Chapter 12- Decision and plans
Zephyra'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 appeared on Zephyra's face at her system words.She decided to try it.She waved her hand and Bryan disappeared, appearing in her personal space.She also entered her space as well.[Author; I don't know if I should use will/spirit but it seems like I would use spirit though it sounds cringe 😬 in my head.]She could enter the space in two ways. One is to enter with her body and the other is with her spirit.Bryan who suddenly appeared in the space felt confused for a moment but he noticed that his hatred for Zephyra slowly disappeared followed by unwavering loyalty and dedication.He did not care about what had happened, he just felt lucky to be alive.He slowly looked Around and noticed the variety of herbs planted and the tower not too far from where he stood."Do you like what you see?""Master"Bryan did not know why he suddenly blurted out such words. He innately felt uncomfortable and his discomfort appeared on his face.Zephyra looked at his expression and it made her understand that she also still needed to reel in his loyalty.It could only force him to be loyal but what about his thoughts.There are always loopholes in many things." How do you feel?""I feel light." Bryan noticed that he wasn't out feeling light but also clear headed."I can't wait any longer so I will brief you on some things.First, I am among the people whisked away by the white light just because one of my talents is to pass through the two worlds.Second, you will still be my assistant and you will be in control of the company while I am at Eldoria.It's best if I just calm down and tell you how it is so you can do what's best for me.…………………To the outside world…….The family drama caused by the Evercrest and Zephyra company caused a stir in the business world.Some businessmen who had planned to buy the company once it fell into chaos had not even gotten their money ready when the Evernight company underwent a series of reforms stirring more waves in the business world.…………………In a well lit villa ……….."That useless bastard of a son, be couldn't even handle a b*tch.Tsk…. "The lady in a skimpy outfit thought out loud as she walked from one end to the room to another."Gosh, the plan just fell through, no time for preparations or to carry out plans B" she threw herself on the chair as she thought of what to do next."Well, now that bastard I gave birth to is really useless. Since he is already fired and he doesn't have any money on him, he would become a burden. It's best to cut it out now."Knock! Knock!! Knock!!!Bryan had been outside the door for a while preparing himself on how to act but now he did not need to act anymore.His mother's words really broke his heart.She talked like she wasn't the one who gave birth to him.His eyes already red, he pushed open the door."Aish, son you don't need to worry. You have done your best." The lady put on her fake smile which looked ugly on her face while not hiding the disgust in her eyes.She didn't even want to pretend much and just stood there spewing out the supposed caring words which dropped out of her mouth like sarcasm.At this moment, Bryan wondered about who he had done all he had done for.Was it for the humiliation he felt? Or for the whore of a mother.If she had respected herself, he wouldn't have received the humiliation or bullying he received.Bryan closed his eyes which were already filled with regret and hatred towards the mother who was meant to love and protect him but kept pushing him towards the fire pit."Sign this document." His voice was hoarse and cold but one could still hear the trembling in his voice.Elysia looked at her son's pained and bitter look and thought he was bitter about losing.She took the document and glanced at it. It was a severance of ties document.Inwardly, she felt so happy that she could jump with joy.At least, she didn't have to do anything. He was really sensible.She quickly signed her name without thinking twice.She also took a copy of the document and signed her name before taking one."I don't want to implicate you and Incase the document isn't enough to convince the media, I want to take a video." Bryan stood up trying to steady himself."Okay, you could also give me a copy of the video." Elysia did not bother to hide the joy in her eyes.Bryan quickly took the video and sent it to her.After getting the video, Elysia deleted everything she had about her son cleanly in front of him."I don't want you to also be implicated by having some things of you on my phone.Let me help you pack your bags.""No need, I would be going." Bryan did not want to stay any longer, he felt that he might break down.The moment he stepped out of the door, reporters rushed at him to get some things out of him.He just kept mute and walked out of the place like a zombie with the flashing lights from the reporters' cameras at him.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

Their unique life force grants them the capacity to witness the cyclical struggles between the Biggest Villain, Malachi, and the Biggest Protagonist, unscathed by the consequences of their choices.As Arion weaves the narrative, their indestructible nature becomes a symbol of continuity amidst the ebb and flow of protagonists and antagonists. The cockroach-like life force ensures that, regardless of the intensity of the highlighted side story, Arion persists as a constant, an eternal observer tethered to the essence of existence.This added element enhances Arion's role as a narrative anchor, emphasizing not only their neutrality but also their timeless connection to the unfolding events. 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
Chapter 19: Unveiling and Unforeseen TwistsSorry for posting the chapter late. Had some issues with my network.I hope you enjoy this chapter and also introduce the novel to your friends and others.Don't forget to leave a review and comment 😉........................Zephyra and her children graced the stage, overlooking a small audience comprising only the five subjects and puppets."Greetings, everyone," Zephyra began, pondering how to address such a modest gathering. ‘It’s time I summon more subjects,' she mused."These are my Children." she declared, turning towards her children she beckoned on them to introduce themselves."Good morning, I'm Zeph Evernight. My mother, Zephyra Evernight, reigns over the Evernight territory," Zeph introduced, his childish tone laced with an underlying coldness."I'm Zara Evernight. As my brother mentioned, we're fraternal twins," Zara added with her tone carrying a touch of liveliness unlike her brother's underlying cold tone.As Zephyra prepare
