“Can I come in?” Jeremiah asked and Brenda, who was still shocked that he was there in front of her, remained speechless for a moment. “Hello? Anybody home?” Jeremiah snapped his finger in front of Brenda’s face and pulled her back to her senses. “I’m sorry, young master Jeremiah. What did you say—?” Brenda asked but was cut off.“Of course, young master. You can come in” said Kristin, who found a way to stand up on one foot, holding onto the bed frame so she doesn’t put weight on her sprained ankle. “You own the entire estate, this room including, so you’re the last person who should be asking for permission to do anything or enter anywhere,” Kristin said, a flirting tone in her voice. Brenda, who knew what her best friend was doing, quickly turned to Kristin and smiled in approval. “No, this is your room so no matter who I am, I still have to ask for permission to come in,” Jeremiah said and Kristin bowed her head in concession. “Anyway, thanks for inviting me in, and don’t wo

“Thank you very much, Young Master! I’ll make sure to share your number with Kristin later” Brenda said with a huge smile on her face then she waited for Kristin to say something too, but the girl was quiet.Brenda quickly looked at Kristin and used her eyes and expression to tell her to say something to Jeremiah.“That’s right, thank you young master Jeremiah! It’s great that I’ll be able to reach out to you whenever I want— I mean, need your help” Kristin said, smiling awkwardly.“You’re welcome,” Jeremiah smirked then took a deep breath, sighed, and placed his hands on his thighs.“Anyway, since I’ve confirmed that you’re doing okay and my reason for visiting has been completed, I’ll be taking my leave and going back to my room,” Jeremiah said as he stood up. Brenda quickly stood up too, saying “Let me open the door for—“Jeremiah stopped her with a hand gesture.“It’s fine. I can walk myself out so please stay with your friend” he said.“O-okay, young master” Brenda stuttered and

“Let me just interject before you finish that sentence. I know what Elizabeth told you to do and my answer is no” Jeremiah said and Christabel’s eyes widened.“W-what are you talking about, young mas—?” Christabel stuttered while also smiling nervously, but Jeremiah cut her off, again.“Trust me, you don’t want to play that game with me.” Jeremiah said coldly and Christabel gulped “I know the secondary objective Elizabeth gave you when she told you to act as my personal help and I know this because she did the same to Lynette”“Oh,” Christabel said, her eyes blinking multiple times. She had thought she would be able to get away with it but was surprised that Jeremiah put a stop to it before it even began. “I’m fine with you taking over from Lynette and helping me like she used to, but delete every thought concerning the second part of your assignment from your mind, got it?” Jeremiah instructed.Christabel nodded.“As you wish, young master. My job is only to help you and nothing el

“So that’s what the old man looks like” Jeremiah commented, staring intently at David’s grandfather and knowing that both of them wouldn’t have a good relationship.As someone who had taken away the kingship from his grandson—a goal that had been David’s grandfather’s lifelong mission—the elderly man was unlikely to be fond of Jeremiah.Just then, Jeremiah furrowed his eyebrows and groaned curiously when he saw someone else’s leg stretch out of the opened car door. “Who’s that?” Jeremiah asked himself.All he could tell was that the person was female and young, but with those two information and the fact that she sat with David’s grandfather in the back seat, he could make an educated guess as to who it could have been.“Aren’t you going to help me out?” Jeremiah heard the mysterious lady say to David whose response was a frown.“What do I look like? Get down yourself or ask the chauffeur to help you” David retorted, annoyed as he stared at the lady in the car. “Grandpa, David is be

Inside his room, Jeremiah locked eyes with Jessica, who was surprised to see him, then he saw her try to get David and their grandfather to look up at him. Satisfied with what he had seen, Jeremiah closed the window, dropped the drapes, and stepped back, which made David and their grandfather to only see a closed window when they looked up.From his room, Jeremiah heard David patronizing and ridiculing Jessica for acting like she saw something when she didn’t and he chuckled at how funny the two sibling’s dynamic was.For someone like David, who acted like he was above everyone just because he was royalty, to not be respected by his younger sister was funny to witness. Jeremiah did a little stretching to free up his joints then he became ready to tackle his day.He was about to go to the bathroom to freshen up when he heard a knock on the door and he grimaced, wondering who it could be. “Who is that?” Jeremiah asked. “Young Master, it’s Christabel” she replied and Jeremiah groaned

Inside Reginald’s study.While David and his grandfather sat opposite Reginald and were engaged in a lighthearted discussion, Jessica, appearing bored and uninterested in what was being said, sat on the desk with her legs crossed and idly played with the items on it.She flipped through the edge of documents on the desk with her thumb, moved the pen around with her finger, and hummed the melody of whatever song popped into her head.Annoyed by her actions, David—who also didn’t want to be there but felt obligated to behave—kicked the desk discreetly, ensuring only Jessica would notice.Jessica paused what she was doing and glanced at David, who subtly signaled her to behave through his expression. She then rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue in response.She folded all her fingers except the middle one, then glanced down at it, prompting David to do the same. That’s when he realized she was telling him to go fuck himself.Jessica chuckled then continued moving the pen with the midd

