Rin could feel the pain fading slowly and steadily. While it was true that he had been bullied a lot, it was not an injury that he would suffer in a single day. He had been getting hit in the same spot for an entire year which made his bones quite vulnerable.
But at the same time, the bones were slowly becoming strong. After the healing, the vulnerability would disappear and only the strength of the bones would remain to make them quite strong for any normal human of his age.
‘I have to pretend to be asleep for a little longer.’, Rin kept on pretending to be asleep.
Yes, as the healing continued, he did peek once or twice to see the book, but the light was too blinding due to which, he failed to even take a glance of the grimoire.
He kept his eyes shut nevertheless and waited for the maids to leave the room. It was quite a nostalgic feeling – pretending to be asleep, that is.
Soon May had finished healing Rin completely. Lala finished her work too. She had to put up the expensive curtains on the windows in order to cover the view from outside.
That was what she was instructed to do and thus she finished right after which both of them left the room without making even the faintest of noise.
Rin then finally opened his eyes and sat upright.
He then pulled his shirt up and looked at the places where he had previously gotten hurt and injured.
‘Wow, there is no pain at all.’
‘I have never felt so good in my entire life.’, he said with a smile.
A young boy, going to school while tolerating the pain at every moment – That was Rin.
He neither had the money nor the resources to visit a doctor to get cured. Only the nurse, Ms. Reena, was the only one who used to look after him.
And he was about to get out of bed and stretch his body to feel the great sensation, the door opened suddenly. Another maid walked in with a lot of expensive clothes but as soon as she entered, she found that Rin was awake and standing.
“Uh, this-”, Rin was about to give some random reason because he thought that it was the same maid who entered after May.
But even before he could say anything, the maid that just entered, immediately bowed.
“I greet the Young Master.”
“Please, forgive me for my insolence. I thought you were asleep and didn’t want to disturb you due to which I barged in without your permission.”, her tone was wavy.
It was as if she was nervous or to be precise, frightened.
*gulp*
‘My God, what did I just do?’
‘I barged into the prince’s room.’
‘Why will he just forgive me?’
‘I have to receive some punishment!’, she decided everything on her own.
Perhaps, this was the view that the royalty gave to the commoners and servants.
“Young master, you can give me any punishment. I will accept it.” – while she did say it boldly, her entire body was trembling.
Rin could see that and felt that there was no need for her to go to such lengths.
“Ah, it’s okay. No need to”. Rin replied immediately.
“Just go out for now.”, he said.
She was, at first, surprised by Rin’s response, but after he ordered her to leave, she snapped out of confusion.
As soon as she heard this, she stood up and left the room.
“Thank you, young master.”, she murmured.
She then recalled that Vars had asked all the maids to inform him when Rin was awake so she rushed to Vars’ office and informed him about what he had asked.
“He is awake!?”, Vars got out of his chair and swiftly walked towards the room where Rin was present.
He too, before entering the door, knocked on it.
*knock knock*
‘’Young Master, may I come in?”, Vars asked.
“Y-yes.”, Rin replied instantly.
Vars then entered the room and glanced at Rin, he then smiled after seeing that Rin was perfectly fine.
‘He…?’
‘Isn’t he the same person?’, Rin was a bit suspicious of Vars.
“Young master, are you fine?”, he asked.
‘Why is he calling me young master?’
‘Come to think of it, didn’t that lady also call me the same? And those other maids also referred to me that way.’, Rin recalled.
“Yes. I am fine.”, he replied.
“Thank God.”
“Young master, I am so happy that I found you.”, he said.
“…”
“Young master…?”, Vars called Rin out because he seemed lost.
Rin then asked, “Why are you calling me that way?”
“Young master, I know it is rude to call you this way but in the Human World, I think it will be safe if I refer you like this.”
“Once we return to Werewoll, we will call you as Your Highness.”, he bowed his head while saying this.
This just kept becoming weird.
“No!”
“What I wanted to know is why are you calling me that?”
“I am no young master, nor am I someone who should be referred that way.”, Rin argued.
“Young master, I guess you have no memory of your parents.”
“That’s why you are saying this.”, Vars said.
“…”
“How…?”
“How do you know that?”, Rin asked.
“Haha, young master, earlier you trusted me when I mentioned that I will tell you about your parents, then why don’t you trust me now?”
“Please hear me out, I will be telling you everything about your past and about the secrets of this world which normal humans don’t know about.”
“You will soon learn many things in detail once we arrive at Werewoll, but for now, I will be telling you some basic details.”
