The Author Is Speechless

The mealtime was over before 8.

Everyone left right after the dinner was over and headed straight into the training room. They knew they were all short on time so they had to cultivate their Qi. The deadline was near. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Viktor on the otherhand sat with the box that Lucifer had sent. He was curious so he opened the letter first. The letter was sealed with curse magic by Lucifer. He wanted to test his abilities so he put a dangerous magic curse to examine him.

Of course, Viktor knew what kind of curse it was and he avoided getting harmed by using a reverse curse spell on it.

A small trigger sent the information to the sender right away.

Viktor chuckled and said, "That curse was powerful enough to cut off a god’s head. He sure knows how to test people’s abilities."

Adonis, who was standing next to him said, "Master, that curse is similar to my core magic."

"Yes, it’s a magical curse that cuts a person’s head and then turns him into dust. There’s no way back if that person isn’t casting holy magic. He’s head if he’s not aware of what kind of thing he’s dealing with. That sly bastard is pretty much mocking me."

Viktor sighed and hushed, ’Let’s just read the letter.’

"’My fellow child Viktor E. North’.... So my full name has reached his ears. ’I am very impressed to see your achievements in a very short time. You’re very talented which is also making me feel jealous of you.’ Is this a spam mail? His sugarcoated words are very suspicious."

Adonis bent a little at his front to see what the letter said and then complained, "This looks like a money scam which is very popular on the internet."

"Right? But his words aren’t lies. He is really willing to be my spouse even though it’s not permissible to support a demigod before his succession tournament. He got some guts to send me this letter."

Adonis said, "Master, isn’t he that person who’s currently supporting Elesis illegally? And why are the king gods not punishing him? He is clearly violating the laws." He then frowned and sat on Viktor’s table right beside him. "Master, can I read the letter?"

Viktor handed him the letter without saying anything and pulled the box closer to him on the table. The box was so heavy that it made scratches on it. He then said, "Adonis, can you guess what’s inside?"

Adonis then replied immediately, "No clue. It’s sealed with barrier magic. I can use magic to open it but it’s your gift."

Viktor smiled and looked at the box. He then used lock magic to open it and became astonished. Adonis was also speechless to see what was inside.

"These are pure infinite mana stones from the god’s realm. He sent five of them?" Adonis compiled.

"Cheap gifts-_-." Viktor also complained.

"-_-. Master, your mana cores are more powerful than these. I thought god realm mana cores would be very pure and powerful. But it looks like they are just unfiltered petroleum-_-."

"Yes-_-. I can’t believe they are on this level. Or is he just mocking me?"

"I believe so. Can I just go and stomp on his head?" Adonis smiled like a devil and started to roll his sleeves. He was ready to kick his face but Viktor stopped him.

"But master, he wants to support you illegally by giving you these cheap stones!! How can I sit back and control my anger? I want to tear his face apart with my two hands!!"

"Calm down, Adonis-_-. Let’s just send them back with a rejection letter along with a business proposal."

Adonis immediately knelt in front of him and said, "Please continue what you’re about to say."

’He really loves wealth, heheh. As expected of my knight.’ Viktor then smiled and said, "So here’s the plan...."

...A few hours later...

Adonis’ eyes were glowing in excitement. He wasn’t happy because of the letter from Lucifer but when he heard the plan of his master. He then prepared what he was ordered to and wrote a reply letter as well.

The preparation was done.

"Master, I’ve prepared the box you requested. Shall I summon Delkira to your study chamber?"

"Yes, you can call him how. He is inside the greenhouse with Ifrit. They seem to be getting along very well."

"That’s because both of them are the same race and have the same blood ancestors."

"Yes, they are like long distant relatives."

"Then I shall take my leave and bring him here. Enjoy your afternoon, master." After wishing Viktor a happy afternoon, he left the room by closing the door quietly. Viktor was finally free.

He sighed and leaned to his chair to look at the ceiling. The sunlight was entering the room even though the house was situated inside a cave.

