Chapter 249: Devil’s fork
The awakening process took more than an hour for Yin, but only a few seconds passed in reality, in which Victor was watching nervously with crossed fingers. If this succeeded, this little girl would be a treasure. A deadly treasure.
No matter what though, he had already decided to take this girl from Lily. She would be a good companion for Lara who was getting slowly corrupted by El. This stoic strong girl would be a perfect counterbalance... He could also tell that she would turn into a great beauty in a few years, then...
Damn it, control your desires little Victor... Control your desires... Only for the next three weeks until the bloodline can be awakened....
This youthful body of his was really annoying. Damn this Alex, did she have to prick her swollen butt in his direction like that!
He took a deep breath calming himself as he watched the girls slowly open their pretty eyes then let go of Yin who took a few more seconds to open her eyes and looked around at the strange world around her.

“Your soul also has a fork imprint on its shoulder... as if it were burnt... No, branded!” She said, finding the right word.
“A fork?” He quickly asked, closing his eyes and inspecting his soul.... He saw no forks. There was nothing there! Was she scamming him?
“Yes, it’s a round fork like the one they use in old movies... like a devil’s fork...” She said nervously, taking the pen and paper he presented her and drawing an ψ symbol on it.
“Ahh...ok... Try to look at Lily then now...” he said with a frown as he took the paper and looked at it. He had no idea what this meant... He didn’t like it at all but hid it well as he didn’t like to freak the girls out. Soul brands were some really bad things.
“I am not finished with you yet...” She said as if she began enjoying this, “Your soul also has a strange shining scribble in between your eyes...” She said, making him scratch in between his eyebrows.... This was way more than what he had expected to find... What was wrong with his world?
“It is like a strange circle.... No, it's a snake eating its own tail...” She said after squinting a little.
Victor gasped, he knew what this was! The Ouroboros symbol was printed on the cover of the book of time!
She couldn’t have possibly fabricated that, she was definitely telling the truth!
Did the book of time travel with him? It made sense, but he had no idea how to access it...
“Is that all?” He asked, nervously this time.
“Um...” she lied as she looked at him. She was hiding one thing though, his soul was so damn hot. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen... after Lily that is.
“Good, Lily next,” he said as if reading her mind.
“Ah... Mistress Lily...” Yin looked at Lily for permission which was swiftly granted.
“Well, your soul looks similar to you but with an extra... vertical eye in her forehead and big black wings on your back... you are also wearing a silver crown on your head... “ Yin described.
“Does she have anything strange?” Victor asked.
“A very faint crest shadow on her neck... nothing more,” she said. Victor knew that this was the family slave tattoo... Lily seemed to have realized that too as she touched her neck.
“Good next is this girl. Her name is Margret, she will be your big sister from now on.” Victor said, introducing Margret who smiled at Yin who nodded in response.
“.. Sister, Margret... Your soul is bigger than the other’s, much bigger... It has many strange marks all over it, most of them are faded, but the one on the forehead is very prominent...” She said, drawing a strange complex symbol on a piece of paper.
Victor nodded and took it away. This was the talisman control symbol he used back then.
Margret who also realized that sighed and wondered whether this would have any effect on her.
“Anything else?” Margret asked nervously.
“No.” She shook her head, not hiding anything for the first time.
“Then that leaves us with Alex the maid...” Victor said, making Alex, who was sitting to the side still exploring her new system, tense up.
“I see a pretty girl with wings of fire...” She said, making Alex shrink a little as she looked at Victor nervously. He didn’t even flinch... He was pondering about Alex’s hidden bloodline.
“She also has a strange rope around her neck...” She wanted to say that it was connected to Victor but she held her tongue when he winked at her... a smart girl.
“Anything strange?” Victor asked as Alex nervously listened.
“Her wings have strange wiggly lines like chains as if someone had drawn on them with black ink! ” she added, “And she has this.... I don’t know... a gloomy aura around her, like some foul smoke...That’s all.”
“Oh... Good. Our little Alex has become a little girl inside!” Victor chuckled, “Looks like my attempts to turn you into a girl are working.”
“No, they are not! I am a real girl!” Alex wanted to scream but didn’t dare to.
Victor looked at Yin with admiration as he watched her deactivate her skill and then rub her eyes. Using this skill must be very tiring.
“From now on you will no longer be an assassin, but will work for me,” he said, winking at Lily who nodded.
“Wh...What will you make me do...” Yin asked nervously.
“Nothing much. Until you grow up and become strong enough to fight demons, I will let you work as a bodyguard,” he asked.
“A bodyguard?” she asked, she was not that strong.
“As a player, you are much stronger than normal people... you will be protecting my little sister and attending school with her. Don’t you want to go to school?”
She nodded... “I also want to learn how to fight...” she said. This was a chance for her.
“Good, I will arrange things for you when we return to my mansion... It will be your new home, and we will be your new family,” he declared. “And Lara will have a new friend,” he thought.
