Chapter 281 - I wouldn't be here without you



Alex was at a loss, standing before Celia’s room door.

Until now, Celia was a great girl, knowing her mother’s circumstances. She knew their lives were in danger, that her mother had to leave many times to fight, and that it would take some time before she could live like other kids her age.

But as more people entered her life, Celia started growing up faster. She wanted to try more things and surely understood more of her circumstances now.

‘She’s angry and lonely… I can only deal with the latter by being with her,’ Alex thought, still clueless about how he should deal with Celia’s problems. He pushed the knob, entering the room, for no system blocked him.

It was Celia’s room, so no one could enter it if she wanted privacy!

Yet, Alex stepped in, so it was clear that the dullahan princess wanted her father to be with her.

Alex saw Celia sitting by her desk. She held her pen tightly, hovering her eyes on the exercises her mother had prepared for her. But as she didn’t write anything, Celia either couldn’t solve it, or she couldn’t focus.

She still had some tears in her eyes.

Alex took a seat next to her, glancing into Celia’s exercise. She had some stuff written on her equation, yet she couldn’t finish it, knowing there was a mistake somewhere.

And as that gave some idea to Alex, he whispered, hoping to help Celia with her math and heart problems, “You don’t know where you’ve made a mistake.”

Celia bit her lips, not turning around to look at her daddy.

Alex smiled, “I’m the same. I can’t peek into your heart, Celia. I don’t know where I have made a mistake, so I hope you will tell me. And then, you will ask me for help, and I will help you…

It’s so heartbreaking seeing you not wanting to even look at me, Celia,” Alex candidly shared his feelings with his daughter, making her heart ache.

Celia slowly lifted her eyes, hovering those beautiful blue hues on her daddy’s face, “Where did you go with mom, daddy?”

“Huh?” Alex reacted without thinking, rattling off, “We went to a war… and then…”

And as those words rang out in his mind, Alex felt like he was close to solving the mystery behind Celia’s pain. Alex and his wives had ‘died’ in a war with the hungry demons.

Of course, Alex and his wives ended up in his world due to a few matters.

They received a second chance and more privileges…

“You know… when I leave the Avander World,” Alex whispered, and his lovely daughter nodded to his words as she held her pen, “You also would know… when your mother leaves the world.”

That was because of Celia’s unique and most powerful ability, The Authority. Perhaps, because she was a crucial part of Alex’s change into the dullahan, Celia had somehow marked his soul.

She knew his location and when he logged out. And since her father was from another world, it was fine.

But when Sara and others ‘died’, their souls and bodies disappeared to another world. In a way, they logged out as well. That was precisely what Celia felt, and it was the cause of her loneliness and anger.

“Daddy took mom… to his world… leaving me alone…” Celia started crying again, her tears dropping onto her desk in abundance, “Did daddy forget about me? You don’t want me anymore?”

Those questions scratched Alex’s heart. His daughter sounded so sad and betrayed that even though Alex and Sara never forgot about her or thought about leaving her behind, Alex felt like he had done exactly that.

He quickly extended his hands, embracing Celia. And as Celia felt her father’s warm touch, she burst out with tears, crying louder and louder, “Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!”

Alex tightly held onto her, ruffling her hair, “I would never leave you behind. We will never forget you.

You are our daughter. You are our treasure.

Because of you, Celia, I am so close with everyone. You have always helped me, following me as I became friends with your aunts. Now, I am their husband, and you are my daughter.

I wouldn’t be the same if it weren’t for you,” Alex genuinely whispered, kissing Celia’s forehead, for he meant all he had said.

Celia extended her hands, grasping his cheeks, “I am Celia Deathwill, daddy’s daughter! I wouldn’t be today’s Celia without daddy too!”

Alex brightly smiled, rubbing his nose against Celia’s. She giggled while wiping off her tears, feeling much better after sharing their stories.

“Let’s go outside and have some fun,” Alex said, patting his lovely daughter.

Celia shook her head, “I must finish exercises.”

“Oh, then I will be here to help you,” Alex replied, smiling broadly, for his daughter was as diligent as always.

She quickly grasped a pen, solving her equations again. Alex hovered his eyes on her desk, giving some tips from time to time.

In the meantime, he thought about Celia’s words, ‘I also want you to come over to my world, Celia. But I have no clue how to achieve it…’

The only people who probably had an answer were known as Hungry Demons. And as Alex became their enemy, there was no way they would share what they knew with him.

Thinking about them also hurt Alex. He didn’t know whether Earth would stay the same with those guys plotting behind the scenes. The Dullahan King and other high-level people were already on Earth…

‘If the hungry demons enter our world, the chaos will ensue… For Celia’s future, I must protect Earth and keep it the same… I must do my best…’ A fear clenched Alex’s heart, for he knew that he was currently alone with his wives.

He didn’t know how long it would take for other players to realize the gravity of their situation. Even now, Alex only knew that the Avander World was real. But what was the scheme behind it?

Alex was also not a person who couldn’t unite the whole world, for he wasn’t a god.

‘My own realm… I need my own realm…’ Alex whispered as fear started heightening within him.

He had his own plans, and protecting Earth was one of them, for he wanted Celia to have a good life.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

‘A realm is the safest… A realm that all my beloved can escape to at wish,’ Alex thought, and as his fear reached the peak…

[You have received a new quest.]

[Become Asura(???)]

“Daddy? You are grinning too much!” Celia asked as she glanced at her father.

Alex chuckled, poking her cheek with his finger, pushing her to look back at her exercises, “I just thought of something good.”

“Hmm!” Celia pondered loudly before focusing on her exercises.

And as she did, Alex whispered inwardly, ‘I’m similar to the hungry demons, am I not?

That’s why I must put more pressure on myself… They also work under high stress and pleasure, speaking about their second chance.

Thus, I will be the same,’ Alex thought.

But as Celia furtively glanced at him, Alex spotted her curious eyes, grinning more, “What’s up?”

“Hmm!”

Even with more pressure, Alex would never abandon his principles and plans.

How could he even not think of having a good family time with his daughter?
