Chapter 106: Disappearance

Chapter 106: Disappearance

Ivon turned his concentration back to the game because a new game had been released when he wasn't on earth. He was having fun after a long time.

The guardians are a different type of being that stay alive forever without ageing. They aren't vampires, immortals or any type of being that has to rely on object-like food to stay alive.

They can't die unless a powerful being successfully broke their fragment with a powerful attack from another fragment.

When a guardian dies without their fragment's death, they are reborn as humans or other intelligent beings but without their memories. They become unrecognizable and their fragment stays outside forever since they've lost all their memories and nobody can detect a reincarnated soul to put them back together.

On the other hand, if a guardian dies from soul purification with their fragments on, their soul and fragments get destroyed and become unable to walk the path of reincarnation. They ceased to exist in the universe.

But the situation of Elerous was different.

When Elerous was killed, his fragment was already removed and his brother. By that time, a portal stone was sealed to his heart that took him to a body that Elesis prepared previously. When the heaven guardian killed him with the soul purification, it did work but the seal stopped his soul from being destroyed. Instead, it faked his death and sent his soul to earth.

After that, his brother took him to another world where he successfully wrote a future without any power. It triggered his soul and he was reborn as Viktor.

That book also triggered the taboo creation of some beings that didn't exist in reality. It was the taboo birth of Adonis and the wandering warrior from the unfinished book 'Golden flower'. They don't have any past life nor they will have any in the future. If they die, they will vanish forever.

...

After that, Elerous's plan started. So the twin brothers did their jobs to protect each other's backs to secure the future by gambling with their life.

For all these years, it was Elesis's job to protect his brother's soul. Now it was Elerous's turn to save Elesis. They both planned it so carefully step by step to save their life without any problem.

If I were a real human, I would already act as my age. A decent adult passing his mid-40s peacefully. But my soul is a million years old and since I'm a guardian, I don't age. And for that very reason, I will always act like a 20 year old young boy since my mentality doesn't age.

There's always a connection between body and mentality. If the body ages, it goes through a lot of changes that affect the mentality. This is how the mind understands that you're getting old so it needs to act like one.

The mentality of a person is also affected by his surroundings. People learn by imitating others. So if a man sees an elder man acting like his age, he will do that too when he reaches that age to walk along with the society. But a guardian doesn't need to do any of them.

Because a guardian doesn't need to sleep, eat, breed, or do anything as humans do. They don't have any emotional or sexual attraction towards the opposite gender because they don't have a fixed gender. They can turn into a man or a woman if they want to.

Moreover, a guardian is a being that controls nature so they don't have to act like an intelligent being to live with them. So, the term 'age and maturity' doesn't really apply to them.

If they want, they can just destroy a whole world and rebuild it from dust.

It's already been 2 hours since I started playing games and my body isn't even getting tired. Since I'm circulating my fragment powers all over my body, I won't get tired even if I play year after year by maintaining this position.

And I'm really surprised that Rae is already browsing all over the internet to learn about this world. Hah.. He's also a guardian after all.

No matter what we will do, we will remain the same and time will pass on its own. The world will get destroyed, the ice age will pass, new species will be born, humanity will rise and fall again. But we will stay the same, playing around, messing around.

"Hey Vik, what is this ×××× thing?"

"-_-... don't click on that website. We're in public."

"Then give me your phone. I'm really curious."

"Shut up, you perverted bastard. It's a human ××××× website."

"Oh!! Naughty naughty!!! How do you know about it so well, haa?"

...

"-_-. Let me play my game in peace. Just don't click it. Or else the owner will kick us out for violating the rules."

...

"Humans can be really shameless."

Ivon looked at Rae's computer screen and saw he already clicked it and went inside it.

His jaw dropped.

"For fu*ks sake!! Turn that off!!! Oh my soul!! The owner will definitely kick us out and ban us from entering!"

"Hahaha!! It's really funny!!"

"Ugh!!!"

"Okay, okay! Don't worry. I will just delete the history. And the CCTV's are off so they won't notice."

After that, both of them played games till 8 am and suddenly, two cars stopped in front of the pc cafe. A group of men came inside the cafe in formals with a man wearing white in the middle.

It was the chairman of the K.A. group.

The pc cafe was empty but the guards were guarding the chairman as if there were enemies everywhere.

But Ivon didn't care about that and kept playing his game.

They really can't follow straight indications.

Then, the chairman came closer to his chair and said, "Neul, let's go home now. Your mother is waiting."

Ivon kept tapping on his keyboard as he was telling Rae to shield him from the boss monster's attack. They were playing an online game for 3 hours straight.

"Neul, I'm going to call you one last time. Come back home, or I'm cutting your allowance and you won't have any authority to set a step back home."

