The Dragon of Dreams - Chapter 415: Eyes on the Horizon

*Slow Burn Historical Fantasy Novel*

Elise had about to change into the dress that was lying on the corner of her bed when she heard a knock lightly calling from her door. Curious, she turned the door knob only to have a tall man towering in front of her.

“Master Ian!” She called.

Ian smiled with the usual mischievous smirk that he always used. His crimson eyes trailing a little over her room and spotted the black dress over her bed and shifted his eyes over to the woman in front of him. He stepped forward and spoke. “Where did you acquire that dress?”

“Mr. Harland gave it to me.” Elise replied and strained her neck to see Ian’s brows knitted in its elegance.

“Do you know why a man would love to give a woman a dress?” He gave the riddle that she always had to think twice before replying. But this time, she found no answer and instead shook her head. “I don’t know.”

His grin grew bewitching as though something had stirred deep inside the scarlet eyes that he had. He slowly slid his hand over the collar of her dress, sending a cold shiver that startled her for a moment due to its freezing temperature. After unbuttoning the first two buttons on her collar, he tilted his head down, whispering to her ears. “Because they want to be the one to undress the cloth.”

He paused and kissed her neck, turning the pale skin to red before retracting his move to fix his eyes on her and leisurely replied. “Unfortunately, you can’t wear the dress over there with this.” He chuckled and passed a box over to her hand. “And the fortunate news is I prepared a dress for you.”

Elise was a cursed little girl who could see ghosts. Her family hated her and threw her from one adoptive family to another. However, misfortune didn't act alone. When she was brought up by her aunt, she was sold as a slave. When she had thought she would become nothing but a sacrifice to the sorcerer, she was saved by a man whose identity was far different than a normal mythical being.

When the apocalypse descended upon Earth, Erix's fate took a chilling turn when he was bitten by a zombie while asleep. But unlike others, he defied the looming death and transformation, clinging to his humanity with unyielding determination. What emerged from the ashes was extraordinary—a Hybrid Zombie with intellect intact.

In this new world, where the planet's evolution was driven by enigmatic Labyrinth Towers that appeared overnight, everything changed. The landscape transformed, and beings, both flora and fauna, evolved dramatically. People discovered the means to gain power by hunting monsters, exploring diverse dungeons, acquiring unique skills, unlocking exotic classes, and engaging in global events.

Amid this chaos, only a single law remained supreme: the law of the jungle, where only those with power, determination, and wits could reach and reign at the top.

Yet, Erix was not alone in his odyssey. His fiercely devoted girlfriend, Rin, matched his ruthlessness and recklessness at every turn. Together, they embarked on an extraordinary journey fueled by their intense love, unbridled ambition, and hunger for power as they birthed grand ambitions in this new horizon.

Join this outlandish duo as they navigate treacherous obstacles, confront formidable adversaries, and carve a path to dominance in their world and beyond, where the only rule is survival of the fittest. In a landscape of chaos and evolution, their story unfolds into a thrilling adventure like no other.
