Slice of life. part 1

I tried to search for the outer records of the dragon guardian for the past few days. I searched many heavenly guardian's records and found out that he wasn't on the criminal list of creator's. Instead, he played an important part to catch the criminals and bring them to justice.

But when he saw all the guardian's on the list was brutally murders and their soul was getting purification, he lost his respect for the heaven's guardian and left the guaridan realm to live on a planet where mortal lives.

But unfortunately, he was unable to go back and became stuck in the mortal realm. So, he tried to help the humans but he was unable to make any friends. Because humans don't live that long and he suffered from his peoples death from time to time.

After a long time, he gave up on mankind and finally decided to become a villain who rules the underworld. Since then, he started to manipulate strong magicians to eat other powerful magicians. He was trying to gain his powers back by eating rare and powerful humans to go back to his old position. 

   I understand that he's frustrated, but why would you eat humans? Have you never tried grilled meat in his life? Huh! He's the same as Adonis but an idiot.

"Master, what are you thinking about? Do you understand what I just said?"

"Huh? Ah!! What were you saying?"

Viktor was lost in his deep thought that he missed everything that Adonis explained to him. He was explaining how to teach a clone to carry orders.

"Master, you zoned out again, didn't you?"

"Ahaha!! Haha! Sorry."

"Let me explain again. Since a clone's brain is an empty jar, it will take everything in like water. But there is a catch.

A real intelligent being has the same organs just as this clone has but the main thing a clone doesn't have is a soul. A real human's mind and soul is connected, so it's able to carry an infinite amount of knowledge without any problem. But a clone can't do that. Its memory capacity is the same as a crow but it can use its full brain capacity. So there's a limitation on how much knowledge he can carry."

Viktor clapped his hand for Adonis's great explanation. He was feeling proud that Adonis is a real scientist and he can teach very well.

"Master, there's more."

"More?"

"Yes, please sit down and don't stand up on that table to praise me. You will break it-_-."

"Ugh-_-."

Adonis drew a picture of a brain and pointed to the middle parts of it to explain more.

"This part is called the hippocampus where short term and long term memories are stored. A normal intelligent being can hold limitless memories because of the existence of his soul. Without the soul, you can't withdraw any memories with advanced technology scientifically no matter what. It goes the same for a clone. Since it's an empty vehicle, you can't put too many orders or else its blood vessels inside its brain will leak or be damaged. So, I will prescribe to teach him only 20 commands maximum because the previews test subject exposed like a bomb after I taught him the 21th command."

"Adonis is great!!"

"Master, don't stand on the table."

"Ugh!"

     I know everything about what a clone can do but it feels great to see him working this hard to explain. I love to cheer for him. I guess I have to cook him food. 

Come to think of it, I never went inside the kitchen to cook food after I came to this world. After I bought a house, Adonis always prepared the food. I tried so many dishes from this world but it's been a long time since I ate dishes from my hometown. 

I guess I should cook today's dinner.

"Master, do you understand why we can't put too much pressure on a clone?"

"I understand. Since you're trying to figure out a way to increase its brain capacity, you should try learning modern medical technology from my world. This will help you to make a memory chip. I guess you will understand the rest after I give you a book."

Viktor took out some books he made a few days ago and gave it to Adonis. It was some books related to the human body and  applied technology on humans. It was best for him to understand the memory chip.

"There was no magic in the world where I used to live. We used electricity and technology to advance the medical field. Those doctors back in my world could even transplant a heart from a sick man's body."

"Master! These are..!!

"They are blueprints of some machines. But you can upgrade them with magic spells. And go to study now. I'll cook dinner."

Adonis was surprised to hear his master's words. But he was so happy that his master was helping him with everything he could. He was like a god-figure to him.

…

Inside the small apartment kitchen.

I told him that I'll cook food for him today, but why is there no onion in here?

Viktor searched the whole kitchen but he found nothing that he wanted to use for cooking. So he took out two huge chickens from the storage and cut them into small pieces.

Now, let's marinate this thick baby!

First, I'm going to heat the oil and dip my marinated juicy meat in my batter. When the oil is 275°, you simply throw them inside but be careful not to burn your fingers.

The small babies will cook beautifully until it's golden brown and pick them out when you smell it.

I don't know the time because I measure it with my soul, my feelings for the spicy chicken fry. So, don't ask me the time.

Viktor made a hot sauce to mix the fried chicken and poured two big glasses of beer. 

He was ready for dinner.

   I wonder if he's still studying. The books I gave him contain so much information that his brain might be glitching right now. I should feed him dinner before he finally loses it.

"Adonis! I think you should close the book and come. Dinner is ready!"

From a dark portal door, Adonis poked his head out and saw his master was waiting for him. So, he walked closer to the table and said, "Master, what kind of food is this?" 

Adonis took a seat in front of him and said, "Master, did you forget to bring the fork and knife?"

"This is called spicy fried chicken. And you eat it with your hands. This dish doesn't require any table manners. You just eat it as long as it looks like a human is eating, not an animal."

"Okay then. But why did you pour this huge glass of beer?"

"You will need it more, so just taste it and tell me how it tastes."

Adonis picked up the biggest piece at first and took his first bite. Unknowingly, a drop of tears came out and a long line of water started to follow it as well.

"Master!!!" 

Hic…hiccc

"Stop crying like a baby, drink some beer and thank me later." 

"Master, what kind of hellish sensation I'm feeling inside my mouth! It's so tasty!!"

"Heheh! This is the food I used to enjoy after a long day of work! But I'm not going to teach you. Because it's my treat and I'll cook it for us from time to time."

"Master! You are the best but you're the worst for keeping the recipe secret! I'll search the whole world for this recipe from today!"

"Calm down and enjoy your dinner. I made enough for both of us so eat it until your mind is satisfied." 

"Master, demon's don't get satisfied that easily. I'm afraid that I'll end up finishing your meal as well."

"Hahaha! Don't worry, I'll cook you some more tomorrow. So let's just enjoy the dinner. Cheers."

"Cheers, master."

    I used to have a long line of customers in the coffee shop because of my coffee. I don't know why but I guess I have talents for cooking. The customers were so mad for my coffee that a police officer suspected that I might use drugs in it. But when they found out it was all okay and my coffee naturally tasted that good, I gained a full department of police customers. 

But I had to leave my job because of my ex-boss from the office and ended my life after a year.

Hah! Old days. I wonder if that coffee shop is still open. I'd like to spend some time on that corner table beside the old cherry blossom bonsai with a hot cup of dark coffee. 

The place where I liked to spend time after closing the shop. I want to go back and breathe the city air once again. I want to taste some root beer at midnight and walk back home wiggling on the street.

I want to go back and spend my time in that tiny old apartment. Even if it's for a day, I'd be thankful to the creator who created me and gave me a last chance. I'm so tired from this huge burden on my shoulders. I want to sleep peacefully.

For the first time after 11 years, he became drunk for turning off his poison resistances in his body unconsciously. So, he fell asleep after drinking 3 glasses of beer on the table.

Adonis looked at him and saw his face become red for the first time. He knew he was drunk, so he carried him back to his bed and covered his body with his warm blue blanket. 

"Good night master. I'll make sure to wipe all the burdens off your shoulder so that you can live a peaceful life. Even if it needs my own life, I'll gladly sacrifice it for you. So sleep peacefully, my lord. Your servant will take care of the rest."

He closed the door silently after leaving the room.