With his eyes closed, Jeremiah heard Obadiah recite the spell to test his magic but felt nothing for a whole minute which made him wonder if it was even going to work.The shaman did say that he had only used the spell on humans so could it be that it was ineffective when used on him, the reincarnation of Lord Crimson? Jeremiah was starting to second guess the whole thing when, to his surprise, he started feeling something in his core which was strange because until that moment he didn’t even know he had a core. But, because of what Obadiah was doing, it became too noticeable to ignore. It was a warm feeling that made his fingers tingle and skin sensitive to every stimulus, which said a lot because his senses were already heightened to an insane level before they started the spell.Next thing Jeremiah knew, he stopped hearing what Obadiah was saying as it went from coherent recitation to mumbling to a muffled mess and lastly to silence. Everything happened in the span of a second a

“Flames of consumption? What’s that?” Jeremiah asked. “Truthfully, I don’t know that much about it as the only information I have is what I was able to eavesdrop from Dark Emblem’s communication channel before they made doing that near impossible to achieve,” Obadiah said and Jeremiah groaned.“Then according to the little you do know, what is it?” Jeremiah asked. “Well, it is what the name implies. Instead of flames that burn whatever they engulf, the flames of consumption absorb the energy of whatever they touch. The way oxygen is what determines the intensity and duration of a fire, the energy of whatever is being consumed is what fuels the flames of consumption and since the energy of a plant is what makes look healthy, it becoming dried and withering is the result of losing it” Obadiah said.Jeremiah grimaced and groaned in frustration as yet another question arose after hearing the explanation.“But how did this happen? I thought you were just testing my magic to figure out ho

One week later, Jeremiah leaned back against a cherry-red and gold Bugatti Veyron, the glint of the city lights dancing along its sleek curves. His tailored obsidian suit clung perfectly to his frame, his silver tie fluttering slightly in the evening breeze. The engine purred beneath the hood like a beast waiting to be unleashed. He glanced at the time on his wristwatch, a sly smile creeping across his face as the apartment door opened.He looked up.And there she was.Victoria emerged in a stunning midnight-blue dress that shimmered with every step. Her curls bounced as she descended the stairs, and Jeremiah couldn’t help but admire the moment like it was a scene from a movie.“Hurry up, we’re going to be late,” he said, a playful edge in his voice.“I’m coming!” she replied, hurrying her pace before she reached him—and planted a kiss on his lips that made the world pause for a second.“When’s he popping the question again?” she asked, at the same time telling him that maybe he was r

“The Leader?” Jeremiah asked with a grimace, the name tasting like ash on his tongue.“That’s right,” the being declared, his voice echoing like a god’s judgment through the twisted air. “I *am* the Leader—and this is my dimension. Here, I rule as supreme.”Jeremiah’s eyes narrowed. “And that name you called me—Bazar’q Omàrin? Why?”The Leader tilted his head slightly, a cruel smirk tugging at his lips. “Because that is your name. Not this watered-down nonsense—Crimson, Jeremiah—names handed to you by humans who never knew your truth. You were Bazar’q Omàrin, once the high sovereign of the mighty Oxyl Dimension... until it all turned to ash.”Jeremiah’s fists clenched as a dull pain throbbed in his temples. “And how do you know that? How do you know *me*?”The Leader's grin stretched, eyes flickering with malevolence. “Because, you banished me to hell!”With that roar of hatred, he surged forward in a blur, his fist crashing into Jeremiah’s ribs with the force of a meteor. The impact

