Chapter 42 - 2.12 Raphael, My Servant
No matter from which angle Theodore saw it, the person in front of him couldn't be a human. His long, curly silver hair glittered like a waterfall of stars, his pale skin even whiter and those intense crimson eyes...they carried weight so heavy that it could easily crush someone's breath. Shivers ran down Theodore's spine. If it wasn't for Raphael's appearance being the same, he couldn't even recognize that man with him being totally different. He was beautiful—ethereal and eerie at the same time—as he stood there in the middle of the room in his truest form.
Theodore hated himself, not because he felt a sliver of fear which quickly disappeared as soon as he realized that man was none other than Raphael, but because the sentence he heard earlier kept reverberating in his mind. When his father asked Raphel whether he was interested in taking him as a life companion, thrill and glee coursed through Theodore's veins and he felt euphoric at the mere idea of it.
[Why don't you tell me that he's behind the door, you useless system?!]
[666: Uwaaah QAQ please forgive 666, Host! 666 was too engrossed in taking pictures of Host's vampire form so that 666 can post it in the forum and show off to the other systems!]
Lu Yizhou cursed under his breath and went to the system store to buy the temporary skill "Time Rewinder" which cost 250 points for each purchase. He still had around 1000 points so he had more than enough to buy two sets and rewinded the time to ten seconds earlier. A familiar chime of system notification rang in his mind however, the content was different from the previous ones.
[System Notification: Ding! You have exceeded the purchase limit for temporary skill "Time Rewinder"! Please go back to the main menu to choose another skill ^^]
Lu Yizhou was stunned. [Purchase limit...? There is even a fucking purchase limit in your store?!]
O-oh, Host had started to curse. 666's data trembled violently to the point where some of the 1s and 0s bounced off everywhere in fluster.
[666: H—Host, will you believe 666 if 666 says that it has no idea about this either...?]
[Shut it.] Lu Yizhou hissed.
"Theo..." Melissa covered her mouth, too shocked that she even forgot to change her eyes back. Callen instantly shielded his wife from Theodore's gaze and cleared his throat heavily but it was proven useless because Theodore didn't even give them a glance. Instead, all of his attention was sucked into Lu Yizhou.
