While Agatha and the others were passing a busy day, Paul temporarily dumped off the majority of his works in Ever Victorious and McArthney Empire to Dylan and then set off to give his uncle and Fred some troubles. While the former did not make things difficult for him and allowed him to throw a few punches in his aged face and troll him big time, the latter was different.Fred was located somewhere in a layer, actually. It was just that the abandoned convalescence was made to stay on Earth's surface. Only people with connections to the system could see the place but even that was up to the owner's whims. And that person was not Fred. It was the so-called Director, somebody of mysterious origin and power who could make even that crazy failure of a scientist behaved in a proper way.Before, Paul threatened Sandro of making him a human bomb he would throw at the mental hospital, but he was merely bluffing back then. He didn't even have the means to make that place appear. How would he d
The owner of the chateau had officially started to target Agatha. And nope. He was not the one who caused Amanda Moore to disappear. His obsession was only towards Agatha and he was strong enough to not use petty tricks when dealing with people. A level 6 was not someone who would make him use dirty tactics.'It's funny that one of her protectors wanted the fake sister my muse greatly cares about out of her life.' The man chuckled.This was actually his guess, which he deduced from the clues he had gathered so far. There was no way Paul McArthney had contacts with other hosts. The old guy earlier was a disguised host, but since he could inquire about this person, it meant he was not the other protector. Based on his investigation, there were no other foreign invaders yet, probably intimidated by the fact that a god was in this country.Given this information, it was easy to guess that the one who had tossed the poor girl and changed her memories was somebody working under that other p
"Fred…" A voice called out within the abandoned convalescence, the realm in the highest Layer within Alina City. "Do you know?"An aged man was looking into the distance with a nostalgic expression on his face.On his left side, the crazy scientist who had long vowed to revive his wife was standing next to him by the window, albeit located a step back and in a rare respectful stance. He was also staring outside, at the day sky that was bleeding into nightfall, and he didn't answer when his name was called. "I've long been wondering one thing to myself…" A soft sigh rang from the old director, followed by a statement that had hints of sorrow and self-mockery. "Life is really full of irony and lies…. People believe in gods, revering them as embodiments of sacredness and hope…Yet they didn't know that to become a god, one had to embark on a path that is not only full of thorns, but coated with blood, betrayal, sadness, immorality, depravity, and sins… Still, for these common people, go
'Where am I?'The moment Agatha opened her eyes and saw that she was in an unfamiliar place, her heart dropped, and she began to look around frantically. It was a second later that she realized her tied were tied, her mouth was gagged, her bare feet were also chained. Her state made her realize she was in a very confusing and bad situation.Dark ceilings, cold floor, sounds of rats, cries of females… As these details made way into her brain, memories also started to pour into her mind, allowing her to remember that she was attacked near the elevator where her sister vanished.After that was a blinding flash and light that engulfed her… and teleported her somewhere she didn't know?'System!' The girl temporarily ignored the fact that she was in a cell housing several chained and bound girls like her, all with good looks and slim bodies that could have been a clue to what was happening. All that was in her mind was to confirm whether the damn being in her head could still be accessed. A
Hours after… three miles away from the slave traders' camp…A city guard ran panically ran towards a mansion near the city center and entered through a side door. Fearful and with large beads of sweat running down his face, he stuttered towards the person in that backyard."G-great Sir! This is bad! W-wiped out! Merchant Guo's whole camp is wiped out!"The majestic brocade-robed middle-aged fishing on the pond stood up in shock and exclaimed, "What!?"The concept that the world was never as it seemed began since ancient times.The vanished islands…Lost continents…Mystical realms...Other dimensions…In his memories, Paul had once heard from a sane and scholarly immoral host that the world was suspected to be made of several layers. The first one was the surface world where normal humans reside. It was where everyone was truly born… And where immoral hosts could only come from. According to records, there had never been immoral hosts that were not originally born in the surface world
With regained calmness and a cold glint flickering through her beautiful black eyes, Agatha willed the fire to vanish and then she ordered the governor, "Tell me everything about the royal family and big aristocratic families in Xia Empire's capital… Leave no details unsaid... It is my first test to you as my loyal subject..."People who found themselves transported to another world would usually long to go back to where they came from. It was a natural instinct, born in the depths of one's heart to persist in lingering inside and would rear its head whenever the transmigrator felt like he was already okay to stay in the current world.No matter how one denies it, it was a fact that even if one had no ties remaining to that place, the concept of home was not something they could easily brush off. The longing in their hearts would prevent them from fully integrating into the new world… They would always think of the inerasable past. It was the most painful kind of home-sickness.But th
Paul's tone reached an all-time low when he confronted his uncle face to face.Without going round about it, he asked with gritted teeth, "Uncle, be honest with me. In this country, who else can erase traces and make it appear like there was no transfer or space-related kidnapping that happened? Who else can fulfill the condition above while also being related to Agatha? And why would he do this, huh?"Conrad was in his villa, sipping tea and unwinding from the roller-coaster mess he got himself involved in the past years when his nephew made an unexpected visit while wearing a grave face. The man almost spits his tea upon hearing the question.'What happened again?''Fred's daughter disappeared?''Paul is suspecting Fred?'The Business King of Alina City really had no idea about the mad doctor's action this time so he was dumbfounded upon being stared at by his nephew as if he was a very hated enemy. Countless thoughts flashed across and when he realized the reason, a bitter smile hu
"Eithan… Why are we looking for Mr. McArthney?" Puzzled and anxious, Irene asked him.They walked down the low staircase leading to the parking lot in the basement of the building. Worry could be made out on the actress' face too since she could see that he was making a gloomy expression.How would he answer his girlfriend who didn't really have a holistic idea of what he was and what kind of world he was living at now? The man wondered. He knew how he acted earlier in the penthouse so, in the woman's view, he probably appeared weird since he abruptly pulled her towards this place without informing her why.He remained silent for some time before he spoke in a low voice. "Irene, do you know that Ms. Silver has been kidnapped?""What?" Genuine shock immediately crossed the woman's face. What he said felt surreal to her and her body even jolted a bit on her seat.Eithan grimly nodded. Yet Irene still couldn't believe it. Even when their car left for the main road, her head was shaking a
