Chapter 83. This Is Why I Hate My System

Chapter 83: 83. This Is Why I Hate My System

Without bothering to knock, I shot inside Ivy’s house and found her sitting in the living room with my mother.

Their heads snapped toward me as I stood there, panting for breath.

"Where’s Anna?" I blurted, skipping any form of greeting. That could wait.

Ivy stood up immediately. "In her room. Come this way."

She led me upstairs, my mother following closely behind. The moment Ivy opened the door, a chill ran down my spine. The air inside felt thick—almost suffocating—like the miasma from the demon realm.

Anna lay on the bed, wrapped in sheets with only her face visible. Her forehead was damp with sweat, her eyes twitching as if she were trapped in a nightmare.

I hurried to her side and sat on the edge of the bed, gently pressing a hand to her forehead. The moment my skin touched hers, she seemed to calm slightly.

I turned to my mother and Ivy. "Can you give us some privacy?"

They exchanged a glance before nodding and stepping out, closing the door behind them.

Wasting no time, I accessed my system store and purchased a healing potion, carefully pouring it into Anna’s mouth little by little. It worked—but only slightly. She remained unconscious.

That’s when I noticed something strange.

A faint crack had formed on her forehead. It didn’t look like an injury. It wasn’t bleeding or swollen—it was as if her skin was splitting apart from within.

What the hell was happening?

My heartbeat quickened as I touched her hands. They were ice-cold—too cold. Like those of a corpse.

[Analysis complete.]

My system chimed in.

"Yeah? What’s going on?" I asked.

[I detect a faint evil aura emanating from Anna’s forehead.]

[It’s weak, but likely the cause of her condition.]

I frowned. Evil aura? Inside Anna? That made no sense. She was the kindest, most timid, and innocent girl I knew. How could she—

"Can I do anything to help her?"

[You can use your skill: Divine Protection to purify the lingering evil inside her.]

"...Wait, I can do that?"

[Yes. You recently leveled up this skill.]

[If you keep leveling up your skills, you’ll be able to do even more.]

Without hesitation, I pressed my palm against her forehead and activated Divine Protection.

The moment I did, the heavy, suffocating pressure in the room lifted.

And to my shock, the faint crack on her forehead vanished completely.

[Target is safe for now.]

[However, her body temperature is dangerously low.]

[Initiate human-body-heat-transfer.]

I blinked. "Wait, what?"

[It’s a survival technique—]

"I know what it is, dammit! I was a doctor, you know!" I snapped.

Human body heat transfer is a survival method used to treat hypothermia, where a warm, unclothed person lies against a hypothermic person also unclothed under blankets. The direct skin contact allows for efficient heat transfer and can help stabilize the affected person’s body temperature.

But to think I’d have to do that with Anna?

"System... isn’t there another way? Like a hot bath?"

[No. Use the method l recommended.]

I felt my palms sweat.

"Come on, system. Be serious —"

[Oh, I see. The same pervert who proudly competed in blowjob and sex competitions is suddenly too shy to help a girl in need?]

[Shall I prepare a coffin for her instead?]

"Oh, shut up! I’m not afraid, it’s just—"

[Get your ass naked and help Anna before it’s too late!]

[Her heart rate is slowing!]

[You claim to have been a doctor, so act like one!]

Good grief. Why the hell did I get stuck with such an obnoxious system?

Come to think of it, I’d been surrounded by obnoxious people ever since I came to this world.

One of these days, I should ditch everyone and enjoy at least 24 hours of peace.

I sighed and started undressing.

I left my underwear on, though. I didn’t trust the monster inside it.

Now came the hard part—undressing Anna.

I swallowed hard and pulled the blanket off her.

She wore a long, white dress with buttons running down the side, from under her armpit to the hem.

I started unbuttoning from the bottom, one by one. When I reached her thighs, my hands froze.

Damn it! My eyes kept wandering!

I squeezed my eyes shut and continued unbuttoning blindly. But even with my eyes closed, my dirty mind painted images I didn’t need right now.

Before I knew it, I had stopped moving.

[GET A GRIP OF YOURSELF.]

The system literally yelled at me, snapping me out of it.

[Hurry up, or she’ll get even colder.]

"Don’t yell at me. I know what I’m doing!" I grumbled, steeling my resolve.

I unbuttoned the dress completely and carefully slid it off her, leaving her in just her bra and panties.

I swallowed even harder, then smiled when l saw the necklace l bought her the other day on her neck.

I took a swift glance at her entire body and gulped. I never realized she was this beautiful.

My heart literally thumped.

"It’s fine now, right? This should do," I said to the system.

[NO, DUMMY!]

[You need to take off every piece of clothing!]

"E-every... piece?" My heart raced. "You mean, even her bra and panties?"

[Yes, and be quick.]

I sighed.

This was just to help her. Nothing more.

Ignoring how awkward it was, I unclasped her bra and tossed it aside, doing my best not to look. But my damn eyes caught sight of her soft, round firm globes with pinkish nipples I’ve never came across before. I got tempted to just touch and feel them.

Just a little.

But, l shook the thoughts away.

I slid her panties off with my eyes closed. No way in hell I was letting myself see her down there. The memory would haunt me forever, refusing to get off my mind.

Then, without wasting time, I climbed into bed beside her, pulling the blanket over us.

I tossed a leg over hers and slid one hand under her, just beneath her neck. My other hand rested lightly above her chest, allowing as much body heat to transfer as possible.

Then, leaning close, I breathed warm air onto her neck to increase her body temperature.

The sweet scent of her hair filled my nostrils, unexpectedly soothing me.

Minutes passed.

Then—

She twitched.

She was waking up!

Crap!

To avoid the awkwardness, l jolted up, scrambling to put my clothes back on. But at that moment—

I heard footsteps approaching to the door.

Double crap!

There was no time!

I jumped back into bed, still naked, just as Anna’s eyes fluttered open.

She looked at me groggily, her voice weak. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"A-sher?"

"Hey," I replied.

Then—

The freaking door swung open.

Our mothers stepped inside.

"Oh, Goddess! Asher, what are you doing?" I heard my mother’s shocked voice.

"I knew this day would come!" Ivy added. "Look, even their clothes are on the floor!"

Now how the fuck do I explain this?! ’Hey moms, I swear it’s not what it looks like’—yeah, like that ever works."

This Is Why I Hate My System. (Sigh)
