His laughter echoed through the sterile hallway like a madman who had just solved a cosmic riddle... or completely lost his marbles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Okay. He’s lost it, Charlotte thought, cautiously inching closer. And here I thought today couldn’t get any weirder...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then suddenly, as if flipping a switch, Alex stopped laughing. He turned toward her with an uncharacteristically calm expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Char, I need you to do something for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was speaking... normally?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sighed in relief. ’Thank the gods he didn’t go fully insane—even though he’s already half-insane most days.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gave a small smile. \"Alright. What is it? You can tell me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know how to give an injection?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her smile faltered. \"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I asked if you know how to give someone a shot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uhh... no, I don’t?\" she said, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex nodded. \"Then learn. In the next few minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte squinted. \"What?! Look, I’m already worried sick about Lily, and now you’re acting like some mad scientist, and—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just do as I say, Char,\" Alex interrupted, his voice firmer now. \"This is for Lily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That name—the reason they were all here—snapped her back to focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sighed. \"Okay, okay. Fine. I’ll do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside his mind, Alex was grinning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>System... you’re an absolute genius. I always thought you were just a useless voice in my head, but today... I’m actually proud of you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice rang in his mind like a snarky wind chime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[\"You absolute bastard. At least learn how to thank someone properly when you’re grateful to them.\"]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And of course you’re a genius. It’s me who’s the dumb one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[\"Damn right. Keep going. I like the sound of that. Praise me more.\"]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex smirked inwardly. You, oh supreme and divine system, are the greatest existence in this cosmos. I, the lowly meat sack, bow to your radiant glory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[\"Heh. That’s more like it. Looks like you’re finally starting to appreciate my greatness.\"]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, alright. Enough gloating. It’s time to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this plan to work... I’ll need Lily’s blood sample. The corruption is spreading through her legs—so there’s enough active infection to work with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned toward Dr. Emma’s office and looked over his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Char, find a nurse and learn how to administer an injection. Meet me back here in five minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte’s mouth twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! I’m a princess, not your personal nurse, you know!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex chuckled. \"Personal nurse? I like the sound of that. That outfit would actually suit you quite well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte’s cheeks flushed. \"Shut up and go do whatever shady nonsense you’re planning!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He winked. \"See you in five, Nurse Princess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he turned away, Charlotte sighed and rubbed her temples. \"Do I really have to do this...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex gave her a thumbs-up without turning back. \"Please. It’s for Lily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She groaned. \"Ugh! Alright, alright, you bastard—just go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left standing in the hallway, Charlotte glanced around until she spotted a nurse walking by with a medical kit in hand. She took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why the hell am I doing this again...?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excuse me,\" she said, stepping forward. \"Miss, can I have a word?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nurse turned, surprised. Her eyes widened slightly upon seeing Charlotte’s regal aura and shimmering white hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes? How can I help—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Charlotte Evans Avaloria, first princess of the Avaloria Empire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nurse’s breath hitched. She had seen this girl before in news feeds and magazines. But now, standing face-to-face, there was no doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately bowed low. \"I greet the Princess! Y-Your Highness, did I do something wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte smiled gently. \"No. Nothing like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hesitated for a second, then added, \"Actually... I wanted to ask if you could teach me something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nurse blinked. \"Me? Teach... you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte nodded. \"I want to learn how to give someone an injection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nurse stared at her like she had just been asked how to pilot a dragon into orbit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I’m sorry, what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte’s eyebrow twitched. \"You heard me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Alex was standing before Dr. Emma, trying his best to look like the most emotionally shattered brother in the history of the universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Emma,\" he began, his voice soft and fragile. \"I... I know it’s against the rules, but I really need Lily’s blood sample.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emma’s brows furrowed. \"Alex, I understand you’re worried, but giving corruption-infected samples to an unauthorized individual—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please,\" Alex interrupted, his tone desperate. He leaned forward, eyes large and glistening with fake tears. \"I’ve met someone researching abyssal corruption... They might be able to develop a cure. If there’s even the slightest chance, I’ll do anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clasped his hands together like a desperate monk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emma looked at him... then sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looks like a kicked puppy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, okay! You can stop making that face,\" she muttered, rubbing her forehead. \"If what you’re saying is true... and if that researcher really can create a cure, then this could help not just Lily, but countless others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex beamed—this time, with real gratitude hidden behind the fake tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Miss Emma. Really. I’ll be forever grateful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emma stood and walked over to a secure cabinet. Moments later, she returned with three small, black-sealed vials glowing faintly with a sinister purple hue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here,\" she said, handing them over cautiously. \"These are Lily’s blood samples that we just recently took. Handle them with extreme care. A single drop on a normal person... could mean instant death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This box is locked,\" she added. \"Only your fingerprint will open it. Keep it safe, Alex.