Neul sighed and said, "I remember telling mother the same thing. I don't belong in that family anymore. And don't worry about your reputation since I'm not going to do anything that relates to you. So don't look for me anymore."

The chairman became angry and started to shout. "I don't know what kind of act you're pulling this time but I won't be increasing your allowance anymore!! And we have a lot to discuss so let's go now before I give up on you. And I'm so dead serious about this."

Ivon stopped tapping on the keyboard and said, "You guys don't really take anything seriously. Do you?"

He stood up and said, "Rae, let's go."

They both stood up but the guards blocked their path as they were trying to leave the pc cafe. They became surrounded by a big group of men.

"Neul, why are you acting like this?" The chairman asked.

"Because your real son is already dead."

Rae pushed the men like moving pillows and both of them got out of the cafe and vanished. The chairman was angry. He also left his phone and MasterCard on the table which was jacked with tons of money that a bodyguard noticed.

"Heheh!! Let's see what you can do since I'm going to block your account right now."

And then the bodyguard came and said, "Sir, the young master left these on the table on his way. It might be difficult to track him down now."

His heart skipped a beat all of a sudden.

"What? He left those? Hahah! He will come back in just five minutes so don't worry. Ahahah..haha.."

But half an hour passed and he didn't come back. The chairman thought that he would come back and beg for the money but his predictions were wrong. Neul actually left by leaving behind everything.

His heart skipped a beat again.

...

The sun was rising in the east as they flew across the city to visit a different place where Neul can rest for some minutes. He was mentally tired after playing the game for a long time. But Rae's expression was different from Neul's behaviour.

He asked, "Why did you leave that rich family? It was easy for you to hide, don't you think?"

"No, the elders are so troublesome and I don't wish to stay with anyone but a close companion of mine."

"Am I that important to you?? Hmmm??"

"Shut up. Do you think I was alone after you left? There's a butler of mine who can take care of me."

"Eh? A butler? Who is it?"

"You'll see soon."

I should keep his secret for now. Because I can feel something will happen after a few days. In the meantime, I will play around.

"Hey, wanna visit a museum?"

"Sure."

"Okay."

...

Back in the Kang family main house.

A woman with a white dress was calling from one police station to another to search for his son but they were only on their way to search for him. Her patience was already on its edge. At that moment, the chairman came back home with all of his bodyguards.

"Did you check the CCTV footage, assistant?"

"Yes, I did sir. The footage says that they never left the neighbour but it's like they vanished."

"Tell the bodyguards to check it twice. I want him back at home in just one hour."

"...Yes sir."

Tsk!! He's really getting on my nerves. What does he even want from me!!

He threw his books off his office table in anger and at that moment, Jinin came in with a happy face.

"Father, I already finished the task you gave me for the company! Oh... father.. What's wrong?"

Even though the chairman acted like a fool in front of the family, he knew everything about what happened. He knew his elder children didn't like the youngest and the eldest one held the most grudge against him, but he decided to let it go since he believed that they wouldn't do anything bad.

He believed that they will get along once they grow up. But when the youngest child started to act strange right after the eldest son complained that he was too high on drugs and he threatened him with a knife which he found really hard to believe, his instinct was telling him something went terribly wrong.

When Neul left his phone and wallet with all his mastercards in it, he became impatient. He understood that something horrible had happened to his youngest.

The youngest one was a tung, but he always turned into a dog that tucked his tail in front of his father.

After the chairman received his first call from his son at midnight and he said that he was dead in front of him the very next morning, he became worried for his son for the first time.

What is going on inside his head that made him say that? His eyes weren't even twitching and he had this weird dead expression as if he just died and gave up on everything.

"Umm. Father, is something wrong?" nOvE-lb.In

The chairman looked at him and saw the fresh morning expression on his face. He had no hint of worries on his face.

"Just get out and call my assistant. I'm not in a mood."

"Yes, father."

Right then, his assistant came in with a report after Jinin left. So he asked,

"What exactly did he do after he left home?"

"I asked a classmate of his. He said that he went to college and slept through his first class and went outside. The student named Ijin said he had a pretty bad nosebleed and he looked like he was sick. After drinking three cans of coke, he crossed the boundary and after that, his location was not traceable until he called you at midnight. At that time, the first master's bodyguards followed him till 2 am. After that, he wasn't seen anywhere and then he was again spotted in the pc cafe."

"What about the boy who looked like a foreigner?"

"I'm afraid his identity is still a mystery. The young man had never appeared before the young master before today. He just came out of nowhere."

Just what is going on with Neul!! And why on earth Jinin would send his bodyguards to follow him at night?
