Another week quickly passed.
The capital was as busy as usual. There was almost no difference between night and day, especially at every city center. Those places never seemed to lack people. Even at wee hours, people could be seen loitering the streets. Or if they were at home, not everyone was asleep, especially the youngsters who loved to
...The friend of Nathan’s editor was discharged a day before Ley went back to the City of Pines from the mountain village. It came as a relief for Nathan. After all, the earring that was given to him was close to losing their effectiveness. In fact, there were times when elapses happened and he would saw filthy things that he did not want
...Nathan had no idea that when he left, the woman in red did become dumbfounded for several seconds and was not even able to intercept him when he went inside the cab. However, when she regained her senses, the ugly look that flashed across her face was not because she could not accept that Nathan left just like that. Or that he still refused
...Without knowledge that his only follower was being stared at maliciously by a scheming woman, Ley went back with Hana. Before reaching home, he asked the girl how her time at school was, then they talked about what happened in the capital while he was gone.The girl could not look him in the eyes when he asked whether she found new followers
...Ley was thrown into a whirlpool of emotions due to what he witnessed. He just couldn’t help but curse. ‘Damn!’
...When the night seemed to have drawn its curtain to Ley, having had a serious talk with the suicidal man at the bridge, he discovered that there were actually some more troubles brewing elsewhere. When Ley was about to cross the gate of Ephesian Garden, he received a call from Nathan. For some reason, the man wanted permission to bring home his lover. "..." The first time he heard that, naturally, question marks floated above his head.According to the person, this lover had been with him long ago and they recently broke up due to a misunderstanding. But now they were back. Listening to the words of his ‘employed believer’, Ley felt a bit puzzled. There was no name mentioned yet. The problem was that Nathan who was usually a no-nonsense type and a bit thrifty in words suddenly became a long-winded man. Yet now that this person was willing to explain, he was doing it something quite illogical. Who the hell phoned their employers for something like this? Ley naturally felt tha
...Nathan did not even bother to remember to request a room change. He was very tired upon getting back, the exhaustion of his mind more prevalent than the exhaustion of his body. Then the next day came. His editor Lucy video called him to report to him that she managed to push through the majority of his short stories into another horror collection series. The good news made him smile for a while and he sincerely thanked Lucy for her effort. He was happy since the royalties from published paperbacks were higher than what he was getting from online publishers. The larger his part in a collection, the larger his share too. After all, the online market was just really not into horror, but romance and fantasy. As part of a routine, the woman wanted to invite him out to celebrate. Sadly, Nathan was in no mood to pop champagne anywhere five steps away from the Hevel Residence. He could only refuse. After the call, the doorbell rang. Since he was the one in the living room and the oth
...Hello, everyone. This author is already exhausted today, and the previous chapter just closed an arc.
...“They said deities are actually born in one of the eastern island nations…”"Hmm? There are still places in this modern world that can give birth to deities?"“Well. I also found it weird. I thought all deities that should be born are already born. The mortals of the world has become too materialistic.” "I thought it's only the still pure-hearted animals and plants can have a chance of producing new Anitos. Are the newborns some sort of animal or plant symbol?"“No.” "No? You said they are mortals." “Humans.”"..." Two voices spoke to each other in the void. The place could not contain their majestic and regal self, but their voices conveyed some of it. Had there been anybody around to hear them, they would have gotten lost in a trance, or shivering from the unconditional fear that would engulf their entire body. Deities. They had always been beings of incomparable mightiness on earth. Especially ones like them who were merely a step away from ascension. The two were separ
