—Everyone, please hold on.~Clap Clap!The host stopped accepting bids and clapped his hands. Guests started focusing on him and voicing their displeasure because of the sudden interruption.The host, though, simply grinned and began speaking after ensuring that he had everyone's full attention.—I apologise for interrupting everyone again, but I haven't completed providing the product's whole introduction.He made dramatic hand motions in Luna's direction. After which the he spoke once again.—I want to let everyone know that this item is a little unique, since, despite her young age, she is already a half Awakened.—Its definitely one of a kind. And, we have already verified that the girl has mana in her body, and she is able to perceive it too, but because she is only partially awakened, we are unable to assess her potential rank and super-powers."At such a young age, half-awakened?""It is definitely great.""Hello, this little girl is mine."The VIP guests began muttering once a
With a face twisted in disdain, a voice filled with rage leaked out from Luna's white teeths.Drrr! Crung!Around the stage, there was a slight vibration in the Mana.The Hosts and other guests were focused on the bid, thus they were unaware of the sound.'Ohh.'But my eyes sparkled as I fixed them on Luna.I and Sylvia could clearly see the mana trembling furiously around Luna. It appeared to be moving as a result of Luna's rage.'That is it.'The power of Dragon bloodline that destroyed the human army and killed countless Slayers in the original timeline.Since Luna was still young and probably had been only learning how to use her abilities, her emotions were most likely causing her powers to respond.However, given the current circumstances, there was a great risk as well with the current situation.I was not sure if Luna was even sold in this auction in the original timeline, or if everything that was happening now was the result of regression's butterfly effect.But one thing w
August, one of the twelve faction leader for [Lost Night], was gritting his teeth in annoyance as he saw the Bid rise once again.At first, everything went according to his plan. He came to this auction today to purchase the lost book [Twilight orb], about which he had learned from one of his sources.Due to his current workload of managing all the information, and the search for the experimental girl who ran away from their lab and was eventually captured by the Slayers when his team members attempted to find her, he was already tensed.Because of the missing girl, all operations and plans related to her came to a halt which was a huge loss for the organisation, and August, who was in charge of collecting information and analyzing data, was given the task of finding the kid.August exerted every resource at his disposal, but the girl's situation remained unknown even after quite some time. He became even more discouraged and anxious as a result. He reasoned that humans might have b
"This...."Even Sylvia, who was unsure of the precise value of the Monster cores that were being announced, knew how valuable they must have been after seeing me place such a high offer and hearing the raucous applause from the Host.And even though the [Lost Night] member that arrived here was not really willing to let go of Luna when I raised the bid too high each time on my turn, my method nonetheless worked on him, and I eventually won at 1000 kgs.~Sigh!'I genuinely believed that I would need to fight for her for a little while longer.'After I won the auction, the stage crew began transporting Luna, and thankfully I prevented the worse case scenario.But now I was faced with yet another dilemma: 'should I stay and wait for a few more items, or should I leave once I had Luna?'It was a fact that my head was completely overloaded for choosing an option because each choice had advantages and disadvantages.But no matter what, I can't make Sylvia see these facial expressions."Syl
Bzzzz...!!( Noah ..... Noah.... Hello....?? )After puking blood, I was about to lose consciousness and was kneeling on the floor when my vision started to get blurred.It was then.My ears began to buzz before Sylvia's voice suddenly appeared like a beacon of light for me. Dragging me out of the sea of darkness, and helping me regain my bearings.( Noah??... Are you alright? )I became aware of how careless my behaviour actually was when I heard her voice being so concerned and frightened. There was a possibility that Luna could have killed me today if I had fallen unconscious, no matter how insignificant. The Lost Night may have even attacked the Venue in an effort to find Luna.After thinking along those lines, which gave me the goosebumps, I quickly glanced in the direction of Luna and quickly responded to Sylvia."Y-yeah. I'm doing fine. Have you arrived safely?Luna was perplexedly staring at my blood on the floor, but when she spotted my gaze on her that expression instantly
After that the Auction continued.Luna also sat down in her place, thinking about my proposal, she didn't asked me anything, her mind in itself was working in her own ways.--"Romero's Dose" VIP room number 12 is the winner and had successfully won the bid.The waitress entered my room and handed the item after I won the bid on another thing I thought was useful.Although the cost of the item wasn't particularly exorbitant, I had to utilise my unique monster cores to make the purchase because I had already used all of my ordinary monster cores when buying Luna."Please wait, I would immediately bring you the change for the remaining amount of your purchase.""Don't worry, keep the balance for the time being; I'll buy a few more things. You could then settle the remaining balance after that.""...Alright"After a brief period of hesitation, the waitress decided to comply. Perhaps this was the first time such a suggestion had been made to her where the excess balance was kept of an uniq
"Who's your father?"Noah was baffled by Luna's abrupt change of heart, which occurred in such a brief space of time that she was suddenly referring to him as her father.He couldn't believe that this was the same girl who had been nearly enraged to insanity and was about to kill the him only minutes earlier."You.."She pointed at him, and spoke in her cute cheerful voice, it was such a sweet voice that could melt the heart of anyone who heard her."Why?"Noah's eyebrows twitched in bewilderment as he saw this shameless girl acting so lovey dovey to himself, and was literally clutching to his arms." Then, you.... really want to use me as a slave?"Luna, who had been calling Noah, father, with joy the moment before, was now back to her sorrowful expression and her eyes were once more filled with tears that were about to fall and trace her cheeks."Listen, I don't want to use you as a slave, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't use my powers as your master on you, if I had to.... so stop
"..!! Dragon Transformation?"Luna questioned inquisitively, raising an eyebrow, as though she wanted to know about how I knew the name of her transformation.Dragons were mythological creatures that went extinct long ago, even now, most people were not aware of their existence, and even in this Apocalypse they believed them to be only imaginary.Despite the fact that it was understandable to Luna, for me to be aware of her powers through someway, but her small brain at her age was unable to comprehend how I came to know the name of the creature, which only she was aware of after her transformation."Wasn't that a dragon's claw, that your hand just transformed into?""Ah!"Luna seemed to understand that I had recognized her transformation from earlier which made her a bit relax but still she was confused about many things, and I had still not provided a definitive response to her and had only hinted subtly that I was aware of her secrets.Which left her quite bewildered."That... its
