Silently watching the dark red sky, Nekruis suddenly frowned. He was looking at the city when he felt a sensation of something breaking."Zeliker has eradicated the lock."Zapter behind him immediately looked stunned. He knew what Nekruis meant. Sweat covered his face while he stared at Nekruis.Nekruis let out a sigh and changed his gaze to his left arm. An old long gash was there, hidden behind his long sleeve. He can let it disappear if he wants to but he rather has it to remind him of his hopelessness. There were also other scars all over his body. No one other than Zapter, Alinda and his close friends know this fearless and powerful demon king would allow such things to smear his body. And the scars were a physical and mental punishment that Nekruis wanted to keep remembering forever."Do you want me to stop him, Your Majesty?" Zapter asked."... No. Maybe this is an opportunity for him."Reminiscing on the past, an unpleasant and anguish expression was displayed on Nekruis' f
Zeliker hopes nothing happened but…"Silvert!" Zeliker yelled out in horror.Silvert, who had his eyes closed, slowly opened slightly with pain. His lips have trickling blood coming out of them and looked very pale."Ze… Li… Ker…?" Silvert called with a hoarse painful voice.After seeing Zeliker's eyes brighten like usual, he couldn't help but burst out. Tears flood his eyes and drip down his face, making Zeliker bewildered by him."Zeliker…"He was glad. Extremely glad to see the normal Zeliker again. Unable to hold out any longer, he finally fainted."Silvert!"Zeliker called again yet the latter didn't open his eyes.Silvert's body had so many wounds, small and deep cuts everywhere, and also was bleeding nonstop. No part of his body was decent anymore.After absorbing the bitter memories, Zeliker awakened to reality and controlled his body again. He was startled seeing the mess before he realised he was choking someone with a body hanging in the air. After realising the person wa
Zeliker sat on the chair beside the bed between Flare and Silvert. His hands folded on his chest. His silence makes Flare cough awkwardly.“My apologies. I am a wandering adventurer. We have met in Shasui’s tavern before.” Flare explained politely.Zeliker already recognized them but he still doesn’t understand the friendly reaction coming from Flare. He had injured Flare and his friend. So, why didn’t Flare snap at him or try to kill him?“Where and how do you know me? Don’t let me repeat again or I will kill you.” Zeliker threatened.Flare wasn’t afraid at all because he trusted Zeliker won’t harm him. He went silent for a moment. “Your kidnapping accident has been known worldwide. It was impossible not to recognise you.”‘In meaning, you’re saying you have a good memory about my appearance, huh?’Zeliker felt like slapping the person in front of him. The way Flare talked was like he was questioning his intelligence.He doesn’t know why he felt very annoyed.“Aren’t you going to an
"This world is very fascinating. Full of life but… Living is either too hard or too easy. Such is the world of the fittest. And only the strongest being can move on..." A man of unknown age was looking at the magnificent palace in front of him.Since the beginning…The Flink Kingdom was one of the demon's strongest capitals. If a war between humans and demons ever occurs in another kingdom, that demon's kingdom will be helped by the Flink Kingdom. The outcome would always become their victory. And for proof, the Flink soldiers brought home their awards for helping that demon's kingdom. Ten men, three women, were presently caught alive by them. They were human soldiers. All their actions, limbs and even their mouths were sealed tightly so that none of them could flee. "Watch them! Their meat will be feasted on by our royal family tonight!" Ordered a demon captain to his underlings.  
An angry demon with shiny black hair, long to his waist, cut the two other demon's heads with his sword. Because they were supposed to be watching his son! Other demons who watched it were afraid and have paled at his cruelty. Their eyes scattered away from seeing it further. Not because they were sick of the punishment but because they didn't want the angry demon to notice them next. "I won't take not found as an answer to my son's disappearance! Either you all find him or die!" The angry demon roared as he swung his blood-covered black diamond blade, making the blood on his blade splatter to the dark floor beside him. His glowing red vertical eyes glared at the demons in his throne chamber. Nekruis Asterostes, Flink Kingdom's king and father to Zeliker Asterostes. He wore an all-black long breaker cardigan on him. Like Zeliker, he has pale skin but a breathtakingly
Gizelis rubs his neck. He looks embarrassed about something. Such appearance confused Zeliker more. He thought he would see the realm of death where other dead people gathered. Gizelis had a chance to do it. So why?"Why didn’t you kill me?" He asked again with a deep stare."Erm... Because you saved my life a few years back...""You're joking. Save you? Heh, I didn't save you. I just have enough playing with you." Zeliker's eyes went to the left when he said it.Gizelis stared at his reaction.What an obvious lie.He thought with a smirk on his lips."Oh, really then? Well, whatever. Now that you're awake I have to bring you to our king. Oh yeah. I need to remind you that you can't use your power, breach the collar or hurt anyone," he told Zeliker about the collar order.Does that mean I can run away?Zeliker's eyes lit up."No running away either..." Gizelis laughed at Zeliker's hopeful look.Zelike
Zeliker refuses to bow down or kneel in front of Sektar and his sons. He has his pride as a demon prince and he intends to keep it that way. He peeks around before staring at Sektar.Gizelis and Riseptos who in front of Sektar already kneel to their king."We have brought Flink's prince, Zeliker Asterostes, to meet you, Your Majesty," informed Gizelis.Sektar nodded. "Rise."Silvert and Gizelis stood up and went to stand on the side. They watch Zeliker who ignores everyone and the supposed etiquette.Will he be fine...?Gizelis didn't doubt it. After all, Zeliker doesn't seem to care about everyone watching him.Sektar stood up and went to Zeliker but not too close. He knows that even a collar can break loose if he wasn't careful. He wondered why this demon prince looks so calm and acceptable to be taken away from his home.What has made this demon prince look like this?There's no anger, violence or pressure released by
Zeliker curled his lips when Gizelis cleaned his wound with alcohol. It stings him hard like a poison. His body shook with sweat as he panted heavily. He has long forgotten the pain since the last time. And, he would have never thought after two years of living in Flink without doing anything would weaken his pain resistance. He. Really. Needs. More. Exercise!I can't believe he restrains himself from fainting.Gizelis felt admiration towards Zeliker without knowing Zeliker's internal complicated feelings."Enough Zeliker, let your body rest," Gizelis told Zeliker.Zeliker had to agree. He needs to rest and his body begs him too. He already felt some dizziness and was unwell. His sight also seems to turn darker and darker. At least Gizelis won't hurt him during his sleep since Gizelis didn't hurt him after he fainted either.In his own home, if he was only taking a few minutes of nap, some demon would ambush or assault him. It was a training lesson
