My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 1 Why is the system's head so pointed?

The setting sun turned the calm lake surface into a caramel color. Roland grabbed a handful of pine branches and threw them into the fire in front of him. The sparks flew over the small pot on top of it and dissipated in the twilight.

The small pot on the fire made a bubbling sound, and the aroma of fish soup wafted out, brushing against Roland's cheek along with the breeze from the lake.

But his eyes were always fixed on the lake surface rippling by the wind.

[…System startup…Error detected, repair in progress…Repair complete, system binding complete.]

【The Destiny Savior System is activated.】

【Novice mission has been triggered】

[Host, please explore the Plague City of Reskan, investigate the hidden truth of the catastrophe, find a way to eliminate the plague's effects, and investigate and expose to the world the actions of the Nightmare Witch Kalia during the catastrophe.]

The mission objectives are as follows:

[1. Find out the truth about the disaster and how it happened.]

Second, collect as many virus samples as possible.

[3. Find evidence that the Dire Witch Kalia was involved in planning the catastrophe.]

[4. Safely leave the Plague City of Reskan.]

[A reward will be issued for each task completed. If you choose to complete the fourth task directly, it will be considered as giving up the first three tasks.]

[Ding! An extremely high-risk individual has been detected—Daredevil Kalia!]

[Host, please avoid it immediately and avoid any contact or conflict with it! Ensure your own safety!]

Looking at this system that suddenly jumped in his face, Roland was silent for a long time, then turned his head to look at the other side of the fire, where he was taking revenge on the girl who was supposed to be his dinner.

This girl, who looks delicate but in a disheveled state, is now concentrating all her energy on the most primitive desire of human beings - eating.

She completely ignored the fact that her beautiful cornflower-like hair hanging from her forehead was stained with fish soup.

Roland was really afraid that the girl would choke to death if she ate too fast.

Even though she had a large red name frame on her head with the words "Nightmare Witch Kalia" written on it, Roland was not very wary of her.

The other party's performance was too relaxed.

There is absolutely no trace of the temperament and aura of a dangerous person.

Compared to the so-called dangerous person described by the system, she is more like a starving stray cat. After being fed, she ignores everything and focuses on eating.

The most important thing is that Roland feels that this system is somewhat unreliable.

The port city of Reskan.

A transportation hub along the coast of the Hearst Empire, the empire's largest port city, and one of the important hub stations on the Empire's magic train network map.

Roland had just left the city an hour ago and was planning to practice magic in the small forest on the outskirts of the city as usual.

At least until an hour ago, everything in the city was normal.

This humid and busy coastal city was no different from the one he had lived in for the past sixteen years.

People came and went, caravans' carriages filled the streets, which had been expanded three times, and the hawking sounds in the market never stopped.

No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with the term Plague City.

Roland suddenly remembered something and asked the system in his mind: "System, tell me today's date."

[Today is December 12, 1039 in the Imperial Calendar. Please proceed with caution.]

"Today is December 5, 1029. System, are you awake?"

【纠正，今天是帝国历1039年12月12日。宿主正位于瑞斯坎城外，请保证自身安全，及时开始行动。】“可今天明明就是1029年12月5日！”

[Correction: The system time is December 12, 1039 in the Imperial Calendar. Please do not question the accuracy of the system.]

You have a chicken-feather accuracy!
Take a deep breath, take a deep breath... calm down and don't get angry with fools.

Roland hypnotized himself like this, then asked, "Do you have any information about the Plague Demon City? At least tell me how it became the Plague Demon City."

[Ding, summarizing information...]

On December 12, 1029 of the Imperial Calendar, an unknown and deadly plague broke out in the port city of Reskan, turning the entire city into a dead city overnight.

The Imperial Military immediately took action, sealing off Reskan and its surrounding towns, preventing the spread of the strange plague within the city. However, the once prosperous southern coast of the Empire subsequently became a restricted area.

[The Imperial Inspectorate has yet to release the specific details of the catastrophe, including its causes and causes. They have only issued a wanted notice for the alleged culprit, the Nightmare Witch Kalia.]

Looking at the information provided by the system, Roland was silent for a while, overwhelmed by the overwhelming amount of information. He finally said, "...There's nothing for you to do now. Go wherever you want to cool down."

[Okay, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. This system is always at your service. ]

After a few questions, Roland understood one thing.

This system was probably started ten years too early, and this unfortunate system is not very smart.

"Cough cough cough!!!"

A violent cough sounded at this moment, interrupting Roland's thoughts.

Turning around, I saw the witch lady with a red name on her head, who was likely to be wanted by the empire soon, seemed to have choked because she drank the soup too quickly. She coughed out the fish soup that had just entered her mouth and sprayed it onto the grass at her feet.

Those amber eyes were wide open and he was coughing heavily.

It's hilarious no matter how you look at it.

"Eat slowly, there's more in the soup pot."

Roland felt a little helpless, patted the other person's back gently, and then handed over the last piece of bread he brought with him.

Kalia looked at Roland gratefully, then took the bread without saying a word and started eating it with the fish soup.

How long has it been since this guy last had a meal?
Roland was very curious about the other person's experience.

In this strange world where magic exists, "witches" represent a being completely different from ordinary people.

Or perhaps, witch is just a common name for this group.

Academically speaking, these people are generally called "natural spellcasters."

That is, one knows and masters the existence of the ability to cast spells after birth.

Of course, these abilities usually awaken when the individual reaches the age of sixteen. Before that, these witches are no different from ordinary people.

Once awakened, his strength would be equivalent to that of a three-ring magician... Even if he took on a few commissions from the Adventurer's Guild, he wouldn't be so hungry.

Although Roland was only at the second ring level, he was able to receive many well-paid commissions. Even if he didn't become rich, it was more than enough for his daily expenses.

And judging by his appearance and figure, he's definitely over sixteen...

Never mind. Now is not the time to think about that.

Assuming the information provided by the system is correct, doesn't it mean that Ruiskan will become a dead city in seven days?
Moreover, this plague can turn this big city into a dead city overnight and turn the entire southern coast of the empire into a restricted area. Is it really just a "plague"?

This is my first book as a new author, so please bear with me if there are any shortcomings.
