The man clearly looked reluctant, but given that Cristian had his life in his hands, the man still said, “Yes. You’ll let me go, right?”“Of course. As long as you don’t betray me, I’ll let you go,” Cristian said.Cristian released the man who got up on trembling legs and walked away. To be on the safe side, Cristian had his gun aimed at the man’s back, ready to shoot if he so much as made a peep. Fortunately, the man showed no signs of letting anyone know what happened and even stopped the people heading towards Cristian.“Hey, are we almost done here?” the man asked.“Yeah. Everything’s almost been unloaded,” one person said.“It’s kind of quiet. Do you think the serial killer left?” another person asked.Hearing himself being mentioned, Cristian tensed. His hand tightened around the gun until his knuckles turned white.“Isn’t that good? We won’t have to worry about being killed by him,” a different person said.“I’m just saying it’s weird. Wouldn’t it be kind of obvious if he was f

Without giving her a chance to protest, he dragged her towards the backyard. She kicked and clawed at him, but her hits were nothing to him. They passed by Fenrir, who paid them no mind as it enjoyed its meal. Once they were in the backyard, he tossed her onto the spot he had buried her father.“Say hello to your father. He missed you,” Cristian said mockingly.Katie scrambled to her feet, trying to wipe the dirt off her clothes. Cristian crossed his arms, and his body adopted a relaxed posture as he watched this absurd performance.“How rude. That’s your father’s grave dirt, and you’re acting like it’s filthy. Shouldn’t you be apologizing to your father on your hands and knees for being a useless daughter?” he said as she glared at him.“You’re a liar. There’s no way my father is buried here,” she insisted, refusing to look at the spot.“You should have noticed tha

Cristian didn’t need to listen to the rest of the news to know he was in deep trouble. Of course he expected this to happen eventually, but he thought the people at the warehouse would have done their best to stall. It seemed like they had called the police not long after he left if what happened could show up on the news so soon.At that moment, Fenrir chose to join him and leisurely walked up to him. The wolf sat down at his feet before glancing at the TV and studied what was being displayed.[What does this mean for the both of us?]He groaned, letting his back fall back against the cushions as he said, “We might have to leave sooner than expected.”Fenrir’s wagging tail abruptly stopped. The wolf stared up at Cristian with wide eyes before shooting to its feet.[What?]“The police are probably tracking me down right now. We should leave now before they show up and arrest me,” Cristian said.Despite saying this, he didn’t move from his position and stared up at the ceiling. The new

Suddenly, something crashed hard into the tree he was hiding behind, causing it to snap in two. Bits of wood sprayed everywhere, and Cristian could feel some of them strike him hard in the back. He rolled across the ground, keeping Fenrir protected in his arms even though the wolf didn’t need his protection. After rolling some distance away, he stopped and pushed himself to his feet. A rhino stared back at him.Cristian couldn’t believe his luck. The police had really pulled out the heavy hitters to deal with him despite his reputation of having the weakest beast. Perhaps it was because of that and the fact he could kill so many that made them act like this.He didn’t get to think of it for long before the rhino’s horn glowed, and a beam of light shot towards him. It nicked his side, tearing his clothes and the skin beneath it. With a curse, he shot at the rhino. Unfortunately, the rhino’s thick skin made the bullets ineffective and only angered the beast into shooting another beam of

Cristian watched as the clock in the dimensional space ticked closer to midnight with each second. His fingers tapped against the stone surface in time with the clock’s second hand until the clock displayed it was midnight. In an instant, he stopped his actions as Fenrir perked up.[It’s starting.]In the last life, he had woken up to loud sounds and dared to peek out from the castle walls. The country had been hit by a sudden snowstorm, covering the land in snow. Monstrous creatures had appeared out of nowhere and wandered the streets, killing every living thing they encountered. It had been such a frightening sight that he had run back into the castle to hide. This time he had stayed awake to see the disaster unfold in real time.He stared up at the dark sky as a torrent of snow and ice fell. Among the ice and snow, he noticed dark shapes and narrowed his eyes. They were the monsters he had seen in his last life, raining down onto the city. Screams filled the air as people panicked.
