Suspicious Situation
“Darling, are you okay?”
A man’s voice asked a pretty girl who was next to him. His face looks worried, even a little panicked. When she heard this, the young lady’s consciousness returned, so she gasped, then spontaneously shook her head once. Atvertha did not even dare to look the other way.
Meanwhile, all the gods in the front line, from rows one to four, including those behind the God of War, stared at Atvertha in astonishment. However, no one had the courage to ask directly and chose just to be spectators.
Damn! What has happened to me? Why did my man’s face appear earlier, then afterward, I remembered nothing at all? It was not good; I hoped that Mom and Dad did not know each other here so that the incident did not become the subject of their conversation because the consequences could be fatal, the pointy-nosed girl hoped in her heart.
“Huh? Yes, I am okay. Do not mind me.”
The Moon Goddess stared at where he placed his right hand, then let go from there. Suddenly a bar that had been blocking their access moved and then opened by itself. The sight made the girl with thin eyebrows interested again, but Atvertha quickly changed her face to be expressionless, as she usually does every day.
“Thank you for verifying your data, Lord Toghnath and Goddess Atvertha. Welcome to The Heavenly Library. Enjoy!”
“Come on, let’s go inside!” asked the black-haired man.
That handsome guy looked excited because the registration process had been completed. However, uncommon events were experienced by the opposite sex.
The girl, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimetres tall, did not answer when the other person asked her to come inside because she suddenly turned her attention to her right wrist. Apparently, a circular multi-coloured light was seen as if the object was a bracelet.
What the hell is it? Why did I just realize if there is a sparkling light like this? Is it a normal or dangerous thing? Well, I have to find out, muttered Atvertha in her head.
Her attention was completely diverted again because the young lady felt the fingers of her right hand being grasped again by the Playboy. Before Atvertha could protest, the well-built man walked towards the library’s main entrance, so she could not help but follow Toghnath’s steps.
Damn, it! Since earlier, that idiot has always acted as he pleased, like holding my hand like now. If it is like this, I swear I will kill him! Atvertha grumbled in her brain so that no one heard about it.
When they just entered the library area, the cold air was accompanied by darkness, even though the light was coming from the ceiling that immediately ambushed the two gods and goddesses.
A gust of wind hit her skin and hair so that the slender girl felt amused and seemed to be able to forget the feeling of annoyance at the man who kept holding her right palm.
“Now, where will we go?” asked Atvertha while looking around the place.
A goddess who really liked a male mortal was amazed because she had never seen strange objects in there. Meanwhile, a man who had two tattoos on his back with a picture of a fire and a scorpion just observed the other person.
When a group of gods and goddesses entered the same place, the unyielding man immediately walked to the side, followed by Atvertha, aiming not to collide with them.
“Because earlier we chose the unlimited libraries package, then now you can be free to decide which room to enter this library,” Toghnath answered, relaxed.
“I want to see all the rooms first, and then one by one; after that, I can decide which book to read in the library.”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“Are you sure?”
“Why do you ask like that? Is there something strange?”
“I ask you one more time. Are you sure that you want to see all the rooms in this building one by one?”
“Yes, I am sure. Why are you even asking for such ridiculous things? Does anyone have any objections if we do that?”
That three-hundred-year-old man had yet to answer, but he seemed to be smiling broadly instead. In Atvertha’s eyes, the other person seemed to be laughing at her but held back as hard as he could, so he would not be seen. This made the wallflower girl feel irritated again, resulting in her forcibly waving her right palm so they no longer held hands like a happy, romantic couple.
“Darling, do not be mad. There are so many rooms here, so if you explore one by one, it will take a lot of time. Then, I have an idea; how about going to the Three First Chamber and the Illumination Secret Chamber so you can decide which one is good for you?”
That girl just nodded, not in the mood to answer verbally. The man tried to hold Atvertha’s fingers, but that young girl refused by pushing away the hand of the man who was liked by both of her parents. When receiving such a rejection, of course, Toghnath felt sad. However, he did not show his feeling openly and chose to walk first.
So many entourages of the immortal gods and goddesses came with their respective families. Atvertha realized this moment. The young woman began to feel something strange, which was difficult to describe in words while walking following the steps of the opposite sex who were leading the direction where they were going, which was now five meters in front of her.
Were the gods and goddesses who visited The Heavenly Library with their children out of work? At least receiving the prayers of the mortals who had faithfully worshipped their deities? I was very confused because they looked so calm, like they were enjoying their holiday. What happened to them? Do not they work? thought Atvertha, who still had a million questions on her mind.
Unexpectedly, the God of War, who had been silent before, now turned his body to the left, so the girl who had been following him did the same. There were so many doors to the left and right of the two, but Toghnath had not stopped yet, so Atvertha was apprehensive but still continued to follow the man leading in front.
They passed through an alley that looked deserted, starkly contrasting the situation in other areas that were so crowded. This moment did not escape the attention of the girl. The smart girl was surprised because it was so quiet there as if no more visitors to The Heavenly Library. In fact, Atvertha could hear the sound of the two’s footsteps in the hallway, which felt long and seemed endless.
Is the fool walking in the right direction? Could it be that he has deliberately turned to the wrong section? If that were the case, I would kill him for sure. I do not want to be treated badly by an idiot with a terrible reputation like Toghnath, Atvertha thought, clenching her fists together.
Atvertha’s violet eyes also turned red. However, the opposite sex does not know about this situation because the man keeps walking without looking back. That virgin goddess glanced to the left and right, and many doors were tightly closed.
“Where are you going-”
Before Atvertha had time to finish her words, the man stopped walking and then turned to the confused girl, so she stopped talking. In front of Toghnath is a door that says, “The Three First Chamber, the place where all adventures originate and will keep you hooked!”
“This is the place that I told you about before. Come to me because we are going inside,” said Toghnath softly.
“Okay.”
After saying this, the young lady walked over and stood on Toghnath’s left. The man who had long loved the only daughter of the couple, God Helion and Goddess Avtexia, was still staring at the girl without blinking at all. Atvertha realized that the door had no handle, making it difficult to open it from the outside. She stared at the amber-eyed man, asking, “Now, what should I do?”
“Put your right wrist against the door,” Toghnath answered with the same tone of voice.
Without many words, the girl, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimetres tall, did what that young man said. A light appeared there, so suddenly the door opened by itself, which made Atvertha gasp for a few seconds.
“Oh, my-”
