The sizzling sound of a tasty piece of meat was making Adonis drool all over his mouth. It was midnight so everyone in the house was absent. They all left to roam around so Viktor made full use of the time.
He was preparing a meal for Adonis because he worked so hard for 3 days straight.
"Master, aren't you going to eat?"
Viktor served the food in front of him and said, "Nah, I'm good. I'll have an orange."
Viktor took a seat in front of him after taking off the apron and poured a full glass of wine. He was thinking about having a full glass after a while.
"Master, this meat is very tender and juicy. You're missing it."
"Just eat it. It's all for you because you worked so hard."
Viktor took off his glasses and took his first sip of the glass. The golden sparkling wine instantly kicked his head and made him feel dizzy. It was the wine he made from flowing the recipe of a guardian.
It's a wine that Gods usually enjoy
Viktor poured another glass for Adonis and said, "Treat yourself. Dragon steak goes well with this wine."
Adonis put down his steak knife and said, "Master, I forgot something to inform you."
"What is it?"
"The dragon I caught from Cosmo has grown a lot because of the comfortable environment and 3 meals a day. It has actually become a high-dragon. Moreover, the egg I rescued a few years ago has also hatched and it has become a partner of that high dragon.
They are also preparing to mate in their season. I'm expecting 4-6 eggs."
"It's been almost 5 years, huh? Although, dragon races are greater than human beings in terms of age. They can live up to thousands of years without ageing. From some old records, they say some dragons are born immortal and they have their unique human form. But preparing for the next mating season at the age of 5 feels like the elder dragon is a creepy pervert."
"Hahaha…master. What are you even saying? That chibi dragon might look like an innocent little dragon. But she's more mature than any other dragon I've ever studied."
Viktor poured another glass of wine and said, "Oh, Is that so…" He then said, "So, what are you going to do with the kids? I guess you need a new room in your dimension room."
"No, I don't plan on keeping them alive. I need them to create new clones. A new race born from clone humans and real dragons. But this will be done naturally."
Viktor's eyes became wide to hear that. By the term 'naturally' meant Adonis will not be creating any clones. He was planning to make his clones pregnant with the high-dragon babies.
He was speechless…
"Wait, you're going to make that pervert clone pregnant?"
"I guess so?"
Viktor sighed and said, "Well, do whatever you want as long as it doesn't get out of your control."
Adonis nodded his head and smiled politely. He then complained, "Even if I become the greatest evil of this universe, master is never going to scold me."
"That's because I'm not a saint myself. And I love seeing you create things instead of sticking to me all the time."
Viktor took the empty plate and started to wash them. It was nearly 2 am so he said, "You better go to sleep now. You've worked hard."
"Master, at least let me do the dishes."
"Nope. Go to sleep. I'll take care of things now. Also, I'm heading out for a bit. See you tomorrow afternoon."
"Hah.. as you wish, master. I will take my leave. Thank you for the meal." Adonis left the kitchen and quickly went to bed. His phone was full of messages but he was so dead tired that he didn't even care about it.
He fell into a deep sleep.
…
'Looks like he's asleep. I can go outside now and walk around. I'm also tired but I want to see the face of the earth. My eyes are hurting after seeing only fields for 4 years.'
He wore a black long jacket and left home after informing the butler.
The fresh air comforted his face after a long time. He took a deep breath and exhaled all of his exhaustion. He then looked at the city and followed a path towards it.
The rainy season was knocking at the door.
'The wind is cold. This is very refreshing. I guess I will have a great walk tonight.'
Viktor entered the city and saw the people still walking around and drinking. It was Saturday night so the streets were particularly busier than on other nights.
It was a disaster in the pub so he couldn't enter anywhere to buy a shot. It was overcrowded.
'What a letdown..'
He walked out of the pub which he barely entered and then saw someone familiar. It was someone from his college so that person started to follow him.
'Why is he following me-_-?'
He then looked back and took a glance at his record. He was a prince of some European continent and he was very curious about his real identity.
Out of nowhere, he started to talk in French and said, "Aren't you Viktor E. North? I wonder why you always get away with so many leaves in a month where I can't even get a single day."
"That's because I'm a special student. I can even skip 4 years and still graduate. Moreover, why is a prince like you walking around the street at this hour?"
"I am surprised that you can speak so fluently in French. I was also going to ask you the same question. What are you doing here at this hour?"
