Advertisement
The next morning, Sin got out of cultivation at his normal time. Before getting the day started, Sin began working through the logs he had been putting off until now.

After going through his logs and status page, Sin began cooking breakfast ahead of time for Alannah and Samara. After their breakfast was set on plates. Sin then used a minor formation to trap the heat within, keeping the food both warm and still fresh. Sin wrote a note and left it in the middle of the various plates.
'Good morning my beautiful girls, I'm sorry not to be here when you wake up. Breakfast has been made, all you have to do is enjoy it. There is a lot I need to do during the day, I will also be working with all the chefs of our family to prepare for tomorrow's festival. Drop by the main kitchen hall for lunch and supper. Be safe and have a good day. -Papa'
Sin left his house and made his way down to the logistics department. Elder Maya was there with her wife overlooking the reports. Seeing as they were both head deep in reports, Sin knocked on the wall alerting them of his presence.
Maya and her wife quickly stood up and bowed to Sin. "Good morning Wolf King, sorry we have been going through the various reports and didn't notice you."
Sin waved his hand before speaking. "No need for the formalities when in private, thank you both for your work. When the both of you finish up, I want both of you to go back home relax and unwind. You have done enough work throughout the night, others will be here shortly to take over."
Elder Maya and her wife thanked Sin. "Thank you, we will finish the list of the reported dead, and their families and where they live."
"No rush, take your time. Thank you for your work overnight." Sin said as he sat down at a nearby table and began reading through other reports, problems, and concerns with his Mana. After an hour had passed, Adonis, Elder Rein and various others began pouring into the logistics department. As they were all enjoying their morning coffee, they had yet to take notice of Sins presence in the room.

Elder Maya dropped off the list of dead to Sin. "Here you are Sin, me and my wife will be taking our leave now."
Sin had been woken up from reading through various papers, taking the report Sin stood up from the table. "Thank you Maya, you and your wife go and get some much deserved time to relax."
Sin left the logistics department quietly so as not to cause a scene. Sin began making his rounds to the families of the deceased, and gave them compensation for their loved ones death. Midnight Reaper had followed the example Sin had set, this had created a much bigger united body within the clan. The families were saddened by their loss, and the compensation given was enough to let them live well. While this couldn't bring back the dead, it at least allowed Sin to take care of the families.
Sin began making his way to the main kitchen hall of the Wolf God Clan. When he entered there were 10,000 chefs running about preparing for tomorrow's festival. Sin gathered all the chefs present, asking their opinions on various dishes and their thoughts. Seeing as all of them were confident, Sin quickly went to the other kitchen halls to coordinate.
Sin returned to the main kitchen hall and began helping with the cooking, soon the morning passed over. Sin had been prepping for making lasagna, meatloaf, meat pie, and various other hearty dishes. During this time, Sin had made plates for both Alannah and Samara full to the brim with food.
Around 2 in the afternoon, Sin heard happiness and teasing in the kitchen staff's voice. This had signaled the arrival of Samara and Alannah. The girls brought a wave of joy and cheer wherever they went, they quickly ran over to Sin after seeing him hard at work.
"Papa we came for lunch!" they announced their arrival.
Sin smiled and passed over the premade plates of food. "Enjoy my girls, papa will be back later tonight."
Alannah and Samara cheered seeing the plates. Walking away, they stopped in mid stride and called out. "Papa don't forget your promise to teach us the art of assassination!"
Sin replied back. "I won't forget, you two better be prepared for it. I won't hold back when teaching the both of you."
With their papas confirmation, the girls left and enjoyed their lunch.
Soon the sun had fallen, after making his rounds to the other kitchen halls. Sin returned back home in hand with his girls. Samara and Alannah found a way to share their papas back together. Sin carried both of his girls back home, after bathing them and putting them to bed for the night. Sin returned to his room and began cultivating.
