"So... Why am I here?" Without looking at her direction, I looked around her office with a curious face."...." She didn't answered.Because of this, I spoke, "I'm serious here. Was kidnapping me necessary if you're not gonna say something?" I turned my head to look at Eva's direction. She was silently looking at me with a bored look.๐๐ฉ๐บ ๐ฅ๐ฐ ๐ ๐จ๐ฆ๐ต ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฃ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ด ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ ๐ต๐ณ๐บ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ด๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฑ...? ๐๐ง ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐ช๐ด ๐ข ๐ค๐ถ๐ณ๐ด๐ฆ, ๐'๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฉ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ต ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฐ ๐ค๐ถ๐ณ๐ด๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ฎ๐บ ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฏ. "Not really," She said. "Anyway, I'll get straight to the point." Standing up from her seat, Eva took something out from the drawer before she went and gave it to me. It was a hexagonal-shaped key with a human skull as a design."What's this?" I took the key from her and examined it throughly. "What does this key even for anyway?" I asked, turning my attention back to her.When she heard this question, Eva crossed both of her arms as raised a bro
{[ The Forbidden Series # 25 ]} {[ Title: Before The Shattered Realities ]}Staring at the screen in front of me, my face couldn't help but harden. I suddenly felt uncomfortable, like a prickling feeling from my skin, prompting my body to shiver."The Forbidden Series?" I stated, staring at the message with a weird look. "What is this place? Where am I? Is this place had something to do with that 'thing'?" I questioned myself, closing my eyes to think.Though the answer to my question was obvious, I didn't realized this. It took me a few seconds to realize this fact and when I do, I took a deep breath to calm myself down."Hmm... I should probably try to look around for clues to find out more about this place... I'll check the dra--?" I was about to finish my last sentence when suddenly, a beeping noice cut me short, as a blue panel appeared before my eyes.-----[Quest] >> Daily>> Main >> Sub-----๐๐ถ๐ฆ๐ด๐ต? ๐๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฏ'๐ต ๐๐ถ๐ฆ๐ด๐ต ๐ด๐ช๐ฎ๐ช๐ญ๐ข๐ณ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ข ๐ฎ๐ช๐ด๐ด๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ด, ๐ญ๐ช๐ฌ
*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.๐๐บ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ด๐ฆ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ช๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐บ ๐จ๐ฆ๐ต๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฉ๐ช๐ต ๐ฃ๐บ ๐ข ๐ต๐ณ๐ถ๐ค๐ฌ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐บ ๐ง๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ด ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ช๐ต๐ฆ ๐ฑ๐ข๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ต๐ช๐ค. 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.

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
