"I say, we fight." Contrary to his usual, calm demeanour, Pavlo seemed to be extremely energetic today. Going even as far as smalling his fist against the table, he made me worried whether he was actually mature enough to do business with me. "But in an open fight, they could just squish us dry. We might be somewhat influential, but its Sarate family that we are talking about here." Shaking his head, the patriarch of the Baskar family pointed out before adding. "They are too rich for us to…-

"That will be all?" It would be easier to call me a mule rather than a human at this point. With bags hanging down from every part of my body, one could be mistaken to think that I already took care of everything. In fact, a huge pile of boxes still remained by the side. Thankfully, those were yet to be checked in and unnecessary in the first part of my project. Meaning, with all the stuff that I already carried to the basement, the last batch that I manned-up and picked up all at once would let me…

There was one good point about the time flow between earth and Ayda's world returning to normal. While everyone thought that I spent yet another night full of prayers and chants in the heart of the crypt, I could genuinely relax in Ayda's loving embrace through the night. Revitalised with her charms and energy and after a good night of sleep afterwards, returning to earth didn't seem like such a huge burden like it usually was. Especially with how I couldn't wait to see what effects would my previous…

"May the blessing of our Lord be with you all." Looking at the relatively huge crowd that gathered below the stage, I allowed my lips to form a slight, ironic smile. The way in which I started the rite was something I actually thought quite a lot about. Because I didn't openly claim who the lord I was referring to was. Starting off, in this new era of magic and wonders, who could've known if I openly started praying to ultimately a devil? Being quite a religious person before the apocalypse, I didn't…

"From the woodworks, I will need several planks of the KH-four-zero-three standard and at least fifty of meters squared of the building foil." Writing those words as I spoke them on a professionally looking notepad with special padding underneath it, I cast a quick glance towards the official behind the desk. As simple the office within this container unit could be to the eyes, there was no denying that it was designed by a genius. Over the several days that passed ever since I returned from Ayda's…

"Either way, you still need to get going soon. If I calculated the time properly, then your freeze will end soon, right?" Gracing me with one of her usual smiles, Ayda allowed me to see how far did she go from the simple yet crafty girl I met all the way back at the market. Her smile, despite being just like usual, showcased that she fully opened herself for me. In this smile, I could drown. But I couldn't stop myself from feeling as if there was a distant echo of sadness and disappointment ringing in…

"Well, it is worth the shot at the very least." I would have to lie to tell that this idea didn't appear in my head beforehand. With how I was easily capable of moving the stuff between the worlds, it was only obvious that sooner or later, I would have to try moving some living people as well. Be it for the sake of comfortably amassing all the important people to me in one, secure place, or even if only for the sake of pragmatic approach, this step was something that was simply too obvious to not think…

The night came surprisingly fast. Maybe it was just my warped perception of time, maybe the heat of the battle or maybe just how I immersed myself in making love with Ayda. No matter the reason, once my mind properly cleared out, the sun no longer cast its rays through the window of our room. "You are not sleeping yet?" Her body wrapped around my side was a source of strangely soothing warmth. For this girl, the entire day had to look quite strange. From a hot session of love interrupted by an invasion,…

"Done. That was surprisingly easy…" There was an obvious meaning behind what Ayda said. And what kind of a man would I be if I didn't provide for what seemed to be a dear wish of her?" "Explaining it properly could be tough for me for now, but let's say I have a method to move between my homeland and this place in an instant." It was quite obvious that his story was - to a degree - a lie. Even if he could move between places without a second of delay, it remained a fact that the change to his outfit…

"Wha…" Not even capable of fully reacting to the sudden change that happened right before her eyes with how the enemies were just a hand's reach away, Ayda could only stare at the sudden change of my appearance. Or at one of the enemies that was reaching for my throat with a knife, equally as surprised by the unexpected event as Ayda. "Go." There was no way for me to remember what were my last words in this world before I was forcefully pulled away. And in the current situation, there wasn't all that…
