Fiona nervously stood in a room that was dimly lit in warm golden light. In front of her, on the couch, sat her new Master, who was not even looking at her but chatting with someone on his phone.
Finally, after half an hour, Keith put the phone away and raised his head. Their eyes met before she immediately lowered her head, and an amused smile crept on his lips as he caught her staring...
Keith could not help but smile as he watched the pair of mother and son nervously looking at him, their bodies shaking a little in fear.
Roy had his head lowered as he half hid behind Fiona, and the young mother was trying to find words to say to him but failed to find them.
She could not even muster up the courage to thank him for saving her life since she understood that he ha...
"Please, save her..." Roy whispered again, and his words made the man lightly smile at his love for his mother.
"If I help her cheat death, I would have to answer for it one day." Keith looked at the Child of Destiny and said. "And she means everything to you." He pointed out. "What could you possibly do to repay me for saving her?"
"Please." The boy begged again.
"A deal...

Waterford, Ireland.
A young boy, around the age of 12 stood outside a church, staring at the door with vacant eyes.
He was a beautiful boy, yes, it was the word one would use to describe him. Thick dark blonde hair, which he inherited from his father, and his mother's beautiful green eyes made him stand out wherever he went, and it helped that he was qu...
Keith and Rebecca seriously looked at the light and the golden sparkles that emanated from Abuzar's body.
This was not a normal light but a light that contained traces of the Law of Life, and they both could clearly sense it.
The God Ring on Abuzar's finger shined too, and then, minutes later, it stopped.
It was at that moment that a portal appeared in the sky, swirling ...
On a beautiful summer evening in Sicily, a farmhouse next to a vineyard, which was surrounded by hills on three sides, was already lit up in festive lights.
Though this place was not far away from the other vineyards in this region, people seldom came here, and for miles, there was no one to be seen today except for the guests who were slowly arriving at the venue of tonight's ceremony....

Demiliore Manor, Corsica, Italia
In a courtyard, the sharp clangs of metal could be heard along with a strange shattering sound every time the Aura-Laced weapons clashed against each other.
Yingying, Minami, Rebecca, Iseul, and Marianne were all using swords against Keith, whose defence was impregnable and no matter what they tried, his un-ordinarily ...
In the back courtyard of the Castle, a very tall man was engaged in a playful spar with little kids, a pair of twins with pitch-black hair and warm brown eyes.
It looked like a playful spar from the man's perspective, but the siblings were doing their utter best to land a hit on their opponent, which they had failed to do so far.
There was just something feral about these two ch...

Demiliore Castle, Florence, Italia
The rays of the sun finally peeked through the windows of the Lord's Chambers, but just as it had been for the last few days, the curtains blocked them from approaching the young man, who was sleeping in his bed, stark naked, and only covered in white silk sheets.
His even breaths suddenly slowed down, and then he in...
The curtain of Darkness receded, getting smaller and smaller, eventually merging with the tall young man who was standing at the centre of the battlefield without a single scratch on his body or his black suit.
Everyone stared at the lifeless body of Nergal, and how pitiful it looked, covered in blood from head to toe, and silence reigned as their hearts felt a little heavy.
In ...
In a world of Darkness that Azdaar found himself lost inside, the ground beneath his feet was pulling onto him as if it wanted to devour him.
The gravitational pressure locked on him was several times greater than what he had tried to lock Keith with, and in this despicable place, he could not sense the presence of his enemy at all.
Not willing to take any risks, Azdaar fortifie...
Seeing Keith so confidently rust at him, Azdaar did not take any risks or wait for his Aura Soul to return by his side to shield an attack for him. He utilised his Aura to construct a shield, empowered it, and then took him on.
A loud explosion sounded out in the vicinity as the shield and the sword collided with each other, and then they watched Azdaar conjure up a battle hammer in the...

Valley of Tombs, Palmyra, Syria
There was a solemn silence all around the Valley. A silence that permeated deep into your soul and warned you to prepare yourself for the inevitable storm.
And a storm was indeed brewing.
Under the brightening sky, where the first streaks of sunlight had peered through, two crystal thrones were placed adjacent to ea...
"Checkmate." Rebecca smiled as he placed her moved her Rook on the board. "Want to play again?"
"My apologies, Lady Hecate." The blonde man sitting adjacent to her, who shared the same sun-kissed blonde hair and ocean-blue eyes, politely smiled.
Though it appeared that these two were related, it was not the case. The young man was none other than the Inheritor of Poseidon, Caspi...

