The chief healer tried to continue.
"There's more?"
Ian raised an eyebrow.
"Yes.. more of.. I'm not exactly sure what.. "
He replied in a confused voice.
"You don't know?"
Miller asked. The confusing conversation between Ian, the chief healer and Miller left everyone inside the room confused and curious.
The chief healer was one of the most skilled person in the entire kingdom. The only reason he wasn't setting up his own association or institute and instead serving the Dicarious family was due to gratitude.
Miller was someone who could easily be hailed as a hero, and was actually hailed as one of the greatest person's in not only the kingdom but the entire continent.
And in his lifetime, the number of people he has saved, rescued or helpe

An Important Villain Ian's Excuse
Miller and Olivia came into Ian's room late at night. Accompanying them were the healers and medics of the mansion.When Ian wondered about their reason for arrival, Miller expressed his worries about Ian's health and requested that he let them do a thorough checkup on him.Ian came to know that the original Adrian hated doctors and healers and would hardly ever agree to getting treated by them."It's fine. You can go ahead."Ian gave his permission and the chief of the healing team came forward. Ian saw the familiar face and recalled the first time he opened his eyes to this world.'Feels a little nostalgic.'So much time had already passed. Noah had no one back then. The only thing he could count on was his knowledge about this world.And now, he was surrounded by people. To the extent that he barely had an

"These are...""Your familiars.. hmm..""Oh my! Are they the kids that came out of those eggs?!"As Miller and the chief healer contemplated over the situation, Olivia looked surprised and happy to see the three kids.She came forward and started observing them with eyes full of curiosity and sparkle. Seeing how eager she was while observing them, Ian gave them the signal to approach Olivia.Canis, who was lazily resting in Ian's arm, raised his head and looked back towards Olivia after receiving Ian's signal. Although he was the least active and calmest member of the trio, he was also the one with the most maturity."You can touch them."As Canis offered his head forward, Ian gave Olivia the signal she was waiting for. As she saw how Canis closed his eyes, she couldn't help but place her hands on his head.

"I came out to take a walk. It's stuffy inside."Ian said while stretching. He was feeling stiff after staying inside the underground prison for a long time."You were taking a walk?"Seeing Corner's constipated expression, Ash frowned and asked again."That's right."Ian moved slightly and blocked Corner from their view. That guy was too bad at lying so Ian took it upon himself to cover for him."What about you guys? All of you together, did something happen?"Ian asked as he started walking once again. He had to go back to his bedroom before the people in front of him made even a bigger fuss."Nothing happened.""It was a coincidence."Arthur and Ash replied simultaneously. Seeing the villain hero pair in such sync, Ian had a weird feeling in his stom
An Important Villain Accusations Against Ian
"Monster..? .... Me?" Ian pointed towards himself. Miller turned his head around in shock after realising that Ian was right behind him and had heard the whole thing. And not just Miller, everyone present there had the same reaction when they became aware of Ian's presence. Ian wondered what was going on as he approached Miller and the Second Prince. Since it was an event outside of the original storyline, Ian felt a little uneasy. "Son.. why'd you come out.. I'll handle this so you can go inside and rest." Miller looked troubled and worried about Ian as he tried to shield him from the Prince. "Cedric? Why are you here? And what's all this commotion about?" Albert also approached them from behind and tried to understand what was going on. Since Ian's family was one that was loyal to the Kingdom and the King
An Important Villain Royal Order
"Wow.. How convenient.."Ian looked amazed as he heard the Second Prince, Prince Cedric spout nonsense. Seeing his unbothered expression, Prince Cedric frowned in displeasure."What do you mean by convenient?"He asked."I mean, the fact that they willingly surrendered and revealed my name, specifically, like that.. Sounds a little unnatural, no?"Ian couldn't help but laugh at how absurd the whole thing sounded. Anyone with the least bit rationality left in them would find a situation like this suspicious.But the fact that the second prince wasn't questioning the situation made him look suspicious instead, at least to Ian."That is obviously a lie."Corner protested from the side. And Miller joined in."As you may have learned from the reports I sent, my son has bee

