The Author Is Speechless

A few days later in college…

Viktor came inside his class and took a seat where he usually sits. He quickly put his phone out of his pocket and started to play a game.

It was an old game that he used to play back in college.

At that moment, a professor came in and slammed his tablet on the table. The screen shattered into pieces quickly. The whole class became silent at his sudden act.

"Viktor E. North!! Stand up!!"

His loud voice quickly went inside his ears and took off his earphone. He was a little surprised to hear him scream out of nowhere.

"Didn't I just tell you to stand up? Why are you still on your phone?"

He put his phone back and stood up without any hesitation.

"You skipped a week of classes. You were only given 2 days of leave. But you skipped for 7 days!! Where were you? Who's going to take care of your semester classes!!!"

Viktor looked at the others and saw that they were all laughing. Some of them were feeling satisfied because they never liked Viktor. To their eyes, he was someone that looked like he cheated and got a free pass in college because of his brother.

He wasn't a worthy opponent to them.

Viktor then said, "I was a little busy."

For some reason, he wasn't in the mood that day so he just manipulated his mind and made him shut his mouth. He made him think that skipping classes isn't something unnatural.

Viktor took his seat quickly and put his head down on the desk to rest a little bit. After a long time, he felt like his past-self mindset was coming back to him.

His inhuman, emotionless and machine-like thoughts were coming out all over again.

His mind again made him think, ```What's the point of restarting college life when you're already gone through it two times? Why are you studying with children when you're supposed to look for the way inside the elemental guardian realm? Why are you delaying the search for Mors and making a deal with him? Why are you sitting here in a classroom full of kids when you're an adult? How long are you going to keep pretending? How long do you intend to neglect your duties?```

Viktor rubbed both his hands against his face and then left the class without asking permission from the professor. For his magic effect, he just ignored Viktor and continued his lecture.

Viktor was already out of college and on his way out of Korea. Since he had a connection with Adonis, he quickly sensed that Viktor was leaving without telling anyone. So he quickly left his office and started to follow Viktor.

'It's been a while since I had the idea of ending everything. What's wrong with me all of a sudden?'

After flying for a few hours, he landed on a beach with dark sand. The sun was just rising there from the horizon then.

'As I thought, Elesis is finally making his move.'

At that moment, a young man who looked nearly like Viktor but with different eyes walked closer to him. His white short hair and pure red eye with golden rings in them were so beautiful that they almost charmed Viktor.

The reason why Viktor was aimlessly flying and came to an unknown place was all Elesis's plan. He was controlling him with his magic.

"It's been a while since we saw each other. How are you, Viktor?"

Viktor smiled a little and replied, "Yes, it's been so long. I'm doing quite well."

The awakened silence was eating his mind in anxiety, but he kept his cool and again said, "You've become really powerful. I couldn't even feel your magic. Did you eat a dragon god or something?"

"Hahaha!!!! You haven't changed even a little after you died 3 times. Anyway, I told you that I'll come to meet you after a century?"

'So he's going to play that part. Works for me.'

"Yes, I was very nervous when I suddenly became a kid. But my life in that fantasy world was really great thanks to you. Tell me, how can I repay you?"

Elesis gave off an angel-like smile and said, "I don't want anything from you but something really valuable."

"May I ask what that thing is?" Viktor asked.

"Hmmm. I wonder…"

Out of nowhere, Viktor's body suddenly became frozen because of some unknown magic. The texture, the odd aura and the way of casting it was definitely not his magic. So he looked through the reason and found out the interference of a 3rd party.

He was receiving help from a devil god called Lucifer. But since he had no access to any God's record but his creator, he couldn't look through his intentions.

'It's forbidden to help a God candidate in his succession battle but for some reason, Elesis is receiving help. It's not fair.'

But that level of magic was nothing compared to Viktor's. He moved his finger and the whole effect of the powerful magic wore off.

He was trying to act cool because Adonis was watching from afar.

"I see. You already have cultivated your new core. No wonder my magic didn't work on you."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you but you don't seem to realise something. The moment you walked closer to me, you already went under my magic spell."

Viktor clapped his hand for once and his surroundings became frozen. It was a time magic spell that the Guardian of time uses.

"How…how did you do that!! You haven't even met that bitch! How did you learn how to cast time spells??"

At that moment, the time guardian walked out of the mountains and said, "Hii baby!!! How are you doin..oh.. You're a clone. I thought my Elesis baby was here!!"

Elesis was genuinely shocked to see her waving at her and then snuggling with Viktor. Everything was going all over his head.

Viktor pushed her from his body and then said, "You're missing something here."

A small necklace was hanging around her neck and then he immediately knew what kind of chain it was. It was a slave necklace that Viktor bought from Navaka so many years ago. But it was more powerful than the original because he upgraded it.

"How..how did you find her… you didn't even have a full fragment.."

Elesis asked with a frustrated look on his face and again asked, "You'll never win this battle, you devil. You're a monster. I'm quickly sending this information to the head one. I am sure you'll face grave danger very soon."

But he couldn't use any magic near him. He was under the influence of Viktor's time spell. "Don't worry. You're just a clone. So just die and warn that pretty brother of mine. `I hope we don't see each other soon. It's too early to have a chat`."

The clone turned into ash and became one with the shore. The girl who was clinging to him smiled and said, "I thought you would wage war already. But it seems like you're way more patient than I heard of. You're more than a devil."

Viktor moved her hand from his chest and said, "I'll take that as a compliment for now. Adonis, you can come out."

Adonis flinched a little and then said, "I made sure to cast a powerful magic to hide my presence. Looks like I can never hide from you, master."

The girl who was clinging to him saw Adonis and knelt right away. His aura and his presence were no joke.

He was also a God candidate who can match with Elesis without any problem. He was also powerful as Viktor.

"I surrender in front of my lord."

"Hm? Aren't you that girl who followed us to E2 world a few days ago to investigate us? No wonder I was getting his ticklish feelings around my body. You were captured by my master before I could even think of looking through this matter. How amusing."

Viktor tapped on his back and said, "This is the formal guardian of Time. Since she's no longer a guardian, she threw her name and told me to give her a new one. I still haven't given it a thought about it."

"So she surrendered and gave you her fragment, master?"

"Yes, it was quite a delicious one. I can now travel in the past, even the future without any problem as long as I don't break the law. My own fragment has also upgraded and I can see a person's 20,000 years of future now. It's 100 times greater than her original one."

She became quiet after hearing his words. She was so frustrated but there was nothing left to do. It was a huge mistake to follow Viktor and Adonis when they were walking inside a suspicious portal. For her wrong decision, she had to sacrifice her fragment and retire from her post.

"Master, it's getting late."

"Hm… let's go back. I skipped my class for that clone bastard. Adonis, we're learning quantum theories of God's realm today. Don't expect me to go easy on you."

"But master, I just learned 1+1=11 today."

"Yes. That's why."

Adonis suddenly got a chill around his body and his hands became cold. His body was telling him that a grave danger was on its way so he had to run away as far as he could. He was about to face hellish mathematical terms.

He was already dead from seeing the grin on Viktor's face.
