"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
"A wedding won't deter me from my current modus," in a party he attended with his friends, the famed bachelor laughingly popped champagne and poured himself a glass of it."You mean, your resume of competition against Paul McArthney upon his return?" interjected a flirty girl who knew some bits of knowledge of his beef with the other young tycoon.Marc hugged the slim waist of the woman and playfully landed a kiss on her luscious lips, "Babe, I like how witty you are to get my meaning almost so immediately."Pleasant laughter reverberated after. The man took a mouthful of his drink and stared outside the transparent glass wall of the bar. Looking into the distance, in the direction where Starlight's main building was located, a corner of his lips rose up.'Since Paul is back, my interest in stealing Agatha Silver from him also returned. Wouldn't it more fun now since she has become his fiancée?'Unaware that his own fiancée was near the breaking point due to the most recent turn of ev
The two were in a small but lavishly decorated residence especially bought by Governor Su for Agatha. The governor had truly become a fanatic and had no qualms burning holes in his finance to provide the most comfortable dwelling for the woman. Agatha of course rewarded him... with amnesty. After all, before the guy got brainwashed and showed his usefulness, it was an undeniable fact that he charged towards her temporary residence at Gentle Wind City to arrest her and collect back the girls she rescued. Inside the room, Cora finished hanging the beautiful curtains by the window. While setting up the fragrance atop the bedside table, she heard Agatha speak. "It's been a long journey before we reached here and since the population of this city is big, I want to start the reform here. Cora, from now on, none of you must refer to me as Goddess. Just call me Miss, and I want you to tell others to start moving." A flash of understanding flickered in the servant's face. She turned to Agat
