Chapter 1: The Grim Bargain
In the midst of the busy and bustling city streets of Fairview, a delivery scooter could be seen weaving in and out of traffic, its rider determined to make his deliveries on time.
The delivery scooter's engine roared loudly as it accelerated, the rider expertly navigating through the sea of cars and pedestrians.The rider finally arrived at his intended location, a posh and luxurious hotel known as the "Hotel De Glamour". He carefully dismounted from his scooter, mindful not to harm the valuable package he held tightly in his grasp. The majestic architecture of the hotel impressed him as he walked towards the reception area, filling him with an overwhelming sense of wonder.As he approached the front desk, he announced his purpose, "Good day. I have a scheduled delivery to make. I need to drop off a package at the designated location."The receptionist, who exuded an air of sophistication responded, "Welcome to Hotel De Glamour sir. I apologize for the inconvenience, but I need to confirm your appointment before allowing access. Do you have any documentation or confirmation details?"Of course, here's the delivery order and confirmation email." The rider spoke up.The receptionist replied, "Perfect. Let me verify this information for you. Please bear with me for a moment." As she spoke, she began typing on her computer."No problem at all. Take your time." The rider spoke as he waited.After a minute, the receptionist finally spoke up, "Thank you for waiting sir. Everything seems to be in order. You may proceed to room 23. It's located upstairs on the right wing.""Great! Thank you for your assistance." The rider spoke as he made his way to the designated room. Upon arriving, he lightly knocked on the door. A young man, with only a towel opened the door after a pause."Here's your package sir," The delivery man spoke.With the door opened, his focus shifted towards a young woman inside the hotel room. Though she appeared somewhat recognizable, he couldn't identify her precisely due to the distance between them.The young man, who was wearing nothing but a towel, received the package and then called out to the woman who was in the room. "Sweetheart, the package has arrived." he exclaimed, prompting her to approach the door."I'm coming," The young woman spoke excitedly.As she neared the entrance of the hotel room, an unusual occurrence took place. It appeared as though time paused momentarily. The delivery man's gaze remained fixed on the woman, and his countenance shifted from enthusiasm and happiness for arriving on time to fury. Meanwhile, the woman displayed a look of astonishment, shame, and bewilderment.With a stutter, she inquired, "Wh.. what...what are you doing here?" Clearly caught off guard by the delivery man's unexpected appearance.It was quite apparent from the tone in which she spoke that the woman was quite familiar with the delivery man who had just arrived. Meanwhile the young man clad in towel had a sly smile on his face. It was as if everything was going according to his plan.The young man's smile appeared to hold a deeper meaning, implying that he had something up his sleeve. His eyes, fixed on the delivery man, gleamed with a mischievous glint, conveying a sense of inside knowledge that was not shared by the others around him."Oh sweetheart, do you know this man?" The young man asked as he placed his hand on her chest fondling and squeezing her breasts, she smiled and kissed him.The delivery man was Alexander Greece, popularly known as the live in son-in-law of the Johnson family, he was an outcast and always looked down upon due to his poor social status. The Johnson family saw him as a disgrace and embarrassment to their name, and his life with them was unbearable.Alexander got married to Emily Johnson a year ago after they fell in love in College. Emily was always admired as the most stunning young woman in the Johnson family, but her marriage with Alexander had caused a significant rift between her and her family, particularly her grandfather, the head of the Johnson family. However, she was captivated by Alexander's handsome face and kindness but then she was just naive. A fool for love. Now she felt just having an handsome face with no money was useless.Alexander had been living with the Johnson family for quite some time now and he had been treated like a servant ever since. Every day, he would wake up early and work tirelessly, taking care of the house chores and making deliveries for his job. Despite all of this hard work, he never once complained or expressed his feelings of exhaustion to anyone. He remained steadfast and strong, determined to do whatever it takes to make his wife and her family happy.But the truth was that Alexander was tired. Tired of being treated like he was lesser than everyone else in the family. Tired of the long hours and the lack of appreciation. It wasn't easy, but he persevered because he had something worth fighting for - his wife, whom he thought loves him.Although they had been married for a year, Alexander and his wife had never slept in the same room together. This was something that he had always longed for, but he didn't dare to ask for fear of making things worse.It was a difficult situation, but Alexander knew that he had to keep going. He was grateful for his wife's love and support, and he knew that he couldn't give up on her. He hoped that they could start their own life together, away from the negativity and oppression of the Johnson family.Emily was the epitome of a perfect wife, and she was never one to be desperate for wealthy men.As Alexander gazed upon his wife standing at the entrace of the room, he wondered if he had misjudged her. Could it be that Emily never loved him?Expand

Return Through Magic Chapter 17: Reunited
“Wow, wow, wow. Why are you already here?”“Death God? Why are you flying like that?”Yuki found himself lying in a dark place, with light only illuminating the area around him and the Death God, Shinigami, who now hovered directly above him, staring down at his face with a mysterious gaze.Yuki shivered, feeling both unnerved and annoyed to be facing the being who had made his life a misery in the magical world. Curiosity gnawed at him; the Death God’s face, now so close, was hidden beneath the dark hood of his cloak, leaving only two glowing red dots visible. Those red dots seemed to lock onto Yuki’s gaze, forcing him to feel intimidated in the eerie silence.“How did you end up here? Didn’t I tell you to live long in that place?” The Death God’s bony index finger tapped Yuki’s forehead with a cold, piercing touch.“So, am I dead?” Yuki spoke unconsciously, his mind blank, unsure of how to process the possibility that he might have died a second time, especially since his mission wa

Return Through Magic Chapter 16: Fainting Again
“You lowly human. You will become my feast, and your soul will be offered to him, the ruler of the underworld. Ha-ha-ha.” The terrifying monster laughed in satisfaction.

"Seiryū no Inazuma... release!" Cornered, Yuki shouted with the last of his voice, channeling all his remaining energy into his sword. The blade glowed brilliantly before unleashing a massive wave of blue lightning.The innkeeper screamed as the lightning struck him, his grip on Yuki loosening. The magical force sent him flying into a distant wall."Bastard!" the innkeeper cursed, coughing up blood. Yuki's attack had undoubtedly shattered some of his bones.The innkeeper looked around as if searching for something.Meanwhile, Yuki collapsed to the ground, gasping for air.

Return Through Magic CHAPTER 14 - BLACK MAGIC
“You?!” The village elder and innkeeper were shocked when Yuki and Aira burst into her hideout. “How did you get here?” she asked again, her voice filled with disbelief.No wonder the old woman was surprised by their presence. She had expected Aira and Yuki to be unconscious from the drugged tea they were given.“Let them go!” Yuki demanded, trying to remain respectful despite facing someone older. However, his polite demeanor only seemed to enrage him further.“Pah! A mere child dares to command me?! You should have stayed quietly in your room, waiting for your turn to be sold. Your lives hold no value other than as commodities for the slave market.” The innkeeper spat on the floor, glaring at Yuki with contempt.“Why you…!” Yuki's expression twisted with anger. His grip tightened on the Seiryū no Inazuma in his hand.Aira, standing beside Yuki, was taken aback. She had never seen him so furious before.“Yuki….” Aira called out softly, sensing the intense emotion radiating from her p
