THE BENEFACTOR (English) 9
"We should not delay. The queen will come and the king will make a brief appearance as well. Isn't this great, love?" Houston's father looks amazed as he gazes tenderly to her only daughter. He put on a bright white suit with a flower pinned on his chest. It was her daughter's open-arranged ceremony. It is a grand occasion that she initiated. He thought her daughter would never have the idea of marriage until the last day, she said she wanted to meet someone. And that he noticed the pile of letters at her table twice as many as usual.'What can it be aside from the truth that she has a very persuasive suitor?' He likes it. The idea that someone out there sees the uniqueness of her daughter and does not condemn her for it— it warms his insides. That's the kind of person everyone should aspire to!'But the queen.'Why is she coming? The past is long bygones but wasn't it a bit presumptuous of her to witness this celebration of Houston's maturity when in fact, she's the reason why his da

"Do you remember Houston?" the king mumbled to the queen, "She grew up well, dear."The woman on his left flinched. Her eyebrows raise in interest but the clenched fist betrayed her emotion. It was not interesting. It was hate. 'Was she reminded of her baby?'The king was amused, and it shows in his face. The woman was too uptight. He wondered why his parents assigned this woman for him when they are completely misaligned with each other's point of view in life.'Maybe that was exactly the reason why.' He never has once regretted his marriage with Taline, but there were nights he would think idly about 'what-if's. He's not all-knowing, but he can put two and two together. His queen's heart does not lie in him. He had long since accepted it.But to actually scheme against him?'That's new.'"Yeah, she's a fine woman now."If the baby survived, she would've shared the same age with Houston. Probably be friends with her and be the princess' personal aid. But the child died, and so the ki

Spencer was left to finish his task— which was laughably the most difficult in Jana's opinion. He had to seduce five women at most without being caught. Now she can fully understand why he was a Casanova from the former worlds and that he doesn't see the appeal of having a relationship aside from the instances.It must be a draining life for him."…Jana!"She cleared her throat, looking at the sides of the room before responding to Spencer. "Yes?""How is the trial court now? What did they do to Ezekiel?" Spencer's voice was a bit harried but his concern is recognizable. "Are you guys okay?""Ezekiel is gone." Jana smiled. "He finished his task already, Spence. It's now only you and me in this instance.""Fuck— Yes!" The man cheered, "I'm about to finish mine too. Only one confession left. I only need one NPC woman to admit their love to me and I'll be good."Her smile became a little tainted. Jana can't help but speak slowly, "I don't think I'll be able to go out soon.""Why?""Since

'Warning!''Warning!'Jana skidded to a stop. She looks up just in time to see the task world slowly dissipating. The people inside the game don't seem to panic and continue walking around— they are clearly NPC's who can't see what's the problem up ahead. The only ones panicking are the co-players as well as Jana.Ezekiel already finished his task. There's nothing else he needs to do. Now that his job is done, it's time for Jana to keep her end.'Vivien! Where are they?!' She continued running down the valley. Every head turns to look at her as if she's crazy. 'Well, they won't be entirely wrong.'"The gambler successfully killed the queen. The queen's royal guards are now focused on catching up with the killer behind her death. Host, they're right behind you!''What rotten luck!' Jana tore the hem of her long gown. The heavy garment is weighing her down. It can't get any more than an actual nuisance. She took a sharp turn and left dead leaves swaying as she ran for the forest.'The m

"Pixena!" The exquisite saloon had its windows widely opened. It's understandable why they only cater to beautiful women— it would be a shame lowering the curtains down when the most fantastic view is inside. "Oh, wow! Girl, you look splendid!""Do I?" Pixena wasn't pleased. She cut her hair shorter than she would have liked. That's all because Roshan said that girl... Well, 'Jana' needs to cut her hair short. Could there be any other meaning why Roshan wanted the woman to cut her hair that way? No! It must be because Roshan himself likes girls with shoulder-width hair and nothing else.It's bad for eavesdropping on other people's conversation but she can't help it! Pixena liked Roshan for so long and these past three months... Jana has been following him like a loyal dog. She had dug about the woman's background— nothing shady. In fact, Jana has quite the modest background and the skill to boost it up too.At the age of ten, she was able to refine materials for her dad to use in thei

On that morning, Jana tried to see if she can make use of her antagonistic halo and be good about something in just one night. She heard something about 'beginner's luck' and so she hopes to see if the same good fortune applies to her.Well, it was proven not.She started early in the morning, doing her job earnestly and receiving cuts from the knife and burns from the pan itself. Up until now she can't see herself improving. Ezekiel was hopefully supplying her with good words. Too good words but the man won't personally taste the dishes that she prepared. She can take the hint so his promising words became empty not long after she exposed his dual face and black heart.Jana doesn't know which one to make tomorrow. 'God! The event will start tomorrow and I'm still not prepared!' Which dish is she going to make?She need not ask to know that Pixena will be there too. The life of the villain wraps around the protagonist. So if her name is on the participating list, then it means Pixena

