BXBX NOVEL Chapter 105: Curse
Chapter 105: Curse
Right after they entered the park to take a walk, both of them felt the presence of more than 10 people using shadow techniques to hide their presence. But they weren't invisible to both powerful guardians of the realm so they just acted along as if they were just walking and suddenly spotted the girl who was dressing up as a boy.
Ivon wanted to know more about the supernatural organization but the girl didn't have much information in her record. He found out that everyone uses a fake name so it was hard for him to spot the man who was in control and the secrets behind the hybrids.
So he had to walk away with Rae and look for the matter later.
A secret organization for the hybrids, hm… This is going to be interesting and keep me entertained.
"Vik, are we just going to walk around? Aren't you going back to your home? It's going to be morning in 3 hours."
Neul looked at his phone screen and saw that it was past 3. The neighbour around his home was nearly empty and there was one of two people passing by the street. He also spotted some hybrids walking as normal humans to guard the street and suddenly, an explosion occurred one block away.
"What was that?" Rae asked.
"Looks like there's a fight going on. Want to check it out?"
"Yes."
Both of them went away from a surveillance camera and cast invisibility to walk back and check what was going on. There were people in white overcoats and guns that looked like they had bullets infused mana. They were pointing their guns towards a man with a black suitcase. He was probably delivering something illegal but he was corned by the hybrids.
"Heheh! You guys are already late. The file has already been transferred to the boss. Now nothing can stop us."
"Put your hands up and throw the suitcase at us. Don't make us shoot you."
"Ah!! Hahaha! Come on. You guys don't even know what will happen after this. You are all dead."
Suddenly, the girl who was dressing up as a boy shot him in the head and he immediately died on the spot. She was ordered to kill him after the criminal said the file had already been sent.
They failed in their mission to secure an important file.
At that moment, Ivon and Rae were sitting on a wall to see what was going on and they found out all of them had mana inside their body. But it wasn't a pure circulation and their mana circle looked like they were forcefully opened.
*What do you think about that man, Vik?*
*I'm pretty sure they know how to cast magic. But their way of casting it is different from what a human should do. They are harming their body by forcefully opening the mana path and it will decrease their lifespan.*
*Yes. But what about that dead person?*
*His mana circulation was different. Not only him, but most of the people down there also have their different ways of circulating mana within their bodies. I believe they are from different 'clans'*
*I too think so. Anyway, aren't you going to check what the secret organization is? I'm going to take a look if you don't want to.*
*Don't. We can't move around too much before I make sure of something really important.*
*Why? Is there any problem*
*Junior like you should listen to the senior.*
*Now you're the senior, ha?*
Of course, I am from the 7th generation where he's only a 9th generation twig. There's a half-a-million age gap between us. Plus, he doesn't know that two powerful guardians came to earth before us.
After Elesis and the other two guardians were facing the heaven guardian, Elesis broke a stone that was given by Elerous so many years ago. He told him to use that when their life will be in grave danger. But he didn't tell him what kind of stone it was.
The stone his twin brother gave him was a portal stone with a seal. It was a one-way ticket to earth and it had a seal that would forcefully put the passenger to deep sleep inside objects.
When the stone was broken, it sucked the three of them into three different objects and threw them on earth. On their way, they separate their path and fall to three different places on earth that Elerous only knows and only he holds the power to reopen the seal.
It was a huge gamble but thankfully, it went as Elerous predicted.
But there is someone else on earth as well. I followed their records everyday to check on their movements. After my twin brother was sent to earth, the guardian of greed and poison also went to deep sleep on a lifeless planet for 10 years. They had a portal stone but it was manaless. So they had to cultivate their mana for 10 years to open it.
Unfortunately, it was a portal stone to earth and they arrived half a year ago. I'm really surprised that they acted like real humans and used no magic until they found out about the hybrids.
But I don't have further access to their record because I need three or four guardian fragments to unlock my one hundred percent fragment power.
I'm currently at 98 percent but if I could take that dragon's fragment before my death, I would already have unlocked my limitations.
Those two guardians are powerful and they are from the 5th generation. So I can't read everything on their record. Tsk!! This is troublesome.
