“Hey sir! Hey!”

“Take a look at our latest Circruit Stabilizer! For only Sixty Crysts, you’ll be able to efficiently control your Mana and strengthen your circuit!”
“I’m not interested.”
Bin was touring the busy streets of the city. Despite the looming doom, the stalls and shop owners were surprisingly enthusiastic. They were trying their best to sell their products to any passerby, especially the new faces like Bin.
Bin had been stopped four times already, and despite kindly rejecting their offer, they would pester him in an annoying manner. They would latch onto him and use honeyed words to e
“You’re going to regret this!”Lenna was walking beside his friend Arbert with Bin right behind them. The two youngsters wanted to call for help but the street was devoid of passerby and they could be instantly killed if they tried anything, or so Bin repeatedly assured.“Less talking and more walking.”Bin had his hands on their shoulders, making sure they remained close and obedient. Though their conversation was brief, at least he got to know how they were planning to enter the institute without going through the machines, which were actually called Automated Golems.They diverged from the main path and entered a bushy area adjacent to the high fence surrounding the institute. Arbert
“P-professor Tanna is a teacher here… she… she…”“Don’t tell me the superficial stuff. I want to know about her full name, status here, and so on…”Arbert pensively nodded his head then continued, “Professor Tanna is eccentric… perhaps a bit crazy too. She teaches Mana Convergence, Mathematics, and History. I think she… she’s 30 years old. She became a teacher eleven years ago, and was declared to be a prodigy, but due to her slightly disturbing behavior, most people don’t take her too seriously.”“And?”“T-that’
“Talk? I’m busy no-”Before Professor Tanna could reply, Bin waved his hand, causing massive walls of sand to arise and block the windows and the entrance. Although it did not surprise the female scholar, it did confuse her. She furrowed her brows and sized him up a second time.“I don’t want us to be interrupted, Professor Tanna.”Bin chuckled and stepped to the back to display his non-hostility, despite using magic to isolate the laboratory.“I’m curious about many things, Professor, and somebody advised me to come to you of all people.”Bin was touring the cramped laboratory, checking the foul and old
“If one were to look at the annals of history, they would catch a glimpse of similar catastrophic events, on a scale no lesser than the present. The Rifts are but one form of connection ‘twixt worlds, and though they generally differ in type and influence, they are all categorized as the same thing. Put simply, they are interdimensional breaches that occur randomly or purposefully. In our case, unfortunately, it was done artificially. Though my peers would offer a rather contradictory account, as is their wont.”At last, Professor Tanna stopped pacing around and sat back down next to Bin. She was fumbling with her fingers, appearing slightly uneasy and nervous.“The breaches, as you might have noticed, lead to disastrous consequences. Whether it’s earthquakes, floods of water, or even deadly spatial tear
The talk with Tanna lasted for no less than four hours, in which Bin’s knowledge about Dranxia and The Rifts was considerably enriched, to say the least.The eccentric professor did not withhold any kind of information, neither did she keep her theories to herself. Usually, her peers would ignore her baseless speculations, but Bin was the opposite. He carefully listened to every word and found himself agreeing with most of it.Although she lacked proof to back the majority of her theories and hypotheses, they did not seem ridiculous or unfeasible. Additionally, he divulged some crucial details regarding his trip to Dranxia, and the reason behind his unexpected arrival.“I can see it already! Your body is exceptional in all regards! You must let me test it! You must!&rdqu
“Okay! I’ve completed my preliminary assessments.” “And?” Bin was lying on a mildly uncomfortable table, his fingertips were linked to a large and loud machine pumping Mana in and out of his body. Tanna had said that its primary job was to gauge his Mana Pool and thoroughly check the condition and balance of the Mana Circuit. The examination, or assessment, as the Professor liked to call it, lasted for a decent amount of time. Only at the break of dawn was Bin able to sit up and stretch his numb limbs. What made things worse were Tanna’s insufferable enthusiasm and her incessant questioning about every thing she could not comprehend. “As I had expected. Yo
“Do you know them?”Professor Tanna reluctantly opened the door for Lenna and Arbert, though she soon noticed how they kept their distance from Bin.“They helped me get past the golems.”“Helped? You threatened us!”Upon hearing this, Lenna lashed out at Bin while funnily standing behind Tanna.“Threatened? I kindly request your help. Don’t exaggerate."Even after listening to the gist of the situation, Tanna wasn’t the least bit interested. She looked at the two young Scholars and solemnly said, Not only was the Blood Prince and his confidant different in terms of appearance, their overall demeanor was unfamiliar too. Usually, the Prince would behave arrogantly and would definitely not wield a sword and wear armor. Instead, he liked to behave like actual nobility, therefore, upon witnessing him jumping around and slaying Pests, Bin was perplexed.After some contemplation, he decided not to reveal himself. That might well be the Blood Prince, but it’s not the same person. Put simply, this one has yet to experience the calamity that struck Dranxia and has yet to travel to Earth.From what Bin had gathered thanks to the Prince’s vague answers, the latter was neither a native of Earth nor Dranxia. He was from a completely different star, though his resolution on bringing salvation to this ‘star’ was a bitLife as A Servant Chapter 438 : Capture The Pest (1)
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.

“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
