“Of cour- eh? Wait, who are you?” Aileen frowned and looked at Allen with a doubtful expression.
Dark skin, almost shoulder length silver hair, and crimson eyes. It was definitely the first ti she had seen him but for so reason, she couldn’t understand, he sohow felt familiar to her. And that youthful and handso face… just where did she saw him before?
Hearing her question, Allen couldn’t help but smile bitterly and felt depressed. He just left and disappeared for a few months and he was already forgotten? This was the first ti he felt his existence was actually thin…
“Fool.” Before he could say anything, Flor on the side spoke playfully. “What do you an who are you? That’s clearly Allen, you know…”
“WHAT?!!!” She was startled then like a young girl, her eyes sparkled and she ran up to Allen. “Are you really that bastardous, scum, playboy who only knows how to pick girls and imdiately forget his past lovers, idiot… Allen!?”
Behind her, the group who was following Aileen started whispering with each other like ‘Is that the Princess man?’, ‘Is that the Thunder Emperor?’, “Was he the rumored King of the Beast?’ and et cetera.
It seems like his identity was quite well-known…
“Who are you calling a bastard and a scum!?” A thud could be heard.
Allen’s fist of love rcilessly descended to Aileen’s head.
“Owowow...you hit too hard!” Aileen clutched her head in pain.
“You’re actually not denying the last part?” Sara in the side felt sowhat depressed.
Flor chuckled.
“You bastard womanizer! Where the heck has you been? All of us are desperately looking for you, you know!? What happened to the Curse of the Fallen? Are you alright? And what’s with that appearance?!”
“Oh?” Allen was surprised. “How did you know about the curse?”
“Alkrasha told us through the Chat Room. More like where’s your Vit Com.? Why can’t we contact you all this ti?”
I see… Allen nodded. Alkrasha should know have known about it through the resonance… it seems like I’m giving her unnecessary worries. “It was destroyed. As for the Curse, I’m fine though my current appearance was due to that…”
“You are cursed?” this was the first ti Sara had heard about this. She and Flor both turned to look at Allen.
“I’m fine… the curse, for now, was restrained. Though my appearance was extrely affected by it…” Allen answered with an indifferent voice. “Thus, right now, instead of saying I’m of the human race, it should be correct to say I’m from the Fallen race. However, I still have my own consciousness…”
- Well, I’m not sure I can, all the ti though. Allen added inside his mind. Even this mont, Allen can still feel the darkness squirming at the bottom of his consciousness. The other ‘Allen’ was slowly squirming to get out, along with the ‘other’…
Seriously… what a strange body I have …
I know it was my body but I didn’t feel like I own it… and yet, I felt a sense of comfort as if I was conducting anactthat I was very familiar with…
But still, Allen can’t help but feel gratified, after all, due to the unknown power inside of him, he manifested – where normally he should have already disappeared due to loss of mories.

He should have already been forgotten, suck in the loss of ti…
“Are you really alright?” Aileen asked worriedly.
“I’m fine…” for now…
“If you say so…” Aileen nodded in understanding; suddenly her eyes caught sight of Sara. “And… who are you?”
“She’s also the Monster’s victim…” the one who answered was not Sara but instead Flor who was smiling with a mischievous smile.
“Monster? What monster?” Aileen asked with a doubtful expression.
“Don’t listen to her… she’s just jealous…” Allen chided.
But Flor didn’t care about him and signal Aileen with her eyes. She tilted her head towards Sara then to Allen.
Sara who had caught on their strange actions felt ashad and embarrassed. She blushed slightly, feeling her face turning hot. She walked sideways, grasping Allen’s clothes with her hands.
“...”
Aileen’s eyes opened wide in surprise upon receiving Flor’s signals. But it wasn't because she didn't understand what she was trying to say. In fact, it was quite the opposite; she finally got the ssage in full form.
“Oh,” A sound filled with surprise mixed with astonishnt. Her gaze was then attracted to Sara’s hand that was pulling Allen’s clothes.
“I see…” She smiled bitterly. “Indeed, another victim of the monster…”
“Hey!”
“Welco to the club, then…” Aileen ignored Allen and approached Sara and extended her arms. “Ah! Don’t misunderstand, I’m not saying I’m one, you know… I’m just a friend. A normal friend…” Having realized her own mistake, Aileen hurried to correct herself.
“O – Okay…” Sara took her hand and shook it, her face beet red.
“A normal friend…?” Flor snorted.
“Shut up, Flor…” Aileen scowled with a bashful expression.
“So, why are you here? Grinding level?” Allen asked.
That was when Flor and Aileen’s expressions turned cloudy.
Allen didn’t overlook it. “What is it? Did sothing happen?”
Flor sighed. “A group was stranded inside the Dungeon. We’re planning to rescue them now…”
“Stranded?” Allen looked at her with doubtful looks. His gaze then turned towards the entrance, many people were going in and out of it. “How?”
“I know what you think, it shouldn’t be possible yeah… but we don’t know. They haven’t co back since yesterday…”
“Aren’t you thinking it too much, maybe, they were just deep in the Dungeon now. Being inside the Dungeon can be longer than what you think. It’s normal…”
“But this ti isn’t.” Aileen was the one who responded. “They should be back last night. That was the agreent. They are only allowed for a day, longer than that is already prohibited by Mia.”
“But Superhumans diving a Dungeon is perfectly normal… why is it only for a day… sothing happened… isn’t it?” Allen frowned, realizing sothing wrong with their attitudes.
“Because Sister Layla is there…” Suddenly a voice joined in their conversation.
“What?!” Allen’s eyes opened as wide as they possibly could. “What did you say?!”
Allen turned around and saw a boy, black hair, black eyes. White, tall, and handso. He was around 13 – 14 years old with a baby face.
The contours and structure of his face seem familiar to Allen but that wasn’t the most important here, right now.
“What do you an by my sister is inside that freaking Dungeon!!?” Allen yelled angrily. His sister is a very special person in his life. If sothing happened to her, he would certainly raise hell.
“It’s true; sister is inside the Dungeon, brother.” The youth said softly while looking at Allen with a faint smile.
“Sister? Brother? Who are you? Brother from the parallel world?” Allen muttered in a doubtful voice. He turned his head towards Aileen and Flor. “What is this baby-face snap short, saying?”
“Whoa, How about so professional courtesy here, brother?” The youth’s face imdiately falls.
Flor shrugged. “Family blood, your real brother…”
“Huh?” Allen looked at Aileen and saw her nodded with a bitter smile. “My brother, real?”
“Of course, real… well, judging from your current appearance, I think I’m turning more handso than you, but we’re real, yeah, it’s real… mom told us…” The youth arrogantly smiled while putting his hands on each side of his waist. “Gart Villaflores, the na by the way~”
“Is that a family thing?” Aileen in the side asked.
“You an the arrogance…?” Flor answered.
“I also think so…” Sara added while shaking her head.
“Ah!” Allen finally caught up with the situation. “Mom found us?” He asked with a complicated expression.
“You rember?” The youth frowned. “I thought Sister Judith said you don’t rember anything?”
“I just did, recently but… Sister Judith ey? What a nostalgic na… so you’re my real brother? You’re so ugly, can’t be…”
“Who are you calling ugly?” The youth scowled. “Try looking at the mirror, brother, and say it again… I dare you…” Garth glared at his brother in anger. He was extrely confident in his appearance, you know.
One look and girl will imdiately shriek and a wink is enough to make them faint~
“Whatever, so, big sis is inside the Dungeon and stranded? Why did Mia allow my Sister to enter a Dungeon?!”
