章節 21: Chapter 21:The curious cat almost died from being curious
Seeing the huge Roman coliseum surrounded by fire, Adryan widened his eyes in shock.
One would think he was back in the time when the coliseum was packed with spectators eager to see the gladiators slaughter and kill each other for the satisfaction of the spectators.
The coliseum seemed to be in all its glory as if it was still hosting gladiators and beasts to satisfy the public's bloodlust...
But there was a problem.....
The coliseum seemed to be shaking continuously as if something was there and it was trying with all its might to escape but the coliseum wouldn't allow it...
Realizing the danger Adryan was in he quickly tried to look away as he tried to get out of the City of Calamities.
And he turned his gaze just in time because blood began to fall from all the orifices of his face while his hair grew longer and his pupils elongated like those of a panther.
The muscles in his legs and arms tore, while his fingernails slowly grew to resemble claws.
Raving began to ring in his head and Adryan fell to his knees holding his head.
Adryan felt his lungs on fire and he couldn't breathe, his throat was clogged and his mind clouded.
The coliseum began to shake more strongly and the fire that surrounded it grew bigger, completely covering the coliseum and preventing it from shaking more.
The City of Calamities began to shake strongly holding whatever was in the coliseum in place...
Adryan didn't even have time to cry out in pain as one of the fire soldiers appeared next to him and carried him in his arms as he ran quickly away from the Coliseum.
Despite being made of fire, it did not hurt Adryan...
The more they got away from the coliseum, Adryan's condition improved, his red hair returned to normal length while his pupils returned to those of a human being.
But he was still not safe as he could still hear the ravings of something...
The fire soldier who was carrying it quickly returned to the entrance of the city and carefully placed it on the ground.
Giving a military salute, the fire soldier returned to his position as if nothing had happened.
"You deserve a raise"-Adryan murmured weakly, he had run out of strength and his body was still trembling from the pain and the experience he had.
If he kept looking at the coliseum without giving importance to its strangeness of it, he would have died.
After The City of Calamities stopped shaking, it finally began to treat Adryan's wounds with the yellowish smoke causing the ravings to gradually leave his mind and his arms and legs to heal while his fingernails returned to their original length.
When the wounds were healed, Adryan left the City of Calamities and returned to his body.
Feeling his chest wet Adryan looked down to see that his chest was covered in blood looking in the mirror Adryan could see the blood from his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.
Not even having the strength to get up and go to clean himself, Adryan's eyes rolled back and he fainted on the floor...

...
While all this was happening, a boy was playing cards in his room.
He looked dignified and strong, in his early teens. The boy was about 1.4 meters tall and he had pitch-black eyes.
Suddenly the boy turned his head so fast you'd think he broke his neck and looked in a specific direction.
The boy said nothing and stared in that direction for a while.
Not achieving anything, the boy grabbed the deck of cards he had and shuffled it quickly.
Pulling out a random card he looked at it.
"The Chariot..."-the boy said no more and stared at the card....
...
...
...
.....
In a space completely covered in darkness except for a small square of light....
In this was a tall and thin man with long, silver hair reaching his back and soft facial features.
He was praying with his eyes closed to a one-eyed giant hanging upside down on a cross...
Suddenly the man stopped praying and turned to look in a specific direction for a long time.....
....
.....
....
...
At 10:00 a.m. on Friday, June 9, Adryan was still lying on the ground covered in blood.
After half an hour Adryan got up suddenly and while colliding with everything in his house he went to the bathroom.
Arriving at the WC Adryan began to vomit his dinner from yesterday along with a little blood.
After emptying his stomach, Adryan collapsed next to the WC and stared at the ceiling with his reddish-brown eyes as he gasped for air.
He stayed like that for another half hour...
Finally, Adryan shakily got up from the floor and weakly removed his bloodstained clothing, and tossed it aside as he slowly stepped into the shower.
A hot shower would have done Adryan very well at that moment but the only ones that could afford that were the nobles so he had to beat himself with cold water.
After 20 minutes Adryan was in front of his fireplace while burning his bloody clothes...
Adryan was quite pale and his gaze was a bit weak.
'I won't go near that damn coliseum again until at least I'm an angel'-was all he thought as he watched his clothes burn.
At 12:30 p.m. Adryan finally arrived at the club.
When Robert saw him he quickly put away his book and walked over to him with an alarmed look.
"Mr. Adrian, what happened to you?
Are you okay? Do you need a glass of water? A chair to sit on? Some medicine?"
Seeing how alarmed Robert was, Adryan just shook his head at Robert's attitude but his concern warmed his tired body.
"I'm fine Mr. Robert I just need a good rest tonight and I'll feel like new in the morning"
'And a lot of food my stomach is completely empty'-was what Adryan said in his mind.
This calmed Robert down a bit but he still gave her a worried look.
"Then I hope to see you better tomorrow Mr. Adryan"
"Yes I know and if I don't I'll go see a doctor"
Hearing this, Robert completely calmed down and went back to reading his book.
Heading to the shooting range again he saw Grievius writing something in a little book.
