Chapter 11- Family drama
"How can you not know what you have done? Why did you do it? Answer me!"Eren shivered and spoke. "I was venting my anger and I mentioned something about his granddaughter and he started crying, I asked why and, in fact I felt like my hatred and anger were magnified. It felt like my negative emotions were at an all time high. And I did what I did. I didn't mean to"Aisha just stared at him and then at her dead husband who passed away in relief, she wondered if he had also wanted to die, that why he had a look of relief when he left."Go call the doctor" she did not look at her son but sat beside her old man.She arranged his beddings and put back his oxygen mask.A teardrop slid down her face landing on his face."We are failures as parents, grandparents and also in our career.Am tired. Should I follow you?"The doctor, accompanied by a nurse, entered upon her request, with Elena and Eren following closely behind.Elena bit her lips at her mother's words."Ma, you don't have to die. The world has changed and you can change as well. It's never too late.""You're right. My husband has left, I have to at least be strong for the rest of the family.""We would follow the normal procedure, doctor".…………………..Zephyra lowered her eyelids as various thoughts roamed her mind.On her way here with the so-called assistant, she had tried to know if her system was working and it sure was. She tried the Eldoria system and it was glitching.Using her skill - inspect on her assistant, she found out that he was her father's child born out of wedlock and he was sent by his mother to work here and with his skills he became her trusted assistant.She finally understood what the mother wanted to do but did not understand the motive.First, she sent her son here to get close to her, who hadn't been in contact with her parents for 15 years. Such an amount of time was enough for any existing father-daughter love or relationship to fade but in her case there was no such thing.So 15 years was more than enough for her father to even forget her name, everything about her existence.Second, her assistant mother wanted to swallow the company by using her (Zephyra) mother son to do the work while they stayed behind and eat the fruits and the worldwide disappearance was a good opportunity for them but why should she let them.The car came to a halt outside the company."We are here, Boss""Mmm…. You can go" Zephyra waved at the driver leaving her alone in the car with the assistant.The assistant - Bryan had been on tenterhooks since but after thinking it through the only thing he thought she might have guessed is that he was greedy. Besides, he did not think he would be killed.He was right, she would indeed not kill him but did anyone mention to him that he would not be leaving Scott free."Hehe, are you angry? Angry at the fact that if you had been a little late, all you have worked for would escape your grasp. I thought you followed along and would die with them. Or have you been setting a trap for me.""Shut up" Zephyr's icy voice brought fear to him for a while but having the mentality that the worst that could happen was a beating, he did not care and continued talking not noticing that his surroundings had turned dark.What she had been doing apart from thinking was to manipulate the memories of others of the scene and make it suit her plans.This world had just started accepting Mana, so she could only use two-tenth of her power and use more Mana to carry out what she could do with a flick of her finger.It took time and was a huge toll on her will and spirit.It would be harder if it were people who had a natural predisposition towards Mana but the humans here were weak. Too weak.Even though she was now in a weakened state. It did not mean she couldn't deal with the small fry in front of her."Hmm… what's happening" Bryan's eyes were filled with fear, he began panicking.He turned to look at Zephyra and saw her looking at him with a languid expression with her piercing purple eyes.Such eyes which should have looked like a gem with diamonds in them, looked hollow and emotionless."You, what did you do?""Hehe… now is my turn to laugh."Bryan tried to call down but fear overwhelmed him, so he began panicking."Please, don't kill me. Please."Zephyra really wasn't planning on killing him, after all, he is another protagonist, just smaller."Why did you do what you did?"Slowly Bryan's eyes became dazed as he spilled forth secrets upon Secrets.From what she learned, his whore of a mother had instilled in him since young that he had been abandoned by his father as he is an illegitimate child while the rest were treated well.He was fed with the bitterness of his mother and slowly he walked on that path as well.He had always wondered why.As for his mother , she slowly charmed her way to his father bed again but his current wife was a no- nonsense woman and treated his mother fuck-up.His hatred for his father's family ran deep when he met them at his workplace where he worked part time.He was humiliated by them that even the lady he had asked out on a date looked at him with mockery, when he couldn't stand up for himself.He began his plan and when he was about to take his reward, he was caught.Bryan's eyes slowly cleared but his face was still filled with mucus and tears. He looked ugly.According to the novel, Bryan had won and slowly rose to the top. Then he was also selected by the white light to become a lord of Eldoria and became a merchant.Though he was not up to the level of Orion the main protagonist, he was still a force to be reckoned with.Chapter 12- Decision and plansZephyra's decision was to kill him but she knew she shouldn't go too far to tempt fate.She hadn't yet assimilated with this world and the world would give her ten times whatever punishment that would be given to a normal person.She decided to erase his memories and throw him to a backward place.Zephyra felt that she was too kind. "Am I really afraid of fate?"[ Yes Master, you are. After what you have experienced so far, it would be strange if you aren't.]"Sigh, you have been quiet for a while now."[ Am not a chatterbox]"I didn't say you were. Anyway, do you have any idea on how I should deal with him."[Why not let him work for you?]"Tsk.... That's like keeping a time bomb by my side."[ Anybody you take into the personal space becomes dead loyal to you and you can even kill them and they won't move.It may be hard for a protagonist but since if Bryan had won, he would have completely gotten the halo of a protagonist but he didn't.]A grin appear
