This is a spin off novel of Release That Witch where our protagonist Liza, who became a choir girl of church in holy city of hermes fell for devil's temptation or as we know it by awakening of witch. Will she decide to join the witch union or does fate have something else in store for her? Only time will tell

"You seem to be having a lot of fun, Little Yinyi," Shou said as soon as he saw her regain consciousness.

"Yes, so can't you let me stay a little longer? I even snuck out of the mansion for this. I'm sure brother is getting a mouthful right now," she pleaded with beady eyes. Right above the core she had left, the words 'completion rate of 45%' hovered calmly.

Shou decisively shook his head. "Can't do that. You know the rules."

"Oh well, I guess so. That's too bad," Li Yinyi sulked. But knowing her, it did not take long for her to stay down. "Do you think the witch has gotten closer to me though?"

Shou laughed out. "That's a strange question to ask. Do you really think she is someone capable of getting closer to?"

"Hey, why are you laughing? That's mean." Li Yinyi pouted. "Isn't the witch also human? I'm sure she has feelings too. Yes, I'm sure she is a nice person underneath that mask." The girl nodded, agreeing with herself, when suddenly, she remembered a question she had: "Say, you said the illusory world is based on a real place, right? Then is it possible for me to find it in reality?"

Shou started preparing for the closing time by cleaning all the cores and turning them off. there was no need to waste their hard-earned money by leaving them on. Preserve energy and save a Si one at a time. "Hmm, that's tough to answer. Technically yes, it exists somewhere. How to get there is a mystery though. The place finds you, not the other way around. And even if you find that place, I'm unsure how much time has passed, so you might never really meet the witch."

"That is a shame," Li Yinyi replied.

"Well, is there any need to go there in real life when you can just meet her here? It's best if you pretend this to be a game, it makes things a lot less complicated." Shou edged closer. "You are the only one that knows this place exists for real after all."

The girl looked at Shou and smiled. "Then, can I tell you a secret too?" She cupped both her hands over her mouth and whispered, "I'm actually not as gullible as people think."

Shou tilted his head and looked at Li Yinyi. She had a mischievous grin on her face and giggled in excitement, after telling someone her secret. "Aren't you quite the trickster then."

She quickly shook her head. "No, no, it's not like I am lying to everybody, please don't think that," she quickly corrected Shou's misunderstanding. "I just think that living my life trusting others is a lot more fun and free. I'm not scared of being betrayed. Even if I died, I'd feel no regrets, because I know I lived my life happy. Really, look at dear Father and Brother living their life full of worries; In the end, we will die all the same—Where's the fun in that?" Li Yinyi puffed her cheeks. "I don't like being shackled down."

Shou quietly listened to her talk. While he did so, he felt like he understood why her completion score had become so high. The girl before him was a lot purer than he thought. "We all have our own ways of living, don't we? Ignorance can be a great thing, and once lost, it will never be back. I understand your sentiment."

"I guess it is a little selfish to put all my trust in others—it's like I'm abandoning all my responsibilities! So I'm a bit embarrassed to admit it." Li Yinyi struck out her tongue. "Well, it's gotten late, I'm worried that my father might catch on, so I'm leaving now. Goodbye Shou, see you next time!" She bowed down, grabbed her mantle, then left through the door.

Afterward, the usual quiet returned to the store.

"[hmm] It looks like everyone has their secrets huh? Just like Yinyi, the others may have facets of their lives which they don't dare say. Dismissing them as just mere customers would be the wrong thing to do [nod nod]." Si's eyes stayed focused on the door. She was thinking about what Li Yinyi had said.

Shou closed the store without much thought. "Of course, that's the point of our store, isn't it? A chance to tell their story. Everyone is the main character in their world, every stranger that passes you has a story, all filled with unique perspectives. They walk their lives blindly, unsure of how their decisions affect them. Are they living the wrong or right way, well, not even the great Dao can judge that I believe. Naturally, everyone has their secrets too." He then looked up at the painting of the single instance they sold. The witch, drawn on the scroll, appeared so lifelike, almost staring back at him. "Though I suppose the biggest secret is still you," Shou said, referring to the witch. "I wonder, should I have tried harder to understand you that time? Maybe if  I was like Li Yinyi..."

Si watched Shou but did not reply. She felt like this was a question she wasn't supposed to answer.

Shou shook his head to get rid of his thoughts. "Well, it matters not, for you have already perished. Even if there was an afterlife, I doubt we'd meet anytime soon... if at all." As he said so, he returned to cleaning.

"..." Si tried holding back, but feeling that the mood has turned a little sullen, she couldn't bear it and yelled, "Argh, if you are so curious, go ask her yourself!"

[Hidden Quest - Relive the Witch Hunt

Description: Fearing that the host may forget or dwell on his memories, the system advises you to complete the instance for yourself. Reach 100% completion rate. Time limit: unlimited."

Reward: Selling food: Smashed Cucumber salad.]

Shou was dumbfounded by the window that appeared out of the blue. "Si, this is..."

"What, you don't like it? Oh, I suppose you don't understand what a Hidden Quest is. See, if you fulfill certain conditions, you get the right to earn extra rewards. Take it as a bonus stage, if you will!" Si huffed. "Now, go see the witch and make her answer your questions."

Hearing Si talk, Shou began to laugh. "Pfft, so even kids worry about me now. Relax, I don't really need this kind of closure. I've lived long enough not to be affected by such trivial things."

"Don't call me a kid [fuming]. I'm a lady," Si rebutted embarrassed that he had seen through her. "Also, I decide what Quest you do and what not! Listen here, the problem with this store is, while seeing the many steps costumers make with your memories, you might come to regret your own. We can't have that! So go relieve some stress!"

Shou looked at one of the cores. he then looked at the broom in his hand. "Well, maybe I should find out what makes these things so attractive." He placed the broom down and placed his hand on the light.

Soon after, he found himself in the familiar flower field. Without any doubt in his steps, he headed straight for the witch. "Shall we finish this fast so I can go to sleep then?"

As soon as he saw the broken-down hut, he knew the witch wasn't far behind, and sure enough, as he sat on the ground, meditating, a woman wearing a black dress and mask came out.

Shou smiled lightly. "Welcome, take a seat."

Obviouly, the witch didn't listen. Or maybe she did, and her reply was a glowing orange orb.

"Well, I wasn't expecting much anyway." Shou clicked his tongue. The drop of light came flying towards him, but he didn't pay it any heed. Instead, he reached out for the orb and caught it in his hands. However, instead of exploding, the light in his hand slowly dimmed, until he crushed the orb, and it's dying embers crumbled to the ground.

The witches eye shook violently, unsure of what she had witnessed. She retreated a few steps and quickly created 5 fire orbs, each on every finger.

However, Shou remained calm. "I've seen these tricks before, they won't work on me anymore." He cracked his neck. "You know, I never did find out how your cultivation worked, but that's only because I never put effort in finding out. Can you tell why?" Shou lifted his hand, and just like with that witch, a great light appeared. However, instead of an orb a blinding light with a size immesurable appeared. It was as if the sun itself had descended, annilihating the world as it was known. "Because you are inferior to me."

...

He grabbed the witchs' head and held her high. The woman was in tatters. her dress was ripped apart, wounds had appeared all over her body and her mask was close to breaking. Comparatively, Shou appeared unscathed. "..." Shou didn't say anything. His grip strengthened and the mask came close to cracking.

