Chapter 40 - Chapter 7

The one thing you believe is just a feeling… can save your life—and the lives of many others.

"I'll be back in a bit," I inform them, and before anyone can say anything, I run toward the building.

I head to Max's room first, but no one is there. As I make my way to the winter training hall, I remember something important—I have a little puppy who can help me. Satan.

Satan might be stronger than me, but he also has a weakness. He's scared of dogs.In the mansion, we have two: Gummie, Liam's dog, and Honge, Lila's dog.

"Satan~ come out, wherever you're hiding."I'm not sure if Satan is here—I can't sense his magic—but I can sense someone's presence.The only reason I'm unsure if the one I'm sensing is Satan is because of how they're breathing.

Satan usually breathes fast—like, really fast.This person is breathing quickly, too… but not as fast as that little menace, Satan.

"Who are you?"I'm in the best waiting room, the one that leads to the winter training hall.

Whoever they are, they're fast. I can hear them moving—corner to corner.They aren't human. Not demons, either.

I look up at the ceiling with annoyance, then close my eyes to rely on my hearing and sense of smell.

Their heartbeat is like a human's. But their breathing—It sounds like how demons breathe, like they're living their last few seconds.Could they be… half-human, half-demon?

They don't answer me. They ignore my question.

I slowly open my eyes, trying to remember what kinds of creatures live in this world.Humans are the most common, but demons are the strongest.Then there are dragons—and angels.

Angels are so rare that some people doubt they even exist anymore.

But this person? They're not a dragon. Dragons are way bigger—and slower.They're not an angel either. Angels are calm. They don't rush around like this.

That only leaves one thing.Cursed angels.

Cursed angels are angels who were cursed by demons.Angels who were too weak, too pathetic to protect themselves.So stupid, they didn't even know when to give up.

They were cursed to carry a dark soul.A dark mind where no kindness exists.Only memories of their past—memories that haunt them,burning them from the inside,again and again.
