Zosia: Quick Transmigration System-Chapter 28 - 27 - Arc 1

֎Dominic's POV֎

He was in the meeting when his phone screen lit up.

Looking at it, it happened to be a message from Diana.

Just seeing her name pop up on his screen already brought a smile on his face.

'Hmm, is she missing me already?' He thought as he stared at the text which says: "When are you coming back?"

His eyes twinkled and his lips curled up into a smile as he quickly replied.

"Is there a problem?" He typed.

"Not really. When is your birthday?" Zosia's message came in immediately.

'Is she planning something for me. Maybe she heard my birthdate from someone and just wants to confirm, but, indeed my birthday would be coming soon.'

He was still typing when her text came in.

"Can you come back earlier than planned, maybe for a day, then you go back and continue with what you have to do?"

He thought about it for a while before he replied.

"Well, since you asked, I would come back...."

While he was lost in his own world, typing away. His subordinates were stunned.

Whispering, they turned to each other to be sure they are also seeing what they are seeing.

"Is he smiling?"

"Who could he be talking too?"

"So the vice chairman can fall in love too?"

"Hey, does that mean we would have a sister-in-law soon."

They chatted away forgetting about the vice chairman's personality.

"Are you all done?" His calm voice reverberated in the room causing a hushed silence to descend.

They all lowered their heads at his words and knew no excuse to give.

"Back to the meeting"

.....

֎Zosia's Pov֎

On her own end, she wrote down everything they would need.

She had to take a week off just to work on it and Yup, it was tiring.

Opening the storage bag she had created, she smiled happily but soon frowned.

"The stability is just more than a year.

Even after using the leather from the horse i had trained and fed diligently with the stream water, it only increased the durability and nothing else."

"At least, it's better than nothing." She muttered.

She placed the two bags beside two boxes.

One box had male clothing's and some male necessities while the other box had female clothing's and it's necessities.

Opening the storage bag, which has only a 100 cubic meters, she began placing the things in the female box.

First she placed the clothes which not only included workout clothes but fighting wears.

She didn't place much as she was not sure if there would be enough space for food.

After placing everything including pads, napkins that could take on the role of the pad in dire times,

underwears, water and food, she placed some toiletries, not much but enough for survival.

She did same for the other storage bag, in which she put the male belongings.

Zosia stood up and walked to her bed side, shifting it aside, she opened the loose tile floor.

A strange panel revealed itself, which was quite strange on its own.

The room separated in half, revealing a basement, which was quite strange.

Walking down the stairs to the basement, crates of potions and her stream water was lined up.

She wouldn't need to have done so many potions if not for the fact that she was considering the safety of her host and Dominic.

She wouldn't lie, she had gotten quite some unusual feelings for him.

"Damn the feelings I am not supposed to have. Should I consider taking up her offer of erasing my emotions after each run?" She thought out loud as she stared at the crates of potions piled up in the cramped basement.

Sending a whole section of potions into her space, she used her space powers to warp some to her room.

Walking back up the stairs, she closed the panel and covered the tile back, before pushing the bed to its original position.

Zosia sectioned the potions and put them in both storage bags.

"Now the books."

After she said that, two green books appeared before her.

Despite looking small, it was heavier than it looked.

Tearing out a page in her note pad, she used her sharp dagger to cut herself.

Allowing some blood to flow into the bowl, she wrote something on the note pad.

After chanting some words the words written on blood disappeared.

Sticking the paper note to

each of the books, she placed them in the storage bags.

"Finally, I am done" she wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead.

"I need to catch up on my sleep, after clearing this place."

Her face alone can already tell how fatigued she was.

.....

֎Dominic's POV֎

Dominic looked out of the airplane window. Staring at the clouds, he muttered under his breath.

"Tomorrow is my birthday and since I can't stay for long , I would have to return the next day.

I wonder what kind of gift she has in place for me."

Closing his eyes, he decided to catch up on some sleep.

To free some time to come, he had stretched himself taut by working. Even his sleep was less than 3 hours, a day.

...

Walking out of the hanger, he followed the VIP section to come out.

The moment he came out he was met with a beautiful lady with her clothes differing from her normal formal or casual wear.

He wondered if it also had to do with his birthday.

He looked at Diana who stopped leaning on the car and came to greet him with a hug.

"Hope you slept well, cos we are going somewhere?"

"Where?" He asked with a smile on his face.

"I hope you can still smile after we get there" Diana muttered not to his hearing.

Entering the car, he allowed Diana to be the driver.

"You should still get some sleep. You had a hectic day." Feeling her concern and worry, he did as he was told.

When he woke up, he found himself in the forest with Diana still at the driver's seat.

"Where are we? And what are we doing here?" He asked with a frown.

"You will know soon. Gear up, I will be waiting for you outside."

Her words made him look at what was on the chair.

Seeing the registered gun, some unrecognizable bomb and a black outfit made of unrecognizable material as well as a boot.

"Are we going hunting or are we going to assassinate someone" he muttered under his breath but still decided to play along.

Since it was already wee hours of the morning, the fog in the forest hindered their visibility.

"I am done." He came out of the car and stood in front of Diana.

With everything tucked in, like a master, he eyed Diana waiting for praise.

"Seems like I got your size right. Let's go."

They walked for a while before arriving at a huge stone close to the cliff.

"Where are we and what are we doing here?"

He asked, this time with caution and wariness in his tone.

"Just trust me and give me your hand."

Dominic looked at her and decided to trust her. Giving her his hand, he felt something wrapping around him.

It flickered for a moment revealing a lilac like color.

He watched as Diana touched the huge stone and another energy covered them.

Like the first one, it flickered, revealing its blue color which became stable after while.