The witch stared at Shou, but for some reasons, her eye didn't meet his, like in reality she was staring far, far away. Jsut like Shou remembered, there were no emotions. Certainly, as much as his store marketed itself as a change of fate, there was no wy it would be so easy. He thought about Li Yinyis words. Would she be able to manage what he could not—get through that cold-hearted witch?

"...How boring," Shou let go of the witchs' mask and walked away. He then hit the logout button and disappeared from the illusory world. He returned to his cozy store, as if nothing had happened at all. Si didn't say anything the whole journey.

"Completion rate —Undefinable. Stack Overflow Error. Undefinable. Error 121. UNdEfinAble."

This novel has been redacted, you can read my other novels though!

When the loose black robe slid down her chest, the witch seemed to have felt something. She looked up and shot a glance at Chu Chen.
What met her eyes was the sight of the eaglet staring at her with its beak slightly opened. That small little head showed an extremely human-like expression, like one who had been dazed. That caused the witch to suddenly take a breath and blush for no reason.
"Pervert!"
She muttered, then turned around before she had slowly taken off her clothes. She would have never imagined there had been a male human soul hidden within the body of that adorable little hatchling.
As the robes fell off, a figure of absolute beauty that had been sufficient to overshadow heaven and earth, appeared before his eyes.
Although Chu Chen's sight only allowed him to see her back. That tender fair skin, slender waist, and slender legs still managed to piece together a scene that shocked him to his core. At that moment, Chu Chen's mind went blank.
'S-s-so this is a girl's body?'
He had been dazed, falling utterly into a state of shock. However, the next instant, his eyes paused for a moment. With an eagle's keen vision, even the darkness of the night did not stop him from seeing the faded red crisscrossed scars that had been on the witch's fair back. It had been very obvious.
'Her wounds...have yet to recover!'
Chu Chen sighed feebly in his mind. Those faded red scars ruined the beauty of her perfect jade-like back.
It had been like defects on a full piece of white jade. However, looking at it from a different perspective, those scars gave her a rather unique charm. It had been the charms of fragility that made others unconsciously have felt the urge to have protected her from future harm! Otherwise, it would have been such a waste to have this perfect body ruined.
Just as that thought passed Chu Chen's mind, he had noticed that the witch shivered slightly and had unconsciously shuddered after taking off her clothes. She then slowly walked into the warm spring water.
Only then had Chu Chen realized that there had been an extremely rare natural and medicinal spring around him.
This type of medicinal spring had been a natural blessed ground. It had been filled with the abundance of the earth's, fire's and waters' spiritual energy. These had been treasured grounds that had generally been used to treat wounds, stabilize essences, and harmonize Qi. All that time, they had been greatly loved by the female disciples of any sects.
Just like the Blue Flower Valley that his junior sister stayed at, it had been rumored to have had a natural hot spring that had been specifically used by female disciples for baths.
"Do you want to come in for a bath?"
The witch breathed out comfortably and asked him softly as she submerged her body entirely in the water. 
Chu Chen had been stunned, then quickly looked around him. After confirming that the witch had been talking to him, he subconsciously gulped hard.
'S-s-she…she's asking me to join her in the bath?'
'Amitabha, form is emptiness and emptiness is form! See no evil, hear no evil…'
Chu Chen's mind had been filled with all sorts of random thoughts. However, his body had seemingly been out of his control. He had spread his wings and flew to the witch's side. Right at that moment, she turned her body around slowly.
How great was an eagle's vision? They are able to see a rabbit's hiding in the grass from a couple of kilometres in the air. Moreover, this eaglet had been a mutated species with an even greater vision.
With such a wonderful vision, the clear spring water served no purpose at all to have impeded his view. In that moment, blissfulness had been fully displayed before his eyes…
Pfft!
Chu Chen, who had been unable to resist any longer, had blood shot out of his nose. His body then limped and fell head first into the water.
"What happened to you?"
Seeing the eaglet fainting suddenly, the witch had been shocked. She quickly stood up and tried to carry him.
Yet all she saw was the eaglet that fell into the water had seemingly woken up by the warm water. It then shook its head wildly before it flapped its wings and flew out of the pool, having fled off into the distance.
The witch had been left behind, completely befuddled and having not understood what happened to the crazy eaglet.
Chu Chen felt that if he had stayed any longer, he would be the first eagle in history that died from nosebleed.
Such an erotic night had no doubt been too much of an excitement for a virgin like Chu Chen.
He quickly returned to his own nest, clumsily swallowed down the remaining few fragments of eggshells before he fell into deep slumber to have transfigured back into his human form.
His mind had been plagued by all that he had seen that night. He twisted and turned in bed for a while. He then realized that he would not have been able to have slept that night.
After some consideration, he looked at the sky outside. It had been 11pm. In six hours, he had to be up as he promised to help Elder Ling Xin. 
'Six hours...what should I do…'
As Chu Chen had been deep in thought, he had seen the freshly picked purple spiritual herbs from earlier. His eyes brightened immediately! Since he had already been bored, he thought that he might as well have taken a stroll at the sect market and to have checked out how much these purple spiritual herbs could be sold for!
With that thought in mind, Chu Chen got up and got dressed. He then took the spiritual herbs and headed to the hillside market.
The sect market had been different from ordinary markets.
Disciples would usually wake up from their meditation without a set time. Even in the middle of the night, there may be those who needed to trade or purchase treasures.
Due to that, there had been no difference between day or night. People would be crowding the place for 24 hours. 
When he arrived at the market, Chu Chen did not waste any time. He headed directly to the slightly better-looking elixir store in the market. 
The sleepy shop owner opened his eyes slightly and took a look at Chu Chen. "Kid, go to another shop. My shop does not serve disciples who have yet to have reached the Spiritual Droplets Stage."
His intentions had been clear. Disciples who had been lower than the Spiritual Droplets Stage could not afford to buy good stuff. Hence, they would also not have been able to produce decent goods to sell.
Chu Chen, who had just placed the purple spiritual herbs on the counter, nodded. He did not hesitate, but instead wanted to take the spiritual herbs back and leave.
Having seen Chu Chen's action, the store owner's sleepy eyes suddenly brightened up. Like a hungry wolf, his eyes had been filled with envy!
"Where did you get these spiritual herbs from?" The store owner grabbed Chu Chen, his gaze had been filled with an unmatched excitement. His old face somehow took on a forced friendly smile.
Chu Chen frowned slightly, then calmly moved his arm away from the store owner's grasp. "You don't need to know where it came from. I still have some in my hands. However, I only have this for sale now. Can you calculate how much I can get for these spiritual herbs?"
"Of course it'll be a good price." The old store owner seemed to have thought of something, then pulled Chu Chen to a corner in his store and lowered his voice. "Little brother, these spiritual herbs are of high level. Even with my knowledge, I can't be fully sure. However, I can assure you that these are extremely valuable spiritual herbs that's worth at least 20 spirit stones!"
"At least 20 spirit stones?" Chu Chen had been stunned as his eyes had also been filled with surprise.
He had only managed to save up to half a spirit stone in the past three years. 20 spirit stones had been considered a huge sum!
"Where did little brother find these spiritual herbs from? It's an ominous item that carries a destructive property. If you don't handle it well, it might endanger your life!" A fearful look flashed in the old store owner's eyes.


