Destroying My Own Novel

Before Gunnar and the others left the eleventh floor, they spoke with Euros for a moment. They spoke on Mykel’s behalf and then left after they said that they would come back soon.

“Ah, the smell of fresh air! How I miss you so much,” Gunnar said as he took a deep breath and stretched his arms. “Who’s hungry? Let’s go and find something to eat!” he asked and looked at Rozan and Agnez.

“You pay,” Lillith said as she walked down from the tower.

Gunnar snickered and nodded as he rested his hands on his waist. “Fine by me! I will treat everyone to the all-you-can-eat restaurant!” he said with excitement. “You’re coming, boss?” he asked and looked at Mykel.

“No, I’m good, you guys can go without me,” Mykel said as he walked down the stairs and stared at the woman who stood at the side of the road in the distance.

“Let’s go, I’m starving,” Agnez said as she patted Gunnar’s left bicep.

All of them went into the cars and when they were leaving the Azazel tower area, they saw Mykel standing on the sidewalk with a woman in a black dress. Everyone was looking at him and they were curious about the woman she was talking to, Lillith used her skill to read the woman’s memories but then the woman stared back at her in the eye and Lillith immediately jolted from her seat.

“Hey! What are you doing?! Can you sit still?” Agnez asked and looked at Lillith laying down at the bottom of the car.

Lillith panicked and she looked a bit scared that made Agnez curious about her. “What happened? Did you see something?” she asked as she lifted Lillith and put her on the seat.

“I…” Lillith paused to gulp. “I tried to look at the woman’s minds and memories, but the moment she stared back at me, all I could see was flame and my whole body felt so hot as if I was being burned alive,” she answered as she looked at Agnez with fear written all over her face.

Agnez furrowed her forehead and immediately turned her head to look at the woman that spoke with Mykel but they both disappeared. She was so confused and tried to look around but she couldn’t find them anywhere near the road.

“I want a rematch!” Zherthlsh said as she looked down at Mykel.

“I’m starving, can we do it after I eat first?” Mykel answered as he looked up to look at Zherthlsh in the eyes.

Zherthlsh disguised herself in a human form with long pitch black curly hair and green eyes. She wore a dress with her left leg exposed up to her thigh and she wore quite high heels which made Mykel look small compared to her even though she was already slightly taller than Mykel.

“Eat?” Zherthlsh asked with her eyebrow raised.

“I have been on the eleventh floor for three days, I need to eat first,” Mykel replied as he walked past her but he noticed that Zherthlsh was following him. “What do you want?” he asked as he furrowed his forehead.

“It’s none of your business,” Zherthlsh answered as she stared back at him with a straight face.

Mykel entered the restaurant and sat down at the table. He sighed as he looked at the menu. “You can just say if you want to join me,” he said as he glanced at Zherthlsh sitting in front of him.

Zherthlsh looked at the menu and she flipped it over and over until she threw it on the floor. Everyone looked at her weirdly and Mykel looked so done with her behavior so he ignored all the gazes.

“Get me something to eat, make sure there’s meat in there and a lot of them!” Zherthlsh said as she crossed her arms and glared at Mykel.

“Who are you to tell me what to do?” Mykel stared back at Zherthlsh. “If you want to eat, pick that up and choose something on the menu, and find which one you want because I’m not here to babysit you,” he continued as he looked for something he wanted to eat.

Zherthlsh furrowed her forehead and then she grabbed the menu on the floor. She looked at the pictures on the menu and realized that all of them had meat.

“Okay, I know what I want,” Zherthlsh said as she closed the menu book.

“Raise your hand and look at the guy who stood over there,” Mykel replied.

Zherthlsh turned her head and raised her hand, and the waiter looked at her in the eyes. She didn’t like the way the waiter looked her in the eye and so she did the same thing to Lillith. The waiter suddenly screamed hysterically and it made everyone in the restaurant panic.