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex’s expression turned serious. \"I understand. I’ll make sure nothing happens.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he carefully took the vials, something inside him surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hope wasn’t just a dream anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he was going to fight for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clutching the box carefully, he turned and left the office, his footsteps echoing softly down the quiet hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he neared the spot he had promised to meet Charlotte, a strange sight greeted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte was standing in the middle of the hallway, holding a syringe... and trying to stab the air with it. Her hand moved in hesitant, jerky motions—like someone trying to practice martial arts with a dinner fork.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice echoed dryly in his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Looks like she’s trying to figure out how to give an injection.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex chuckled aloud. \"I can see that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strolling toward her, he called out with a grin, \"Princess Nurse, I’m ready for my shot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte’s mouth twitched. A visible vein pulsed on her temple as she turned toward him with a glare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t. Call. Me. That,\" she said, pouting like a child denied dessert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chuckling, Alex raised his hands in surrender. \"Alright, alright. I take it you’re ready?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte crossed her arms. \"You bastard. If I wasn’t a princess, they would’ve arrested me for medical malpractice five minutes ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex raised a brow. \"Wait... so you practiced it on a real person?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave her a suspicious squint. \"How is he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte gave a smug smile. \"Let’s just say... it took a few trials. But I think she’s in good condition now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, after a small pause, she added, \"Probably.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex’s eye twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did she just switch words mid-sentence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice echoed in his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Host... this fake nurse seems quite dangerous. Don’t you have any other options?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex sighed internally. No. Experimenting with abyss corruption-infected blood is illegal without high authorization. But Charlotte’s a princess. Anyone else in this hospital would report me—and I’d be executed for even suggesting it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system paused, then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Can’t you just drink the blood yourself? Direct adaptation.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex gagged. You gross bastard. What do I look like to you? A vampire bloodsucker from a discount horror drama?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[...Alright, alright. Do it your way, drama queen.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning back to Charlotte, Alex said with a smirk, \"Let’s go, Miss Princess Illegal Nurse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte rolled her eyes. \"This is all because of you. And don’t call me that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They made their way into a small medical room nearby. Sterile, quiet, with dim blue lights and white cabinets lining the walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex sat down on the examination chair and placed the high-tech box on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pressed his thumb on the biometric lock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beep. Clack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The box hissed open. Inside, three vials rested securely in grooves. Two of them contained a thick, almost black-red substance that swirled sluggishly, glowing faintly with violet veins. It didn’t look like blood. It looked... alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte stared, wide-eyed. \"What kind of medicine is this...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she frowned. \"And how is injecting that into yourself supposed to help Lily?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex’s playful smile faded instantly. His expression turned sharp, serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Char... please don’t ask too many questions. Just help me. I’ll owe you one. A big one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte’s brows knit together. \"Will this... harm your body?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex didn’t answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Alex,\" she pressed, \"this is going to hurt you, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know,\" he finally said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte closed her eyes and exhaled slowly. She could already feel a headache forming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay,\" she said quietly. \"I’ll do it. But on one condition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She opened her eyes and met his directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When this is done—no more half-truths. You tell me everything. What’s going on. Why you’re doing this. How it’s supposed to help Lily. All of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex stared at her for a second, then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I promise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte gave a soft smile. \"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she walked over to the medical kit and pulled out a pair of disposable gloves. She slipped them on with a snap, then reached for the syringe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex sat still as she prepped the equipment, his heartbeat gradually picking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system whispered softly in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You’re really doing this, huh...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course. We only have a month, and I will not take any risks in the matters involving Lily. Alex replied, his gaze fixed on the swirling abyss-tainted blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For her... I’ll do everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte held up the syringe with shaky hands, then took one of the vials and began drawing out the contents. The blood slithered unnaturally, like it was resisting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay,\" she whispered. \"Ready?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>----------\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A\u002FN:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So how was the Chapter?
