Dillon's POVWe were all busy preparing sheets that Ari would use to write the translated version of the Ancient Stones' encrypted phrases. Meanwhile, I suddenly felt an intense sensation of fear and anxiety. However, the emotion I felt was not my own. I was taken aback by the overwhelming perturbation, and Lowell suddenly fell on his knees while sweating profusely for some reason.Tora arrived in the area with the stupid Horse Beastman, so Lowell suddenly snapped and furiously approached the two.I felt anxious and worried as I held on to the table, trying not to drop to my knees like Lowell did. I tried to calm down so as not to cause further commotion."Where is Ari? Why did you leave her alone?" Lowell growled at Tora in disappointment while gripping her arms tightly, causing a commotion around her.Macan suddenly transformed into his aggressive form, tackling Lowell while roaring furiously.Lowell dodged and transformed as well to fight with the mute Tiger youngling.Centaurus tri
Dillon's POV I asked her what was wrong, but she begged me to stay because she didn't want to be alone. My tail is quite sensitive to her touch. I sometimes wanted to cross the line and devour her alive, keeping her for myself only. However, she will absolutely hate me if I do so. I have to snap out of it in an instant. I took a deep breath while trying to calm myself before trying to transform into my aggressive form. I turned around while gently pulling my tail away, then rubbed my face on her cheeks to cheer her up. She hugged me with her trembling body while sobbing quietly. We stayed still for quite some time. I dared not move because her every breath and movement was triggering my urges. I tried to release as much scent as I could by controlling the energy within my body, hoping someone would notice our location. Luckily, Lowell sensed my unanimated presence, so he knew that I had already found Ari and called the others. I was hoping that everything would be alright once sh
Dillon's POV Ari fainted once again due to her unstable emotions. Even though the healer arrived immediately after Lowell ran to seek help, she couldn't do much for Ari's condition. She said that Ari was just emotionally unstable due to fear and stress. She needs some time to recover, and we need to prevent anything that will trigger her condition. We let her rest and waited for her to wake up. Orson didn't want to stay away from his sister's side, so he asked me to check Ari's writings and report the progress to Jael on his behalf while Lowell was making the tonic for Ari. I had no choice but to give way to him since he is in charge of the group and he is Ari's older brother. I gritted my teeth in frustration while I was walking towards the storage room. "It's so frustrating! I want to be with Ari too!" I complained, mumbling to myself in disappointment. A gust of wind suddenly blew into my ears, causing my whole body to shiver in the coldness. It might have been just the cold w
"Oh! What do we have here? I missed you, my dear niece! I felt a fluctuation of both the power of the sun and the moon, so I figured out that it was you. Haha! You are sending yourself to me of your own volition. Do you think you are still a goddess to do such a fooling thing? Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!" A menacing voice sneered in the distance. A man with long jet-black hair and gray eyes was sitting on a throne made from skulls and bones in front of me. He sneered like a satisfied predator playing with his prey. "W-what do you want from me, and what did you do to Ayla?" I trembled despite trying to keep myself calm amidst the fear, confusion, and worry I felt. I tried to struggle, but the more I did, the more intensely the grip of the ghostly shadows gripped my body. It wriggled all over my body, and I felt extremely terrified and disgusted. The edge of his lips curled up into a smirk as his eyes lit with amusement. "What do I want from you?" he asked as he chuckled while locking his eyes wi
I regained consciousness and felt like I was floating underwater, suspended, and not breathing. Wait... I'm not breathing! I tried to scream, but not a single sound came out. It was as if I were surrounded by a cold liquid, making me panic while thinking I might drown. A few moments later, I suddenly realized that I didn't need to breathe at all. I was baffled and couldn't fathom what was happening. I don't need to breathe, but where am I exactly? I couldn't see anything. It's too dark. What exactly is this place? It felt like I was in a lake of darkness and nothingness. Did I really die again? I feel like I am in a deep lake. It was the same feeling before I was reborn into the beastman world. It felt the same as when I was in the Abyssal Lake. It was so frighteningly dark and lonely. I still have so many questions in my mind. Was that really all it was? However, I think this is better than how I died when I was still Kim Arhi Gaumond. I find it funny to say my complete name. I
"No. Your memories will be wiped out, and you will be born again to a different family. I will make sure to let you be born in a safe environment far from what you have suffered in all these three lives of yours," he answered in a reassuring yet hurt tone. "Is there a way for me to know how my mother on earth is fairing all these years?" I asked, hoping for a positive answer. "You're too caring for your own good," He sighed. "Like father, like daughter. Look ahead of you," he said before pointing to a crystal ball that emerged from the water. Images started to form inside the crystal, showing sets of inaudible footage of what happened after my death on Earth. Everyone was baffled as to why my body was the only one that was not burned from the crash. Everyone who knew me grieved in silence. Even my good-for-nothing boss cried her heart out, like she lost a precious sister she never had. My tears streamed down upon seeing them looking distraught and horrified. I may not have heard wh
I tried to run, but it felt like the faster I ran, the slower I moved forward. I was shocked upon realizing that it wouldn't be easy to pass through the bridge. I was so stupid to not remember that the Bridge of Trial He was talking about was the same Bridge of Trial that a god or goddess goes through before their awakening. Was this a scam? Was I tricked by the Supreme Being? I panicked, so I tried to run in irritation. However, the more irritated I was, the more the invincible force tried to stop me from moving further. I suddenly felt like there were ghostly shadows grabbing my feet, restraining my movement even more. I was panicking. My instinct was telling me to move forward, but how can I even move forward? I cried and trembled in fear as my anxiety took its toll on me. I suddenly heard the hallucinatory voices of Sephtis. I knew it wasn't real because he wouldn't be able to enter this place without the permission of the Supreme Being. "Arie, what were you trying so hard fo
Lowell's POV I woke up because someone was pulling my foot to move me somewhere. I even hit my head on a small bump on the ground. "Ouch!" I complained as I jolted due to pain. I saw Dillon pulling me away with a devastated look on his face. He didn't even see me awaken, so I struggled to escape from his grasp. Then, I turned around to face the ground while pulling my foot forcefully. I was suddenly stunned upon seeing Ari inside a transparent shell. I was terrified upon remembering what had happened last night. I trembled and tried to run towards Ari, but Dillon pulled my foot forcefully. He looked exasperated and distressed. "Dillon! Let go!" I growled at him furiously. He suddenly let go of me upon seeing Orson's terrified face. "ARI!!!" Orson roared in devastation. His roar echoed around the village, waking up all the fainting villagers. Dillon ran towards him, so I followed. He was about to lose control. Orson cried and tried to struggle while we were restraining him. Eve
