Destroying My Own Novel

“They have cleared the last tower they possess…” Arum said as she looked at the notification. “They’re finally free from the demons and don’t have to worry about the breakout,” Arum continued as she looked at Roxanne who was sitting next to her. “Are we going to clear the fortieth floor before the breakout happens?” Arum asked.

“Yes, that’s our goal and honestly we don’t have any other choice but to try our best to clear the towers. I wonder if we can do it though because I don’t think we will ever become as strong as them,” Roxanne answered and sighed.

Asmond approached them and told them the break time was over. They all continued and went to the thirty-seventh floor to take the capital city back from the demons.

A week had passed and they cleared the fortieth floor, but they lost a handful of Awakeners. It was unfortunate, but they couldn’t do anything about it since they weren’t like Mykel’s team who had cleared all the towers without losing a single life.

“Let’s head out,” Asmond said after he shared all the reward chests.

All of them entered the portal and walked the endless hallway with a gloomy atmosphere. They weren’t happy because nobody would look at what they had achieved, especially compared to what the Guild Association had achieved. Not only that, they lost more and more Awakeners which would only make things harder for them. Lastly, their achievement meant nothing since the breakout would happen anyway.

“Asmond, I have been thinking. Why don’t we use the steel and turned them into bullets? I think it’s worth the try because these steels are strong enough to penetrate Demons,” Glen pointed out and looked at Asmond as he held a block of steel as big as a brick.

“That’s really a good idea, but we can’t take what we have shared with the others. It’s the only payment we can give to them, and now you’re asking them to give those rewards back?” Asmond asked with a pitiful smile. “I don’t mind giving the steel that I have and turning it into ammunition, but would that even be enough?” Asmond asked again.

Glen turned his head and looked at the gloomy Awakeners behind him.

“Well, that doesn’t mean your idea is bad. We can try and ask the general about this. I wonder if we can even use steel as a bullet though,” Asmond said.

Glen nodded his head with understanding and then looked at the steel in his hand.

“We are done here, right? Is there anything else that you want me to do?” Rufus asked.

“No, there’s nothing else. We can rest or try leveling up before the breakout a week from now,” Asmond answered as he shook his head.

“Alright. I have somewhere else to go,” Rufus said and hurriedly left the tower.

Asmond and the others watched him leave, and they knew where he was planning to go. Rufus had been so suspicious about Keysha and made sure she didn’t do anything behind his back while he was away. It was all thanks to Mykel, because of him, Rufus started to think bizarre things.

“I never thought he hasn’t slept with Keysha. I wonder if she’s reluctant or Rufus who never got the chance to do it,” Silas pointed out and looked at Glen.

“You think a woman is so easy to get laid? She must have a reason. Maybe she’s a rare one where she would only do it to someone she really loves, or maybe she only wants to do it after she got married,” Roxanne answered and was a bit disgusted with Silas’ words.

“Well, she gave Rufus her apartment spare key, right? That alone is enough to prove that she loves him,” Glen said and tried to prevent Roxanne from quarreling with Silas.

“Yeah, Glen is right. If I love someone, I would give the spare key to my apartment,” Arum nodded in agreement.

(In District 1)

Rufus got off the train and hurriedly grabbed a taxi to see Keysha in her apartment. It was already nighttime, so there was no reason for her to be outside, and he wanted to surprise her with a gift he bought as a reason to meet her, so he didn’t tell her that he had come back from the tower.

Rufus arrived at Keysha’s apartment and it was already 10 pm. He looked at how quiet the area where she lived, was and decided to get in since he wanted to see if she was home.

The apartment hall was so quiet, and when he stood in front of Keysha’s door, he was petrified when he heard moans from inside her room. His hands trembled, blood pumping and eyes shaken. He then tried to unlock the door, but his hands weren’t steady so it was difficult for him to unlock it.

Rufus didn’t think and decided to kick the door open and bust the door. The first thing he saw was Keysha clinging to Mykel’s body as Mykel lifted her body with his hands on Keysha’s butt. Keysha was startled and looked at Rufus with her eyes wide open, but then suddenly Mykel created a wind barrier to prevent Rufus from coming closer. He also created another barrier that prevented Rufus from leaving and a sound barrier to prevent everyone from listening.

“Let her go!” Rufus yelled his lungs out as he tried to break the barrier with his bare fists. His head went blank because of the scenery of Keysha having sex with Mykel.

Mykel didn’t say anything as he kept moving his hips and thrusting her. He then turned around so Rufus could see Keysha’s blissful and aroused expressions that Rufus himself had never seen before.

“Keysha! What the fuck?!” Rufus glared at Keysha who enjoyed it and couldn’t resist the pleasure.

Mykel trusted her deeply and made her whole body shake uncontrollably. She started to cling to him more and wrapped her arms around his neck. The moment she kissed Mykel so passionately and ignored Rufus’ presence, that was when Rufus realized it was over.

The moment Rufus turned around, Mykel used his [Telekinesis] skill on him and forced him to watch. Rufus couldn’t even close his eyes, and tears started to fall from his cheeks as he listened to the moans of the woman he loved.

Rufus was forced to watch until the morning and he looked so depressed with empty eyes. After Mykel had had enough with him and Keysha, he removed the barrier to see what Rufus would do to him. Surprisingly, Rufus didn’t even bother to move or to speak as if his brain had stopped working.

“I’ll be taking care of her, so you can leave,” Mykel said after he put his shirt and trouser on.

As soon as Rufus heard Mykel’s voice, his rage came back and made him come back to his sense. He immediately got up and charged toward Mykel and punched him in the face, but he realized that his fist lost its strength the moment his fist touched Mykel’s face.

“What’s wrong? Is that all you got?” Mykel raised his eyebrow and looked down at Rufus.

Rufus tried over and over, but he always lost his power before he could touch Mykel. He was so frustrated that people started to look at him from the hallway and murmured about what had happened.

Since Mykel was a God and Rugus was a mortal, he couldn’t touch Mykel even if he tried. He needed to have [Deus Obscisor ] skill to be able to hurt him, and the only one who could give him that skill was Mara.

“Why? Why!” Rufus shouted.

“Pathetic,” Mykel scoffed, and then kicked Rufus out of the room where people gathered to watch. “I have to bring her to work, so if there’s nothing else you want to say or do, just stay there,” Mykel walked out of the room with Keysha.

Rufus stayed there for a few hours and then decided to go back to District 2 with tears falling down his cheeks. He couldn’t stop it, and he didn’t know why he kept crying even though he believed he had moved on.

“The face he was making was priceless…” Kiersha chuckled mischievously. “Was that your plan? To break his heart?” Kiersha looked at Mykel driving the car.

“That’s one of them, but that’s not the main reason. I want to bring up his hatred and make him the foolish man that destroy Fraternity,” Mykel answered.
