(Gore scenes ahead. Read at your own risk.)
The sun had started to rise and if a person was able to fly and at the right spot, looked down through the window of a huge mansion they would see a black haired kid holding a small, glowing crystal as he sat with his legs crossed.
Victor shook his head violently and clapped his cheeks. 'Two more crystals, Victor. Two more crystals to go.' He focused all his attention back to the crystal in his hands and after a minute it crumbled to pieces. 'Last one…' but the last one also crumbled to pieces in his small hands.
'Sigh…. I used about 400 used mana crystals and only got 40 low grade mana crystals and 60 semi low grade ones…. Well, it doesn't matter anyways. Now I have 160 low grade and 150 semi low grade. Man…. I'm so tired. But first, I gotta sort things out.'
He put all the low grade mana crystals in a gunny sack and put the sack inside the storage bag with the highest capacity. Then he just dumped all the semi low grade crystals into the bag with 10 square cube space. Then he took out the money from the small bag and counted them.
'1 silver coin, 115 bronze coins and 8000 stone rings…. more than enough to start my plan. But now, Time to sleep!!'
He walked to his bed and slept beside Cindy without even noticing her. After 30 minutes, the blanket was wrapped around Victor as he slept in an awkward position, he turned around and kicked Cindy out of the bed.
"Ugh….What happened…." Cindy woke up and looked around only to see the walls and items in Victor's room. She blushed as she remembered Victor telling her that she smelt good. But tears flowed out of her eyes as she involuntarily remembered what happened in Koby's room last night. She looked out of the window and ran out of the room as she saw that the sun was already up in the sky.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She knocked on koby's door and waited. The door opened and Bull said "Come in, sister Cindy.", with a sad , helpless look in his face.
"Slave girl, you are late. But no worries, just go stand there and be my punching bag."
Bull just stood beside Cindy, staring at Koby with hatred as he remembered the way Koby whipped and punched Cindy last night.
"You are not my master. Lord Kevin is my master and he clearly told me to teach you the basics of water magic, not to be your punching bag." Cindy retaliates . 'Yesterday you abused me but after master Victor asked me about the contract, I realized my mystake.'
"Oh. Now you want to go against me, slave girl?"
"You are not my master and I didn't receive any orders to listen to you. Master Kevin only told me to teach you." Cindy says stubbornly.
"Oy slave boy, what were your orders?"
"My orders are to listen and obey whatever master Koby says."
"Good, tie her up." Koby said as he stared at Cindy.
Cindy's eyes widened as she realized what Koby was up to. "Aren't you afraid of the concequences?"
"Father won't punish me for hitting a slave. You must be really happy being with my brother but I will show you hell every single time I can. Oy slave boy, not listening to my orders huh? No worries, I'll tie her up myself."
Just after her finished talking, he jumped towards Cindy and caught her hands. Then he took out a rope from his pocket and proceeded to tie her hands as she struggled to get free from his clutches. 'He is too strong for me , I have to use magic to escape.'
Cindy's irises turned blue and the hands became wet as she coated them with water and blasted Koby with a water ball that hit him right in the chest.
Cindy ran towards the door but Koby wasn't slow in reacting either. He took a heavy candle stand and threw it at her. She saw him throwing it from the corner of her eyes and ducked down. But unfortunately, Koby had aimed for her back and not her head.
The candle stand hit her directly on the head. The pain assaulted her 'Oh, no. If I don't get out of this room, I don't know if I will be able to live or not.' She bit her lips and opened the door.

'Hmm….an operation theatre?' Victor thought as he observed his surroundings.
The doctors and nurses were attending to a lady going through labor. It looked like the lady on the operation table was doused with anesthetics as she didn't make a single sound as the doctors cut open her stomach to get the baby out.
'Alice.....' Victor looked at her with a sad expression. He remembered vague things about his powers and his previous reincarnations. Like, this was his 7th and the last reincarnation and he knew that he had lived a life as a normal man, a mage, an emperor and a hacker. There was always four lines that ran through his head every time he thought about his reincarnations.
Humans are the most complex and dangerous creatures.
A slave will always be a slave, no matter how talented.
Evil has no place for trust and kindness.
Strength and silence make the perfect harmony together.
A long high-pitched shriek woke Victor up from his thoughts. As he looked at the small creature in one of the nurse's embrace, he whispered "Why?"
"Clean up the baby and deliver the good news to the patient's loved ones." The doctor said to one of the nurses and started stitching up the cut he had made on the stomach.
The nurse silently cleaned up the baby and wrapped it up in a clean, white cotton cloth and walked out.
Victor was automatically pulled out of the room to the corridor. There he saw the nurse handing out the child to a man with a short, unkempt stubble.
Victor just saw and all this and waited. 'I know this life was fked up. I don't want to see the happy moments .'
A few minutes later, the scene changed and Victor was floating in the sky as he looked down, he saw ten men wearing weird looking cloaks and running behind two people and just as he recognized his past self and Alice, he appeared beside them. They ran to an abandoned building and hid in the second floor.
"Alice, who are these people and why are they are you?"
"I'm sorry for hiding it from you, max. I am actually the daughter of the patriarch of a tribe. Telling you the details will bring you more harm. Take the baby and go away from here. They can track me by the blood that flows through my veins but they won't be able to find you, if you aren't with me."
"NO!! I'm never going to leave you Alice, never." He shouted. But it was a bad choice.
"You are doing this for our daughter, Mark. I want her to live happily so, please run away from here." Alice whispered and ran out of the room as she shouted random things.
Victor's past self, Mark wanted to follow her but stopped and he looked at the baby he held in his hands. "I'll name you Alice." He said as he cried silently. After a few minutes ,he left the building and saw the men crouching down and doing some sort of prayer. But , what mark couldn't see was seen by Victor who was floating in the air. The creepy looking men pulled off the flesh of alice with their bare hands and dumped it into their mouth and spit the chewed meat back at the place where it was ripped off.
The scene became cloudy and Victor was once again in a different environment. He was in a room full of tools and machines. He saw his past self working on a broken down car. 'To think that this would be the last car I would have repaired .... And I couldn't even drive it.'
A few minutes later a teenage girl enters the room and hugs Mark and says "Dad, I want to introduce you to my boyfriend."
"HUH?? You have a boyfriend already?"
"Yes, uncle mark. She has a boyfriend." A low pitched voice came from the door and a tall guy entered.
Mark's eyes opened wide as he saw who it was and before he could say anything, a blade sliced his neck. His daughter, Alice whispered "Sorry dad, but I don't like the restrictions you have placed on me."
Mark's last thoughts echoed in Victor's mind 'You killed my wife and now you use my daughter to kill me... I curse you bastards with all my soul.'
Victor just looked at the scene silently 'Killing her father for a guy who she barely knew for 2 years…. "Humans are the most complex and dangerous indeed." *sigh* '
