Cassio wouldn't have realized he had spent so much time at the study if he hadn't checked the wall clock at the dining."Eight O'clock!" he couldn't help but exclaim. He had actually spent hours in the study. If Chase's barking had not interrupted him, he believed he would have spent more time.He met Mrs. Damien serving dinner, her face as calm as ever with a beaming smile. Dinner was actually some milky cheesecakes with strawberries. The air around the dining was filled with a fragrance of the sweet fruits and a mild aroma of the hot cheesecakes."Good evening, mum," Cassio greeted as he sat down. He wanted to ask Mrs. Damien if she just came or had returned since but kept his mouth shut. He didn't remember anything about when Mrs. Damien usually returned from work and chose to keep quiet about it in order not to garner any suspicion."Work was so stressing today, Cassio," Mrs. Damien complained. "I mean, I could only return home Eight-Fifty!"Pheeew...She said it herself, Cassio he
Two weeks have passed since Cassio joined the Arcane Safety Department and he had made groundbreaking records, shocking everyone with his achievements. He had solved several crime cases in a these two weeks. Although his groundbreaking records couldn't match with Walter's and the crime cases he solved were not supernatural, it was still something to talk about in the news. Many senior Arcane Guards envied him because of this.The most groundbreaking record was changing the name of magic practitioners which had been widely accepted in Duchy and probably in other two countries. Every orthodox magic practitioner now saw themselves as Magicians while the heterodox ones saw themselves as Sorcerers. Cassio sat in his room, busy with work. Lying on the table before him were a pack of cards, a mirror and a black block-like object. This object was very small—even smaller than a bar of soap. Both hands worked with vigor as they fiddled with the components of the object. There were screws and n
Cassio sat in the settee, watching Wilfred read the report in silence. The other team members were here as well, all of them very quiet.After some minutes, Wilfred cleared his throat and said, "This case has been already solved by you, Cassio. No need to go through it again.""It has been solved by me? How?" Cassio asked, not understanding how the case about Strange Cult had been solved. He felt that even though he had successfully stopped the ritual and killed the three men, there would be other Strange Cult members lurking in the shadows. That was what happened in the movies he watched back on Earth."Yes, it's been solved," Wilfred nodded. "We've done a clean sweep of everything. There are several Heterodox cults which are growing out of the shadows. Although these Heterodox cults are several, the members aren't many. Most of these cults are very new and have few members as low as three. Strange Cult is one of them.""Oh," Cassio finally got the point. Then he asked, "That means I
Somewhere in MythVille CityOut of the puddle of water on the ground, Cassio emerged to the bewilderment of everyone. Traveller couldn't be used to travel over long distances so he had to keep using it to travel over short distances till he reached his destination.Everything was becoming fishy now. First, he was given the Book of Mysteries by Old Thompson. Secondly, he was transmigrated into this world by this Book of Mysteries. Thirdly, ever since his transmigration, this same Book was lost till this moment! He felt that some higher being was using him as a pawn in a chess game. But why? What pleasure would this higher entity derive from toiling with someone as low as him? He suspected Ulf and couldn't help but quiver in fear. This eldritch being who he thought had been resolved was still bent on getting him."I need to escape outta here," Cassio said as he touched Traveller again, ready to activate it. He knew that no amount of explanation would stop the Arcane Guards from arrestin
There was no sun, no birds, no nothing. There was only fog which spread infinitely across the sea, tainting everything in a surreal haze. It was only by the magical spells on the ship that it could sail—the sailors wouldn't have been able to navigate the ship in such a hazy condition where nothing could penetrate.This was the month of September and the ship was still sailing. The sailors said it would three or four weeks before the ship would arrive at Knyghtdom, so everyone knew that the voyage through the Sea of Infinity was almost coming to an end. The ship didn't bump into pirates or other ships as the sea was infinitely vast without an end, being the point where infinite dimensions overlapped.Cassio sat crosslegged in his cabin, deep in meditation. He breathed in and out constantly, replenishing his Magical World. He was trying to rid it of any filth so that he could easily advance to the next Magic Array or Combat Tier since he was also a Knyght.It has been two months since h
On a ship which was also sailing on the sea stood a young man. He had brown curly hair and brown eyes, making his face very handsome. He was donned in a black leather trenchcoat, black leather trousers and black combat boots. A black hilted sword was strapped to his left side, giving him the air of a powerful swordsman.The man's face was expressionless, his brown eyes as cold as ice and unsmiling. He stared at the boundless sea for several moments, his hands behind him as he stood on the deck.Just then, a young lady walked up towards him. She had a purple hair, purple eyebrows and purple eyes. Her lips were full and had a faint touch of purple, making her look extremely charming. Dressed in a purple dress, she had an unnatural attractiveness. She exuded a powerful aura which didn't match her innocent and beautiful looks at all."You've been gazing at the sea for months, Walter," the lady said as she stopped to stand beside him, staring at him."The sea is boundless and Infinite, ove
Walter hesitated, staring at Cassio whose face carried no expression. If Cassio had not just accused him of killing his father and challenged him to a mortal combat, he would have thought Cassio wasn't angry. He didn't want to fight the kid.Cassio who saw Walter's hesitation decided to attack first. No matter what, he had to kill this so-called Destined One who caused the deaths of thousands of people, almost bringing the world to a surceasance. He would kill him once and for all!Frozen Sword of Karma!Cassio leaped towards Walter, illusory snow balls dancing around his sword. He soared through the air like a powerful eagle, his movement defying the laws of physics.At that moment, Walter felt his Magical World freeze instantly, affecting his Magical Body and Will Body. Even the spectators were not left out as they felt their souls and spirits shiver from the cold!Time slowed down as Cassio approached Walter, his right hand clasped around the hilt of his sword tightly. His long hai
7th Block, Way FallsCassio stood in his rented apartment, staring around his new home. He almost frowned, seeing that it could not compare with his former home.This apartment was a very small one with two sofas and a table standing in the center of the room. There was a fireplace in the wall which was already burning with the ember firewood, yellow flames crackling and dancing around the firewoods. At the far end of the apartment was a small sized bed, small enough for him to even stretch while sleeping."What's the point of sleeping if you can't stretch," Cassio scoffed, dissatisfied with the outlook of the apartment. He couldn't help but feel that he had been cheated over the 100$ he paid to the whimsical looking landlord who looked as if he could do virtually anything for money.The walls are even old and the paint faded, Cassio was almost fuming in anger. And to think he wasted 100$ for something as old and shabby looking like this made him to almost vomit blood!Actually, he ha
