Chapter 142: Reunion as strangers
Nam Seo wasn't hurt anywhere because of the heavenly guardian-level healing magic. His health was better than before that he could feel the comfort from every inch of his body.
Even so, it was almost 11 so he fell asleep after he ate his dinner with the help of his team leader.
The night passed quickly and the sun ca up. The morning light ca inside the room through the window and fell on his face. He woke up from his sleep because of that.
At that ti, Viktor who was busy reading so random records inside his library spent more than 1 year in a blink. He was slowly getting used to the long-lasting ti but still, it was irritating to him.
Because of that, the reality beca more and more annoying due to the frequent events. For example, he felt as if a human was being constantly disturbed by so many things in a short ti for 24 hours a day.
It was pretty annoying so he started to love the ti he spent inside his library realm with super speed ti. Even though he couldn't fulfil his duty as a record guardian legally, he loved to read records and learn new things or two about the goddess of light.
'How much ti has passed?'
Viktor looked at the ti counter and saw that it was nearly a year and a half.
'Only? I thought more than 3 years had passed. I beca so used to this ti that sitting in the sa position for a decade feels nothing to .'
He sighed and closed the record he was reading. He then flew to the library vault section and opened the door that he couldn't open at first.
It was a secret chamber that only he has access to and the mont he steps inside the huge vault, his record stopped recording his movents.
That ans even if he plots to kill a god, it won't get recorded and no god can look into this matter. As a demigod, it was one of his cheat skills.
'The room also slls different.'
He closed the door and turned on the light. The room was smaller compared to what it actually looked from the outside. A small table with a hanging light above, so worn-out books on the bookshelf and a small box in the corner of the room.
The room looked like a storage room.
He took a book from the shelf and took a seat to read it. It was the record of a formal god that he found inside his library. He was one of the gods who lost the great heavenly war and beca mortal after losing their fragnts and power.
He was the formal god of death and now, he still walks around the realm above the elental guardians' realm and lives his life as a slacker.
Usually, Viktor doesn't have any access to any God's records because he's a demigod. But those who lost their powers during the war, appear in Viktor's library. The formal god of death was also one of them between 40 to 50 formal gods.
They all live inside the heavenly gate realm and the realms below that.
'I want to see those cultivators who can actually count how long they can live.'
Viktor read only a hundred pages in a minute and closed the book in terror. It was full of so long nas that his head started to spin.
"Labric Li Taserasoma Daltamo Pegriham Haujai Moi Sensen Tuili Pedro. This is the na of the God of so random flower that I've never heard of. Seriously, do Gods really have to na a person like that? And they say their full na when they are having a conversation with soone. I'm out of here-_-. To hell with saving the world."
Viktor opened his eyes and saw the sunlight entering his room. At that ti, it was already past 11 am.
"Ugh… my head is still spinning."
Adonis knocked at the door and ca inside with a glass of warm water. A glass of lukewarm water was the first thing to drink to start his morning in bed so he took the glass and slowly gulped down to the last drop.
"Ah…I'm feeling alive. Good morning, Adonis."
"Good morning, master. How was your night?"
"It was peaceful, then I went to study a little. How was yours?" Viktor rubbed his eyes and wore his soft sandals. He was heading to the bathroom to wash his face.
Adonis followed him and said, "I was busy instructing so clones to fix the broken windows. It was almost 2 when I went to bed."
Adonis stopped for a minute and then asked, "May I ask for a day off, master?"
Viktor was surprised to hear him asking for a day off for the first ti in his life. He was curious so he asked, "Are you going on a date?"
Adonis beca a little red and said, "Um.. y.yes."
'Aigo.… I just asked sothing so random out of nowhere without looking into his record and it turns out to be true-_-.'
"Is it another girl? Or that assistant of yours?"
"Yes, it's Sho, master. She asked yesterday if I could take her on a date. It seems like I went too harsh on her on the first night so she's demanding so ti from ."
"Oh…so that's what happened. Take a day off, don't worry about the work. Make sure to treat her well."
