Summary and Analysis of Literary Masterpieces.

Drake stood there like a statue with a big grin on his face. And Shirley, she was also smiling the whole way up to her flat. It turned out to be a great night. And that was the first of many.
The next few days passed away happily. Drake and Shirley texted, called even video called each other. During one of that video calls, Shirley disclosed that she met her grandpa. She told him the back story and how she felt about it. Drake listened patiently although at some points he was boiling inside at how her father was treated, his face showed no outrage, understanding only.
Shirley has also talked with Sam. The very same evening after waking up she has driven to her friend's house and told her everything. Sam helped her and gave a new perspective on some matters. Because when she has woken up a part of her was so angry at her grandpa that she has decided to never go back despite her promise.
Aunty helped her calm down and they had a very long discussion. That night she stayed with them. She has already brought over clothes and some necessities that she would need in the morning like the urgent documents. She fell asleep in her aunt's lap while listening to one of her retelling of their childhood adventures.
It was Saturday evening and Shirley was all set. Grandpa would be arriving shortly and she has her bag ready. She was a little nervous as to what would happen. It was only natural, her heartbeat speeds up when she heard the doorbell. She quickly opened the door and as expected Grandpa was there with a big smile on his face.
During their journey, initially, the car was filled with silence and Shirley felt suffocated. Patrick sensed her discomfort and started asking her questions about her work. With her mind distracted Shirley calmed down and even started asking questions of her own. She was curious about her newfound family members.
Grandpa told her in detail.
David was his son who looked after his business, he might be a bit difficult to win over as her father and David had their differences. It was because he had him with Zara his first wife. She died when David was only six. David never seems to approve of his second marriage with Isabel.
Isabel loves him and treats him equally as Dean but David never actually warmed up to her either. David is married to Ellenor. She is a sweet one. She balances him. How in god's name she fell for David was really beyond him. But he was happy that both of his sons got to marry the love of their life just like him.
David and Ellenor have three kids Jackson and Justin are twins and Lily is the youngest. Jackson, he is the eldest and quite an introvert. He never gave a hard time to Ellenor, always the obedient one. He got married three years back and last year he became the proud father of a baby girl.
He has changed a lot since then. Daughters do that to fathers, make them open up. Jackson smiles often now. His marriage was arranged one. His wife Audrey is full of energy. Justin is an artist, he paints. He has also opened his own art gallery. He has not found his soul mate yet. He is searching for her. Justin is also a prankster and he gets along with Lily very well. Both of them are thick as thieves. 
This information surprised Shirley very much.
'I know what you are thinking, after your father left, I changed too. When Justin showed his love for paintings and David said no, I supported him. I could not change back past but the present was his to mold and he adapted.'
'What about cousin Lily? And grandma?' Shirley asked.
'Lily, she is a professor. She teaches literature. And she loves her uncle's works. We often have discussions over that. And as for your Grandma, I do not have enough words to describe her. You will learn about her when you meet her.'
This news also surprised her. She never thought that her grandpa would read her father's work. She was looking forward to meeting them.
After fifteen minutes they entered the villa. Grandpa has told her that all of them live here. Although Justin has his bachelor pad. But when it was told that Shirley was coming and staying here for the night he also came back.
He wanted to meet his cousin.
It really was a full house. As soon as she saw the main door she spotted them. They were standing there outside waiting for her. This somehow warmed her insides. Never has she thought that she would feel like this. One of the twins rushed ahead and opened the car door as it stopped moving.
She assumed by the mischievous smile that he must be Justin.
She got out and was engulfed in solid arms. He faintly smelled of oil paints. Shirley relaxed. This smell was familiar to her. Her brother, Dennis also liked to paint. Her eyes got misty and she hoped that these tears won't fall.
It might ruin the lovely atmosphere.
She was then passed into many arms like a toy. One by one she was hugged almost by everyone and finally the last one, her grandma. That felt warmest. After the hugging session, they were chased into the house by none other than Grandpa.
Lily showed her room and along the way she told her many things. Shirley was reminded of her friend Sam. She was one chatterbox. Shirley wondered how her friend was doing. It has been some time and she has not called her. Shirley decided to change that but tomorrow when she leaves here.
'So this is your room. Did you like it? I did not know what color you would like so I decided on light violet. It has a slight resemblance to your eyes. Grandpa told me so I thought that you might like it. So I went with it. Everything here is personally selected by me. I have always wanted a sister but I got not one but two elder brothers who like to torment me. But now that I have you, and the scale is even we can overpower them.' Lily stopped and then turned to look at Shirley with wide brown eyes that oozed excitement.
Shirley was sure that her eyes held magical powers as she was already convinced by them. They seemed hypnotic.
'Okay okay. We will have our revenge.' Shirley said and then raised her fist in the air as if declaring war. Both of them laughed at that.
Shirley was pampered a lot, that was given. She basked in the love that everyone showered over her. Her Grandma baked lots of goodies for her. Shirley loved them all but her favorite was Lemon pie. She also got to see the picture albums. Naked Jackson running after an equally naked Justin gathered lots of laughter from her.
She was surprised to see that in childhood the roles were reversed. She saw many such naughty pictures of her cousins and made new memories. She bonded well with everyone. Shirley looked at the people standing together waving at her. She was feeling melancholic. She glanced at her uncle David and was surprised to see that he still carried the diary. He was not smiling at her but she could see the warmth in his old eyes.
This really was a huge development. She smiled and waved her hand for the last time. Then she drew herself back into the car and no longer looked back. Her time to go back came too soon to her. She did not want to leave. But she has to so with a promise to come and visit every Saturday and Sunday she left with lots of return gifts.
This time she was alone in the car. She has asked for that. She needed time to look over things that she experienced there and she did not want them to see her crying.
She recalled everything from the first stiff encounter with her uncle to an awkward one with cousin Jackson. But in the end, everything turned out well. She even bonded with Jackson. They shared a mutual love for computers. He had a degree in software engineering and loved to dabble in the world of codes. This made their bond stronger.
After getting to her apartment and having a shower Shirley looked at the gifts that everyone gave her. She was excited and opened them one by one.
A picture album from Grandpa and Grandma, her aunt gave her a beautiful necklace, Jackson gave her a pen drive, Aurdey's gift was a beautiful scarf. She was a fashion designer. Shirley thought that Sara and Audrey would get along very well.
They need to have a girl's day out soon.
Lily gave her a photo frame and surprisingly it also had a picture. It was a selfie they clicked. She wanted to have one with her cousins. How did she get it framed so fast? Shirley had no idea.
Lastly, it was turn for Justin's gift. There was no surprise there given the size of his gift. She has already guessed it. Most likely it is a portrait. Nonetheless, she was excited to see it. Justin has only shown her some pictures of his work and then given her the address of his art gallery.
She has promised to come and see it when she has time. When Shirley finally unwrapped it she was astonished. She was correct to think that it was a portrait. But what surprised her is the content.
It was a family portrait, her family to be precise. He has painted family of four and it looked so lively. Tears of joy welled up in her eyes and slowly they started to fall. Shirley quickly put away the painting fearing if it got destroyed by her stupid tears.
She got up and started looking for something.
Finally she found it, taking the nail and hammer she got to work. It was not new for her so she was done in no time. She hung the painting in her room and then stepped back to admire it. She took out her phone and then clicked a picture of it then sent it to Justin with a short text and heart emoji.
She was happy and grateful. She thanked God for giving her this opportunity to reconnect with her family she thought she never had.
It really was a blessing. 


Shirley was in a dilemma, she has two options, first, to trust her gut feelings or second, to wait it out.

Her instincts have never betrayed her but if she followed them this time, she was sure of her defeat. She can’t live in doubt. That is not how she lives her life. She gives her all or nothing. She has given her everything to this relationship. She has turned her back on rumors. And now, all of it has come to this point. It's now or never, she has never regretted a single thing in her life and she sure not was starting with this. So she took a deep breath and took the plunge.

Aaron was drowning in a sea of despair. He had declared her guilty in his own warped sense of justice by jumping to the conclusion. What he had thought of her betrayal turned out to be his misunderstanding. But what could be done now? She was gone, left without a trace.

How could he ever ask for forgiveness, nonetheless, a second chance when she is not here? Even if she was here does he deserve her forgiveness?

In the end, it was he who had abandoned her without giving it a second thought.