Ezekiel and Jana went shopping the whole morning. Because they were both college students both short in money, they opted to go visit thrift stores and dollar shops. They found a lot of useful things and a few miscellaneous items that Jana bought specifically for Vivien."I created Vivien for myself. I lost her halfway when my souls scattered. I'm glad that she went with you. She followed my memories and hold on to you, you're the most familiar thing to both of us inside the game." Ezekiel took a sip in his iced coffee while they walked in the park. His black jacket reeked of his head throb perfume. Every lungful of Jana makes her head full of his scent. "At first I thought she'd go for Jazz but then Jazz already had a system of her own so... it's kind of... complicated.""She never stopped looking for you, you know. She's a loyal older sister.""Yeah, I guess. We never really got to be closer before. After knowing about the things she did in order to find me... I feel happy. I was ne

It was a silent morning of February when our midterm exams began. I finished my paper and turned it in within 30 minutes of the test. My favorite part was the critical essay writing because the topic used was my report in the first month of the school-year, hence the subject is my forte. However, it was a minor subject. So passing it would mean I don't have to take it again. That's my main motivation the whole time I was taking it.I jogged to the cafeteria to get myself an early lunch. The crowded hall gets a bit humid and annoying during the break time, so I have to deal with my food at the earliest time to avoid unnecessary arguments with my schoolmates.Someone beat me on my favored seat when I got there.The spot with the nicest seat would be the window by the last corner of the room. It has a wide view of the cafeteria as well as the beautiful gardens outside the glass wall.It was a junior of mine who beat me to it. A fourth year highschool student with the dumbest polka dot ha

'Meow.' Vivien hates her current situation. She can't speak! And her owner has been grumpy for the last two days. What seems to be the problem of the great Ezekiel?Well, apparently, he can't find her former host. Miss Jana 'hoest' Tesoro. Vivien is naturally sad about this— not. 'Hmp!'Her last host was indeed a very good one at exaggerating her mistakes and berating her about her lack of support! But to be fair, Vivien does miss Jana.They've passed several worlds and lived several lifetimes together. It is impossible not to get attached."What do you think about it, Ezekiel?" Spencer paced the room two times. When the man he questioned did not answer, he turned his face to Ezekiel's side. "Kiel? Hello?""What do you exactly hate about her? The one who jailed you inside the game is her uncle. You should stop associating them together. You have to take into consideration the fact that the game consumed her when she forced her way into the simulation just to save you.""That's what ir

"What do you suggest, Roshan?" The emperor is old. He had an expression that shows how tired he is even if this is his first private meeting this very day. He's not that enthusiastic about Jana and Roshan's relationship. He sees colors for what they really are. Pixena is hailed the winner even when the match has not yet started. What's wrong with giving Jana the third rank? Roshan has defended her to this point. Their relationship is obvious. He would always favor Pixena over any other girl in the empire. Bias works this way. Still, he can't dictate Roshan's wishes. If he saw Ms. Jana as a worthy woman... then he could only give his blessings."This month." Ezekiel gave Jana a small smile. He wrapped his hands around her delicate fingers, massaging it lightly. "I want the wedding to be this month."Jana can't believe it!This man tricked her thoroughly!With warm tears in her eyes, she nudged him lightly by the shoulders. That's why he said Jana should enjoy this world— because it was

"Lady Pixena, do you have any words for the players of this cooking event?" The emcee was more than elated to finally interview the prime minister's daughter. The woman was even more gorgeous up close!"Well, I chose to be blunt. Haha! If Lady Jana wins in this event, I will willingly shave my eyebrows."It was the hardest blow. Even Jana who was seen to be smiling up until three seconds ago is now frowning hard with a hurt expression on her face. Pixena didn't even flinch. She laughed right at the audience's face.'I thought I had to sabotage her dish to make Roshan lose his interest for her but lo and behold! She did it herself!' Pixena inhaled and assumed her timid expression."Wo-Wow!" The man got more than he expected. He only wanted to throw shade at Lady Jana for entertainment purposes but now Lady Pixena pulled a wide blown start of a real cat fight!Jana's parents took offense at what Pixena said. Even if Jana's dish does look bad. It doesn't warrant her insult just like tha

Denise hasn't shown her presence. It was official, she finally got out of the game. Ezekiel told her that and it finally settled the little bit of conscience in her mind.Morning came and the cook-off session started. Pixena —unsurprisingly, joined the challenge and ordered tons of vegetables and spices for her own use. The emperor was too biased because she allowed Pixena to do this when in fact, he had strictly implied that no one should use resources aside from what the organizers had prepared."Ladies and gents, you will be given an hour each to complete your dishes!"'Might as well give me an eternity and it will still taste the same— morbid shit.' Jana stood above the platform readied for her. The audiences scattered around to look at the two meter distance. Every contestant have either a concerned or nervous expression. Only Pixena was confident, smiling brightly and scattering kisses everywhere.Ezekiel stood at the center of the stage. He is one of the panelist chosen to judg
