf. She has been heavily injured while escaping from her village that's being attacked by demons. Although she has escaped far away, the injury made her lose her life before meeting other elves.
With a suitable target, Cedric immediately gets into work.
First, he purchased a healing item called Rebirth Pill.
[Level 1 Consumable Divine Item, Rebirth Pill
Cost: 10 GP
Details: Heal all physical injuries on Level 1 users or below. Slightly heals Level 2 users, and ineffective for users at Level 3 or above. Unable to heal damage from most Level 2 attacks and above. Contains extremely strong potency that will grant the user extra vitality that increase regeneration speed and allow the user to not drink nor eat for the next week.]
With the Rebirth Pill in his hand, Cedric threw it to the dead elf girl.
Although sending people from one world to another requires help from items like the teleportation circle. But, Cedric has asked the System and it said sending Divine Items he purchased to his world doesn't require something like that.
He can simply use the Divine Space as a springboard and send it to the Crystal Cube World.
He initially targeted the girl's mouth. But the pill slightly missed and simply touched the elf girl's wound.
Luckily there's no mention that the pill needs to be taken orally.
When the pill came into contact with the elf girl's wound, it quickly melted and spread its medicinal effect on every part of the girl's body.
If not for the trace of blood and her damaged clothing, no one would've thought the girl had just died from serious injuries.