The waiter snapped back to reality after people were surrounding him while Zherthlsh was giggling mischievously. Mykel didn’t care about whatever she was doing and he called the other waiter to order the food.

“And for the madam?” The waiter asked.

“I want everything that has meat in it,” Zherthlsh said and it shocked the waiter.

“I-i see…” The waiter was speechless, he nodded and took the menu from the table then hurriedly left to the kitchen.

After Mykel was done eating his food, he paid for his own food and bought a bottle of wine. He didn’t bother to see the other side of the table because it wasn’t his business.

“Where are you going?” Zherthlsh asked while she was still eating her food.

“Smoke, outside,” Mykel answered straightforwardly.

Mykel was enjoying his smoking and suddenly the whole restaurant caught in flame. Everyone was running out as they scream hysterically and Mykel just stood on the other side of the road and kept smoking.

Zherthlsh came out of the restaurant so casually and crossed the road. “What a stupid human,” she said as she looked at the people running away.

“Why did you do that?” Mykel asked as he leaned on the wall.

“They charged me for something I ate, that’s stupid and they were all insisting me on paying so I burned the whole place down,” Zherthlsh answered.

Mykel regretted asking that to her and kept enjoying his smoke.

“Now that you are full, let’s have a rematch,” Zherthlsh said as she stood in front of Mykel.

“Here drink this first, you’re going to like it,” Mykel said as he tossed the wine to Zherthlsh.

“Hmm? What’s this?” Zherthlsh asked as she looked at the bottle.

“Just drink it and stop asking questions,” Mykel replied.

Zherthlsh popped the bottle and smelt it, she immediately raised her eyebrows and drank it. Her eyes were wide open and looked at the bottle while licking her lips. Mykel knew that the demons love wine since they loved the taste of meat and blood. He chose a specific wine with a strong metallic aftertaste so Zherthlsh would like it.

“It tastes a bit like blood but way a lot better!” Zherthlsh said with disbelief. “I want more of this!” she continued and drank the whole bottle immediately.

“Such a shame that you just burned the place down since they were the ones who had that drink,” Mykel said as he nodded up at the restaurant behind her where the firefighters were trying to put out the fire.

Zherthlsh turned around and looked at the restaurant, she then put the fire out with her power. Everyone was so confused and couldn’t believe what just happened but even though the fire was out, the building crumbled and collapsed immediately.

“Don’t worry, I know another place that sells that drink,” Mykel said as he flicked the cigarette. “Come, follow me,” he said as he walked past Zherthlsh.

“You said that you cleared the eleventh floor? How was it? Was it fun?” Zherthlsh asked as she walked next to Mykel.

“I don’t think I can have more fun after experiencing the battle that we had back there,” Mykel answered and everyone was looking at them as if they were a superstar or something.

“Hmm, fun for you, not for me,” Zherthlsh replied. “But that was indeed the hardest battle that I have ever had since forever,” she continued as she looked at the people that walked past her.

“Alright, we are here, you can buy the drink yourself from now on,” Mykel said as he stood in front of a liquor store.

“Can I pay with gold?” Zherthlsh asked as she grabbed a bar of gold out of nowhere.

“That should be enough to buy you all the wine in the store,” Mykel answered as he looked at how big the bar of gold was and it should be worth at least millions of Zeny.

Zherthlsh looked so excited and she immediately entered the store and bought all the wine. Mykel watched her put the wine in some kind of portal that she created like a purse. She looked so happy when she came out of the store.

“Now, shall we go for a rematch?” Mykel asked.

Zherthlsh smirked and immediately grabbed Mykel’s shoulders and pushed him into some kind of portal. Mykel looked around he was in the middle of nowhere and there was nothing but a vast field and sea surrounding him.

“Are we on an island?” Mykel asked as he looked at his surroundings. “Doesn’t matter, let’s get on with it,” he said as he removed his blazer and shirt while Zherthlsh turned herself into her original form.
