Night in the Inn

The counter lady looked at the two of them and sighed before replying, "There are always bad and sweet times in a relationship, you need to enjoy the sweet times, but when there is a need to stand at the side of your loved ones, you should never retreat."

"What are you talking about?" Rebecca asked with an annoyed expression.

The lady shook her head before replying, "I can only give you a single room if you want, but I can't rent you a separate room. This is a couple inn, and I can't break the rules just for anyone."

Rebecca opened her mouth to say something, but no sound came out of her mouth. Only now did she realize the meaning of 'Couple Inn.' Everyone was looking at them with a strange gaze.

"You look so good together, just forgive each other." A woman who was dining with her husband said with a smiling face.

"Yes, don't be so hard on yourself." another woman said.

"See, how pitiful the boy looks, just forgive him." Someone else spoke from the crowd.

"Aiii… if I had a husband this handsome…."

All the people in the dining hall spoke one by one. Ayaan and Rebecca didn't know if they should laugh or cry. What was this situation?

In the end, they ended up in the same room. They were about to search for a different inn, but someone told them, all the other inns are full due to some upcoming events in the capital.

In the center of the room was placed a single bed. A bonfire was burning at the side of the wall continuously—a small table with a chair at the front of the bed. There was a small washroom as well attached to the room.

Ayaan looked at the bed and spoke like a gentleman, "You sleep on the bed; I will sit by the bonfire."

"But…" Rebecca was about to say something, but Ayaan didn't wait for her to finish and walked towards the bonfire. It was the winter season, and without any support of blaze or a thick blanket, he will turn into an ice cube.

Rebecca looked at the broad shoulders of Ayaan and walked towards the bed before lying on it. The bed was comfortable and soft. Rebecca closed her and slept with her smiling face.

Poor Ayaan was still shivering in the cold; bonfire wasn't enough to control the coldness. Ayaan fell on the ground and cuddled his knees with his hands. 

'Fuck, what was even in my mind when I asked her to sleep on the bed?' he cursed a few times, looked towards the bed, and saw a beauty sleeping comfortably.

Suddenly, he remembered that he was a mage.

'How could I forget that I am a mage? damn it!'

Yes, he was a mage. So, he instantly circulated a magic power, and all the cold disappeared. There is no cold, which could compare to the coldness of death energy. His body slowly became warm and felt more comfortable. He sat down in front of the bone fire while still cursing for stupidly giving her a bed.

The night slowly ended, and dawn arrived. The suns' rays entered the room and fell on the sleeping beauty and Ayaan, who had fallen asleep on the ground.

Rebecca was the one who woke up first, and when she saw Ayaan was sleeping on the ground in this cold weather, she realized what mistake she had made. She just needed to say, he could sleep on the same bed, but she neglected everything, and he had to sleep like this.

She felt a pang of guilt and an unknown warmth in her heart, which she had never felt before after leaving her family.

The sunshine fell on his handsome face, which became even more dazzling. Rebecca, who was standing not far away from him, became mesmerized by his handsome countenance. Ayaan felt sunshine and opened his eyes. The first thing greeting him was a gorgeous countenance of a beautiful girl who was staring at him with her gentle gaze.

When Rebecca saw Ayaan was looking at her, she became distracted and looked at the side with her red cheeks. Her heart was beating like crazy.

'Why the hell I became so excited just now?' She wondered in her heart and turned to look at Ayaan again, who was still massaging his eyes.

"Good morning!" she greeted him with a smile. Ayaan looked at her and thought something was different about her today but couldn't put his hands on it.

"Morning~" Ayaan replied to her and stood up before looking at her.

"Go, fresh up. I will ask a counter lady to send our breakfast in the room."  He said before walking out of the room, Rebecca looked at his back with her red cheeks and didn't know why she became nervous when she talked to him just now, It never happened before.

The dining hall was on the ground floor, but their room was on the first floor. Ayaan went downstairs and asked the counter lady for breakfast.

"I hope everything is fine between you two now," The lady said to the Ayaan. He didn't know what to say and smiled bitterly. Arguing won't help him anyway, so he didn't say anything.

When he arrived in the room, Rebecca was still in the bathroom. Ayaan could hear the sound of water flowing. And for distracting his mind from the noise, he opened his status window.

Quest: There is a dungeon in the east side of the city. Clear it and acquire the egg inside that dungeon. (Reward: 100 credits)

As Ayaan's gaze fell on the mission, his eyes went wide in surprise.

"I can get this type of mission as well!? And how the hell Magic library knows about the existence of the egg inside the dungeon?"

Ayaan murmured continuously when Birdy's voice suddenly chimed in his head," What do you know? The library has the world's most exceptional tracking system in it. Nothing could escape from it much less some small dungeon, hmph!."

"Really? So, can I use this tracking system?" Ayaan asked excitedly.

"No, This tracking system is only for 'Magic Library.' But if you want a tracking system, you can buy it."

"Alright~," Ayaan said with a disappointed look and continued to check his status.

"I still need to buy a magic art compatible with the death element, or my understanding of the death element won't increase after a certain point," Ayaan said with a depressed face.

"You can still buy a part of the god rank magic art. You have 100 credits, which are enough to buy two parts of the god-rank magic art. You can easily reach the great mage with those two parts." Birdy explained to him, and Ayaan's eyes instantly brighten up.

He immediately opened the library and clicked on the 'Magic Art' option. The window changed, and a new screen appeared.

There were magic arts of different grades, mortal rank, spirit rank, earth rank... god rank.

Without dwelling on other options, Ayaan opened the god-rank magic arts.

Ayaan searched for at least ten minutes and looked towards the bathroom, which was still closed and continued to browse more magic arts.

.

.

Heaven Destroyer Art: The wielder of this art has the power and capability to destroy heaven.

Elements: Death elements, space element, life element, destruction element, time element.

Credits required to buy: 10K

Ayaan looked at the art, and an excited expression appeared on his face.

"Holy shit! All the elements are supreme grade in this art!" Ayaan said with an excited voice.

"Do you even know the meaning of five supreme grade elements in a single magic art?" Birdy asked, and Ayaan became embarrassed because he didn't know the meaning of this.

"Only god-rank magic arts provide a person five elements which are the highest number of runes a person could form." Birdy explained with her usual cute voice.

"You mean: five elements is the highest number any person can have?" Ayaan asked with a doubtful expression.

"Yes, but do you think everyone has five-element? For five-element: you need a god rank magic art. Do you think anyone could have god rank magic art?" He immediately understood the meaning of her words.

The normal spell was so hard to get in the Caspian kingdom much less magic art. Just forget about god rank magic arts, even mortal grade would be treated as a heavenly treasure in this region.

"The heaven destroyer magic art was made by the greatest demon. I think you had already guessed it after seeing its name" Ayaan nodded when he heard her, and Birdy continued, "It is the only magic art I have seen which have five supreme rank elements."

"Creak~" 

The door of the bathroom opened, and Ayaan had to close the window hurriedly.
