The afternoon sun in Waterford city was not as hot as usual since it was already entered early winter but the temperature that started to change drastically made Karl close the coat he was wearing before he got out of Stephen's car, closing the car door followed by Stephen who was now standing beside Karl after turning off the car engine.
"See? I could not believe that it is even more horrible than I thought," Stephen motioned for him to follow the man into the ruined theatre. It was razed to the ground so that he could no longer see the splendour that he always saw whenever he took the time to visit this theatre in his spare time.
Whereas in the past, this theatre building was one of the buildings passed down from generation to generation by the Laurent f

Apparently, his arrival with Stephen had been predicted by the woman with the body of an elementary school child, who seemingly had a strange obsession with the purple as he found Nora was already waiting in the lobby of the apartment where the warlock woman lived. At first, he was annoyed when she saw his presence. She jumped up from the chair the petite woman was sitting on just now and ran towards him. The petite woman's frowning face immediately brightened as soon as she showed a bit of the stored sword using his dragon magic. Much more practical than carrying a sword anywhere in the 21st century. The idea was sure to quickly do nothing but create suspicion from modern humans, who no longer need to carry swords as their weapons of self-defence. "You really fulfilled your promise," the petite woman asked him to keep the sword
"No special reason, if I have to tell you the truth," he cast a spell to take out the sword inherited from his late grandfather he had stored into the dimension of the item he made. Giving it to Nora, who enthusiastically welcomed the sword, as if it were the petite woman's just got her favourite snack. "Really?" "Yeah," he raised an eyebrow in surprise when he saw the look of surprise on the little woman's face. Questioning the woman's reaction, which he thought was a little odd. As he motioned for himself to sit down–– followed by Stephen, who was now yawning widely–– he cradled his pyramid-shaped hands above his knees, leaning his body towards Nora. “That was my intention at first. But I do not deny that I have other business with you. "Shoot," Nora folded her arms across her chest, a serious expression on her face. A sign that the woman put an ear to listen to his words. "My intuition is always right." "It is about Schneider," he straightened his
Erick pushed two large suitcases –– one belonging to him and the other belonging to Theo, following his enthusiastic boyfriend looking around Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas International Airport (or better known as Madrid-Barajaz Airport), which was famous as one of the most popular airports in the busiest international airport in the world with the occasional step hopping. Given that this man had never set foot outside the Waterford city area, he could understand the enthusiasm of the man, who did not have good memories of the airport building other than always accompanying Indri Pedrosa when she was still alive if his boyfriend's stepmother wanted to travel abroad. Coupled with the horrific incident that claimed the life of the soft-hearted but stubborn woman because of the Schneider attack a few months ago when the woman had just arrived at the airport on her return from Italy. Yes. There
Bianca groaned in pain, stroking her wrist, which was now reddened by her older brother's firm grip when he was dragged her and Erna out towards the north exit as soon as her older brother released his grip, telling her to get into the only black shiny limousine that was parked neatly near the north exit of the airport Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas international airport. Allowing the car driver hired by the Zhang family to carry all their belongings into the trunk of the car, leaving her with Erna, who was still angry with her for the reason she did not understand. What was wrong with what she did earlier? She had obviously only greeted the group of flight attendants in Italian (and she was quite surprised to find that they could still understand what she was saying despite of the fact that she was talking to them in Italian), asking them for recommendations of places she could visit with Er
It had been several hours since they left the airport and arrived at the hotel which was full of medieval Spanish interiors heavily influenced by Arab culture. A maid had just entered their room, giving them a light snack as it was already lunchtime. "Thank you," he said to the maid. An old woman making a sad look on her face for reasons he did not understand. The sad face was clearly still new, but it managed to make her look much older than she should be, who he felt was only in her mid-fifties. The fact that vampires were immortals was indeed just a myth created by humans, but the belief that vampires were difficult to age since their body cells move slower than humans were clearly, an undeniable fact. There have been several researchers—both humans who were interested in the study of vampires and among vampires themselves—who have succeeded in proving the theory of their body's ce
Veronica looked out of her bedroom window (well, technically, it was an empty room in Stephen's mansion that Stephen had prepared for her as a temporary stay) while she was enjoying the sound of the raindrops soaking Waterford city. The sound of the rain that fell at the beginning of winter this time somehow managed to calm her frantic mind as she was thinking about the many things that had happened recently, so she now understood the reason behind startup companies engaged in self-development such as Forest––her favourite time management application with using Pomodoro technique––willing to invest their time in creating the sound of raindrops as part of a special feature for their premium subscribers. One of the first apps she downloaded as soon as she got her smartphone as her high school graduation gift from her older sister two years ago. Speaking of that, since her arrival at Stephen's
"A gift? For me?" "Yes. Just say it." “No need, I do not want to bother—” "You do not bother me, Vero. You are my dearest little sister. The only family I have. So, you do not need to feel hesitant. Coincidentally, next week I will get my salary. Just name of it." “Th—then, I will think about it later. I still do not know for now." "Okay. Remember to not thinking about it too long," her older sister replied casually. "Oh, I almost forgot. Have you been watching the news lately?” "News? What kind of news do you mean?” "Ah!" sh
Febrina ended the call with her younger sister, stuffed her smartphone into the pocket of her straight jeans she wore today, again focusing her attention on Gavin, who had been patiently waiting for her all this time. "Are you done? How is your younger sister doing?" "At least she is fine. She still did not know the news until I mentioned it, though," she chuckled in response to Gavin's question with a shrug. "I sometimes doubt if my younger sister really wants to be a lawyer in a social organization or not. She does not even know big news like this. She keeps watching Netflix. She is really worrying me so much." "That is natural. People around Vero's age is often like that. Leave her alone." "Yes. I do. It
“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
