In every story, the main characters always have goals, but not in Benjamin's case. All of Benjamin's goals died on the day he lost his mother. That day was etched in history when Humans and Mermaids declared war on each other. The Humans feared the Mermaids would use their powers someday in the future and for that reason only, They attacked.All human inventions were used that day. Humans died like bugs, blood and carnage was everywhere. Lives were lost, many parents didn't return home that day, many humans and mermaids died. Benjamin Reed's heart froze after seeing his mother lying in a pool of blood with a fist-size hole in her heart."No, no! You can't die" he cried. "Mother. Please don't let me regret knowing you are a mermaid. Tell me, mother, why ain't you swimming? Please don't leave me alone in this world, I won't have anything to do with my life if you go, who is going to read me bedtime stories and kiss me goodnight?" The cries fell on deaf ears.His mother just died. It h
What if Dawn realized he was the person that killed her father?Benjamin had a bad premonition as he looked at Dawn, who was searching through the little spell book. Dawn flicked the page of the spell book in a hurry, what she wanted to find, unknown to Benjamin Reeds. After a while Dawn threw the book onto the floor in frustration. "Arh, I can't find it. Why can't I find it?" She said looking at Benjamin for a response. Benjamin, who had no idea how to respond only nodded since his mouth has been sealed."How come you knew that My father was dead? " Dawn looked at Benjamin directly and asked.Benjamin who has his mouth sealed muffled some words out which was obviously not heard correctly.Dawn flicked her fingers to release the invisible force from Benjamin's mouth.~Sigh~" I only said what I saw, I didn't know anything about your father's death, I'm twice as shocked as you are right now. Do you think I know anything about his death?Is it why you have tied me here? Untie me. I ne

Suddenly, Benjamin's heart sank as he heard the girl's continuous screams, sounding like a woman in labor.Questions and doubts started to fill his mind as he struggled to understand what was happening.The loud cries echoed through the forest, making Benjamin feel uneasy.On the other side of the forest, Dawn knelt in front of a lifeless body that appeared to be a dead man."No, who did this to you?""This isn't like you. How did you become so black?" Dawn's cries reverberated, drawing Benjamin closer to her to find out what was going on.But Benjamin couldn't think clearly. Wasn't Dawn searching for her father? Why was she suddenly crying like this?He was truly confused. He knew Talastu's daughter was named Dorothy, not Dawn. Could it be that...Benjamin's heart skipped a beat as he approached Dawn."Dawn, what's the matter?"Although it was obvious what was happening, Benjamin pretended to be clueless. "Who is that?"The sight of the once cold and aloof Dawn, lying atop a headless
"You are looking for your father?" "I don't think it concerns you." Dawn walked past him and went on searching with her compass. Totally forgetting about Benjamin.Intrigued by the mystery of this "father," Benjamin decided to follow Dawn discreetly, hoping to discover more about her situation. He attempted to move silently, wanting to remain unnoticed. However, his efforts were in vain, as Dawn eventually caught on to his presence."Why are you following me?" Dawn abruptly stopped and stared at him with a cold gaze.Benjamin nervously scratched the back of his head, trying to come up with a quick explanation. "Um, well, I was just walking.. to-""Get to the point, I don't have time," Dawn interrupted impatiently.Realizing he needed to act quickly, Benjamin blurted out, "I was actually searching for clues to find Jinx. Since you have powers, maybe we could strike a deal. I'll help you find your father, and in return, you can help me find Jinx.""I don't think I need help finding my f
Benjamin stared at her face for more than one minute. Dawn has turned more beautiful and her skin tone has brightened even more. "I can't believe it. How can you be Dawn?" "I don't care if you believe your eyes or not. Now can you get out of my way?""No, You are not going anywhere. You need to answer my questions first."Dawn asked, "What questions?""So it's really you? What is going on in the slave establishment. What has happened there?" "The slave establishment is doing just fine. The warden has killed almost all the slaves that came in that day. Only a few of us survived. By the way, where is Jinx? If I remember it clearly, you were both thrown into the dungeon." Dawn asked, looking around.Benjamin was at a loss for words when Dawn asked him this question. How could he tell her what actually happened to Jinx, when he didn't know what actually happened to her? "She is missing." He shook his head as he says this; "I have searched for her for a long time, but it has turned fut
Chapter 75. But before he could see the ability, the clouds grumbled like a war drum followed by the rushing sound of strong winds flowing around him.Puzzled, he looked up at the skies to witness the rapid changes in the weather. It had changed from bright blue to dark."It's about to rain?" Benjamin asked himself, not knowing what to do, he turned around only to notice that the nearest tree with a canopy was far away.The sound of the rushing wind increased sending gusts of wind in the land where the lone boy was standing. Gritting his teeth, Benjamin started running.He wanted to reach there in time before the rain starts.But the wind was against his plans as it kept on blind folding him with the dust. It got to a point where Benjamin couldn't see anything aside from the sight of dust that had blended in with the air.At this state, the system automatically sent him a message.[Water control and Cloud walk Activated]A divine feeling washed over him as he felt the rush of air a
After some thought, he decided not to make a fuss about this. He was here for a mission and he will do anything to secure his mission success.Looking at the beheaded man on the floor, Benjamin squinted his eyes and approached him. "Mage Talastu, may your soul rest in peace"After saying that he reached his hands into the pocket of Talastu. But something was a miss. "Where is the spell book?"He searched his body again thinking maybe he might has hidden it inside his clothing but to Benjamin's dismay, there wasn't anything for him to find.Even all the weird items he has touched earlier when retrieving the spell book was no longer inside his pocket. With this revelation, Benjamin started having doubts."What of this is all illusion?" Benjamin gritted his teeth as if he was going to chew them. What happens if this was just an illusion? Then it will mean that Talastu might not be dead and he will definitely not be happy about Benjamin killing him. This sudden idea made Benjamin's blood
Chapter 73"Nothing" Benjamin looked at him. "But please, you said you can find Jinx right?"" Listen carefully boy, for me to be able to find the princess, I need to be strong and healthy…" As he was talking he felt a stinging pain in his chest. " Ahh, please search my pocket, you will find my spell book. Remove it for me." He gritted his teeth in pain trying to force himself from yelling. "Please… hurry!"" Okay."Benjamin reached his hands to search Talastu's pocket. He nearly fainted by the thing his hands touched before he was finally able to retrieve the book. The spell book was as big as the size of his palm. It looked plain-black with no special paintings on it, and didn't look anything like a spell book. Which made Benjamin doubt him. "Here" Benjamin handed the book to him and stood by the side and watch as Talastu flicked the pages a few more times until he was able to find a page with the spell he was looking for. Benjamin looked at the rejoicing face of the mage, who was
Chapter 72 I became the villain.The mage stared at the illumination of Jinx, and he nearly sobbed. Jinx's pretty face didn't look exactly like that ever since she disappeared. Though this was just a picture of her current self, he could tell that she had been through a lot."This is her picture. Can you help me locate where she has been taken to?" Just as Benjamin asked this question, something unexpected happened.Tthe mage was only engrossed in his own thoughts as he watched the disastrous state of a princess. But just as he was unaware of his surroundings, he felt a sharp, long sword piercing through his heart!Since they were in an illusion, the moment Talastu felt that sharp pain, all the surroundings he had created with his power vanished, bringing them back to the dark forest.At that moment, there was a five-meter-long black sword stuck in his chest. Behind the sword was the unforgettable face of the Red creature who once abducted Benjamin."Hahaha, did you forget about me all
