Destroying My Own Novel

Mykel looked down and furrowed his forehead, he leaned his head forward then started to chuckle. "What's the meaning of this? Is she really that clumsy?" he said to himself as he grabbed the [Ring of Fire] that Zherthlsh dropped.

The void disappeared, and the moon and the stars started to brighten the sky again. Mykel left the scene using his [Steatlh] skill to prevent anyone to notice him then went back to his hotel room.

The moment Mykel unlocked and opened the door, he was welcomed by Lyneth as she jumped onto him and hugged him so tightly. Her whole body was trembling and Mykel hugged her back, they both didn't say a word because it was a long night for both of them.

The morning came and everyone was gathering in his hotel room, they were so happy Mykel was fine with barely any injuries on him. One thing that they didn't know was Mykel couldn't use his skill for a week thanks to the [Unmatched] skill he used as a side effect.

Although the demon skills were unable to be obtained through the system, he could steal the skills by using the [Duplicate] skill. He now attained the [Unmatched] skill and there was nothing else he wanted at this moment.

"Is that really your doing, Mykel?" Lyneth asked as they all watched the news.

They watched the damage from Mykel's battle with Zherthlsh, it looked like a meteorite struck the ground and made a huge crater. He couldn't even believe it as well since the damage looked worse than he thought it would be.

"It's nothing like what I went through last night, it looks really bad from up there," Mykel answered and looked at the craters on the ground from the helicopter's view.

"Did you kill her?" Jeanne stared at Mykel with curiosity.

"Yes, I killed her, she should be back in the demon world so we don't have to worry about it anymore," Mykel answered without hesitation, everyone believed his words and they all sighed with relief.

"Don't we still have to find the person behind this summoning ritual?" Agnez asked.

"The dagger is in Zherthlsh's hand, and since she's back to the tower, they can't summon a demon anymore," Mykel answered as he walked to the bathroom. "It's all up to Lyneth if she wants to ignore it or take care of the rest of it," he continued as he washed his face.

"It will be a waste of time, and since we still have to inform Kastor and the government about the demonic cult, let them handle the rest of it since we have dealt with the problem," Lyneth answered as she looked at Agnez.

Mykel came out from the bathroom and looked at Nagy, Vincze, and Sven. "The three of you, come with me, it's time to increase your mind-stability skill," he said as he put his blazer on.

Rozan and Gunnar were chuckling as they were slapping each other's forearms. "Have fun, guys!" Gunnar said as he kept chuckling.

Mykel and the three of them went to the next room that he rented specifically to train them.

Lyneth looked at Lillith who was so busy watching the news. "Lillith, you can read people's minds and memories, right? Can you read Mykel's minds and memories?" she asked and the rest of them immediately looked at Lillith since they were curious about it as well.

"My telepathic skill can only read people's minds that don't have a mind control skill. Mykel has it so I can't read his thoughts, minds, or memories," Lillith answered as she looked at them.

"Miss Lyneth, do you know what kind of skills Mykel has? Since you have been together with him the longest," Rozan asked with curiosity.

Lyneth shook her head and pursed her lips. "No, I never asked him and I don't want to know his skills. I just want to know what kind of life he had before he became an Awakener because I have done a background check on him when I first met him, but I got nothing," she said.

"Nothing? Like, nothing at all?" Agnez asked with her eyebrow raised.

"Yes, there's no information about his past, all I know is that he's going to be 28 years old this year because I asked him about his birth date," Lyneth answered as she nodded her head. "But, I'm fine with this because all I want from him is to stay by my side and he does just that," she continued and smiled a bit.

"I know something a bit about Mykel," Jeanne said and they all turned their heads to look at her. "When I spent the night with Mykel, I was a bit drunk and he told me he used to be famous. He said that people hated him for some reason because he did a mistake that he can't erase," she explained while looking at them.

"He used to be famous? If he's an artist, a musician, or an actor, we all should know about him already though," Lillith said. "Is there anyone who loves theory conspiracy here?" she asked.

Rozan hummed and nodded as he put his hand on his chin. "I think I know," he said as he looked at them.

"Well then tell us already," Lillith said as she stared at Rozan.

Rozan stood up and stood in front of them. "Let's start from what we know. First, he's always calm and scary at the same time, he loves to smoke, he's good at fighting empty-handed, he's good at leading, and he knows how to train and kill people, right?" Rozan explained with his fingers raised. "Now that Jeanne said he was famous back then, I think he's famous in his own circle in the past," he said with a serious expression.

"And your answer is?" Agnez asked with her arms crossed.

Everyone looked at Rozan and waited for his answer. "Could he be some kind of a secret agent or mercenary because we can't find his past? Also, I believe he was at his prime until he got betrayed or something then he killed them all so nobody can know who he is since he dared to show himself to the world," he answered with a serious expression.

"Shit, have you thought about this before, Rozan? You seemed so confident about it after finding the last piece of information from Jeanne," Gunnar asked with a surprised expression.

"I have thought about it, yeah, but I still can't believe someone like him really exists," Rozan answered with a troubled face.

"What do you mean, Rozan?" Lyneth asked with her eyebrows furrowed.

"Let's be honest, he appeared from nowhere, he was the one who cleared the first tenth floor. All of his achievements can't be accomplished by anyone even if you tried your hardest. The last thing is that how can he be so powerful that he could do something like that," Rozan said as he pointed at the TV.

"The point is?" Agnez asked as he stared at Rozan from the corner of her eyes.

"You know that a demon in the book can disguise themselves in a human form, right? So, my point is, do you think he's a demon? A demon lord maybe? Or worse is that he's a demon king," Rozan answered.

The moment Rozan said that all of them suddenly trembled in fear and immediately fell down on their knees except for Lyneth. Mykel was using his [Tyrannize] skill on the next door and it was perfectly timed with Rozan's words.

They walked away from the wall in front of them and stood as far as possible to lower the pressure on them. They all gasped for air the moment the pressure wasn't that heavy anymore.

"It's better if we stop this conversation, guys, I think he heard us," Rozan said with fear written all over his face.

"Whatever it is, I don't think Mykel is a demon because if he is, why would he want to defeat the demons if he's one of them? Let's just pretend as if nothing happened because this is getting out of hand," Lyneth said as she looked at them who struggled to stand up.

Everyone agreed but they all still had doubts in their head and chests about Mykel's existence.

"Just like that, we can pretend that nothing happened and pretend that we know nothing about it," Lyneth said as she nodded up at the news on the TV.

"Yes, ma'am," Gunnar said as he sighed and rubbed his chest with relief.

While they were thinking about the conversation silent, Mykel walked back inside the room and everyone was startled when they saw him. Mykel furrowed his forehead and looked at their expression as if they were seeing a ghost. "What? Why are you all looking at me like that?" he asked.

"Nothing, they're just recovering from the pressure from next door," Lyneth answered with a smile on her face.