"You're going this way."Cedric beckoned Ian. Miller was going to have an audience with the King to get an explanation for his absurd Royal Order while Ian was to be sent to the room where he will stay for the next three days."Sure."Ian had his hands in his pocket and was walking in a leisurely manner. No way did he look like a person who was accused of treason, the worst crime in the Kingdom's dictionary."Son..."Miller had a pained look as he looked at Ian. Thinking about having to let Ian go through another bad experience after he has endured so much already made Miller feel frustrated."I'm counting on you, father. Make sure you get me out of here in three days. I have a lot of work left to do."Ian gave him an energetic look and then headed off to the other direction. And the moment Ian left, the te
An Important Villain The Quickest Method
The trial begun.The Second Prince had his men stand against Ian and list out all of his past deeds one by one. The Adrian of the past had caused a lot of trouble and made enemy out of many people.And although he wasn't the only one to blame, since you can't clap with one hand, the other party's were presented as victims or less guilty.But Ian wasn't listening. He wasn't paying any attention to what the second prince's men were speaking at all.The only thing within his focus was how Miller and Olivia either had their head hung low or how they were avoiding making eye contact with Ian.'Why...are they acting like that?'Ian couldn't understand. He couldn't understand why his parents, the very people who had their eyes full of love and concern for him even three days ago, now looked at him with those expressions.

Ian returned. After wondering the continent for half a year, he came back with a 'Bang!'. Right when the nobles all around the country gathered to 'show the hero his place', Ian returned. Crazy hypothesises such that Ian being a Devil worshipper, betraying the country and being on the run or that he's actually a demon etc etc all came to an end as he openly took Arthur's side and threatened the other nobles.Of course, most of those rumours weren't too far off the mark. Ian did prefer villains over heroes, demons over angels, he had no love for their country and lastly, he was a darkness ability user with a twisted moral sense. And! To top it all off, he also preferred these rumours over ones that would hail him as a hero. he'd rather be on the run after being called a demon rather than be called a hero and worshipped. Again, twisted morality. But he couldn't do that this time. There were too many people using his name so he couldn't just let it be as those people got treated bad

"It's been a week since young master lost consciousness."Rob wrote in his diary as he sighed. There was a heavy atmosphere surrounding the duchy ever since the day Adrian fell down from the roof and went into a coma. How or why it happened was still a mystery around the duchy but speculations about an attempted suicide was slowly spreading around. Rob didn't believe them though. The Adrian he knew was too selfish and arrogant to do something like that. Yet, even when he was so sure, a small part of his mind kept lingering over that quiet and motionless room where Adrian was."Ah.. It's been a while."With that, Rob went to take another look at the sleeping Adrian for the 36th time that day. Although he was telling himself that Adrian's situation wasn't that serious, that he'd wake up soon, as he tried to remember all the bad things Ian did in his short lifetime just to mask his worry, he didn't even realise that he was unconsciously heading towards Ian's room again.

The Chosen One
Things Ian did(Unintentionally or intentionally) that influenced the future of Arthur's world: First of all, although the effect wasn't that eye-catching at the moment, Ian was going to be known as the figure that erased racial discrimination. Due to him giving shelter to people of all age and race, and the humans around him having constant changes in their views and perspective, it was going to be the seed that erased all future discrimination and racial profiling. Secondly, he was going to be known as the bridge between Humans and the Demons. The Queen of the Demons, Ash's mother who had gone back to the demon world to deal with some 'internal affairs' would soon return with an actual offer of friendship between the demons and the humans. It was Bela's way of showing gratitude to the people who had taken care of her son in his times of need. Ian's love for Ash was plain as day and the care and gentleness he showed when dealing with him was no different from what a parent woul

"What..?""That's absurd!""Is that sorcery? Does he think he can fool us so easily?!"There were looks of disbelief, shock and confusion on everyone's faces as they looked at Ash. But no matter how tough they acted or how oblivious they tried to be, the bone chilling aura coming from Ash that slowly filled the room was undeniable. It was an aura that was impossible for any human to manifest, dark and scary."It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not.""I'm not the one behind bars looking at lifetime imprisonment and possible death sentence."Ian shrugged his shoulders in a casual manner as he signaled for Ash to stop. He was only here to give these people a chance. A chance at repentance. If they refuse to grab it, he didn't care less whether they died or lived inside a cage forever. 'Human resources are valuable after all.'That was one of the other reasons why Ian was here. He wanted to bind all these people under contract and have them serve the country. It didn't sit right

