The Bored Immortal

Chapter 505 Suspicious

Sayana was feeling a bit nervous upon Dorian’s return. Since her worries about Dorian’s disappearance have been clouding her mind till now, she finally remembered her own feelings towards him.

She has confessed to her mother, but can she confess to the person in question?

She didn’t want to disturb Dorian for the night since he deserved some rest, though she was looking up the internet to ask strangers in forums whether it was good or bad to confess to a boy she liked.

There were some mixed responses, but most of them were telling her to “go for it” considering how life was short and that someone else may get to him first.

She knew her college would reopen after this weekend, and after some deep contemplation, she decided to ask Dorian out when her college reopens. This was the first time she had such strong feelings toward a boy, and she didn’t want to have any regrets, even if it might not end the way she wanted.

However, unlike Sayana, Tiana was still feeling that something was off, especially the way her mother and the others were acting.

But she couldn’t put her finger on what she was missing here. Everything that happened seemed to make sense, especially after hearing Dorian’s explanation.

Feeling frustrated thinking about this, she suddenly heard a notification sound from her phone.

She squinted her eyes as she saw that the message was from Lucien, her perverted teacher.

She had Lucien added in her messaging app to ask doubts regarding the martial arts competition. His responses were barely quick at first, but he at least responded.

But for more than ten days, he had been ignoring her messages which she couldn’t tell if it was on purpose or not. Nobody had ever dared to ignore her messages for more than a minute, and yet this ordinary college P.T teacher thinks he can look down on her?

The only other person who didn’t respond to her messages was Dorian. Still, she could understand, considering he had lost his phone.

She immediately typed on her phone, asking him why he didn’t respond for so long.

“Oops, I lost my phone, sweetcheeks 😛 But I am here now ;)” – Lucien

Viktor, who was casually chatting with Brad, suddenly facepalmed, “Fuck!”

Brad leaned forward as he asked zealously, “What? Did some chick swipe you?”

“Eh? Swipe me? No, no. It’s nothing,” Viktor said with a sigh while hoping Tiana didn’t catch on to anything. He wasn’t paying much attention when Tiana asked him why he didn’t respond. He just typed the excuse that came to his mind first.

But just as he feared, Tiana’s eyes narrowed upon seeing this message that made her feel a subtle dejavu, “Why is everyone losing their phones these days? No…how could someone live without a phone for more than 10 days?” Tiana knew this was not the 1990s or even the 2000s. This was 2025 when phones were basically like oxygen to people, or at least to her.

But something suddenly struck her…How come these two guys lost their phones at the same time and got a new one again on the same day as well?

Could there really be such a weird coincidence?

“Why am I wasting my time thinking about these silly things…” Tiana couldn’t understand why she was getting bothered by her distant cousin and her teacher. But what baffled her more was that whenever she thought about one of them, she would think of the other one right away.

“Fiuhhh…” She shook her head as her eyes unconsciously landed on her portrait painting which Dorian gifted to her.

She didn’t know why but every time she looked at it, she felt as if she was looking at herself, but at the same time, the girl in the painting seemed to be hiding something.

She could stare at it for hours and not get bored, though she never considered herself a narcissist.

In Brad’s room, Viktor was about to leave when Brad said with a piqued look, “Viktor, that Lady Vanessa…she seems to be after you, and I think she might be tough to deal with. She almost killed me with her stare.”

Viktor chuckled as he asked, “I suppose you said something you shouldn’t have as usual.”

Brad had an aggrieved look as he said, “But not without good reason. I mean…any woman who entered this house was always yours, right? And she was more stunning than those plastic faces we see in magazines and movies. Unfortunately, she seemed very dangerous. I think you might have to be careful with this one.”

Viktor felt amused as he patted Brad’s shoulder, “Sheesh, you have no idea, but I have dealt with women more dangerous than her. But thanks for the heads up. It seems I have to deal with her anyway.”

Brad didn’t know why he felt satisfied hearing Viktor say that.

Viktor went back to his room and decided to try training the new ability he gained…the Soul of Infinity. He felt this couldn’t wait after hearing from Taya and Umilia about the trouble brewing in this world.

He went to his bathroom and made himself comfortable in the large jacuzzi as he closed his eyes while assuming a meditation pose.

‘Alright…Yannah said I have to focus on temporarily splitting my soul. A new body might come to existence, but the mind shall be the same and exist as one…’ Viktor mumbled to himself as he remembered the information he got after comprehending the Art of Ceaseless Bliss.

He grimaced as he felt a splitting headache and a heaviness slowly coming down on his head. But he endured it since he knew this was part of the process and focused on being at two places at the same time.

He felt as if his body was floating away from his body while, at the same time, he could still feel himself staying in the same position.

He opened his eyes and had his eyebrows raised when he saw another Viktor looking at him with the same expression as his. But what spooked him was that he couldn’t even tell which one of him was the real Viktor since his mind existed in both the bodies at the same time, allowing him to see, feel and hear what both the bodies were experiencing at the same time!