Vars then thought about first revealing the secrets of the world.
He thought that it would be best to keep the details about his parents away from him for a little longer. If he were to become sad, then he might not be ready to hear other things.
“Young master, you are-”
“Young Master, you are the son of our late King Rion Weros.” “Huh?”, Rin was surprised by what Vars said. He had no idea who the person was. “But my father’s name is-” And even before Rin could state out his father’s name, Vars said, “Rios, right?” “…” “Yes.” ‘That is indeed my father’s name.’ His memories had been whipped out. Only some records in the form of photos were left in his house. So only with that, he remembers his parent's faces. Only because of those photos could he remember about his brother. But their names, he could barely remember it. He could only recall his father’s name. He didn’t even know his mother’s name nor his brother’s. Because of this, when sometimes the teacher would ask him to fill out an application, he would only fill in his father’s name. He couldn’t even fill in his father’s full name and would only just write one word. Due to this, he was often hit by h
The vampires hunted him in secret when he was traveling with his wife. The elves used their powers to kill them too. While Rios was so strong that he was able to fend off their attacks, Nia was taken as a hostage. She was captured because she tried to help Rios. Her Grimoire was snatched away from her and blades and guns were pointed at her. She was pregnant too, so of course, she was in her most vulnerable state. “You bastards…” “Let go of her.”, Rios said while glaring at the vampires who had captured her. “What would you do, if we don’t?”, a vampire asked. Rios grit his teeth and in a rage, transformed into his original state. Actually, whenever a non-human transforms into a human, his/her power is decreased significantly. Only when they return to their original form will they be able to use all of their powers. Yes, that was the case for Werewolves too. A pact between Inhumans and Humans was made whi
“And then he ended up choosing your mother and you.”“He was then forced to swear on his Grimoire after which he was sent to the home.”“And then soon a week passed when you were born.”“That was probably the happiest moment of your dad.”“Your mother passed away right after you were born and probably because of that you don’t remember anything about your mother.”“Mother passed away when I was born?”, Rin asked.Vars nodded his head.Rios’ mother passed away because she was assassinated but Rin’s mother died because she lost all her strength during childbirth.Rin shed a few tears when he heard this. His heart broke down. But weirdly enough, he could recall her smile.‘Wait, if mom died right after she gave birth to me, then whose smile is this?’, he asked himself.The face was invisible and everything else seeme
He finally gave up on saying that Rin’s brother was dead and changed the answer. “You aren’t strong enough to know about this, young master.”, Vars said. “I’m not strong enough to hear what?” “…” “Young Master, your brother is alive but right now, he is not in good shape.” “He is held captive by the Vampires who demanding the Royal Crest of Werewoll.”, Vars said. Yes, Vars finally decided to reveal everything to Rin. He knew that Rin would blame him later if his brother were to die. Rin asked, “Then, does that mean brother was ruling the kingdom all this time?” “No, young master.” “Her highness, Seria, was the one who was handling the matters.” “She didn’t ascend the throne but kept the matters in check.”, Vars said. Seria was Rios’ first wife. She was quite a powerful and bold woman due to which Rios fell in love with her. She didn’t ascend the throne because she thought
Yes, the vampire that was torturing Ezek was the same age as Rin. He was the Vampire King’s youngest son and loved torturing and playing lives.Countless lives of various races who had become servants and slaves had been taken by him. He wasn’t necessarily a psychopath, but he was no less than that at the same time.He laughed hysterically as he continued to whip Ezek.‘Ugh.’Ezek kept bearing every lash because this had become a daily thing for him. The guards and only this bastard vampire would come to torture him every day. The guards would do this to let go of their frustration, if any, and the prince only because he got joy from it.As mentioned earlier, Ezek’s eyes were lifeless. It seemed as if he didn’t want to continue to live, but he was still holding on to his life.‘Damn…’‘If only I hadn’t been careless.’He did have some regrets.As me
‘I didn’t even notice it earlier…’‘Wait, does that mean he has been caught?’‘Or did they create this illusion to lure me and try to get all the information out of me…’, Ezek thought.‘But I won’t be speaking anything.’He decided not to speak even a single word, since only if he spoke would they find out any secrets that he had.‘I am not definitely sure that this is an illusion.’, earlier he suspected and believed partially that this was an illusion, but after feeling the stable mana inside his body as if there was no fluctuation, he understood that this was an illusion.‘But now I need to figure out a way to get out of this.’, Ezek thought....*yawns*Rin wakes up from his sleep. He got a wonderful sleep yesterday and that was probably because of the comfortable bed and the healing spell which May cast o
