Eden Palace, Eden, Netheria
The security at the Palace could put any well-guarded place in the world to shame. After all, this was the headquarter of the most powerful country in the entire world.
Despite the security, no one stopped the pair of a young man and woman, who walked down the long corridor to the office of the Governor-General of Netheria.
When Iseul opened her eyes, she found herself lying in a familiar bed and under a familiar ceiling, and immediately, she pouted at the man who was sitting at the study table in the room, reading his Tome of an unknown language.
"Why did you do it, Senpai?" She grumpily asked.
"You let your guard down." He lightly said, and she frowned.
"He had no chance of escaping."
{Host, wake up!}
The System's voice buzzed in his head over and over again, and Mathew, who was sound asleep and having the most wonderful dream of his life was a little mad at being disturbed.
"Let me sleep!" He groaned and then turned to one side, smiling again.
{Host, wake up!}
"L-let me sleep..."
{Your Mysterious Pendant is gone!} The System loudly info...
Two figures stood next to each other, wearing all-black, from head to toe, and masks that hid their identities.
"Did you cut the surveillance?" The first person asked, undoubtedly a man given his stature and physique.
"Yes. The path is clear." The second person, who was much shorter and undoubtedly a girl, replied.
"Let's go."
And with that call, the two ran forwa...

Caesar Hotel, Mystich City, Oldwyn, Netheria.
Keith smiled when he looked at the anxiety on Mathew's face.
The bold Heir of the Oscar Family came to this party uninvited, and now he was standing in front of him and his wife, holding out his hand to shake it with her.
And Amelia bore her eyes into him, making his confidence crumble down.

