Veronica immediately woke up from her nightmare, while she was gasping for breath and cold sweat covering almost her entire body. Her eyes flashed the same fear that she had felt twelve years ago, with her whole body shivering from the lingering fear of her past memories coming back to haunt her.

"Nikki? Are you all right?"

A voice that was soft but still sounded full of worry, slowly brought her out of her past, traumatising memories. She looked at Stephen, who was clutching her shoulders, forcing her to meet eyes with a werewolf named Stephen Laurent, who was still calling her name in a worried tone.

"Nikki? Are you having a nightmare?"

It took Stephen's repeated efforts to bring her fully awake from the nightmare that still trapped her in the memories that she did not want to remember at all. The nightmare she thought would no longer haunt her like when she first experienced it. Or if she did, the dream would no longer frighten her. Moreover, she had undergone counselling therap

    Veronica immediately woke up from her nightmare with gasping for breath and cold sweat covering almost her entire body. His eyes flashed the same fear that he had felt twelve years ago, with his whole body shivering from the lingering fear of his past memories coming back to haunt him."Nikki? Are you okay?"A voice that was soft but still sounded full of worry slowly brought her out of her past, traumatizing memories. She looked at Stephen who was clutching her shoulders, forcing her to meet eyes with a werewolf named Stephen Laurent who was still calling her name in a worried tone."Nikki?"It took Stephen's repeated efforts to bring him fully awake from the nightmare that still locked him there. The nightmare she thought would no longer haunt her like when she first experienced it. Or if he did, the dream would no longer frighten her. Moreover, he had undergone counselling therapy to reduce her PTSD symptoms.Well, even though the coun

    Bianca was laying down on the grass behind the Zhang family's garden, looking up at the night sky covered in mist. The same problem as in Waterford city where the fog due to pollution was thick enough to obscure the stars that should be visible from where they have clearly become only small specks of light that were difficult to enjoy. ['Everything that was done by your mother was nothing but for the sake of the safety of both of you. Especially for your older brother, Theo. She did all of these, sacrificing everything she had, so your father, who has always disliked Theo's existence from the start, would not lay a finger to kill Theo if he found out about Theo's true talent as one of the future leaders in the Pedrosa clan."] Erick's words when he told her the harsh reality hit her as if the rubble when Pedrosa's largest prison in Waterford city collapsed due to William Schneider's attack, leaving her unable to move her body even just to avoid the rubble of the building. Her right h

    Theo took a sip of the blood in the mug that Erick had given him slowly. His appetite had almost disappeared due to the tiredness that had come to him since yesterday after he learned the truth about what his late stepmother had been hiding from him all the time. His eyes looked at the thick red liquid with a sad look, as he did not know whether he should be happy knowing that his late stepmother loved him all this time or not. Or knowing that his memories had been changed by his late stepmother all this time for the sake of his own safety. The memory that it was actually his late biological mother who had been doing violence along with his father, while his late stepmother had always been the first person to desperately protect him at any cost as if his existence was very important in his late stepmother’s eyes. If he thought carefully about it, everything that happened to him all started to make sense to him. His stepmother, in her lifetime, never physically harmed him. All his ste

    It might be for Erick, their first meeting was meaningless. It might be that for Erick after he knew everything that was hidden from his boyfriend for more than ten years, their first meeting was nothing more than a mission that had to be carried out by Erick at the behest of his late stepmother. But for him, the meeting felt so magical. It was like entering a magical world that introduced him to a new hope in his gloomy life. His magical meeting gave him a rainbow that coloured his life. And for him, Erick's presence in his life is like the main character in the Being Henry David novel, Daniel Henderson, when he first met Hailey as soon as he arrived in the city where Henry David had set foot there. A popular female student who had diabetes but was still cheerful, and slowly the popular female student began to introduce the main character to things he never knew or dare to do before. "I have never met–" “Enough is enough!” he shouted in a booming voice, interrupting Erick before h

    Her holiday break was now over. Veronica took a deep breath as she read the email containing the notification from the campus that the winter break was shortened. That means, this week would be her last week to enjoy her freedom from lecture material or the piled up of the assignments that she would receive from her lecturers, most of whom always use their busy lives as their excuses for not fulfilling their obligations to teach their students.. Just the thought of that possibility made her mood even worse. She turned off the notification screen of her smartphone, put her smartphone on the table in the family library belonging to the Stephen family (which she only found out today after Stephen took her around the mansion), then laid her head on the table with a listless face. "What is it? Why are you making such a long face, hm?" Stephen's voice did a little bit of work to take her mind off the general disillusionment of students being stripped of their day off by the university.