What will happen when destiny gives him a second chance? Will he be able to grasp it with both hands or let it slip like sand between his clenched fists?

Or there will be someone else who would whisk her away?

South of the Alzar Kingdom mainland was the Teria Sea. Home to countless islands, it was a captivating sight to behold at any time of the year. Yet, it was also home to one of the most tragic conflicts in the Second Great Kingdom War: the Teria Sea Campaign. That campaign had ravaged the entire southern border of the kingdom for many years. Even after the war ended, the refugee crisis caused by it had not settled and that was putting aside the Invasion of Aereon or the Battle of the Millennium which followed shortly… It sufficed to say that the Teria Sea was one of the central battlefields of the war!
On Lour Island, atop of a large hill, was a single lonely tree. It was bare, swept clean from the winter, but fresh buds were growing on the branches. Shirley was knelt and had her eyes closed in a prayer before her father's gravestone. Shirley's mind was calm as memories of the past flowed into her head. Her mother, her father, her childhood… Each was lost, gone with the ashes of war. Her once happy family was shattered like that. However, it was not all bad. Her two brothers were still alive and well. She met Elizabeth, Benedict, and Freon. Life was moving on.
"Father, I hope you're well," she whispered. "I know that it hasn't been long since I came to visit, but I can't help but think you're lonely here." 
The wind rustled the branches as if replying to her. Shirley smiled and opened her eyes. Beside her was her two younger brothers: Charles and Robert. The older Charles had a slightly muscular build, forged from the years of working in the family business. The younger Robert was skinny but possessed a sharp mind. Both sported the same brown hair as their sister without the additional glamor that a girl would have. Right now, the two boys were still in prayer. Shirley felt grateful for them. If her brothers had died as well, she might have taken her own life too. In a way, they saved her.
Gradually, the two opened their foggy red eyes. Shirley hugged the two and together they descended back to town. Their town, Tino, was the largest settlement on the island with a mere several thousand inhabitants. The only reason people bothered with this island was its rich abundance of metals. Many miners had struck a fortune by mining here. That was why the island was owned by the Star Household, a Grand Nobility Household, which also attracted its fair bit of trouble during the war. 
However, that was long ago. Now, most of the mines had dried up. The war had made it worse, leaving the town as a shell of its former glory. Hundreds of families fled and many of the houses remained as ruins. Those that stayed had crudely patched up their homes with scrap wood or metal. People were barely living through the next day. Miserable and tormented, their mood had permanently transformed the atmosphere into one of dread and desolation. Just seeing the town from afar was enough to send Shirley's mood into melancholy.
She scowled further walking through the town as the townspeople shot her hostile gazes. That was no surprise. Her memorable return months ago on the Alzar Kingdom's crown flagship Excellica had showcased her closeness with the Royal Family! These poor people were simple folk. Whether it was the Alzar Kingdom or the Xingyuu Empire that ruled them, they did not care. If their lives were the same, then why care who wore the crown? But not everyone thought the same way which led to the tragic invasion years prior. Furthermore, the Alzar Kingdom and the Star Household had not bothered with this place! They were completely abandoned… So, obviously, their frustrations would turn into hatred for the Alzar Kingdom, especially the Royal Family!
Shirley inwardly thought that if funds were no issue and her mother was healthy again, they should move. The Zino Kingdom was a good alternative since it was nearby. Speaking of the Zino Kingdom, her mind fell onto Freon and her friends. She wanted to send a few letters out, but it was unfeasible. Ships rarely came to Tino and when they did, they were disinterested in couriering her letters. In fact, she had yet to learn about Elizabeth's one-year deadline since it was announced months ago in Algard… Thinking along those lines, she fancied the idea of popping in and saying hello to Freon. Of course, that was just a passing thought. Travel was not only expensive, but time-consuming. Without a good reason, she pushed that thought away.
"What are you thinking about?" Robert wondered.
"Hmm?" Shirley mumbled. "I was thinking about moving in the future. What do you think?"
"Moving? You mean to the Zino Kingdom? Aren't you worried about you know… Magic and all?"
"Charles, it's wrong to think like that," she said. "There are good and bad Arcanists, just like how there are good and bad people."
"I know but…" he replied wryly.
"When do you plan on moving?" Robert asked.
Shirley patted her little brother's head. "At least, not until mother gets healthy. I'm not sure how she would fare with the voyage."
"Have you thought about money? We'll need money if we're going to move," Charles frowned.
"Well… The family business…"
"You're planning on selling the shop?" Charles was stunned. "You're joking, right?"
Shirley smiled bitterly. "We don't have any business. No one wants to buy our wares anymore and worst of all, our father…"
Back when the mines were roaring, their father had moved here with their mother to start a blacksmithing business. Through refining and forging the raw metals, their business was exceptionally popular. Hardly a day went by without customers rushing in to request jobs. Thanks to that, they were able to accrue a decent wealth and buy a house next door. But nothing lasted forever. With the mines drying up and the invasion, their business essentially reduced to zero. And that was before considering that their father, the only blacksmith, had died…
"I'm just speaking the truth. When was the last time we had a customer?" Shirley sighed.
"It'll get better when I learn to become a blacksmith!" Charles shouted.
"Without the mines, who's going to bother?"
"There'll be new mines! We haven't dug through everything yet!"
"We have to face reality. We can't keep living like this…" Shirley also felt sad.
"I don't want to hear it!" Charles stormed off.
"I don't want to do it either…" she whispered. "What do you think, Robert?"
"If you think it's best, then I'll listen to you," he said.
Shirley laughed. "You're much more mature than your older brother."
The two returned home in light spirits just in time to see their neighbour, Inari Riverend. He was a suave-looking man with a clean beard. His clothes were always sharp, and his expressions were friendly. Despite that, he was unmarried without a family. Furthermore, Shirley had the strange feeling that he was hiding something, but she had no idea what it was. At the very least, it was nothing against her family. The man was an old friend of their father who moved in shortly after the invasion. He wanted to help the family in their time of need.
"What's the matter?" Shirley asked.
"It's nothing. I was thinking about heading to the Zino Kingdom for business," Inari replied while hiding away a piece of paper. His actions were so smooth that the two siblings noticed nothing. "How was Wilford?"
"Same as usual," she replied. "I think he might be a bit lonely up there. You should visit him too."
"I will. I will," he said with a smile.
"You said you were headed to the Zino Kingdom?" Shirley picked up.
"Why? Are you interested?"
"Maybe," she said, thinking if she should visit Freon.
"I shouldn't be gone for more than two weeks. If you want to come along, then you're free to. I can pay for your portion of the fare too," Inari purposed.
"I'd have to think about it more…"
"Don't take too long. The ship is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. The next ship will be in two weeks time."
"I'll keep it in mind," Shirley said as she turned around to face Inari. However, to her surprise, the man had vanished into thin air. She scratched her head in confusion.

The next day Selina and Alexa wake up and prepare for their lessons today. Today according to the schedule they received yesterday, they have Physical Exercise, Herbology, and Beastology.
"Lina, are those clothes also products from Blooming Moon?" Alexa asked while pointing at the clothes Selina was wearing.
Currently, Selina is wearing a light blue long sleeves shirt as a top, and black training pants.
Selina shook her head and answered Alexa's question, "Although they are made by my mother, they aren't Blooming Moon product. These long sleeves shirt and training pants are made by my mother at my request."
"Why did you ask to be made clothes like that?" Alexa asked confused.
"Because it's more comfortable to exercise using this shirt when compared to the bloomer dress."
"Can I order clothes similar to yours? Ah, but I want the top to be pink in color," asked Alexa with hope.
"Of course you can, as long as you're not ashamed of being watched by people for wearing clothes that are different from those used by noble daughters."
"Don't worry. Confidence is one of my best values!"
"Eeengh... Why are you two so noisy in this early morning?" Emily asked, rolling her eyes.
Emma who also woke up from her sleep then changed her position to sit on her bed.
"Ah... sorry we have Physical Exercise for the first lesson today so we have to get up early. Sorry if we disturb your sleep," Selina said apologetically.
"No problem. Soon we also have to get up and get ready for class today," Emma said with a smile.
"Why are you wearing that instead of bloomer dress, Lina?" Emily asked.
"That is her Physical Exercise outfit. Lina asked her mother's help for those to be made. It's a pity that these two products are not yet included in products that can be purchased at Blooming Moon," Alexa answered Emily's question.
"It looks like we will be more flexible to move if we use the clothes when compared to the bloomer dress," Emma gave her opinion.
"Exactly! Therefore I want Lina to ask her mother to make a set for me."
"I also want to. Can we order it too, Lina?" Emily asked.
"Of course, you can. What color do you want for the shirt? Unfortunately for our training pants, we have not found the right coloring agent to color the material besides black."
"I want orange," Emily exclaimed.
"Then I want a light green color," Emma said after Emily.
"OK. I will tell my mother by letter. Later after she agrees, you can come to the Blooming Moon shop to measure the size of the T-shirt and training pants, then take your order from there." Selina told them.
"All right," said Alexa, followed by a nod from Emma and Emily.

