Miles Lykaon sat at his desk, twirling a glass of grape red Pinot Noir wine in his hand, gazing through his window, observing the peaceful Lykaon gardens. It was a moonless night and the dozen or so light drones in the air were not sufficient to illuminate the entirety of the massive garden. Particularly, the interior of the hedge maze which spanned several hundred square meters and took up a quarter of the garden. Leafy green hedges formed the walls of a labyrinth, twisting and turning into dark unlit paths he should've known as well as the back of his hand. Unfortunately, the fae empowered bramble and thistle had ruined and deformed the maze garden into something he was no longer familiar with. Seeing the old maze in such bad condition, only a shadow of what it used to be, made Miles's heart ache. Suddenly, a voice called out from the doorway, "Master Miles, I've just received information pertaining to a rumored Faetality booster serum. I'll be taki

Miles was well-aware of the capability of most Faehumans. The only people who could exhibit speeds as fast as this were in the upper tier of Delta, which meant Faetality only slightly less than 100,000! That was already a hundred times his own, and he felt these two were even stronger! These were individuals who could take on entire armies, entire fleets of ships by themselves! However, considering that Fae ships were up in the sky, these were probably Fae. Types of Fae he had never seen or heard of before... Suddenly, the Lykaon insignia ring sputtered to life. *ALERT! ALERT!* TWO UNIDENTIFIED INTRUDERS DETECTED INSIDE THE MANSION. *ALERT! ALERT!* Miles cursed, ‘SH*T! Now you tell me?’ until his eyes widened in realization, ‘’Holy hells! I understand! They were so fast, the security system didn’t register them as intruders until they stopped.” Unfortuna

Miles woke up to the unfamiliar sound of a repeating electronic beep. ‘What... is that? It sounds like a vital sign or a heart monitor?’ Pushing himself up into a sitting position, he looked around. It was indeed what he had expected, and the monitor showed the current status of his body in neon green.His heartbeat was slightly below average, his body temperature a few degrees below the norm, but his physical condition was apparently extremely good.As he shifted his eyes away from the monitor, he suddenly realized that it was dark. There were no sources of light, not even a lamp turned on. There was very little illumination, and yet, he could see completely fine. Everything was clear a

Miles was stupefied by Zhan Shen’s reaction. He sputtered out, struggling to speak within that overwhelming pressure, “Old Zhan… W-What are you talking about? It’s me!”The pressure decreased, slightly, but it remained, holding him in place.The Elderly Butler frowned, seemingly confused. Slowly, he asked, “But... you can’t be! Your aura... it’s so vile, inhuman, lifeless. The child I brought up can’t be a monster like you! I never should’ve let you--him...”‘Dammit! He can sense the change? And it’s that bad? But I don’t feel that different? Ahhh, f*ck. I’m going to have to come clean, aren’t I?’Starting to feel the weight of guilt, Miles started to explain,
