Chapter 208: Meet Cute

"Fate stands in your way."

Black horns.

Dark wings like the spread of a Gargoyle.

"It will always hinder your strength."

The white room of memories.

A stone in hand.

"I…"

A soft touch on my cheeks.

A whisper of desire.

"Can help you, if you can help me."

The devil's offer.

Soul, for a soul.

"Will you flip fate with me?"

My eyes fluttered open.

I immediately turned to my side and saw Titania sleeping peacefully, her hair a mess. After sighing in relief, I looked out at the window.

Scant light flowed in, leaving a grayish look for the sky outside. When I lifted my head up, a small cat was curled over my stomach, snoring peacefully.

I gently rubbed the head of the cat before scratching its neck as I stood up from the bed. The cat opened its eyes too.

"You're up early, Eugene," the cat waved its legs as it spoke.