"Good morning," greeting Selina and Alexa together to the male members of Class 1 that also responded by them with 'good morning'.
"What are you wearing, Selina? Looks like it's not a bloomer dress," Christian asked confused.
"This is made by my mother. This is specifically made so that I am more flexible in moving while exercising."
"Hmm, yes it seems lighter than the bloomer dress worn by Alexa," exclaimed Daniel.
Selina and Alexa nodded their heads in agreement with Daniel's words. Not long after, Teacher Ava Parker or just Teacher Ava came to teach them in today's Physical Exercise lesson. Teacher Ava has taught them since they are in the first year.
"Good morning, students! For the first Physical Exercise lesson for this year, I want you to run around the field twice."
"Good morning, Teacher Ava!"
They began to run around the field. After they managed to run around the field twice, they stopped at the place they started earlier.
"Hosh... Hosh... Hosh..." Alexa was out of breath.
"Are you okay, Alex?" Selina asked worriedly, stroking Alexa's back.
"Hosh... I'm o... kay... Hosh... Just out of breath... This bloomer dress is very heavy."
"Hmm... Selina, what clothes are you wearing now? Can you buy them at Blooming Moon?" Asked Teacher Ava who approached them.
"Right now it's still not, Teacher Ava. But if there are many orders, it seems like my mom will immediately add them to the list of products that can be ordered," Selina answered.
"Then please ask your mother. I want all the female students at Seraphium Royal Academy to wear clothes like yours in Physical Exercise."
"Yes, Teacher Ava."

The next lesson is Herbology. After bathing and changing clothes, Class 1 members gather again at the greenhouse. Inside the greenhouse, there is Teacher Charles Dubois who teaches Herbology.
"Good afternoon children," said Teacher Charles.
"Good afternoon, Teacher Charles," greeted all Class 1 members.
"Today we will learn about díktamo. Díktamo is a magical plant used in making elixir. It is a powerful healing herb and restorative. Its use makes fresh skin grow over a wound and after application, the wound seems several days old. Díktamo has dark green stems and leaves. This plant is also often called a burning bush. The first person who can find this plant in this greenhouse will get díktamo elixir which can heal wounds and remove scars. 1... 2... 3... The search begins! "
All Class 1 members immediately occupied themselves in searching for the díktamo plant.
"Lina, do you know what the díktamo plant looks like besides what Teacher Charles explained?" Alexa asked.
"As far as I know díktamo has white, woolly, weak stems, thick leaves, and pinkish flower clusters," Selina answered.
"Hmm… It's hard," Alexa complained.
Selina just nodded her head in agreement.
Before five minutes had passed, Jackson exclaimed happily and said that he had found díktamo to Teacher Charles.
"Teacher Charles, I found the díktamo you asked me to!"
"Where? Ah... unfortunately this is not the plant that I asked for. Please try again Jackson." Teacher Charles patted Jackson's shoulder lightly.
"Huff... even though I thought I have found it."
After seeing Jackson, who apparently failed to find díktamo, Selina returned to look for the plant in the greenhouse. She continued to walk around looking at plants that resembled the description of díktamo in the book she was reading. Shortly after, near the back corner of the greenhouse, Selina saw a plant that matched the descriptions in the book she was reading.
Selina immediately ran and was about to touch the plant. However, there is another hand that also grabs the same plant from the opposite direction from Selina.
"Huh?" Selina raised her head to see who her competitor was.
"Hua?"
"Rosenfeld?" cried Arthur and Selina together.
"Remove your hands from this díktamo. I touched it first," Arthur said.
"Who said you touched it first? We touch it simultaneously," Selina responded back.
"Then I am the one who sees it first."
"Why is that so? Then I am the one who sees it before you."
"You can only follow my words, huh? What a pity," Arthur said with his trademark grin.
"Who follows your words? It's obvious that I saw it first," Selina dismissed Arthur's words.
Teacher Charles approached the two of them.
"Hmm... It turns out you two managed to find the plant that I asked for. So who is the first person that discovered this díktamo?" Asked Teacher Charles.
"Me!"
"Me!" Arthur and Selina said together.
"I am the first one who finds this plant!"
"No, I am." Selina and Arthur continue to clash with each other.
"They both started the debate again," said Alexa seeing the same thing happen again.
"En. They are never stopped fighting with each other," Daniel said from behind Alexa.
"Daniel?"
"Yes?"
"Why is Arthur always looking for trouble with Selina? As far as I am concerned, if something like this happens with other students Arthur will let them go without as much as a debate," Alexa asked Daniel.
"I also do not know. I asked Arthur once and Arthur said he was happy to see Selina's angry face," Daniel answered.
"Do you think the real reason Arthur always provokes Selina is that he likes Selina and wants to get attention from her?" Alexa told Daniel her hypothesis.
"It is such a coincidence. I also think the same thing." Daniel nodded his head
"What about Selina herself?" Daniel asked Alexa.
"Selina doesn't seem to realize that she's interested in Arthur yet," Alexa answered.
"The road between the two of them is still very long."
"Yeah... I hope the two of them can be together later."
"I hope so too."
.
.
.
.
.
-Back to Arthur and Selina's side-
"How about this, since you two found it together then you two will be given each a bottle of díktamo elixir each?" Asked Teacher Charles to Arthur and Selina.
"...All right," Arthur and Selina answered simultaneously, which ended with them glaring at each other.
"Just this time, Rosenfeld!" said Selina sarcastically to Arthur.
"Huh? That should be my word, Hua," Arthur said, supporting his head with his right palm.

Selina is one of those lucky people who was reincarnated to an Otome game world after being killed by Lord Truck. After memories of her previous life resurface when she was four years old, Selina has an ambition. An ambition to become the best alchemist in the entire continent or maybe in the world slash official at Union Guild. 

But how come I, Selina that never made enemies out of someone suddenly become a target of hatred by dozens of grandmamas who should just stay at home, mothers who should take care of their children, young ladies that already have fiances, teenagers that should have been studying for their professional exam, and toddlers that I don't know since when one of them is clinging to my legs. Why this is happening? 

"Lina just gives up will you?" 

"So this is your fault, you womanizer!!!"