When he saw Adryan's appearance he couldn't help but let out one insult.
"Shit boy it looks like your woman left you dry, is she a vampire, you're pale as dead"
With a sigh, Adryan simply walked over and he sat next to the bald man to rest for a while.
章節 22: Chapter 22:I was careless
Settling back in the chair, Adryan turned to face Grievius.
"I'm sorry Mr. Grievius but today I won't be able to take your classes today"
This made Grievius raise an eyebrow as he took a drag on his cigarette.
"If you couldn't take classes today, there was no need for you to come and tell me you could miss it and I wouldn't mind, I could be smoking without having to watch your ass."
This made Adryan chuckle slightly at the insult.
"Excuse me about that, Mr. Grievius, but I couldn't leave an old man alone all by himself"
When he said this, the two looked at each other and then laughed.
"You know brat you are the only one in the club who is capable of putting up with me so congratulations you are the least imbecile in this club"
"Maybe if you stopped provoking everyone you come across, you'd be nicer to be around."
Said with a quivering eyebrow, and they were in silence for a while before Grievius spoke with a serious tone.
"Tell me brat have you been noticing something curious around Backlund lately."
At the change in tone, Adryan's expression became serene and he saw that Grievius had become serious.
"If you mean all the murders, and deaths due to illness, yes I have noticed"
"It seems that you are not pure muscle, brat"
With his eyebrow twitching again Adryan added more.
"It seems that something very dark is happening in Backlund"
"You've hit the nail on the nose..."-taking a puff on his cigarette, he looked at the roof of the shooting range while he added something else.
"I feel like something big is coming and I don't think anyone is ready for it"- Grievius said it with depth and uncertainty
'You have no idea how right you are, Mr. Grievius.'
-thought Adryan looking at Grievius the redhead decided to change the subject before they got too dark.
"Mr. Grievius, do you have a job other than teaching at the shooting range?"
Adryan had this curiosity because Grievius was always at the shooting range and he wanted to remove this doubt for a while.
When he had said this, Grievius was taken aback by the question before giving a huge smile.
"Heh, I work in the Church God of Knowledge and Wisdom, you didn't expect that, did you?"-While saying this, he took out a book from his bag, showing that it was the holy bible of the church...
This caused Adryan's eyes to widen in shock as he looked at Grievius as if he had grown another head.
He quickly moved away from Grievius as he took out his revolver and pointed it at him.
"Don't be so nervous, brat, it's not necessary to get to that point"
But Grievius was just as calm as he continued to smoke.
But this didn't calm Adryan and he kept the revolver on Grievius the whole time.
"Are you a church beyonder?"
"And you keep showing that you're not just muscle, listen to me brat put down the gun, and let's talk like civilized people after all I never arrested you right?"
Thinking for a moment, Adryan kept the revolver in its holster but did not approach Grievius, he just stared at him very while he was close to the stairs to escape.
"Much better, look, brat. Wouldn't you like a job opportunity without having to worry about being arrested?" Grievius take out his cigarette and looked at Adryan.
"Are you asking me to join the church? But I am an illegal beyonder"
"Please do not compare us with the other churches, we of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom do not judge illegals as long as they have not done anything serious and we even usually give them the opportunity to join us as long as they pass the inspections and you, Adryan, have been approved and have the opportunity to join our church"-When he finished saying this, Grievius took out another cigarette and lit it.
All this information was tearing Adryan's head to shreds, he thought that he managed to stay away from the churches' radar but it turns out that he was in the eyes of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom all this time?
Adryan thought for a long time and gritting his teeth, he realized that he was in checkmate.
He was too stupid to think that he would be able to move under the noses of the churches as he grew stronger but it turns out that he was in the palm of one all this time.
He had been too arrogant and careless which led to this situation.
'At least I was lucky that it was the church of that dragon that ended up discovering me since if it was any other I would already be dead or in a cell being experimented on'
Giving a big sigh, the redhead just nodded at Grievius, which made him have a huge smile, and took the cigarette out of his mouth.
"Welcome to the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom Adryan Kenway"
When he finished saying that, he put the cigarette back in his mouth.
Then he moved to Adryan's side and patted his shoulder.
"Tomorrow I will take you to a good teacher from the church so that you can learn from him since I doubt you have much mystical knowledge"
Giving him one last pat on the shoulder, Grievius left the firing range, leaving only Adryan who stared at the ground for a while.
Adryan could only sigh and headed home.
While Adryan was in the public carriage on his way home just 40 minutes after he left the area a little boy appeared and started looking around.
Not finding what he was looking for, he frowned.
"Fate is too weird in here....." the boy then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After another while, a man with long white hair appeared in the sky and looked around but couldn't find anything.
This one, too, had already disappeared in the blink of an eye, never realizing how close 'He' came to catching a certain snake and how the boy almost was caught without realizing it...
Adryan would never have known that he had almost put an end to the game of hide-and-seek that had been played for millennia...
When he got home after checking the traps, the redhead made his snack and sat at the table.
He simply stared at his food plate for a long time before eating.
The food had gotten cold...
