《Keeping The Balance》Chapter Thirty-Nine – The Number One Singer – Task World Three (12)
Advertisement
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.

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.
