“It’s rare for you to ask me things unrelated to your hidden plans.”
Elmina crossed her arms and ‘sat’ on the empty seat opposite Bin. Her illusory figure passed through the chair but she did not care, her eyes currently fixated on the expressionless youth.
It was the first time Bin had asked her a question related to her previous world. That is, excluding the time she spoke about her past. His sudden curiosity about the calamity that befell her home-world was confusing, to say the least, as it was totally out of the blue and unexpected.
Including the two of them, only Betelgeuse was present in the hotel suite. Raymond went to M-nation to check on his student, Rika, whereas Beatrice went shopping.
“There’s n
The girl arrived at the restaurant and got seated, appearing quite bored. She looked at the menu for a second before shifting her gaze elsewhere, precisely on a young waiter, who was busy dealing with the other customers.The place was bustling but not very loud… time crept by until the moment she was waiting for arrived. The waiter from before approached and, as misfortune would have it, tripped and fell, the plate of paste on his hand flew into the air then crashed into the ground.The food spilled all over the girl’s new dress but she remained calm, her eyes narrowed as they coldly looked at the flustered youth.Everything was so vivid, as if it was happening for the first time, but it was a stretch to call it reality. Yet, at the same time, it could not be c
“What is this place?”Even without being told, Jasmine instinctively followed the red-haired young man, deeming safer than remaining alone in this unfamiliar and eerie place.“The Magicis Ignaro, I’m assuming you have heard of it, yes?”Jasmine thought for a moment before nodding once. The information regarding the Magicis Ignaro was very limited, more so for Jasmine, who did not go out of her way to investigate it.This separate dimension, which was unbound from the outside laws, was like an enigma. Either it’s Bin, Shin, Raymond, or even the Immortal Facility as a whole, none knew the true origin of this place or what caused its creation.
When she came back to her senses, Jasmine was in a totally different environment. She was no longer in the Magicis Ignaro, her confused and startled gaze landed on the battlefield before her.She felt physical exhaustion weigh down on her body, her breathing was heavy and, in her hand was a blood-soaked sword. Unfortunately for her, she wasn’t given the time to collect her thoughts or assess the situation as an armored figure rushed at her and stabbed his sword.With danger closing in on her, Jasmine instinctively backed away and raised her sword, however, such clumsy movements weren’t enough. This unfamiliar female body she was currently in ended up getting stabbed right into its right shoulder.Due to the excruciating pain, Jasmine dropped her weapon and
Again and again, Jasmine kept dying, it was like a never-ending nightmare. She was trapped here and did not know how to escape this battlefield. Even after so many deaths, Jasmine did not feel numbness, no, quite the opposite in fact, each death was agonizing and deeply engraved in her mind.On her 9th try, she finally managed to kill a soldier but ended up dying too. The shock from stabbing the sword at the man’s head was vivid in her mind, making her shake and hyperventilate.14th try, Jasmine killed yet another soldier but she was still panicking and unable to cope with this reality. Slowly but surely, the innocent girl, who was forced into this situation, got used to this battlefield. That doesn’t mean she accepted it, she just could bear through it and fight for her survival. “It’s about time, no?” Beatrice slowly put down the fork and knife as she finished eating dinner, her eyes drifting toward the youth sitting opposite her. It wasn’t just her who was focused on him, Betelgeuse, Raymond, and Elmina were also staring at him. Four pairs of eyes glued onto his face, which didn’t react the slightest. After a few breaths of silence, Bin cleared his throat and proclaimed “We will attack the Blood Facility after five days and we will leave for Russia in two days.” “You finally open your mouth! Hmpf.” Beatrice snorted and rebuked the youth, her hands balling into a tight fist. Elmina kept looking at Bin whereas Raymond stooLife as A Servant Chapter 297 : Royal Soldiers
The International Magic Bureau, an association created by the leading countries of the world. It is the only organization capable of rivaling Abyss, either in terms of numbers or strong magic-users. Usually, the IMB doesn’t interfere with politics or gets involved in personal matters between magic-users, however, there are a list of things it doesn’t condone and declared as taboo, black magic being at the top of this list.Regina made use of various connections to inform the IMB about Bin’s location, she also leaked some information about his condition, which originates from the black magic ritual invented by Gandar.Obviously, the bureau cannot sit still and let Bin be, therefore, with the cooperation of the german government, they sent a squad of magic-users to apprehend him.