The night passed peacefully, Sin repeated the same as he did the day prior. Except this time he went straight to the kitchen hall, along his way he found a vast plot of land had been turned into a carnival. There were various snack booths, rides, mini games, stages built up. Sin could feel the excitement and cheer in the clan's atmosphere.
The children in the clan woke early, they were out running about and playing with each other. After making his way back into the kitchen hall, Sin was interrupted by the various other personnel inside.
"Wolf King thank you for your help yesterday, thanks to you we are way ahead of schedule. Without any disrespect, we ask that you leave the rest up to us. Enjoy the time with your daughters, go on some rides, and enjoy the day. I'm sure the clans people would love to see their Wolf King out and about, feasting and enjoying the activities with them as well."

Feeling the determination all the chefs had to 'kick' him out. Sin didn't make any fuss or muss about it. In fact, he actually felt relieved about being booted out. This would further give him time to spend with his girls, but considering it was still early in the morning. Sin began walking around the carnival area, looking to see if there was anywhere he could help with.
But just as how it was back in the kitchen hall, Sin had been shooed away and promised many times that things were under control. With nothing left to do, Sin returned back home until his girls woke up. Sitting cross legged in the living room, flower petals rushed out of Sins clothes. With no enemies or goal to kill, they just flitted about the room.
The Withering Sword Dance is an ability that attacks anything that moves within its area of effect. Sin was currently further practicing with it, using flower petals to move about within its area. After being able to reach a state of unity, it was quickly broken as the petals began raging against each other.
Sin calmed the flower petals, after a minute passed and they were on the floor. Sin flicked another petal out of his fingers into the air. Sin used the Sky essence, creating a small draft of wind that blew the petal about. The varied movement affected the other petals on the ground, but under Sins control they remained as they were. After the falling petal was just above the epicenter of the Withering Sword Dances area of effect. The sleeping petals could no longer be restrained.
Sin rinsed and repeated this process numerous times, the goal was simple. Teaching the Withering Sword Dance the difference between hostility, and no hostility. However, that would prove to be a much bigger project.
Two hours passed and Alannah and Samara woke up. They groggily came down the stairs, Alannah who was innately a mischievous child to begin with, immediately woke up after thinking about startling their papa. Alannah leaned over and whispered in Samara's ears.
"Shhhhh let's startle papa, he hasn't detected us yet."
Alannah and Samara quietly tip toed over to Sin. After they stood behind their papa for two minutes, confirming he was engrossed in his practice. They made their move.
Both Alannah and Samaras hands rushed out and patted their papas back.
"BOO!!!"
Both girls yelled loudly before they began laughing with each other.
The resting flower petals shot off the ground, floating and swaying in the air with murderous intent. Just as the flower petals had formed around Alannah and Samara.
Sin snapped out of his zone, acting with lightning speed appearing in front of Alannah and Samara. Bear hugging both his girls into his embrace, with his back facing the flower petals.
The petals pierced through Sins back, and left various deep gashes on his fleshly body.
Alannah and Samara reacted in fright.
"Papa we didn't mean to do anything bad. We were just having a little fun and playing a game."
Sin patted both his girl's hair. "Shhhh it is okay, not in one way did you two do anything wrong. And I should also know myself better, then to let myself get consumed into cultivation."
Sin stood up and walked away a couple feet, then turned his back to Alannah and Samara. Activating the Rebirth essence, all the wounds on his body began healing and sealing themselves up.
After turning around Sin said again.
"See? Not a problem at all, now what do you say we have some breakfast together. Then we can go out, play a bunch of games, and go on many rides."
Alannah and Samara were reinvigorated, seeing their papa is okay, and hearing the two key words. The two girls ran to the kitchen, and brought their breakfast plate to the dining room table. Quickly devouring all the food in less than seven minutes. Both girls ran upstairs to get dressed and brush their teeth.
"Papa you get ready too! We will only be a couple of minutes." Alannah and Samara called from upstairs.
Hearing the bosses commands, Sin went upstairs, changed into a clean pair of clothes and freshened up.
Alannah and Samara came bursting out of their room. Running down the stairs yelling out.
