In the white room where the upper ceiling has a white paint, the ground is color white, and the wall is white.
Liberaine is wondering if she fell in some sort of a trap from her enemies. The word 'You died' that the man in white spat out is just impossible for her.
She looked at the man and indifferently said, "Look up."
The man wearing a white clothes slowly looked up and saw Liberaine's emerald eyes directly staring at him, he dazed for a second and came back to his senses when he felt that someone was sizing him up.
Liberaine is looking at the man while she is touching her chin. This guy looks young.. 19 years old at most, has a handsome face and his cloth is as white as him but the clumsiness in his eye cannot be hidden at first sight. She cannot believe that this guy has the guts to prank her or trap her.
So maybe someone tricked him to do this to her, "Who told you to do this?".
The man in white face paled and answered nervously, "There's no one who told me or asked me.. its... it's a mistake."
Liberaine still wondered how she pa.s.sed out, looking at the trembling man and didn't feel any mana inside him, she concluded that he just picked her up after pa.s.sing out and brought her in this place. "What mistake?"
"..." He s.h.i.+vered, not knowing if he could answer what she just asked.
Liberaine sighed, and remembered the comics and novels she left outside the store after pa.s.sing out. So she told the young man, " If it's a mistake don't tremble, it's okay." she stands up. 'This guy doesn't look like a bad guy so I will just let it go... because I need to hurry for my comics.'
"If that's it, I'm going to go. Bye." She flicked her finger and closed her eyes.
But.. nothing happens. She flicked her finger again and again but nothing changed, she's still standing in front of the man.

"Umm. Your soul cannot leave this place after dying and this room has an ability to restrict any form of magic to a visitor." He blinked innocently his eyes and kindly reminded Liberaine.
...
'You died.' Im...possible... It dawned on her.
In her disbelief, she tried chanting word by word. [Emareillia, Guardian of the s.p.a.ce and Time, I command thee to follow my orders and heed this one's request.] [mòúèra spąnrı kwenni ìs taıbanyå].
But still nothing happens. 'Hup,' she gasped in disbelief. She stared wide-eyed at the white cloth man, "Whts this? My magic?" My life.. my immortality.. come on.. the h.e.l.l (○-○
)
The man began to talk, he really looked guilty, "This place has rules for the soul so any tricks or magic don't have an effect here. You see, I kind of make ... little mi-mistake in my job so..." he paused for a moment and said, "You died." He pointed at Liberaine's body while the latter looked down and saw that she was really transparent.
@ Hmm? Soul? I really died. Why? My immortality, my life, the books. Did I owe this young man in my past life, what did he mean by 'little' mistake?
Many questions began to swarm in Liberaine's mind but she can't make a word to question him. She just stared at the white man wearing white clothes in agape.
The man is fidgeting. He didn't know if he should tell her the reason but he is a sincere and honest man. He looked at the heart-broken Liberaine and decided to take responsibility. He calmed himself and stuttering said,
"You see there... there is an error to another world .. so I got out to go there .. but.. because I'm hurrying I got into your world, and.. the position that I.. fell .. is exactly where you are standing on the earth.."
"You got too much power inside you and the relic that I am carrying .. accidentally activate causing to suck your soul and leaving your body dead for almost 6 days."
"At first I thought that I could still bring your soul back to your dead body and use an artifact then it will be okay ... but.."
"I tried.. I really tried to preserve your.. body in your world... but.." He closed his eyes, remembering the time when he's on earth trying to rob her body in the eyes of her loyal servants but didn't succeed. He kneel before her and said, "The humans cremate your body, without me looking."
"I'm sorry." He began to cry out of guilt but there are no tears at all.
Liberaine is just listening to him in a daze. Self-reflecting, 'The body that I cultivate in witchcraft for hundreds of years become an ashed' What kind of dog s.h.i.+t luck is this.
'I died because of the clumsiness of this man."
Clumsiness
Died....
The tears began to fall in her peach cheeks but it's not because of sadness. She's already an old hag anyway but her power really mattered. She secretly looked at the clumsy guy and thought, 'In the novel when the main character died they were given compensation'. Thinking of an interesting life, she began to shed crocodile tears.
Seeing her face that cannot be painted, the young man hurriedly says, "Don't worry, I will let you live your life again. Don't worry." He put his hands above his head signaling of surrender.
'As expected.' Liberaine reacted to the word 'live again' and pretended to be shocked, "How? Are you really a G.o.d?", 'With that clumsiness?'
The white cloth man immediately shaked his head, "I'm not and I didn't dare to, I'm just an apprentice of a G.o.d. But we direct apprentices can summon your soul into another world and place it to a dead body."
Liberaine immediately regained her sense and began to become happy, looks like it's a blessing in disguise after all. She could manipulate this young man to give her an overpowered new life.
She stared at the apprentice man, and saw that this guy must be getting nervous because he doesn't want his superiors to know his mistake'. Looking at his sincere eyes, she formed a plan inside her mind.
