Of course, he was not completely heartless. There was sometimes that he felt that lying to Dylan that he was his real son was terrible. But eventually, Sinas managed to convince himself and forget about guilt by believing that Dylan was not even a real person.
He was nothing more than a mere copy of his real son.
Despite his situation, Sinas suddenly got curious. He kind of wondered what happened to the others that were still stuck in the forest. Did they return to their original time? Where they even still alive?
Or perhaps they were not far from him at that moment and also trying to survive?
Sinas shook his head. He needed to start canvassing and planning on how to structure and sell his lies about Arwin being alive.
But in fact… Unbeknownst to him, Arwin really was alive. Sinas just did no

Sinas looked at him cautiously. He silent for a while before he asked carefully again in a softer voice, “How did you see Arwin’s face? And where was it?”The prisoner hummed as if he was thinking of something. He then grinned, before speaking, “Not her face. Not clearly.” Then he continued to explain, “I saw a drawing of their captain one day when I was cleaning the decks. I realized one big secret the Night Rose hid from everyone.”Sinas frowned and got a little annoyed. The prisoner was delaying. “What is it?”The prisoner leaned in closer as his voice got softer. He replied, “Arwin is a girl.”There was a collective gasp of disbelief among the prisoners.They just could not put it around their head that the captain of the most notorious blood-thirsty pirate was a girl.How could that be?If that was true, then what kind of girl could achieve such a feat?<

Nexus pointed her fingers from what seemed to be a tower surrounded magnificently by the blue light, and all the way to the infrastructures, they lit up.Initially, Arwin was confused about what Nexus was doing, but that immediately turned into a deep fascination due to the things that she saw so far.She smiled to herself as she wondered if she could do such a thing as well in the future. However, her smile soon vanished, and it turned into a frown as she remembered her dear friend Mosse.He liked interesting pieces of stuff like these. He turned into an adult child most of the time. Mosse would have enjoyed the outside world so much.‘If only he was here…’ Arwin thought to herself bitterly. She rarely cries, but this would be one of those times as she felt her eyes stings.Nexus snapped her fingers to grab Arwin's attention. She looked at Arwin with concern before asking worriedly, “What’s the matt

"He told us all that is to know, and we built machines to keep them at bay, but… the longer they stay here, the longer they adapt. We fear that soon, Night Rose will learn all that we know, and we won't be able to stand a chance,” Nexus added, not hiding the worried expression on her face. She then continued, “We hold one of the rarest materials in the world. Tungsten- it’s very reliable for industrial creations.”Arwin was silent for a moment. She was thinking seriously before asking suddenly, “Years ago…? Is this person still alive?”Nexus smiled as she grabbed Arwin's arms. Arwin looked at her, baffled, but the other girl just remained silent.She waited patiently as Nexus brought her to a humble home just outside the residence of the village.Nexus said as they continued walking, “Despite the advancements the world has to offer, he prefers to live in his own time.”An oddly familiar

She was satisfied seeing Taflen happy and with a family. Thinking about it carefully, Arwin didn't want to drag Taflen into that mess again. She couldn’t. Especially when the incident happened.Taflen was living his second life in peace. She was not that selfish to take that away from him.The three of them shared a meal together.The table is decorated with cotton linen with a pirate pattern making Arwin chuckle. She muttered under her breath, “Still tacky as always.”“Dig in!” Nexus happily stated.They all ate together with the tuna casserole Taflen made earlier that day. Everything about seeing an old friend made Arwin nostalgic. She saw Taflen eating and laughing with his daughter, and Arwin realized the one thing she will never have.It’s this. Unlike Taflen, she can never settle down.It's her burden- a character flaw, if you will. Arwin cannot be tied down because no matter

John and Gloin couldn’t risk their identities since they’re clearly at a disadvantage.Given Gloin’s juggernaut, it still would not outstand the technologies they have seen there. Those guns that can shoot lightning or those tanks could kill them immediately.They were simply outnumbered and out-powered. Right now, their priority was to wait and stay there until Mark regains consciousness.Gloin reminded John, who was already on his way out, “Don’t forget. We’re mute, okay?”John makes an okay sign with his hand as he proceeds to step outside.John walks toward some abandoned factory near where they were staying. That town has a lot of those facilities like abandoned or unfinished buildings. Gloin says to John the moment they step foot there, he is home.He indeed is.The town has lots of builders like Gloin. They keep building every day just to satisfy their curiosity.John snickers at

