"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
Inside Athan's sea of consciousness-- Danica could be seen briefly looking around at the destruction from the distance with a shocked look."W-what is this place...?" She asked herself, lifting her head to scrutinize her surrounding.She then gazed her us up to look at the broken sky, that had cracks similar to a broken glass. Huge portion of it had fallen onto the sea like pieces of debris from the collapsing surroundings. She looked down to see the that the sea under her feet was gray, which also reflected her face and the collapsing world that was on the brink of destruction like a glass.Danica took a few step back. She then asked herself, "How could he still remain sane with this kind of consciousness? ...Is he even human?" She was about to say something more when suddenly, a blue panel appeared in front of her covering the collapsing view.There was an image of an unfamiliar person on the panel. Curious, Danica walked towards it, as she slowly raised her hands to reached out to
Around the academy--"Athan!" When Arthur called out his name, Chloe who had been silent since earlier, immediately moved forward, forcefully opening the door and pouncing Athan.Athan fell on his butt. As for his sister, since he held her body earlier to protect her from the fall, Chloe didn't get hurt anywhere. But, he still worriedly asked, "Are you hurt?" He glanced at her body to see if she's hurt anywhere. While he do so, Chloe replied to his question, "I'm fine... I didn't got hurt. See?" She raised her arms and shaked them as the proof to her words."That's a relief..." After making sure that everything is okay, Athan breathe a sigh of relief.𝘐 𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦... He thought to himself, while smiling at Chloe outwardly in relief. He was scared inside thinking what would 'Athan' do to him if something were to happen to his precious sister.When all of them saw his smile, they became shocked. Arthur then asked, "Are you still sick? I
[A/N : To avoid confusion between their names, I decided to do this:From now on, our Main character, Athan, will temporary be referred as 'Lucius'.As for the Athan, who was currently at the academy, he will be called as 'Deus'.For the Athan inside our MC's memories, he will still be called as 'Athan'.It would be like this:The Main character Athan = LuciusAthan from the academy = DeusThe other Athan = Athan]At midnight-- While I was on my way back to my apartment, I unexpectedly saw some familiar girl at the distance. She was none other than Eleanor."Ellie-" I was about to call out for her when I noticed three guys pushed her into the corner of the wall as if they were trying to hit on her, so I stopped. "What do we have here?" The man, who pushed her to the wall, grabbed both of her wrist and spoke, "It looks like we boys caught ourselves a cute-looking plaything for tonight."The other man beside him bit his lower lips as he stared at Eleanor up and down. It was clear that
