Hol woke up with a weight on his chest. He went to move but he quickly stopped when he felt a sharp pain coming from his back. It took him a while to understand how that happened and once he remembered the events from yesterday he got really guilty and embarrassed.
‘Fucking hell… Did I seriously do that to Emery? I wanted it to be special and yet I went all crazy on him… I really hope that his ass is okay since I kind of went a bit rough.’ Hol let out a small groan as he rubbed his face and went to sit up again but more carefully this time. Emery let noise when he did this and Hol rub at their back.
“Hey… Wake up. I got to use the toilet.” Hol really did have to use the toilet also he wanted to check out why his back was hurting him. Emery mumbled something before moving off of his chest. Hol kiss their forehead gently before heading to the bathroom attached to this bedroom.
When Hol got in the bathroom he first went to the bathroom then checked in the mirror to see why his back was hurting so much. When Hol saw the reason he was trying really hard to remember the detail of his first time with Emery since there were so many scratch marks on his back. Some of them were still bleeding…
‘Jesus… How rough was I with Emery? I really should get some medicine for them and maybe some for me as well…’ Hol touched one of the scratch marks and tried not to flinch in pain. He may need to take an easy day today and probably make it a day off for his employee…
“Hey, Starie. What happened to those two annoying pieces of shit? I don’t really remember too much from yesterday. I really want to fuck their shit up for messing with me. I was going to be a little nice but I am just going to be a cold-hearted asshole to them.” Hol walked back to the bedroom as he talked to Starie in his head. He was still feeling annoyed with what happened yesterday and he wanted to take this irritation out on them.

“Well, you see, host… Emery did something to them and now they are somewhere else. They aren’t in this country anymore and it seems like people are working to spread dirty water on both of their reputations.” When Starie told Hol this he had a confused look on his face and looked at the sleeping Emery. They had drool coming from their mouth and their hair was all over the place.
“You are joking, yes? How could Emery do something to them? Isn’t he from a normal background? Are you sure they didn’t piss off someone else who is friends with Emery?” Hol went to lay in the bed with Emery and put them closer to him. He was rubbing their back but he was looking at them with a rather hard stare.
“Don’t worry host! Your cute system will figure out about this and give you all the information right away! Just give me a few minutes… or hours…” Hol managed to catch the mumble that Starie made and couldn’t help but chuckle at that. Hol went back to focusing on Emery and he couldn’t help but wonder if there was more to them.
‘Hmm… Maybe some information wasn’t told to me by mistake. I guess something like this can happen sometimes so I shouldn’t be bothered about it. It does make me a bit happy knowing my precious lover can protect himself if I am not there for him. Such a good lover~’ Hol could help but nuzzle his nose into Emery's hair with a huge smile on his face. He really didn’t mind the fact there was some stuff he didn’t know about his lover. It is always nice finding out new stuff about someone you love…
“I really love you… Even though you don’t remember me and may never remember me, I can’t help but feel so lucky that I found someone like you. I hope that we can continue to fall in love with each other no matter what world I end up in next… I just can’t give up this love.” Hol whispers that to himself as he kisses Emery again on their face. He didn’t know why his lover could follow him into different worlds but one day he may find the answer. He was just happy being able to hold and kiss them. That is the most important thing to him after all.

‘...We will always be together. Nothing will break us apart again, I promise. Just wait a bit longer until I am better… We will be a family again, I swear on my life and love for you.’ Emery holds onto Hol with a tight grip and slowly hid his face into their hip. Many emotions were going through his head but they slowly ended up disappearing until finally… He no longer remembers what he was thinking about.
It was like he was in a weird state of being awake and being asleep. In the end, he lost to the sleepy feeling and once again fell asleep. His heart felt nice and painful at the same time. It was a weird feeling that Emery couldn’t understand. But he knew he just wanted to be with Rafael as long as he could. That was the most important thing to him. Nothing matters to him at all…
Just a bit more until everything is okay again... Hol just has to keep going through these worlds until he is finally able to wake up from this long dream of his. He doesn't like putting Starie through this but it has to be done. It will be okay soon. This only happened because of him after all... Only if he was smarter and was able to protect his precious lover and his sweet child.

It was then did John use a dark magic that did he got them out of that situation. But in exchange for the princess's safety, John Sarvod was exiled from A'vetheas for using 'demon magic'.

Book 2 description: Having found a life for himself outside of A'vetheas, a family, enrolled to a good school, and a potential romantic partner, John Sarvod continues on with his life the best he could, carrying himself forward, until... He messes it all up again. This time, however, it isn't because of his magic. It was by his own demerit. What is the cause of despair? Find out in Consignor Book 2. Old description (Without spoiler) John Sarvod, user of the most powerful healing spell [Heal], the rare ability to heal and recover all injuries, is the only human that lives in the Elven Tribe. Though he was gifted with [Heal], he could not cast any magic other than his one and only [Heal]. Aside from his current training to become a royal scribe, he is known to all elves as the ‘Healer of A’vetheas’ and had gained a certain amount of respect from them due to how much he works. But life for him in the Elven Tribe, A’vetheas wasn't never always like this. Because he was human, and that the Elves have isolated themselves from the outside world, his presence initially was not welcomed by the elves that thinks highly of him today. It was all thanks to the Elven Queen who brought him in, and the Elven Princess, Raina Valindra Eridi, that he could reach this day. But things changed when the Raina that he so adored used the teleportation device for a small date with him, where they met with danger that the [Heal] that he relied all this time could not save him from… In his desperate attempts to save Raina, John ended up committing a taboo of the elves. As for his punishment when he returned to A’vetheas? That was just the beginning of him, continuing the path that he had inevitably taken prior to the life he had before he lived in A’vetheas. This is a story of a not too average person end up becoming something that he could have never imagined. A monster? A demon? A god? Only time will tell. It is just a matter of time that John Sarvod would embrace his true self. Content Warning because I want to have flexibility, and maybe it gets overwhelming at times. I have a backlog already, this story won't be dropped. Edited: romance tag to action tag, story has more or less of both, but yeah. There's slice of life tagged in because my story progresses not too quickly (by my opinion) I like to take things slow, I suppose. :3
