Chapter 287: <ERASE> PART 5

The judgement of the god of dungeons was called to an end after a full day. But in the world, Viktor was currently standing and had already passed two months. He wasn’t resting but was very busy with the new system he got.

On the roof of a tall building that belonged to a demon, he sat and calmly looked at all the reports the system was giving to him and at that moment, someone approached Viktor.

It was midnight, the sky was filled with dazzling stars and a cold wind was passing by. It was Viktor’s type of weather.

"What are you doing here?" The unknown man asked the white-haired person who was sitting at the edge of the building with lots of transparent floating screens.

As Viktor turned back, he saw the man and sensed he was a demon, not a human. He had dark hair, light golden eyes and a tall figure. His manly face somehow reminded him of Mors but he looked a little different.

The man slowly approached Viktor wearing shiny black shoes and a black blazer, somehow he looked like a mafia to Viktor.

"This is my company building and only demons are allowed in here. Judging by your appearance, you don’t look like a demon, neither a human nor an elf. If you were a beastkin, you’d smell like a dog but you don’t have that too. What are you, and why are you sitting here?"

Viktor closed his device and looked at the demon who was running his mouth continuously. He wasn’t annoyed but was curious instead. It had been a while since he talked with someone else rather than Raphael.

So he told the demon to take a seat beside him and promised him to answer every question of his.

"What is your name?" The demon asked.

"I am Viktor E. North. I am not a mortal being. I’m a celestial being who’s just visiting here. And you are?"

"I am Jason. A demon." The demon couldn’t ask anything about him anymore because the moment he sat close to Viktor, he felt like he was an ant sitting beside a huge mountain. He was sure the person he was sitting next to wasn’t a human or a demon. He wasn’t a mortal being in any way because a person had a shadow below him. Viktor had light below him. He wasn’t accumulating any shadow of his body. Also, demons can feel presence so when Jason was trying to feel Viktor, he could feel nothing but a huge sun who’s ready to chop his head off.

He was scared to death but didn’t dare to move because Viktor told him to sit. Jason couldn’t disobey him even if it took his life.

"So, Jason, right? I met a man who had the same name here in this world. He was also a demon. It’s been a while since I saw him but to him, it must be a month?

Hm.. I don’t care, really. Demons tend to follow me everywhere I go."

Silence envelopes everywhere after Viktor stopped talking. He wasn’t interested in that man, and neither the demon had any intention of talking to him. He wanted to run away as soon as possible but he couldn’t move a finger. He was sweating and trembling in fear.

Viktor noticed him and again said, "Don’t worry. I won’t kill you." Standing up, he looked around and before leaving the building, he said, "Jason, right? Take care. I shall take my leave."

But when he was about to leave, Jason said, W..what are you.."

"Me? I am a traveller from Helsia."

Saying that Viktor left and went to pick up Raphael because it was almost time for them to leave Arcadia and go back to Erok. Because it was the link to Helsia, the quickest way back to heaven.

Raphael on the other hand was busy parting with some random kids somewhere in the east continent where Viktor previously lived. It had been two months since they came to Arcadia and went their own way. Viktor was busy with his work and Raphael was outside doing whatever he wanted.

But something else happened in two months.

Since gods do not have a gender and they do not keep one appearance for a long time, Raphel changed his gender and turned into a woman.

He turned into something that Viktor could never do because of his mortal past. So by the time Viktor discovered Raphael in that state, he was shocked even though he knew it beforehand.

On the roof of a tall building, there was a huge party held by some rich youngsters. It was someone’s birthday and Raphael went there after she made some friends. It hasn’t been long since she became a woman so she had a little difficulty maintaining her appearance.

But her beauty was something nobody could take lightly. Also, she was very powerful compared to any people she came across so in a small amount of time, she became pretty famous. She raided multiple dungeons alone, made her name in many guilds but they failed to recruit them.

When they talked about money, she showed them her W.express card and walked away. Some also tried to find out her source of money but all they found was the small 15-year-old boy that they searched for the past 2 months, leading them to ask her multiple questions but she never agreed to answer any of them.