‘Looks like I nailed it.’, Rin nodded his head.He then started eating the deliciously cooked breakfast.The chef was quite scared now. Earlier, he thought that he would at least be alive if the prince was to dislike the food – this was what he judged after hearing from the maids about his character.But now, if the prince disliked it, he wouldn’t hesitate to chop off his head – the chef was literally shivering due to the fear that had engulfed him completely.*gulp*He was continuously swallowing a large amount of dry saliva as he looked at Rin, cutting and eating the steak that he had prepared.As soon as Rin put the cut piece in his mouth, flavors started overflowing.He was overjoyed by the taste of it.He had been surviving all these days without having anything proper to eat. The only things that he consumed in a day were some cereals and canned food. Rarely would he get cup-noodles for himse
This was how they would fight. Of course, the energy that would be required was none other than mana. Yes, mana would act as a fuel whenever the spells from Grimoire and Crests were used. So these were the basic power bases when it came to using spells. Other than this, there were many other things. The Inhumans sometimes have the same spells, but when they use them, their power levels end up being different. The reason for that is their cultivation and rankings, which include leveling up or breaking through to the next level. As mentioned earlier, werewolves had to store and cultivate the energy called Wereflux. With the help of this, they would slowly increase in rank. The higher the rank, the stronger the spells will be and each spell will increase in power, efficiency, and output. So, in order to differentiate, they are given ranks as well. This ranking was suggested by the first King who ruled the entire NetherWorld. The r
But the shock did not last for long as letting out a long breath, ron forced himself to calm down. He had been trained for incomprehensible situations such as these, and thus he knew best that he had to remain coolheaded.Losing his mind at the moment would not benefit him in the slightest.And so, lifting his head and staring at Ren right in the eyes, he coldly muttered."I don't know how you are alive...but it doesn't matter."Turning his head and staring at the building in the distance, calmness returned to his face."You think you'll be fine if you do anything to me? You forget who is inside of that building?"The edges of his lips curled upward. Confidence rose in his voice, as he realized that Ren couldn't do anything to him.The situation was strange. For Ren to have been able to get some people to lead him here, he definitely must've asked for a few favours, but that didn't He knew just how valuable his life was, and his death would only lead to his eventual death.Ron clicked
Excellent!"Joyously shouted Roseal as he stared at a small monitor before him. Extending from the monitor were multiple wires that attached themselves to an individual. Subject 996"Who would've thought that patient that I had put the least hopes on would end up being the one that I have the most hope for."He was truly delighted.Out of all the promising patients he had, 996 seemed to be the ones displaying the most obvious signs of success.At the moment, subject 996 was going through a virtual simulation. Inside the virtual simulation, then he was put under multiple different trials. The trails although different were all things that would cause any sane man to feel fluctuations in their emotions. From killing civilians to committing terrorist acts, or dying in multiple different ways.At the moment, both the MRI machine and Holter monitor were currently showing no unusual fluctuations. This meant that subject 996was currently in the exact state Roseal was trying to achieve.A sta
After killing multiple black-clad individuals, Reynold appeared before Emma as he heavily panted for air. "Huff…yes, thanks" Similarly gasping for breath and nodding her head, Emma's eyes darted all over the place as she looked at all of the battles happening around her. "What's going on? where are the professors?" "I don't know" Shaking his head, he looked just as confused as Emma… Logically speaking with everything that was happening around them, the professors would've already come down to help them as they wouldn't stand there and just watch the students die. It had to be noted that a lot of the students here were sons and daughters of very influential figures. Yet with everything going on around them, they still weren't here. That only meant one thing… Thinking that far, he clenched his fists and looked at Emma who seemed to have had the same thought as him. They were on their own… -Woosh! -Woosh! -Woosh! Snapping Emma and Reynold out of their thoughts, three streaks
As his emotions returned, Ren's face repeatedly changed as he felt his shoulder twitch uncontrollably. === -Clank! -Clank! -Clank! Surrounded by three black-clothed individuals, Reynold swiftly moved around his apartment hacking at them with his sword whenever he saw an opening. -Clank! "khhh…" Parrying his sword, one of the black-clad individuals signalled to the other two people to attack at the same time. Noticing their sign, Reynold forcefully twisted his body and defended against two attacks coming from his left and right side. -Clank! -Clank! "khhh…" Barely blocking the attacks, he took a few steps back as beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. Looking at the three black-clad individuals before him, Reynold couldn't help but curse. "Damm it" Whoever the trio was, they knew about his attack pattern and the sword art he used. From the way he attacked and his habits, they knew them all. It seemed that whoever they were, they had done their research on him and had c