The Real Deal
"You're gonna let them go?" Arthur asked, conflicted, as he looked at Ian. They were currently in an underground prison, the biggest prison that was made on Ian's request under the Duchy. The war criminals, the cult members, were being held here. Seven days had already passed since Ian's soul returned to his body. He was forced to have complete bedrest this whole time by his parents and the kids. They finally let him go after he managed to manipulate them emotionally with everything he had. It was a difficult job indeed. But nothing was impossible for Ian. "Let them go? NO?" Ian asked back in utter shock instead. But it wasn't Arthur's fault that he misunderstood. Ian did indeed say something that could be easily misinterpreted. "But you just said 'It's time to go out.'..?" That's what he said. To the criminals. Not that he meant it literally. "To the hall. TO.THE.HALL." Ian repeated himself twice, once for the criminals and once for Arthur. Everyone captured already had

A Good Kind of Pain
Ian's time with the kids were cut short as the Dicarious couple arrived in a haste. A part of Ian was happy to see them again after so long. But a part of him was also wondering if they really were there for Ian. What if they were expecting their son to come back? What if the person they expected to see coming to his senses was Adrian and not him? How disappointed they would be. With a mixture of these various emotions coursing through his mind, he failed to make any type of expression when faced with those two people. Neither could he smile wholeheartedly nor apologize and cry. The kids were guided outside by Arthur and Albert, giving Ian and his parents the room to themselves. Ash was reluctant to leave seeing Ian's expression, but the atmosphere was too heavy for him to interfere. So while everyone else went to another room, he stayed, waiting while standing outside Ian's room. The others also didn't force him to leave since they didn't know which was better. "Are you

Glad to be Back
"YOU!"Smack!"THOUGHTLESS!"SMACK!"BAS-! JER-!! PERSON!"Ian had to wake up from his peaceful sleep with the sound of someone's shout along with the obnoxiously loud yet not so painful smacking of the pillows."Ow ow ow.. what the hell...?""Huh?""I'm back?"Ian woke up rubbing the back of his head that was the victim of continuous battering and looked around. The changed bedroom and the familiar faces made him aware of the fact that he had indeed come back. "What?""What are you talking about, young master? You didn't go anywhere."Both Albert and Arthur looked concerned as they checked Ian's status for any abnormalities. Only after multiple checking did they finally sigh in relief. "Ah no.. ""Hey guys.. Long time no see?"Ian greeted the kids and the Prince and the Knight all together while leaning back on his bed. The one responsible for the ruthless battering from before still had a massive pout on their face as they silently glared at Ian. "Are you angry? I'm sorry. How lo

A Week Without Ian
Ian enjoyed the tea from hell while having a long and informative conversation with death, or at least that's who he assumed the other person was. He learned about the past that he had locked away and the people he had forgotten. But it all felt distant, like he was viewing the life of somebody else. "Why did I do that? Lock my memories?"Ian was curious. Just by watching the memories of Noah's future, he could tell that he lived a pretty okay life. The daughter he adopted also turned out to be great. She became his family. These were precious memories. So he couldn't understand why he'd lock them up like this. "After I presented you with my request, this is what you told me."Death continued showing Ian another set of completely different memories. An old man, wrinkly hand, white hair, hazy eyes. The room looked similar to the one he was in right now, and so was the person in front of them. "The me right now cannot save a world.""The blade has already lost it's edge.""I've grow

Unfiltered Memories
"What do you mean by welcome back?"Ian asked, confused. As far as he could remember, never before in his life did he see this man or these scenes. And these weren't circumstances that he'd forget 'by chance' either. "After your first death, you came here.""First death.. Ah.. When I jumped down the bridge?"Ian remembered his last moments as Noah. The music that played, the scenery he watched on top of that bridge, they were all very memorable. Yet, he had no memory of coming to this place.But unlike Ian's thoughts, the guy in front of him shook his head in denial. Not understanding exactly which part he was denying, Ian tilted his head to the side slightly."What death are you talking about then?""You didn't die back then."The guy sat down on the bed, facing Ian and the endless hell behind him as he spoke. "When you were at the verge of losing consciousness, you heard a childs cry.""A child?""Yes. It was the final monster outbreak." Ian wondered what this guy was talking abo
