Yesterday's twenty-first birthday party he could say was the best birthday party ever. First, because legally, he can legally drink alcoholic beverages without worrying about being reprimanded by others. Second, for the reason that her older sister threw an unexpected surprise birthday party for her at the new apartment.An apartment that she was not even sure her older sister could afford to buy it in a cheap price. Her older sister said little about Gavin helping her older sister get her to buy a high-security apartment.It was from Stephen that she finally found out that the new apartment that his older sister had bought was apparently still within the scope of the Laurent clan. That meant, as long as no one attacked the Laurent clan, no one would dare harm anyone who was considered part of the Laurent clan.For now, at least it's safe. He didn't know how much longer this disturbed calm would last. From Karl, to Stephen, as well as the other clans of supernatural beings, all of the
Stephen knew something was wrong.He just knew it. That was all the evidence he had. When Gavin and Petra provided their latest report on the situation to him, he noticed something is missing from the report.But what?He stirred the butter, which finally melted thanks to the constant temperature and speed of stirring, blending together with the other ingredients he put into the mixture to form the garlic bread with the extra chilli sauce he needed.As soon as Nora left him to talk to Arabelle, he immediately took the opportunity to go back to cooking. He made it not for everyone who attended his girlfriend Veronica's party. Not even for him to eat alone.He cooked it for the diversion of his mind, which was still trying to find answers from the oddities that approached his mind. Apart from smoking, cooking has always been one of the things he has done to divert his mind or fill his free time. If it were not for the fact that he had run out of cigarettes because he forgot to buy them
Veronica couldn't believe what she had just seen before her. In the hall of Nora's residence, he saw the existence of an ancient car appearing in the middle of the hall. His eyes looked confused at the car that, according to his guess, was issued sometime in the 1920's.Or the age of the car is longer than that? He didn't know.What confused him even more was, why was that car in Nora's mansion?Slowly, he walked down the stairs with his eyes fixed on the car. He saw no one there besides himself, so he didn't know who to ask."Nora?"“Oh, you've come? Good!"“Huwaa!!”Veronica screamed hysterically from the shock, so much so that she almost fell over if she didn't immediately use the banister to help her stay up. Nora chuckled with a strange laugh (and to be honest it sounded creepy to her) when she saw him startled, walking with half-jumping steps towards her.Compared to this morning, he no longer saw Nora in her pajamas filled with bear motifs. Now, he found the woman wearing a kne
Hearing Nora's words created guilt inside Veronica. She did not have the courage to respond to Nora's words with any answer, letting Nora continue her words."Nora did not know that there were people at that time who had good hearts," Nora continued. The woman's eyes were filled with tears, but she smiled gently at him. "Meeting a human like you changed the way Nora views humans. To be honest, Nora was sceptical when Karl asked Nora to help you while you were being held by Schneider.""I'm not surprised by that," Veronica was not offended by Nora's honesty in the least. "That's a natural thing for you. Especially if you look at it from a historical point of view when humans hunted people who were considered witches.""You really are a different kind of human compared to all the others I've ever met.""I'll take that as a compliment," Veronica smiled a little at that. "Humans in general tend to think that something different from their point of view is a mistake, especially in the past
Veronica was too afraid of the worst that could happen, so when Stephen drove his car towards the dimensional portal, he quickly closed his eyes while holding his hands tightly, not daring to look into the windshield.All he could feel was that the car the three of them were in was moving very fast.“Karen? We have arrived."A bit timid, Veronica opened her eyes when she heard a knock on the door coming from outside the window and was stunned to the point where she couldn't speak anymore. His eyes blinked in amazement, finding that they were no longer at Nora's house, but in a small and modest mansion, with beautiful views thanks to the gardens surrounding the mansion. He found Karl and Stephen already at the outside door, waiting anxiously for him.He unbuckled his seat belt, then stepped his prosthetic leg out of the car as soon as Stephen took the initiative to open the door for him."This…," Veronica looked around where she was at this time still with a feeling of amazement mixed
Erna frowned in confusion when she found that one of the children, who was taking care of Nora's residence, suddenly came up to her, asking her to follow them. She could not say no; solely out of decency and also out of fear of the figure.Since childhood, just like any other Asian parent who follows Confucius's teachings in general, she has been taught to respect people older than her. So clearly, she could not possibly say no.If it was about ghosts or other spirits, she would not make a big deal out of it. Since she was little, she had often encountered such things, so she was not afraid at all. But supernatural beings, let alone immortals? That was clearly another matter.Luckily, Bianca volunteered to come with her, and the kid allowed Bianca to accompany her. Even her girlfriend tightly gripped her hand, as if understanding her fear. Although she had little doubt that Bianca was the overly sensitive type, considering how reckless and careless she was in everything she did.What
Erna's eyes blinked in surprise, turning towards the source of the sound that sounded foreign to her ears when the person called her great-grandmother's name. He found the figure of a pale-faced man with a glazed and thin-looking gaze, looking at him with half disbelief and shock.“Felicia?”“Felicia? Sorry, but you have the wrong person. I'm not Felicia Chen. She's my great-grandmother," Erna answered loudly.The stranger's face suddenly darkened when he heard Erna's answer. “Oh, pardon my impudence. I thought you were Felicia, my late wife…”"Wife?" Erna's forehead wrinkled in surprise at the man's answer, walking quickly over to the foreign man. "I didn't know my great-grandmother was married.""It's normal if you don't know. We married secretly because we couldn't get the blessing from our big family," the foreign man smiled bitterly at her, holding out his hand towards Erna. "Montessa. Warlocks.""Erna Chen. Guess I will introduce myself as a human," Erna replied to Montessa's fr
Go back in time without changing the timeline?Is that even possible?Erna's brain was filled with the same questions over and over again.Of all the theories about going back to the past or coming to the future…From Albert Einstein's theory to the fictional film Back to the Future, or the like, everyone always says that traveling back to the past or to the future will destroy the timeline. Nothing can be changed or controlled.But why could the warlock in front of him be so confident in saying that he could control time without destroying the timeline?“This may sound complicated, but the way magic works is beyond the bounds of human logic. Even with science," Montessa laughed at Erna's confusion in digesting this strange information. "Hard to explain. Hasn't Nora told you that I'm a time traveler warlock?”"He didn't say anything at all," Erna formed an 'X' with both hands in front of her face as her answer. “I don't even know… eh? Time traveler warlock?”“Exactly,” Montessa snappe
“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? Even though he had gone to great lengths to infiltrate the university as a lecturer so he could approach Veronica.Now, he felt like an
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