Viktor felt the presence of another mana user behind him and then saw the girl with dark hair. She also spotted Viktor on her way home so she changed her path and started to follow him. She was curious.
Viktor then looked at the prince again and said, "I'm out here for a walk. Nothing particular. I just finished my studies so you could say it's my off time."
"It's unbelievable that someone like you who skips most of his classes actually studied. The professors will faint to hear such vulgar jokes."
'Is he trying to insult me-_-? Whatever that is, it's not working at all because I'm curious about that girl who's stalking me.'
Viktor looked at his phone and said, "If you're finished, then I'll take my leave. I'm a busy person and I do not have any time to spare for you. So excuse me."
Viktor turned back and started to walk in the opposite direction. He was heading to the place where he used to play back in 2017 and at that moment, the girl appeared.
She was following him for 20 minutes straight and decided to show up when there were no people around them.
'I intentionally walked this path because I wanted to make sure to have a conversation with her in an empty place. Now let's see what she's going to say.'
"Um.. You're Viktor, right?"
"Yes. You're from class 1-B at our academy. Right?"
"I guess you've already seen me around the campus then. I'm Rita Arlin. I'm from Ireland but as you can see, I'm half Korean."
"Oh, nice to meet you. I'm Viktor E. North."
'She looks just the same as when I saw her back in the Vestrain capital red light district.'
That night when Viktor was going back to his house after a drink he noticed a girl in the centre of the street of the red light district. That night, she was wearing a long red Panama with silk red fabric around her wide chest. Her body was decorated with dazzling gold chains and small anklets. Her whole body was dancing along the melody like a bright red star in the sky full of dim stars. She was the main attraction of every man and that's when she noticed a silver-haired man passing by.
Their eyes met but the man only stood there for a couple of seconds and then turned his gaze elsewhere. He simply walked away and the woman who was dancing kept staring at his back till he became lost in the crowd. That was her first time, also her last time to see such a man in her life.
'But, how can she look just the same as her? She looks the same from her head to toe except for her chest-_-. She's still a kid I guess.'
The girl looked at his face from up close and said, "It's you. I knew it."
Viktor quickly read her records and saw that she was born with some past life memories of her. The memories of her past life triggered her look and also her maturity. But she can't actually remember that in real life. She gets some episodes of her past life in her dreams. But how can she think that I'm the one from her dream? Viktor Harvort and my current body definitely have some major differences.'
"What are you talking about?' Viktor asked and crossed her arms.
"You're the person from my dream. I get this same dream over and over again so many times that I've already memorized his face. There's no mistake. It's you, right? You're my past life husband."
Viktor nearly lost his sanity from destroying the whole park and thought, 'Kid, you've slept with more than hundreds of men in your past life.'
"Past life? Is this kind of joke trendy these days?"
The girl was a little embarrassed because she didn't expect that answer from Viktor. Since she was beautiful and had pride in her beauty, she thought she could get away with her foolishness. But she was wrong.
"Um..I mean, you must be my soulmate..no I mean.. um.. You're supposed to be…um… ugh!!!!!!"
She quickly ran away from him because of embarrassment. She was also regretting why she would say something so childish in front of him casually.
Viktor laughed so hard at her embarrassing act.
'That's the reason why my existence is needed. There are so many souls in the universe who are living with some fragments of their past life memories. Usually, mortals aren't supposed to be born with their past life memories because it will ruin the balance of the world. They will cause chaos, and destruction with their knowledge and disturb the nature of the mortal family. And this is where my power comes in handy. As the guardian of record, it's my job to erase the extra memories from all newborn babies to maintain the balance.'
Viktor took her book out of his library and opened the lid of his golden pen. He quickly pointed out all her extra memories and drew a long red line over the writings.
The words vanished without a trace from her record. Also, he erased the moment when they had a conversation.
'That'll be enough. Now she will never remember what happened back in the red light district. I hope you can become a better person in this life. That's because you're going through your last reincarnation. After your death, you'll no longer reincarnate and get the chance to do some good deeds. You'll stand before the angel of judgement and you will be judged based on how you lived as 77 different people.'
Viktor closed her record and put it back in his library.
"I wish you good luck. Because the judge is corrupted from deep down in his soul."
The smile on his face became devilish and then, he vanished from the place by turning into smoke.
