The Illicitor's Code #1 164: Episode Bonus #6
The unpleasant incident occurred one month after Amma became a partner veterinarian at the clinic where she worked.At that time, Dim-Dim had so many patients arriving that the waiting room was full. There was a child who brought twelve of his cats to be injected for scabies, and there was a dog that slipped from the third floor and needed immediate surgery. The dog's case was so severe that Dim-Dim had to consult with his university professor. He was in the midst of this important meeting via Skype when a wealthy man arrived with a bodyguard.Billy barged in uninvited into Dim-Dim's workspace, startling Dim-Dim and Ron, who were deeply engaged in a discussion with the university professor."What's going on? You can't just barge in like this!" protested Ron, but Billy's bodyguard immediately pushed him aside, causing Billy to cough and bow."Are you the owner of this clinic?" Billy asked Dim-Dim."Yes, and who are you?" Dim-Dim asked. "We're busy here.""I'm engaged to one of the vete

Therefore, the next day, after the clinic closed and they ensured the safety of the animals (Ron stayed at the clinic to ensure this), Amma and Dim-Dim dressed in their finest suits and went to visit Amma's parents at their luxurious home in Brooklyn.Dim-Dim was nervous, knowing he had never been very fond of parents. Nevertheless, he straightened his back and walked calmly beside Amma, entering the mansion.Dim-Dim had worked hard all this time, so his assets had soared. He invested his wealth, doubling the amount, but he still kept the money. If he had to use it, Dim-Dim thought about using it to expand their animal clinic building, adding more waiting room space, and building a new examination room for Amma.Now he would use some of that money to propose to the most beautiful girl he had ever met in his life, who not only came from a wealthy family but also had her own fortune."Ma, Pa, this is my future husband," Amma said to her parents as they were greeted by servants entering
The Illicitor's Code #1 166: Bonus Episode #8
Dear, Dim-Dim, the greatest veterinarian in the world! (if not in my heart)Right now I'm in a city that is extremely remote on the border between Malaysia and Thailand. It's nice here. The air is humid and warm. The children here are quite friendly. Currently, it's Eid, so the adults are distributing food and money. I don't have much money (I think I'm broke!) so I treated them to ice cream. Look at our photo eating ice cream, isn't it sweet? I will return to France, to work and earn money to travel the world again. But I thought I'd visit you first before becoming a corporate slave again, for motivation. See you at your clinic!With love, Velicia.PS: I attached my phone number. By the time my letter arrives, I should be in your country!The letter arrived the next day, along with a piece of paper containing a phone number and a photo of a woman with curly red hair eating ice cream with five children who appear to be locals. They looked happy, so Dim-Dim felt a little jealous.Dim-D

Dim-Dim: "A little sad. Why did it end like this? I mean, why didn't you give me a cool scene where I save my friends and family?" Writer: "Are you disappointed? Weren't you loved in this story?" Dim-Dim: "Honestly, I feel bad for Velicia. I should have been the one to save her, not the other way around." Writer: "Why? Is this about toxic masculinity?" Dim-Dim: "Oh God, Justin, tell her what toxic masculinity is!" Justin: "Don't look at me. I'm always on the writer's side. We agree on playing it safe, buddy!" Dim-Dim: "Amma, are you on my side?" Amma: "Honestly, I wonder why I'm always paired with toxic guys. I mean, I'm toxic. I know what toxic is, author. Why do you make me out to be a clueless girl who doesn't know her boyfriend is toxic?" Writer: "I—I'm sorry, Amma." Velici
The Illicitor's Code #1 001: The Beginning of Everything
In The Hague, February 15th, 2100.The flashes of camera lights from dozens of journalists crowding the street towards the entrance of the international court building almost blinded him, but the old man ignores them. With quick and confident steps, he ensured that his old legs could walk step by step."Doctor ZA, as someone who created monsters that almost destroyed the human population, did you ever regret?" asked a journalist, along with others that also intercepting the old man with ridiculous questions."Can you tell us what motivated your decision to create monsters that only prey on humans, Doctor ZA?"The old man snorted. For a moment, he let the police who escorting him clear the journalists from his path—until a captivating question caught his ear."Doctor ZA, Can you tell us the story behind—""Story? Oh, I love telling a story," the old man laughed, raising one arm to silence the journalists as he spoke. "It's a story about—what's it called?—ah, a world heading towards the
The Illicitor's Code #1 002: The Presages
On the next morning, dawn came earlier than usual. Dim-Dim—who has felt something strange with his body since yesterday—sat up from his bed and touched his forehead; his temperature was normal.Hm. Weird.His hand moved down to touch his neck, and then he felt his skin tingling beneath his touch. As if there was a subtle movement there; moving up, up, up slowly, towards his face.Panicked, he threw off the blanket and leaped to the mirror attached to the wardrobe, then stared carefully at his neck and face. The lantern light give a pale reflection to his face and turn it gray—grayish like bird feathers with its patterns as well. He blinked in surprise, touched his face, and suddenly his face color returned to normal. But he was sure he had glimpsed his eyes turning red.Could he be turning into a bird? A hawk, maybe?"Well, that's just crazy!" he said to his reflection in the mirror while laughing. But he tilted his head for a moment, gazing at his reflection for a few more seconds, a
The Illicitor's Code #1 003: Monsters in Toronto
As dawn broke, sharp, piercing, ear-splitting roars suddenly echoed from a distance, startling Dim-Dim out of his pleasant dream of rowing a boat and causing him to wake up, jerking in shock and tumbling off his bed.While rubbing his head with a confused look, Dim-Dim heard the sound of the danger alarm echoing throughout the city. A warning that there are monsters in the city.But—isn't that impossible?No, only monsters can cause a venator appear in the city. This was a reason why Ms. Clark appeared in Toronto.Panicked, Dim-Dim rushed to Damian's room across his and pushed the door open. "Ms. Cl—" he began, but the Venator was nowhere to be found.Hurrying to the living room, Dim-Dim found his mother asleep on the sofa, wearing headphones. "There are monsters, Mama," he said after removing her headset. "Mama! Wake up!"Outside the house, the sound of fleeing residents' footsteps could be heard, and Dim-Dim shook his mother's body even harder. "MAMA!"When his mother finally woke u
The Illicitor's Code #1 004: The Safe City
As the van finally departed, Dim-Dim lay on the mattress, observing the only member of his brother's team whose name he didn't know. The man was slim, not too tall but not short either, and he was lazily lounging beside Dim-Dim on the mattress while texting on his cell phone with someone—looking bored. When Dim-Dim tried to find a weapon on the man's body, he glanced at Dim-Dim with his narrow eyes and said, "Say what you want, Kid.""Nothing," Dim-Dim replied spontaneously.The man scanned his face for a moment, and after that turned his head to Dim-Dim's older brother who was fast asleep on the mattress beside him. Then he looked at Dim-Dim again."You ain't look like your brother. Not even a little bit. You're also not as strong as him, even in bear form," he whispered. "Your superpowers are pretty useless, huh?"Dim-Dim's cheeks flushed. But before he could think of something to reply, he heard his brother's hoarse voice."Leave my brother alone, Parenzee."The man beside Dim-Dim
