Darling Doll

"That brat, who does he think he is anyway?" Sia lightly touched her neck which was full of red marks while grumbling in irritation.

Originally she had wanted to tease Achilles and tempted him to become her toy, but who would have thought the ma was crazy enough to pin her down and mess with her back.

She was irritated by what happened but a sense of excitement was also grown in her after that. Somewhere deep inside she wanted the two of them to play with each other like that again.

"Next time I'll make him pay for messing with me like that!" Sia said in determination and walked into her limousine and ordered the driver to take her back into the company.

Soon the car arrived at the Evernight Corp and she got off the car. But someone was waiting for her at the entrance.

'Ahh I should have stayed at his place...' Sia complained in her mind.

A young man with brown hair and an air of arrogance around him was standing at the entrance with his arms folded. He looked at everyone around him with scorn as if he was better than them.

When he saw Sia he immediately walked to her direction while staring at her.

"Brad...what are you doing here?" Sia asked with pure indifference and disinterest.

"Where did you go?" Brad, who was Sia's cousin questioned her back instead of answering.

"What does that have to do with you?"

"You're mine! I need to know your every action!" Brad yelled at Sia in anger, then continued when he noticed the red marks on her neck: "What's that on your neck? Who did you meet?!"

"My boyfriend. Now if you excuse me I have work to do." Sia answered the first part with a warm smile then switched back to her cold tone.

"Hold on! Who is your boyfriend? I will cut him into pieces!" Brad held Sia back and said with a threatening voice.

[...] Sia's eyes gradually turned dull grey as her aura changed slowly.

"What? Is he a pathetic weakling that you're too afraid to tell me?! Guess I'll have to track him down and make him suffer the worst pain there is! HAHAHAHA!!!" Brad laughed maniacally while saying those words, which drew the attention of the passers-by.

Sia turned around and stared directly at Brad with her indifferent dull grey eyes, she spoke with her murderous intent leaked out a little:

[I'll kill you right now if you don't remove those dog hands of yours.]

Brad had to take a step back out of fear at the intensity of her aura, he flinched a little while staring at her in fear.

"You...you..." He muttered with trembling legs before falling down on his butt.

[Touch my darling doll or me and you can say goodbye to your manhood.]

At this point, Brad had already pissed his pants but there was still a mixture of fear and excitement on his face.

'M...' Sia silently judged Brad with his weird fetish.

"Goodbye, pissy boy." Her eyes returned to the pale blue color and she went inside the building.

"ACHOO!"

"...Did I get flu or something?" Achilles scratched his nose while mumbling.

"...Anyway, where was I? Oh right! I need to summarize what happened within the Mindscape." He smacked his palm together in realization.

'It seems I only have around 15 minutes before the Mindscape starts to break down and the white void appears.'

'This would be troublesome...' Achilles clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Originally, he had wanted to try to see if he could devour even the creatures that he had already absorbed their remnants, but that seemed to be a big no-no.

The time required for a soul artifact to appear was around 20 minutes, which meant the Mindscape would already be destroyed if he tried to go in afterward.

'Life is such a bitch...' Achilles sighed in regret but he quickly regained his spirit.

If things had already happened then there was no use thinking about what could have been.

'...Another thing that needs to be noticed is how the Mindscape broke like a mirror and then another land appeared beneath it.'

'It can be explained that it was an illusion to hide where the soul core was.'

'...Was that specially designed for that Mindscape or do all Corrupted share a similar mechanism?'

'Questions after questions....'

"Ugh forget, I'll know about it soon enough."

Achilles was about to take out another corpse to devour and strengthen himself, he saw in a distance a word that was written on a glass cup.

It was just a simple word like he had seen every day in his entire life...but something was wrong.

For a very interspersed split second, the word had changed to become something different.

It was intricate, mysterious, and full of a diabolical feeling to it.

'I've forgotten about it...'

A memory that had almost slipped his mind if he didn't pay careful attention to it.

It was after he had devoured that soul...

...Achilles once again went down a trip back to the memory lane...a specific memory that was originally blurry, and was almost erased from his mind.
