As I was about to call out for the person before us was, I heard a clicking sound coming from him.

"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!"

I abruptly stopped walking and raised my arms to stop Lumine from walking forward.

I began to have a flashback about what Cossette reminded me before we left.

'At the faintest hint of a clicking sound, a shiver runs down your spine. You know what's coming – or rather, who is coming.'

'What do you mean?' I stammered, my voice laced with a mixture of unease and curiosity.

'You'll understand it soon...'

Before me stood a youth, appearing no older than sixteen, his countenance an enigmatic blend of mystery and danger. A black katana was securely sheathed at his waist, its presence radiating an aura of foreboding. But it wasn't the weapon that drew your attention; it was his appearance that sent a chill down your spine.

With only one arm, his other sleeve dangling empty, and no eyes adorning his face, the sight was as jarring as it was unsettling. An eerie emptiness resided w

Arthur's warning was cut short as Athan abruptly vanished from his position, causing the ground beneath to crack and form a small crater when he reappeared right in front of Arthur.'I won't be able to dodge in time!' Arthur's thoughts raced as he braced himself for the impending attack. Just as he felt the surge of danger, William intervened, his scaled body glowing with a newfound strength."William...""Don't just lie there! Get up!" William's commanding voice and forceful push propelled Athan away, his gaze shifting to Arthur with a stern expression.Arthur's breath caught in his throat as he realized William's quick reaction had saved him from Athan's attack.

Your brother is still resting inside the machine," the mother chimed in playfully, sneaking up behind her son and pinching his cheeks affectionately."Yeah..." the boy replied, his anticipation mingled with a hint of uncertainty.The three of them stood there, gazing at the boy inside the tube, a mixture of emotions running through their hearts.Unbeknownst to them, the boy inside the tube opened his right eye slightly to take a glance at their direction before closing it back again.......Three years later, the bond between the brot

Despite my academic shortcomings, one particular aspect sets me apart in this hallowed institution — the mask I don with unwavering commitment.This unique mask is a gift from my genius cousin, Chloe. It boasts a distinctive feature, a button discreetly nestled on the side, granting me the ability to switch expressions at will—smiles, nervous glances, looks of confusion, teary eyes, and even expressions of anger. It's a clever solution, since I can't actually show an expression... Not because I'm acting cool or some sort, but because of a specific reason.Perhaps you're w

Before he could complete his sentence, his life slipped away, his final breath dissipating into the ether."Just an ORDINARY student," I stated, my voice as frigid as the unforgiving wind that swept through the scene.With a dispassionate gaze fixed upon the lifeless form before me, sprawled in a pool of crimson, I returned my hand to its resting place in my pocket.

    Several hours whisked past in a blur. As I gathered my belongings, preparing to embark on my journey to school, I exited my room and embarked upon a solitary walk through the vacant corridor."It's been quiet today..." I mused aloud, the words softly punctuating the stillness. The once-familiar cadence of life within these walls seemed to have shifted inexplicably.I remembered the time when my cousin was still a child. We would often play outside until we're tired. Over time, much like the others, her disposition underwent a subtle metamorphosis, a transformation coinciding with my own affliction of blindness. To clarify, my sentiments towards her remain untouched by animosity. Rather, I suspect her malleable nature might be the root cause—susceptible to the prevailing influence of those around her.Children are easily influenced, which is why my cousin, who was once innocent, now exhibits a brattish demeanor."Speak of the devil..."Abruptly, my steps came to a halt as I fixed my ga

    "This is it..."As I gazed at the solitary figure seated on a park bench, I involuntarily clenched my fist tightly, my emotions in turmoil. Ever since my vision was restored, my facial expressions also returned after a year of absence... This explained why I could express my joy when Jack presented me with the action figurine.However, such thoughts were inconsequential at this moment. My focus was solely on preventing her from spreading the foolish mistake I had made.Taking her life wasn't a viable option. She held significant influence and popularity, not to mention her pivotal role within the academy. Why? Because the girl before me happened to be the principal's only disciple!She was born with a magical prowess that was remarkable like the principal, a stark contrast to my own inclination towards physical strength. My proficiency extended to a multitude of weapons, though ranged arms like bows and firearms remained beyond my mastery.Strangely, there was a hint of familiarity i

