"I'm in the room?" I blinked a few times to make sure it wasn't a dream."How did I get here?" The last thing I remembered was being strangled by someone who was trying to kill me."How did I get here, Newt?"[I lost connection with you for a few moments and when I came back, you were in your room, Master]I frowned at Newt's explanation. Who had taken me to my room? How could that be a coincidence?"Argh...!" I stood up and felt my head grow very heavy. The pain was so intense that my head felt like it was spinning. "My head hurts so much," I complained as I lay back down on the bed.I closed my eyes for a moment and then opened them again. The white ceiling looked like a bright cloud. I was silent as I remembered what had just happened. But not a single image flashed through my mind."What exactly happened? And how did I end up in my room?" I was really frustrated not to find any answers. I lifted myself to sit up, but the dizziness in my head made me fall back down.For the moment

"We move on to the next item." The host glanced back and the two who had been standing by immediately opened the curtain covering the painting. "The painting Holy Tears by Antonio Black. It tells the story of the sadness of a woman waiting for her lover to come to fulfil his promise.""That's the painting I've been looking for," Olivia whispered as her eyes never stopped staring at the sad painting.I looked at the painting to find out what was so special about it that Olivia wanted it so badly.It was a painting of a woman sitting in a chair. Her lips formed a smile, but the look in her eyes was one of sadness. Even though there were no tears in sight, it hypnotised anyone who looked at it to feel the same sadness as her. I did not even notice that my eyes were wet, but I quickly wiped them away."We open the bidding at US$1,000,000." After opening the bid, the host pointed politely at someone who raised a sign in his hand."One million one hundred thousand." The person offered a hig

Ever since I met Orchid Lanston at the auction, I've been curious about him. I had heard that the owner of Victoria Corp. was over forty, almost fifty years old. However, the person I saw was still very young. In fact, I originally thought he was in his early thirties.But after seeing the photos on the Internet, I was convinced that the person at the auction was indeed him.How can someone not age? I was surprised and amazed that Mr Lanston's face had not changed at all.Even from a distance I could see that there were no wrinkles on his face. Looks like beauty technology has improved a lot. I then held my cheeks with both hands. Should I start going to a beauty clinic to have my face done so I can be like Mr Lanston?I quickly dismissed the feminine thoughts that had suddenly flashed through my mind. I shuddered at the thought of spending hours in a beauty clinic.No! No! It's embarrassing.I focused on the article in front of me. I printed out everything I could find on the interne

"Whoa...!" I screamed as my body shook from the golem walking and its hands moving up and down, making me feel like I was on a rollercoaster.Occasionally, the golem would stop, but then it would start walking again. I always took the opportunity when the golem stopped to crush its fingers. However, it seemed to be in vain, as the fingers would grow back in one piece as before."Isn't there something I can use to destroy this golem, Newt?" I asked, my voice shaking as my body continued to shake.[Since golems are the result of magic, they can be destroyed by greater magical power.]"That is highly unlikely. I don't have that ability."I felt in the midst of the shock. I opened my inventory to see if there was anything I could use against this golem.Motorbike, scent stone, happy spirit pendant, strength stone, dark elixir, hammer, sword, and arrow. My pistol had fallen somewhere. If only my Happy Spirit Pendant had reached level 10, I might have been able to use it to get lucky this t

[You must enter the gate immediately, Master. The gates will be closing soon.]I could faintly hear Newt's voice. I opened my eyes and saw the white circle in front of me shrinking. I stumbled towards the white hole. But after only a few steps, my body collapsed.My vision was blurred and the gate to Smoky Hollow was no longer clearly visible. I took a deep breath, although it was a little difficult, as if there was a big lump in my throat. I concentrated on being able to use my healing abilities. Shortly afterwards I felt my body warm up. When I opened my eyes, the white hole in front of me was clearly visible again.[You only have a few seconds left, Master. Ten... nine ....]I got up quickly and ran towards the gate, which was only about the size of a car tyre.[Four... three... two...]I breathed a sigh of relief as I managed to get inside the gate before it closed completely. And within seconds, I was transported. Although I managed to use the healing skill, my body had not fully