They shout from across the room, "There's no running away now, newbie!"Sinas gritted his teeth as he suppressed his annoyance.Soon, they arrive at the main deck of the ship- the one he thrashed from yesterday. The skies were cloudy, and it almost seems like it's going to rain any time.Luther stands before him and then asked, "Did you get a goodnight's sleep?"“Barely.” Sinas replied, “Are you the one I have to kill? Then if I do, will I be the new standing captain?”Luther smirks before he responded, "Funny, but no. You will be fighting our new member. He just came in a couple days earlier than you did. Isn't that very?"“Why are you even looking for Arwin? How are you sure she’s here?” Sinas could not help but ask.Luther hummed in agreement without looking at him, “Hm.”“Why?” Sinas was curious. He wanted to prepare in case something else happen.Luth

“You’re joining Night Rose to find some cure, right?” Dylan asked with a knowing smile while looking at Sinas with disdain. He then added, “Then I can just tell everyone here that the truth.”Sinas did not say anything. Instead, he strikes Dylan to the head in hopes of shutting him up when suddenly, Dylan grabs Sinas' hand mid-air.He then head-butts Sinas that caused him to fell to the ground.Both their head was bleeding now, and Sinas was too far away from Dylan.Dylan stumbled but kept his feet planted on the ground. He was dizzy, and his gaze was spinning like crazy, but he still managed to smirk. It was like he knew that he still has the upper hand.Seeing him like this, Sinas felt suspicious, like something bad was going to happen.However, in Dylan's mind, if he fell here and now, he would take Sinas with him at least.Dylan knows that if he tells everyone the truth, the captain they were looking

Sinas gritted his teeth. His heart was still beating so hard, not only to Luther's sudden attack but also the way he was acting.Lunatic, that was the only word that Silas could describe Luther at that moment.Who in their right might would hurt themselves just for the fun of it? If Luther was trying to prove something, like he could Silas whenever he wanted to, he was well convincing. Silas resisted the urge to glare at the man in contempt. All he could do was go to the nearest chair and then sits down against his will."I knew it. You heard our conversation, and you killed Dylan because he was about to expose Arwin's death," Sinas said expressionlessly. However, his entire being was in turmoil. He was not sure if Luther was just trapping him or what.Then his body stiffened as if realization. His eyes bulged in disbelief as he mutters softly, “You… didn't want the crew to know her death too.” Sinas was not

Arwin walked calmly. Wendy saw her when the young woman said, “Yes, everything turned out for the best, they gave everyone immunity, and they decided to unsubscribe. The army’s way of doing things is not the best!”Wendy, with a smile, said, “It’s true. It is not! But it’s good that the republic doesn’t follow them anymore. They’ve been close to me for a long time, so you don’t have to worry!”Smiling, Arwin thanked him and said, “I know! The mafia has done a lot for us, and we are available. We will open a special commission agency, and we can take on any job. Any…!”Wendy, with a smile, said, “I’ll keep them in mind then… Tell me! On the hand, how does it work?Smiling, Arwin nodded, saying, “The hand works great! Just like Strickland’s arm, though, he only knows how to complain….!”Wendy nodded and, seeing Arwin said, “That’s great, but if you don’t need anything, what did you come to do? Just to say hello?”Arwin nodded and said, “I wanted to know how you were, but more than anyth

Arwin was unconscious and the warm hand of a person she knew brought her back to reality. Everything was collapsing, and a one-armed man was pushing hard to remove part of the railing that was above it.“Luca.”She whispered when she saw the effort that the man-made toward her. She placed both hands on the railing and, helping him between the two of them, managed to lift her, she looked at him, and he said, offering her a hand, “I was worried, and I came to see how you were!”She, smiling, took his hand and, standing up, said, “It was difficult, but I did it! Is dead!”Luca smiling, began to run to the side of Arwin. Both were injured but kept a steady pace walking to get out of that place. Arwin seeing him, looked at his bandaged leg and said, “You managed to beat Skyler!”The smiling young man looked at him and said, “Nine times out of ten, she would have lost… I was very lucky!”She looked at him and was sure that he was speaking sincerely. However, she also knew how efficient he w

Arwin looked at the man walking towards her. Her shirt fell to the ground and showed a torso full of scars. The man raised his hands, looked at the pirate, and said, “It is said that you were the captain of a pirate ship. Is that true?”Arwin tightened his muscles, and the smiling man said, “I also!”With speed, she approached. For Arwin, it was strange to see a person of that size move at such speed, the man launched two direct blows to Arwin’s face, and the young woman, moving her head from side to side, managed to avoid them.He prepared a strong uppercut and threw it at the girl’s face. She tilted her face back to avoid the blow, but she could only feel the impact and see the entire room move around her. She didn’t understand what was happening.She was sure she had dodged it, but now the whistle that deafened her ears was in accordance with the erratic movement of the lights when the next blow caught her in the stomach.She felt a powerful hollow in her stomach as her legs failed