Due to a miraculous encounter, a Roc that was bigger than a mountain became a clone for the teenager, Chu Chen. Ever since then, he obtained the key to enter the divine tomb. Within the tomb is an immortal lady sealed inside a jade casket with ice. Inside it were countless immortal treasures, elixirs, magical tools, and so on, free for the taking!

Smiling at his status sam took a bit of his food, he was certainly on the path to his past power and then beyond." so what do you think?" he asked the helper.

'you are doing well your energy has shone the most progress but your lord level and mind stat have shown no improvement.' it answered it's lord.

"yeah this the expected progress, soon I'll be able to get serious without major risk to my life. but I'm not sure when I should deal with my mind stat, no" he whispered to himself "rather it how long until I am forced to deal with it."  looking down at his food with a complicated expression sam lost his sense for a moment. taking a deep breath sam pressed down the negative emotion rising in his throat. 'it will be okay, it will be okay it will be okay...' sam mentally repeated this to himself until the negative emotions were pushed someplace deep until he was ready to deal with them or they overflowed again." I guess I should find an isolated place soon before my safe breaks open and I don't want to have to move plus my parents will be pissed."

Stabbing the food Sam returned to eating in silence with more than a few thought running around his head the helper stayed quite not sure how to help him in the mouth that they had been assigned to the new lord of lust there preparations had been proven shallow, their lord was a unique being who seemed to have everything under control and no need for there help. they were glad their lord was so caple but it made them feel unnecessary hopefully they will be able to be of real use sometime soon.

done with his food sam placed the container and fork into the sink for now, 'okay I've eaten what was my plan for the day again. after work I was... oh yeah work on the lust in my body.' laying down on the couch sam started too take measured breaths as he turned his senses inward. specifically towards his energies quickly finding the warm feminine but masculine feeling energy. that was mostly floating around his body except a small bit lingering in his left eye and another lingering in his groin. taking account of the amount of lust in his body 'not enough to completely form the core but close to it maybe one or two more people. returning his senses outward sam got off the couch.

"where going hunting!" he told the system before going upstairs to grab his obsidian necklace ring and bracelets before walking out the front door into the street. running down the street to pick up sam channeled mana to his sholes as he ran towards a random house, crouching a few feet away from the house the mana exploded from his feet scorching the ground and propelling sam into the air.

sliding to a stop an inch from falling off the roof sam steadied himself before looking over his shoes and feet." thank god all my clothing have self-repair runes in them, I make them worth the three-figure price I would be paying six-figures for the clothes I damage and lose." sam took his shoe before tying the laces together before hanging them from his shoulder.' this should do for now,' focusing more mana to his soles sam ran to the edge of the roof releasing the built-up energy as he jumped.

it was three hours and a leg cramp later that sam stopped running across the rooftops, "I can't believe I didn't come across one person with a high lust level. didn't I already deal with them all in my immediate area." the lord said after limping to aa place to sit.

'that would be an appropriate assumption the other possibility that the one you missed have dealt with there lust on there own!' sam nodded in understanding before starting to massage his legs.

"I guess I'll have to head out farther to find someone." massaging his legs in silence sam watch people go about there day until his leg was better. jumping up from where he was sitting sam once more took off down the street weaving his way through the crowd like a rat through the sewer. soon he arrived at a nearby hover train station, sam got on the next train and didn't get off until he was in another part of town.

Off the train, sam began to wander the streets staying in crowded places as he wasn't familiar with the area. At one point he grew bored so he turned up his sense of smell and his other sense down leaving him to navigate with his nos. It was always interesting to do this as not only was it challenging but he learns things about the people he passes based on their smell. like on guy smell liked he bathed in bear from how much he drank, one woman was in her time of the month, he smelt a couple who smell like each other, sweat, and sex a lot of sex. He did this until the helper informed him of high lust in his vicinity.

following the direction from the helper, sam found himself standing in front of an abandoned-looking storefront in an alley. 'is this a hidden store?' sam had run into his fair share of hidden stores during his time,' now that I think about it a probably need to find a witch supply store and check on my ingredients hidden around my house! where my spellbook?' for a moment sam train of thought derailed from gather lust and to his witch relate things.

'my lord you should focus on dealing with the lust then you can focus witching later.' the helper said knocking sam from his thoughts.

'you're right, let's get this over with.' opening the door with a lot less muscle then you would think looking at it, sam walked into the store. Smelling around sam raised an eyebrow at dirty carpet covered in trash." how detailed," sam commented before channeling mana to his hand as he reached forward with it "shatter" he clenched a fist. The world splintered and fell apart revealing a punk goth designed shop. Sam reverted his sense before looking around the shop bouncing on his toes. this store had beautifully dark styled clothing and lazy dark styled as well and kinds of witch spell ingredients, witch spells and potions, cursed charm and blessed ones, and so on... so on...

 Sam slowly made his way through the store look at the merchandise and for the source of the lust, it didn't take longs there was only one other person in the store the clerk. the clerk looked maybe in her late teens but her outfit told sam that it was far from true for it was a witch style outfit darker shades of colors and very dramatic looking."hello," greeted her pulling her attention from her holo-ring.

Immediately she did a double-take at the sight of him before narrowing her eye," title please!" she was asking for Sam's title as a witch, these titles composed of the witch's specialty magic and level as a witch with a little flair on occasion.

"prince of night curses."  keeping an eye on him the witch typed something in the screen of her ring probably looking him up on the W-work, 'thank god I updated my W-net profile awhile back.'

turning of her ring she turned back to sam with a disinterested stare, "well hello prince welcome to Sally's witch store what can I help you with?"

"I'm looking to restock on my ingredients for spells, also I've been away from the witch community for a few years so I need any night curses books published in the last four years, as for the ingredients I'm looking for are the blood of rabbits, wolfs, ravens, several kinds of cats, moonstones, moon dusk, light of twilight..." as sam detailed as list of ingredients he thought about how he could absorb the lust that was inside her.

"is that all? she asked after typing in the last of sam's order.

"Yeah, that's it," Sam said as he pulled up his digital debit card.

"now would you mind telling me why you came into my store, it's obvious you didn't know it was here before." sam's lip twitched a bit witch's needed high observation skills to survive and it all way reminded him of one of the witches who raised him.' i wonder what she does now.'

"several hundreds of thousand miles away a large burly woman sneezed as she tended to her garden just before backhanding a giant bone eater lotus trying to sneak up on her.

a shiver went down sam's spine not a moment later after that thought, probably still as strong and fierce as ever.' letting out a sigh he put on a serious face, "I came into here because of a job I was given to prevent a creature older than are planet from influencing people and breaking free from its prison. to do that I need to locate certain people."

"what do you do to those you find?" she reached a hand behind the counter.

"absorb a form of energy from them, that has no effect on their health?"

"and after that,

"nothing, I leave them alone unless that energy builds up again."

"how do you absorb this energy.

"simple physical contact, for the time being, I plan to learn to do so from a distance." the witch thought for a moment before keeping one hand under the counter but handing the other to sam. smiling he took hold of it and immorality feeling the now familiar but Microscopic presence flowing into his hand.