She just simply spent her time partying with rich kids.

And when she was about to have the greatest time of her life, Viktor appeared and stood on the table which she was sitting in front of.

"Raphael, you’re not allowed to drink yet." All the kids at the party suddenly stopped dancing after seeing a tall man with a striking appearance. Since Viktor was reflecting the look of his real body, some kids fell in love with him despite their age. But the look Raphael had was the total opposite of everyone’s.

"D..dad?? What are you doing here?"

"That’s what I should be asking. What are you doing here?"

"Um.. I’m here with my friends. We are having a big party. It’s my best friend’s birthday."

Viktor looked around and saw the whole crowd was looking at him. Most of them were youngsters but some of them looked like adults, over the age of 30. They were guards who were guarding the star of the party, the birthday girl.

"Dad, since you are here, let me introduce you to my best friend. This is Charla, a demon. She just turned 20 this year. Can you believe it? 20 years and they are allowed to drink!"

Charla laughed and said, "What, are you a baby or something? Everyone is allowed to drink when they become 17. Don’t tell me you’re underage."

Charla was a demon for sure but Viktor noticed the smell he got from her. She was indeed a demon but she was a mixed race between elf and demon. She had demonic aura and elven aura mixed in her core, leading her to become more strong than any pure blood. Moreover, she was beautiful and she got her beauty from her elven blood. The demonic part of her just made her stronger.

Not to mention, she was the daughter of some demonic guild master.

Hearing her age, Raphael laughed and said, "You better start calling me your godmother. I am a h.."

"Okay! Enough with the chit-chat. Raphael, we are leaving now."

"What? Already?" Viktor grabbed by her collar and the moment he was about to jump off the edge of the building, Charla’s father came and grabbed Raphael’s hand.

"You can’t just drag a beautiful lady like this. And are you even her father? You don’t look like you’re above 25. Are you kidnapping her?"

"Think of me as her guardian. Now excuse me. We are running out of time."

"But dad, at least give me some time to say goodbye to Charla."

"Hah.. okay. 20 minutes. Then we will leave."

"Yes!!"

Viktor let her go and sat on a chair in the corner of the crowd to look after her. He wasn’t annoyed or angry, he was just holding onto the link to Erok which was about to disappear in 10 hours.

But when he was about to enjoy a meal, the father of Charla came closer to him and took a seat beside him. After offering him a drink, he said, "I never thought my child would make a friend after so long. She was always lonely, had difficulty communicating and making simple eye contact. After she met Raphael in a dungeon, she became free, very friendly and happy. I was thinking of taking Raphael as her personal guard but I couldn’t even speak to her because she kept dodging the question.

Since you’re here, her guardian. I would like to ask you. I would do anything for my daughter’s happiness. I have tons of money so you can offer any amount." The man looked at Viktor but saw no change in his face. He was sitting there, enjoying his drink and the party. He then said,

"Raphael is not a being you can buy with your money just for your daughter’s happiness. She’s just a child who learned how to walk a few days ago. I don’t want her to become chained with any job or responsibility."

"It’s money I am talking about. It’s an amount you can ever imagine."

"Money? Riches? Gold? Do you think those are worthy to me?" Viktor turned the glass he was holding into pure gold along with the drink and put it on the table between them.

"This mana gold is probably worth a few billion Units. This glass might be the finest gold you can ever find on this planet and I just made it. Now tell me, is my daughter someone you can buy with a few zeroes? She is worth more than this universe."

Giving off a smirk, Viktor called Raphael and said, "Are you done saying goodbye?"

"Yes, she was insisting me to stay but I have other things to do. Mortals are really emotional. They don’t know how to accept changes."

"Hm. So you learned something new about them."

"Yes. Now let’s go. I heard we are heading to Erok? Is that a new planet?"

"Yes."

The moment the man was about to stop both of them again, both of them quickly disappeared and turned into pixels. The man was shocked but after a few seconds, he forgot everything about the conversation due to Viktor’s memory erased. He also erased every clue related to him and Raphael off the planet and entered the other planet Erok through the link he saved.

But what awaited him was really unexpected.