With Emma in his arms, pain flashed across his face as his body trembled uncontrollably. Then, raising his head and staring at the sky, towards the red mass in the far distance, Ren screamed at the top of his lungs. "Haaaaaaaa!" His desperate and pained cry resounded through the whole world. * Inside of a tent, not far from where Ren was. A male stared at the panel displaying the battle that was ensuing. His eyes were devoid of any emotions. There was deep ruthlessness hidden within them. Staring at Reb who was mourning Emma's death, the male did not feel anything. Rather, there was a trace of disgust on his face. Tapping onto his right ear to cut off the communication device, he took his eyes away from the screen. "...How useless." His emotionless voice rang through the room. "You had one job, and one job only. Defeat him, yet, you let such emotions sway you. How many times does this make it?" Deep disappointment flashed across his eyes as he stared at a small flask in his
Slowly, cuts started appearing all over his body. For the next minute or so, Reynold was slowly but surely being driven towards a corner. To the spectators, it looked as though he was about to lose.But."Tsk."He suddenly clicked his tongue. Almost instantaneously, a tremendous hue wrapped around his daggers.Taking a step forward, his body suddenly melted into the darkness.SHIIIIING!Appearing right in front of them, Reynold thrust his daggers forward as he performed an odd combo. His first strike was a powerful strike that shot up like lightning, followed by consecutive strikes that could seemingly sever rivers.With each strike, the dagger's pattern became more and more eccentric. At one point, one of the daggers followed a path that was similar to that of a snake. Almost impossible to predict.Under the barrage of attacks, Aerin and Nicholas both cooperated and tried their best to defend themselves against Reynold's weird attacks.However, they knew that they were once again at
Bang bang.Everyone's eyes focused on the arena. This was one of the most anticipated battles.[Aron vs Ren]Already ten days had passed in the blink of an eye and according to the people, these two people were tge strongest.*"Ha, I have to end this battle soon.""Monarchs's eye."—Rustle! —Rustle!The rustling sound of vegetation being pushed to the side echoed across the surroundings as two figures stood on opposite ends.Standing on one side was Ren's cold figure, whilst on the other side was Aaron."You shouldn't have let me catch up with you."Aaron playfully smiled.In response to Aaron's provocation, Ren's face remained indifferent as he coldly said."Move out of the way.""…Oh? Why should I?""…"Ren did not respond.Placing his hand on the sheath of his sword, he started channelling his mana."Hmmm"Feeling the fluctuations coming from Ren's body, Aaron's face became serious. He soon disappeared.Just like before, Aaron reappeared right in front of Ren. Thrusting his dagger
His body twitched with annoyance as the white reaper felt his other's emotions run down his body. The Duke's resistance irritated him. "It's funny how you think you can do something to me now that we're both in the same ranks again. You couldn't do anything when we were of the same rank before, yet you think a small power-up would make a difference?" his fingers pressed against Duke Azenoch's arm as he squeezed his hand. The Duke's face changed, but his hand continued to squeeze before it compressed it completely and he was able to close his hand into a fist. White reaper could feel the bones of the demons crush inside the palm of his hands. "Don't annoy me any further." Pulling his hand back, the hand tore off of the Duke's body and blood began to slowly spill out. his other self glanced at the torn-up hand for a brief moment before throwing it behind him, only to see it stop mid-air and fall at the same pace time was moving at. The same could be said for the blood as it rema
But that wasn't what concerned Lightning Dragon. His concern was that the White Reaper on stage wasn't the one he had fought. 'His mana control, it's completely different from when we fought. In addition, he moves a lot more efficiently than in the past. Every one of his movements seems to be perfectly calculated, and...hm?' His thoughts paused for a second. Leaning his body closer, his eyes opened widely as he pressed his hand on the window to get a better look at the fight. 'Wait…' His eyes slowly started to enlarge. "That…" Opening and closing his mouth, his face paled as he came to a sudden realization. 'He's standing where he was at the beginning of the fight.' No, rather, he was only one step ahead of where he previously stood. This… Who in the world was this? Was he the White Reaper he had once fought? 'Impossible.' Lightning Dragon shook his head. The undeniable reality in front of him shook him to the core. It was at that moment. "Enough!" He was jolted out
