Ivan twitches on the bare, cold tiles, his body barely moving. Violet bruises stand out starkly against his extremely pale skin as the familiar throbbing pain trickles back in with his consciousness.His face is a rainbow of bruises, his battered body sprawled unmoving on the ground, occasionally releasing a small moan. Ivan's condition is gravely serious. His face is swollen and distorted, adorned with deep cuts and injuries. Blood streams down visibly from his nose, mouth, and various wounds, staining his shirt crimson. His nose is broken, and the bruise has begun to turn slightly purplish.His bloodshot eyes reveal red veins, and the area around them is darkened with wounds, impairing Ivan's vision. He can only writhe on the floor, each movement a test of endurance due to the pain and stiffness from his injuries.Every part of his body aches, leaving him unsure where to even place his hands. His swollen face is drenched in sweat and blood, emitting a pungent smell that fills the ro

With all the energy left in him, Ivan stood up staggeringly and watched the dark-red ring with caution as he retreated slowly and carefully.His wounds hurt, so he could not rush and could only retreat very slowly, putting a distance between himself and the ring. Ivan looked around skeptically, with the thought that maybe someone was playing tricks on him. But even after looking around, he found nothing, making him even more suspicious.The dark-red ring remained still on the ground, and he also stared at it vigilantly.His breath became shallow and fast, his palms sweat-soaked, and his muscles tense. Ivan's heart pounded in his chest, the sound echoing in his ears like a war drum.A shiver ran down his spine, and his eyes darted nervously from side to side, looking for any signs or recognizable sights that could offer a feeling of solace or comfort, to tell him that he was just imagining things. But there was nothing of the sort.The obscure can feel like a tremendous, dull void, pre

The figure on the floor groaned lightly before standing up. It's Ivan. Ivan opens his grey eyes groggily and looks around. His eyes widen in shock when he realizes that he is in an unfinished building. He sits up with a start, his brows wrinkling. After a while, his memories rush back as if they had just rebooted and come back online. Ivan finally remembers what happened. From the moment he first saw Roy, to when he was humiliated, to where he was thrashed... Wait! Ivan suddenly remembers something. He looks down at himself and when he sees the condition his body is in, his mouth agapes and his eyes dilate like saucer balls. He remembers that he was beaten black and blue yesterday. His leg was broken and he could only drag it behind himself. He had so many wounds on his body last night, but now, apart from the scabs on his skin, he does not even have a scar. Truthfully speaking, he had initially thought that he would not be able to survive with all these wounds, but everything ch

All the worst possibilities only made Ivan angrier, to the extent that green veins popped out from his pale forehead, coupled with what Lucy had done to him.Thinking about everything fueled his desire for revenge.Ivan had waited and waited, with the hope that Lucy would change and come back to her senses, and request for them to get back together.Ivan felt that they had been together for so long, so he did not believe that the ties could be easily severed just like that.He thought that Lucy would still come back to him, and he even had it in mind that if she did not, he would try his best to win her over again and show her how far his love could go for her. But after seeing so many guys with her?Ivan only realized it when it was too late!Lucy never liked him, let alone loved him the way he did. He was the one foolishly sacrificing everything for their relationship, wasting his time and energy, ruining his own life to make her life better because he felt that as a couple, they sh

It was at this moment that Ivan thought of something. Since his powers were granted by the ring, why couldn't he use the same power on the ring itself?He had been trying to understand the ring for hours, but it was futile. He might as well strain his eyes and use the powers.After countless trials, Ivan finally realized that if he wanted to use his abnormal eyes, he would have to strain his eyes, and then he would be able to see things.With that said, Ivan took a deep breath before straining all his sense organs, especially his eyes. He did not want to miss any information, so he used all his powers at once.With all this, he did not believe that the ring would still be able to keep its secrets.The moment Ivan strained his sense organs, different smells and different sounds assaulted his nose and ears, respectively.He furrowed his brows and found it hard to divert all his attention to the ring. After trying so many times, he finally got the hang of it, and his attention was fixed