‘Twas night and the port was eerily quiet and empty, that is, except for a few shady individuals, Bin being one of them. He had a decently-sized backpack on his back and wore casual clothes.“You didn’t get followed, right?”An ugly man with a little bit of hair left on his scalp swiftly counted the money while softly the butt of a newly lit cigarette. He scanned Bin from head to toe before motioning to the boat behind him.Forced to flee from the hotel suite, which had all the forged documents had previously provided, Bin now has to smuggle himself to Russia.The money he just paid was stolen from a couple of the passersby. Counting the day the Bureau appeared at the entrance of
15 minutes after Bin attacked the Blood Facility, someone appeared at the entrance of the building and stopped for a second to look at the melted bodies and burning blue flames.“What am I going to do with him?”Thomas shook his head and entered the building, spotting even more bodies, including that of the Royal Soldier. It was a one-sided massacre, pools of blood everywhere and destruction at every corner. As he was about to teleport underground, the whole building shook intensely and started crumbling on itself, forcing the principal to teleport outside.…Meanwhile, two hundred meters underground, Bin was battling three Royal Soldiers simultaneously. Two of them were capable of attacking from
Bin’s eyes fluttered then slowly opened. He felt weight on his thighs and chest and when he looked down, he saw Jasmine sound asleep. She had a habit of hugging him in the middle of sleep and half of her body would be pressed against his. It has been a year and a half since they started dating and the embarrassment of sleeping naked or half-naked was no more. Their relationship only got better and they even moved to a new place with Nina, though it wasn’t far from Emilia and Elise. He wasn’t interested in getting a proper job, nevertheless, he did find an entertaining habit, which was quickly developed. With Jasmine’s support and Bert’s countless acquaintances, Bin had opened a cozy small café in a relatively empty street. It wasn’t the best of locations, but he did not care. Bin was fo
Brule River Boreal Forest State, Russia. The forest, excluding wild beasts, was generally devoid of humans. However, today, it was the total opposite. The Russian Government dispatched its military and barricaded the huge region. Jets were flying through the air, trying to scout the ground and eliminate the legions of Pests stationed around the river and in-between the countless trees. However, the most eye-catching thing was the crimson crack hanging in the sky, its blood-red light outshining even the sun. Its mere presence brought for a foreboding and eerie atmosphere as well as a thick fog of the same color. Although well-equipped, the Russian Government did not act recklessly or rashly. They kne
“I won’t be away for long, okay?” “Promise?” Nina, looking a bit sad, lowered her head and tried not to cry. To appease her, Bin gave her a tight hug and repeatedly reassured her that everything will be alright. It has been ten days since his return to Earth and though no one forced him to act, he deemed now as the right time to get rid of the Rifts once and for all. Fortunately, there were no spotted Rifts in M-nation, therefore, Bin would soon have to leave for other countries. “Next time, I’ll bring you to fun places! I will bring gifts back with me, too!” Jasmine also hugged Nina and playfully pulled her c
“Sorry for the wait.”-Angelica “It’s fine.” Replied Bin as he sat back down next to Jasmine and smiled at her parents. While they discussed things, he spent some time chatting with the servants and managed to clear things up with Hyue. It was a good decision to come here and mend past relationships now that he was moving on and turning a new leaf. Unlike earlier, Theodore looked calmer but he was still glaring at him. As for Angelica, her expression was never-changing and, as always, unreadable. “My husband and I are not against your relationship, Bin. I only ask that you take good care of her.” “It shall be done, Madam.” “It better do! If I hear
Bin and Jasmine walked for a while before they returned to the car.“I should be the one ‘walking you home’. Sadly, I don’t have a driver’s license.”Bin sighed and watched as she drove him back to the villa. The trip back home felt brief as they talked on the way, but when they reached their destination, the two were silent.“If you have nothing to do, let’s meet tomorrow.” Suggested Bin as he looked at the white-haired Silver Dragon.Of course, Jasmine agreed with a meek nod. As he was about to get off, she abruptly stretched her arm and grabbed his, thus making him halt his actions.“Jasmine?”
Late at night, after the family had dinner and everyone retreated to their rooms, Bin went downstairs and, as he had expected, found Emilia in the kitchen. She absent-mindedly looked at the dining table and not even his arrival was noticed. Only when he pulled a chair and sat right next to her did she twitch and look at him. “Mother, you’re still worried?” He faintly smiled and gently grasped her hands, which eased the frown on her face. “How can I not be when my son refuses to listen to reason? Everytime, I get to see you for a brief time and then you leave.” “
Barely half a day after he woke up, Bin was in perfect health. However, Ann insisted that stays for two additional days, to which he nodded in obedience. As expected, he received many visits from Bert and the rest. Elise and, especially, Emilia, came every couple of hours to check on him and bring food. “Umm… so, there’s a matter that warrants an explanation. But, I think it’s better to wait till you come home.” Elise, fidgeting, peeled an orange while uttering those vague words. “It would have been better if you stayed silent.” “I was just warning you. At least, that way, you won’t be as surprised. Just brace yourself… okay?” Life as A Servant
When Bin finally regained his consciousness and opened his eyes, he found himself in an overly-extravagant and spacious hospital room. He took a couple of seconds to look around before slowly sitting up.He wasn’t particularly injured and the overwhelming exhaustion he was subjected to prior and after opening the portal was completely gone, fortunately.“Bin.”Somewhat softly called out to him, thus did his gaze jump to the source of the voice. He was facing Elise, Emilia, and, unexpectedly, the now grown-up Ryne. The three were sitting on a wide leather sofa and chatting quietly only to be startled by his sudden awakening.His mother ran to his side and supported him, fearing that he was experiencing pain. Life as A Servant
“Hurry up, Bin!” Although she was fending off the horde of Pests, Jasmine could not fight forever. She remained close to Bin and continuously swung her sword at any incoming enemies. At the same time, Bin was strengthening his connection with the white crystal. Slowly but surely, a gentle wave of white light flowed from within his body and started taking the shape of a human-sized portal. Unfortunately, Jasmine was reaching her limits and ended up getting blasted far away. Her body crashed on the ground and rolled a couple of times. Although she hastily got back on her feet and ran back, it wasn’t fast enough to stop the Pests from reaching Bin. With all his concentration focused on the connection, Bin could not defend himChapter 495 : Reunion
