Chapter 95: A guest
The next day.
After ordering some earrings for himself, he went inside his personal space room to experiment with a box that he recently created. For the past few years, he continued a long-term experiment to figure out the core of mana.
Mana is an unknown power that flows inside living beings. It can be stored by magic spells or objects or it can be used as an attack or defence magic.
Mana also affects the human body. Its existence within a body can increase its lifespan and boost the regeneration process.
But in Viktor\'s mind, there was only one question, \'How do I create mana like nature does?\'
Mana is like electric waves floating and flowing through everything. It\'s also in our body and it\'s controlled by electric brain waves from our brain.
If a human can make an unlimited electricity supply from a nuclear power plant, why can\'t I make a power plant for mana?
Viktor took out a small dark box from a huge floating machine and opened it to see the small growling stone.
He took the stone and saw some small glowing balls orbiting around a small ball.
\'I wonder if it\'s going to work like a power plant.\'
He placed the small stone in a small hole in a plant and it started to grow quickly without any mud or water. The mana was enough for it to grow from a small plant to a huge tree.
So he quickly took it out because the space room wasn\'t big enough to hold the weight.
\'Well, not bad. But still not enough.\'
He put the small stone in a bucket full of the same stones and wrote down his 860th experiment result. He wasn\'t satisfied with the result.
\'I guess I should update my machine instead of the formula.\'
Suddenly, he heard Adonis calling him. So he stopped his study for that day and went outside to hear why he was calling him. He took off his lab coat and opened the door to his apartment and Adonis jumped in front of him at the same time.
"Master, a letter came from the jewellery shop."
"Huh? A letter from that heartbroken guy?"
Viktor took out the letter and saw he had already finished making the product that he ordered. Even he prepared one extra set because 10 gold coins for five small earrings were too much.
"I see. But I don\'t want to go today. Not even tomorrow because I want to sleep now. I worked hard last night."
"Master, should I prepare your bed then?"
"Yes. Make it warm."
It\'s almost 4 pm. Should I eat dinner already? Because I\'m not going to wake up for two days. And I\'m so bored. Plus, I have nothing to do!
Viktor jumped on his sofa and took a mana stone that he made from his pocket. It was red and it had some tiny glowing balls circling a small ball.
It was a low mana stone but its power was enough to run a country for 20 years. But to Viktor, it wasn\'t even near his expectation.
This small thing can trigger world war 3 in my world. It can take millions of lives, and millions of innocent people\'s houses. People won\'t even hesitate to kill his family and friends. Even leaders will sell their country to achieve this small stone. But to me, this isn\'t enough to save myself from the light blow of the heaven\'s guardian. Not even a thousand of this stone is enough.
It\'s like I\'m planning to run a city with a small, nearly dead battery for a millisecond. Hahah! We\'re even too small compared to their actual size. How are we supposed to fight with them? This is ridiculous.
Adonis came out of that small bathroom and told Viktor that the water was ready. So he went inside and went inside his bathtub to warm himself up.
The water is perfect just like everyday. And the perfect rainy gloomy water is perfect for sleeping too. I will have a great sleep today.
…
The next day inside his record library.
Viktor was busy reading a record that he found after searching for so many months. It was a famous heaven guardian record who was famous for various types of experiments and achievements. Not only that but he was also known as the heavenly doctor who lived below the heavenly realm or the 2nd realm.
Unfortunately, he performed a ritual to summon a hell\'s guardian unknowingly. For that sin, he was executed. And his soul was purified.
But you left very valuable documents for me, sir. I didn\'t know there was hell\'s guardian as well. And your experiments are super valuable.
For memorizing the records of that guardian, a new section of records appeared and he became astonished. It was the section of hell\'s guardian.
Viktor looked behind and said, "I will come for you later. Because I\'m busy with something else."
Tsk! But where can I find these incidents to make an infinity mana stone? I don\'t think they even exist on any planet. It\'s a heavenly plant and it\'s also rare.
Viktor put back his record and went inside the hell\'s section to see what kind of place is hell, and he witnessed something unusual.
In hell\'s realm, there is no such thing called death. All the hell\'s guardians are appointed with souls to punish them. The final death after a person\'s 66th reincarnation, somehow that person gains all his past life\'s memories when he goes through the flashback episode. If he\'s unfortunate, a guardian of hell comes and drags his soul into hell to burn him for eternity.
But there are thousands of cases where a hell\'s guardian is summoned in exchange for a living person\'s soul.
But it\'s a taboo.
Because a hell guardian is a high devil. And summoning a devil can cause the summoner\'s death.
Viktor\'s jaw nearly left him because he opened a book that looked a little different for everyone.
Lucifer?? Wait, he exists?? I thought he was nothing but fantasy!
And he\'s so old that I can\'t even finish the numbers!!
Viktor closed the book and woke up from his sleep after two days with wide eyes. And then he saw the orange eyes of Adonis.
"Are you hungry?"
"Master, is that what you want to ask after sleeping for more than 50 hours?"
"No, I just saw something really weird and I don\'t think I can\'t accept the fact.
He didn\'t eat for 2 days, and his eyes are deep orange. It\'s really easy to tell if he\'s full or hungry.
When Adonis is full, his eyes become bright golden that glows in the dark. If he\'s not hungry or full, his eyes show deep yellow. And if he\'s hungry, they are deep orange.
"Master, why are you staring at my eyes?"
"Because someone starved for 2 days. Let\'s go. I\'ll cook food today. Go and listen to the radio. It\'s your day off."
"Thank you, master."
Oh! He\'s so hungry that he didn\'t even hesitate to take a day off after his master woke up with the same empty stomach as him. Hah!
Viktor looked outside and saw it was still midnight. So he decided to cook a heavy meal. He was also hungry.
"I\'ll make some barbecue today and make Adonis cry again."
He jumped off the bed and changed into his casual getup to walk around the house. "Adonis!! Bring your radio to the balcony! We\'re cooking food outside."
"Cook where??"
Adonis was shocked.
In that meantime, Welis couldn\'t understand why his viewing orb captured the footage where he was speaking to his customers after closing everything. It was a device that works as a surveillance camera that Viktor didn\'t know and unknowingly, he left a big piece of evidence.
"Why did I bow my head to that person? And why don\'t I have any memories of it? Is he a part of that lizard\'s gang? If that\'s the truth, I need to go and ask him right away. I can\'t believe he erased my memories!!"
Welis turned into a dark shadow right after he put down his orb and flew outside to search for the customer. He was scared because he thought his identity was exposed to the dragon guardian.
Back on the balcony.
The red fire was coming out of the burner below the smoky sizzling meat. Viktor flipped a piece of meat and stabbed it with a sharp fork to see if that was cooked and saw the glowing orange eyes of Adonis. So he laughed and said, "Aren\'t you going to enjoy your weekend radio show?"
"Master, this is much better than a radio show. But what is this dish called?"
"Barbeque. You can make food like this as well. But it requires a lot of experience or you will burn the meat and the inside will stay raw."
"May I try to cook one, master?"
"No, it\'s your day off. So sit back and enjoy the hellish view."
Suddenly, he felt a presence of someone who was running towards him. So he looked and saw the black book jumping from building to building.
"Looks like we have to share our meal with a guest today."
