《The Devil's Bride》Sensitive
Advertisement
I was interrupted with the shrill and angry voice from non-other than Synn himself. It was as early as eight o'clock in the morning and his voice already was making me wake up.
I was a little surprised that I would be able to go back to sleep after early this morning. I didn't think it would have been possible.
I rub my eyes with the back of my index finger, my eyes fixing on Synn's back form immediately. He was dressed in a black shirt, his sleeve rolled up to show the delicate swirl of black ink on his arm down to his knuckles. He was always beautiful in whatever he wore which wasn't fair for all other humans. Immortals were without a doubt made to be attractive and beautiful. But Synn's beauty was sin itself.
I see the innocent cellphone gripped tightly in his hard fist, pressed to his left ear. He was typing fast on his laptop while receiving a heated call. The way his inked fingers danced on the black keyboard was interesting and surreal to watch.
I immediately spring out of the bed with haste and dash into the bathroom. I had a feeling that today was going to be a great day. I press open the toothpaste from the cabinet, leaking out the green toothpaste on the bristle of my brush.
My eyes were glowing with an unnatural glow today. I looked like a happy girl coming back home from a wonderful holiday. Already done with brushing my teeth and gaggling with mouthwash, I stroll to the toilet to ease my bladder. I bend in a squat position positioning my lower back on top of the toilet. Peeling my pink lacy underwear, I place it around my knees and quickly do my thing before wearing back my underwear.
I quickly tie my hair into a bun and rush into the shower.
After scouring and towelling, I open the cabinet and fish out my brush and comb with some hair supplies. I quickly close the cabinet and proceeded to brush my hair while it was still wet.

I throw an open t-shirt on my body and a little short over my leg matching the outfit with green socks.
I bit my lips taking a glance at myself in full view. Not the best matching outfit but who cares?
Synn does.
I shake my head at my own senseless conjecture. He wouldn't even glance at me caring if what I wear was to his taste. I open the door to the bathroom, going outside into the room.
When I arrive, the stillness saturated the room. Synn was out. I quickly undo my hair from the quick bun I'd put it in when I was in the bathroom. I brush out my long hair, letting it fall to my back and onto my shoulders. I play a little with my baby curl by coating the edges with the black gel standing on the table. I'd seen Abriana do this to her hair before so I decided to try it with mine.
I take out a used toothbrush of mine. I throw open the lid of the black gel, dipping down the brush into the muddy gel. I scoop a bit on the quill of the brush. Brushing out the annoying curl that was rested gracefully on my edges, I take the brush filled with gel and create a small curve pattern to the back of my hair. This was harder than I thought but I try again by scooping a small amount of black gel on the brush and style it regressive. Smiling, I appreciate the small exquisite skill on my hair. The gel was washed well on my edges. The bright curve was neat on my head, with no baby curls falling on my face.
I quickly lock the gel bottle, positioning it back on the stand. Jogging down the stairs, I made my way to the kitchen.
"Good morning," I say catching the gaze of both Amelia and Anna in the kitchen. They swat their head to face me, a smile on their faces.
"Good morning. You look happy today." Amelia says turning to her side. I think my face was like an open book. People would know when I'm happy or not.

"Not after I woke up by noises." I roll my eyes sitting down on the small footstool. There was a small middle counter placed in the middle of the kitchen. The kitchen was big with coffee-coloured wooden cupboards surrounding the place. Once you enter the kitchen, there was always a calming and relaxing smell to it. It couldn't just be explained.
"Smooth," Anna smirks. She was one of those teasing people who finds pleasure in doing so. I take the warm cup to my lips, pressing it slightly to take down the hot cocoa beverage. I was served with garlic bread and hot tea. A warm combination for the cold.
"You know, I hate waking up to a bad morning." Anna starts cleaning the plain cover of the stand with a clean gray dishrag.
I smile. She was right because I was sure she wasn't the only one who had thought of the idea.
"Oh don't say that! There is nothing like a bad morning." Amelia sush. I smile as I bit out of my garlic bread, the thick flour softening on my taste buds.
"I like your edges." Anna comments. I thank her, putting the empty cup and white saucer into the sink. I noticed the weather had changed a bit, growing cold.
I walk to the couch in the sitting room, folding my legs under my thigh. I was going to settle for a nice comedy movie and maybe try to make my morning romantic.
I grab the black remote from the intermediate table and turn on the black screen. The black screen immediately lights up with bright colours, the movie starts.
My skin was exposed to the cool air around me as I flick through the channels searching for my taste in film. Once I arrive at the one that looks like my taste, I let it on.
"I noticed you're getting a little fatter." I hear Synn's voice rant from the stairs making me turn my head to stare at him. His hands were dug into his black pockets. I look down at my body, examining myself.
"I'm not fat, to begin with." I start by saying taking his words offensive. I wasn't even fat and even though I was, it wasn't a crime.
I see him bring his tongue out to wet his pink lips. "Sure." He smirks. I feel my cheeks hit up, turning my body back to face the screen. He liked teasing a lot which I never noticed. It only meant that behind that cold and vicious Synn was a Synn with humour.
He strolls into the sitting room and takes a seat next to me. His legs hit mine in purpose, his hands thrown to the back of the couch.
"Stop saying I'm fat!" I grumble under my breath. I see a furtive smile rise up to his face. "Because you are."
"I'm not."
"Are."
"Not."
"Are."
"Not."
"Are"
"Not"
"Thick thighs." He blurts out. I bit my cheeks in my mouth, feeling my face heat up. How I wish I knew he was going to say that. I still refused to believe his unreal lies. I only had toned chubby cheeks and thick thighs. My butt was...uh big and perky and I had a lot of flesh on my chest
"Got nothing to say, huh?" He taunts bringing his hands to trace his arm. I huff in defeat and went along with watching my previous show. However, when I still feel his eyes staring at me, I'd had enough.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" I question apprehensively. Was he judging me by looking?
"I have the right to." His voice comes out defying. I bit my lips, looking down immediately at my hands. I continue watching the movie play on the TV while Synn spends his morning gazing at me with a sly smirk.

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.)