    Veronica could not stop herself from being amazed by the interior of the scene in front of her as soon as her prosthetic legs, wearing the high heels that Karl had given them the first time they met, stepped out of Stephen's car after Stephen opened the car door for her. The man himself nonchalantly threw his car keys at a valet parking attendant who grabbed the keys in a hurry and entered the driver's seat, while Stephen immediately put his hand on her waist, offering to hook his arm around the man's arm.She gladly accepted Stephen's invitation, who led him carefully into the theatre. The man's eyes were alternately looking at him and his prosthetic leg, looking anxious, making his mouth itch to comment. She wanted to tell the man that she was fine. She wanted to tell the man that her prosthetic leg had no problem wearing those high heels.But, be that as it may, she did not deny the fact that she was secretly enjoying all the attention Stephen was giving her at the moment. So she ju

    When she entered the room at first, she thought that the room she was about to enter would be filled with a mystical aura just like the time she met Karl–her future boyfriend. Or it would be like supernatural fiction stories that she often read in Young Adult genre novels which she often reads in her spare time after doing school assignments when she was still in high school and college assignments (on the grounds that she was already in her second year at school lectures). With full of a mysterious, mystical aura, with a magical sensation that could make the hairs on her neck shudder as he entered. In fact, the room where the werewolf man--who had now become a human due to the incident that Stephen vaguely told her earlier just before entering this room--worked in much the same way as a normal human's office room. A white themed decorated room with red-carpeted floors (she take a guess that this carpet was very expensive on the grounds that the material itself looked luxurious and ne

    Petra was away from her for a moment when he heard Stephen's question just now. For a moment, the man's brows furrowed, as if he doubted whether he should answer Stephen's question just now with an honest answer or not. There was a hint of doubt on the cute-looking man's face before he looked back at Stephen."There is, but not so much. Given my current state, it's hard for me to infiltrate or get information like I used to often do."She glanced at Stephen who was gulping, with a face filled with guilt. Most likely due to the reason Stephen had told him before entering Petra's study a few minutes ago."I'm sorry. If only I...""Boss. You don't have to keep apologizing to me. I never blamed you for that incident at all," Petra gave Stephen a small smile as he patted Stephen on the shoulder casually, making anyone who saw it would not think that these two people are related. are superiors and subordinates, not friends. "I'm actually grateful. Becau

    “Montessa! Is the time spell ready?”Bianca called out to Montessa as she ran up to Montessa. He played with the glocks still in his hand, then returned them to Montessa. “Thank you for wanting to lend me your weapon.”"Yes. Already!" On Montessa's right, a dimensional portal appears that is the same as Nora's, but has a lighter colour. Montessa's eyes turned to the soldiers who were now running like crazy after stuffing the glocks into their pockets. "What's wrong with them? What did you do to them?”"It's not the important thing you should be thinking about," Bianca patted Montessa on the shoulder. "Can we go in now? I hope your spell won't throw us into the wrong timeline.”“Hey, what you said hurts you know!” Montessa defended herself. “I always succeed in casting my spells when it comes to time magic. “And yes, it is safe. We're going back to the 21st century.”"Good," he turned his head back, looking at Erna's figure standing behind him.Erna's hand gripped his hand tightly, vis

    Can they say that the mission was a success or not? That question kept popping up in Bianca's mind again and again as they ran to avoid the pursuit of the royal guards. In front of her, Montessa ran along with Felicia Chen, whom they managed to release from prison. All she knew, for now, was that she couldn't let go of Erna's wrist, which was running behind her. “How much longer we should wait!?” she shouted at Montessa, who was in front of her. "What?! I didn't hear your question, Pedrosa!” Montessa called back to Bianca, then turned his gaze back to the front as he saw more and more royal troops chasing the two of them. “I'm trying to recover my magic energy! Buy some more time!” “Easy for you to say, old man!” Bianca pulled Erna into her arms when she saw one of the royal troops trying to cut Erna with his sword. She parried the sword using his leg kick and threw the sword so that it stuck into one of the trees around the forest path. “Montessa! Lend me some weapons! There are

    Karl hummed happily and fell in love with the new magic sword Alec had created for him. The sword that belonged to his grandfather, which he gave to Nora in exchange for Veronica's safety (he did not regret his decision at the time), he could indeed use without the slightest problem. But in all aspects, the sword was out of character for him.First, in terms of design. He was actually not a fan of swords that had lots of carvings on them. His taste was very different from his grandfather's sword, which has that element. In terms of the magical energy that can be absorbed by the magic sword inherited from his grandfather, there was not much the sword could absorb from his energy, because the sword inherited from his grandfather tended to use the emotions of its user.When his grandfather was still alive, his grandfather was the type of person who was easily provoked by anger. That disposition of his was also justified by his life principle of glorifying the dragon race. From the pas

