"Well, here we are again..." He commented wistfully as he found me in my bed, waking up from my unconscious state that God knows how long it lasted. My sore body and a few bandages around my body were proof that what happened was not a dream.
The last thing I remembered was how I created some sort of special gravity to counteract the Distortion Flame, which resulted in us breaking space.
I mean, I basically almost died, right? I was literally temporarily ejected from space, I don't know what the shockwave of the attack saved me, but certainly surviving currently was a miracle.
"And what training..." I wasn't a coward, but to be all the time almost dying, it gets a little tired, a little quite certainly.... Who the hell wants to risk their life every time? I'm certainly not one of them.
Anyway, is the Distortion Element really that powerful? How the hell was the Baron my subordinate back then with such a huge element? Did I recruit him when he was weak and now he's powerful? Or was he terrifyingly powerful before?
'Wait, if he was terrifyingly powerful before, does that mean...? At eight I was possibly at the Baron's level? I mean they didn't just erase my memories, they erased my powerful ones too, right?' I thought, of course, many questions arose in my mind now.
If I had to be completely honest, if I were to suspect anyone, it would be, obviously the people I'm currently surrounded by, Emerald and the Baron, the only thing that doesn't sit right with me is that.... Why do they treat me so well and are so nice to me? Why the extreme respect? Either I was lucky to meet them or they themselves erased my memories in order to... What exactly? I had no idea and that scares me.
It's not like I can confront them either, after all I'm very weak and to get information you need three things: strength, talent and smart.
I have the last two, but the first one I don't, a Talent with incredible intelligence is very fragile in the world, but with strength to back it up it's not so, unfortunately, I barely got some of that "Strength"
"Speaking of the world... What will Ahilon be like?" I wondered curiously still lying on my bed, certainly I had almost never wondered exactly the world, I had read one or the other book, but not exactly something concrete about Ahilon's history.
I only knew that, there were monsters, Clans and various races, that was all.... And I was previously among the most feared races, a Royal Vampire, but of course, now I'm just a simple and miserable Vampire.
"Ahhh, this sucks" I said, a little disgusted at the thought of me as a commoner again, but I had gotten used to it.... No, I had just turned a blind eye, I would never get used to being a commoner..... NEVER!
I got up from the bed, turning my attention to my New Duranvil who was lying in a corner, if beauty was amazing despite her black color, in fact I think that gives her her beauty and her menacing; honestly I was starting to think about changing her name or modifying it to "Shadow Duranvil" or "Duranvil Shadow"....
"No, too long, it would be tedious to repeat such a long name in my upcoming epic battles" I shrugged, blaming myself for choosing such ridiculous names.
With my body a little sore, I walked out of my room through the door, down the stairs and headed towards the bathroom, where I went to relieve myself, brush my teeth, remove the bandages and take a refreshing shower to my body, I didn't know how long I had been out, but my body smelled the same as always, something that obviously impressed me.
Leaving the bathroom, I quickly changed to head to the kitchen, which had dishes ready, which I opened without looking twice.
I ate each dish quickly, apparently I had lasted a while out of services, because I was very hungry, fortunately the food was as tasty as the last one I tasted before the training, it was even hot, as if it had just been served.
'20 out of 10, great food' I said to myself with a smirk, starting to walk again, this time to the living room where the TV was, sitting down on the couch and grabbing the remote, to turn the TV on.
I hadn't watched many shows here, but there was one that I definitely liked quite a bit and it was.... Love Sanctuary!
"What the hell, where's Love Sanctuary!" I yelled in despair, before, I always watched it on TV because it was a 24/7 show, there weren't many breaks for them, but it was definitely entertaining, especially the end of season 6 when Jeremy confessed to Jessica.
[Santuario del Amor declares its cancellation due to some demands from several TV stations] The voice of a TV presenter reached the living room, no... In my case, it reached the whole world, my soul and my heart, breaking them to pieces.
Sure, they weren't as handsome or beautiful as Emerald or me, although according to the narrators and themselves they were said to be handsome, but by my standards they were normal at best chaotic, not to say ugly....
But stupid stupid people doing stupid things on an island full of hormones and lustful desire was fun to watch.... It was my only source of entertainment, my reason for not killing myself over training, my reason for not giving up on the Test and the only series that could make me laugh out loud.
"Oh? Why are you crying?" Emerald's sudden voice behind me caught me off guard, despite my heightened senses, I didn't feel it at all.
"...Me?" *Sollozo* Crying? *Sollozo* Impossible" I managed to say between.... Manly pauses? Yes, that, manly pauses.
I didn't turn around to look at Emerald, but from the silence, I could only guess that she rolled her eyes, then heard a sound of holding on with all her might not to burst out laughing.... Possibly because the presenter spoke again declaring again the cancellation of my favorite show.
"Stupid human, I swear I will torture you and make you suffer infinitely if I ever saw you" I muttered with embarrassment, in fact at this moment I could feel my face red with shame, but still I have my forehead up, forehead being hidden by the sofa....
"Hey, Lord Crimson... Would you like to get out of here and see more of the world? I mean... Get to know Ahilon?"