"Papa we're ready to go and play!"
Making his way downstairs, Sin held his girls hands as they pulled him out the door. After walking for thirty minutes, they heard the booming of loud music. Screams of thrill, and hearty laughter.
Sin took this time to explain to his daughters.
"Alannah, Samara you must remember to line up for the rides, and the games you want to play and go on. No line cutting is allowed, even if the people there offer and allow you to do so."
Hearing their papas words, it went in one ear and out the other.
"Yes papa we know. No line cutting, no favoritism."
Hearing their half hearted answer with annoyance. Sin smiled and said.
"It's good that you know, now let the day of fun begin!"
While walking through carnival, Sin saw various rides with different names, but had the same concept to the ones he remembered.
There was the Gravitron 3000, The Polar Express, Drop Zone, Alice In Wonderland Tea Cups, Tilt-A-Whirl, The Ring Of Fire, Pirate Ship, 1001 Nights, Roller Coasters, The Haunted House, various other rides and attractions.
Feeling Alannahs and Samaras rising excitement, Sin couldn't help but also feel like a kid inside. A lot of things such as fairs, carnivals and concerts, Sin didn't get the chance to experience in his life on Earth.
Soon Sin had been dragged onto many rides, his girls were fearless. After going on various rides like the Gravitron, Polar Express, Teacups they were still roaring to go.
"Papa more rides! More spins, more twirls!" The girls called out in excitement while pulling Sin along with them.
"Careful girls, you may want to take a break from the heavy motion rides. Your stomachs will start feeling unwell!"
"Stop making excuses because you can't keep up with us old man!" Samara shouted while turning back around and sticking her tongue out at Sin.
Sin became shocked after hearing what Samara had to say. He repeated to himself. "Old man!? I'll show you this old man has a stomach made out of iron!"
Sin spent the next three hours waiting in lines and going on various rides. Just like he had said, soon Alannah and Samara began feeling unwell and sat on a bench side by side.
"Papa we're not feeling so good." Both girls said with their heads down. Sin rubbed their stomachs injecting his Rebirth essence into both girls. The uneasy feeling they felt disappeared shortly after.
"Papa we're hungry!" The girls exclaimed while their bellies rumbled.
Sin walked around to various food booths that caught his girls eyes. Soon before he knew it, there were six trays full to the brim with food being carried by his Mana. After finding an empty bench, Sin sat down with his girls and had lunch together.
After they were done, a group of girls ran up to Alannah and Samara in excitement.
"Alannah, Samara you have to come and play with us!"
Alannah and Samara both smiled and replied back. "We are with our papa, we will play with you later."
Over hearing all of this, Sin asked to be reassured. "Are the both of you sure, you don't want to go and play with your friends?"
Alannah and Samara nodded their heads vigorously. "We only want to spend time with our papa!"
The other children who came over ran off disappointed.
"You said it yourself papa, you only have a limited time to be here. To the both of us, that time is more important and precious than anything else is!"
Hearing this, Sin felt bad but there was truly nothing he could do about the limited time right now.
After throwing the garbage out in bins, Sin came back and said.
"Well let's make the most of our time and go play some games."
Sin went bobbing for apples, popping balloons with darts and various other games. Despite having the lack of eyesight, Sin had shown his girls he was no pushover. Simple games like that were of no problem, by the time they were done playing various games. Sin had various bags full to the brim with plushies, toys and various candy.
Alannah and Samara were skipping about, praising their papa for the haul they have earned. After having their fill of rides and games, the girls decided they wanted to watch the various performances.
After watching many performances, night finally came. The rides, game booths, snack booths were all lit up with various lights. Creating a Christmas like scene.
hundreds of thousands of long tables were spread out, all 90,000,000 bodies of the Wolf God Clan, Phoenix Heart Clan and Vermilion Bird Clan participated in the festivities and supper.
Sin walked up the stage, with a glass cup in one hand, and a spoon in the other. Sin lightly tapped the cup, the sound echoed throughout the venue getting everybody's attention.
