"I had expected that you would come here." Mr. Vatic smiled at the stranger's arrival.The stranger pointed his gun at Mr. Vatic."It was as I was told; you would come. Thank you for coming here," Mr. Vatic said calmly. He felt no fear at all as the gun was pointed at him."Someone told you?" the stranger asked flatly."Yes.""Who was the person who told you?" Tell me!" The stranger looked curious about the figure Mr. Vatic was talking about."Instead of telling you, I'm sure you must know him well."The stranger's brow furrowed, and he tried to think of who that figure was. "I'm not in the mood to follow your riddle. Tell me clearly who that person is.""It seems that because you've been too dark-eyed, you don't remember who the person you most want to meet is," said Mr. Vatic."Enough fooling around up to here." The stranger was about to pull the trigger of his gun, but just as he was about to pull the trigger, Mr. Vatic tried to stop him."Before you kill me, let me give you this m
After Graiss left, Regen sighed heavily. He quickly showed his frustration again. His mind, which felt so heavy and twisted, was still unable to get rid of it.While the young man was too busy with his thoughts, someone passing in front of him suddenly fell. Seeing a figure fall in front of him, Regen immediately helped the person."Are you okay?" asked Regen worriedly. He helped the person get back to his feet."Ah, I guess I wasn't paying attention to the road. My head is a bit dizzy," he complained. The hot coffee he was carrying spilled and left a little stain on his clothes."You'd better be careful; you don't look well," Regen said, concerned."It's alright. Thank you for helping me." The man bowed his head.Regen smiled. "You're welcome. Oh, if you don't mind, you should rest first. Sit here; I'll buy you some tea. It looks like you're not in the best condition; I'm afraid you'll collapse again like before," he offered sincerely."If it's no trouble to you, I'm grateful. I apol
"Gosh, those words of yours are spicy. I think I'm going to have to buy some internal medicine to clear my throat." Regen was a little shocked at Halb's words. Halb just giggled at Regen's ridiculous words. It looks like today wasn't going to be too bad. Meeting someone fun like Regen was enough to cheer up his frantic mood. *** The galbitang felt so warm in Regen's throat. Halb's scathing words had made his throat feel dry and a little sore. Fortunately, the beef rib soup managed to cure his throat pain. "You seem to like it, Regen. But the soup is really good. It's been a long time since I've had anything this good," said Graiss. Regen smiled, giving a thumbs up while showing a satisfied look on his face. "Of course it's delicious. I'm glad you like it." Regen then turned to Halb, who was enjoying his soup. "What do you think?" he asked curiously. "It's good. It's quite satisfying," Halb replied calmly. He seemed to be enjoying the soup very much. "By the way, when I first came
"It's useless for you to cover up. I know that you have met someone behind my back," Fallen snapped.Regen swallowed his saliva. It was useless to cover things up behind Fallen's back. In the end, that person always got it right."I don't want to tell you. For once, the answer seems very clear: I don't want to let my mouth speak for you!" Regen refused firmly.Fallen's eyebrows raised on one side. Her facial expression seemed to change as if she were mocking. "Is that the answer a fool like you can give? That's a typical fool's answer." Fallen was slightly provoked, uncharacteristically showing her sensitive side."Are you offended?" Regen himself could hardly believe it, seeing Fallen acting uncharacteristically. He suspected that there was something that the man wanted to know."I know, it must be hard to get everything done easily when dealing with someone like you. But this is the truth. Ah, then let's take a look at hell together," said Fallen with a wide smile that looked a litt
"I don't understand you. But you're still worrying," the girl said with a flat face. Her facial expression often did not match her mood."I'm fine. What are you doing here anyway?" I asked her. I was still trying to calm myself down."Just happened to be passing by on this street and I happened to see you. That's all," she replied curtly."Oh."Nakamori looked at me with eyes that seemed to doubt me. "Seeing your condition, you shouldn't linger on the streets like this. I don't want the next morning to see news of a young man lying in the middle of the street in a terrible condition," he quipped."Yes. Then you'd better take me home. How about it?" I didn't intend to ask him to walk me, I just simply threw those words out because I was feeling a little annoyed by his treatment."Did you just say that to me?" Nakamori looked like she couldn't believe it.I nodded. But afterward, I somewhat regretted the words that came out of my mouth."Hold me firmly!" he ordered.I could barely swall
Regen swallowed his saliva with difficulty. His body could not move; it felt as if it were numb. Half-dead, he tried to move it, but it felt increasingly stiff and difficult to move. The shadow opened its mouth and let its vacuum cleaner-like mouth suck everything into its body. Regen rebelled as his body was almost dragged inside. He did not know what to do. It was as if there was a huge wind trying to suck him in. No matter how hard he tried, in the end, Regen himself felt unable to fight it anymore. His legs couldn't even hold his weight anymore. Not wanting to give up, Regen tried to scream for help to save himself. But for all his power, his voice did not come out. This was incredibly horrible. The shadow even made him mute. Regen was sure he had tried his best, trying to shout out his soprano voice. But in reality, he was unable to make a single sound from his mouth. Who was this strange and terrifying shadow figure? Was he the embodiment of a demon from hell? He couldn't ho
"I'm grateful to you. I hope you find happiness in yourself, too. I pray sincerely for you," she said filled with sincerity.Regen smiled as he took her hand and pressed it against his cheek. "Thank you also for praying for me. I hope you're doing well too," Regen replied no less sincerely.The woman then whispered in Regen's ear. Then she covered the young man's eyes with the palm of her hand. After that, everything went dark...***Fishy... the fishy smell was so strong and pierced the nose. Regen now woke up in a strange place that was no less scary than before. If before, he felt like he was in a mental hospital. Then this time he felt like he was in an old unused laboratory. At least that was what Regen could perceive at the moment."I'm lost now and I don't know how long I'll be stuck in a strange place like this," he complained desperately. Regen felt tired and like he was being trapped in a strange place over and over again.As he continued to walk, his eyes accidentally caugh
