“Tell me how can I go back now, Lennox?” Vanread asked.‘It’s very simple, master. You just have to wake up.’ Lennox eventually answered quickly.And there, Vandread also realized that Lennox was right. He simply needed to awaken from his slumber. Although the thing was, how would he do that?Vandread tried to squeeze his face and slap it hard random times but he was still unable to wake up. His patience was beginning to be tested but this time though, it wasn’t like he was going to go berserk mode once more.“Lennox, I can’t do it.” finally said as the sound of giving up was evident from his reaction.‘What do you mean, master?” Lennox asked.“I tried many times already but I just can’t wake up.”‘Is that so, master? Then why don’t you try to calm down and concentrate. Try to focus your mind into instructing your body to wake up. The mind, after all, is the main switch of a person’s body. Majority of your body parts moves because of your mind.’As Vandread realized that Lennox was in
"Our next contender is a woman of two decades and three summers—"The loud roars from the crowd, which were strongly opposed of the new contender's entry, caused a stir for the anchor to make an abrupt pause during his announcement. The contender, however, continued her way in as she stood on a wide round plinth made of marble which was partly elevated from the ground. She felt sickened at the appearance of the round plinth that was covered in blood stains, which was gruesome proof that the previous match that had taken place there had been particularly brutal.The deafening protest conquers the entirety of the whole arena, and it seemed that the masters of the whole bloody competition were enjoying the very scene. That's why they didn't even inch a bit to hinder the contender from proceeding the deadly match.The spectators voiced their disapproval loudly as she continued to engage in combat with the vicious monster that was making its way from the opposite side of the arena.They de
‘Throw the dagger on its head as quickly as you can! It will succumb to your onslaught once you strike the forehead.“But that’s just an infant.”‘You can't call that an infant anymore. It is an unborn child that has been doomed to reincarnate as a monstrous being. It’s a cursed child.’“But—”‘Kill it now or it will eat you alive!’She immediately threw the dagger at the hideous-looking infant that was now crawling towards her with the intention of devouring her. It terrifyingly looked gruesome and hungry for blood as it crawls further towards her direction. And because she was so terrified of the possibility that she would be eaten by it, her first attempt to hit it with her dagger unfortunately failed to be successful.This time, in an effort to avoid failing again, she clenched her hand around the hilt of the last dagger she was holding. She took a deep breath, as she hoped that this would be the last time she would fail. If this very last attempt were unsuccessful as well, she wo
The sun had already reached its highest point in the sky, and its rays were heating up everything that lay in its path. People from all over the town swarmed into the shed as quickly as they could in an effort to get away from the intense heat caused by the sun's incredible strike.In the infamous and remote town of Biringan, it had been like this every summer for as long as anyone could remember.It was closely the same for everyone whenever they go out to run for errands or simply work on their personal businesses, that was except for Freida Salome. She enjoys the feeling of the sun's rays penetrating the coverings of her flesh, the heat that coursed through her skin, and the fact that her skin had become accustomed to the heat as a result of the fact that she was born and raised on the farm by her grandmother, who is the only remaining member of her family.The terrible landslide that occurred in the mountains of Biringan was the only thing she could remember about her parents. Whe
Boran and Freida were able to complete the final signature that was required before they could bind the thesis project that they have been working on for the past couple of weeks with relatively little effort and in a relatively short amount of time. The fact that everything was finally resolved brought them both a significant amount of relief.“So, which coffee shop would you prefer to celebrate this accomplishment, Freida?” Boran's words were abrupt and came as soon as they exited from the research office.Freida had been looking forward to this time for quite some time, and as a result, she had been diligently putting money aside and making plans for where she would go in the event that she was successful in persuading Boran to accompany her. “Well, there was this—” But just as she was about to begin speaking, someone called out her name, which cut her off mid-sentence.“Freida, do you have a moment?” Freida was able to identify the voice as belonging to a male voice she knew alm
Freida did not in the slightest expect to come across such a moment in which a person who was completely blind would be the one who would eventually save her from being involved in an accident that could have caused her harm. If it weren't for the blind man, she would have been hurt badly by now, and in the worst-case scenario, she might have even been dead if the impact had been severe enough.Freida was suddenly overcome with an overwhelming desire to find out if the man was, in fact, blind. Because of this, she moved closer to him and waved the free hand she had available in front of his face. It was confirmed that the man was indeed blind after she had repeated it twice more.“Hey, are you still there?” Freida was abruptly interrupted by the blind man.“Uh, err, yes.” She was on the verge of being distracted by the thought that the man might have seen what she was doing. Even though the blind man was unable to see her, Freida quickly regained her composure in front of him.“I beli
Freida had a sudden recollection of the fact that the last time she could recall, she was still in the city of Itum—which was a city that was located approximately half an hour away from the town of Biringan. She had a distinct recollection of passing out right there on the streets, so the fact that she was now lying in her bed was a mystery to her. She couldn't understand how she had gotten here.Yet, regardless of how hard she tried to think carefully about how it occurred, she was unable to come up with any possible reason as to how she had been transported inside their house. She just couldn't figure out how she got there.The only result of her moment of reflection was an abrupt growl emanating from her stomach. She had the urge to go downstairs and start preparing the meal, but it felt as though her entire body was holding her back. The scent of food that was being prepared in kitchen was what jolted her out of her bed the next moment and forced her to get up and move around.Fr
