The Ancient Genes Chapter 204

'Sh*t!'
Max cursed when he recognised the face. The girl seemed a bit young. But he definitely realised this witch's face.
How could Max dare to forget her? This girl had almost got him killed back in the trial. Even though Max knew that he shouldn't judge people basing off on the trial, he still couldn't help it. His face turned ugly when he remembered getting beaten up and thrown out of the city into the dumpsters.
Max suddenly recalled a saying, 'Roxleys are the last person you want to mess with.'
The men of this noble house were arrogant and women were evil and sly.
This girl in front of him was Lora Roxley. The only daughter of the current leader of Roxley House.
'But, what is Lora doing here? She should either be in the capital or her hometown?'
Max frowned.
Why was this time bomb here?
When Lear spoke, Max could feel a few movements.
'One is two seats ahead, one is 3 seats toward the left, one is 5 seats ahead of me and another one is near the entrance.'
'A total of four guards.'
Max sighed. He could imagine Lear getting bashed if he tried anything funny.
'Let's just hope he recognises her and backs away. If not, It will be a fun show to watch…' A smile leaked on Max's face as he looked at the scene.
…
"E-Excuse me Lady, is this seat free…" Lear ended up stuttering on the very first word.
When the girl turned around, he felt his breathing stop. She was gorgeous.
"Yes, it is. But why do you ask? Seat if you have the ticket." Lora said as she shook her head.
Lear sat down beside her.
'First hurdle cleared!'
And yup, he failed to recognise her.

"Where are you going?" Lear asked casually. Not trying to look odd.
"Where this thing goes." Lora by now had already understood what was going on here. This wasn't her first time. Guys kept hitting on her like this. The only reason she didn't kick this guy out was because she felt that the guy seemed familiar.
"Ah.. its been a while….when is this thing going to move?" Lear muttered loud enough to let Lora hear it clearly as he pulled up his sleeves and looked at the time.
The watch on his hand was one of the most famous brands available and the model which he was wearing started from 100,000 zen at least.
Max couldn't help but smile as he saw the dude trying to flaunt his money in front of her. It wasn't like she lacked any.
Lora's eyes widened. She couldn't believe it. This was the first time someone was trying to flaunt his money in front of her. How dare this guy? Did he think she was a gold digger?
Lear looked at Lora's face and couldn't help but scream in his mind.
'It's working!'
Lora felt her brows twitch as she looked at the smile on Lear's face. She had been tolerating because she couldn't help but feel that the guy was familiar. But now, she was starting to feel irritated.
"You seem to be very rich?" Lora asked with a smile.
'I knew it!'
Lear cheered in his heart. He knew that girls were all about money.
"Well, I am not that bad…" Lear said with a smirk.
…
Max could clearly hear them. He heard each and every word clearly and felt a hard time controlling his laughter.
"Excuse me sir, this is the lady…"

At this moment, a staff member brought a middle aged lady towards Max. She was carrying an infant along with her.
Max got up and made a slight now as he asked, "Mam would you mind to take this seat for a bit...my friend is…'"
Max pointed towards Lear. The lady looked at Max who seemed very well mannered and smiled.
"It's good being young. Well, then I will take the seat here." The lady said and the staff left after nodding.
The lady took the seat beside Max.
Max had already informed the staff to bring the person who seemed to have reserved the seat which Lear had taken.
At this moment, the pilot made the announcement of their departure and the express car began to move.
"Aooaa.." Max looked at the little girl in the lady's arm who seemed to be looking towards him.
"It isn't very like her to be so welcoming to strangers…." The lady said in surprise.
"Hey cutie…" Max gently touched the little girl's cheek and the girl held onto Max's fingers.
Max couldn't help but lift the girl into his arms. It reminded her of his time with Lilly. She was cute like this little girl too.
Suddenly, Max's face froze as he felt a cold sensation on his legs.
As he looked down, he saw his shirt and the part of his thighs wet.
"Oh my…. I am so sorry….I didn't expect her to do that…" the lady said in shock.
"No, it's fine….kids do that...I understand…" Max waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Come here naughty little girl...I will have to change your pants now…" the lady pinched her daughter's nose before taking her off and going towards the washroom with a pack of diaper.
Max got up as well and moved towards the washroom. He had all his luggage in the spirit world. He just had to change into a new one.
Max went ahead before giving Lear a glance who was still talking to Lora with a grin on his face.
….
'Finally done!'
Max smiled.
But as he was about to get out, a voice entered his voice.
"I have installed the explosives. The control of Pilot's cockpit shout be taken by Wolf's team. No one will be left alive….if the Association doesn't give into our demands today…"
"We had enough of it….we will make the Association pay for what they have done to us..."
Max who had been sitting on the toilet seat couldn't help but sigh.
'Why does this keep happening around me?'

Dear Spellbook (Link to rewrite in blurb)
A rewrite of this story has been posted here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/49881/dear-spellbook-a-fantasy-time-loop-rewrite Live. Study. Repeat. Tal is a sorcerer in a world where they are killed on sight, traveling with a man charged with carrying out the task. Every night Tal must pretend to study his spellbook to maintain his disguise as a Wizard’s Apprentice. If his disguise slips and his charade is uncovered, it will be his death. Seeking answers to mysteries that arose after his parent’s murder, Tal must accept any allies, no matter the risks, to uncover his family’s secret. But when he wakes up one morning to find himself trapped repeating the same day, he has to overcome his challenges all on his own. This story is an adaptation of a D&D campaign I ran but never was able to complete. I tried to capture the feel of a table-top RPG session —tropes and humor— without relying on the mechanics. This is not a litRPG or gamelit story and no D&D mechanics or system appear in the game. It follows one member of an adventuring party as he deals with the problems with that arise from being an adventurer. Namely, getting roped into adventures. The story has a time loop element, but will eventually move past that. This story explores the magic systems, the history, and the lore of the world through the lens of Tal's entries in his Spellbook and interludes from other written works in the world. New entries on Mondays Credit to JackOfHearts for the cover.

Free Your Mind
A journey through the mind can be a mixture of the good, the bad, the pure, and the evil. Free Your Mind is a collection of poems and short stories that I've written over the years. As of now, this book is still in progress, but I've planned to release at least 25 to 30 chapters minimum for Free Your Mind. Hopefully you enjoy reading through the works already published for this book, and I hope you'll stick around for what's to come in the future. If you have any comments, ideas, critiques, etc. please let me know! I'm always open to what people have to say about my work. Free Your Mind is a way for me to dabble into releasing my writings for the public to read. And hopefully, if all goes decent with this book, I'll continue to upload different works alongside this. Note: Currently the cover work for Free Your Mind isn't mine. I plan to upload an original design once I've completed the chapters for this book.
