The Author Is Speechless-Chapter 35: Taboo

Somewhere in the floating library in Viktor's Lucid dream.

I guess I am going to stay in this dream today. I was really tired after the 30 minutes cardigan ride. I can still feel my butt screaming in pain.

The dream realm was really huge with 4D empty bookshelves. There was no end to it. Only a big iron door in the middle of the library premises.

Suddenly, an alarming sound came into his ears and he stopped his game.

"Tsk! I was finally able to corner myself in this and they are attacking me how. I have to wake up or my autopilot mode will kill everyone.

…

"Spare me!! I didn't do anything!!!!"

He woke up in the middle of some unknown hallway and saw a man under him begging to leave him alone. He was speechless…

When did I walk all the way from my room? And I don't see Adonis around me. Did I manage to walk here by hiding my presence?

"Please spare me! Hic.. hic.."

"Oi, what's your name?"

"I'm.. Trevor. I am sorry, I was simply following the orders. I didn't do anything!"

Following orders he says. The duke doesn't have any grudge against me. He doesn't even know me. My presence in this house doesn't create any problems except for one person.

"Is the mistress of this house sent to poison me in my sleep?"

"I..c. can't tell you. Or my family will be killed. So please let me kill you. Please."

I don't want any enemies right now. And it's the noble family. It's something that I don't want to mess with.

And there are 6 years left until the story's official beginning. So, it is unnecessary for me to get involved with the noble society.

"Master, you've caught a rat I see!"

"Oh, you're finally awake Adonis, did you call Nor?"

"Yes."

He gave a devilish smile to the servant that he peed in his pants. He was trembling in fear because of Adonis's dangerous aura.

Now all of her work will be exposed tonight. And I don't even care if she dies. It has nothing to do with me.

The mistress of the duke was the main culprit in killing all the branch family members and the guild helped her to continue scamming business for all these years.

In the early morning, the duke called his guards and locked her in the underground jail and all of her illegal business came in front.

In just 2 days, the guild was shut down and the mistress of the house was sentenced to death by separating her head.

It was 2 days for the duke, but it was a whole book for Viktor. He wrote everything in detail in his book as if he was watching a drama.

The day the duke slapped her and ordered his guards to drag her out, the day all the guild members were exposed, the day her head flew out of her body, everyone was watching and talking about it. Some people were sad, some people were happy, and some people didn't care what was going on, except for two people.

Viktor and Adonis were always at the backstage, looking at what was going on. They were witnessing the days like watching a show from the backseat. But no one noticed anything except the mistress.

She saw the devious smile of Adonis the moment before her head separated. When the dark cloudy sky started to make rumbling sounds of thunder, she saw a grim reaper with a person with no face beside him. And she knew it all along.

The day they went inside the house, she felt her soul snap apart from somewhere.

It was Adonis who marked her as his prey. She was already dead.

They say people can see the real face of a person before death…

"Thank you for the food."

Adonis mumbled when her headless body stopped moving like a fish out of the water. The rain started to pour heavily which made all the blood wash into the drainage. The people who gathered around the punishment stage to see the death of the woman, left in a hurry. The morning became like a cold winter evening with uncomfortable freezing rain.

"Let's go, the investigation in our house is over."

Viktor said while he left the premises with a bag in his hand.

The rain was pouring heavily, but both of them were dry like the rain wasn't touching them.

"Master, your exam is in 3 days."

"Yes, it's best to sleep for 3 days -_-."

"Yes, master. What should we cook for dinner?"

"Pot pie?"

They became lost in the foggy alley while talking about dinner. After that, Nor forgot about Viktor's existence for Adonis's memory erasing spell. Their existence of them became a stranger to them in just one night. There was no record in the house about Viktor who came to visit for a month but left after 2 days.

But it cost something big in exchange for erasing memories.

A pearl from the hot spring. A pearl that contained the power to run a whole aeroplane for months was used in a second to erase memory.

It's a taboo in mother nature.

To change the flow of time, bring back a person alive from his death and erase a living being's memory. These are the strict rules made by God. It's dangerous because if something wrong happens, it can take a person's life.

But the rules don't apply to Viktor. Because he's already dead and the crest on his body is always protecting him. So, he helped Adonis to erase the memories from the people's brains.

It was a great idea to pick up some pearls from the hot spring. Who knew I'll waste one in just a second? If I see something powerful next time, I'll just put everything inside my dimensional pocket.

I have more than a thousand left, so I don't think I have to worry about running out of dark mana for a year. I can use them as I want.