"Listen up well everyone. Thank you to each individual, and family who has contributed to our clan's smooth unity. On behalf of our ancestors, I'd like to raise a toast to each and everyone one of you."
Downing his cup of alcohol, Sin continued.
"I'm aware many of you caught the underlying meaning of the notifications from the Dungeon Beast Raids successfully being cleared. I will come out and be fully honest with you all. Before the Rage God and his army came to Desolate Kingdom two and a half years ago. I acquired something called a Soulless Body Formation. The Wolf King you've been serving under for the last two and a half years, is the result of me splitting a part of my soul, giving it a physical body."
"That part of me that has turned from a personality, into a part of my very soul upon my arrival to this world. He, as you have heard many times, is called Midnight Reaper. I am also here on borrowed time, after falling into the void. I have arrived at a new world, and been saved by a clan of Fairies. I have six days time left, before I switch places with Midnight Reaper again and return."
"I can assure you all, we are able to switch places with each other whenever we want. That is until I make it back to the Scion Milkyway, there will be no more unforeseen hassles like this one."
"Well I know I've rambled on long enough, and I'm sure everyone has worked up quite the appetite. Please everyone begin eating, enjoy the food and the rest of the festival."
Sin got off the stage, and made his way back to sitting beside his girls. Sin began indulging himself in the food.
Despite the eyes with unconcealed worry in them, Sin had a charm about him that could ease the minds and worries of others around him. Many had come to Sin asking for more clarification, with utmost patience Sin answered everything truthfully. Which in turn happened to lessen the worries of others, but it had also planted the seeds of ambition in some hearts.
After eating their fill, Sin took his girls to the spot he and Merala previously watched fireworks. Sin spoke out what he felt.
"Girls, every night I spent away in a new world. Even without my vision, I stared up into the night sky. A vast strip of never ending void separates us, but I could feel your gazes and longing. I can no longer see, but I can sense many things I never could before."
"When you look up at the starry night sky, when you begin missing me or your mom. If you look hard enough, you will eventually find us in the stars. Looking down seeing our beautiful little girls from high above. We may not be here in person, but the sky is where our eyes see your amazing growth."
Sin and his girls sat in silence, enjoying each other's company and love. After thirty minutes passed, fireworks began shooting up into the sky, exploding into various colours, formations, symbols.
"Stand up with me girls, I want to teach you something today. However, what I am about to teach you, and what kind of scenery you have at that time is not important. What is most important at that time, is your emotions and what your heart says."
After getting up, Sin used Mystic Sorcery and shrunk himself to the perfect height of Alannah and Samara.
"Samara don't get frightened, both you and Alannah will get the same thing."
Sin came to the front of Samara, with his left hand he held Samaras with his and stretched their arms out. Then his right hand wrapped around her waist. Sin guided his Mana to bring her right arm, wrapping it around his neck.
Then, Sin began controlling both his and Samaras movements as they began dancing.
"There is no man or woman in this world great enough for my daughters. However, if one day you or Alannah can dance with another man or woman besides me like this. If your emotions are full of love, and if your heart says he or she is the one that will one day be your husband or wife. Then I will have to accept them as being good enough for you."
After dancing, and teaching Samara for an hour underneath the fireworks. Sin repeated the exact same process with Alannah. The fireworks eventually came to an end. But their joy had stopped time around them.
After teaching both his daughters the dance, Sin sat down against a nearby tree and the girls snuggled into their papas embrace. Sin began combing Alannahs and Samaras hair lovingly with his hands, the girls eyes grew heavy as they soon fell asleep underneath the starry night sky.

Where did I wake up?
A pretty standard story about a man that gets transferred to a new world, and gains a system to help him survive. This is pretty close to the first draft of this story, so there will be grammar mistakes until I get down to fixing them. Synopsis, genre and tags will also change as I get more writing done. I will try to release two to three short chapters a week. I don't own the cover image; it is just something I found online.
