In the morning, Ansel opened his eyes and rushed to examine Heka. Last night he only slept for 4 hours. For him, it was more than enough.

He saw Heka who was sleeping. But, there was no sign of the arrival of Lexus. It meant that Heka hadn’t got a soul delivery yet. “Maybe today is not his time to get a soul delivery. Maybe tomorrow.”

He looked under the bed and saw the black shadow was still there. “As I thought, that the spirit is still in there and hasn’t left yet.”

And then, Ansel waited until day after. He prayed that Lexus would come soon and gave Soul Delivery to Heka.

The next day, Lexus didn’t come. It made Ansel feel restless. He was very frightened if Heka didn’t get Soul Delivery from Lexus.

Moreover, Heka’s body condition became weaker. Meanwhile, Ansel could not help to restore Heka’s body. If Heka’s body recovered and got better, soon. Then Lexus would never come. Moreover, Heka was not Shenmorta. It meant there was no chance for Heka to get Soul Delivery.

It made Ansel’s anxiety get worse. “Tonight, I will not to sleep.” He closed the door.

At night something happened unexpectedly. Lately, Ansel has been very nervous. Usually it made him difficult to sleep. But not for that night, he felt sleepy and fell asleep easily.

In the morning, Ansel woke up from his long sleep. His eyes looked at the clock on the wall which showed 07.00 am.

He realized that something strange had happened to him, because he had slept for 8 hours. He got up immediately and rushed to Hansel’s room.

Ansel saw Heka had woken up and was standing in front of the window. His condition became normal.

Heka knew someone had opened the door. So he turned around. “Good morning.”

Ansel suddenly felt very weak and helpless. He could barely even stand up.

Heka has indeed recovered. He was normal and looked healthy.

Ansel also felt that his insomnia had disappeared. But for him, it was something worst. “Why didn’t Lexus come? What exactly happened?” He looked under the bed and checked in. The spirit that he saw last night has gone.

That meant it was the spirit who gave Heka strength and Soul Delivery. It was not a Lexus.

He had absolutely no idea what would happen to Heka. One thing was for sure. It was bad and dangerous.

“Good morning too, you seem so healthy. You have long sleeping time. It was more than 24 hours.” Ansel tried to pretend to be okay as if nothing bad had happened.

“Where is McVeigh? I don’t see him.” Heka asked.

“He visited somewhere. What’s wrong?”

Heka thought of going home soon. He felt uncomfortable being at Ansel’s house. After all, he felt that he had recovered.

"I want to say goodbye." Heka said while showing Ansel that he had packed up.

 “You just received Soul Delivery. It's better to take more rest here first.”

“Thanks. I don’t want to bother you. Meanwhile, I feel more comfortable when I rest at home.”

“That means you want to go straight away.” Ansel offered Heka to take him home. “Okay, I’ll drive for you.”

“It’s okay, I can go home alone. Thank you so much for your help. I owe you my life.” Heka had just left.

In front of the door, Heka turned around. "Give him my regards, please. Thank you for helping me. Good bye.”

“Okay.” Ansel noticed Heka, who opened the door. He felt a deep feeling of sadness. The door closed, and he felt a tremendous pain in his head.

It made him unable to stand up. He leaned his body against the wall. Slowly, he dropped his body on the floor.

He became guilty of offering Heka Soul Delivery. Since he didn’t help him, he dropped him into the abyss.

“Heka, I’m sorry.”

It was the only word he couldn’t ever say to Heka.

Moreover, the fact that Ansel brought Heka, he had to endure everything. He might be responsible for all the bad things that would happen. He knew it wasn’t easy and would drain his energy without residue.

He still imagined the Bloody Marriage that had been haunting him. For him, it was so painful.

Ansel kept seeing the falling flower petals that exploded. Blood came out of the petals.

He couldn’t understand clearly what happened in the Bloody Marriage. But he was sure of one thing. There would be an explosion at the wedding party. It was just that he couldn’t see clearly what was exploding.

“Explosion. But what’s explode?”

That was all he could think of. The harder he interpreted what the explosion meant, his head hurt so much.

Ansel stood up slowly. He walked by holding the wall, so that he didn’t fall. His vision was a little blurry. He had trouble breathing.

He knew what caused it all. He just needed to reduce the pain in his head.

He headed to the medicine box he had placed on top of the refrigerator. He took one capsule and drank it. Then, he felt that one capsule of medicine would not react at all. His head really hurt.

He took two more capsules and drank them.

Ansel had long prepared some medicines on the refrigerator. It was for half a year later. Although it was quite a while, he was sure that one day he would need it. It was about  the time. Before, he had not found the answer.

Nowadays, he knew the reason.

Ansel plopped down on the chair. Then he leaned his body on the table. He closed his eyes and felt a pain in his head that slowly disappeared.

Immediately, he felt relieved and could breathe. His vision was no longer blurry.

“If there is a way to turn time fast, I will do anything just for that. I hope everything will happen soon. I can’t keep up with all this anymore.”

He understood for sure the time span difference between the human realm and the Immortal realm was. Everything he saw was in accordance with the time in the Immortal realm.

Then, it was all returned to the human realm. So time seemed to run very slowly. That was The Rules of Realm. It can never be changed or understood by everyone. Both humans and immortals.

That actually made Ansel want to create a new world. “Will there be a change in numbers? There is no time difference between the human realm and the Immortal realm. I’m so tired.”
