"Master"
The prisoner in the cell lifted his head. His dark eyebags were worse than the day before, his pale skin now dirtied. His silky white hair which represented one of the powerhouses in the empire now tarnished.
The prisoner's dead sapphire eyes clashed with the noble's ruby ones.
"Haha...... You're still a dog I see. Whether it's mine or the emperors. Once born as a dog, always a dog"
The prisoner's voice sounded horrible and raspy. His arms were tied to his back, and his legs were unable to move.
"Isn't that right, Asher Merikh Abraxas? The symbol of the empire"
The man coughed crimson blood as he laughed, while the nobleman just stared down at his former master.
"Master........... it didn't have to be this way"
Asher said as his hands by his sides turned into fists, his jaw clenched.
"Master, was it that hard to acknowledge my power? Were you envious that the power you searched long for was manipulated by me?"
You idiotic child, how foolish
The prisoner started to fall into uncontrollable laughter
"AHAHHAAHAHHA.... believe what you want you foolish bastard"
The atmosphere in the cell room changed with more tension
"You think that I would involve myself with you? An orphan that was struggling to live every day. It was me that saved you from that hell hole-"
Before the man could continue talking Asher cut him
"So why did you do that, Master"
The voice wasn't filled with anger or pity but it was soft and gentle
There was a long silence between the two.
"I don't know. Why did I even do that? If it knew what was to happen I would have left you to die"
Maybe its because I too was just as pitiful as you
The nobleman's fists grew tighter as his nails sunk into his skin
"oh, yea... today's the day of my secret execution am I right?"
A pure and gentle smile formed on the man's face.
"A villain like me? No person is sane enough to mourn for me. So let's hurry it up, I can't bear to live like this anymore"
The hand that held the nobleman's sword trembled.
His head was filled with unanswerable questions, questions he knew that only his master could answer.
Asher knew that his master was a cold and mysterious man, but why would a high-reputation man like him save a barely surviving orphan like him?
Why.........why........WHY.....WHY?!??!?!
Asher raised his sword as he took one last look at his master before everything went red

"WHAT?!??"
A young highschooler laid on his bed while scrolling through his phone
"What kind of a*s of a chapter is this?!?!"
The villain had more potential so why was it so rushed?!?!?
There were so many questions that were unanswered too!!!
"If I were the-"
Before the boy could continue a booming voice from the kitchen startled him.
"HEY BAEK CHAE-WOO! ARE YOU DONE GETTING READY FOR YOUR MIDTERMS!?!"
Oh sh*t I forgot to study
"Y-YEA, MOM! I'M COMING"
The young boy rushed out of his house will a piece of toast in his mouth, along with his unzipped bag, and mismatched socks.
As the boy continued to run, he dug into his pockets
OH SHOOT MY PHONE I LEFT IT AT-
As the boy was too preoccupied digging through his bag, he didn't realize a truck was coming his way until it was too late...
It hurts...........At least I don't have to take my exam............
"ar* yo* wh*t ab** h*****"
"GO W**** AB**** H***** T****"
Oh my gosh it's so noisy
Mom let me sleep in for 5 more minutes
Wait..... DIDN'T I GET HIT BY THAT TRUCK
Chae-woo forced his eyes open as he was greeted by a flashing bright light
Is this heaven?
"So damn noisy"
His head was throbbing as he rubbed his eyes before looking ahead of him
Doctors, maids, assistants, and servants stopped what they were doing as they all fell on their knees to bow
"W-we HUMBLE SUBJECTS APOLOGIZE FOR DISTURBING YOUR GRACES' SLEEP"
Huh? What are they saying? Your grace? What?
Chae-woo took a closer look at the room he was in
There's no way this is a hospital room
The bedroom was flawless and spacious. The bed itself was big enough for 5 people to sleep on. The wall designs were beautifully carved and painted. The windows were big as the walls, the chandelier reflected beautiful light from the window.
Where even am I?
"M-Master Claude, are you feeling better? You suddenly got a high fever out of nowhere and collapsed."
"uhmmhmm I'm-"
Hold up..........WHAT
"You got something wrong my name is-"
"Young Master Damaris is there something wrong?"
Wait............ Claude...............Damaris..............CLAUDE ASHFORD DAMARIS!??!?!
"YOU! GET ME A MIRROR"
The maid closest to him scrambled to get up and trembled as she handed him a mirror
There was no mistaking it. Hair as white as snow, sharp cold eyes deep as the ocean, soft pale skin........ he was Claude Ashford Damaris
Am I dreaming because I pushed my body's limit for studying for today's midterm?