Avery cries until her eyes burn, and her throat aches. Her entire body feels heavy and broken, but she slowly climbs to her feet. She smooths the quilt over Charles and gently squeezes his cold hand. She blinks, and for a moment, his face transforms: it's warm and full of life again, and he smiles his soft smile. Then she wipes her eyes and sees him pale and thin and half-dead.
"Will he stay here until—until," Avery can't finish the question.
"Until he dies?" Andrew asks. "No, the Meyer family will pick him up and move him to one of their own care facilities."
"Good—his own family, should take care of him," Avery says. "When are they coming for him?"
"Soon," Andrew replies.
Avery nods. She wants Charles to be cared for by people who love him, but she's scared of the consequences. The Meyer family will surely find out what happened to Charles and who did it. They don't have the power to fight the Howel's, but Charles' godfather, Mr. Oliver, is another story.
She bites her lip and rubbed her temples. Evan deserves to suffer for what he did to Charles, she thinks. It makes me sick to my stomach that he did this. But at the same time, I can't bear to see anything happen to Evan. What's wrong with me?
High-heeled shoes click down the hallway, and Avery looks nervously toward the door. Charles' mother rushes in, looking tired but elegant. Her hair is twisted into an elegant bun, and she's wearing a neat gray suit. Avery steps away from the bed, but Mrs. Meyer doesn't seem to see her.
"Charles?" Mrs. Meyer asks shakily, grabbing his hand.
Her voice is quivering, and there are dark circles beneath her wet eyes. Suddenly, she lifts her head and sees Avery. Her expression turns fierce and cold.
"What are you still doing here?" she asks. "Haven't you already hurt Charles enough?"
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Meyer," Avery whispers. "I shouldn't be here."
"I don't give a damn about the broken ring," Mrs. Meyer snaps, "At the end of the day, it's just a stone, and I was willing to overlook it because I know how deeply my son loves you. But now you've gone and broken him, and I will never be able to forgive that."
"I'm sorry," Avery whispers again, wishing the words could explain just how awful she feels.
"Your apologies won't bring my son back to me," Mrs. Meyer shouts. "Get out of here! I don't ever want to see you again!"
"You'd better be polite, Mrs. Meyer," Andrew says. "Avery only just learned about Charles now."
"Mr. Clifford, I don't know how or why you're involved with Charles, and I don't even want to imagine what you're doing here with Avery," Mrs. Meyer says. "But I think you need to start minding your own business." Mrs. Meyer turns toward the door and shouts, "Jackson, come get them out of here!"
"Let's go," Andrew says, putting his palm on Avery's lower back.
For once, Avery doesn't resist his touch. She's exhausted and weak, and she doesn't want to deal with Jackson. As she crosses out of the room, she took one last look at Charles, wondering if this will be the last time she ever sees him. Outside of the nursing home, the rain falls down in sheets. Andrew quickly opens an umbrella and holds it protectively over her.
"I know it's pointless to ask, but is there any way you'd give Charles his heart back?" Avery asks.
Andrew sighs deeply, and Avery sees his knuckles whitened on the umbrella's handle. Avery listens to the rain beating down violently on the umbrella and tries to avoid the deepest puddles as they walk to the car.
Finally, Andrew asks, "You want me to give the heart back to Charles?"
"Well, it belongs to him," Avery says.
"What about me?" Andrew asks. "Don't you care about what will happen to me?"
Avery wants to slap him. His selfishness makes her feel sick. He genuinely doesn't care that he's killing Charles, Avery thinks. He just wants to continue to live his playboy life—hurting whoever gets in his way. She bites her tongue to keep herself from yelling at him.
"I want you to marry me," Andrew suddenly says.
Avery stares at him in disbelief.
"If you marry me, I'll let Charles have the heart back in a year," Andrew says.
"You're joking," Avery says. "There's no way you'd risk your life just to spend a year with me. Andrew, I know you're scum, but that's a sick trick, even for you."
"I'll give you time to think about it," Andrew says quietly. "Let me know when you've made up your mind."
Evan looks around the aircraft cabin in confusion. He can't remember how he got there, but his entire body aches and something prickles and itches his left arm. He tilts his head to the side and looks for Robert. Instead, he sees an IV wire trailing up from his arm to a plastic bag above his head.
His throat aches, but he shouts, "Robert! What's going on?"
"How much do you remember, sir?" Robert asks.
"Nothing," Evan groans. "I mean, I remember that grandfather locked me in the walk-in freezer, but I don't remember how I got out. And I have no idea where we are."
"Well, sir, your grandfather finally agreed to let you out, but he made you agree to his conditions first," Robert says. "You really don't remember?"
Evan shakes his head, and the movement sets off sparks of pain behind his eyes. He closes his eyes and waits for Robert to continue talking. Robert's silence seems to last an eternity. Evan opens his eyes and glares at the butler.
"You were half-frozen by the time we got you out," Robert says. "The doctor was worried you'd lose some fingers and toes, but he managed to save them. You're very sick, though. We were flying you back to the house, but we were forced to land because of the storm."
"What time is it?" Evan asks. "I have to meet Avery."
Robert clears his throat nervously, "About that—"
"Am I late?" Evan asks. "Quick call her and tell her I'm on my way."
"Sir, your grandfather took our cellphones, and he didn't give them back when we left," Robert says.
"Are you telling me there's no way to get a message out from this jet?" Evan asks.
Robert's face turns red, and he says, "Well, I suppose we could try to radio the manor."
"Do it," Evan says before sinking into a fitful, feverish sleep.
He feels someone tapping on his arm, and he slowly opened his eyes. Robert is leaning over him with a worried expression on his face.
"It seems that Mrs. Howel is away from the manor right now," Robert says, looking down at the floor. "She was seen getting into Mr. Clifford's car, and she hasn't come back since then."
Evan grabs the washcloth from his forehead and throws it across the room. He tries to sit up, but his entire body feels like it's made of lead. He can't even get his shoulders off the emergency bed. He tries until he's sweaty and gasping for breath. Then he squints at a clock on the wall of the cabin, but the numbers blur and flicker.
"What time is it?" Evan asks. "I have to meet Avery—help me change my clothes."
"Hold him down," Robert says to a bodyguard. "He's a danger to himself." 
"Get out of my way!" Evan growls.
"Mr. Howel, it's only three o'clock in the afternoon," Robert says. "It's still early."
Evan blinks in confusion. That doesn't make any sense, he thinks. I feel like I've been asleep for ages.
"But—" he begins.
"Sir, you have a severe fever, and you're on an IV," Robert says. "You can't go out right now—it's too dangerous."
"Are you sure it's only 3 o'clock?" Evan asks.
He sees Robert quickly glance at the bodyguards. The men nodded slowly in agreement.
"Yes, Mr. Howel, it's only 3 o'clock in the afternoon," Robert says again.
"But it's dark outside?" Evan says, squinting at the windows. "How can it be 3 o'clock if it's dark out?" 


WARNING! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
The story CONTAINS harsh words that are not suitable for young readers. There are several twists and mysteries inside this novel. The plot is not a typical contemporary-romance alone but an action-filled series fueled by revenge! 


Since childhood, she was trained to be a perfect wife to the Billionaire heir, Evan Howel. She loved him and adored this man. People around them often said she's his dog and no matter how she's badly treated by him in the past years of being married, she would keep coming back to him meekly. She tried to seduce him several times but she failed to sleep with him and being kicked out of his bed.
Someone had plotted to kill her by pushing her into the water that almost took her life. When she woke up, she became a different woman he used to know. She sneered and gave her husband a divorce agreement. 

Evan Howel offered five billion for their 3 years of marriage as compensation. She felt disgusted and declined his generosity. He began to think about why she changes into a strong woman and dare to provoke him. 

He realized that he can't let go of his beautiful wife who suffered so much for how many years. He wanted her to stay and he played a sex videotape of them in a silent mode before whispering into her ear: "If you don't tear up the divorce paper, I will unmute this video and let the whole world know about it!". She was shocked to see the video of their intimate moments that happened because of the drug given to them. 

She's ready to leave him but her devil husband won't let her go. Would she change her mind after what he had done to her? Would she give up herself again out of love? Could she win over the struggle and conspiracy plotted by Evan's grandfather?

Special Note: If you are looking for a sweet contemporary-romance genre, this novel doesn't have that kind of plot. Most plots of my novel talk about mystery, suspense, and a slice of life. Often FL starts a slow pace of development, from weak to strong.

