Chapter 253: Little Adventure. (1)
Mykel and everyone stayed and watched Little Mykel grow until he became a teenager. They were in disbelief that Little Mykel lived his life as Mykel did in the past. What was more interesting was that he became so fond of story and writing, and Lillith managed to take a peek at the story she made.
Everything was as Mykel expected, even more than he thought because, for the past decade, they didn't interfere in Little Mykel's life. Everything went like water in the river, and that included the fact that he started to write the Towers of Demon story.
"Now that I think about it," Elena paused as she enjoyed her coffee and observed the apartment.
"What? Why did you stop in mid-sentence?" Mykel asked as he looked at Elena while holding a newspaper.
"Nothing, I want to find the answer myself," Elena shook her head and emptied her cup of coffee. "Anyway. Since there's nothing interesting here, can I go somewhere?" Elena asked.
"No, we are going to make a move tonight," Mykel answered as he flipped the newspaper. "I'm not sure if it's going to work or not, but we should give it a try," Mykel said.
Elena raised her eyebrows and then nodded with understanding.
The night came and everyone was gathered across the street from the apartment. They were waiting for Nagy to come back from the mission that Mykel gave her to grab the book from Little Mykel's bedroom.
When Nagy came out with it, Mykel read the progress and made sure the ideas of the story were on the right path. They wondered why they all had to be there for something trivial like that, but then Mykel gave the book to Amaryllis.
"Can you open the novel world from just this much?" Mykel asked.
"Yes, it's not a problem. Do you want me to open the novel world now?" Amaryllis nodded her head as she looked at Mykel with the book in her hands.
"Yes," Mykel answered.
Amaryllis created a reality from the book itself, and she told everyone to touch it to enter the novel world. Everyone touched the book and got sucked into the book, but Loki, Nal, Hera, and Little Sasha didn't go with them since they wanted to watch Little Mykel sleep and made sure he didn't wake up to find his book.
They entered the novel world and there was barely anything inside, and the only city that existed was District 1 and District 14. The city itself was still a blank white place with only a few roads and buildings, including the Guild Association building.
"So why are we here for?" Aurea asked with her hands behind her head and looked at Mykel.
"I just want to make sure of something, and now that we are connected to this world, I want to try something," Mykel said as he flew up high into the white sky with no clouds, air, or even space.
Everyone followed Mykel to District 14, and when they landed, that was when everyone started to have a massive headache. Mykel looked at them and he was right about it that they were affected by the world itself. The only ones who weren't affected by it were Elena and Amaryllis.
"This might be the effect of that," Amaryllis said as she stood behind Mykel.
Mykel hummed in agreement and what Amaryllis meant was Mykel's order to her. The order for everyone to forget about Earth and Asmond after he conquered the world.
"If this happens to them, there's a high chance their existence will be taken by this world and become the character of the story again," Amaryllis pointed out.
"But why it's happening now and not before? They were fine even though they came to this world and saw Asmond with their own two eyes?" Elena asked with her eyebrows furrowed.
"Because we are basically living in my past. They're my creation, and so they're going to get affected by this," Mykel answered. "But that's fine. I have expected this and thought about it," Mykel said as he walked toward Jeanne and the others.
Elena and Amaryllis watched Mykel put his hand on everyone's shoulders and transfer his life energy to them. They started to get better and they were confused as to what had happened to them until Amaryllis gave back the memories that Mykel sealed.
Mykel explained them like what he explained to Elena, and he had just made them into real beings and not a character of the novel. He shared his life energy and gave a tiny bit of The Lord's power to them, making them into independent beings.
"Shit, now that I remember about Asmond, it gives a bad taste in my mouth," Sven said.
Jeanne was frozen still and couldn't believe she had forgotten about Asmond, and the fact her mind became blank even though she had encountered him many times in the past few tries.
"Do you want to see him?" Mykel asked as he looked at Jeanne.
"No. I would rather not," Jeanne answered and she had the same thought as Sven and the others. "I just... I'm just confused," Jeanne added.
"It was Mykel's request for you all to forget about Earth and Asmond. He didn't want you guys to be bothered by his personal grudge anymore," Amaryllis explained with her hands behind her back.
Although Jeanne didn't want to see Asmond, everyone was curious about what he was doing since the world was still in the middle of being built. They saw Asmond standing still like a mannequin and how his appearance was different from the real one since Mykel was still thinking about it back then.
"Alright, that's enough. We should go back now," Mykel said as he flicked the cigarette.
Everyone nodded and went back, and Nagy put the book back in the drawer where Little Mykel had put it.
Ten years had passed and everything was going smoothly with zero interference from Mykel. They watched Little Mykel from a small kid and became twenty-three years old when he first met Sasha.

"Five more years," Loki said as she played with her phone after she took photos of Little Mykel like a stalker. "That's when the real challenge begins," Loki looked at Mykel and compared him with grown-up Little Mykel.
"Next three months, he will start publishing the novel, it's time for me to make a move as well," Mykel said as he enjoyed his vodka.
"Make a move?" Rozan raised his eyebrows as he enjoyed his cereal.
"You'll understand when the time comes," Mykel answered.
A month had passed, and everyone was enjoying the lovey-dovey moments of Mykel and Sasha. They couldn't believe how innocent Mykel was back then, and seeing it with their own two eyes made it a lot more fun. Aurea and her sisters watched Little Mykel lose his virginity from the front row like a bunch of perverts.
They told everyone about it and how funny it was, and Mykel was unbothered by it since they already knew his past like an open book.
"It's time to work," Mykel said as he stood up. "We are going to the novel world," Mykel continued.
Everyone entered the novel world and they didn't need the book anymore because Amaryllis had created access to enter it from the first visit. They all looked at the identical world as how they remembered, but they were there not for recreation and Mykel brought them all to Gehenna.
"Are you sure we are safe here? Since the world is alive, aren't the system will notice us?" Luciel asked.
"You don't have to worry since I'm good at dealing with this. I have prepared that we're nonexistent in this world as well," Amaryllis answered as she winked at Luciel.
"Where are we going?" Beldathiel asked.
"To meet you," Mykel answered as he looked at her from over his shoulder. "Or should I say, the small version of you," Mykel added with a smile.
Everyone looked confused but they kept following Mykel all the way to Belphegor Palace. They all stood there for a moment and then they all entered the palace with questions in their heads.
Mykel was at the front and went straight to where Beldathiel's room was.
"Why do you want to see me?" Beldathiel asked.
"Because I realize how important you are in my past. I have to admit that without you, I won't be able to achieve my goal," Mykel answered. "And I realize about one thing," Mykel said.
Mykel reached out his hand to Amaryllis without saying a word and just stared at her. She finally found the answer to the mystery that she had been trying to find.
"It's time to give you back the toy," Mykel looked at Beldathiel as Amaryllis pulled out the will and wrapped it, and made it look like a dice. "Now we know where this thing came from, why this thing ended up in here, and why it possesses The Lord's forgotten will," Mykel smiled.
