*Ding!*[Role Fulfillment : 0.1%]The notification sound prompted me to turn my head up to look at her head. "....." I silently stood there, staring at the panel for a few moments before heaving out a tired sigh. "We won't do it here. Although I don't clearly remember what I've promised to you, I'll still make sure to fulfill it. So there's no need to worry. I'm not going to run away."Without eyeing down to her face-to-face, I gently grabbed both of her hands and removed them from my clothes. "I-I better get going. I'll head out of the bathroom so that you can do whatever you want like take a shower or something, without worrying that I'll try and do something to you." Saying this, I went out the bathroom while trying my hardest to get out without committing a crime.When I'm finally out, I began looking around the place. Since I'm already done checking out my room, I went out to go to the spacious living room. It was big, more modern and advance than my room back in my previous li
"Ugh..." Groaning, the child finally opened his eyes. Slowly, he sat up. "Where... Where am I?" He asked himself as he started looking around to see where he was."Trees?"He then noticed that he was in a middle of nowhere on a forest. He was alone... Or so he thought he was."Ahh!!?" In front of him, was a man with headless body. It was dead, and laying around on the ground with it's limb torn apart."Wha-what..." He backed away until his back hit the tree behind. Soon after, while he was still shocked, he suddenly heard a scream."Monster!" He slowly turned his head towards the direction of the voice. There, he saw a woman pointing her fingers towards him with a fearful expression."I-I..." Before the child could even say something to her, a knife flew over from the woman's back and missed him on hairbreadth."That's him! Catch that monster!"A man appeared behind the woman as the others followed.Hearing this, out of instinct to survive, the boy promptly forced himself to stand
"Father... What are you doing here?"Both Cossette and Arthur's bald master, which is her father, stared at each other with a shocked face. They were silent for a few seconds until the man finally spoked up."Cossette... Why are you here?" He placed the two children down, and eyed her with an anxious expression. He was unexpectedly looking at her, scared."Huh?" Furrowing her brows, Cossette crossed both of her arms. "You stupid father. Mother had been trying to find you for 8 years. You better give me a proper explanation or else, I'll send you to your grave." She said with a threatening tone."Hey..." The man raised both of his hands in defeat. "You shouldn't say anything threatening to your father like that... You're hurting my fee--!?"Suddenly, a black light flew passed him with great speed, giving him a small scratch on his cheeks."Heeek!" The bald man backed away, scared. "H-hey! That's dangerous! You shouldn't do that to your fathe-!?" Before he could even finish his sentence
"That should be for today."Athan's voice sounded cold as it echoed throughout the empty hallway. On the other hand, seeing the dead man laying down on the ground, Eleanor's body shivered as she backed away until her back hit the wall."Is...I-is that man dead?" Her voice lowered, and she turned her attention to Athan, who was slowly removing the pen from the man's forehead.He stood up while staring at the blood pouring out from the man and his pen simultaneously with intent. It look as if Athan had something in mind as he stared at the blood. But after a couple of seconds, he wiped the saliva from of his mouth using his arm and turned his attention back to Eleanor."Let's go, Elle." He walked towards her. "They'll clean up this mess for us later on. So, we can just leave this thing at it is." Athan removed his bloody gloves from his hands and gently patted Eleanor like a child before lightly pulling her wrist away from the mess he made.Eleanor didn't try to refute, nor struggle f
"Lucius..."While in tear, Eleanor picked up my severely injured body, she lightly placed my head to her shoulder while continiously mumbling my- or Lucius' name.𝘋𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘣𝘺 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘺 𝘢 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘬 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘴 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘤. I thought to myself, letting out a pained groan, before turning my eyes to look at Eleanor.I was barely able to say something. After mustering my last bit of strength to talk, I said to her, "Don't worry, we'll meet up again soon...""...huh?"[Time is moving backwards...]Hearing the robotic voice coming from inside my head, I slowly closed my eyes and calmly let my consciousness fade."L-Lucius?!"This was the last thing I've heard before my vision suddenly blacked out.

I suddenly felt uncomfortable, like
After Cossette's father finished his whole situation on why he decided to kidnapped Alicia and Athan when they were both a child, the two-Arthur and Cossette-ordered him to sit on the floor with his knees."I apologize for what I did!" The man kowtowed. He then explained, "I was too short on money that day. Because I was ordered not to contact His Majesty during the whole mission, I couldn't able to ask him for money."While he was explaining this, Alicia just gazed at him coldly from above while remaining indifference. "....." Alicia didn't say anything during and after his whole explanation. She only squinted her eyes and crossed her arms as she listened to him, and merely turn her head to the opposite direction once he was done.Of course, the man remained silent while this happen. He prayed silently that the girl in front of her would spare his life, which thankfully happened after a sudden news arrival.While the three was contemplating about what they should do to punish this m
*Ting!*A sound of glass hitting each other was heard in the local nightclub. Many people uttered a whispers and chuckle while talking to their friends. Some enjoy coquetry to their partners, while many magniloquent people brag about their jobs, earnings, and money.Somewhere around this place, at the VIP area, a young girl who seemed to be around the age of 12, was talking very loudly as if she was making a complaint.If Athan were here, he could have immediately identified who this little girl was. Because, this little girl was none other than Danica, the girl who was born with a special ability to read minds.As the party outside the VIP area continues, somewhere around the VIP room, Danica let herself acquiesced sitting alone, all while drinking a glass of coffee."How dare you say that I'm depressed?" Danica asked the bartender, who was wiping an empty glass clean, with an annoyed face. She then continued, "Could a depress person make this? Didn't think so, don't you?"The barte
Somewhere around the academy-A day had passed upon Chloe's yesterday announcement. As for today, Arthur, Cossette, Alicia, and the others had decided to visit Athan in his room."Arthur, hurry up already!" Alicia shoved Arthur on the shoulder with an excited expression. "Hurry, hurry!"Frowning, Arthur rolled his eyes and spoke before turning his head towards the door, "Yeah, yeah... There's no need to be this excited." When Arthur was about to reach out for the doorknob, the door unexpectedly opened as two woman wearing a white mage uniform, that was supposed what the teachers of this school was wearing, went out of the room.When the two saw them, the tall, beautiful woman -who got out the room first- looked at Arthur before switching her attention to the others. "Ah! You must be here to visit him."Before the woman could even continue, Alicia abruptly grasped her wrist and asked excitedly, "Is it possible for us to visit Athan now?" There was a reason why they couldn't visit Ath