"So in summary, she gifted the spatial rings to us, took care of Clara during the Immortal Trial, completed the King Grade Trial, and at the same time declared that she will marry only me?"
Davis had his hands on his chin, and even more confused expression appeared on his face, "I can understand the former part, but for the latter, you're kidding right?"
Evelynn shook her head, "The latter part is true. I just heard it from Clara a few minutes before I saw you... That's why I was afraid... afraid that you might abandon me..."
"I would never!!!" Davis shouted back at her.
Looking at Evelynn's stunned expression, he felt instantly felt embarrassed and forcefully added, "Of course, if you betrayed me for another man, I would rather kill you!"
Saying so, he avoided her stunned gaze, "It goes both ways..."
Evelynn suddenly smiled as she laughed like she heard nothing serious.
"Hmm? You're not angry?" Davis carefully asked, not understanding why she laughed.
After he said that about killing her, he instantly started to regret it. Would she hate him now? He felt anxious.
Evelynn stopped laughing but her smile was still there, "What's there to be angry about stating the obvious?"
Davis's brain stopped working for a moment.
Obvious? Was it obvious?
'Oh, yes this is a world ruled by strength, killing for betrayal is prevalent...' Davis belatedly realized.
He was too worried to notice this obvious fact.
"Isn't it? I've heard plenty of woman being killed because they had illicit relationships, is it not true?" Evelynn asked with a curious expression on her face.
"Ahh... leave it." Davis brushed off this topic. He wasn't interested in discussing this in detail.
Instead, he said, "I just wanted you to know that I'm incredibly selfish, and what's mine is mine, you get it?"
"I am not a saint, and I'll probably go to any lengths to obtain something I need, will you still marry me?"
But he didn't let her answer, "No, you're too far into this, I won't let you leave even if you want out!" 
Saying so he disappeared from the room, leaving a stunned Evelynn looking around for him frantically.
After a minute, seeing that he wasn't here anymore, she whispered to herself, "So possessive..."
But the smile on her lips said that she didn't dislike this feeling one bit.
======
Davis appeared somewhere in the skies above the Royal Castle. In a fit of embarrassment and confusion, he hurriedly left her side and arrived here.
Breathing the fresh air filled with heaven and earth energy, he finally calmed down and felt that he did something stupid.
He felt like a child throwing a tantrum, like a child who was going to have its toy taken away.
"Fuck! I should have kept my mouth shut!" Davis cursed himself.
He couldn't help but directed his anger at the source, "Shirley this! Shirley that! Damn it!"
"What is her problem?! I just kissed her for treatment! Treatment! Ever heard of CPR, you damn imbeciles!" Davis shouted in the air, yet no one heard him because he was high above.
He knew he was shouting to himself, but it was just that, he didn't understand why Shirley would be so fixated on him.
But on second thought, as he calmed down, he felt that he could understand her if he were to think from her perspective.
Maybe because she only sought a single man in her life to be her partner, and his kiss had inadvertently forced her to not look at another man in a romantic way.
He sighed, thinking that he made the wrong choice at that moment of treatment.
A kiss was a kiss and there was no changing that fact whether if it was used for a treatment or not. Things simply couldn't be seen in a medical way in this cultivation world.
If someone asked whether if he held affection for Shirley or not, he would say that he did not but he did have complicated feelings in his heart.
It was impossible for him to not hold any kind of feelings for that beautiful woman.
Sure, it was because of Evelynn that he didn't dare to hold feelings for her.
He wasn't particularly concerned about being monogamous in a sense but only felt that it would be better that way.
The moment he had confirmed his fondness for Evelynn, he had even annulled the marriage between him and Shirley at the Grand Sea Continent Meet because the former seemed ill at ease to be in a lower status than another woman while the latter felt that being married to a person who had two more love rivals wasn't worth it.
If Evelynn didn't exist or their fondness for each other hadn't sprouted, then one way or another, he felt that he would've ended up with Shirley.
Likely, Shirley also thought that way and that maybe was the cause for her obsessive behavior.
But that was a case of 'what if?' and there's no 'what if?' in this world or any world to say.
He chose Evelynn and that's irrevocable.
Somehow, other than being in love with Evelynn, a new type of emotion had surfaced in his heart. Thinking about it, he realized it as possessiveness.
'Well well, is this the feeling where all husbands and boyfriends feel like when they're being ntr'ed?' Feeling that he became insecure, he mocked himself.
The moment he saw that Evelynn wasn't feeling well for some reason, looking at him as if she was guilty of something, he didn't feel good either. Stabbing pain filled his heart, waiting to tear him apart.
Except the reality was, the worst-case scenario he expected really didn't happen to him as he realized what she felt guilty about was the fact that she hid about Shirley, afraid that he would abandon her.
Ironically, he realized that they both had the same worries, except from a different perspective.
Looking down at the magnificent Royal Castle, he sighed.
He sensed his father in the Throne Hall, discussing with a few subjects while having a worried expression on his face.
Feeling curious, he moved.
*Whoosh!~*
In a few seconds, he appeared outside the Throne Hall and entered the huge open door.

Other than this, I'm planning for individual mass releases as well but don't rely on it.

I was stumped and lost for words when she asked me with that.

"Why me? There's Lelouch or Rivalz right?" Milly turned red for a bit before regaining her composure.

"Lelouch is for Shirley and Rivalz... nevermind." She said

'Ouch, that's harsh. I pray for the soul of Rivalz.' I thought

I hesitated at her favor.

"Milly, you do know that I'm engaged right?" I asked her and showed her my ring, though I'm engaged with many.

 Seeing the ring, Milly got sad but soon got over it as she said.

"Its just for appearance. Grandfather keeps on bothering me to bring a partner or they'll find a fiancee for me, also can you dance? It would be great if you do. Help me please." She said to me. 

Seeing her sincere expression, I nodded. She then called for a maid as she asked the maid for me to wear a formal suit as the maid helped me in changing.

When I came out wearing a formal suit, Milly was stunned when she saw me wearing a suit for the first time and can't help but blush. Clothes make the man, after all.

I immediately played my role as I invited Milly with my arm held towards Milly as she wrapped hers to my arm. We then walked to the hall and as the granddaughter of Principal Ashford, all eyes were on us. Milly looked at me if I am overwhelmed by it but seeing no changes on my face, she seemed to sigh in relief and I smiled at her and she did the same.

She then lead me towards the 2nd floor and stopped in front of an old man. Milly separated from me as she hugged her grandfather.

"Milly, it seems you've brought back a boyfriend. Care to introduce him for me?" He said as Milly blushed.

"Grandfather, his name is Vergil. Although we've just met for a few weeks, its love at first sight, I tell you." Milly said and as a grandfather, how could he not know what her granddaughter is planning but he decided to go along with him. He can also see that I am not a simple man at all with his experience and the aura that Vergil is emitting, I am not your average person.

"So, young man, care to tell me, how and why did you fall for my granddaughter?" He asked me with seriousness in his eyes, but why would I falter? I've faced a God, Stood in front of Ophis, beaten by my cheat of a father. A simple seriousness wouldn't move me like that.

"Well, Milly can be called a cat due to her curiosity and her playfulness, although her methods are somewhat... forceful, she still cares deeply for those around her." I said to him as he laughed lightly.

"You do know that we're a noble family right?" He asked me.

"So? You'd shun me to sell Milly to other nobles just to return to your former glory?" The atmosphere got tense as Milly was surprised and nervous at me answering towards his grandfather.

"I like you, young man. But the road will be tough, can you still hold on to Milly in her tough times?" He asked me.

I simply nodded. If I wanted to I could make them a duke by telling Charles about it, but why would I? I'm sure Lelouch would abolish aristocracy when he took over his father.

"Then can you and Milly have a kiss to seal the deal?" It stumped me and Milly, I never knew her grandfather would be this smart, what a schemer.

I was about to tell Milly to wait but Milly already smacked my lips.

"You do know that you can just kiss me on tje cheeks right?" I said to Milly as she saw her Grandfather's grin.

A smooth song then played out as I invited Milly to a dance as she held my hand and we went downstairs and had a blast. She never knew I would be that good in dancing. All eyes are staring towards us. Nina, Shirley, Lelouch, and Rivalz also saw us dance in the middle of the floor. When we finished, claps resounded on the hall as we bowed and took of the dance hall and went towards Lelouch and co.

"Whoa, I never knew you were so good in dancing." Shirley praised as she glanced towards Lelouch.

"Lelouch, aren't you going to invite Shirley?" Milly teased the two.

Lelouch gave up and asked Shirley to a dance and they took off. While we were chatting, someone interrupted us and asked for Milly's hand to dance. It is Gino Weiberg, a noble descent. Milly declined his invitation, but with Gino's friendly and positive attitude, he slung his arm over me.

"You really did a good job in dancing back there and I wanted to try and dance with Ms. Milly as well, unfortunately she declined. Haha, how lucky of you." He said as I smiled at him, soon Gino came and ask others to dance with him.

"Never knew you would decline him?" I said as I glanced at Milly. Her family wanted to regain their former glory and Gino who is an outstanding knight and a noble descent is perfect for it. For her to decline him, surprised me.

"What can I say? My partner is beside me, how could I accept other's invitation." She said in a playful voice.

I laughed at her and we talked about a lot of things, including my engagement. When she heard me that I'm engaged to many woman, her world seemed to stop before hope started shining in her eyes. With her unpredictable attitude, she immediately confessed to me which surprised me.

I told her to think about it first as it is her future but she retorted.

