The Author Is Speechless

The cafe was filled with people so Ivon was feeling a bit uncomfortable in that situation. He wanted to leave but the bodyguard offered him a big meal to keep him seated until the boss arrives. But his tactic didn't work at all.

Ivon and Rae finished their meal and went outside the cafe to look for a taxi and then, an incident occurred.

Ivon looked at the crowd who was passing through him like a wave. In that wave, a familiar scenery caught his eyes that made his heart skip a beat.

His legs froze because he was too shocked. He expected something like that would happen soon but his body wasn't ready to accept the reality. A teardrop came out of his eyes.

In that wave of people, a tall man with deep orange eyes was standing by wearing modern clothes. His abnormally tall figure was attracting too much attention in the crowd of Seoul streets but it didn't bother him.

Even though someone very important changed his body, the colour of mana and the taste of aura never lie.

The man walked to Ivon slowly with smaller steps and eventually, the steps became bigger and faster. But Ivon was still unable to move a finger because he was still in shock.

His tears were coming out even though his face didn't have any expression.

The man came running and immediately took Ivon in his arms and started to cry. Ivon was still unable to process everything. The existence of Adonis on earth was something out of a fantasy book so he was still unable to accept the reality. He was in great shock.

"Master.. hic..hic..master!! I'm so sorry. I'm a terrible butler who can't even protect his master. I'm so ashamed of myself. Hic..hic.."

Ivon touched his head and patted him after a long time. It was only a week since he returned to earth but it felt like years to him. He was also sad and frustrated that he was unable to bring Adonis with him. He left like a master who failed to play his role as a good master.

"I'm sorry too. Forgive me to leave you behind like that. I'm a failure."

"No master. I'm the one who failed. Master. Do you have any idea how it felt to bury your body with my own two hands? Master, I wanted to kill myself back then. Hic…hic.. Please don't do this to me ever again. Please don't leave me. I will die for sure if you put me in that situation. I don't want to touch your cold body ever again!!!"

Adonis grabbed his legs and started to cry in the middle of the street which attracted too much attention. But he didn't see that Neul's father was already standing in the crowd seeing his son cry and an unknown man who looked nothing like a man from Asia was rolling around his legs crying.

He never saw his son cry before as if he lost everything but he was unable to move his legs. He left an unknown chain wrapped around his legs which was telling him that his son no longer exists. His soul was telling him that if he moves forward, he will also lose his son forever and he can never find him. If he says still, he would have the chance to see his son from afar to calm his heart. Which wasn't enough for him but it was his only way.

He neglected him so much that he was long gone. All he could see from now was his back which would keep getting further and further and there would be a day when he could no longer see his back anymore in the crowd.

He was born to blend in the crowd so, there were no memories of him within the family from the very beginning. He was an extra that people notice when it's not there. A shadow that loses its value when the sun is down.

Just like that, the sun set and the extra lost its value just like a shadow in the dark. They neglected him so much that he walked too far away where they had no choice but to let him go. The rope that kept a family all together was just a thin thread to Neul that stretched too long.

If they pull it, it will snap. So, they had no choice but to let it go.

The father stood there like a statue when the unknown man cried like he lost something important than him and then he found it back. It was crying in happiness where the father was staring at him with no feelings inside his heart but sharp pain. He lost something really valuable that he never knew existed.

That day, he saw his son walk away with that man wearing a smile on his face but still he was unable to move or speak. He lost a part of his soul that used to hide under his heart's shadow and now he feels empty.

A teardrop came out of his eye…

…

Adonis's POV:

The portal was dragging both of them so fast that the time wasn't ticking at all. Adonis looked at his pocket watch and saw the time was stuck for dimension travel.

"Adonis!! Is this a portal that leads to a different world?"

"I trust my master with my soul."

The portal was so long and they spent hours travelling inside of it. But in reality, they spend a millisecond to travel between two galaxies. The portal soon came to an end and Adonis landed on a place filled with trees.

The forest looked well-maintained and the roads were paved well. Suddenly, he saw a man wearing coat-like clothes but with a chain on them. His shoes looked like they weren't made of leather and a small dog-like creature was walking along with him on a leash.

They were walking in a place called a park.

Welis was shocked to see that there was no mana around him and its presence was so light that it was nearly unrecognizable. It was a different world.

Adonis took out his handbook and started to follow some tips that his master gave him a few months ago. It was a small hand note that he wrote to give him a small tip to blend with an unknown society.

So, my master knew that I'll be coming here so he gave me this notebook and told me to open it after I travel. He's really something else.

"Adonis. What is this place…"

"This place is called earth. And this country is called South Korea. We are in Mokpo now. And from his handnote, I guess my master is in Seoul."

Adonis looked around and saw the people around him looked different. They all had dark black hair with black pointy eyes. They weren't tall above 6 feet so Adonis looked like an electric pole there. As for Welis, his new body was an ordinary person's body but on earth, she was a beauty. The natural brown hair and eyes were a sign of beauty.

"Looks like both of us are attracting too much attention. We need to go hiding for now."

"But how?" Welis asked.

Adonis cast an invisibility spell on them without answering and followed the path to the city. He looked around and saw buildings but they were a little different from one in Navaka.

The cars in the street looked the same as one in Navaka but they were advanced and the speed was much faster than them.

It looked the same as Navaka but advanced.

"Looks like master was familiar with these from before. I need to get used to it as well."

Adonis read the indications on the handnote and saw his next step. It was to create an ID for himself.

But where…

Suddenly, he remembers something really important that his master passed down to him. Some cheat skills that his master doesn't even use. And his current situation was perfect for using one of his cheat skills.

The absolute memory read.

It's a skill that helps the user to view a person's memory from A to Z with physical contact. It doesn't harm the person but it hurts the caster because of the sudden increase of knowledge and memories inside the brain.

It may cause light headaches and stomach pain but it will heal in a minute or two.

"I need to take the chance."

He walked around the street with Welis and saw people around them had no mana. Not even a drop of it. Some people had it but a small portion of it. But they never cultivated it.

Looks like magic doesn't exist here like my master said. We have to be careful about using magic in public.

And then, he saw a woman passing by with lots of mana inside her body. She cultivated her mana but the way of doing it wasn't right. So he targeted her and put her to sleep inside an alley. The skill was applied to her and for that, Adonis got more information than he expected. He just unlocked a big secret of earth.

So he laughed and said, "I better say my thanks to this human for giving me such useful information. I am sure my master is going to praise me and never leave me alone."

He erased the woman's memory and said, "Welis. We're going to Seoul and take something back before we make our appearance in front of my master."