‘Where is he? The one who started all of this?’ Jeremiah’s thoughts were a storm as he tore through the sky in a vicious, high-speed duel against the nine-winged skeletal wyvern. His golden eyes flicked through the blood-red horizon, desperate to catch even a glimpse of Grey Lucian. Since the chaos began, Grey had vanished—eerily absent. The longer Jeremiah failed to find him, the more unease spread like rot in his gut.But the demonic wyvern wasn’t giving him the luxury of distraction.Every flap of the beast’s bony, mana-wrought wings whipped up cyclones of cursed wind. Each strike came fast, lethal, and relentless. Dodging them required all of Jeremiah’s focus—there was no room for error, no space to think about Grey, or even the cultists scattered across the battlefield, who were clearly summoning something catastrophic. The thick, malevolent mana surging from their positions felt like an omen of ruin.For just one heartbeat, Jeremiah’s mind slipped—and it was one too many.The w
CHAPTER 323
The battlefield plunged into eerie silence. Even the screaming winds beneath the dome seemed to hold their breath.Jeremiah stood at the center of it all, his dragonoid form casting a monumental silhouette against the warped sky. His scales shimmered with hues of black, red, and gold, glowing like molten metal in the dome’s unnatural twilight. Wings unfurled behind him like the banners of a god of war, stretching high and wide, stirring the air with every twitch.Mages, scattered across the estate in strategic lines, froze. The resurrection magic that had reanimated their fallen held no expression, no breath—just cold bodies awaiting orders. All of them stared at him, at the beast who had tanked a god-killing spell and still stood.Jeremiah’s molten eyes locked onto the mages who had conjured the lightning-fire hybrid spell. There was no mercy in his gaze. Only retribution.He leapt forward.The impact of his takeoff split the ground behind him, sending fragments of earth skyward and
CHAPTER 331
The sky darkened unnaturally, casting an eerie twilight over the estate. Jeremiah looked up as the last arc of shadow joined with the rest, sealing them inside a massive black dome. It shimmered with power, humming low like a monstrous heartbeat. The siege had begun.He turned to Lynette. “It’s begun.”“Yes,” she said quietly, eyes locked on the sky. “It has.”Jeremiah glanced down at the box in his hand. Obadiah’s head, expression frozen in death, stared back at him. The man had been a teacher, a guide, a rock of wisdom. And now he was gone. Murdered.“I’m sorry this happened to you, teacher,” Jeremiah murmured, his voice a low promise. “But on your behalf, I’ll make those fuckers pay.”With grim reverence, he set the box down. Then he and Lynette walked toward the convoy, where confusion had begun to blossom into panic.A chorus of murmurs rose as everyone saw the sky had changed. The dome wasn’t just a covering — it was alive. Pulsing. Feeding something.“What the hell is this?” th

[“How? The gate is—“] the driver of the first car asked but went silent to his surprise the gate suddenly opened. [“But how?!”] the driver asked in a panic.Jeremiah had used wordless magic to unlock and open the gate.[“Don’t worry about it and just keep driving”] Steven interjected, stopping the driver beside him from thinking too much into what happened.Because this security detail was provided by the city of Bakers View and not of the Garrick Royal estate, they didn’t know about Jeremiah’s real identity as Lord Crimson or that magic existed. That was why Steven stopped the driver beside him from asking questions and just moved things along. [“Okay, Captain”] the driver reluctantly said and then hit the gas, leading the cars into the estate. All the while, the third car which hadn’t been connected through the channel didn’t know what was really going on. Second after second, the cars got closer to Jeremiah’s house and when they got there everything looked perfectly fine, surpr
CHAPTER 329
Jeremiah weighed his options and came to a final decision on which path to take. “We should go back” he declared. “Go back? As in back to the house?” Reginald asked, an intrigued look on his face.“Yes, back to the house” Jeremiah replied matter-of-factly.“Why?” Reginald inquired.“Though I wish you weren’t here, I honestly feel better with you or should I say Lynette by my side rather than elsewhere where y’all can be attacked by who knows how many enemies, and she, for whatever reason, dies because remember, a single temporary death from hers means you’re gone, forever,” Jeremiah said and Reginald groaned as he reflected on every word.“Alright then. I guess we’re going back” Reginald replied. He then looked at the driver and said “Tell the front car that we’re going back to the apartment”“As you wish, Your Majesty” the driver replied, clearly not on board with the decision because he had picked up on signs of there being a problem and would prefer if they left the city— meanin

Obadiah chuckled.[“I think you underestimate me, young master. But, if you want to know then I found it because of the relic I gave you. You know the one that lets us communicate? Well, you’re able to track the other twin if you have your hand on one and know the right spell”]Jeremiah groaned.“You didn’t tell me it could do that,” he said.[“I apologize, young master. It must have skipped my mind”]“Is that so? Alright then. I’ll head back to the house with Dad and everyone else” Jeremiah said.[“That’ll be great, young master. I’ll be waiting for all four of you”] Jeremiah groaned. “Alright then. Bye,” he said and then ended the call. Looking at him, Reginald asked “So we’re going back to your house to speak with the shaman? I wonder what he wants to talk to us about”“Nothing. He doesn’t want to speak to us about anything” Jeremiah said as he stuffed his phone into his pocket while Reginald grimaced.“He doesn’t? How do you know that?” Reginald asked. With a frown, Jeremiah s

“I’m sure the young master and his majesty are discussing something important which is why we haven’t moved yet” Kingston reassured. “It’s not about the lack of movement that has me exasperated. I came to this city to spend time with Jeremiah and I haven’t even done that. If we travel back so quickly it would mean that this trip was a complete letdown.” She said. Kingston groaned.“So what do you want to do, Lady Lynette?” Kingston asked “Being the young master’s fiancé, you’re just as influential as he is to those who know the truth. So much so that the artificial intelligence back at the house obeyed your instruction when it wouldn’t have for anyone else besides the young master” Lynette groaned, reflecting on Kingston’s question that asked her what she wanted to do.“Since you’ve already linked yourself and Master Reginald together, you’ve basically protected him from all forms of harm for the next thirty-nine years, so you don’t have to follow us back home if you don’t want to.