"When I first met you, I thought that you are just a typical transfer student. When I saw your application form, I saw that you are an MIT student and was intrigued about why an MIT student would come to our school. I then tried to use my families' connection to find out more about you, but there are so many things that just didn't add up and got more curious. And the more I knew about you, your personality, your attitude, how dedicated you are towards helping Student Council, that curiosity morphed into something more... deeper, and that's how I learned that I fell." She said as I laughed lightly.

"A woman's curiosity really is a bad sign huh?" I said as Milly pinched my waist.

"See? You're not even denying it." I said as we both laughed as the night quietly passed by.

-----------
Chapteeer.

Just to be clear 'kay? My version of CG is different. Waaaaay different. It will only involve Britannia, because there are entities that could wipe out Britannia.

As for Milly's engagement to Lloyd, I changed that to Nina Einstein because Milly's engagement to Lloyd was purely for the status. But if I paired up Lloyd and Nina, what they would create can work wonders.

Well, that's all. Good day/night.

A man gaining the inheritance of 3 amazing people through luck.

I do not own anything in my novel other than my OC's. Including the cover of this novel.

In the heart of downtown New York City, an iconic building stands tall in this bustling area, the Stoke Industrial Building, a two-story building. At this time, as the largest shareholder of Stoke Industry, and also the recent super hero Iron Man Tony Stark is standing on the platform outside the top.

The area outside the top floor of the Stark Industrial Building is enough to stop the helicopter. Tony is used as the location for the Iron Man to land, but today it will obviously receive some other guests.

"Jarvis, are they here?" Blowing the wind above the 100-meter high, Tony looked at the night scene in New York calmly.

"Mr., Mr. Night and Mr. Spider-Man have arrived. The Knights of the Night are still on the road, about a minute. As for Professor Charles, I don't know when they will arrive." After listening to Tony's inquiry, Jarvis answered directly. Road.

"Well, I saw the Night Devil." After Jarvis answered, Tony could already see a black figure on the flying skateboard that flew in the air in front of him.

"But, Peter's kid has arrived. He won't climb up from below?" After seeing the fast-closed Night Devil, Tony hadn't seen Spider-Man yet, so he asked strangely.

"Yes, sir, Spider-Man has climbed to the 198th floor, and you are only over forty meters away." Jarvis replied truthfully, hearing Tony's whimsical inquiry.

"Coughing ~" See Jarvis's serious answer, Tony couldn't help but cough twice.

brush!

Just as Tony was rushing up from the edge of the Stark Building because he learned that Peter was really climbing outside, it was Spider-Man Peter who climbed up from below. Because there are no other buildings that are almost tall next to the Stark Industrial Building, Peter has really climbed so many layers.

Call ~

Peter, who climbed to the top of the Stark Building, fell directly in front of Tony with a long jump. He pulled off the mask on his face and Peter looked at Tony with excitement.

"Mr. Stark, Jackson!!" After seeing Tony behind him, he didn't see Lin Rui's figure. Peter then asked nervously.

Seeing the excitement of Peter in front of him, when Tony was preparing to answer, a fast-moving figure also fell directly from the air to the platform, and the Night Devil had stepped on the flight skateboard. "Looking" to Spider-Man and Tony stood together, and the Night Devil jumped off the flight skateboard and walked quickly.

"Well, it seems that you all received my news. Actually, it was the news from Jarvis. Yes, the Phantom Knight is not dead, he is still alive, and he is now on his way back." After facing himself, Tony looked at the two people in front of him and said directly.

call!

"Really! I know he's fine!" Hearing Tony's personal statement that Lin Rui was fine, Peter's tight spirit relaxed.

"What about his current situation? Is it hurt? Is it serious?" Compared to Peter's excitement, the night demon obviously has to calm down and ask questions he is concerned about now.

"Well, some minor injuries, but not serious. We have been talking for a long time, the state of the Phantom Knight is still good." To hear the night demon, Tony nodded and replied.

"This is good!"

Hey~

Just after Tony and Peter and the Nightmare finished two sentences, there was a sudden wave of space on the platform in front of them. Jarvis also reacted in an instant, and some high-tech weapons quickly emerged from the platform and were already aligned with the space. Although the red dragonfly has been confirmed by Lin Rui, the Rubik's Cube has disappeared again, but Jarvis will not be assured of this spatial fluctuation.

brush!

Just as the sight of the three Tonys shifted to that direction, a space door just opened. Then, Iceman Bob pushed Professor Charles out of the space door, followed by flashing.

"Hello, Professor Charles, welcome you to Stark." Looking at the three men who came out of the space door, Tony stepped forward and said hello. While greeting the incoming X-Men, Tony had waved to Jarvis to put away the defenses.

"Hello, Mr. Stark, I am also very happy to meet you." Looking at Tony in front of him, Professor Charles responded calmly.

Bob, who was supposed to push Professor Charles, was also ready to greet Tony, but was attracted by a familiar figure behind Tony, a young man wearing a Spider-Man suit.

"That is..." After seeing Peter's young, excessive face, the Iceman was a little bit stunned for a moment. He didn't know if the high school student wearing the Spider-Man suit was Spider-Man.

call!

Standing behind Tony, Peter had not thought about it. When the ice man looked at himself, he suddenly reacted and quickly put his headgear on. However, at this time, Professor Charles and the flashes, including the Iceman, have already seen Peter's face.

"Haha, these two are?..." Tony apparently found out that Peter was seen by Charles, so he asked Haha to look at the ice man and the flashing opening.

"Hello, Mr. Stark, I am Bob, nickname Iceman, this is flashing." After the initial surprise, the Iceman has returned to normal, looking to Tony to answer his words.

"Iceman, flashing, is it you guys?" To hear the iceman's answer, Tony's eyes flashed, apparently knowing the two X-Men.

In fact, within the SHIELD, there is a file of identity information for the global variants, except those who have low levels of ability and no destructive power. www.mtlnovel.com~3rd and above variants of the gods The Shield will focus on the identification. Therefore, Tony also knows the information of many variants, among which the ice man and the flashing in the X-Men are the focus of attention.

The iceman's ability is frozen, although it is very strong, but Tony has not much interest, he is interested in the ability to flash the space door. If Tony can study the essence of scintillation, then it is a huge improvement for Earth technology. However, if Tony gets the Rubik's Cube, he can better study the high-level technology of space transfer. Tony, the energy of the Rubik's Cube that was previously obtained under the Hydra base, has been hidden and has not been formally studied.

"Mr. Stark, the Phantom Knight? You just sent a message saying that he is fine, is it true?" After the greeting, the Iceman asked Tony a little nervous.

"Reassure, the Phantom Knight is really fine, you will be able to see him later. Now, if you don't mind, you can wait a little while here, and there are others to come over." Tony answered the same question again. Then pointed to the back and said.

Jarvis just said that the night knight is still on the road, and it should be almost arrived now. Tony will leave the place to let him land.

"Oh! Ok." Hearing Tony's answer, the Iceman was relieved, and then pushed Professor Charles and the flashing light toward the back of Peter and the Nightmare.

Huh!

When Charles Three talents took a few steps, there was another burst of noise outside the top floor of the Stoke Industrial Building, and someone came. This time it was the night knight Harry, who also stepped on the flight skateboard.

At this point, the people who have come from the news that the Phantom Knight is still alive have all arrived, leaving only the protagonist they are waiting for this time.

After an accidental electric shock, Jackson traversed into a parallel world filled with supreme beings—beings whose might and strength could hold the skies on their shoulder.

At first, Jackson preconceived the idea that he’d only traversed on the other side of the world, the United States, until that is various peculiarities popped up.

While watching the news channel, Jackson wondered whose the big green guy jumping up and down the buildings of New York without care.

Who is that bodybuilder statue donned in a red-blue uniform standing tall and proud in the Memorial Hall?

And who is that man flying the skies with a big hammer calling himself a God?

Jackson wondered if he should advise his parents to move away from New York.

But after a moment of thought, Jackson pulled out his mobile phone and dialed a number. “Mr. Stark, for the safety of mankind, I think it’s necessary to discuss the developments of technology and advanced armors with you.”

This is the story of a young man living in the world of Marvel who only wished to live a quiet and stable life but as fate would have it, fate had other plans for him.

