《Library Magic》Chapter Nine: Foreboding

"Is that one of them? Is he still alive?" My father asked while directing killing intent to the unconscious bloody male that I'm dragging towards them.
"I don't know. He was the one who used 【Lightning Explosion】 in the living room. I put him inside my domain before the magic exploded and healed him. Though, I think he will be unconscious for another two days." I told my father while looking at the aftermath of the one-sided battle.
I've improved my【Dominion: White City】 while I was practicing it at age 12. I can put people and things inside there and still move freely. The person who is locked up can still release mana to get out, he/she will be free when the capacity of mana inside the domain overflows. It's gonna be hard to do that, though, as I expanded it's capacity to over 50 times a normal humans mana.
"Hahaha. You always know what to do Yuki. It will be easier to get information about the attackers. I'll take him to the Necromancers Guild in Zariel so we can get the information. Then we will destroy them once we find out who the people behind this attack." My mother flashed a wicked grin.
"No, we shouldn't take this matter to people who aren't related. We don't know who our enemies are, so we need to keep this incident to ourselves. At least, until we know who we're dealing with." My father said while he signaled Raul to take the man away.
"Yes, we should do as father says, mother. We have a little to no information about what we're dealing with, and the Demon race should not be eliminated from the candidates of suspects."
"I assure you Yuki, the Demons are not one of the suspects for this crime against us. Nobody from the Demon race will attack a Devil because it is one of the rules that Death God Zenith imposed upon the Demon race." My mother while looking at me seriously clarified.

"Yes, a demon can't attack a Devil, but it isn't the case for another Devil. Do you remember what Meria Zenith tell us every time she comes here?" Argued my father.
"That's... She was warning us didn't she? There is no way that Meria is behind the attack!" My mother argued back and unconsciously started to release her magic essence.
"Calm down, Rena. I am not suspecting her, if she was the one who is behind the attack, then she wouldn't come here three times a week that year, and wouldn't still visit once a week. I'm just wondering how did she get such information."
Was the reason Meria was coming to our house this? Did she warn us that something like this was going to happen because she knew something? It looks like I need to talk to Meria once she gets here tomorrow.
End of Chapter 9
Authors Note: Sorry for the late chapter. This will be the last short chapter, sorry about that. I will be using word, so I can keep up the length of the chapters.

Tower of Somnus
When humanity first encountered alien life, we were judged and found wanting. The Galactic Consensus interviewed our leaders and subjected us to a battery of psychological tests to determine our progress as a society. They found us to be selfish, wasteful, impulsive, and boorish neighbors. Earth was blockaded and our collective encounter with our extrasolar neighbors rapidly faded from memory. All they left behind was a hypercomm relay and a handful of subscriptions to a massively multiplayer game that participants played in their sleep. The Consensus said that it would let us interact with our neighbors in a controlled setting. That it would teach us to be better members of the galactic community. The megacorporations that controlled Earth ignored the game until they learned that the powers earned from clearing dungeons were just as real when day broke. Magic, supernatural abilities and rumors exploded from nothing and a subscription to The Tower of Somnus became a status symbol. Katherine ‘Kat’ Debs doesn’t have much, but it could be worse. Born in an arcology, she was assigned a job in the megacorporation that raised her almost as soon as she could work. Despite the stability of her corporate life, she wanted something more. A chance to claw her way up the rigid social and financial ladder to make something of herself. A chance that wouldn’t come naturally to someone as familiar with dark alleyways and the glint of steel as she was with office work and corporate niceties.Book One is up on Kindle Unlimited as of 7/6/22 - https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B0B2X3L8H5

Urban Divinity
He slowly backs up until his back is against the wall like my own, "You're..my neighbor?" He points to my door and I nod my head quickly. He hums softly, "You been here a while?" He asks and I nod my head once again. He chuckles, "Ya head hurt?" I nod again but stop as he laughs softly, "I-I mean.. no.. it doesn't." My cheeks burn red as I look at my shoes, "I-It doesn't hurt.." I repeat like a dummy and listen to him clear his throat, "So do you actually live there or was it bull?" He nods to my door and I play with my fingers, "Yeah.. I do.." I feel his eyes watch me and I quickly stop. "You live with your boyfriend or do you like sweatshirts that reach your knees?" He teased, making a giggle slip past my lips. I look away to the floor again, "I-I like big shirts... a lot." I mumble softly and he nods his head, "Hol' up." He puts his box down before walking over to one of the grey bins. I nosily watch as he pulls out a big grey sweatshirt, "Here." He holds it out for me to take and I stare at him with wide eyes, "F-For me?" I hesitantly grab the soft fabric as he chuckles, "Nah for ya mom." I puff my cheeks a little and give him a small glare, "Hush." He leans back against the wall and shakes his head, "It's cold out. You should put it on." ____________________________She was a shy girl from the city with no spine and a list of problems so long that it could touch the floor and roll off her shoes.