Arwin looked straight ahead at the swordsman of the black knights, the corpses of his companions adorned the entire anteroom, and he said, smiling, “After killing you. I’ll go find that Skyler guy and finish him off!”She, smiling, calmly breathed as she squeezed the handle of her gun. In that place, the smell of blood began to permeate everything, and the man in front of her said, “This is it. It’s the end!”Taking a step forward, he pressed the handle of his sword. That action generated a reaction from Arwin, who, with full power, advanced. Their steps were synchronized, and in a fraction of a second, the blood on the ground splashed from their strong steps until they crossed each other and stayed behind their enemy.They both calmly smiled, and it was one of Arwin’s daggers that broke at that moment. She looked at it and straightened up, and looked back when she said, “The weapons of the black knights are unmatched!”Seeing the man, he fell to his knees, and slowly, his hands went

Luca watched Skyler. Every move in his mind ended with the man stabbing him somewhere in the body, and even though the sword was severed and its reach reduced, Skyler didn’t look fazed in the least.In a normal fight with a normal person, Luca would have the advantage because of his armory on his arm, but against Skyler, all those weapons were useless. Something about that person was extraordinary, and his ability to fight was beyond everyone’s expectations, including Luca’s.Skyler bending her knees forward, jumped towards him, Luca raised his arm, trying to anticipate the blow, but the union member did not reveal his attack until the last minute.With a precise sword strike to the abdomen, Skyler made Luca step back, activating the barrel of his weapon. He opened his palm so that it pointed at Skyler, and the young man, only leaning forward a little, managed to dodge the shot.Swinging his sword hard, he hit Luca’s arm with the edge making his hand do a huge flip, and with his bare

Arwin and his men arrived at the antechamber of the emperor’s room. They all looked at the door ornamented with the symbol that was the shield of the empire on the doorknobs while they breathed deeply. Arwin said, “Once we go in, probably if we find opposition, they have to be careful and attack firmly. We don’t know what’s in store for us!”But that was not entirely true, and she had a clear notion of what was waiting for her behind that door. Seeing her companions before entering, she said, “Listen, if there are any black knights entering behind this door, I want you to retreat immediately… if you stay, you will die!”One of the soldiers saw her and said, “We will not retreat. If we even die, we have to make sure to make your mission easier, and if the black knights are behind this door, then we will have to face them, that’s all!”She smiled, the support of her men always lovely, and kicking the door hard, she had a split second to see the formation in front of her.Four soldiers a

Holly looked back and could see Loid storming in, firing her gun and sliding on her knees to get behind the wall her grenade had built. Seeing Holly, she asked, “Are you okay?”She was happy to see him and smiling. She nodded, breathing deeply. Loid saw how a fragment of the wall deteriorated and, looking to the side, said, “First, we must move. This won’t last long!”Coming out of the side of the wall, he raised his rifle and, firing several times, managed to hit Ben in the chest, knocking him to the ground. Looking at Holly, they both began to run at full speed towards another iron container.From the ground, Ben threw his nails, trying to kill them, but they moved quickly and managed to take cover.Loid was surprised, and seeing Ben stand up, he asked, “I gave him six shots. How the hell is he intact?”Holly, with a hint of frustration in her voice, said, “He’s reborn. I shot him in the head, an explosion with a grenade, I even hit him with a forklift, and he’s still whole. It won’

Luca was right in front of his enemy. The man in the white suit was smiling despite the wound on his shoulder. The man was looking at Luca carefully when he said, “Do you think you can survive this time? This injury was because you took me by surprise!”With those words, the man threw himself on Luca. He threw a hook hoping that Luca would protect himself but instead, the soldier moved his head from the place of the impact avoiding the blow with ease.The man looked at that, but, far from being discouraged, he launched a strong kick to the abdomen, but Luca, moving with his legs, got out of the reach of the blow. The man started throwing combination after combination, but Luca moved his body kept away from him.The frustrated man felt the pain in his shoulder when Luca smilingly said, “It’s not space mechanics. If I can’t cover myself, then I’m going to dodge everything you throw… your physical condition isn’t very good!”The smiling man shook his head and said, “As if they hadn’t tri

Arwin was running at full speed. The corridors turned into different paths but they had their path well established. They exactly knew which direction to go thanks to Holly’s help. However, the girl had stopped responding, and that puzzled Arwin a bit as he advanced with a glance. A quick glance at the troops that were with her, the girl stopped.She was looking at her men curiously when one of the Mafia soldiers asked, “What’s wrong, Arwin?”She is a quick movement, took out her dagger and, throwing it at full speed, stabbed one of the mafia soldiers directly in the chest, and all the soldiers raised their rifles to point at her. They were terrified when she, without paying any attention to them, saw how the man stabbed in the ground became another person.The guards looked at each other and saw Arwin, and the girl said, “Apparently, he can change his appearance and clothes at will... I don’t know when he replaced one of you, but he did!”One of the mafia soldiers looked at her in su
