Chereads / Death's Lover / Chapter 20 - He's Back

Chapter 20 - He's Back

"Wh-who the hell are you and why are you kissing me!?"

With Aranea backing away as she hid her lips with her forearm, the blue-haired man who came out of nowhere approached her, making Aranea stand up abruptly but was suddenly stopped when he knelt down right in front of her.

"Where is my phone!? Why did you turn into a human being? Why did you kiss me!?"

Ignoring her series of questions, the man held her right hand then he kissed the back of her palm, introducing himself to her—everyone flabbergasted with what he said.

"My name is Leonel. I am your loyal familiar that you have summoned, Aranea Griffin."

---

Aranea Griffin, together with her twin sister, Elenea Griffin, received an invitation to enroll in a magic school.

Their foster mother was ecstatic to receive such news! However, she felt doubt on how Aranea had received the invitation when they knew that she did not possess any magical powers compared to her twin sister having musical, healing powers!

That was what most people thought... until Aranea kissed her phone, transforming it into a man who claimed to be her loyal familiar!

Maybe Aranea may not be as powerless as they think she is...

"Nnngh..."

Lilith groaned as she scrolled past her phone, finding for a good e-book to read. Since her lessons with Sicily are over, now she has time to spare her boring day...

She loved reading during her spare time and with the help of technology, she is able to read contemporary stories online as well.

She came across web novels, what Lilith would like to call a soap opera version for bookworms for its short but many chapters.

'This story is interesting... but maybe I'd read it someday so I'll just add it to my library.'

Lilith scrolled again, now reading another synopsis of a work made by MysticAmy.

"Good morning, everyone!"

His sultry voice sounded in the classroom as he greeted his students.

"Welcome to Assessment of Student Learning class, and I, Pan An, would be your professor."

Most of the girls in the room stifled their swoon as the boys internally rolled their eyes at the women who reacted that way.

At the back of the classroom, however, was Shu Xian, the only woman who didn't swoon when she saw who their Assessment of Student Learning professor was.

Her eyes were wide open as her mouth was agape, her heart thumping hard in her chest as she couldn't believe what was happening in her life right now.

'I am living under my professor's roof!?'

---

19-year-old university student named Shu Xian was left irreparable when she was kicked out of her apartment due to not paying her rent since she only earned a little from her part-time job.

Luckily, however, a man who was jogging by the park that same night saw that Shu Xian was about to get assaulted and saved her, taking her in for the night at the same time!

Waking up to an unfamiliar place, Shu Xian came out of the room and found the man. He introduced himself as Pan An and upon knowing from Shu Xian that she had no place to stay, had offered her to stay in his place.

Unknowingly, though, when she went to the university where she studies, it turns out that the man who saved her is actually now her college professor and that they're living together!

With the current situation given to Shu Xian, would she be able to succeed in keeping this a secret while she lives under his roof and studies in the same university where he works?

Could there be other intentions as to why the professor asked her to stay? If so, what could they be?

Is staying under one roof beneficial to them—or will it just hinder their lives as a teacher and as a student?

Let us know what would happen as we unravel Pan An's intentions and Shu Xian's struggles in the story entitled, "Fancy Me, Professor!"

"Contemporary romance, hmm..."

Lilith nodded slowly, talking to herself as she clicked the "add to library button". It didn't quite pique her curiosity. However, right at this moment, she remembered Angeal, a family member of the Kingdom of Gehenna, who is also writing.

"Aaah! Maybe I can search for Angeal's story! I heard that she wrote about it online, too!"

With that, she typed in "The Soul Eater's Possession" title in the search box, immediately finding it then now reading its synopsis.

***

Punished by the Almighty Seraphim, Devin was branded a fallen angel and was given a curse to become a Soul Eater—a being who is hungry for souls and feeds on them for sustenance.

Devin was bound on earth, looking for clues on how to cure his irrevocable curse until a desperate old man saw the Soul Eater and begged him to save his newborn granddaughter's life.

However... it comes with the price of selling both of their souls.

With the old man giving both of their lives to the Soul Eater, what path lies ahead for Angeal as she grows in a house full of magical immortals?

With the Soul Eater cursed and with them eventually knowing that the sweet innocent girl he saved is the cure, will their relationship be a boon or a bane?

Will they perhaps have sweet love, forbidden love... or maybe even both?

With the given thoughts at hand, will fate bless their lives... or curse them even more?

Let us know the answers to these questions as we unravel the story of Angeal being the Soul Eater's Possession.

"As expected by Angeal," Lilith mumbled to herself as she made the comment. "Really writing it from experience really does help make it more interesting and authentic."

She clicked the "add to library" button again, suddenly surprised with Sicily barging in the library to announce something to Lilith.

"Let's go to the throne room—right now!"

"Why? What's wrong?" Lilith asked, furrowing her brows together.

"Amon. He's back."