    Until an hour ago, they were still at Alec's house, trying out the new magic weapon Alec created.But right now, he and Karl and Stephen are busy helping Alex and Nicholas to kill the monsters that come to Alec's house.The monster was like Alec's description a while ago while visiting Pedrosa's residence. He had never come face to face with a monster created by William Schneider, so he was very surprised to see the real shape of the monster.He slashed one of the heads of the monsters that were about to attack him with their canine teeth. Their blood spurted out, hitting his body, emitting a strange hiss.There was a feeling of pity in him as he looked at the corpse of the monster in front of him. Recalling what Karl had said about the origins of the monsters, he felt some sympathy. In the past, these monsters had a quiet life.If it weren't for William Schneider, they might still be enjoying their quiet lives right now...A feeling of hatred for William Schneider welled up inside Ve

    William tapped his fingers nervously on his desk. Currently he was in his office at the university where Veronica Darren studied, with an irritated and bored expression.He didn't care about the rows of work piled up on his desk. Or the list of files in his email when he turns on his computer as soon as he enters his study.Or the attention of the students who tried to approach him. Or also the fact that at work, there are so many bouquets of flowers, snacks, or gift boxes of various sizes filling the room.He didn't care about that.All he cared about was Veronica Darren's presence. But since two weeks ago, that woman has not been on campus at all, nor has she attended any of her classes. Even though the woman submitted her course work via e-mail about three days ago.Where has Veronica gone? What happened to Veronica not to show her nose on campus?

    Don't do anything flashy, huh?Both Erna and Bianca looked at Montessa with deep eyes. Because of Montessa's stupidity that didn't estimate the risks that would occur if she went straight to the prison, the royal guards immediately arrested the three of them and took them to a room in the prison building.There were no windows around where they were, so all they could do was guess how long they had been there. There were only flaming torches hanging on the walls to illuminate the place.Even more annoying, the room was so damp and smelly, that it was difficult for him to feel comfortable staying in this place for a long time. He even admired the fighting spirit of the people who used to languish in this prison.Across the prison they were in, there was an old woman with a shabby appearance who kept cursing in a language she didn't understand towards the prison guards who were passing through the corridors of the prison."I didn't expect that the plan I made would end like this," Monte

    Erna's eyes narrowed, looking intently at Bianca who was running excitedly along the path in the forest. Montessa suggested that they change into what people of the time they are currently in, so the man cast a spell to change their clothes.She was dressed in a duchess outfit that was so sparkling, dark blue in color and looked so beautiful that she couldn't take her eyes off of the dress she was wearing.But that wasn't what made it hard to focus on the mission this time. But because of Bianca. His girlfriend was wearing a 15th century gentleman's suit. Clothes that seemed to be created just for Bianca to wear, even though she knew that Montessa changed Bianca's clothes into men's clothes because she always forgot the fact that Bianca was a woman.Bianca didn't protest at all, of course. He knew that Bianca liked the androgynous appearance despite her always claiming to be a fully woman, so he shouldn't be surprised to see Bianca's current appearance.Yet, she found herself falling

    She regretted her decision.She meant, she really regretted it.Erna looked at the environment around her with uncertain feelings. She was no longer in the 21st century with the technology and practicality offered by that century. But they were now around five centuries ago when technology and the internet were not yet available and witch hunts were still a common practice."It looks like we've come to the right time."Right now, Montessa was proudly standing to her right, using his magic to brush away the dirt and grime from his clothes. The man did not even pay attention to the fact that thanks to his goddamn time dimension magic, she and Bianca fell flat on the ground until their clothes were all dirty.Montessa did not even tell them or give any signal that they were going to land in the middle of the forest. Montessa only asked them to jump into the time dimension magic as soon as the man finished casting the spell.Yesterday he decided to agree to Montessa's offer by becoming th

    Karl responded to Stephen's words with a low laugh. "Actually, there's something I don't understand." "Yes?" “Why did you make me a magic weapon? Moreover, from my knowledge, ordering magic weapons from the Berthold family is very expensive…” “In my opinion, the lives of living things are more expensive and valuable than the Berthold family's magic weapons,” Karl shoved his hands into his trouser pockets. “For me, you and Karen are the most important people in my life. I already consider you like my own family, and I know you love Karen too.” "I …" "Don't deny it, Steve. How long do you think I know you?" Karl looked up at the ceiling of the room. “Our current situation is so chaotic. War. The problem of racism in the Dragon clan. A showdown between vampire families. Somehow it feels like there are so many problems coming our way that I can't spare my spare time to go on a date with Karen. It sucks…” "I feel guilty too," Stephen said. “Last time I asked Nikki out, my brother cam
