On the third floor, Gaige remained in a state of amazement as he observed the new servants assigned to him. He couldn't help but wonder how Ellise had selected them and what criteria she had used to make her choices. His curiosity about these individuals, who were now tasked with attending to his needs, gnawed at him. Returning to the events of a week ago... A group of perspiring individuals in their training attire were chatting during their break. They discussed rumors about the renovation of the third floor and the anticipation of Gaige waking up. There is a lot of speculation on the circumstances surrounding his long slumber."It seems like the third floor is under renovation," one of them remarked. "I heard Madam is expecting her son to awaken," another chimed in. "Hasn't he been asleep for more than three years?" a third person asked. "Yes, but do you know what happened to him?" someone inquired. "I don't actually know, but the rumor says he was attacked by an enemy in Ieff
Lisa, who felt wronged about being assigned as a maid, spent the whole week in a constant state of complaint. The butler on the third floor had forced her to learn about caregiving, making it abundantly clear that she would eventually be tasked with personal care duties once the young master awoke from his coma. The week of maid training had taken a toll on Lisa, notably aging her appearance. She had always appeared fresh and healthy during her combat training sessions, specializing in techniques involving knives and blades. However, the duties of a maid seemed to have added ten years to her age. As a form of protest, Lisa dressed in old-fashioned maid attire. Over time, her appearance transformed into that of a disgruntled employee who openly displayed her disdain for her work, seemingly ready to erupt in anger at any moment. Yet Lisa's protest was rendered ineffective because the old-fashioned attire was considered modern for someone who had come from a medieval-themed novel. Gaig
Lisa and Patal received a summons to the training grounds, and each was handed a longsword and a dagger. As they couldn't understand the conversation between Ellise and Gaige, they were left in the dark about the purpose of this meeting. Furthermore, they knew better than to question their bosses and simply followed orders to the training grounds. Other members, whose training had been abruptly halted by the unexpected arrival of Gaige and Ellise, gathered around the elevated platform where duels typically took place. "Why are we here? Did we do something wrong?" Lisa whispered to Patal as she examined the longsword in her hand. She struggled to steady her trembling hands, and the blades of the longsword still vibrated. "Maybe," Patal replied bluntly, also inspecting the two daggers he held. They had grown accustomed to their boss, Ellise, who often issued commands without explanations. Even without being told, they understood the significance of being summoned to the dueling area
Is Earth truly a realm less savage than its cosmic counterparts? According to the laws that govern the planet, it is supposed to be, as Earth's unique regulations demand a certain level of restraint and civility among its inhabitants. These laws are bound to Earth's very fabric, woven into the planet's essence to uphold a semblance of order and morality. However, there are always those who seek to circumvent such restrictions, to find a loophole in the system that would allow them to indulge their darker desires without consequence. One such individual was Ellise Thom, a woman of unparalleled cunning and ambition. She had cracked the code, discovered the cheat that would enable her to remain unburdened by the rules that governed Earth, and thus, she managed to elude the ever-watchful enforcers of heaven's law. Ellise's newfound freedom allowed her to establish and lead criminal organizations that operated beneath the surface, hidden from the prying eyes of law enforcement and moralit
Patal lay on the stretcher, his legs numb from the stab wounds. As he was wheeled towards Gaige's room, his face was ashen with fear. He couldn't help but wonder if Gaige's thirst for bloodshed wasn't sated by the duel on the training ground and whether the torture would continue in his room. Similar thoughts filled the minds of almost every member who had witnessed the brutal duel. The member carrying the stretcher marched forward with a grave expression. Walking behind the stretcher, Lisa clutched her detached pinky finger, a painful reminder of the duel. She couldn't help but question her past actions, wondering if she had unknowingly offended Gaige, leading to such torment. In stark contrast, the man leading the way appeared refreshed. He even skipped along, his thoughts consumed by his impending purging mission the next day. He began to devise a plan that involved Lisa and Patal doing most of the work while he claimed the final blow for himself, seeking credit. "Is there anythi
"Hey! Why did you shoot him in the head?" Gun asked. He is jumping up and down on Gaige’s lap.Gaige let him be noisy as usual. He doesn’t have to hide Gun from Patal and Lisa anymore because he already revealed that he has a lot of supernatural power. Luckily, Patal and Lisa are not overly curious. They wouldn’t question him and would just do whatever he ordered. They might get surprised by whatever peculiar thing Gaige does, but they still come to assist him. Just like now, Patal was shocked to see Gaige randomly kill an elementary student. He was told to drive the car after committing the crime and to believe that someone is following them even if he can't see anyone. "Hey! Driver! Drive faster; it will catch us real soon!" Gun shouted at Patal. He even jumped onto Patal’s shoulder, which made the car go off the road. "What are you doing!" Gaige sighed and holstered Gun, then turned his attention to the enormous spider-like monster chasing them. The shapeshifter, which he had sh
In a chaotic room, with Patal and Lisa engaged in a fierce battle against Gaige's target, Gaige and Gun sat comfortably in a corner, observing the skirmish with keen interest. "It's indeed quite rare to find humans who don't cower in fear when faced with supernatural beings," Gun commented, his voice filled with admiration as he watched Patal and Lisa display their remarkable combat skills and experience in the heat of the fight. Gaige had once again assigned Patal and Lisa the task of capturing his target for him. Gun rested contentedly on Gaige's lap, basking in the gentle caress of Gaige's hand, which pulsed with divine power. The unlikely pair had been at this task tirelessly, in a harmonious dance of guidance and execution. Gun, though restricted from uttering certain truths, found solace in the fact that Patal and Lisa, his faithful allies, comprehended their roles well. Their day had been consumed by this mission, unrelenting in its demands. Now, as Gaige tenderly pet Gun's
Unaware of what was truly transpiring within Gaige's heart, mind, and body, Lisa and Patal immediately called for the help that their master ultimately needed—a team of paramedics and doctors. They couldn't comprehend the depth of his turmoil, but they knew he required immediate medical attention. Gaige observed the group of people in white robes suddenly filling the first floor of the house. He couldn't help but blurt out, "What the heck?" In an instant, the previously serene atmosphere was replaced by bustling activity, all focused on him. Patal and Lisa, trusting in the doctor they had called for, refrained from approaching Gaige. Instead, they watched as a nerdy-looking lady efficiently cleaned Gaige's blood-stained hand. He was then gently carried to the living room's couch, where his body was meticulously examined. Gaige, unperturbed by the commotion, allowed the medical professionals to do their work, knowing they wouldn't find any issues. He was the epitome of health, albeit