Viktor smirked a little and said, "Don't forget to use protection."
Adonis beca fully red and said, "M..master!! It's just a date!! We're going to see a movie and eat so food!!!"
"Hahahaha!!! Go ahead. Buy so chickens on your way ho."
"Yes, master. Then I'll take my leave. Your breakfast will be served by the chief today."
"Okay, have fun."
The mont Adonis left the bathroom in excitent, Viktor tapped the foad razor on the side of the sink and beca a little annoyed.
He looked at his reflection in the mirror and again started to shave the left side of his face. "It's a good thing that my facial hair is so thin and almost unnoticeable because it's also damn white. But it's a damn cursed luck that I'll never get a girlfriend with his pretty face."
He went out of the bathroom after taking a cold shower and wore a sky-blue shirt to go outside as well. "Today, I'll visit my neighbourhood."
Since only 2 years had passed on earth, all the people that he knew when he was Ivon North were still alive. His mother Flora, his ex-girlfriends and his classmates from college. But they were in two different places so he decided to go to his hotown and check on his mother.
She was still alive.
Viktor reached the small town where he used to live and studied in high school after going through the traumatic incident. His first girlfriend also left him that year when she found out that he was an orphan and adopted by a wealthy family.
'Hah… the air is still the sa.'
He walked down the path to his orphanage and then followed the path to the cetery. With a white flower banquet in his hand, he entered the white cetery.
It was looking for his own jar of ash.
There weren't many people inside the cetery but his appearance was attracting those. They were all middle-aged won so they started to talk back. They were all curious about him so one of them approached him and asked, "Young man, are you from here?"
Viktor looked at her face and she beca stunned to see his beauty. "I'm from Seoul. May I help you with anything?" Viktor asked.
"Oh..no no."
'Why is she staring at like that -_-.'
He quickly left the spot and went inside another section to find his ash. And finally, he found it. Surprisingly, there was another vase of ash beside his jar.
'Taerun North. The father of Ivon North. Interesting. Soone appeared who never showed up in my life before.'
He opened the glass door and put the white flower bouquet inside. It was awkward to pray for his own body but he felt like he should pray for it. So he ca all the way from Seoul just to see his old body's ashes that he used to play with a lot.
At that mont, soone ca closer to him and asked, "Are you a friend of Ivon?"
The voice he used to hear a lot during his elentary school ti again rang in his ears after a long ti. He knew who it was but for so reason, his body beca frozen this ti. He wasn't brave enough to face her yet.
It was Flora, his mother who took care of him as a teacher, lunch lady and school guard.
Viktor kept staring at the vase of his ashes and then she walked closer and stood beside him. "You know, Ivon was a brave boy. He used to love baseball so much when he was only 7 years old. He used to get cuts on his legs frequently for that. When he grew up, he beca cold because I failed to take him in. I was a failure as a mother that left her son in the harsh world. It was so selfish of ."
Viktor couldn't move at all but his eyes beca blurry. He was trying to keep his mind strong but his throat began to hurt.
The woman beside him again said, "I followed him when he went to Seoul and saw he was doing great. I was so happy, but also very sad that I couldn't hold my tears in. I wanted to hold him so close and apologise for all the things I'd done to him but I couldn't. It was too late to hold his hands and say that I love him so much."
She wiped her tears and again said, "You're his friend, right? I'm happy that Ivon still has soone who still prays for him. Thank you so much for visiting….hic…hic..for…visiting my son…"
She bowed to Viktor and then Viktor held her shoulder. "Please!! You don't have to thank . Please don't cry."
She looked at his face and was astonished to see his silver eyes. She quickly held his face and said, "You have the sa eyes as my son."
"Y..yes. That's because I'm from Germany. It's a common thing there. "
She held his hands tightly and said, "Co, let's have a chat. I want to know more about him when he was a college student. Please accept his last request from this old lady. Please…"
'She's still the sa. It's really good to see her in good health with her kind smile.'
Viktor wiped the small drop of tear from his eye and smiled, " Of course, we can have a chat. Please show the way."
