Destroying My Own Novel

“Are you okay? You have been so quiet when the people from Juven’s world came to Helmga,” Mykel asked as he walked next to Lyneth in the endless hallway.

“Nothing, it’s just that I’m overwhelmed by the fact we are not the only ones,” Lyneth answered as she rested her head on Mykel’s shoulder and Mykel immediately wrapped his arm around her shoulder to keep her closer to him.

“Let’s rest for today because you have been walking around all the kingdoms back then,” Mykel said and Lyneth hummed in agreement.

Mykel looked back and never thought the main character of the story was so underwhelming in the presence of the other characters in the story. Mykel almost forgot about him until he realized that he brought a scroll in his blazer pocket.

“Asmond,” Mykel said as he looked at Asmond. “You have been acting so gloomy, that should help you get back on your feet,” he said as he threw [Strength Skill Scroll] to Asmond.

Asmond took it and he immediately wreathed in a smile then looked at Mykel. “Thank you, Mykel!”

“We are going to clear all the fifteenth floor in each tower, so I want you to get back up as soon as possible. You’re still the hero that people look up to, Asmond, don’t disappoint them,” Mykel replied with a smile on his face.

Although it sounded encouraging, it brought pressure under Asmond’s consciousness that would slowly consume him. Mykel experienced it first hand and he knew how bad it felt when someone brought it back up after he fell really hard.

They left the tower and were immediately welcomed by Zherthlsh and Vixelleth who stood near the gate.

The three of them flew back to District 1 and Lyneth was in deep sleep the moment she laid down on her bed. Mykel watched her snoring quietly and then he went to the living room where Zherthlsh and Vixelleth were enjoying a bottle of wine.

“How was the hunt?” Mykel asked as he removed his blazer and the two top buttons on his shirt.

“It wasn’t easy but I got a few of them already and it was really nice,” Vixelleth answered as she stared at Mykel with a glass of wine in her hand.

“Are you going to go back once you got all of them?” Mykel asked and lifted a chair and put it in front of the table and faced those two.

“It depends…” Vixelleth said as she looked at Zherthlsh who was leaning on the sofa with a bottle of wine in her hand. “If my sister stays, I will stay here as well,” she continued as she put the glass of wine on the table and gently rubbed Zherthlsh’s cheek.

Mykel watched those two start kissing each other and Vixelleth was already on top of Zherthlsh. He quietly watched as he poured himself a glass of wine and enjoyed the view from the front row seat.

Both Zherthlsh and Vixelleth were giggling and moaning at each other and Mykel was kind of a bit worried that Lyneth might hear them.

“Can you do it in another room?” Mykel said as he grabbed the glass of wine and the bottle. “If you need anything I will be in my room,” he said as he walked toward Lyneth’s room.

“Mykel Alester,” Vixelleth called as she stared at Mykel who was about to enter Lyneth’s room. “You still remember your promise, right?” she continued as she cracked her fingers and her claws slowly grew longer and sharper.

“What do you think I’m doing here? I’m working on it,” Mykel answered as he stared at Vixelleth from the corner of his eyes.

The morning came, and Mykel went to the living room to see the mess both Zherthlsh and Vixelleth made. He checked the guest room and saw both of them were asleep with nothing covering their bodies. The whole room was far worse than the living room and not to mention the mysterious stains on the sheet and blanket.

“Mykel?! What happened here?!” Lyneth asked as she walked toward Mykel who stood in front of the guest room’s door.

“You can see it yourself, the culprit,” Mykel said as he looked at Lyneth and pointed his finger at those two.

“Oh my goodness…” Lyneth said and immediately looked away because she was surprised when she saw both of them naked on the bed.

Lyneth looked at how smooth and shiny their skin was and it made her a bit jealous. “Are they a lover?” she asked as she looked at Mykel.

“Something like that, yeah,” Mykel answered as he nodded his head.

“So you haven’t slept with them?” Lyneth asked with curiosity and her eyebrow raised.

“No, why? You want me to sleep with them?” Mykel replied with his eyebrows furrowed.

“I mean they’re beautiful and I can tell that you’re attracted to their perfect body,” Lyneth said as she was hugging the wall and stared at them.

“What are you talking about? Just wake them up, I want to take a shower and then go to Azrael tower to clear the eleventh floor,” Mykel replied and left the room but then Lyneth grabbed Mykel’s hand while she bit the bottom of her lips. “Don’t blame me if you can’t focus on your work today,” he said and lifted Lyneth up as he brought her to the bathroom with him.

“Good morning, boss!” Gunnar said as he board the plane and looked at Mykel who was laying on the chair with a cigarette in his mouth. “Wow, you look tired, boss,” he continued as he lowered his head so his head wouldn’t hit the ceiling.

Mykel just smiled and kept smoking his cigarette.

“Mykel, we heard about what happened yesterday, did you really meet people from another world?” Agnez asked as she sat on the seat on the other side of Mykel’s seat.

“Yes, we did and there were so many of them,” Mykel answered and everyone immediately sat down and turned their seat to look at him.

“What?! Really?! What are they look like? Did you take a photo of them?” Rozan asked while he chewed an energy bar.

Mykel grabbed his phone and showed the photos that Lyneth took. “Those people came from Juven world, a world that’s more advanced than us,” he answered as he looked at them who were amazed by the armor and weapons Barika and his team had.

“Can you tell us the detail, Mykel, we want to know,” Jeanne asked nervously since she didn’t want to bother him but she was curious about it at the same time.

Mykel sat straight as he pulled his seat back up then he explained everything to them.

“That’s really interesting, isn’t it? To think there are other worlds that similar to us who struggle to clear the towers. Still, knowing that they only have four towers even though they’re more advanced than our world is a bit unfair don’t you think?” Rozan said as he looked at the others.

The reason for that was simply because the main character was in this world but Mykel couldn’t tell them that so he just laid down on his seat again.

“I want to see that Barika guy and I want to ask him for a duel because the boss said he looked like me,” Gunnar said as he rested his arms on the armrest.

“After listening to Mykel’s story, he does sound like you,” Agnez replied while she adjust her seat. “Anyway, the more interesting thing is what’s in front of us. I wonder what kind of world in the eleventh floor of Azrael tower,” she continued.

They landed on District 8 and went straight to Azrael tower after getting permission from Kastor. They didn’t join them because of Mykel’s words so they wanted to at least kill a demon lord on their own then they will join afterward.

Everyone brought a suitcase full of food supplies for themselves because they didn’t want to starve themselves in the other world. While they were clearing the first ten floors, Mykel and Edith were the ones who guarded the suitcases.

It only took them half an hour to clear the first ten floors and Mykel was so proud of them because their skills level were almost maxed out. Their level rose to 34 which really surprised him because it wasn’t easy and in the original story, their level didn’t even reach 30 in the same timeline.

Mykel stood in front of the portal with the others watching from behind. “You guys already have Body Enhancement skill, right?” he asked.

“Yes, we got a notification about combining basic skills when we reach level 30,” Rozan answered.

“Good, then try to raise that skill to level 5 if you can before we reach the fifteenth floor,” Mykel said. “Everyone ready to leave?” he asked.

“We are ready whenever, boss,” Gunnar answered as he nodded his head.

“Alright, let’s go,” Mykel said as he entered the portal.
