The Author Is Speechless

Chapter 156: Wind Guardian

8 days passed in Viktor's time-accelerated space. He was sleeping the whole time despite his guardian's fragment that doesn't allow one to sleep.

But, since he was still hanging onto his human body, he still had that ability to fall asleep. He was in so much comfort that he didn't even move an inch or breath once the whole time. He was sleeping like a dead body in a coffin.

The time acceleration almost came to an end and then, his 6th sense warned him. He finally opened his eyes and saw the time was still ticking at 6:40 pm.

He yawned and removed the blanket to get down from the bed and then, he flicked his finger. The time-space went away and the clock on the wall finally started to tick.

'That was a great nap.'

He opened the curtains and the setting sun's rays fell on his face. His silver eyes sparked due to the beautiful warm light and his white messy hair absorbed its warmth.

The day dawned.

Viktor then looked at the clock and saw it was 7 o'clock, almost time for his dinner.

He walked out of the room in his silk night shirt and saw almost all the people weren't present. They were all outside and only one worker was there. He was inside the kitchen preparing his food.

So he went inside the kitchen and saw the new worker making bread. He didn't notice Viktor coming in so he was inside his own thoughts and doing his work.

Viktor approached him and asked, "What are you making?"

"Eeekkkkk!!!"

He accidentally threw the bowl in mid-air because he was surprised. But Viktor who knew where it was going, caught it with wind magic and again said, "Be careful in the kitchen. You might hurt yourself."

The young man was surprised because of his sudden appearance. According to his knowledge, nobody in the house usually spends their time at this hour. So it was the best time to experiment with food but who knew the young master of the house would walk around in the kitchen?

"Umm.. young master. I'm sorry for my carelessness."

"No need to say sorry for that. It's my fault that I approached you without making a sound. Anyway, what are you making?"

Viktor looked at his baby face and saw he was trembling in fear. His black short hair and rare black eyes were making him look outstanding. But he was only 15 so he was more of a pretty boy than a young handsome man.

Also, something caught Viktor's eyes after a while. That boy didn't have the ability to handle mana. The fault wasn't the body or anything. It was because he had the capability of using dark magic.

He was born in a family that uses water magic. But since he had the talent for casting dark magic, he couldn't use any magic related to the water element. That's why he was kicked out of his home as a non-hybrid and ended up as a kitchen staff in Viktor's house a few days ago.

He doesn't even have an idea that he could use such magic.

Viktor stared at the boy's pale face and again said, "Name?"

"I'm Park Hajin."

"Half half?"

"Yes, my mother is from Japan."

"I see. Don't be afraid of me. Please be at ease. I'm here because it's almost my dinner time. And some friends will come over at 8. Adonis is out for work that's why I won't have a formal dinner tonight. Let's see what you can make."

"I..I'm not a great cook, young master."

Viktor smiled and said, "Then how about learning from me? I'm a great cook. Adonis loves my meals."

"No, how can I let the young master cook? Please let me do it."

Viktor stopped talking for some moment because he was seeing the future of that boy and then said, "I see. I've found an unpolished gem. Hajin, how about becoming my student? I'll teach you magic that exists beyond human capabilities. You'll rise so high that you can even become one of them. How about it?"

"But, I don't have any mana."

"You'll learn magic that doesn't require mana. It's already inside you. A small dark marble, waiting to bloom and face the light."

Viktor then smiled and said, "Okay then, when you feel like it. You can always come to me. The magic I'll teach you is way more powerful than your clan. They'll drool over your magic once you master it."

Viktor grabbed an orange from the counter and said, "It's almost time for my friends to come over. I won't have dinner today because they are bringing in some food. Take care, Park Hajin. Come to me when you change your mind."

Viktor closed the door and vanished from that place. He was preparing the guest room because Min Ah and the other three were coming over.

'This is too much work-_-. And why did I tell that kid that I'll take him as a student? I better erase his memories before it's too late. I'm too lazy to handle things like that. If he's gone, who's going to clean the dishes-_-?'

He quickly took his record out and erased the whole conversation they had. He then fell on his couch and looked at his ringing phone. It was Baek.

"You're already here?"

*Yes man. We're almost there. But the thing is, how gigantic your house is?*

"Quit joking. Come over, I'm super hungry."

Viktor opened the main door of the house and greeted them at first sight. Min Ah was quite surprised to see Viktor living in a huge house and then he saw the buried painting of someone and Adonis in a classic outfit standing next to him. The face of that unknown man wasn't fully burned and half of his face was intact.

That unknown man also had unique silver eyes just like Viktor's. So he asked, "Who is that man? Why is a picture like that hanging there?"

"Oh, that? That's a picture of Adonis and someone very close to him. There was an accident so the painting is in that state."

"No, what I meant is that man's identity. Who is that?"

"A savoir of Adonis. He's dead though so don't mind him. Let's go."

…..

After a few hours…

The three of them passed after drinking a lot but Viktor was still awake. He was sitting in the corner of his room and staring at their half-dead face. Their duty was after a few hours but they forgot about it.

So he started to wake them up and said, "Oi, it's 1 am. Wake up. We got duty at 4."

Ijin rolled over and said, "The beer was too strong. I can feel my head exploding. Ugh… 1 am already? I need hangover soup."

"You're not even officially 19. How are you so used to beer and hangover soup?" Viktor asked.

"Oh," he rubbed his eyes and answered, "That's because it's a tradition to drink at our 'coming age ceremony' in our clan. Not just us, every clan follows this ritual."

"Hoo? Interesting. Anyway, drink this. This will cure everything."

Ijin took the medicine and woke the others up because of their duty. Adonis also came back home after lots of work and then he reported something very unusual.

Viktor was pretty surprised to hear that so he rushed out of his house and reached the front gate. A man was standing in front of his doorstep.

It was someone from the guardian realm. Due to the holy magic barrier around the house, he couldn't enter without permission. So he had to wait until someone came.

Viktor knew someone from the guardian realm would come to see him but his predictions were wrong because an error occurred.

So he ended up in front of his doorstep 3 months before the actual time.

Viktor looked at that man's face and saw long green hair with golden eyes. His big appearance was shrunk to the size of Adonis standard but still, he looked enormous.

The silk white dress was touching the ground but somehow, it remained clean.

Viktor approached the gate and then asked, "It looks like I have an unexpected guest, standing in front of my house uninvited."

"I followed the faint presence of a guardian fragment. Our world tree has become very unstable for the lack of celestial energy. So many stars are evaporating every second. The god isn't responding to any of our prayers. Not only that, the heavenly guardians aren't also opening the door to heaven."

"So? What can I do?" Viktor asked.

The guardian of wind answered, "The wind is telling me that someone from this area has the ability to stop this disaster and save this universe. I'm unable to find the person because of this strong barrier."

"Someone who can save the universe, huh? So those kings are willing to shake hands with criminals? This is very unusual."

Viktor opened the gate and held the wind guardian's hand to drag him inside. He was a little surprised by his act but when he crossed the holy magic barrier, he fell on his knee. He was terrified of his terrifying presence.

"Let me tell you something clearly. Our universe's controller is the goddess of light. She ditched this universe because she got bored. Not only that, but she also removed this universe from her surveillance because she was cut off from her celestial statue due to her vulgar act. The reason? She created us, the alien-like creatures without any permission from the kings of gods. Also, she made us fight with each other for a mere realm. How can you expect this universe to be saved? The result will be the same even if you try your best until a new god is born and shows mercy."

The guardian of the wind looked at his face and asked, "Just who are you? How did you know all of this?"

"Me? I'm Viktor E. North. A demigod of all living records."
