Alexander's strategy to display the heads of his enemies was a tried and tested technique, with many examples not only in this time period but also in Alexander's previous life. With perhaps one of the most seasoned practitioners of this tactic being the Mongols, who had most famously built a literal pyramid of skulls of 80,000 men, women, and children when they slaughtered the entire Khwarazmian empire to the last man, It was said that that pyramid lasted for nearly a century and the stink spread…-

Somehow, it feels like it's her fault that she died too early. Wakana bites her lower lip. Well, it's her fault. What is happening in the world anyway? Martha walks away from them. She needs to attend to other ghosts. Kwon Kyuri narrows her eyes on Martha. Once the reaper is away, she turns to Wakana. "Did you hear that? Si An has already taken birth. He's waiting for me." "I did hear that." Wakana gives her an awkward smile. "But you can't leave." "Of course, I shouldn't leave." Kwon Kyuri's voice is…-

"When I was alive, I could feel other people's emotions. I don't know why but I have full control over my abilities now. If I want to feel your emotions, I can choose whether I want to feel them or not." Wakana pauses for a moment to gather her thoughts. "I thought that I loved Sei… when I met Minho, I realized that I would never go that far for Sei. That's how I knew that my love for Sei was shallow. I mean, even you did everything that you could to change the past because you wanted to save Li Jun. I…

"Y-You…!!!" Martha gasps. "The time-traveller!" "Yes, yes." Kyuri nods her head proudly. "Didn't I make you guys overwork? I should have done more." Martha shakes her head. "Why do you look young? You are supposed to die at the age of 98." "Oh, I died at the age of ninety-eight." Kyuri flips her hair. "But I lingered around as a ghost with Si An. We had ghost honeymoons." Martha creases her forehead and looks around. "Is your husband dead too? I can't see him here." "He got the white ticket." Kyuri…

"Certainly." Kyuri gets a shiver down her spine. "I don't think that I could ever forget that thing." "To think that Yoon Miran was carrying it in her mind…" Si An shudders. "The keeper told us that the thing was disposed of." "Where did they dispose of it?" Kyuri wonders. "No, I don't think that I ever want to know." That's true. Of all the evil spirits and anomalies that they dealt with, Hong Yi Hwan had given them a nightmare. Si An gazes at Kyuri. "Say, will we meet the keeper again?" "Who…

"We are ghosts now." Kang Si An scratches his beard. "Should we haunt our great-grandchildren?" Kyuri laughs. "Why should we waste time on them? Let's travel as ghosts. Don't you want to pass through walls?" "Damn it!" Kang Si An widens his eyes. "Why didn't I think of that?" "Because you are dumb." Kyuri flicks his forehead. "You are so lucky that you have me." "Yes, yes, I am lucky." He hugs her tightly and rubs his cheek against hers. "I want you as my wife in every lifetime." "Let me go." She…

"Does your heart skips a beat?" Kang Si An asks, amused. He's getting enlisted for the military. It will be two more years if she doesn't say yes. "Mommy, just say yes." Little Hae frowns at her mother. "Don't make daddy do more. I wake up every day thinking about what's waiting for us." "Don't you like being famous?" Kyuri winks at her. "For being the part of failed proposals?" Little Hae shakes her head. "If Daddy takes all the proposal methods, what will Hyun do?" "Aish! This girl." Kyuri glares at…

"Miran!" He screams once before being completely sucked into the cube in less than the split second. The cube pulsates on the Keeper's pale palm like a living heart. The Keeper puts it inside his sleeve before walking to Kyuri and Si An. He touches the wall and it disintegrates into nothing. Kyuri is holding Kang Si An with her eyes closed. "It's over." The Keeper smiles at them. "Yoon Miran is saved." *** Si An can barely move. Even if it's the dream realm, it hurts like each bone has been broken.…

"What was that?" Kyuri moves closer to Kang Si An instinctively. That sound is scarier than dealing with a time-crystal plant monster's scream. "See the miasma is born from Kwak In-Sik's darkness and unholy near union with Yoon Miran." The Keeper furrows his brow a bit, not losing his calm demeanour. "It's been metamorphosing into something monstrous. Something must have triggered Kwak In-Sik. He wants to merge completely with Yoon Miran's soul forcefully and control her body." The two humans become…

"You are late." Kim Taeho looks at the watch. He's been waiting for more than 20 minutes. "Little Hae slept late." Kyuri lies. "Is she asleep?" "I gave her the sleeping pill like you told me." Kim Taeho doesn't feel good about this. But Kyuri has texted him that giving sleeping pills to Yoon Miran is best. He has also dropped his children at his parents' house. He doesn't know what he's doing either. He's afraid. He knows Miran the best. But he saw something today that was too disturbing for him to…
