The Author Is Speechless

Chapter 126: Hopelessness

The next day in college.

Bake and ijin waiting at the front gate for Viktor and the other two with two cokes. They were together at Baek\'s house for a party after staying on Cosmo for 2 and a half months. They wanted to invite Viktor and the rest of his family but they immediately left to eat dragon meat soup.

They had fun that night with other classmates of Viktor.

A car stopped in front of the gate.

"You\'re here," Baek said.

Viktor got out of the car and in just a second, everyone\'s eyes became fixed on his face. Since Viktor changed everyone\'s memory, it wasn\'t their first time to see Viktor that handsome but still, they again thought about if there was anyone handsome like him in the college. They started to chatter about how handsome he looked.

"Looks like I\'ll have to wear a mask." Viktor looked at Ijin with his silver eyes with golden rings. The rings weren\'t around the pupil of his eyes but like bubbles all over the iris. They looked like small bubble rings all floating around his iris.

It was a spectacular view.

"Viktor, what are those floating rings inside your eyes?" Ijin asked.

"Oh, those things? Look closer, they are all over my body. Not only inside my eyes."

Viktor raised his hand and Ijin saw nearly visible tiny rings floating all over his skin. They weren\'t visible to normal eyes but using mana could make them slightly visible.

"What are those things?" Baek asked.

"It\'s a trade secret between guardians." He winked at him and walked inside the premises with Rae and Welis. They were excited to come back to classes after a month but Viktor was feeling bored. He was busy with something deep inside his library.

\'I studied my brother\'s record last night. Since he knows what kind of guardian I am, he would never secure his records or memories in his brain that could be printed in my library.\'

\'After looking through his records and those records that belonged to the home spirit of our house in the guardian realm, I found out something strange.\'

\'About 6 creatures ago when my soul was still on the line of reincarnation, he frequently talked with another home spirit of the guardian of wind security in exchange for heaven mana stone. I have no idea how he went inside the heaven and collected those, but I am sure he plotted something deeper inside.\'

\'Since I can\'t find anything inside his record, I can assume that he had the upper hand in the coming civil war. His connection with the house spirit of the Wind guardian, the supply of heaven mana stone, a clear record and a good relationship with the guardian of time where he pretended to be a good brother leads to one wild assumption.

\'He is using a clone and kept his real identity and soul somewhere else. The body he\'s currently using is fake.\'

\'There\'s no way his name is Elesis Siris, his name is something that he has changed from everyone\'s memory since he\'s the guardian of knowledge. Changing his identity isn\'t a difficult task for him.\'

\'The god has cut all the connections with this universe, so what is happening inside is out of his knowledge. Moreover, the heavenly guardians were recently ordered to stop the executions because the god has abandoned the universe. There was no need to kill them since the universe is going to die very soon.\'

\'So no matter what I do, the heavenly guardians won\'t come. The god has removed this universe from reality. Tsk! This is troublesome.\'

Ijin suddenly slammed the desk in front of Viktor and said, "I called you four times already. What are you thinking about?"

Viktor came out of his library and said, "What is it?"

"What do you mean by what is it? The classes are over, we\'re heading to the training facility now to test our new updated weapon. Do you want to come?"

Viktor looked at the time and said, "No, I have things to do now. See you tomorrow."

"Okay then, see you tomorrow. Oi Baek!! Let\'s go!!" Both of them ran out of the classroom leaving the three of them.

Since he read his \'fake\' brother\'s record and found out he could be anywhere near him, his trust issues increased. He went inside Ijin and Baek\'s records and immediately erased Neul and the existence of the guardians. He couldn\'t trust anyone so he simply teleported somewhere leaving Rae and Welis in the class and told them to go back home.

He was too frustrated.

…

Somewhere in the mouth of Everest.

The white show was covered all over the mountain peak. The heavy clouds were floating below the mountains and at that moment, the clouds suddenly disappeared.

It was Viktor\'s magic.

\'Tsk! My clothes are all drenched.\'

He cleaned a slope which was filled with ice and took a seat to clear his mind. He had so much to think of even after reading all night.