Avalon received a communication from the Mage Doctor whom Lacus recommended. It answered the call while one of the automatons it controls was still accomodating Yumi in the living room.
It simply multi-tasked and conversed with the Doctor.
"Hello? I already gave my number to you but I haven't been contacted at all. Are you really going to hire me? Oh, by the way, I'm the Doctor that passed your requirements..."
The old man sounds cheerful thinking that he will be speaking to the young boy with Mavis blood.
He decided to contact him first as he also wanted to finish the job as soon as possible to get the flower he wanted.
 Anyway, as long as he cooperated and did his best, even if he didn't complete the job, Lacus would still give him the flower. But he doesn't want that.
He wanted to earn that flower with his skills. It wouldn't feel good to him if he gets it even if he failed the job.
Though, he noticed the seriousness in Lacus' words before. It means that even with his reputation and knowledge that had almost reached the peak of the three paths of Mage Doctor someone was still thinking that he may fail.
It was an interesting challenge for him so he was now quite interested in this. 
"I apologize. Sir Wallace was still busy at the moment. But since you are already on the phone, I can just discuss the task with you."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. If you are worried about someone tapping on our conversation, you don't have to. I already checked the network and there shouldn't be a problem."
"No... Well, I want to discuss this job personally. I may not be satisfied just by hearing it over the phone."
If that's what it takes for the man to take the job, Avalon can only concede and let him visit here. 
"Alright, I've sent the address in your device. You can visit anytime."
The man also needed to know this address so Avalon just gave it. 
***
Yumi was surprised after hearing that another visitor was about to arrive at the young man's villa. She was even asked by the Artificial Intelligence or Avalon to receive him at the front gate. 
It seems that Avalon decided to get assistance with a real human since Wallace and the Mage Doctor weren't that close yet. The man might get too surprised or untrusting if he learned that he was only making a deal with an A.I.
In short, Avalon deemed that Yumi and Wallace were close enough to make this kind of small request. Of course, Yumi didn't mind it and was even quite happy that there would be another person waiting here. 
"Who's visiting him today?"
"Charles, a Mage Doctor that Wallace hired."
"Charles? Alright... Is it an old man?" Yumi knows a lot of Mage Doctor because of her job. Part of her work in NMTI was to license the medicine that the Mages came up to.
It wasn't her main role to confirm the medicine's effectivity but more on its legality and paperwork. Anyway, Yumi visited today as a 23-year-old female so she was thinking whether to keep her appearance with the other visitor. 
After all, whenever she works at NMTI, she was using her middle-aged woman appearance to look more professional and reliable on work. 
"Yes, he is an old man." Avalon answered.
"Mhmm... Alright! Wait... Old man? Mage Doctor and has the name of Charles? Don't tell me its the legendary Mage Charles Mavis?!"
"No records states that he is a "legendary Mage" but his name is indeed Charles Mavis."
"Of course you wouldn't find that out. His patients were all high-profile and his deeds were never recorded to the public. Only individuals with outstanding backgrounds were aware of his exploits. Some average people only know his brilliant works but not his name. He wasn't appearing in the public as he wished for a simple life... or so I hear."
Yumi seems to be surprised and Avalon took a note of it. The A.I. may be unaware but Veda surely knows more about it. It can just consult the other A.I. if necessary.
She didn't have to wait long as the man arrived at the front gate of the villa just within a couple of hours.
***
Charles arrived outside of the villa and he was sure that the place wasn't so simple. Although it feels empty on the outside, he was feeling a powerful and threatening aura coming from the within. He wasn't sure what that is yet and he would like to find out.
This didn't stop him from approaching the place and it even made him a bit expectant about the job he was about to take. 
As soon as he stands outside, the gate opened and a little girl around 8 or 9 years old welcomed him. 
'His little sister?'
"Hello, Sir Charles. We are expecting you. Please, come in..."
"Sure, was your name Claire?"
"Eh? No, I'm Hani... Sorry for the late introduction."
"That's fine..."
Charles tried to be polite and didn't further ask about her relationship with Wallace. She may be his cousin he was unaware of or some friend. She may even be the patient he has to treat.
After all, the information he found through Veda was only his direct family members. He was thinking that Wallace may not be too important yet to have more records within the mysterious information network. 
He followed the young lady in the living room but as soon as he stepped inside, he felt something.
He felt that something was going on below him or in the underground. He wasn't too sure. 
Although it was subtle, it was there.
Below him was definitely a source of unimaginable power!
'What's happening here?!' 
He noticed many layers of protection blocking the energy deep underground but due to his proficiency in Spirit Arts, he can feel the restlessness of spirits around. 
He tries to remain calm as he was sure that the person who hired him would be able to explain. It might even be related to his job. 
Gulp...
'Lacus was right... This seems to be something very difficult...'
He hasn't heard the job yet but he was sure that it wouldn't be simple.

"We're all good!"
Lina shouted as she confirms that all the systems were green.
Escanor didn't hesitate as he started to operate the ship.
"Leave it to me! Hilda! I need 20 seconds..."
"Alright!"
He starts its engine which activated every system it possesses including the energy shields. But this brought attention to the soldiers...
Hilda and the others controlled the now activated energy shield and weapons to defend the aircraft from being shot down. 
Everything was still within their expectation so Shirley quickly operated them.
"Grand Strife Seven! Grand Strife Seven! Stop your engine now!"
A message was repeatedly being announced hoping that their team would follow.
After ignoring the message three times, the soldiers below started firing at the aircraft they called Grand Strife Seven. 
"Destroy the aircraft now! It's stolen! No need to capture it! Just destroy! Use every arsenal you can just to stop that from leaving!"
One of the officers shouted and led the other soldiers to fire at will.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Unfortunately, they couldn't get past its energy shield. Their enemy seems to be well aware of how to operate their aircraft. The Sevens shouldn't be aware of their technology...
"Tsk! There must be some spies among us..." The officer said as he looked at the other soldiers.
Some soldiers tried to bring cannons and even activated their Mech Frames in an attempt to destroy the aircraft's engine...
Soon, they heard that the hangar's gate was slowly opening!
"Stop it! Close the gates!" 
"Our system was being overridden! We can't control it!"
"What?! How did they do that?!" 
The engine was now fully functional as the hundred meters long spacecraft floated steadily and rushed outside! 
"Oh no! Follow it! Hurry!"
Due to the suddenness of the operation, there was a delay in their response and they couldn't quickly arrange a group that would pursue the enemies. It took them over a minute to assemble a unit and with the speed of the stolen spacecraft, it would be very difficult to catch it. 
The officer in charge despaired at this failure. Only a few hours had passed when the general left the base and this bad news has to be reported!
It can only describe his incompetence and he may be subject to demotion. 
Sigh~
It was very bad luck for him.
While he was sad about the fact that he was about to get demoted, Hilda's team was celebrating their success as they brought the stolen aircraft to their hidden stronghold. 
Soon, they received an amazing reward! 
"Hey... Did I read this right?"
Ray Penber asked after seeing the generous reward of the system. 
Apparently, aside from the in-game items that they will receive, there was a single and genuine Bottle of Mana Rejuvenation that will be sent to the address they agreed on.
There was also a note telling them to expect better real-life items in the future...
"T-this..."
They will receive a very important real-life item just like that?
What could be the rewards next?
There will be something more valuable in the future? 
Is this true?
It didn't take long before everyone realizes that this was the starting point where the players will become more serious about this game. 


*****
Volume 1: Spaceship's Retrieval [ Completed ]
Volume 2: Going Back to Space [ will start on April 4 onwards - 1chap/day ]

*****

A planet that was not recorded in the database containing records of almost all human discoveries in thousands of years. This is where Wallace has to live and survive until he discover a way home. 

He was left with a damaged spaceship that can only be used as a shelter now. Equipped with his bio-armor, laser gun and other advanced technology equipment, he was confident that he can somehow survive in this world. But there is something here that is not existing in many galaxies that humans has conquered... magic.

Unfortunately for him, before he could explore the new world that resembles Earth, he died.

*******

Yes, the whole volume 1 was for the sake of retrieving the spaceship aside from world building, etc. 

There will be a lot of unanswered questions or missing information at the beginning but don't worry... everything is planned and will be revealed in later chapters.

Also, the first half of the first volume was inspired by 6 or so animes and 4 other novels. Good luck finding them. 
Thanks for reading!

"Survive...live...love you...sweetheart"

A woman's voice cried, echoing through me. I opened my eyes to find myself in an unfamiliar surrounding. A pain strike on my lower back. I saw my arms being bandaged up. I was confused, trying to recall what had happened. However, nothing came in my mind, all that came were scattered pieces of memories. I wore a badly damaged dress, leggings, and shoes. 