"Vik, they are already leaving."
Ivon looked at the case that man was carrying and saw it was filled with small glass bottles and some devices. The liquid inside the glass looked like potions to him.
"Yea, let's go and rest for the day."
"Okay, but where?"
"I know a place."
There was a place that Ivon used to visit when he used to be a shut-in freelancer. A pc cafe where he used to play all night and sleep all day. It was his favourite place to hang out after he graduated from college. Luckily, the place was still open and they both went inside to play some games and spend their time.
Rae was new to computers and games so Neul had to teach him the new way of having fun. He immediately understood the games and got sucked into them.
Looks like he got a real talent for gaming. His fingers are moving like machines.
"Hey, don't break the keys."
"I won't, don't worry. But how do I beat the goblins? Should I use some healing potions before taking the quest? Man, it's just like a real dungeon."
"Use potions when your HP is down to 30. If you use it when your health is already 100%, it will be a waste."
"I see. Looks like I have to study gaming and computers from now on."
He's really having fun. Hah.. I need to move out of that rich brats house.
Suddenly, Neul's phone rang and when he looked, some of his new body's memories started to recall some harsh past. It was his mother who never cared about him.
So he received the call and held it to his ears.
"Neul, where are you?"
The woman's voice wasn't mixed with any emotions. But he could feel the disappointment in her words. She wasn't happy with her son's recent acts.
"I'm in a gaming cafe."
"It's almost 4 AM. And why are you in a gaming cafe at this hour? Who is accompanying you?"
"Did Jinin tell you something?"
The woman suddenly became silent after he talked about his elder brother but then she said, "Yes. I heard you're messing up again. If something happens again, your father won't cover for you anymore. He will send you to Germany and make sure you won't ever come back."
"How about signing a family estrangement paper for me? I won't bother you or your family anymore. Since I'm just an eyesore to your family's reputation, it's better for me to move out forever. Right? You or anyone from my family never saw me as a part of the family. So, I think it's better for us to cut ties with each other."
After I read Neul's record, I saw something unusual. Ever since he was born, his mother rejected him as her son. The chairman thought his 4th child must be someone else's son so he didn't pay much attention to him. At that time, the mother was having a secret relationship with another man and for that reason, he was negated. Everyone thought that he wasn't the chairman's son so he was kicked out at the age of 2 and raised by his grandma on his mother's side.
His grandma was too old at that time so he didn't receive proper guidance. For that reason, he just learned what saw from the people surrounding him.
When he turned 7, his facial structure started to change and he looked exactly like the chairman. It made the family think about his actual father and after the DNA test was out, he turned out to be the chairman's fourth son.
At that time, the relationship between her parents was back on line and Neul was taken back to the family. At that time, the other children of the chairman became jealous and to kick him out again, the three of them decided to spoil him and drive him to the wrong path so that his father would kick him out again.
Well, they actually made their dream come true. They successfully killed their younger brother by poisoning him. And his father never liked him even though he was his real son. His mother also didn't take care of him even after he was back at the main house.
Man, I feel sad for Neul all of a sudden. I hope he can have a good life in his next life.
The mother was shocked to hear her son talking about disownment. After staying quiet for some second, she said, "What are you talking about?"
"It's exactly as you heard. I will leave the family so you and your family won't have to worry about me. Rest assured, I won't do anything bad so that I'll end up in jail. I won't scratch your family reputation anymore."
"Why are you talking like that!!"
"Is something that matters? I'm actually surprised that you're complaining about what I just said. Anyway, I'll be going now. I'm busy with my game."
Neul switched off his phone and went back to this game to spend his time peacefully with Rae. Even though Neul was dead, his memories were still inside his brain. So after Ivon read the truth about Neul's death, his emotions were triggered and his eyes became teary. The remaining memories inside Neul's body were crying because of the truth behind his death.
Don't worry. Your soul has forgotten about everything. So, go to sleep and never come back. You're dead.
A small cloud of mana listened to Ivon's words and went out of his body. It circled above his head and after some moment, it vanished.
The curse left his new body and went to deep sleep forever.
