The Author Is Speechless

A soul space is an empty place that all guardians have within their souls. It's a very personal space that a guardian uses to hide, cultivate or rest.

A vast space that only a guardian can enter and when he enters, the time outside the world slows down to zero. So technically, if a guardian stays a million years inside his soul space, a second will pass in real life.

Not only that, a soul space is a place where people can't talk with their mouths. It's a place where inner thoughts are used as the communication method so a person can't really lie or hide anything.

Also, a guardian can't use other forms inside his soul space. His real appearance is revealed when he's inside a soul space and he can take only one person inside by any physical contact. So Adonis was able to go inside Viktor's soul space and got to know who his master really was.

…

"Adonis? Why are Rae and Welis coming with me?"

Viktor was shocked to see that both of them were tagging along with them too. They were on the same call as him from 9 am to 2 pm.

"To look after you. I can't stay with my master for 24 hours so I need those two to keep an eye on you."

My heart is still throbbing that I have to sacrifice my sleep and now, those idiots are also coming to annoy me for 5 years.

Why… I just graduated from the best magic academy a decade ago then why do you have to select a damn college for me all over again… I want to sleep.

Viktor's eyes became teary after thinking about his life and 'assignments'.

"Adonis…I don't want to…"

"What is it, master ?"

Adonis stopped him from speaking with his quick question and stared at him with a devilish smile and angel-like eyes. He looked like he was so pissed off so Viktor said that he had nothing to say.

"That's very good, master. I will tell the servant to warm your bath water. You look like you skipped a week of shower."

How did he know-_-...

Adonis took the tablet from Viktor's hand and said, "Master, I think you should go to the dojo next to our house. You may find some kids who will be joining this semester with you."

"No, I don't have time to play around with kids. Stay here and have a chess match with me."

"It's my pleasure, master."

…

The day dawned.

This room is really luxurious. The high ceiling, expensive showpieces around the room and a huge painting probably from the 1700 century is really making the room look like it's a king's room.

The whole mansion was quiet because it was late at night. Adonis went somewhere after his duty was over so the other workers of the house were asleep. The house gave off a vibe as if it was haunted.

Viktor went out of his room and closed the door slowly to walk around the house because he felt something interesting when he walked in.

This house is really big and it will take me an hour to finish my tour. Ugh… I never wanted a house this big but it seems like Adonis liked it.

He never liked small houses because it makes him feel insecure. But for my request, he stayed in my tiny apartment back in Navaka. But this time, he picked the huge house.

Hah.. sometimes, I can't even understand his motive even though I can read his record.

Viktor walked out of the hallway and saw the entrance of the house. The massive glass chandelier wasn't on but the light from outside was reflecting on it. The statues downstairs looked so real that he went there to check if it was really alive or not.

I watched Adonis' clones too much that these statues are lowering my trust issues. I have to ask Adonis to move them into a different room.

But, why do I feel like someone is standing behind me…

Viktor looked behind and saw a statue near the guestroom path holding a book but looking in a different direction. It was clearly indicating something.

But why did it feel like someone was standing behind me?

Was it a curse-_-?

Viktor went in the direction that the statue was pointing at and saw nothing but an empty wall with a picture hanging on it. The picture was old but it was more peculiar than any other paintings in the mansion.

Is this a game of maze or escape room? Do I have to find a secret treasure or something?

Viktor grabbed the painting and took it off to see if there was something behind and strangely, there was a tiny switch.

He was annoyed. So he punched the wall in anger and the switch broke by making an electric spark.

"Piece of shit."

The wall was thinner than any other wall so it shattered into small pieces and a door appeared. Without wasting a second, he walked into the room and found something strange. It was a room that the previous chairman used to run illegal human experiments. It was also a room for torture.

"Haha.. No wonder why I felt like something was standing behind me. It was the curses that stayed inside the room because they died an abnormal death.

Viktor cast a purification spell all over the room to erase the curse and a golden light came out of his body. It went all over the dirty room filled with human body parts and filth.

The spell cleared all the curses that were locked in the room but the bodies were something that had to be burned or cleaned out.

Now, what am I going to do with these bodies?

Suddenly, a human head caught his eyes and it reminded him of someone really interesting.

With a devilish smile, he grabbed the separated head's hair and said, "Well, well, well. What do we have here? Isn't this my 'Stepmother'?"

He quickly took out the record of his stepmother and saw how she ended up in the middle of the hybrid business.

..

About a year ago, the stepmother of Ivon found out that Ivon died and he was a famous writer. So she guessed that his bank account might be jacked with tons of money.

At that time, she already disowned him as his son but the papers weren't verified.

She took that chance and became his mother in illegal ways to reclaim all the money that he earned.

But there was no evidence on Ivon's id that she was his mother and the bank can't hand over money to any stranger until a verified spouse comes. So, she was left with no choice but to ask for help in the black market.

Ivon wasn't an idiot either.

He never saved his money in his name because he used a different identity that he secretly bought from Russia. All of the money that he earned from his book and online gambling was in switch back.

So there was no way to withdraw the money for her.

She offered a million and told the hacker from a black market that she would pay 30% from that account but the hacker found out there was nothing in his account.

As the extra payment, the black market holders took her head and all her properties. And after that, she was body became a part of a human experiment.

Viktor laughed and threw her head towards the wall in happiness. The skull smashed into the wall and all the inner parts of the brain shattered all over the place.

One of her eyes rolled closer to his feet.

"Master, why aren't you sleeping?"

Adonis came inside the room and looked around. He was shocked to see there was a hidden room in the house.

"Oh, you're back home already?"

Viktor wiped his hand with his handkerchief and again said, "This place is a mess."

"Yes, master. And they are all rotten so I can't eat them as food."

"Do you still like raw human flesh?"

"Habit dies hard, master."

"I see."

Viktor took a seat on a rusty chair and said, "Adonis, make a list of people who went missing, died an abnormal death and found body parts. And contact the Hybrid association in England and ask for recent casualties related to Hybrids."

"Master, you promised me that you will not do any work."

Viktor frowned his eyebrows and said,

"Don't forget that I'm in the middle of a long-term mission which is going on for seven hundred thousand years. If I sit and idle around, it will be a waste of time. And this is also my duty as a guardian to do so."

Adonis realised that he misspoke and said, "I apologize, master. I will prepare the files immediately. Pardon my idiotic way of thinking. This humble servant of yours will take his leave."

Viktor lit a cigarette and exhaled the smoke towards a hanging human body part beside him.

The room looked like a pig slaughtering house.

"I won't get sleep in my eyes after seeing these for a week."

Fu***...