Was I struck by a hurricane?

I was in a vacant tent room. I moved aside the cloth. A cold breeze came brushing against me. I was stunned at what I saw. Blood painted the white snow, bodies laying down on the grounds a few meters away. A man noticed me and came dashing towards me.

He appeared to be in his early thirties, well-built body, tall around one-ninety centimeters, and had a good proportion. His hair was silver-white to be waist length and scarlet red eyes. He appeared to be worried as he panted.

"You must be cold! Here you go!"

He covered me with his long black coat. He wore fully black clotting of a sweater, boots, pants, and a grey scarf. I stare at him from head to toe. 

"What's wrong?"

"Who are you, mister?" 

The man was surprised as if he didn't expect that answer from me. 

"Um...my name is Charles Dragmier! And you are?"

The atmosphere was silent. I froze as I couldn't answer. Not because I didn't want to but because I couldn't remember a thing about myself and my past. A headache strike. It was an unbearable pain that made me collapse. Charles was stunned and worried.

"Hey! Hey! Are you alright?!"

My vision became blurry and soon turned black. I felt arms holding me close to the person from my side. I wonder who the person was, but before I could I passed out.

When I regained consciousness, I saw Charles right next to me and in an unfamiliar room again. Charles appears to be fidgeting and nervous. When he realized that I had woken up, his expression became worried.

"You're awake! Are you alright?!" 

I nodded asking, "Where are we?"

It turns out that I was in his younger sister's laboratory where I had been for the past few hours. The laboratory was like a regular lab but it had some sort of doctor vibe with it. Charles was fidgeting when he asked, "Have you lost your memories?".

"Now that you mentioned it...I think I have! I couldn't remember a thing about my past! How would you know?" I answered as I rubbed my head

"My younger sister scanned you when you were unconscious! I was just asking to make sure!" he answered

A woman came walking in with arms crossed. She had a platinum long-length high ponytail, bright red eyes, and had a lab coat. Her appearance was similar to Charles. 

"Didn't I tell you not to ask anything till I arrived?" she said 

Charles apologized. The woman bends down to my eye level, rubbing my head gently. She smiled softly as she asked, "How are you, sweetheart?" 

I nodded. She was happy with my answer. Her touch was comforting and warm, making me feel relaxed. She introduced herself, "My name is Claire Dragmier, his younger sister if you are uncomfortable in any way to tell it to me! Big brother, remember not to ask too many questions!". She walked away.

I began to ask questions, "Where are my parents?"

Charles averted his eyes, looking away from me. He took a deep breath as he answered with a sad tone, "I'm so sorry to say this but your parents...passed away during the attack! They were killed by the demons. We had no remains of either of them!" 

I was shocked and yet I was not tearing up at all. I knew that it was heartless but I couldn't cry at all. The reason could be because of me not remembering anything about them. Since he rescued me, I had a feeling I could trust and believe in his words so I didn't doubt it. Charles took a deep breath. 

"Do you want to be my daughter?"

I was surprised by it. He soon explained that he had wanted a child but was not interested in marriage as well as his parents nagging to have a child, they didn't care about whether it was through adoption. I thought about it for a moment. He held my hands gently. His hand was really warm and comforting like his sister's touch. His eyes were begging me to say yes to it. Since I got nowhere to go I decided on my decision.
"Yes!"

Charles was surprised not expecting that answer from me. He was like a dog with his tail wagging and ears pointed up in joy. 

"Really?!"

I nodded confirming my decision. Charles was extremely happy with his tails wagging more and jumping with joy. He was like a kid winning his favorite games.

"But...why me?" I asked

Charles calmed down for a moment.

"Hm...probably because I feel a connection with you!" he smiled

I was surprised, complimenting him with kind words. 

"Of course! I need to set examples for my younger sister and students!" 

When I questioned him about his occupation, he was more specific than he was a principal of a prestigious school as well as a businessman. Claire came in alongside another woman. 

"I brought my friend and a school doctor, Heather Everling! She would be examining your wounds!" Claire said

Heather had dark purple hair and black eyes. She opened up the bandages, that was when I first saw the bruises and some cuts around my legs and arms. After reapplying the bandages, Claire and Heather went out leaving Charles and me together. I was curious about the incident, I asked Charles about it. He explained it in a summary.

"The area your family and you were going happened to have unexpected demons roaming around resulting in an attack. My troops and I came as soon as we could but we didn't make it in time to save your parents. When my student reached you, you were already badly wounded and unconscious. That was probably the moment you got stuck on the head causing the amnesia!"

I listened attentively and took notice that a student had saved me. 

"Who is this student of yours?" 

Before Charles could answer, a boy's voice came calling.

"I'm the student who saved you! Luckily I got to you in the nick of time before you got devoured by the demons but I am sad that I didn't get there in time to save your parents!"

He was rather tall despite being around a teen age, had golden hair and eyes. He wore a black ankle-length open coat, pants, boots, and a dark-yellow turtle-neck sweater. 

"Are you alright?" he asked

I nodded and asked what his name was. 

"My name is Solaris Eucliffe and you are?" he asked

I couldn't answer as I got no clue about my names. Charles answered on my behalf.

"Her name is Selene...Selene Dragmier!"

Solaris was stunned for a moment.

"Dragmier…? So you were serious about adopting her…" he said

Charles confirmed it.

"What do you think about the name of Selene?" he asked me

I liked the name, confirming it. 

Claire came in again.

"Selene does ring a bell!" she said

This time she instructed me to follow her to take some measurements as well as to see the wounds even deeper. Instead of me walking, she had brought in a wheel-chair for me. After a few minutes, I was together with Charles and Solaris again. Heather gave her reports to Charles.

"Her wounds luckily are not that bad. I would say that it would take two days for it to be fully healed. Including her ankle which had a very slight sprain which with using the medicine as well as with proper care, will take the two days to heal as well! Her weight is the problem, in this case, being very extremely underweight about 45 kilograms with a height of 167 cm!"

"No wonder she was light…" Solaris thought

Claire came adding to her explanation.

"One more thing! Don't be surprised if she answered something regarding her past as well as doing something! From my observations, she may unconsciously say and do something that she had done and said in the past! She would regain her memories slowly, don't push it!"

Charles went with Heather to do some paperwork leaving Solaris and me alone. It was a quiet silence between us. We waited for Charles to come back to break the silence. 

"The mansion had another spare room, right Solaris? That means she would be staying in the mansions with you guys!" he proclaimed

"Are you sure?" Solaris asked, "Leaving a girl with seven boys...wait, maybe you should count it as fourteen boys!"

"No, not really! I trust you, boys! I trust you guys would keep a lady safe from anything! Not to mention our families are close friends!" Charles exclaimed

Close friends…? Dragimer and Eucliffe…? Where have I heard about those two names before? 

With Charles confirming it, Solaris goes along with it. Claire and Heather soon came joining in. Claire had said that her clothes and things would be bought and sent over by tomorrow. 

"I just hope she and Charles wouldn't go overboard…" Solaris muttered appearing to be worried about something

"For now she would be wearing some of my clothes as she does have a similar build with me!" Claire said
 
Everything was set with me living with Solaris and his friends and me enrolling in Charles's school in around two days depending on my wounds. We went to a side of the area, Heather pulled down a lamp and a side of the door went sliding open. It led to a hallway. 

"Where does this lead to?" I asked

"This leads to the mansion's shoe area," Charles answered

"You guys go! I'll stay here!" Heather said, "Remember Selene not to go overboard and try not to walk that much!" 

Claire came bringing crutches with her. 

"When you do walk just use this!" she said

Solaris pushed the wheelchairs as Charles and Claire followed leaving Heather behind. 

Amnesia caused her to forget everything of her past including her bloodline. This bloodline will play an important part in the existence of humanity. So, she believed she had no other family matter, she chose to be adopted by a kind man into his family. She was welcomed by seven boys into the home they would be staying, and their spirits reveled in her company. She would own a crison of her own.
Everything started fine with her going to a school, enjoying student life. Juggling school work and mission was a normal thing. That normal would turn upside down.
Once her memories recovered, she realized a dark truth about herself. She was given a choice. Would she side with the demons? Or would she stay true to her humanity?
Save or destroy humanity? What will she choose?
