"Um... I think it's time that should go home now... sister.""???"Without waiting for her reaction, I pulled her close to me, and walked away from the crowds that was formed thanks to the scene.Also, thankfully, the little girl didn't tried to resist my actions, and only followed along after I pulled her to my side.After walking for sometime, I stopped, looked around the crowds at the market. Thus, after making sure that none of those guys followed us, I turned my head back to look at the girl at my side."This should be far enough, no?"I calmly said after I opened my mouth to speak.'Is she angry at me?'I inwardly thought as I continued observing her next reaction.Staring at me indifferently, she glanced at her wrist before nodding her head in reply to my question.Seeing this, I quickly realized the problem and immediately let go of her wrist, before I began bowing my head slightly to apologize.In reality, no one would even dare to do something stupid in front of her if they k
Somewhere at the true demon territory, Hell, was a man sitting alone in the throne. His long white hair gently cascaded down to his back, however, if one looks closely, they'd notice a few red strands on his hair.Then, a regal aura exuded from his body.That person was none other than the true demon king...As if staring at the deep abyss in front of him, the king opened his mouth to speak. His melodious yet cold voice rang throughout the room."I see... There are three main candidates of becoming the demon king, no?"Squinting his eyes, the true demon king continued, and stared at the white orb in front of him."Come to think of it... Should I just train this girl...? To give her my position as the demon king? I don't think these demons would care as long as their king is strong."That was how simple some true demons were compared to humans or to the other races. Although there's an intelligence on their territory, in the end they would be willing to serve as long as their king was
Now that the problem was already created, I should just go with the flow to where the scenario of the novel will take me.Still...As my thoughts overcame me, I suddenly heard a soft voice of a girl around the corner."You seemed to be having fun. Well, then. Do you want to spar, Athan?"It was none other than Cossette."Sis...ter."'Why wasn't she worried when the prophecy appeared...? Wait, why did I even asked? I already know it anyway.'Staring at her indifferently, I once again opened my mouth to spoke."What do you want, sis?" Now, I get that your probably wondering, why did I called her "sister" just now?Well, it's because she insisted...no, forced should be the right word for that. It was because she said that if ever that I decided to not call her sister, she would immediately go on rampant, obliterating anyone in her path as an revenge for hurting her feelings.Damn, I never thought that she'd threaten me that way."Athan, I get that I'm pretty but please quit staring, bec
Covering my right eye slightly using my hands, I weakly raised my head up to look at the mirror to see what was happening to me... Oh, boy. Guess I'll have to prepare myself because I know that I won't be sleeping tonight.'What the fuck is that!?'Looking at the mirror, I couldn't help but feel scared from what I'm seeing. At the reflection, there was a dark smoky creature attached behind my back, piercing onto my neck using it's nails. Though, I didn't felt anything when the sharp nails of it pierced me. The creature didn't have a feet and seems to be floating. It's body was made from a dark smoke and doesn't have a head but, it had glowing white eyes and huge grin that bared it's long sharp teeth that was utterly similar to sharks."What--"Before I could continue my sentence, the dark creature leaned it's body closer to my ear, and began muttering words I couldn't understand.{#-(_'()8/)$2`=°€©}After the creature finished speaking, a vision...or memories suddenly imprinted my tho
After I got back at the mansion, it was night. So, I decided to call it a day and went to my room to get some quick rest.I sat down to the bed and rested my back to the wall, thinking about the things that happened not for awhile ago when Cossette and I went to the town.As I was thinking, I couldn't help but let out a long sigh in contempt."Just what the hell are those visions all about...? No, the real question is, why the heck am I feeling a bit familiar with those? As if the visions that was shown are somewhat like my memories.""Is it the memories of the Athan's past life? Or was it really mine?"Pinching the middle of my brows, I once again let out a sigh before lifting my head to look up."I should probably think of a good plan to progress the story to the next level for now..."Though, it didn't take too long to process a new plan inside my mind."Sigh, doing this again is just too troublesome... Not just that, I wish she wouldn't hate me if she ever found out I did this to
It's been awhile since I felt this... What was this feeling called again? Was it regret, sadness...? No, I think I remember it clearly now.It was called 'fear'... The fear of once again losing someone important because of me.A few years ago, somewhere at the Satella territory, while me and my half brother, who was apparently three years older than me, was running around the forest, we came across a pack of tempest wolves."Broth-"Before I could even call him out, my big brother, Ian, gestured his hands to stop me."Stay back!"Taking a wooden stick from the ground, Ian lit the the tip on fire and began using it to scare the wolves away from the both of them.As we were slowly backing away from the wolves, I suddenly felt a wall hit my back... It was a tree. My brother noticed this and clicked his tongue out of frustration, while his eyes never left the tempest wolves.Then, after pondering for a couple of seconds, he decided to take the risk and summoned an fire wall behind them to
'Emotion'The greatest weakness and strength of humanity... Not only them, but even to the other races as well.Some examples of a sentences that can trigger an emotions was 'I loved you', 'I care for you', 'I missed you'. By saying this, you can somehow give them strength and courage to face their problems head on.Nevertheless, this word could also be considered as one of the main types of manipulation.As long as you understand the real meaning of emotions, you can easily manipulate someone to do something that can benefit you and yours alone. Not just that, you could also improve their trust by tingling even a little bit over their emotions. And, slowly but surely, they will eventually fell into your hands like puppets.After waking up, I saw Cossette sleeping on the side of the bed. As if noticing that I'm awake, she raised her head to look at my direction."Athan!"Cossette said, immediately hugging me."I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."She murmured, while resting her forehead to my
A week has passed after the incident. Since then, there are many noticable changes happened to Cossette.Like for example, when were training.From before, once Cossette finished her demonstration, she doesn't repeat it afterwards. Because of this, I would always need a pen and a note to write down all of her explanation in paper. This was also one of the main reason why I planned the incident in the first place.Honestly, even though I've done this many times on my past life, I still couldn't get use to this feeling whenever I tried to manipulate someone else emotions. It always gives me a bitter taste after I finished.Now, then. Continuing back to my explanation. After the incident, instead of leaving me behind like she used to do, she would always stay by my side for a few hours just to make sure I managed to grasp to her explanation. Thanks to this, my training rapidly boosted than the past before the incident.As of now, she was teaching me how to use my darkness crest to attra