She felt shivers run up and down her entire body, which instantaneously caused her to stand still out of shock and terror. Even the thought of screaming for assistance was too difficult for her to do. Considering the circumstances, she is experiencing an overwhelming sense of helplessness right now.Meanwhile, the blind man is continuing to laugh in an extremely disturbing manner. And Freida's nervousness and horror are triggered by the situation, which causes her to lose her sanity over it, which is a scene that Freida finds particularly upsetting. She tried to push through it by forcing herself to move, but sadly, as soon as she did, the creature that was impersonating her grandmother expanded its hands like rubber bands and ensnared her by twirling its elastic hands around her waist. She was unable to maintain her resistance against such a strong hold on her lower body, and the next thing she knew, she was already being pulled back to where she had come from.Freida made an effor
I stopped waiting for them to respond because I already knew that whatever they said would only be an attempt to convince us to remain where we were. This is also something that I am partly to blame for, I know. If I hadn't been so irresponsible as to move around on my own right from the start, they wouldn't have been forced to consider hiring additional security personnel in order to ensure that I remained safe.Recent events have brought to my attention the fact that Julius Silverstone's last will and testament has already been carried out after he passed away as a result of the car accident. Klen and Taylor were both named as my new guardian in my late grandfather's will, which stated that they would serve in that capacity until I reached the age of twenty-one. At this point in time, it would appear that Claudette is still in her twenties. This came as quite a surprise to me because I had assumed that she was already in her thirties. I was wrong about her age because she seems muc
Every time they insist on having those guards, it gets on my nerves. It's almost as if they are announcing to the world that I am being held captive in this mansion. But on some level, I am fully aware of the reason why they were so eager to coerce me into having those security guards follow me around at all times. As far as I can tell, it's for my own good. But didn’t they know that I will be with Reagan today? Knowing that Reagan is on the line might help them relax a bit, but even if that were the case, their concerns for my safety remain unfounded."I will be with Reagan, and I'm sure that he won't let anything bad happen to me while I'm with him. To put your minds at ease, the two of you can be certain that I will return whole to this mansion. Alright?” I told them as I dragged Reagan outside with me before the other two could have even had another opportunity to try to stop us from leaving.I stopped waiting for them to respond because I already knew that whatever they said wou
As soon as my focus was brought back to him, I instantly recognized the look of bewilderment on his face, which was evidenced by the way his brows were drawn together almost exactly in the middle of his temple. Even with that expression, Reagan managed to maintain an attractive appearance.I'll bet that this guy has a lot of ladies swooning over him right now. If it weren't for the fact that men aren't high on my list of priorities, I might actually give some thought to developing feelings for someone like Reagan. However, if we were to meet at a different time and place, one in which I wouldn't have to be concerned about exacting my vengeance or fearing for my life, then I probably wouldn't give it much thought at all.Who wouldn't fall for Reagan, seeing as how he has devoted his entire life to ensuring the well-being of my clan, and more specifically of my family?

Who wouldn't fall for Reagan, seeing as how he has devoted his entire life to ensuring the well-being of my clan, and more specifically of my family? I am aware that I am temporarily inhabiting Claudette's body, and that Claudette's family is not mine; despite this, there are times when I can't help but feel as though he is treating me in this manner rather than the actual Claudette, who was the one who originally owned this body. “Claudette? Are you still with me?” When I turned around, I heard Reagan calling my name once more. I don't exactly remember how many times he did it, but it seems as though he had been calling me out for a good deal of time by this point.“I-I’m sorry, I was just thinking about something.” I reason out. Despite this, I had a sneaking suspicion that Reagan wasn't going to buy that reason from me.When I look at the expression on his face, it seems as if he is trying to determine what it was that had me startled for a considerable amount of time, and why, d
“Sure. But why are we even going there?” he asks.“I’ll tell you on the way there.”However, just as Reagan and I were about to leave, Klen and Taylor immediately followed close behind me in an attempt to prevent me from leaving. After that, Klen protested as quickly as possible, saying, "Miss Claudette, let us come with you.""Oh, dear, please don't leave without us." Taylor even added.“I appreciate the concern, but I believe I left the two of you with instructions to finish within the day. I will be expecting reports from those instructions when I get home later.”“But, Miss Claudette, are you seriously going out without any guards with you?” Klen made another protest.Every time they insist on having those guards, it gets on my nerves. It's almost as if they are announcing to the world that I am being held captive in this mansion. But on some level, I am fully aware of the reason why they were so eager to coerce me into having those security guards follow me around at all times.
At this point in time, it would appear that Claudette is still in her twenties. This came as quite a surprise to me because I had assumed that she was already in her thirties. I was wrong about her age because she seems much older. On the other hand, now that I think about it, if she had been alive in five years from now, she would have been almost the same age as me. Suddenly, I can't help but recall the lewd encounter I had in the store. Knowing she is only twenty years old makes me feel even worse about allowing that creep to harass Claudette’s young body. “Claudette?” The sudden sound of Reagan's voice calling out my name brings me back to the present moment and helps me regain my composure.As soon as my focus was brought back to him, I instantly recognized the look of bewilderment on his face, which was evidenced by the way his brows were drawn together almost exactly in the middle of his temple.