"so how long do we have to hold hands

"depends on how much you have," she hummed in response and braced he elbow against the counter as the muscles in her arm tensed. sam relived what she was suggesting so he braced his own elbow and tensed his arm," on the count of three". the witch nodded "3..2..1!" the second they said one they each tried to force the others arm on to the counter.

The two struggled for a couple of minutes before sam used a burst of strength to win."Go again she asked with a smirk that sam returned. For the 8 minutes, it took for sam to absorb her lust and 7 more after that they had 11 matches sam winning 6 of them. After paying for his order sam thanked her for her help and cooperation and she thanked him for the entertainment and information as sam headed out the store. 

Back on the main road sam turned all his sense to near zero except hearing, navigating the streets sam spent the next almost five hours wandering the streets finding few people whose lust he had to absorb before turning back and heading home. well that was what he planned to do but that plan was trashed by the helper.' my lord we have an emergency, immediately head north northeast you must cross 2.4 miles in 30...29...28...'

The moment sam heard the word emergency he dashed to a nearby alley, activating the obsidian necklace sam climbed to the roof as the vantablack tux formed on him. flipping on tho the roof sam dropped his shoes there midair before bursting north northeast with enough force to crack the rooftops with each step.

By the time the helpers count down reached six sam arrived above an alleyway where a mugging was going down well, it was a mugging as the attacker was beginning to tear off the victim clothes, half a moment passed before a chill filled the alley and I give you a hint it wasn't the wind.

both the victim and assaulter froze as the chill came over them, "the he-" he attacker didn't get to finish as his head was suddenly snapped to the right before snapping in the other direction before she sent flying into the right wall. before she could even slide onto the ground she was knocked into the opposite wall back and forth she went more than a dozen times before she was dropped in the middle of the alley where sam landed knees first in her stomach.

the victim blinked in confusion as she couldn't understand what just happened, it happened to fast all she saw was a blur of movement." call the police," a quiet voice entered her ear making her jump. the order was repeated with a much more forceful tone deciding not to test the person currently curb stomping her attacker she quickly pressed on her hollo-earing three times connecting to emergency services.

"hello this is emergency dispatch what is your emergency?" she quickly explained what was going on," a patrol car is on its way." sam's head snapped up as he heard a police siren in the distance.

'i got a few minutes until it arrives," he looked down at the beaten women at his feet and gave her one more kick before grabbing her collar and dragging her to the woman she attacked, "what should happen to her?"

"what do you mean?"

"should she live to be arrested or should her life end here? it's your choice,"  she reeled back in horror. "she wanted to hurt you it's only fair if you decide if she gets hurt as well," sam lifted her just enough so that her bruised and bloody face could be seen. 'it also a great step to moving on from this experience'.

Silence filled the alley as the attacked female thought swallowing her spit she spoke in a shaky voice, "let... let the police deal with her...she's... not worth the blood on our hands!"

"so true people like this are not the pain and nightmares, now before I go I have something to tell you. Do not run from today or it will chase, face it and defeat it so you can move forward stronger than ever." sam then let go of the beaten women's collar before juping towards the right wall and scaling it to the roof. 

when she could no longer see her savoir she flopped onto her back her heart beating like she had run a marathon,' what an eventful day this has been when I wish for some excitement this was not what I had in mind, maybe going on a trip or a fateful encounter. I guess this contents as a fateful encounter but seriously.' eventually she got soo deep in her thoughts that she didn't notice the arrival of the police until one of them laid a hand on her which nearly got him punched in the face.

after apologizing she got a good look at him and instantly she realized," he cute." seeing his face flush she realized that she said that out loud and her own face turn red in response. the laughter of the other officer who was applying the plasma cuffs broke the atmosphere that was building between the two. clearing his throat the first officer held out his hand to help her stand. their hands remain together as they walked to the squad car just as the ambulance drove up.

upon the rooftops with zero presence sam watched the two women were taken to a police cruiser and ambulance respectively," so when someone lust draws the attention of the beast it will manipulate them so that they attack someone so the same happens to them."

'that is correct my lord,' if it had a body the helper would be sweating more then a woollymammoth in the desert on the hottest day of the year.

"I see, "was all Sam said before he walked back to the train station and head home, 'it seems that my plan of being passive is in need in revision.'

{this is were thing really took off didn't they?}

One of the seven sins, the sin of lust is in danger of going on the loose, its new lord must contain it, only he can prevent us from being devoured by our lust.
Why he was chosen is a mystery how he will rule is one as well but he will not fail. probably, hopefully, dear god I hope not
{welcome our dear lord of lust, let your training begin}

Liam's POV


I was relaxing on my room, lying flat on my soft mattress when suddenly a loud bang and a swift move, there's this chipmunk's head resting on my chest.


I know it was her because no one does that aside from her, she's the only one who has courage to disturb me anytime. 



"It's so peaceful." She mumbled while listening to my heartbeat. It's her favorite thing to do. Listening to my beating heart and leaning on my chest.




"I was at peace minutes ago. What do you want?" I asked making sure my voice sounds stern. Even if I'm not mad, it's just normal for us. 



"This is my favorite spot. I just want to lay here beside you." She rubbed her palm on my clothed chest. I was used to her being this clingy. She's the same Poebe as the one when we are kids, we sometimes kill each other still but most of the time she's like a koala clinging on me. 



"Just tell me what you need and leave me alone." 



"I won't leave you if you won't accompany me." She lifted her head and faced me.



"Poebe, let me rest! You're disturbing me since this morning." I carefully pushed her out of my face. This best friend of mine is a monster when I hurt her first.



"Just come with me and I promise not to bother you for days." 




"Woah! Is it a dream? I've been wishing for that to happen." I teased her and she pouted. I tried not to laugh because she looks like a duck right now.




"You're so mean. I hope your life become boring when I'm not around." She slapped my shoulder. Aish! This is the top one violent woman for me.




"My life will be the best without you." I teased her again and smirk. But what she did washed away the curve of my lips.



"I hate you! I hate you! I treated you as my closest since we are kids then you're telling me that you want me out of your life." She continuously slap my chest really hard while crying like a little girl. 




"Aish! This chipmunk is a baby. Stop it now or else I'll send you out." I scare her but it doesn't work, she cried harder.




"I hate you. I hate you." Nothings gonna stop her than to say yes, there's no other way to stop her tantrums.




"Okay! Okay! Stop it now, I'm coming with you." Poebe looked at me and a smile formed on her lips.



Yeah, I got it already. It's a trap. She's doing it for me to say yes and I'm an idiot because I said yes.



"You can't take it back or else, I'll tell Uncle Dallas you went on a bar last week." She jumped out of the bed and ran outside my room.




"Be ready in five minutes. I'll just redo my makeup, you ruined it monkey!" She shouted before shutting the door. 



I can't believe it, since we aged ten until now she can make me say yes with just her tantrums. That's very unlikely me. But Poebe brought it out from Liam Campbell.



"This is insane." I shook my head and changed into a black hoodie and black pants. It's my favorite, no one can stop me. I left my room and went to my car, I don't need a driver tonight so I'll drive Poebe to wherever it is she wanted to go.




"That's my Liam. Let's go!" She quickly went inside the shotgun seat and turned the radio on. I shook my head in my crazy best friend before I stepped on the gas. 




We arrived at the convenience store and she went in, she wanted me to come but I'm not in the mood to get out. She understood that because she knew I have this crazy stalker who always follow me wherever I go. As I watched her having difficulty in choosing a box of pie or pack of cookies someone came near her and I guess she's trying to help her choose one. It's a girl and she's wearing a uniform of the store employee. 



