《My Magical System 》Chapter 218: Laugh
Advertisement
"She's pretty and adorable… like her brother."
Zennie smiled warmly and said her thoughts after Eman introduced his sister. She said the last words in an inaudible voice. Her face wasn't thick enough to voice it out. She was unaware that her face was flushed with redness. But she meant what she meant.
However, someone with acute hearing like Eman heard it. Though he pretended he didn't. Although he helped them, he wasn't as kind as they thought. He is, after all, a killer who took many human lives already after coming to this world which is very contrary to his old self. Though he did all the killing with justification.
He had no idea if there were gods or goddesses governing this world. As a reincarnate, he should have met one of them like in the reincarnation novels he read on one of the most popular online platforms.
In addition, he was thrown in the middle of the battle right on the bat. He had to adjust quickly and accept what needed to be accepted. It racked his brain though.
Regardless, since Zennie's carriage was broken and it just so happened that their carriage was big enough to accommodate six people, he invited them to come along with them. Especially when he learned that both of them were heading to the same destination.
Once again, it wasn't because of goodwill. It just happened that he was present. Also, it must be a good fate meeting these people. With this train of thought, Eman decided to help a little bit. It didn't hurt anyone to help though. Especially that there was no hostility among them.
Also, he felt bad for these people if another wave of beasts attacked them. After going into trouble saving them, he could not let his effort be gone to waste.

Also, Eina was tugging the hem of his sleeve. He understood that she wanted to help them. This put a warm smile on his face. At least his sister was a kind-hearted person.
He could be a cold killer but his sister should be the exact opposite of him. If ever something out of hand would come out, he wanted to be reminded that he had a kind little sister.
And yes, he agreed to Zennie's words that his sister was adorable.
After receiving Zennie's compliment, "T-Thank you, Miss Zennie," Eina shyly said her thanks for the kind words. Zennie nodded with a warm smile.
Sitting in front of them were Rossbert, the servant Miss Liz, and then Zennie.
The guards were tagging along with horses. The broken carriage, he stored it inside his domain.
However, while Zennie and Eman were conversing, throwing questions towards each other, Rossbert was in his own thoughts.
He wondered how Eman was able to store that size of objects inside a spatial ring. Sneaking a glance at the spatial ring on his finger, it wasn't the highest grade.
The highest grade spatial ring had a gleaming stone at the center of the ring. The ring on Eman only had a dull stone in it like most of theirs.
Rossbert recalled that only the highest grade spatial ring could afford to store such an object as big as the carriage. Also, he even produced three horses for the guards to ride in tandem.
When he pointed it out to him a while ago, Eman just said a vague reply.
(Uh, it's my interdimensional space, Mr. Rossbert.) Rossbert while recalling Eman's reply to him.
He could not delve deeper into the topic as the young man even went to trouble in helping them. Really, they were grateful to him. In addition to that, he owes his life to this young man. Something welled up from within Rossbert upon thinking that he was saved by him.

"Eman, if some unexpected event befalls you, don't feel reluctant to seek my help! Also, just call me big brother Rossbert from now on."
He announced, interjecting in Eman and Zennie's conversations while pumping his fist against his chest.
Eman and Zennie were slightly stunned at the sudden, but soon Zennie chuckled while Eman had a light smile on his face. Eina, on the other hand, had her mouth formed like the letter 'o'. In her mind, 'my brother is so awesome!' She admired her brother even more. Gaining someone's favor wasn't an everyday occurrence. It was a rare occasion especially when the related person was mainly a stranger.
However, before Eman could reply.
"Ahem!"
Zennie's servant, Miss Liz, voluntarily coughed.
"Mr. Rossbert, I think it's more appropriate to call you uncle than big brother. Young master Eman, don't give this man any more consent…" she said while sending an eye to Rossbert who was right beside her. Rossbert already had dead eyes and a troubled face.
Miss Liz continued saying, "Although he looked like 30, his actual age is 40."
Eman was not sure if it was only his imagination but he heard a choking sound from Rossbert. Also, there seemed an ascending soul going out from Rossbert's mouth.
"Pft!"
Everyone was stunned when a chuckle escaped from his usual nonchalant countenance. Then it was followed by laughs.
"Haha-haha!"
Tears were forming at the corner of his eyes. "Sorry, sorry, it's just, I didn't expect that," He said while brushing off the tears. Even Eina did not expect to hear her brother's laugh. It also put a tear on her eyes. It was the first time she heard it. Her brother always had a serious face before. Then after coming back from the subjugation mission, there was only a nonchalant face on him. He seemed like someone who ascended from a somber person to a statue.
So after hearing his laugh and the expression on his face just now, a tear fell from her round beautiful eyes.
At Least her brother was actually a human. She always worried about it in secret.
Even Eman wondered when was the last time he laughed honestly. He already forgot. Maybe before he was framed. And before Marie Belle went abroad. It was a long time ago now.

This story was posted on RR in its entirety before being removed. Magnus Cromwell kills for a living. He’s organized, professional, efficient. Like a machine. But when his family’s life is on the line? That’s something else. That calls for the kind of warm-blooded vengeance that scorches earth and summons tungsten rods from space, leaves a whole lot of melted flesh, and no one to tell the tale. It should've been a blue milk run. As by-the-book as it gets. With his sister Nina out safe and the opposition decimated by hypersonic gunfire, MC wondered where they got the guts to even try. Then something hits him. Lays him out cold, and leaves him waking up to a fantasyland with nothing but his armor and a half-written note to guide him. It's a strange place where even stranger predators eye him for their next meal. Where his life’s on a timer, and where the darkest horrors haunt his dreams, painting visions of death. There's no right day to mess with Magnus Cromwell. But the universe sure managed to pick the absolute worst one. --- - MC is stone-cold, strong(OP), and gets even stronger, but he'll still face his fair share of challenges, both internal and external. - LitRPG-lite. No stats and an unconventional system. Expect abilities and progressions, but there will only ever be a handful of them. - Science Fiction and Fantasy collide, with a touch of mystery, Lovecraft, and body horror. - Professionally painted art scenes! - This series is finished.