Oscar Mansion, Mystich City, Oldwyn, Netheria.
In a duel room, a piece of raging music sounded out as a young man's expert fingers fell aggressively on the keys.
Had there been some more light in the room, one would find tear stains under his eyes, and his eyes, which used to have a sparkle full of life, were utterly dull and vacant now.
His name...
"Senpai, Maria Valeca has accepted Javier Alvarez's marriage proposal. The Alvarez Family has already started transferring funds to her to take care of her debts."
"I see." Keith nodded. "And Mathew?"
"He came to the cafe and caused trouble. However, Javier decided to call the Police, and he was detained for half an hour and was fined 50,000 Neris."
Keith could not help ...
"Mathew... I.."
"What did you just say?" He stared at her, still stunned at what she had just told him.
Julia was feeling more unwell now as she could see that he was not pleased to hear the news.
"I am pregnant." She held back her tears and lowered her head.
The words once again rang in the young man's mind. He did not know how to react to it.
All Mathew...
It was a funny and awkward scene that greeted Keith when he entered the main living room the next morning.
There, in front of his dear wife, stood the Goldsmith Twins as well as Zoey, who had their heads lowered for some reason, and they were all fidgeting as Amelia scrutinised the three of them.
She was not saying anything, was just looking at them, and both Iseul and Minami we...
"Stella Stone. A medical student and an intern nurse..."
Keith listened to all the information Iseul gathered on the girl that Mathew had been talking to since last night.
As he had expected, he had read nothing about this girl in the plan of Destiny that was meant for Mathew.
"Is she special?" He highly doubted it, but he still wanted to be sure and asked the
{N...
"What are you looking at?"
The question and the playful smile on his face made the girl burn in a furious blush.
"You." She bit her lower lip, and only lowered her eyes for a second before sneaking a glance at his nakedness.
She just could not resist how perfect he was, and it was less lust and more fascination that she stared at him. But that might be because her lust h...
{Ding! The Quest to Conquer Hannah Reyes has failed!}
{Failure Penalty: The Host would not receive any rewards from his first successful quest.}
{Ding! The Quest to Conquer Zoey Alvarez has failed!}
{Failure Penalty: The Host would get half the rewards from his second successful quest.}
Mathew vacantly stared at the ceiling of his hospital ward.
He was already expect...
"You deliberately did it, didn't you?" Zoey, who was hugging his arm, looked up and narrowed her eyes at him.
There, in front of them, was the room that Javier and Hannah had just entered in their drunken and lustful haze. And she could only blame Keith for it.
Keith had made them all drink with him. It was quite easy after Zoey requested him to play a song for them, and he promi...
Caesar Hotel, Mystich City, Oldwyn, Netheria.
It was a beautiful Sunday evening, and the city had received a rare downpour in the heat of the summer reason, which brought a joyous atmosphere everywhere.
Tonight, the Heir of the Alvarez Family was throwing a success party for his latest business venture, but only the younger generation of the city was invited to it.
By 7 p...
It was late Sunday morning, and Mathew was back at the Hospital, resting in a private ward.
He spent the entire day yesterday making sure that everything was finished within the time Keith gave them, and to his relief, the transfers went smoothly.
His heart had bled when he lost everything under his name, but it was all his fault. However, it did not stop him from hating Keith a...
"What brings you here, Mr. Frost?" Keith showed a lack of interest and did not even bother looking at the two guests who came to his door unannounced.
However, he received no answer, and when he finally raised his eyes, he found Mathew looking at Amira and Reina in a confused state.
Of course, he was wondering what the two of them were doing at Keith's home and why they were sit...
After a good night in bed, where he simply hugged his Shadow to sleep, Keith woke up to the sight of Yingying meditating and whispering some verses in a Divine Language.
She had stepped into the Primal Desolation a couple of days ago, and it was a very hard time for her as she kept losing and regaining her strength several times within one day.
Keith had gifted her a Realm Seali...
It was nearly midnight when a red Cadillac Blackwing pulled outside the Alvarez Manor, and a girl with beautiful chestnut hair got out of the car.
"Good night, Keith!" Zoey happily said.
"Good night, Zoey." He smiled at her and watched her skip inside the Manor.
As he started driving off, he glanced in the rearview mirror and found the twins nervously gazing out the wind...
Inside an Ice-Cream Parlour, a pair of identical twins with honey-blonde hair and amber eyes sat at a table, sharing a parfait in silence. Their eyes were a little vacant, and it was because their minds were still drifting off to the dreadful event they had just witnessed.
The older of the two, Amira, sneakily glanced at the handsome young man sitting across them, and she found him enjo...
Flower Street, one of the most beautiful and peaceful places in Mystich City, erupted into chaos as soon as two beautiful high-school girls walked out of a shop, holding a pair of bouquets and wearing warm smiles on their faces.
Their smiles did not last long as the bodyguard waiting for them outside the shop suddenly dropped to his knees and fainted. Behind him stood a tall man with a ...
[The Host must work hard. The quest would fail if Zoey Alvarez is taken by Keith Demiliore.]
"Shut up," Mathew growled as he looked at the images of Keith and Zoey exploring the city.
It was Friday today, three days since he went to the Mansion that once used to be Maria's home. And in these last three days, Keith and Zoey met daily as they continued exploring the city.
E...
"I am sorry, Master." Inside a study, a tall young black man apologetically stood in front of his Master, whose mere gaze rooted him in his place with gravity acting several times stronger on him.
"You wasted six months." Keith coldly spoke, and Zor's body trembled before he dropped to his knees.
Even though his body ached terribly, he did not dare to utter a cry or raise his he...
The Oscars were once the Underworld Overlords of the Mystich City, and even now, after decades of going clean, they still held a lot of control of the underground forces in the city.
Mathew had received a quest for Maira Valeca, the daughter who wanted nothing to retrieve everything that her family had lost at the hands of their enemies, but unfortunately for her, her enemies were way s...
"How do I look, Senpai?" Iseul mischievously asked after she dressed into a bunny-girl costume right in front of his eyes.
"Cute." He admitted as he smiled, enjoying the show.
She was naturally beautiful. Pretty much everything she put on looked good on her, and this costume was no different. In fact, she looked undeniably sexy in it.
"Really?" She sensually bent over and...
It was nearly dawn when Keith opened his eyes from his meditative state, and his body, which had been hovering in the air for the last four hours, descended on the ground.
Stretching his arms lazily, he looked at the clock and sighed. He did not intend to meditate for so long, but once he focused on sensing the Power of Space in him and around him, he just lost himself to the sensations...
"Surprise me." He smiled. "What could you possibly do to make it fun for me?"
The question left Mathew in a dazed state. A few ideas came to his mind but he could not bring himself to voice them out.
After all, the gap between the Demiliore Family and his family was just too big. Even if all the giants of Mystich City stood against the Demiliore of the Sameran City, they would st...
"Come, Hannah." Javier suddenly said when his parents invited him forward for the cake-cutting ceremony.
His action made the guests smile. Everyone in the city knew that Javier Alvarez was head over heels in love with the eldest daughter of the Reyes Family, and he never shied away from showing his affection for her.
It was just that as always, Hannah did not seem too enthusiast...

This was never planned to b...

Eve's Kitchen, Adaline Street, Mystich City, Oldwyn, Netheria.
It was a famous restaurant in the city, right next to Mystich University, and since it was late in the afternoon, there were lots of people present there.
On a table in a corner, a very handsome young man sat across a pretty lady in an office skirt.
The man looked to be around th...