I look around and found the cashier on the counter.



"Oh, the witch is working here." I smirked and went out of the car. I didn't think twice to enter the store and walk towards her. When I passed by Poebe I heard her said something.



"Thank you but I can manage--oh Liam?"




"Hey witch! Did you enjoyed kicking my balls last time?" I asked and stopped in front of the shocked stalker. Her face is funny but I have no time to laugh.



"You!" She exclaimed with wide eyes. I almost laugh at her priceless expressions but I need to control myself. Why I want to laugh? 




"Yes stalker? Oh, a stalker has a work other than stalking me?" I tilted my head while mocking her, it made her annoyed.



"I told you I'm not your stalker and you are a pervert!" She shouted back with a murderous glare. That's a little scary, she's small but those eyes can stab you right infront of her.


Am I affected? No way!



"You're a stalker! And I'm not a pervert, you pushed me to do it. You're killing a handsome boy, so I need to stop you." 




"I don't need your explanation handsome boy--I mean, dream on pervert! Get out now!" She stopped midway before continuing her words with a blushing cheeks. 



Aha! The witch called me handsome and she's cute when she's embarrassed. But I won't tell her, she needs to say sorry for stalking me and everything.



"No I won't go anywhere. I can call the owner and tell him you're rude to me." I challenged that made her froze in a blink of an eye.




"Go on and I'll tell him you're the one who broke the wine bottles before." I gritted my teeth. She knows about Lauren's stupidity. Aish! So, it's the store where she's banned? Actually, we are banned because we have the same facial features.





"You." I growled and she smirked thinking she won against me again. No way! I won't let her. I look around and found groups of people that made me smile deviously. Payback time witch!



"Everyone! Listen to me!" All of them turn their heads. Poebe frowned but stay still on the pastry shelves.




"This girl here, she's my stalker. I don't know if I'm the only victim of her but yeah that's the truth. She looks angelic but she's a witch! She choked me and kicked my balls too. Imagine that? She wants me dead! This stalker of mine is seriously insane. Beware of her, I'm telling you. Run now or she'll kill you." I told them and moments later on only the four of us remained.


They ran like a scaredy cats. 


"Excuse me, how dare you to accuse my friend like that?" The girl with my best friend asked while walking towards me.


She's the same size as my stalker and that same glare. Annoying!



"Chichi. I can handle this." I heard the witch's voice. The girl stopped walking but glared at me and she's ready to attack me anytime. I turned my head back to my crazy stalker.




"Are you happy now?" It was a deep voice without any emotions. She looked at me and I can't read her expressions, it was empty. Maybe her blood is boiling right now and her patience runs out. 




"Are you done?" She asked again but this time, her eyes is burning with anger and it pierced me. I got shivers all over my body that I automatically gulped. I never felt this scared before. 



"Then go now. You already humiliated me and make me look like a criminal to those group of people. That's enough to let me know how worthless I am." Her facial expressions became unreadable again. But her words are everything. 


It hits me. I did something terrible. I messed up again.


"Jade. Is everything okay?" Someone spoke, she's standing near the door of the store warehouse.



"Yes Ms. Yvette. Actually our customer here is complimenting me as a good employee." She smiled sweetly to the girl named Yvette. Wow! Awhile ago she can ripped my head off with just her stare and now she's an innocent kid smiling like we didn't fight at all!





"Oh really? Jade is the nicest person I ever met. But stupid and worthless people can't see that and I'm pitying them. By the way, I hope you're having a good night Mister. Excuse me." Their boss eyed me from head to toe with her serious face before turning her back at us and enter the warehouse door.




"Do you heard what she said? She wanted you out of here. Go, or I myself make you leave." The other employee awhile ago intentionally bumped my shoulder and went on the counter fixing the items on the shelves like nothing happened.


I glanced at the witch before I pulled Poebe out of the store.


She wasn't looking at me, she was just staring at the distance with those sad eyes. I couldn't be affected!


"Let me have some sweets." When we settled on our seat I gestured her to gave me some of her cookies. This night is a bad night! I need to eat something. 




"You're unbelievable Liam! You should leave first and let me buy those delicious cookies and pies instead dragging me here with you!" She whined and folded her arms.



I fell silent, I have no energy left to fight and start the engine instead. I drove home but Poebe wanted to stop by at the bakeshop near Dallas house. She's really hungry.





"So tell me, that's the furious mad woman you met before?" She asked while busy choosing again at the pastries. 



"Yeah." I answered with no energy. I was drained and not in the mood from what happened earlier. 



"You know, you hurt her ego so much. I can tell just by looking at her scary eyes. I wanted to pull you out or shut you up but I stayed muted. I don't want her to notice me, I'm so scared at her and you won't believe me, when she said 'are you happy now?' Geez! It gave me chills!" She rubbed her palms on her bare shoulders. 



I believe you Poebe. I felt that too. 



"Choose now and we'll go. I want to sleep already." I changed the topic because I don't want to remember it again and she deserved it for stalking me, choking me and kicking my dick! It fucking hurts that day, she almost killed my soon to be babies.



I turn my back at her and saw the same figure I always see in the crowd. I turn back to Poebe and pulled her closer to me.




"She's here. My stalker is here." I whispered and her eyes went wide.



"What? How? She's in the store right?" She is. But the eyes, those eyes were here. 



"She's a stalker Poebe. We never know. But I have a plan." I told her. I think of this plan since the day I met that witch. I'll catch her to prove to my conscience that I am right. That I don't have to feel sympathy to her because first and foremost, she's my stalker! 



I told her to keep my stalker in sight, while I took the back door of this bakeshop and corner that witch. 



When I'm done negotiating with the manager, he let me pass the back door. I carefully walked past the entrance door without any sound and went towards the girl wearing a mask and a hoodie sitting not to far from where Chipmunk is, she's silently watching her, her act is very convincing. 


But unfortunately, she doesn't have idea that I was just behind her.



"Liam! Come out fast. I want to go home now." She intentionally raise her voice for her to hear. My best friend is standing beside the closed bathroom door. 



I calmly put my hand on the witch shoulder and whispered something in her ear.




"Come with me and everything will be fine." Her body stiffened before she turned her head to me.




"Don't make a scene here." I grabbed her wrist and dragged her outside the bakeshop. She tried to pull her arm back but nothing happened, I have a good grip. I pinned her to the wall and put my hand near her face.




"What do you want now? I know you're my stalker. Remove that and let me see your face."




She shook her head and stayed silent. She's stubborn and I'm running out of patience.



"Don't let me do something I don't want to. Remove that or I will." I firmly said and smacked the wall not to hard but enough to make her tremble in fear. Her hands slowly reached her mask and pulled it out revealing the face I've never expected.



"Y-you are m-my stalker?" I stepped back, stuttering my words. I can't believe my eyes. 


How could it happened? All I know is she's--Fuck it! 




"Yes."





How the hell it happened?




--

Same faces, different personalities intrude the peaceful life of Jade Kim. The four fell on her and tried to win her heart in their own different ways. One has the key, but life isn't favored to their love story. Putting alot of problems in the way to their happy ending. The other three are still in the choices, she'll be torn.

We do not manufacture magic, we are just magic transporters.

