Four months had passed since their wedding, and it had been nothing short of bliss. Aiden recalled, a month after his marriage, he had the privilege of being the best man at Gregg's wedding to Zin. It was another day of joy and friendship, another day of unforgettable memories. As he watched his friend recite his vows, he couldn't help but feel a sense of profound happiness. It was as if life had come full circle, their shared dreams finally coming true.Now, Aiden found himself in the grandeur of his living room, the plush furnishings reflecting his luxurious lifestyle. His gaze lingered on a group photo from his own wedding that hung on the wall, the silver frame capturing the raw, unfiltered happiness of that day. James, the ever-loyal butler, had snapped the photo, capturing a moment of pure joy, their faces alive with laughter and love.A smile tugged at his lips as his eyes scanned the faces in the frame-his radiant wife, Risa, Gregg, Zin, and Mr. Smith. It was a precious mement
Raymond didn't miss the nervous look in Aiden's eyes, and he gestured to the waitress, indicating for two more coffees. "Don't look so worried, Aiden," he began, leaning back in his chair. "I'm not here to stir up trouble, quite the opposite, in fact."Aiden gave a small laugh, rubbing the back of his neck. "You have a knack for popping up unexpectedly, Raymond," he said, meeting the older man's gaze. Raymond chuckled, a sound that reminded Aiden of crunching autumn leaves. "Guilty as charged," he admitted. "But it's the only way to catch you off guard, isn't it?"The two men shared a smile, the ice of formality finally beginning to thaw. When their coffees arrived, Aiden took a moment to appreciate the smell, the warmth of the cup soothing his nerves.Raymond's knowing smile widened as he caught sight of the green card. "I see you've been putting that to good use," he said, pouring a cup of coffee for Aiden. "Now tell me, how have you been?"Aiden hesitated for a moment, not sure wh
The Green Dragon bar was alive with energy as Aiden stepped through the door. He was a tall, handsome man with jet-black hair and piercing blue eyes. His chiseled jawline and prominent cheekbones made him look like he belonged on the cover of a magazine.Dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit, Aiden made his way through the crowded bar towards a table filled with friends. As he approached, he could hear the raucous laughter and cheers emanating from the group."Free drinks for everyone!!!" he shouted, standing atop another guy lying face down over several tables. The crowd erupted into cheers, and people began dancing wildly on top of the tables.A waitress approached him with three glasses, and he thanked her before turning his attention back to the lady leaning against him. She wore a tight red bodycon dress that showed off every curve of her body, and she smiled seductively through heavily painted eyelids."Mr. Aiden, I'm having a great evening," she purred, leaning forward to k
Aiden sat alone on his couch, his eyes blankly staring ahead. His frustration had been building for days, and it had finally reached its boiling point. Without warning, he picked up an empty glass cup and threw it across the living area, shattering it into a million pieces.The sound echoed through the house, causing the servants inside to look curiously at their master. Aiden didn't care; he was too consumed by his anger to worry about their opinions.The door opened, and Raymond stepped forward, wearing black leather gloves over his hands. The other hand held a briefcase wrapped securely under his arm.Looking down at the broken shards scattered along the carpet, he walked closer and kicked on a shard sticking halfway out of the wood frame beneath the coffee table. It snapped free, easily falling apart into two pieces."What a temper you got there, young lad!" said Raymond, his tone light-hearted.Aiden's eyes flickered towards Raymond before returning to his blank stare, "Why should
The voice coming from the computer-like system sounds monotonous yet soothing enough to calm even the most anxious person. It speaks with an accent that Aiden can't quite place, but it's not important right now. Aiden looks around the room, trying to get his bearings, but everything feels surreal."You're a system...a program…an AI…" Aiden stammers, recalling all the fictional stories he had been told by his father while growing up. His father used to tell him tales of magical creatures living among humans disguised as ordinary people. He always claimed that every human being could potentially become part fairy tale creature given their willingness to believe."'Dragon companion', huh?" Aiden asks with a smirk, quickly responding to the question he was asked. "Please tell me more..."[Transportation to Azeroth via teleportation gate. Please wait ten seconds before departure. Have fun exploring the land of the supernatural]"What? Wait, hold on now—" Aiden yells, but then he notices som
The man turned towards him and said, "It's going to happen tonight."Aiden was confused and asked, "Tonight? What's going on tonight?"The man looked at him as if he were crazy and then explained, "The ceremony. The one that happens once a year."Aiden nodded, pretending to understand, and then walked away. He couldn't help but feel intrigued by the strange behavior of the people and decided to stay and observe.As the day turned into night, the crowd started to grow larger, and the chanting got louder. Aiden could feel the energy building up in the air, and he wondered what was going to happen next.Suddenly, a woman with a painted face approached him and said, "you look lost. Can I help you?"Aiden looked at her, surprised by her kindness, and said, "sure?"The woman smiled and said, "This is the Night of the gods. It's a celebration that honors the ancient mythical creatures that once roamed our lands. We gather here every year to pay our respects and to offer them gifts."[Would yo

He looks at his bracelet, wondering how something so tiny could fit in other items once he begins his collection process.Patiently waiting for his syste
Lyris' eyes gleamed with intensity as she gazed at Aiden, her words carrying an air of mystery and intrigue. [Rydel was a wise man, Aiden. He understood the value of the system and used it to his advantage. But that is not all he did. Your father was a key player in the realm, and he was caught in situations beyond his control.]Aiden's mind raced as he struggled to comprehend the gravity of Lyris' revelation. His father, a key player in the other realm? It was all too much to take in. "Why are you telling me this?" Aiden asked, his voice trembling slightly.Lyris smiled enigmatically, her words laced with purpose. [Because, host, you have a part to play in all of this. Your destiny is intertwined with the realm, and it is time for you to embrace it.]Aiden's shock quickly turned to guilt as he looked down at the bedsheet, feeling as though he had committed a crime. In a rush, he picked up his phone and dialed the only number he knew had a connection to all of this, but his calls to th
