The woman who gave birth to a beautiful baby looked exactly like Kuina but in a more mature form.
Suddenly, everything went dark and Alex woke up in the real life, inside his room in the Blue Haven Villa.
''Ah! Ah! Ah!" He gasped for breath. Alex held his head feeling an intense headache. His head was throbbing like crazy.
''What was that?" He asked himself, he couldn't recall everything but he knew he was holding someone dear to him, someone dear to him who arrived into his life. He was happy for her to be the Hope in his life as well he was afraid, afraid of what this might apply.
Suddenly, Alex noticed blood in his hand, his right hand to be more accurate.
''What the hell?"
He looks at his right hand to check if he was injured without him knowing, however, no matter how many he checked he didn't find any injury. It was then, he noticed blood dripping onto the bed, blood was dripping from his right, he unconsciously touched his right eye where the death's eye is, he was indeed bleeding, his right eye was tightly shut at the moment and he was also feeling a burning sensation from it.
Before he could further check what is happening, he was assaulted by a sudden fatigue, this was not a physical fatigue, it was more like a mental one. He fell asleep. He had the same dream as well and the only conclusion to which Alex arrived was.
''Impossible! I had a daughter with my mother-in-law.''
''What is this dangerous premonition.''
The following morning Alex woke up but wasn't in a great mood because of that premonition he had had last night, he couldn't stop thinking about it so much that all he could currently think of was that premonition.
''You saw it right?" Alex asked for Silveria's opinion as soon as he opened his eyes.
〖Yes! Strangely this time I saw everything.〗She responded positively and Alex nodded before raising another question.
''So, what is your thought on this matter?"
〖Aren't you overreacting too much? What if that woman was none other than Kuina, not her mother?〗Silveria who had seen through Alex's worries raised those questions.
''Well, I thought it would be impossible that it's Kuina because we always use birth control pills every time we have sex,'' Alex explained his reasoning but Silveria refuted it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt〖You of all people should know it's possible.〗
''No! It's impossible I say.'' Alex firmly denied any possibility of Kuina or any other girl getting pregnant, he was hundred percent sure about those birth control pills.
〖Are you reacting because you have absolute confidence in those pills or simply because you are afraid of what this will entail if your premonition were to come truth.〗Silveria truthfully said the thing Alex was the most afraid of. He could not offer any reply as what Silveria said was the absolute truth, he was more afraid of the possibility of getting Kuina pregnant than her mother because this would spell disaster.
''You can not understand. If this premonition were to come to realize then I will be in big trouble. I can't have Kuina be the mother of my first child because -"
〖Because this will break the stability of the harem, right?〗
Alex nodded at Silveria's question and she carried on.
〖I don't understand you, humans. What difference does this make? You should be happy with this unexpected news yet you are here, currently fearing this possibility. Something must be wrong with you.〗Silveria concluded and Alex decided to explain to her.
''You can't understand because you're not a man. As you said it should have been happy with such premonition but only if the one giving birth was either Luna or Maria. If it was only Kuina they wouldn't be any problem but not when the one getting pregnant first is Kuina one of the latest ones to recently join the harem. It will break the balance because believe in me it will and this is something I will never want, not having a sense of peace inside the Harem will be the scariest thing to ever happen to me. Hopefully, this is just a bad premonition, not something that will cause me trouble.'' Alex added at the end of his sentence that he truly hoped that everything was just a bad dream if not it would mean endless trouble and this trouble is something he would not go when the final battle is closing in.
〖Let's hope you are right.〗Silveria also hoped after getting an understanding of the situation.

Meanwhile, in another location, Gracier was fighting against monsters. Phantoms to be more exact.
A phantom swept its claw at her, but she quickly ducked, letting it pass over her Flames burst under Gracier's feet, and using it as a propelling force, she plunged into the phantom with her right fist. She wanted to be the most brutal possible.
The phantom smiled wickedly.
It was an incorporable existence. Only when it wanted did its body parts turn materialistic!
This kid with flame abilities could forget about landing any damage.
Swoosh~!
Gracier's fist passed right through its chest, but instead of completely passing through, she stopped it in mid-chest.
The fist then erupted with sizzling golden flames!
"I always wanted to taste my fist into something.'' She said with a polite smile.
"Thank you for giving me the opportunity."
A large volume of flame exploded out, creating an enormous hole in the phantom's body.
The heat the golden flames emanated startled other phantoms. Because they were melting the very essence of the phantom.
She didn't waste time. Given the element of shock, now was the best time to handle the nearby phantoms.
Jumping above the burning phantom, she stretched her hands and started spinning, forming a tornado of flames.
Whoosh~!
Golden flames blasted outwards and took the shocked phantoms in their embrace.
"WAAA!"
The phantoms wailed as their bodies caught fire.
"You got to be kidding me!"
The Phantom King couldn't believe what he was seeing.
This time it was to awaken himself from whatever nightmare this reality was. Because there was no way the flames of that kid could do something like that.
"I'm seeing things!" He told himself when the scene didn't change. "This is only an illusion!"
The spinning tornado of golden flames expanded as it engulfed the nearby phantoms. The phantoms refused to let this Gracier destroy them. They slashed out with their claws, ripping the layers of flames, and managed to escape. But by then, their bodies were already on fire, and escaping the tornado did little to reduce their misery.
Their ghostly bodies dropped to the floor, and they rolled as the fire slowly incinerated them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe countless other phantoms fled away from the range of the tornado. Their job was to create hurdles, but they no longer dared obstruct this crazy girl.
BANG
The tornado of flames burst from inside, and Gracier stepped out, thoroughly exhausted. The flames behind him faded, and she leaned against a pillar for support.
Gracier jumped back avoiding the gigantic claws trying to rip her apart.
''Shit!" The Phantom King complained because his attack failed. He was about the attack when Gracier's body suddenly changed, evolving, she had transformed into her dragon's form. She disappeared from the monster's sight.
''Do you think now is the time to be distracted?"
Gracier's voice rang in the phantom king's ears, bringing him back to reality.
It quickly turned his head.
But it was too late.
BANG!
By then, Gracier's fist has brutally pounded onto his chest.
Its chest caved in, and its back arched out while its body slammed into the wall at his back.
This wall burst into flame and countless flame hands tried to drag the phantom king's body into the flame.
The phantom king didn't even get the time to resist—all due to a moment of carelessness.
"Relax, this isn't the end for you," She said with a friendly smile. "In fact, it is a start…the start of your eternal suffering."
"!!!"
The phantom king growled, and flames exploded out of it. But these flames were swallowed by Gracier's flame, strengthening it.
Gracier snapped her fingers, and the flame disappeared. Now the phantom king has no choice of escape even if it broke its confinement.
''Fuh! This Hell's prison is too exhausting to use.'' Gracier complained but could not hide the smile forming on her smile. This is new skill created a few days ago was proven to be a useful skill Gracier could rely on. She could see how useful this skill gonna be in the long run.
''I wonder how the others are doing? How my brother is doing? Has his relationship with Incursio progressed?" Gracier voiced her worries. There were so many things worrying her but she knew not to overact, her brother had forbidden her from doing so. The only thing she could do at the moment was to progress, to acquire more strength because it is only this way she could be useful for her brother, for their family and truly get the happiness she wanted.
''Let's move to the next floor.'' She said before moving forward.
