Malikul opened the book that was still in the process of writing. His eyes focused on Shadow’s name and also her interaction with all the novel characters.
“Does everyone know that they are just in a novel?”
“They are, indeed.”
“You’re telling me that they are voluntarily entering this novel for the sake of Shadow?”
“You wish,” Wan scowled, adjusting his butt on the chair. “I have paid them a big sum on top of years of benefits.”
“And some of them are coming from The Unknown?” He asked, eyeing Wan meaningfully.
Malikul clenched his chest, the heart was beating loudly with the speed of a marathon runner. His sweat trickled down his forehead and cheeks while he bent forward. He opened his mouth before gasping loudly.“Malikul?” Wan’s face fell into panic.Malikul just raised his unoccupied hand, while wheezing in and out. “I… will be okay.” He squeezed his eyelids tight.He would become weak like this whenever he recalled that memory. The anguish, the anger, the betrayal, the sadness, the shock, and the guilt were mixing together. He was close to her. He had been warned.Yet, he ignored it. He thought she was playing.But, she wasn’t.
“Huwaaaa~” Samuel’s lips cracked open with the admiral's eyes, putting down his camera lens in awe.Slowly, he looked at her up and down, taking in the beautiful sight that was in front of him. He clutched the camera in his hands and clicked it mindlessly. Shadow’s attire was so mindblowing that he had forgotten about the existence of the camera.Shadow, who was wearing the midnight blue-ish dress sewn with stars and moon on the dress, shone her beauty at once.Shadow normally had two charms. Masculine and cute. However, the dress captured the yet exact entirely different charm. A dangerous charm. With bareback, the fabric at the back was turning grim and menacing.She was like a coin. Each side revealed her different charm. The front was cute and
Shadow entered the ballroom with a grumpy expression written all over her face. The cute smile planted beautifully on her face paired with a menacing aura surrounded her. With fairy-like hair, she strode confidently while being escorted by both Sabrina and Samuel.Due to her striking face and also her reputation - well, mostly it was about the reputation - she drew in unwanted pry eyes. On her right was the archangel and on her left was the fire user. It was enough to put all of them in their own lane.The ballroom that was already filled with soft music hastily halted the moment she stepped inside it with eyes latched on them like a bunch of leeches.“Announcement!” One of the guards took up his courage and gathered everyone’s attention. “Greeting, the arrival of Overlord Shadow, the Dark Ki
In her third song, her entire body screamed in anticipation as soon as she felt the stink gaze of the other person on the highest platform. Her back was burned with a fit of strong jealousy.Her scars reacted sensitively, and the skin and the muscle twitched. Her partner was still oblivious to the sudden cold atmosphere emitted by Amino who was already descending from the second level.A small pleasure resided inside her. She was only dancing with others just to spite him. Her jealousy was the living proof that she was successful. Then, she deliberately made eye contact with him briefly and smirked, playfully so. Yet again, she looked back again to her dance partner and leaned closer.The dance partner, who coincidentally was a foreign minister that she didn’t care for, huffed excitedly.
“Huh~ huh~” Elijah stepped into the silence, escaping from the suffocating room.Tap! Tap! Tap!Yet, another set of clicking shoes echoed right behind her, leisurely so.She felt goosebumps all over her body almost immediately. The leisure steps, the humming song right behind was a red flag for she knew. She didn’t have to turn around to know who was behind her.She started to panic.“Elijah dear…” The calm voice called her name, full of affection and sarcasm.Elijah hastened her walk, refusing to react.“Dear… my love…”S
“This is getting annoying.”“I know right.”“Should I kill them all?”“You should if that is what your heart desires.”“It certainly is.”“Then, I will support you with my strength, and put my line on the line, My Lord.”“Huh~”“Huh~”Two people, sitting on the bed, watched the unconscious lady with a similar set of annoyance expressions.Hades and Persephone could only stare in silence at the sideline with their grim faces. Currently, Shadow, Sabrina
“Humans have two sides.” Shadow smoothed out another wrinkled part, just around his rib.“Evil and good. You have told me before.”“Correct.” A small chuckle breathed out by her before she pushed Dionysus two steps behind and stared at him like his personal clothes designer. “Hurmm…”“Is this good enough?” He expanded both of his arms to the side.She twirled her fingers as she said, “and both of them on an evil side.”Dionysus complied by twirling his whole body slowly while saying, “obviously.”“You are ready to go.” She folded her arm over her chest while the other stroked her
Dionysus moved in an utmost stealthy manner. As soon as he parked his car and was escorted by the servant, he entered the ballroom with a happy expression.“This room has multilayer protection. What can go wrong?” He teased the poor servant who only listened to the highest order.The pale servant flinched and slouched down, all his confidence flew out of the window. “Oh my Lord, this lowly servant has been tasked with guiding you through this ballroom. He swears to sincerely serve you to the best of his abilities, oh Wine’s God.”Dionysus scoffed. Due to his fear, he had used the third people’s point to lessen his potential anger toward Dionysus. As the representative of the Gods, Dionysus, Persephone and Hades were the mo