\'I guess I am still weak even after completing my fragment core.\'

He grabbed his shirt above his left chest and looked at the ground. \'I think I should leave college and start to make counter measurements. Anyone can stab my back anytime so I can\'t really trust anyone. Not even Adon…\'

His lips stopped mumbling when he was about to talk about Adonis. \'Can I really trust him?\'

He kicked a pile of snow and thought about something. \'Even though my core is complete, I still haven\'t unlocked my full power. I am sure I am more powerful than him but if I don\'t practice it, I am sure I will die. But if I do that, I will become less human.\'

\'My nature is of a demon, there\'s no sense of mercy or justice inside my heart. On the other hand, my other part is the opposite. So, there\'s a 40% chance of my survival. If I unleash my power, I will slaughter everyone near me.\'

But Viktor was still hesitating to unlock his fragment fully. So he used summoning magic and summoned Adonis out of nowhere.

"Master!! What is going on?" Adonis looked into his eyes and saw a different expression that he never saw before. His eyes were dark and he wasn\'t showing any expression. Viktor walked closer to Adonis so slowly that he made Adonis a little frightened. "Ma..master. Is everything alright? Master..ma..heukkk!!!!"

Viktor grabbed his neck with his pale hand and squeaked it firmly. He was terrified of his sudden abnormal behaviour. He couldn\'t talk anymore so he used voice magic to speak to him.

**Master!!! Master!!! Please come back to your senses!!! Master!!**

Viktor looked at him with cold eyes and held him on the edge of the tall snowy mountain. He was hanging there with nothing under his legs but a long drop.

"Adonis, are you real? Or my other half who\'s playing as Adonis to stab my back."

**Master!! What are you saying!! Why would I be a fake when you were the one who created me!!**

He used his guardian truth fragment to see if he was really telling the truth or not and the answers were positive. Adonis was Victor\'s taboo creation. Not his other park playing as Adonis around him.

He immediately took Adonis into his arms and broke into tears. He was so terrified and also felt guilty to do that to the only person that he trusts with his soul.

He was frustrated.

Adonis didn\'t know what was going on but he knew his master was in shock. He held him inside his arms and said, "I am not a fake master. I am someone who is born with both hands. You\'re the one who created me so I will follow you and serve you for eternity."

Viktor screamed out because of the sharp pain deep inside his heart and said, "I don\'t want to die!!! I don\'t want to die!!!!!"

He grabbed Adonis\'s shirt and hid his face on his chest.

"Master. Don\'t cry. You won\'t die. I will never let that happen. Ever again. I will make sure to keep you safe. Just tell me what happened so I can help with that. So please stop crying. You\'re making me sad too."

But no matter how much he was trying to calm Viktor down, his tears won\'t stop coming out. They were vanishing before they were reaching his chin but still, his eyes were getting red.

"Adonis, please don\'t betray me."

Adonis finally started crying after hearing his words and said, Master! Why would I betray my master? You\'re my lord. My one and only master who created me. Even if you go against the god, I will never betray you. So please stop saying this kind of thing."

After three hours of sobbing and wiggling in Adonis\'s arms on the top of the mountain, Viktor finally stopped and sat there like a kid who found his lost ball but still maintained his gloomy face. He was tired after crying for that long shamelessly in front of Adonis like a child. "Master, are you feeling good now? Here\'s a blanket. Your hair tips are forming ice crystals. Please cover your body and head."

Adonis wrapped Viktor like a shawarma and gave him a glass of warm milk from his dimension room. "Master, please drink that and then tell me what happened. I will be in front of you for eternity so don\'t worry. Please tell me even if it\'s after one or two centuries."

Viktor wiped his face and took a sip of his warm milk. He wasn\'t cold but the cold stormy show was making his mind feel cold. So the warm milk was making him feel better.

\'I am happy that someone is here with me. I am feeling so light now. I am so sleepy.\' Viktor leaned to the cold mountain wall beside him and said, "Adonis, let\'s go home."

Adonis smiled gently and replied, "Yes, master."