That was Flourish and Blotts.

Hogwarts' first to seventh year textbooks were located inside, as well as very useful random books like "Hogwarts, A History" and "The Tales of Beedle the Bard."

The first step in understanding the world of magic would begin naturally with Flourish and Blotts. But how to enter the bookstore?

Jonathan remembered that Flourish and Blotts was in Diagon Alley and that the Cauldron Hole was the entrance to Diagon Alley. But the problem was that a magic wand was needed to open this passage.

What to do! Anyway, let's get the first amount of funds.

After a while, thanks to the faithful depiction of history books in the recording of the history of this period, Jonathan quickly accumulated his first sum of funds and the plan to get into Flourish and Blotts could finally begin.

The Bored Cauldron was a dirty little pub on the streets of London, and some sort of Muggle-repelling spell had been cast into it. So even though people were pacing up and down, no one had noticed that. The business inside the bar was rather scarce, while Tom, the bar owner, was half reclining on the counter, reading the Daily Prophet who had just left the printing press. Everything was as usual.

But today it also seemed a bit different from the usual in the eyes of the customers of the Blowhole Cauldron who saw this scene.

A six- or seven-year-old brat had entered the bar. He then looked left, to the right, and occasionally scratched his head.

Whose child was that? The present-day customers and the owner of the bar that Tom had questioned.

After a while, the brat approached Tom and asked, "Excuse me, how do I get to Diagon Alley?"

"What do you want to do in Diagon Alley?"

"I have to go to Flourish and Blotts in Diagon Alley."

"What do you want to do there?"

"Mom says not to talk to strangers much."

All the witches and witches began to laugh after their words, with huge black lines over Tom's head.

"The child is so cute." One of the witches could not stand it any more, along with a child who looked like 5 to 6 years old said. "I'll take you to Diagon Alley myself."

They will then pick up Jonathan and walk through the balcony of the Cauldron Hole, reaching a small walled courtyard. There was only a litter of trash against the wall and a thick growth of weeds. The witch counted three bricks on the wall of the dustbin - and two others to the side. She then picked up a wand and hit the brick wall three times. The brick she touched began to tremble - the middle of the wall began to squirm violently as a small hole appeared - growing larger and larger. An arched door big enough for two to cross appeared in front of them after a second. This arched doorway led to a street paved with cobblestones. The street squirmed and turned in front of them until they could no longer see.

"Welcome to Diagon Alley." The witch laughed.

Although Jonathan had simulated this scene in his mind many times, he was still incredibly surprised when he actually saw it happening. The witch smiled faintly at him as they walked through the door together. Behind them, the door quickly turned into a solid wall again afterwards.

The light was much brighter after entering the Diagon Alley than when compared to the Cauldron Hole. Jonathan noticed that the friendly witch had a head full of blond curls. Her lovely face had a pair of blue eyes like the ocean. She did not look that old, about twenty-five to twenty-eight, and it was probably a pharmacy because of the slight smell of green or herbal potions, the child beside you, dressed as if you were a boy, you could say it was a girl because the witch and the girl had a similarity
of 80% of each other.
 
"I need to go and trade for some galleons first." Jonathan said to the friendly witch. "Will the big sister take me to Gringotts?"

"You're so sweet to one so young. By the way, my name's Marry. You can call me big sister, Marry, and this is my daughter, Julie. Little girl Julie said. "Hello, my name is Julie." Although she introduced herself formally, she looked very cute for hiding behind her mother while holding on to the long black robes of the witch Marry. The witch Marry chattered happily for a while as the three of them followed the cobblestone path of Diagon Alley, walking toward the wizard's bench.

Jonathan kept a firm grip on his curiosity to look less like a little wizard who had escaped from his Muggle home. As they took to the streets, his eyes constantly moved everywhere and scanned everything, memorizing everything he saw, such as stores, out-of-store items, etc.

There were large cauldrons stacked outside the nearest store. There was a sign hanging above saying: Cauldrons - of all sizes - copper, brass, tin, silver, auto-mobile, collapsible.

A fat lady was standing outside a pharmacist not too far away, turning her head vigorously and shouting aloud: "Dragon liver, 17 scythe a jaguar ..."

A soft, low chirp came from a dark shop. The signage in the store read: "Eeylops Owl Emporium - Screech, Barn, Tawny, Brown and Snowy".

Many boys who seemed to be the first few years had firmly smashed their noses into the window of another store. Jonathan knew that the magic brooms of his dreams were inside.

There were also many stores selling clothes, binoculars, and strange silverware that Jonathan had never seen before. Bat spleen and eel-eye buckets were also stacked inside the window. Tottering piles of spells, parchment scrolls, jars and all sorts of round objects also joined the mess.

"This is Gringotts, little brother!" The witch Marry said.

They had come in front of a white building with snow. This building towered over the neighboring little shops. Creatures that were obviously goblins wore scarlet and gold uniforms while flanking a set of polished bronze doors. Jonathan went up the white ladder toward a goblin. The goblin was about the same height as the current Jonathan. He had a dark-colored, intelligent face and a pointed mustache. Jonathan had also noticed that his toes and hands were very long.

As they entered, the goblins bowed to them. They were now facing a second set of doors. Those were silver and had some words engraved on them:

Come in, strange, but be careful.
With what awaits the sin of greed
For those who accept but do not earn,
Must pay more expensive in turn.
So if you look below our floor
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you were warned, be careful not to
find more than treasures there.

"Little brother, you're not thinking of stealing the place, are you?" Marry joked.

"Whoever steals this place would be seriously insane." Jonathan shook his head and silently added a phrase at the same time: at least for now.

As they passed the silver doors, two more goblins bowed to them. They then came to a vast marble hall with about a hundred goblins sitting on the benches behind the counters. They were scribbling in checkbooks, using brass scales to weigh the coins and using magnifying glasses to scrutinize the gems. There were countless doors opening into the hallway, and even more goblins leading people in and out of doors. Marry, Julie, and Jonathan walked directly to one of the counters.

"Good morning," Jonathan said to a goblin who was not busy. "Can you change pounds in galleons for me?"

"Yes". The goblin said. "Over here, please." The goblin took Jonathan to the counter after he had finished, and Marry and Julie moved gently away. Jonathan took a large sum of money and traded for a thousand galleons. He then took two galleons to the goblin as a hint, and then took out another twenty to ask the goblin to cast an extension spell on his little purse. This charm could increase the space inside your bag, and could be refurbished again to further increase the space. The goblin helped to increase the space inside Jonathan's backpack to one square meter, and Jonathan put the rest of the galleons inside him. He then gave the goblin two other galleons. When he saw the goblin's beaming expression, Jonathan knew that these galleons were well worn. It would be much easier to conduct business with this goblin in the future.



The next morning came by in a blur and l found myself seated in a matte black jeep, that had brown leather seats and tinted windows. To my surprise, Rose was the one driving the car. We sped down the rocky country side road with nothing but the radio drowning the silence that consumed the car. I was waiting on Rose to start the conversation that she had abruptly ended yesterday and l didn't know how to go about starting it. 

"tell me more about this 'kingdom'" l said after mastering the courage to break the silence. 

"200 years ago, a group of settlers stumbled upon this land and decided to settle here. They believed in a hierarchical system where they are ruled by a King. That's when the monarchy came about. The lineage of Royal blood was carried down from generation to generation and here we are today " she said. Short and straight to the point. 

