Loser System and Berserker Me Chapter 62: You Must Be Depressed

【Uwaaa! That was a great nap!】

System 12345 yawned.

【My host, did you catch up with Vernier? Let me take a look…】

【What happened?!?!】

A brilliant light burst forth from System 12345 in the void.

【What the… How did she suddenly die?】

Vernier’s profile had turned gray over on its side, indicating that she had passed away.
