*Splak!* "That's three of these stinky nests down," Rufus said as he used his spear to strike down a bubble of dark black mana, which diffused away upon his attack. "As per the quest, we have to find 7 more. Let us get the rest and get this over with. I am not feeling too good standing in this rotten subway," Rose said as she wrinkled her nose. "With the help of my mana light, we can easily find the rest," Kenny proudly said as his spear's blade brightly shone with an orange light that was bright enough…-

"A quest?" Asher had his suspicions before, but now he was sure that Demons also receive quests just like Hunters. According to humans, it was the angels giving quests to humans to give them a chance to protect their world. So for Demons, who was giving these quests? 'A limited quest?' Asher's thoughts focused as he knew a limited quest like this one would be first come, first serve, and seeing these rewards which can benefit him, he accepted it in his mind before someone else could. He also…

Asher did get his vision back, but he was seeing everything in shades of green, dark to light, or in between. But what shocked him more was the place he was standing in. He was no longer standing in his room or even the castle but in a strange hellish, deserted, rocky place that was hot enough to melt iron instantly. However, Asher was not at all bothered by the heat and instead looked around with a stupified face. There were no skies above but only an endless mirror that reflected the hellish land…

Rowena and Ceti had left while the servants also cleaned up the room along with the assassin's corpse. But Igrid furrowed his brows as he noticed that Asher was still sweating and his body temperature wasn't going down even though all his physical injuries were healed. Asher could see that Igrid was feeling suspicious about his condition and quickly asked to distract him, "I have one question. Why did you sigh when Rowena ordered his death?" Igrid raised his brows, not expecting the Royal Consort to be…

Asher saw the royal physician, who was an old man, and it seemed as if he rushed here after waking up in the middle of the night without even properly sorting his clothes out. Asher was barely enduring the pain the ring was giving him but forced himself to put up a composed expression as he saw the physician come closer. The royal physician looked at Asher as he sat beside him and gave him a gentle smile, "Your Highness has nothing to worry. Since Your Highness may not recognize this old man's face, my…

'Is this it?' Asher thought as he saw the fist of death just a breath away from crushing his face in. In that split second, Asher felt as if the entire world around him had frozen as he thought, 'No…why should I die again unfairly? What did I do to deserve this?' Dark memories of the 'crippled' Asher also surfaced in his mind as uncontrollable rage and hatred flooded his mind. All he wanted was to send this assassin to hell. *Hnnnnmm…* Suddenly he heard a subtle humming sound coming from his right…

Asher was taken aback as he saw that his HP decreased without him doing anything or anything happening to him. Even if it was only a single point, it alarmed him since this was weird. Something like this shouldn't happen on its own. His first thought was if he was poisoned, but then again, he would have known if he was poisoned. He waited a few minutes just to make sure, but nothing happened. The fact that his HP wasn't decreasing after losing that single point also proved that his body wasn't harmed…

"Quick, I don't have all day to keep watching you undress like a snail," Asher said as he patted on the bed, making Ceti mutter inwardly in a cutting tone, 'It's not like you have anything better to do, pervert.' She wanted to say this aloud, but after knowing how twisted the tongue of this rascal was, she just couldn't risk it anymore. Rowena shook her head with a sigh of disappointment as she turned around to walk out the door. "Rowena, don't go out already. Please stay because what if she tries to…

Asher felt that this was something he would have to find out himself later. But remembering the blurry memories in his head, the reason Ceti said matched with what he saw. "It is just as she said. My father, for some reason, entrusted me with your life. So whether you like it or not, you can't leave this castle without my say-so. If you want anything, there will always be servants around here to help you," Rowena said as she got up and walked towards the door to leave. "Wait!" Asher called out as Rowena…

Asher followed the Demon Queen while Ceti kept shooting glares at him. He felt like this woman needed to know her place. But ignoring her, he felt that so far, this Demon Queen was better than he expected. She didn't seem to throw contemptuous remarks at him like the others and seemed reasonable so far. He felt as if getting a wife like her might be the only compensation for all the bad things that were still happening to him in this world. He didn't care why though he was glad since he could use this to…