Chapter 13- UpgradesBryan, clandestine in his acquisition of the villa, navigated the winding roads to the secluded property, all while harboring the secret from his unsuspecting mother. Gratitude washed over him, knowing that her unawareness spared him from potential consequences.As he pulled up to the grandeur of his newly acquired residence, thoughts swirled in Bryan's mind about orchestrating his mother's departure from the country. The intricate plan loomed ahead, requiring careful execution.Upon entering, Bryan encountered Zephyra, patiently awaiting his arrival. The mere sight of her evoked a flood of emotions, and he couldn't contain the overwhelming urge to cry. Wrapped in a heartfelt embrace, Bryan found solace in releasing the pent-up emotions that had gripped him.After the tears subsided, a wave of realization washed over him. Embarrassment took hold as he acknowledged the unexpected vulnerability he had displayed before Zephyra, his once-disliked boss, now a recipient
Chapter 14- More upgradesShe clicked on the Forge and a building token materialized in her hand. The token had a metallic look with Forge written on it in the form of italics and level one below it."I already have the space, I can stay there to concoct some potion and pills. Let's upgrade some more, but it seems that the core will be hard to get since not every animal has a core."[You're even more of a child than me. Must I remind you of everything.]Zara's voice sounded annoyed.Zephyra was confused, she did not think she had forgotten anything.[Use your talent, dumbass.]"Hey, am your master okay. You get that? Now which talent are we talking about?"[Midas touch]Zephyra chuckled embarrassingly as she recalled the talent."Thank you" she had no excuse to go with, so she could only mutter a thank you.She brought out the things needed for upgrade and used the midas touch on them.For each object she touched, they released a blinding light.As she progressed, she felt more playfu

The juxtaposition of their resilience with the
Chapter 16- Day 2; My ChildZephyra instinctively closed her eyes upon meeting with the sudden rays of sunlight pouring in from the window.She turned to her side, turning away from the incoming rays of light as she allowed her brain to boot before sitting upright in a lotus position.“Zara, did anything happen while I was asleep?” Zephyra said, yawning in-between her words.[Nothing serious. Your subordinates each went to different workshops available to take a look while I also slowed down the process of the puppet expedition.Since the puppets have no consciousness and are only following orders, it took a while to get them to understand what to do.Right now, I had them patrol around the surrounding area, sent some to mine with Zion following them and some guards.I also gave Zane some materials to begin making maps while Thyma would use the materials given to her to make clothes of all kinds.Also, I stopped the puppets from building more constructions, since, you may have the tok
Hey guys 👋🖐️, My editor has yet to review the work as I have corrected the mistakes which should be corrected.I have already reminded him about that and I hope it will be done soon.Don't leave the book just because of the mistakes, you can skip the chapters or ignore the mistakes and leave your review while also sharing it to your friends.Sigh.... I wanted to make this short and brief but since I can't publish it with less than 100 words, I would address other things.You may have noticed the use of AI in some chapters which I had used to do editing and I stopped halfway, cos after reading it, it did not sound like my writing style.It also reduced many words which I had used to express the emotion of the character. And yes, I didn't correct that even after the editing, I just made it try to fit into the story without spoiling the novel.I hope you like it and enjoy the novel. Show me love by sharing to your friends😌 and leaving a review while not forgetting to add to your Libra
Chapter 17- Future Zara and two bundles of joy Hey lovelies, I understand the novel is a little slow paced but I can't make it too fast paced either.I need to build a good world background, so you won't get confused.……………….“Do you wanna know why I'm here?” The lady who had similar features of Zara asked with a mischievous smile.The lady had an air of maturity, the smile added a touch of childishness with elegance radiating from her.Zara gazed at her in silence not showing her curiosity to know who she is and her mission or purpose.They looked at each other in silence waiting for one of them to give in.“Tch, aren't you worried about your host?” The acclaimed future Zara broke the silence.“Fine… I'm tired of pretending and it's a burden on me.” The future Zara spoke and turned into a short chubby boy.The chubby boy had emerald green eyes and purple hair just like Zara.“Who are you?” Zara who was quite cowardly became bolder after seeing the change though a little cautious.“H
Chapter 18- Revealing of Perks and Children.After Thyma left the room, Zephyra was now left alone with the two children.“Explain” she said as she glared at them.From a third person objective or view, it seems that Zephyra had quickly sunk into the role of being a mother.“Mum, it's not what you think” Zephyra raised an eyebrow at his words.Zara looked at her brother who looked quite stupid and her glaring mother. Not wanting the fire to burn her, she dove into her mother's embrace and wheedled.“Fine, explain. Am all ears.”…………..After a long explanation from Zeph, she got the gist of what happened.“You guys don't have to stay inside that space again. Since you both have my talent and can keep on growing, then, you can both take diverse routes.”“Now let's go introduce you to others. But before that, let's eat.” Zephyra said while bringing the food.After eating to her fill, she left the two bantering children and focused on her system.She opened the system panel and clicked on
