The Author Is Speechless

Chapter 63: Some informations

Back to his mansion.

In Viktor's study room, Adonis was pouring hot tea for his master who was busy reading some papers.

"Master, the tea is served.", Adonis politely put the silver cup of tea on the table and poured another cup for himself to have tea time with his master.

"How's Kathryn doing?", Viktor asked him while he took the first sip of his tea.

"She's doing alright. She is a quick learner and her reflexes are good. Her body build-up and strength are above an average demon or any monster. She can become a great weapon in the near future.", Adonis took a bite of the sweet chocolate cupcake he baked.

"That's good then. How is your cooking class going?" Adonis was outraged to hear him talking about the cooking class he was taking secretly. "Um… Master. It's going great."

"Good. Don't worry. I am not mad at you. You are allowed to live an independent life as you wish. But as your master, it's my responsibility to keep an eye on you. Learn whatever you want and if you ever need anything, just ask me." Viktor closed the file and removed the golden spectacle from his eyes.

"Thank you so much, master," Adonis replied with a gentle tone of voice. He felt relieved that his master wasn't disappointed in him.

Viktor looked at the clock and saw it was already his bath hour. But he was so lazy that he wasted an hour in his study room doodling in his notebook.

'Should I look for some books inside my records? Oh?'

He suddenly remembered something really important and he quickly went inside his library inside his subconscious and searched for a person's record.

He flew all the way to the red section and finally found the record he was looking for.

The book cover says,

'Ivon North.

Birth: 25th December 2001

Death 26th July 2029.'

"I found my book.", he muttered while looking at the bright red front cover. So, he opened the book and saw the name of his mother.

He touched the name with his fingertips and went to another section to find her out. He flew so far away and found a green book. A bright green book without a hint of red. She was healthy and alive.

"So she's still alive."

He opened the book and saw there was nothing but remorses. Her life was full of misery, pain, and suffering.

He read those records when he was born. He cried for her even though he had never thought of her as his mother. She was always beside him since elementary school. She was there when he was hurt, she was there when nobody was with him. But for her critical circumstances, she was unable to reveal the fact that she was her real mother.

But when her time came, it was too late. Ivon grew up, he encountered a great obstacle in his life that made him a cold-hearted man. So, she gave up and wished for a happy life for him. But her life was always full of blunders. Her final decision made him commit suicide…

He couldn't stop his tears.

"Why did you never come to see me? You were always beside me. You were there the whole time. Then why!!"

His tears were floating around him as if they were in space.

'I love you so much, son. But I can't forgive myself for abandoning you. I am sorry. But I will watch you grow up. I will be there the whole time.'

Recorded 12th April 2017. In front of 'x' high school.

'I am a failure son. Forgive me. I couldn't save you. Forgive me, son.'

Recorded 25th December 2030. 'X' graveyard.'

"Hic. Hic.... hic...."

He held his record to his chest and burst into tears reading her mother's records. Her life was indeed a pitiful one. An unlucky soul.

Adonis and Kathryn were standing by the door outside, listening to their master crying. But they hesitated to go inside and calm him down. It was their first time hearing their master crying, so they were also shocked and worried.

"Kath, do you have any idea why master is crying?", Adonis hushed near her ears.

"No, I've never seen him sad either. Maybe he's missing someone. I can smell sorrow from my master."

"But I'm sensing he is regretting something," Adonis mumbled and took Kathryn away from his study room.

"Hey! Why are you leaving? Aren't we supposed to take care of him?"

"Yes, but we don't have the authority to talk about our master's life. All we can do is support him and abide by him. Let's go."

…

Inside Viktor's Bedroom…

Man, I am so embarrassed now. Just look at those eyes! They looked like some bee kissed them.

Viktor took out the box he found from the academy underground out of the dimensional pocket and put it on the table. "Looks like the dragon tried to open the lock but he wasn't successful. There are claw marks all over the box."

The box Viktor found inside the seal was made of pure silver. The box was so heavy and it had an ancient lock on the side of it.

Viktor could feel the guardian fragment inside the box even though the box was tightly sealed with a magical lock around it. There was no way a guardian could figure out how to open it, let alone a human.

"Just what kind of guardian's fragment is it? This lock isn't just for decoration. This is a hell's seal."

Viktor made a quick search on the records of other guardians inside his library and came across a small event where the guardian mentioned something about hell's seal.

Hell's seal is a dark curse that keeps something dangerous inside. Or it keeps something precious from danger. Creating a hell's seal cost 999 human souls, 999 donkey souls and 999 turtle souls.

Some guardians say that in ancient times, people used to bribe the sacrifice to the hell gatekeeper and request for a person's soul out of hell. Most of them died because they couldn't meet all the requirements to summon a gatekeeper, so they took their life as a part of the sacrifice.

"But it doesn't make any sense. The same ritual served two different purposes, it's kind of confusing."

Anyway, I'm going to open this anyway. Who cares about the seal? I want the crest.

The lock was very simple, you put the guardian's mana inside the lock and wait for the approval. If you're worthy, the seal will open by itself in one minute. But if you're not worthy, the seal will never open.

Viktor didn't wish for any but his luck was good that day. The seal opened.

He glimpsed inside the box and saw two notebooks inside of it. It was old for sure but when he touched it, it felt like the warm pages just came out of the printer. "It smells good too. I wonder what is written inside."

Viktor opened the first page and what he saw was out of his imagination…

'Creation of time.' was written on its index.

"Creation of time? What the hell is that? ", he turned over the pages and suddenly, all the letters became blurry. They were being sucked inside Viktor's finger.

"Tsk! Not again!!!" But this time, he didn't faint or hurt his head. Instead, he was slowly getting some information inside his head. As he was analysing the newly obtained information inside his head, he touched another book which was inside the box too.

"This is hella VVIP secrets. If the one and only creator knows about this fact that they are in my position, the creator will chop my soul into millions of pieces."

Let's just hide them inside the vault of my library. I have a feeling that this crest will come in handy one day.

Viktor destroyed the box as soon as he took all the information and looked at the new crest on his chest. It was magically formed there when he took the dragon's fragment inside his body.

"A blue dragon guardian they say ha? I guess I am a dragon lord or something. I just hope I don't grow any tail like him. Or else, it will look so weird."

Viktor looked at the time and he was shocked to see it was midnight. "ADONISSSSSS!!!!!"

The door of his study room opened so loudly that it made Viktor freaked out.

"You called, master?", he asked politely.

"Ahem!! Prepare my bath. I am hungry too."

"Yes, master."

Was he standing by the door all this time? I screamed out his name for no reason -_-.

Viktor went outside his room and saw a group of people standing outside through his window. They were five people with five horses waiting for him to come out. "What are they doing here at this hour?" Viktor hushed out his voice and saw Adonis taking a turn at the end of the hallway.

"Master, I told those humans to come back tomorrow but they won't listen. They are asking for your presence because an unfortunate incident has occurred at the guild you are associated with."

"Looks like I have to sacrifice my sleep instead of 999 humans."

"Pardon?"

"Nothing. Let's go-_-."

I feel like something very bad is about to happen…
