Huff HuffIan placed his palms on his knees and breathed heavily as he looked around.After playing hooky with his secret little admirers for a good thirty minutes or so, he finally managed to get rid of all of them.They were currently in an unknown alley of the town and all three of them were catching their breathe as they stayed hidden."Did we manage to escape?"Ian asked, confirming once again that nobody was following him. Richard and Amber did the same and nodded their head. Since wolves had high sensitivity towards mana, they had to run without using any mana all this time, which was quite exhausting."Then let's go back now."Ian dusted off his clothes and prompted the two of them."We're going back?""Don't you want to look around some more?"The two of them asked. Since they finally managed to get rid of the kids, they could look around a bit peacefully now. But Ian shook his head instead."It's almost lunch time."Ian looked up and sighed. They had an appointment with the

"Forget it.. I'll talk to him later.. We should get ready soon." Ian decided to think about useless matters later as he had something more urgent coming up. He wanted to get done with the dinner as soon as possible and then pack things up and go. He kicked out the last two people from his room and finally sighed in relief. It was exhausting having to deal with so many people at once. The introvert inside him had almost suffocated to death. Ian decided to take a shower since he had been running so much and was drenched in sweat at some point. When they travelled before, they either took a bath while they were in some Inn, or in a nearby river. Seeing the spacious bath of the royal palace, Ian was reminded of his home. Back there, he had all the luxury in the world. He hardly ever felt the need to ask for anything because even before he felt the need to ask, that thing was already there. 'I lived a pretty damn luxurious life for a while.' Even back in Noah's world, although the

Ian attended the party. Well. It couldn't exactly be called a party since the only people present were the King, his family, Ian and his party. Even the servants exited the dining room once the food was served. 'This is quite comfortable.' Ian was impressed by the thoughtfulness of the Royal family and nodded in satisfaction. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was pleasant. The people present were kind and considerate. Everything was perfect except- Bzz! A fierce battle of exchanging stares and glares were happening right beside Ian. It was none other than the kids. Riley, who was sitting in a seat placed between his parent and Ash and Louis, the two kids sitting one seat beside Ian, they were constantly exchanging glares with each other, creating static in the air. The two seats beside Ian were occupied by Lucas and Henry, yet, instead of getting mad at them, all of Riley's focus was on those two. "Pfft.." "Ahem!" Rick couldn't suppress his laughter anymore and it al

"Ian?" Albert stood up from his seat, the pen in his hand rolling on top of the paper, spilling ink everywhere. He had a look of disbelief on his face as he tried to take in the scenery inside his room, his bedroom. There were dozens of people, including Ian, all of them who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. No. It wasn't actually out of nowhere either. He was working. He was writing in his desk. And then suddenly, a bright purple ominous looking door appeared in the middle of his room. Albert was shocked and the first thing that came to his mind was a monster breakout. Since, normally, those were the type so portals monsters used when they attacked the human cities. Specially sincr he had a first hand experience not so long ago, at the Lancaster birthday party. A gate of similar colour and attribute had appeared there as well, out of nowhere. And the next moment, monsters were crawling out of the gate like bees from a hive. There was simply no end to it. And Albert, so

A dark room. The windows were open to maintain the air circulation. And although it was a room that haven't been used in a while, there was not a speck of dust to be found anywhere. Flicker. In that dark space, something suddenly started flickering and soon, that small light turned into a door like structure. It was a gate. The next moment, a person fully covered in hood came out of the gate and stepped inside the room. "Whoa.." Ian let out a small sound as he took in the fresh air inside the room. He was surprised by how properly maintained it was even without someone using it for months. 'They kept it clean hoping for you to return.' The Phoenix commented. But it was unnecessary, if Ian had to be honest. He could tell. And even without seeing the state of his room, he knew that even before. He slowly walked across the room, tracing everything with his hands and fingers. A feeling of nostalgia covered his heart as he did so. It had only been a month or so. The time he