Machairas Forest, Cyprus
A middle-aged man, wearing dark clothes, walked down the road in the middle of the night.
His name was Makarios, and he was one of the Vice-Commanders of Zero, the Mercenary Organisation headed by the Mortal God, Hades.
Even though it was the darkest hour of the night, and the night was even darker than usual thanks to t...
A mother's wail rose to the sky when her child was slaughtered right in front of her eyes, and even though half her body was mangled, she still managed to get up on her working leg, and then rushed at the enemy again.
Qin Feng did not even bother with her anymore as he rushed at Oros, letting his Aura Soul deal with the woman.
The golden serpentine dragon rushed to meet Mushka, ...
Somewhere in the Kurdish region of Iraq, a few miles away from lake Dohuk, a battalion was camping, away and safe on this uninhabited land.
However, right underneath them was an underground settlement that had existed there for centuries, and this was where the tribe of Hubo resided.
The tribe of Hubo was an ancient tribe of werewolves, one whose roots dated back thousands of ye...

Somewhere in Al-Hajarah, Iraqi Desert, Iraq, the fiercest war cries, clanks of metals, and gunshots could be heard from even a mile away, and in an area surrounded by cliffs, the smell of gunpowder and blood contaminated the air.
"Ahhh!!!" A blood-curdling scream sounded out as a man was shredded into pieces by a Monster.
It was a creature well abov...
The last few days at the Demiliore Castle were as lively as they could be, and though Keith planned on focusing on his Battle Art Training, he decided to postpone it to have some fun with his family.
It had not taken long for Ingvild to become everyone's favourite since she was the youngest of them all, and everyone had started doting on her a lot.
Since the little princess had ...
Inside the secret Chamber under the Tower or Nox, Keith was sitting on top of a crystalline throne that he had created.
His eyes were closed, and his mind was much clearer now after an hour of meditation where he reigned all his senses, dropping all his guards down.
There were only two other people in the Chamber with him, and they were his Shadow and his ever-so-obedient Maid, ...
One might have expected the two sisters to run to each other, but what happened was that Ingvild nervously hid behind Keith, shedding her tears, whilst her older sister calmly walked towards them.
Ingrid's eyes were fixed on the little girl who was trying to hide from her, and with every step she took forward, her heart accelerated.
She did not doubt who this little girl was. Af...

Noxville Airfield, Noxville, Netheria
A private plane landed on the restricted Airstrip early in the morning, and a few minutes later, four figures disembarked it.
"Master Demiliore!" A man in a black suit bowed to him, and then handed over the keys to the Range Rover that he had brought here.
He was one of the Security Heads of the Noxville, and ...
Her amber eyes squinted a little as she comfortingly adjusted herself in his arms, but then they suddenly shot open and she panicked a little.
She found herself lying on top of another body, which smelled good that it dazed her a little, but then she slowly raised her head.
"Good morning." Keith smiled as he looked down into Ingvild's eyes and watched the girl blush.
He ...
"What is this place, Sister Val?" An enchantingly beautiful girl, who was about 12 years old, curiously asked as she followed Valerie into an old castle, somewhere in Turkiye.
Valerie only turned and smiled at her, then gently offered her hand, which the little girl with auburn hair and amber eyes happily grabbed.
She had not been allowed to go outside so freely, and never witho...
It was a very awkward dinner, to say the least.
Everyone at the table was not focusing on their meal, well, except for Keith, who seemed to have no care about the storm he had earlier brewed.
However, the biggest surprise was that Nergal did not leave but joined them for dinner.
He seemed quite focused on his meal too, but his occasional glances at Keith and Qin Feng gav...
A delicate touch of soft lips made him smile in his sleep, and when it landed again and his mind registered her familiar scent, Keith opened his eyes to meet Minami's smiling face.
"It's time, Master," She told him, and he reached up to capture her lips.
"Thank you." He nudged his nose with hers before getting up and then entered the restroom to freshen up.
Exactly five ...

Netherian Secret Base, Nineveh, Iraq
Dozens of miles to the east of the Ancient Nineveh city, in an underground compound, which was first built at the beginning of the 20th Century, a few people sat inside a control room, which was filled with screens, surveillance feeds, and other data that Iseul was keeping tabs on.
At a rough table, Keith sat lookin...