" okay, although l believe there is more to the story, are there any other kingdoms around or is this the only one? " l asked, curiosity getting the best of me. 

" there are other kingdoms around, but we aren't really on friendly terms with any of them" she replied with a grave expression on her face. 

We arrived in town and l was at a loss for words. It was buzzing with human life, people of all ages loitering the streets, restaurants packed to the brim. It was a sight to see. We parked in front of what seemed like a market 

"since today is a Saturday, the market is open. That's where we get all the fresh produce" she says opening her door and walking towards the different stalls. We got all the different types of vegetables ranging from avocado's to brinjal's. 

" Queen Manila?" an old man said bowing in from of me. As if sensing my confusion he explained himself. "my apologies miss, l just couldn't help but notice how you look like a carbon copy of our late queen. Excuse me" and with that he was off. I looked at his retreating figure and just as l was about to call out to him, he was gone. Strange. Looking back l could see a startled looking Rose. Clicking my finger in front her, l could see her snapping out of her daze. 

"why is he calling you Queen and bowing before you?" asked Rose with uncertainty. 

" your guess is as good as mine. I do not know who or what that man is talking about" l answered her honestly. I could tell she was not convinced as she just nodded her head and made her way to the car. 

We drove to another store and bought groceries in bulk, it seemed to be a wholesaler of some sort. People kept on giving me strange looks, some looked at me with disgust and others with curiosity. It baffled me because l had never seen nor spoken to any them. Ignoring them, l carried on helping Rose with the things she needed. Once we had everything that Rose had come to buy, we drove to a clothing store. she parked the car in front of the store and made her way towards the entrance. The bell above the door dinged as we made our way inside the store and a young preppy girl came to our aid. 

"hi, how may l help you?" she asked with a smile on her face looking at Rose. She clearly hadn't seen me or she just chose to ignore my presence all together. Rose pointed in my direction and the girl slowly turned to face me. Her face scrunched up in disgust and the friendly smile was wiped off of her face. She looked at Rose then back to me and scoffed. 

"what was that about?" l asked Rose as soon as the girl was out of our sight . " l sent your measurements two days ago and asked her to put together different outfits for you" said Rose clearly avoiding the question l asked as the young girl made her way back to us caring a huge back of what l assume are the outfits. She threw the bag at me and l was a little taken back by her attitude. Deciding to be the bigger person, l thanked her and we made our way back to the car and through the buzzing town. 

"Rose, do you have any idea as to why that man would call me a queen?" l answered with curiosity evident in my tone. 

"I dont know, but what l do know is that queen Manila was hunted down 21 years ago when she gave birth to her first child and hasn't been heard from since then. Many assumed she was dead." she answered turning slightly to look in my direction. Letting the information sink only led to more confusion on my part. 

" why was she being hunted? " l asked as nothing was making sense to me 

" Rumours can make or destroy a person. Apparently she had some sort of powers but nothing was ever confirmed. The people thought she was a witch or something along those lines and were terrified of her " she said. 

 

" A witch? How is that possible. How did she become the wife of a King? " l asked 

" The king, her husband was said to be traveling the world building alliances with other Kingdoms, stumbled upon her and fell in love" she replied. 

" so l am guessing the king is still alive?" l asked 

"yes, but he hasn't been the same since that fateful night 21 years ago" she said. 

" where is his kingdom and why would people assume the late queen was a witch" l asked the question that was burning to be asked 

"well for starters she was the first and before you came along, the only person in history to be of a bronze skin tone. Many could not believe their eyes when they saw her and refused to be ruled by her in the kingdom of Metusa" she said. As she said this, l could now understand why people were looking at me strangely when we were walking around the town. They all thought l was a witch too.

After years of roaming the world to find a place she can call home, Amina finds herself in a small town in the heart of Africa called Coronian. There she leads a simple life until her 21st birthday where the murder of her boss unlocks her true identity but not before trapping her in a world of unending mystery. That not only brings misery and destruction but allows her to find love.

Before Edith left for the Eastern Front, She gave a list of tasks to Cole as she didn't want anyone in the City Hall or from His Majesty's side to suspect her actions. Especially with the City Hall Director, Barov Mons who was always finding faults with her actions. Soon, she'd have to deal with Barov and the best way would be to lessen his credibility in-front of His Majesty but she won't limit herself to just that, there's hundreds of vengeful thoughts lurking inside her thoughts.

...

Two days went by and his sister traveled back to the Eastern Front along with the Army Commander, Iron Axe. Cole Kant was busy going back and forth, doing all the chores his sister gave him. First of which was to contact an alchemist named Jale Bate who her sister coerced into doing her bidding. He didn't ask her sister how but whenever they meet, the young alchemist was always wary of his actions towards the witch named Evelyn. He was still studying the courses His Majesty implemented and his head hurts whenever he overhears their conversations.

"The chemical reaction after creating a resin from the plant you've used to brew these drinks is probably the cause of the effects" Jale concluded after he continuously researched on the plant and the drink Evelyn made. 

During the following days after Edith contacted Evelyn, the winery was still in-operation but it was Cole who resolved the problem of her 'new customers' and with them taken care of, Evelyn was a little relived. She new fully believed in the management still of the Northern Pearl for her to easily resolve her problem.

Though Jale identified the main cause, he is still missing a few points as the resin when re-created using polymerization method only show a similar chemical compound as the drinks but the effect of in-taking the resin is a far cry when drinking the magically concocted wine.

While Jale was in the store room conducting his research he instructed Evelyn to create another batch of the new drink but with additional ingredients to create comparisons to his initial results. As the alchemist director said, no matter if it is created by magical, mechanical or chemical means, everything is coherent to the laws of natural science so he knew that there must be a composition of elements that could replicate Evelyn's new drink. 

Yes, replicating it was the specific task the Northern Pearl specifically tasked him to do and the witch was unaware of this. Jale then looked up as Evelyn put the newly created wine sample in his table. He's looking at a victim just like him who was coerced by the sly City Hall Officer in one way or another but it's not time to feel remorse to a fellow victim. 

He felt a tingling sensation in his lower area as he remembered how he was coerced and he knew that if he did not deliver a satisfactory result, a heavy repercussion would fall. He was not fully concerned with himself as the worst would be getting stripped off his alchemical title but for someone else, someone important enough in the development of Neverwinter.

The castle district has lesser patrols roaming around as almost everyone was deployed in the front lines and if there's any inquiry or concern from the residents, it will all be directed to the City Hall so most of the primary functions and decision making that the Lord usually does are now the their task so you could say, the people handling the City Hall is the rulers of this city. Cole knew that power and freedom is only for those who stand above and even now with all the rules and free choices His Majesty Roland implements, he still feels constricted especially when he learned the ins and outs of the city's policies. The new rules are just a more complex version of slavery as it directly targets those vulnerable to their desires. Those factory workers and builders are slaving away their work to feed themselves and buy new luxuries for themselves. At first glance, it looks like freedom as you are able to choose how you live but down to it's core, it's eating away the lives of all its residents. Though he was not opposed to it as compared to actual slavery, these people are eating and living in a better environment. These realizations that his sister helped him understand made him frightful of the current ruler, His Majesty Roland. For someone to device a complex plan to create an army of slaves to do his bidding while making them think that they are doing it for themselves is someone that truly transcends his time.

