Damien's pov:
I took the right side while Elijah went to the other side. I looked around at every single corner. This house was really big. I found a way to go to the backyard.
"Fucking leave me!"
It was her. She must be here.
"Not yet, you fucking bitch!"
That was a male voice. I frantically looked around and when my eyes landed on them, I saw red.
I don't fucking believe him. He was trying to kiss me. He pinned me against the wall, my back hitting the hard surface hard. He put all his pressure on my arm as he press me onto the wall. I can felt that bruising later.
I was trying to knee him but he was smart enough to keep his legs closed tightly.
"Fucking leave me!" At this point, I don't care if I was shouting.
"Not yet, you fucking bitch." He hissed and he leaned toward my neck. I try to free my arms but he only tightened his grip, his nails digging in my skin.
Suddenly, I felt all the pressure taken away from me. I opened my eyes and I saw Damien on top of Luke. I didn't even realise when I closed my eyes.
Damien wasn't going easy. He kept punching Luke till he started to bleed. His eyes were closed, his cheeks bruised and his nose was bleeding. Luke wasn't even trying to protect himself since he was too weak. I walked to Damien and called him.
"Damien, let him," I said but he ignored me. I need to stop him before he kills him.
"Damien, please," I said louder and he stopped. He stepped away from Luke and glared at him.
"Damien," I said again and he looked at me. He didn't say anything instead he walked to me and grabbed my hand gently in his. He walked to the backyard and I followed him.

"Where are we going?" I asked, looking around.
"A place where we can talk." He said firmly.
We reached a place which was really beautiful. There were some lights on the side that lightened this place.
"Is your phone with you?" Damien asked as we stopped walking.
"Yeah," I replied.
"Text Elijah and tell him that you are with me. He was looking for you." Damien told me and I nodded. I took my phone and texted him.
I felt Damien's hand on my back. I looked at him and he was looking at my arm, his jaw clenched.
"You have red finger marks around your arms. And it's bleeding where he scratches you with his nails." He said, dangerously calm. I could tell he was holding himself from going back to him and beat him again.
He bought his fingers to the mark and press on it, making me hissed in pain. The area was still sore. He immediately pulls his hand away and clenched his fist.
"I'm okay," I said, trying to calm him down. He shakes his head no and reached out to unbutton his suit. He removed his suit and wrapped it around my shoulders.
"Sit down." He said guiding to the seat. I sat down and he sat beside me.
"I'm sorry I didn't take your calls. I was in a meeting and I didn't call you back because I knew I would see you here. I should have called you." He sighed and I frowned.
"Damien, I understand. You were busy and you don't have to apologize for that." I said, looking at him. He wasn't looking at me through.
"What did you want to talk about?" He asked glancing at me. I reached out to grab his hand and intertwined our fingers.

"I wanted to tell you that Luke came to the office and that he asked me about the bodyguard," I said and his head snaps to me.
"He noticed the bodyguard?" He asked and I nodded.
"Even I'm confused about how he noticed him. Like the bodyguard wasn't even wearing his suit." I said and he nodded looking at the ground.
"Did he say anything else? What did you reply?" He asked.
"I lied to him, I told him that I don't know what he was talking about." I said, "I told him that maybe the bodyguard wasn't a bodyguard and he was just a normal person having some coffee."
"You did great. I don't know how he recognised the bodyguard but I'll find out." Damien promised.
"When I came here, I was looking for the bodyguard but I couldn't find him. I was going to talk to him and tell him to stay hidden. Luke already know about him." I said and he looked at me.
"I told him not to come because I was coming here. I thought I would be able to protect you." He said making me frown.
"You thought? Damien, you protect me. He could have done worst but you stop him." I pointed out but he didn't reply.
I felt my phone vibrated and I grabbed it.
Dad was pissed? What happened now?
His reply was instant.
"Is everything alright?" Damien asked and I looked up at him.
"No, dad is pissed and he wants to go home. Apparently, Mr Jones did some moves on mom and dad isn't happy." I explained and he chuckled darkly.
"Like father, like son." He said standing up. I stood up and was about to remove the suit when his hand stopped me.
"Don't remove it, let it on. The marks are visible, and your parents will be worried about what happened to you."

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)
