“What the heck?” Xander pouted when he saw his sister grinning from ear to ear. “You made me worried for nothing.”
“Who told you to worry?” Andrei, Xander’s elder brother, asked with a smirk on his face.
“Whose idea is this?” Xander laughed as he watched his younger cousins play with the balloons. The surprise party looked like a children's party but it didn’t matter for him. As long as the dessert corner was good, he would be happy.
“What kind of an idiot would even forget that it was his birthday?” one of his younger cousins teased him.
“Well, I’m already so busy with school and work and you still thought that I have the spare time to think about birthdays?” Xander looked smug, but for Erin, Kane, and Ed, he was nothing more than an adult trying to pick a fight with a child.
“So, why did you end up planning a surprise party for me? I’m no longer

Erin smiled as she looked at the two in the rearview mirror while Eren smirked when he noticed his sister’s expression.“Stop looking at them like a proud mom,” Eren teased his sister in a whisper.“What are you saying?” Erin rolled her eyes as she took her phone and connected it to the Bluetooth. She played the music on her playlist and hummed to ignore his brother’s teasing eyes.Eren averted his attention to Kane who was silently looking outside the window.“Kane, is it fine to drop you at the stop near AC? I forgot I’m on coding today so there were routes I’m not allowed to pass.” Eren sneaked a g

“How dare you!” The man took a step away from him and turned to face him. He stood in a fighting stance and was prepared to use his whip anytime.“Attack him!” the other four attack him altogether but everyone was just too slow in his eyes.He had not fully accepted that he was an S-class, but his body was saying otherwise. His eyes, his perception, his senses, and even his ability. He could feel a big difference from his old self than when he was still a D-rank.Kane did nothing but dodge his attackers. He did not attack since he was not fully acquainted with his newfound skill and he did not want to overdo it.“When are you going to stop?” he asked the people who were just attacking him nonstop.“We won’t stop until you die!”On that last attack, Kane did not dodge. He accepted the full brunt of the whip by just using one of his arms. He heard the impact of the whip, but he did not feel
Languid Kane Chapter 48: Memory Lost
Kane could feel as if his head was tearing apart as he tried to open his eyes. He groaned in pain as he reached for his head and coiled like a kid in the bed.“Kane, are you all right?”He heard a worried voice from behind him but he could not open his eyes from the pain. He groaned louder and held his head tight. Why was the pain not decreasing? Why did it feel like his skull was being drilled in?“Argh!” He gritted his teeth trying to alleviate the pain even just for a little but nothing worked. The voice that kept on calling him was just making the pain in his head even worse. “Shut up!”He kept turning on the bed. He was in so much pain that he wished to end it no matter what the cost. Dying would be better than that pain!“Kane?”“I said shut up!” he yelled as he covered his head with a pillow. No matter what he did, the pain was still there and it was just getting worse.<
Languid Kane Chapter 49: Questions
Kane woke up after a few hours of sleep and he was welcomed by the bittersweet aroma of coffee. He opened his eyes and saw the girl named Erin seated on the couch near the bed—drinking coffee while reading a book.“You’re awake now?” Erin smiled and stood up. She opened a lunchbox and gave it to Kane. “You should eat first.”“I still don’t remember you.” Kane took the lunchbox and tear open the plastic that held the disposable spoon and fork. “You are my friend, right?”Erin smiled and nodded. “It’s okay if you don’t remember. Xander and I will help you recover.”“Who is Xander?” Kane asked as he took a spoonful of rice and a bite of meat.“He is one your friends. The three of us were close enough to spend time and eat at your place after classes.” Erin took a sip of her coffee as she continued to watch him eat.While munching on
Languid Kane Chapter 50: What did He do?
“What do I want to do from now on?” Kane mumbled to himself as he dropped himself on the bed. It was past midnight but his mind was still active and he could not sleep.He looked outside the window and sighed. He had no family that would look for him. He was a test subject. He only had two friends. There might be a heavy reason why his mind decided to shut down and bury all his memories. Would it be worthy to continue to live how he lived before?He sighed. He was not sure if losing his memories was a sign for him to not pursue his old life. Mr. Romero explained to him that his memory loss was caused by a psychological phenomenon and not because of physical trauma. It meant that his mind was caused to shut down by a certain experience.Would giving up his old life be the right answer? He was not sure, but he wanted to know the answer soon. He needed to tread carefully since his life would change exponentially depending on his decision.Kane wo

“Kane!” Mr. Romero called out to him with his eyes wide open. It was already his second time witnessing the bloodthirsty side of Kane. He only read about such phenomenon in journals since he had no opportunity to witness it, but it seemed like Kane was in the process of devouring.“Mr. Romero…” Kane trembled as if he was just realizing what he had been doing. He looked at the people on the ground, swimming in their own blood. “I swear… I didn’t intend to end up this way.”Kane was afraid. It was as if there was a monster inside him that took over. He indulged himself with the pleasure of bringing pain to others without really thinking of the consequences. One thing was sure—he was not in his right mind while he did that.“It’s good that you still have your rational self,” Mr. Romero said as he called Abner to clean up Kane’s mess again. “Can you tell me what happened on t
Languid Kane Chapter 52: Bad News
Erin looked at the clock and sighed. She still had two hours until they were dismissed. Her mind was already on AC and she just wanted the time to pass so that she could go there and visit Kane.“Have you heard the news?” Xander sat beside her. It was their last class and it happened to be a joint class with Erin’s class.“News about? If it was something unnecessary, you don’t have to share it with me.” Erin docked her head on the table.“It’s about AC. I heard that they have a valuable test subject in their research department and that the subject had been assassinated last night.” Xander pulled his lollipop out of his mouth before he faced Erin. “Don’t you think it was a waste? That was a valuable test subject that would help deepen AC’s understanding of awakeners, but now it’s dead.”Erin looked at Xander with wide-open eyes. “What did you say?”&ldqu

The sun was about to rise when the plane landed. Kane took his bag and went out of the plane with an expectant heart. He knew that he was still two hours away from his destination but he was already in the capital city of the southwest region.“Mr. Kane Silva?” A man in a suit was holding a cardboard with his new name on it. “I am Clay Ronaldo and I was the one sent by Mr. Romero to bring you to your apartment.”Kane nodded his head and followed him.