    Entering the apartment building, I was immediately greeted by Miss Olivia, her warm demeanor a stark contrast to the unsettling events of the day.Earlier, I had borrowed Aerial's phone to make a call, seeking refuge in their home. Jack, the owner of the apartment, agreed almost immediately upon hearing my situation.Aerial's surprise was palpable when she learned that I was practically homeless after running away from home. By the time I hung up and said my thanks, she immediately asked about what happened.Since I have nothing to lose anyway, I decided to tell her the truth.... Not the regression part, of course.Her reactions were somehow expected; she sympathize with me, and thus, diverted the topic back to our work.Anyways—"Vallen is finally here," Olivia informed Jack, who nonchalantly continued watching a horror movie, the flickering images casting an eerie glow across the room."You're here already?" he said, h

If it were just ordinary numbers, she wouldn't bother, unless these papers concealed a hidden message—a Morse code of sorts.".....""....ugh."Finally, after what felt like an eternity, she placed the folders down, meticulously arranging them on the table. Glancing my way, she closed her eyes and inquired, "...what do you want?""....!!"Clearing my throat, I put on a smile and replied, "Ah... Well, I want to join this club." She abruptly halted, processing my unexpected announcement.Turning her head slightly, she contemplated before asking, "Why do you want to join?"

    "You're Vallen, aren't you?"I turned my head in Alicia's direction, casting her a weary glance before refocusing on the front of the classroom."Don't ignore me!"Alicia slammed her hands on my table, causing me to shrink back into my chair... I'm getting annoyed."Hey, I'm asking you—?!"Kiyona's hands intervened, cutting off Alicia's words. She looked at me with a frown. "You know this girl?" she inquired, squinting."...Nope. Never seen her before," I responded sarcastically, rolling my eyes towards the window.Although I didn't admit it outright, the lie was evident from my expression and tone. Strangely, Kiyona appeared to buy into it....Is she an idiot?"Pfft!" Kim couldn't contain a sound, swiftly covering his mouth. Our eyes met, his expression stiffening before he looked away.Alicia, seemingly unfazed by our silent exchange, voiced her annoyance."How are you able to see...?" she asked curiously, crossing her arms."How do you think?

Kim sat on the left, and I occupied the right."There are so many people here!" Kiyona exclaimed, rising suddenly and letting out a loud "woo hoo!" This drew surprised glances from the students in front of us."Stop it... You're only embarrassing us," Kim chided her, shaking his head slightly before turning to me."I hope you're not uncomfortable with this girl... She's a bit eccentric, to say the least."Well, I can see that... I thought, glancing up at Kiyona, who was smiling wholeheartedly. Despite her eccentricities, there was something likable about her that I couldn't quite pinpoint."Hey, Kim! The principal is making her appearance!" Kiyona pointed excitedly to the center of the stadium.She added, "She looks young and beautiful! How old is she again?" Her eyes sparkled at the sight of the principal.

    As soon as I woke up back inside my room on the mansion, confusion engulfed me as I checked the calendar that was on the shelf before checking through my phone.'First Day of School!'It was the same.Panic gripped me; this regression wasn't exactly as I anticipated. Cursing my predicament, I held my head in frustration. "Why had I been thrust back to the beginning?" There were no answers, and the disorienting return only fueled my anxiety.Contemplating various possibilities, I considered the absurd idea of being poisoned. However, logic swiftly dismissed it – Miss Olivia, who shared the meal, wouldn't endanger herself nor her boyfriend. She wasn't that reckless or suicidal.Desperation led my mind to entertain wild theories. Had my father sent assassins? A notion swiftly dismissed, recognizing the improbability... Although there is still a possibility, I knew his personality. The mind raced, concocting and discarding scenarios, each more implausible than the last.Tok Tok—!The ca

Long time no see!" he greeted, the corners of his lips curling upward.Amused, I closed my eyes for a brief second, shook my shoulders, and settled into the chair across from him. I signaled the waitress to take my order."So, what have you been up to lately?" I turned my attention back to William. He leaned back comfortably and responded with a soft hum."Mostly family business, and the rest of my time is spent hanging out with my girlfriend," he said, a hint of smugness in his tone.I rolled my eyes at his response and sighed. "Yeah, right. I'm getting jealous.""Liar," he retorted, pursing his lips. "Your expression clearly says the opposite. Anyway, how's your eyes? I thought you wouldn't be able to see.""Ah...
