MOON GODDESS: The Novel Reader's Fate (BL)

Chapter 11

    As the deep, silvery voice reached my ears, I quickly turned around, my heart skipping a beat. A shadowy figure stood behind me, his presence commanding the air around him. I looked up and met the gaze of the tall man before me. It only took a moment to realize—it was Vincenzo Drake who had spoken. So this is his voice—rich, smooth, and unexpectedly calming.

    Then, it hit me, he carried the scent of Luna, the same fragrance I recognized from his cat. But his scent was stronger, more intense, almost as if he embodied the very essence of the moon.

    "You are here, Luna."

    As Luna heard her father, Luna immediately jumped off the chair and hopped on his father's broad shoulder, sitting on top of it as if it was her throne.

    "How surprising. This cat forbids lowly creatures to touch her as it only allows the owner. He is a lot different from any ordinary animal," Vincenzo stated as his eye stayed on Luna, patting gently its head.

    Narinig ko mula sa likuran ang pag-talon ni Samuel mula sa puno. Humakbang siya ng ilang beses bago nakarating sa tabi ko.

    Samuel patted the dust off his clothes as he asked emotionlessly, "How is that thing different?"

    "She has powers."

    "She has powers."

    Natigilan ako nang sabay at pareho kami ng sinabi ni Vincenzo. Umangat ang tingin ko sa kaniya at mukhang nagulat din ito. Hanggang sa nagpalipat-lipat ang tingin ko sa kanilang dalawa.

    Of course, I knew that, novel reader ako ng libro niyo!

    Vincenzo finally spoke, his expression remained calm and noble, "You know a lot of things."

    I swear to heavens above, hindi ako mababaliw sa pagkamatay ng author ng librong 'to kundi sa kaba sa tuwing nakikita ko ang mga karakter dito. I was just planning to watch from a far, admiring as the story flowed naturally, but why am I always surrounded by the male leads?! Aren't they supposed to be meeting with Selene, the real female lead?!

    Suddenly, Samuel snorted and replied, "Of course, he knew that! Night has the power to tame and control all living things under the spirit of the moon."

    My eyes widened, "I can do that?!"

    By taming and controlling all living creatures, Selene is the number one welder of this power. As she is also the only one possessed this kind of power which was believed as the rarest lunar power in the whole Southern Skypia. Yet, for me to also have this, does that make us two?! I mean, wala naman akong planong pantayan siya sa kahit anong bagay, after all she is the real reincarnation of the Moon Goddess.

    The power known as Moonlit Tamer, given by the spirit of the moon, grants its wielder the ability to command every living creature—whether human, animal, or even dark creature. Southern Skypia, suspended high in the skies, is home to Great Mona Academy, which is built atop a secluded and enchanting mountain. This location, being the closest point to the moon, is bathed in lunar energy, enveloping the entire campus. As a result, the thousands of students who harness lunar energy are at the peak of their power within this mystical domain.

    Napatingin ako kay Samuel at Vincenzo tsaka ko mariin na pinikit ang mata ko.

    "Y-Y-Yeah, I can do that! Just a piece of cake!" I lied in a bragging tone.

    All I do here is lie, mukhang babagsak ako heavenly judgement kapag namatay ako sa labas. Sana naman walang gano'n sa tunay na mundo! Pero just in case, paglabas ko dito gagawa na talaga ako ng maraming mabuti.
