"ugh... can't.. breathe.."
Ian's peaceful sleep came to an end at the suffocating pressure he was getting from all sides.
As he slowly opened his eyes, he finally knew why.
'I told them it'd be uncomfortable...'
Ian removed Canis from his chest, then untangled Eli from his leg and finally Jet, she wasn't on top of him like the other's, thankfully.
'Come back.'
He summoned them in and let them sleep a bit longer right next to his heart.
"These four..."
On his left, Ash, then right next to him, Arthur, on his right, Damon and then next to him Albert, all four of them were stuck closely to each other and clinging to Ian.
'I'll let them sleep a bit longer.'
Ian quietly got off the bath and went to the washroom to take a shower. He was pr

"Umm.. What do you mean by 'acted normal'...?"Albert, who had no idea about Ian's memory loss excuse, couldn't get the hang of it, the conversation between Ian and his parents, and asked back in curiosity.He wondered what they meant, why Ian would need to act normal and what was going on with the whole situation overall."Hmm...""Ahem.."The hesitant expression on Ian's parents made Albert even more confused. They kept staring at Ian as if they were waiting for him to guide them or give them permission of some sort. They looked fairly uncomfortable and at the same time eager to say something."You can tell him. I don't mind."Ian focused on the steak in front of him and spoke in a casual manner. He didn't want to lie so he passed the ball onto his parents who looked like they were eager to share some big secret with t

Ian knew what life was like for orphans. Since him and his brother had to live that life for decades. And he also knew how precious these little things were to someone like that. "So what numbers shall we pick for the draw?" "That's up to you. Here. I'll give you the papers. Art. Help me sort these out, will ya?" "......." "Hm?"

An Important Villain Meeting His Idol
'A Phoenix??? For real?!'Ian couldn't help but ask the voice inside his head in shock. Even the wings on his back fluttered strongly in response to his emotions.There were many fictional beings and creatures in fantasy novels, dragons, mermaid, fairy, werewolf, vampires etc. But if someone asked Noah what was his favorite, his answer would undeniably be"A Phoenix of course! They are the coolest."That was the reason Ian had such a huge reaction when he realized the possibility of a phoenix existing inside the novel.'Took you long enough.'Is all that voice said before going quiet. But he sounded a little happy, or so Ian sensed from the tone.'What?! Seriously? Is this true?'Ian was acting like a fan who had a chance meeting with his celebrity idol in a shopping mart. The only thing left was to ask for an autograph. And even though his previous reply confirmed his doubts, Ian still wanted to double, tripl
An Important Villain I'm going in
"Young master. Can I come in?"Someone knocked on the door. Ian flicked his finger and opened the door."What is it?"Ian asked without even moving his gaze from the book in his lap.

But umm.. will you go down there by yourself?"Ian planned on giving some special people a visit today so the preparation was going on. Ian closed the book in his hand and looked up to Corner from him comfortable seat."Yes. I need to see them for myself.""But it'll be dangerous by yourself. At least let me be by your side."Corner looked determined about something as he requested.'Hmm.. I gue

Ian was standing in front of a prison cell. As he grabbed the keys to the cell, he told Corner that he'd be going inside."Y-young master!"Corner hurriedly came and squeezed himself in between Ian and the Cell door."What's wrong?"Ian took a step back and asked."That's too dangerous! Please let me go in first."Corner pleaded. Seeing his earnest expression, Ian wondered what was wrong. Something about Corner was definitely off and Ian could feel it.The only problem was he couldn't exactly put his finger on what exactly had gone wrong. So he let things continue for now and handed the keys over to Corner."Go on.."Corner looked relived as he took the keys from Ian's hand. He then carefully unlocked the door and opened the door for Ian, after checking for himself th

Ian had instructed the chefs to find fruits that looked similar to cocoa and tasted bitter.After he gave them a short example on how it should be made, the talented chefs in the mansion managed to easily figure out the rest."I should put these items in our menu, right?"Ian asked Corner, who also had a bar of chocolate in his hand. He was reluctant to eat it in the beginning, but once he got a taste of it, Corner's worldview changed.He swore to never reject a food offered by Ian again."Menu?"Corner looked puzzled on what Ian was talking about."The restaurants I'm opening in the capital."
An Important Villain I'm not working too hard
As Vel, Neil and Venom looked at Ian with horror in their face, Ian raised an eyebrow in confusion.He hadn't done anything but scare them for a second so he couldn't understand why they were making such horrified expressions while looking at him."Are you guys okay?"He actually felt concerned after noticing how pale the trio looked. As he began to check their overall health status, he soon realised that they had many wounds and blood spots all over their body.Since Neil had gone through many interrogation, and Vel and Venom got beaten up personally by Ian and Rianne, all three of them were in a pretty bad state."Hey.. "He signalled for Corner to come close."Are their mana being restricted right now?"Ian asked a question that had been bothering him for a while now.

The very fact that Ian seemed to think so lowly of himself and not give a damn about his own health was making them feel uncomfortable.The other's were staying silent but their feelings weren't much different from theirs either. Everyone was worried about Ian."What...are you guys doing here?"Ian asked.
