I flinched at those words. Fully expecting a dark landscape and my greatest horrors, I shivered as I forced my eyes open. ‘What would be waiting for me this time?’ I pondered as I clenched my teeth in preparation. I waited for the darkness to approach, but nothing seemed to change until the wails of
I awoke suddenly, the feeling of a strange warmth seeping into my body. As soon as I remembered that we were in enemy territory, I leapt out of bed and instinctively turned on my ‘Eyes of Providence’. But among the purple lines that showed where mana existed in everything, a white-hot glare, bright as the
Saki Himejima. The girl who thought she knew love. The thought of getting close to someone was ever present in her heart. That was because her home felt cold. Her parents were rarely around. And if they happened to be, their words were mostly disciplinary and distant at best. Like a teacher reprimanding a student

After spending so much time lying and lying to those around him, he hadn’t noticed at all. The ideal dream world that he had always imagined was just another one of those lies. He kept using rationale and logic to convince himself that his old life was what he always wanted. That there was no
‘Liar.’ That was all Olivia could think as she stared at her long-time companion. He had promised that they would take revenge together. Even though she knew that he fibbed quite often, the results at the end seemed to justify everything. Lamps was a man built upon lies. A masquerade duet where Olivia played the
Chasing after the pair, I dashed through the streets of Bryansk. Unlike Lamps, who could sail through the air and leapt over the buildings, I had to crisscross through the streets.
