We walked for a long time. We talked about the days we spent when we are not in each other sight.I don't know when Lucas become an existence that I always relied on, but it felt right to tell him everything I went through in the past months that I am not with him.When he was in a coma in both body and soul, I reported everything to him even my daily matters so perhaps I have formed a habit to tell him everything.We exchanged letters a few times, but it was not enough to tell him everything. I told him the grievances I have with Mr. Lin Ze and Marcus. How the two spied on me and tortured me daily. Lucas seemed curious about my stories but he seemed to be more interested in Marcus. Well, Marcus stayed beside me most of the time, so in all my stories, Marcus's name was there.Like my visits to the monastery, my discovery of the existence of shadow, the war between the Association and the Capital, everything on it has Marcus' contribution.Lucas narrowed his eyes, "That Marcus....he w

Traversing the city in the night with Lucas was actually delightful and relaxing. I never knew that night could actually be so wonderful. I wished time would stop. I wish we could remain like this forever. Ever since I came into this world, the 'nighttime' in my dictionary was on the same meaning as dangerous. We only seek shelter momentarily to pass the night when nighttime comes. Thus, we never had a chance to stay in the city or have the luxury to observe the wonders at night. However, today was different. With Lucas, I don't need to care about the lingering demons or grim reapers. We are like on a date that only minds each other's presence. We never run out of things to talk about. Even though I don't have memories of the past, it did not stop me to tell interesting stories. Lucas would laugh at my poor humor and exaggerated narratives. Sometimes, he would just laugh out of nowhere even though what I am saying is not funny. His laughter was so contagious that I also laughed

The reception area was lively as the newlywed couple and the guests partied in lively music. The old and young danced on the dance floor, swaying their bodies in the upbeat beat. Everyone was laughing merrily. The joyous atmosphere in the air was contagious that it dispelled my depressed feelings.Lucas' eyes lit up. He immediately dragged me to the dance floor.There was upbeat funk jazz music played that made even the old people dance. The guests and the newly married couple went to the center. Some were in groups laughing as they swayed together with the beat."You know how to dance?" I asked him."Not really. But we can imitate them." There was a vigorous old man who was actively dancing on the dance floor. Despite his old age, his dance moves were smooth and looked cool. Because he was so eye-catching, the guest around him halted and gave him space while surrounding him.The old man loves the attention. His moves become more savvy and the surrounding guest cheered on him.Lucas

In one of the hidden core branches of the Capital, Sir Reynold was currently passing a letter to an old lady. Sir Reynold was part of a reinforcement team in the second battle between the Association and the Capital. He survived that mass extermination. On the third attack, he performed well and managed to face a junior grim reaper head-on. Thus, he attracted the higher-ups' attention. They suddenly moved him into one of the carefully hidden core branches and were told to wait for further instruction. Sir Reynold was a wise and vigilant man. Ever since he had been transferred here he could tell that some shadow spies were watching his every move. Although he looked free on the outside, Sir Benjamin knew that he was currently detained. He doesn't know why the Capital was giving so much effort to detain a nobody like him and doing things secretively. But he suspected it was related to his good performance. He regretted it a bit. However, if he did not fight with all he could, he wou

There was no sound inside the mansion. Old Noel had been here twice before. The last time he stayed, he had at least spent a week here. So he knew where to find the living room.But when he came, there was no Sir Benjamin. He waited for a while until he called him out."Sir Benjamin?"Silence.Old Noel waited a bit more. When almost an hour have passed, he finally could not hold it in and looked for Sir Benjamin at other places. But he couldn't find Sir Benjamin!What is this? Is this another way of torture? Hide and seek?"Sir Benjamin! Please don't play with me. You must have received the letters sent to you by the Association. I just came here to get a reply from you. Please have mercy on this junior!""....." There was still silence.Old Noel wanted to curse inside. No matter how powerful Sir Benjamin was, he was still too much to bully a junior like him!Woosh...Then suddenly he heard a sound coming from his left.It came from the left hallway. The place which submerged in darkn
