"May God be with you." "Thanks, Priest!''Frederick bowed his head slightly while signalling Parth to follow suit. Raising his chin, Frederick asked curiously"Sir, I don't see Priest Joseph out here. Where is he?" "Priest Joseph! He is a busy man who runs errands for the Lord and loiters around following Lord's guidance."The Priest replied with a smile. "Did you two come here looking for him at this hour?" "No…No. We were just passing by here so we decided to pray to the Lord and beg mercy for…

It was already dawn when they finished off the things. They moved the children to Heilford Orphanage first and decided to check them on the missing list. "Oh, my God!" Heilford burst into tears seeing them. Running at the group of familiar figures, he pulled them into his embrace and cried for a long time after which he immediately started to make arrangements for them. This was really a heart-touching moment. The tension that had been prevailing in the orphanage due to the missing children had…

It was late. It was too late to swing the sword or draw out the gun. Even if he uses shadow steps to get behind the monster and hit it, the line of sight of its sharp claws would not deviate much. The entire area was dark without much light. So there was no shadow nearby to jump into. That means at least one kid will die if he doesn't act now. He needed to do something. It was his fault that he failed to notice an ominous presence. Gnashing his teeth, he activated flash steps and pulled himself…

"Haaa..Ha…Hush…" The man took a mouthful of air and looked at the building in front of him. "I...I will live.'' A glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. The man's face was pale as if he had lost half of his blood. Even though he was unawakened, he ran with a speed comparable to an early awakened without a break that his heart was on the verge of bursting out. The man managed to reach the destination safely under the Devil's order. "I lived...They asked me to lead the way. I have done my work…

Except for the sound of sobbing filled with agony, other sounds ceased to exist. Lucas's eyes flashed with an unknown glint as Jay cried in his arms. He could feel the loneliness and trauma overshadowing the boy's life. He had also been alone. He had also been afraid. But it was not to such a degree that affected him drastically. Even though he faced some risky situations, there were always people who were warm to him, and at least he hadn't gone through torture and starvation. It did not matter…

As soon as the headless corpse fell on the ground, the man's ears caught a stifling sound. TAP! TAP!TAP!TAP! A sense of ominousness arose as the sound of steps echoed. Unknown to him, fear stabbed his heart. Sweat prickled over his skin, dizzying the sense of reason. The hands holding the boy loosened up seeing a distant figure. In his sight, a guy walking steadily appeared. From the dimly lit corner, a pair of beastly golden eyes similar to a predator looking at prey reflected in his…

Annoying voices rang around the orphanage. There were squeaks, cries, and laughter hitting the eardrums one after another making everyone dizzy. "Hey, hey stop running." "Mary, don't bully the girls." "Lego stop hitting him. I will punish you otherwise?" Lucas felt his head throb as he oversaw dozens of shabby-dressed children moping around. Turning around, he saw Frederick bribing the children to keep quiet by showering them with coins. "Stop throwing money, Frederick, "Lucas screamed, making…

The smartphone screen flashed with the onslaught of messages one after another, seeing which Lucas sighed. "Haaa!" "Sir, is there a problem?" A soft husky voice rang from outside. "No, everything is fine. When will we arrive?" "Within an hour?" "Drive slowly. The road is quite bumpy." Advising the coachman, his eyes darted at the series of messages. The messages were typed hurriedly but the underlying sweetness and hidden concern in it could be felt with a glance. Lucas propped up his chin…

A week of restlessness and anxiety finally passed away, letting everyone heave in relief. The long arduous journey of giving written exams was finally over. The students were given a week to choose the mission and prepare themselves mentally. Since Lucas had already registered for the mission, he decided to prepare some things to deal with unexpected situations. Slouching onto his chair again, Lucas prayed to hear the faraway cathedral's bells chime that continued seven times and then picked a…

"Afraid of losing that much?" A soft voice echoed in his ears. CLANK!CLANK!CLANK! A familiar chime rang. Pulling his arm, the rattling sound stopped and a metallic ring echoed in the air. Swish! The tip pointed at him blurred before his eyes, turning into countless overlapped images stabbing his chest multiple times all over his body. "As you see, no matter how hard you try, you are destined to lose. Some opponents can't be beaten no matter the effort." "Kyakkkk" Letting out an agonising…
