“A parade?” Liam asked as he and his parents enjoyed their dinner that night.
“Yes. A peace parade celebrating the start of social-economic relations between Euclase and the West Continent. Ah, no. We are not allowed to refer to them as the ‘West Continent’ anymore now,” Theodore said calmly.
“Petunia,” Liam tilted his head. “We must refer to them as Petunia now?”
“Yes. They wanted to be referred to as the Petunia Continent from now on because it’s more courteous than just referring to them as ‘the West’,” Theodore said.
“It’s quite nice, too, since in Petunia, they are not allowed to refer to us as the ‘Central Continent’ anymore either. They are required to refer to us as Euclase from now on,” Esme said.
Liam had just read the news from the paper. But everything felt incredibly strange.
In the timeline that he knew, this
Her hair was not the color of soft lavender from the unicorn’s curse. Her eye color was not bright lavender like her mother’s.She had a pair of beautiful silver eyes, and her hair was a very dark purple shade. But her mannerism, her smile, her face...Everything was the same.Cynthia Delaroche was the spitting image of his dearest wife, Harriet Godlane. And she was... the previous incarnation of her.But she shouldn’t be here.She should’ve been dead... five years ago.“So you’ve known her?” Theodore asked his son.But when he saw his eyes focusing on her figure, he realized something was wrong.Liam’s heart swelled with a torrent of emotions, yet he was powerless to release them. The sight of her stirred within him a longing that he had thought finely controlled.But he knew that she wouldn’t even remember him, that their love had bloomed in another kind of world, i
“Careful, don’t wake them.”As Zaha and Ezekiel moved the children to the other side of the bed, Harriet wiped off the scribbles of makeup on her husband’s face and body. She smiled all the way to the last stain, transferring it to the soft white towel in her hand.“You’re done?” Ezekiel asked after he put down one of the kids, the one they didn’t really know, with long black hair and a smaller body compared to the other two.“Wait, let me see if there’s another stain,” Harriet patiently checked his body. “We don’t want him to wake up with poorly drawn makeup on his skin. That would be too cruel.”After saying that, the woman chuckled.Both Zaha and Ezekiel glanced at each other. The Duchess’ mood had lifted completely now, maybe after seeing how close her children were with their father without her fully knowing.In a way, that was one of Harriet&rsquo
As the black wolf growled, its magic echoed through the trees and flowers, leaving destruction in its wake. Its power was raw and primal, a force of nature bound to its will. Nothing could stand in its way, yet...In front of him was his main prey, a white-haired man standing tall in front of an unconscious woman. He called his axe bound to him after years of using it with his <Aura>.GROOWL...The monster in front of him started to lower its head, showing its sharp teeth, threatening to lunge forward. But one must not forget that he was a mage first before a Lycan.A sharp pillar of red light shot up to the sky, and the horizon started to bleed. It was a massive red magic circle, just a glance away from an explosion.BOOOOOM!Aslan didn’t budge.Not like he was invincible, but apparently, his <Aura Mastery> was strong enough to protect himself and Yelan from that explosion. And all in all, he would only need to prot
Harriet had arrived at her limits countless times. She was exhausted after years of pushing herself. She had gone on expeditions, back to back, without proper rest.Exerting herself on this point was an understatement. She had pushed herself even beyond her limits. Even after going blind, having terrible nosebleeds, and even vomiting blood, she pushed through.It almost seemed that she had failed to care for herself.As she countered and neutralized Julian’s explosive spells, Heath and the other Lycans tried to subdue him. Harriet felt another fit of blood clots stuck in her throat, but she swallowed it back forcefully.As adrenaline pumped her blood, she didn’t realize that she shouldn’t have done any of this when she had no heart.The battle had only lasted a minute, yet it was enough for experienced warriors to settle the dispute... and destroy everything in their path.The pain started to burn her flesh. Her veins poppe
The world where no suffering existed. The world where everyone was still alive.It sounded like heaven. It sounded like a dream.In the world where Cynthia Delaroche succeeded in uniting the world, fixing the destiny before the wheel of time turned for the worst...In a world where probably Andrius did not exist... because Liam would be this world’s only god.Everything would go as how it should be, or would it go as how Liam wanted? Yet, was it even real if this was the ideal world of how everything should’ve happened?“Because this world did not happen, why do you think this is even allowed to happen?”“Why are you thinking of something not important?” his mirror image, his other him, and the other part of his soul asked.“I offered you the world with no suffering. You felt your first happiness in years in this world; your longing, your regrets are irrelevant here.”“I off
AWOOOOOOOO!“Cover me!” Harriet yelled as Liam jolted forward straight to the danger.A new energy rose within Harriet like a surging wave. And suddenly, she felt something start to reverberate inside her.BA-DUM!It was her heartbeat... or was it his?Suddenly, she could breathe properly. Suddenly, her body lost its fatigue, and her mind cleared. She felt his presence back inside her as he invaded her mind to find out what was happening.Her pain, her tiredness, her helplessness, everything became better in a matter of seconds.[Varuna]!As Harriet countered another [Inferna] with her own spell, water vapor started to rise. Liam controlled his attack to prevent serious injury to his Beta and hindered his movement as much as possible.Heath followed his lead, bolting to the opposite side to let Liam do his thing. At the same time, Harriet whispered another spell to restrict the monster’s movement more e
“Miss Yelan!”She left.She let go of her hand even though Aslan had tried to stop her.As he stood there, seeing her staggering back running toward her real destiny, Aslan felt his heart crumble. So it was truly... impossible.Aslan wanted to leave. He couldn’t bear to see, yet he forced himself to stay rooted to the spot.Just a bit more. He wanted to make sure Yelan would be okay. He wanted to make sure his love had made the right decision.Would it be okay to let her face her fear like this? Would it be okay to let her become a monster’s bride? Would she be happy?He stood there, watching as the scene unfolded. As Yelan hugged the beast, his body started to transform back into human form.He thought he was ready to do everything to help her gain her own happiness. He was ready to bring her away and give her the escape.Even though he knew she was only using him for her own benefit.“Aslan Antarcticite.”He was lost in his thoughts and surprised when Julian suddenly called his name
Once upon a time, three gods started a project of life.Andrius, Anatoli, and Ayja were three strong transcendence who gained Godhood from Heaven’s blessing. Each of them was extremely talented, and each one of them could create their own world if they wanted.But they decided to create a high realm among worlds and dimensions.Their creation was magnificent. It was not perfect, but the system was clear, and the creation had the opportunity they needed to survive.But just like other high realms, their project had become even more popular among lower-ranked gods. Like hungry hyenas, they put their watchful eyes behind the dark void of the cosmos. Waiting... for the right opportunity to strike.But as they waited, they became impatient and greedy.They tried everything to blow the wind of conflict toward the trio, and whatever it was, they managed to click a crack into their relationship.Ayja and Anatoli... and then Andrius.