Diana held his hand and walked through the stone.

His mouth opened in utter disbelief.

"Are you playing?!" His mouth opened, wide enough to fit in an egg.

"Calm down. We just need to start the test, I would be your support while you do the rest. I am sure you are not weak."

Still confused, he watched her touch the stone stele.

A bright light flashed and when he opened his eyes again, he was met with harsh winds of winter.

His eyes went wide at the Holographic screen in front of him.

Turning to Diana, "I demand an explanation." The surprise on his face was already wiped off.

"It's like this..."

After Diana explained, he got the whole gist.

"So, you are the owner of the land and gold I was eyeing for."

"That is not the main focus."

"True. This place is really dangerous."

"Yeah, I know you are not one to back down. I hope you get the qualifications for a player system and talent before the apocalypse comes. "

"Thanks Babe." He said with a genuine smile.

"Babe?!" Zosia turned to stare at him.

"Well yeah, don't you like it." He winked at her.

Even know, he still didn't forget to test the waters.

Zosia scoffed but did not reply.

Due to the distraction, he forgot to ask Diana of what her own powers or more about the player stuff.

"Alright, accept the quest." She urged him.

...

Opening his eyes, he was met with the face of Diana.

Seeing her scrunched brows, he had the urge to caress and soothe her worries.

Diana was not really sleeping. Her thoughts were on how the situation would unfold after she leaves, especially the original host.

Her space and life talent were innate in her soul and not of this body, so if she leaves, she wasn't sure how or what the original own powers would be.

She wondered how the original owner will raid the remaining S-class dungeon.

'I need to ask Dominic to help the original host when the time comes, but how will I explain it to him.'

Opening her eyes, she noticed that space between her and Dominic had narrowed.

Ignoring the situation, she had to table her worries.

Dominic on the other hand, seeing the wry smile on her face, had concern written on his face.

Even what he attempted to do was thrown out of the window.

" Luckily, we are done. You would help me with my own task as i did.

The Talisman given to me is a one time use and all the powers added to it has disappeared.

I would need your help to go back home."

Dominic clenched his teeth at Daina's words.

He felt bad that she had used such an opportunity on him, instead of herself.

"You don't have to worry about that. Thank you." His hand stroked her face.

"I need to sleep." Diana slowly closed her eyes.

'I was able to finish this before I leave. At least, I believe I have done more than enough. I should be expecting a good reward.' This was her last thought.

Dominic eyes held deep concern and worries but knowing how tired she was, he let her be.

Carrying her on his back, he walked out of the cave, which led him straight to their car.

He was a little bit surprised but from what he had seen today, the surprise wasn't to the extent he felt awe.

He carefully laid her down, unaware that the souls has been exchanged.

Zosia is gone and the real Diana is back.

Entering the car, he started the car immediately.

Leaving the eerie forest, his thoughts went back to what Diana had told him.

According to her, she was lucky to find a mechanism which led her to the final boss room where she got a glowing gold chest.

As for her powers, they were something deposited in the talisman she used in helping him complete his task after her careful calculation.

He could not help but wonder if there were also more places like this.

'Well, there should be.' He glanced at the pouch given to him by Diana to which he asked her to drop his blood on it.

Pouting his lips, he felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't know why.

'Everything has gone as it should. So why the feeling?'

'Maybe it's because I can't see my reward till the apocalypse starts.

But at least I can feel the increase of my powers.

... ... ...

֎Diana's POV֎

At the back seat of the car laid Diana.

Diana cautiously opened her eyes.

"You are awake. We are back."

A little confused and disoriented, she showed a confused look.

"Let me help you go in." She watched as Dominic helped her into her house.

After dropping her, Dominic wanted to stay but Diana sent him back with the excuse she needed to be alone to think. Which, isn't a lie.

Watching Dominic leave with the car, she closed her eyes and slumped on the chair.

"So, I have been away for how many years?

That isn't what I should even be thinking about."

After review the memories, she pursed her lips.

"So, I am a lawyer and a hacker as well." She said with pursed lips.

She noticed that, when she wanted to dig into the memory, they were becoming vague.

"Some memories are becoming vague. If I don't write it down, I would lose them for real."

Rushing into her room, she saw a note on her table, held down by her perfume bottle.

Opening a compartment by the bed, she put in the password in her almost fading memory and also wrote it down.

Opening it, she saw the pouch, made of an unknown material and a cloth as well as a boot.

Doing as instructed, she carried it to the kitchen and used a knife to slice her hand.

Diana allowed the blood to pour freely on the pouch.

Click!

She opened it.

Seeing the amount of things inside, she felt teary.

"Such a good Realmrider. She prepared everything for me. I don't even have to struggle.

I..."

Diana started choking as she burst into sobs.

'I was so timid but seeing how she looked so confident.

I never knew I was this beautiful.' she thought as she allowed her memories to replay in her head.

She did not feel an ounce of jealousy but felt it was fair.

'She even helped me get close to Dominic. But how do I feel for him?' the question stumped her.

Diana spent the entire day thinking of what to do.

"I will just go with the flow, besides, he promised to help me complete my own task." She suddenly noticed that she couldn't differentiate between her and the person who helped her.

Some things in her memory were foggy, even the skills.

Her eyes opened wide that she flew from her bed to her reading table.

Taking one of the case file on the desk, she opened it.

A sigh of relief escaped her lips followes by a sad sigh.

"I do not have her - " she couldn't complete the sentence as she suddenly seems to have forgotten something.

"Hmm... What was I saying"

She continued thinking when she heard a knock on her door.

Opening the door in her pajamas, she was met with Dominic hand filled with flowers.

Diana smiled. 'It doesn't matter. Now I have my happiness and wish fulfilled.