The yellow sunlight was reflecting on the hanging ice spears on the ceiling, making a dazzling reflection all over the place.

’The sun feels warm...’

...

In the underworld below the mortal realm, there is a temple called the naming temple. Nobody knows when it was built but the records in history say that it existed in the underworld even before the birth of any gods and any other existences.

It also says that the god of existence was the one who became reality right inside the underworld. It also says that the first thing that was created and came to reality was the underworld. Then the other realms were created one by one in the current order.

As a newborn demigod or god, one has to go to the underworld to name himself in order to create and dominate its territory. It’s also important to name himself to keep his existence and divine Qi in check.

If a god or a demigod doesn’t attain his naming ceremony, he will remain a nameless god and won’t be able to create his territory in the void. He will also not be recognized by the king gods and banished out of the realm of gods.

So, when a god or a demigod is born, they are all sent to the underworld for some time to seal his name on the list. It’s a necessary process and it’s very informative.

Since gods usually don’t have children like humans do, the temple of name is always empty and it receives a guest after billions or years. But this time, the temple will receive 6 guests at a time.

...

Viktor turned the page of someone’s record and became a little shocked. He was already expecting that but facing it in reality, he wasn’t ready for that.

At that time, Adonis entered the room and became too shocked to see Viktor’s reaction while reading someone’s record. He was also shocked that Viktor was shedding tears. "M..master. What’s wrong?"

Viktor’s tears vanished right after they left his chin. He then said, "Adonis, let’s pay a visit to someone."

Adonis was speechless.

Somewhere in a hospital in Seoul, South korea...

The machine beside her was making beep sounds continuously. It was recording her heartbeat and the pattern of her breathing.

A man in his late 50s was sitting in front of her along with his daughter. The person they came to visit was his mother, Flora. It was also the mother of Ivon North.

"Mother, just hang in there for a bit. The doctor said they’ve found a cure that will cure your illness."

The old lady raised her trembling hand on her son’s head and whispered, "My dear son, I’m okay. You don’t have to worry about such things now. Your mother has lived a long life."

The son burst into tears after hearing her thoughts. It was true that she was so old and barely could walk or do anything on her own. She was already on her death’s door but her son still couldn’t accept the fact that he had to say goodbye to his mother forever.

The old lady again said, "Son, will you forgive your mother for not being a good mother? I know I lacked so much and couldn’t take care of you because of the work."

"No, mother! What are you even saying! You were the greatest mother in the whole world and still, you are. Please don’t say those things. You’ve done so much for me and dad."

He started to shed some tears on her old wrinkled hand and said, "Mother, remember what dad said before he passed away? He said you’ve done so much for the family all by yourself. Don’t blame yourself for being a bad mother that you never were."

The old woman coughed a little and said, "My dear son, do you know dear? When Ivon was a small child, he used to stare at the stars all night instead of sleeping. He disliked the moon. He used to say that he wanted to travel far away from earth and reach somewhere far away where there’s no moon in the sky."

"Ar..are you perhaps talking about Ivon, my big brother? Why are you remembering those now? Please don’t push yourself too hard."

"I’m not pushing myself too hard, dear. I am just regretting leaving him behind. If he was alive, he’d have two or three big children and become a grandfather. He was also a precious son of mine like you were. But for some reason, I always have these strange feelings deep inside my heart."

"What is it, mother?"

"I feel like my son Ivon is still alive. He’s not dead."

"Mother, please stop talking now. You know that Ivon was dead back in the 30s. It’s 2059 now. The feeling you’re getting might be a hunch that he’s living a good life in heaven."

At that moment, the doctor came inside with some papers and said, "Patient Flora, you have a visitor."

The old woman looked at the doctor and raised her hand. "Let them come."

The doctor was shocked to hear that she knew there was more than one person. So he said, O..okay. I’ll call them inside now."

The old man said, "Who came here at this hour? Are they someone from our hometown? They came all the way here to see you?" At that moment, a white-haired man came inside with a deep blue t-shirt on. All the people inside the room were astonished to see him.
