[Selena left after finishing her explanation. And as you watched her back, your heart softened a little more. But without dwelling on that for now, you quickly pricked your finger, squeezing a drop of blood onto the book — just as Selena had instructed.]
[And the book dissolved into blood and drilled into your body. Its content, written in a foreign language, yet sohow perfectly understandable, beca imprinted in your mind.]
A superior technique really is sothing else, Noel thought in wonder, reading about the Blood Scripture.
[Two weeks passed. You devoted all your ti to the technique — practicing its breathing and movent patterns to awaken bodily awareness. And at last, you reached the threshold of the first stage.]
[So absorbed were you in your training, that your agitation over not seeing Lilith, and your situation, seed to fade. Even your relationship with Selena began to improve.]
[One month passed. You could now sense the blood flowing through your body more clearly, and began the early process of removing impurities within it.]
[During that ti, your relationship with Selena returned to how it was before, and you began sleeping together again.]
[Then one day, you ntioned the na Coren rrow to her.]
[Selena raised an eyebrow and asked how you knew that na. But you brushed her off.]
[Two months passed. You had already started cleansing your bloodstream and blood vessels, and your physical strength alone had more than doubled compared to before you began this path.]
[Another two months went by. With further mastery over the early parts of Blood Scripture, you were finally able to asure your progress in the first stage — Vital Purification. Shockingly, despite how powerful you already were... you had only reached 1%.]
[But instead of feeling discouraged, you found yourself looking forward to the future even more — to how strong you could beco when you reached the higher stages.]
[That day, Selena ca to you and said you were changing houses.]
[When you asked her why, she replied with a peculiar expression: It’s the rrow family.]
[She didn’t elaborate further, but you already understood what was going on.]
[Even then, you tried to run away on the way, thinking that maybe, with your current strength, you could make a difference.]
[But all it took was Selena casting her gaze at you... and your body froze in place.]
[The new house was worse than the last. But the servants there were clearly stronger — you could feel it.]
[You, who thought that even if your first escape failed, the next one might be different — had to change your plans.]
[Three months passed. But your progress was slow. You were still at 3% of the Vital Purification stage.]
[23 years old. You advanced a further 2% on the Blood Refinent Path. You were far stronger than before, but instead of rejoicing, your thoughts remained on Lilith — on when you would be able to see her again.]
[Four more months passed. Your progress continued to rise steadily. But as you continued to go without seeing Lilith, it felt like you were going mad. And so, the fights between you and Selena — fights that had stopped ever since she brought you the Blood Scripture — started again.]
[Maybe it was because of how agitated you were... or how haggard you looked, even with your now-robust body. Selena, who hadn’t said a word about Lilith during all this ti, finally relented.]
["She’s assimilating the inheritance of the Cross family — to take down," she told you. "So when she finishes... she’ll co to you herself."]
[You cald down sowhat upon hearing that. A part of you felt happy. But the stronger part of you hated the situation — hated that you had to wait for Lilith instead of going to her.]
[That’s why you threw all your frustration into training, pushing yourself harder than ever — never caring about the toll it took on your body.]
[Four more months passed. Your progress had now reached nearly 15% of the Blood Refinent Path — far faster than before.]
[The Blood Scripture focused on building a foundation though, but yours still felt weak even now.]
[Naturally, you didn’t care about that. Because more than the future... your mind was completely trapped in the present.]
[It was on that day that Selena casually told you she’d be away for a week or two. And that you wouldn’t see her during that ti — so you wouldn’t worry.]
[You simply nodded at that. Your only thought was that you could now pour even more ti into your training.]
Noel’s eyes narrowed as he read that part.
Last ti... and this ti.
If he calculated it correctly, it was around the sa period that Selena went away.
So, what was going on?
This ti, he felt fairly certain that he had no direct relation to whatever was happening.
And most importantly — would he be kidnapped again by the rrow family this ti?
Noel wondered, as he continued reading.
[Ti passed. Four days later, in the middle of the night, after finishing your training and falling asleep, you suddenly woke up. And beside your bed, a breathtakingly beautiful woman was standing.]
So they still ca. Just a day later this ti.
Noel exhaled softly, thinking that this was probably it for this simulation.
[You, naturally, didn’t care about the woman’s beauty. All your focus was on her cold expression — and how it clearly spelled trouble.]
[You rose from your lying position and instinctively retreated a few steps, taking a defensive stance. But the woman only stood there... silently staring at you, unmoving.]
[Ti passed like that. And just as you started doubting yourself — wondering if maybe you’d misunderstood the situation, even though that seed highly unlikely — you finally asked what she wanted.]
[She didn’t reply imdiately. She simply took her ti... and then finally said: Go and accompany my son in the underworld.]
[As soon as her words finished, she made her move.]
[You died.]