His sister, though was not in the same league of the current ruler was not without merits. She fully absorbs everything His Majesty Roland implements and creates innovative modifications to them so deep inside, he knew that once his sister would soon surpass His Majesty and when that time comes, he'd finally be able to achieve true freedom unbound by laws nor common practices.

Looking at the middle part of his list, he saw the name of another witch "Maggie" crossed out. Though he did not know how a witch that can turn to a pigeon help her sister, he knew that it won't end well for anyone in his list.

After dealing with the frenzied customers and organizing the plan his sister told him about, he went back to the winery to check on the replication process.

"S-Sir Cole, you're here" Jale staggered when he saw the man who entered the store room. "I'm still in the process of discerning the components of the drink but rest assured it'd soon be completed"

Cole did not respond but looked again at his list of tasks then composed himself then walked towards Evelyn who was also busy concocting a new drink. Two other men came inside the store room and stopped behind Cole. He knew that the constitution of witches are far stronger than ordinary men but after seeing the extreme effects of the drink. he knew that even witches are susceptible to its effects.

"Good afternoon Lady Evelyn" Cole greeted. Evelyn looked and greeted the same in response.

Cole got closer and ran his hands on Evelyn's waist. This action startled the witch and even the alchemist but Cole soon proceed to soak his handkerchief to the newly created drink.

"Forgive me, my lady" Cole said as he forced the handkerchief to Evelyn's mouth. The witch tried to struggle but was pinned down to the floor by the two men and the basin where the newly created drink was forcefully poured to her mouth. With the handkerchief preventing her from closing her mouth and with Cole holding her jaws and squeezing on her cheeks, she was unable to resist and soon, large amounts of the drink is inside her system.

Evelyn who was struggling moments ago was now docile and her eyes were blank. Soon after she felt euphoric and was vomiting liquid matter.

As the two men were fitting the witch inside the sack, Cole repeated the task he just read. "Evelyn is a liability, fix her".

He then looked at the alchemist and gravely said "Don't become a liability Mr. Alchemist".

Evelyn created a new drink with a potency much higher than Chaos Drink in alluring people for wanting more.

In the world where some things can't be explain were into Ares' life. The curse that he didn't wish to have it as it is passed on through generations. 

Ares is the eldest child of the Martinez Clan, the pack of wolves. He wished to break the curse of his family but only to do so is to find the powerful witch, but fate isn't his. He lost the will to find the witch as no one knows its identity.

Life becomes unfair and Ares cursed his life.

His temper made him unbearable and uncontrollable to his family and the society until one person came into his life and everything's changed even his perception of life.

Ruby went into town as soon as she woke up the following morning feeling refreshed and ready to go. She went to get rid of some jewelry first, making about $30,000 total (not her best haul but not her worst either in a city this size). 
Her next stop was to purchase a fridge and wood chipper from a home improvement store that would be delivered to a place in front of the castle later. The humans would be confused but it wasn't like she had another choice.
 She couldn't move the things by herself! If they got left out front Ash would be able to lift them no problem. She scheduled the delivery for after 3 PM so he could help her.
Ruby planned to hit Walmart last so she could pick up board games, a TV, lamps, and some movies before heading to the grocery section. First she had to drop by the witch coven to get more electricity magic. 
Her usual glamour would not suffice because people here knew her aunt and uncle but she was hesitant about making up a new one. The witches probably knew everyone in their service area on sight. 
She could use the vampire one she had on every time she came here with Ash before but it would be more than a little suspicious since it was mid-afternoon. Whatever. Let them look at her like she was strange. 
Ruby walked into the store and had to wait about fifteen minutes to use the code phrase because there were humans milling about. She wasn't able to get the shop to herself until they all checked out and left. 
"The duck howls at the sky," she said confidently. 
The blinds closed, Philomena's glamour came off, and she seemed a little surprised at seeing a "vampire" during the day but didn't say anything about it. She was in full customer service mode. 
"What can I do for you?"
"I need more of those magic electric outlets…probably a dozen of them. I'll pay a rush fee to get them made now if there aren't enough in stock," Ruby told her. 
The witch tapped her chin thoughtfully. "Hmm I think we only have seven of those on hand. They don't take long to make but everybody is in the middle of projects right now. The rush fee is $200 per magic item, do you really want to pay that?"
Ugh, highway robbers as usual. Good thing she didn't ever have to worry about not being able to afford rush fees. Any other fae might not be able to cough up that much cash in a pinch. 
"Not a problem."
Philomena was all smiles. "We do love ourselves a VIP customer! Wait right here, I'll go get someone to take care of it for you."
She headed back and left Ruby alone in the store drumming her fingers on the counter in agitation. She had spent far too much time reading labels in witch-run health nut stores lately and did not want to do that again no matter how long she had to wait. 
As she waited, Blair walked by the open door and did a double take when she saw who was standing at the counter. She rushed out and seized Ruby's upper arms; her yellow eyes glowing in panic. 
"You're Ruby Gardner, right?" 
How had the witch guessed that when she looked like a vampire?! She had no proof; it would be fine as long as she played it off. "I have no idea what you're talking abou—"
"Cut the crap, alright? This is serious! Flora is in danger!"
All the blood drained out of her face. Blair looked deadly serious; she knew everything that went on in her territory so something terrible must have actually happened to her baby cousin while she was gone. 
"What is it? What happened?" Ruby asked desperately, reaching up to grasp the arms that held onto her. 
"Come with me," she said grimly. 
Blair led her back into her workshop and pulled out a memory stick, inserting it into the laptop that had been left open on top of a stack of spellbooks. A few clicks later, a video appeared on the screen consisting of a tear-stained face Ruby knew well. Flora. 
She was looking at something off-screen and a cold disembodied voice said, "Look at the camera and say hi to Ruby." 
Flora eagerly jumped up and got right in the camera's lens so she was little more than a green and brown blur. Her little voice shook with emotion and she began to sob partway through what she had to say. 
"Is Ruby in there? I want to see her! Show me Ruby! You said I could see her if I was good! Ruby, where are you? Mommy and Daddy went away too so you have to come back, okay? I don't want to be all alone."
The cold voice spoke up again as the baby fairy continued to wail and clutch her bear and blanket ever tighter. 
 "If you want to see your little cousin alive again you will come to the bed-and-breakfast on Rochelle Road alone. Speak of this to no one or she will die. We will be waiting."
The video ended and Ruby couldn't do anything but stare at the screen in dread. Flora truly was in danger. There was only one person she could think of who would kidnap an innocent child to threaten her. Whoever her uncle tried to sell her to. 
She rounded on the witch accusingly. "Where did you get this?"
Blair held her hands up defensively. "The thumb drive was left on the counter by some guy in a hood who said it was for your eyes only. Mena tried stopping him but he walked right out without another word.
"I was skeptical about this and thought it was some kind of hoax until I watched the video. I went out to your aunt and uncle's house myself to see what happened and…I'm so sorry but they're gone. There was blood on the floor near two piles of soil."

Ruby Gardner, a fairy on the run, finds herself trapped in a vampire's castle. Ash Mayhew is mysterious and confusing but the two of them strike a deal where she helps him in exchange for keeping her safe for a little while. She never would have dreamed exactly how much that deal would entail...
