Nameless King

Wain and Eva walked out of Green Hat. Wain was still silent; he hadn't said a word since then. At the same time, Eva waited patiently for Wain to process what had happened as she realized that it was something very important to him that had appeared at the beginning of his path.

"Ah... Looks like we've been here long enough." Wain muttered as he looked up.

They arrived in the city at sunset, but it was already night and the streets of the city were lit by the lights in the tall lanterns. In the sky was the biggest lamp, the massive blue moon that was especially bright tonight.

"Yeah. Where do we go next?" Eva asked as she took Wain's hand and snuggled up to him.

Wain didn't answer, he just continued to stare at the moon and said, "Thank you. In the pursuit of power, I completely forgot that I needed to deal with my own problems first."

Eva smiled as she murmured, "There's a coffee shop near here that makes incredible cheesecakes, do you mind?"

"Sure." Wain nodded as he hugged Eva as though her most precious treasure.

'Damn... I'm usually the one who gets listened to, not the other way around, but it was definitely worth it.' Eva inwardly muttered while a wide smile spread across her face.

...

After a while, Wain and Eva were sitting at a small round table with two glasses of coffee and two slices of perfect cheesecake.

"I'm so glad there are so many places open around the clock. It's very convenient, isn't it?" Eva asked as she took a slice of cheesecake with her spoon.

"Yeah. Honestly, it's unbelievable... I had a deadly fight recently and now I'm here drinking coffee, it's weird, but it's nice to have a place in this world where you can relax, just like before." Wain muttered while drinking his coffee.

"Gisle has a talent for finding the right people, they do all the grunt work for him and turn cities into places where you want to live." Eva said with a slight smile on her face.

"Hmm? Why did you decide to mention that?" Wain asked as he raised an eyebrow.

"Well, this town is run by Vineta, she's in charge here, and as her assistants put all her energy into developing Arkadale. Since this is my hometown I have sometimes offered to help and then I realized that thanks to people like this many people are starting to enjoy their new life, me included..." Eva uttered while swinging her spoon from side to side with a thoughtful look.

'Right... For her, the apocalypse was a real tragedy, and she's not the only one.' Wain inwardly muttered as he looked at the people that despite everything that had happened kept smiling, 'Shit... Now I feel like a piece of shit. I have to pull myself together right away.'

...

For the next few hours, Wain and Eva walked around the city at night, chatting and visiting various places to relax. Eventually, they went to a hill near Arkadale to watch the night sky in silence.

"Wain, what are you planning next?" Eva asked as she rested her head on his shoulder.

"Hmm? The same thing I'm doing now. I have a lot of things ahead of me that need to be accomplished, and I need to get stronger to know the answers to a lot of questions." Wain said while looking up at the starry sky.

"Is that all you need strength for?" Eva muttered in a quiet voice.

"Well, maybe now I need the power to protect those I care about, but until I uncover all the secrets that surround me, I won't be able to rest." Wain said with a serious look.

"Sure, but then what? I mean... What are you going to do when you reach the Fifth Chronicle and know all the answers?" Eva asked as she pressed herself harder against him.

"Hmm... I don't know, if there's no more reason to fight, I'll probably take a leave of absence, but it's too early to tell. Do you have any suggestions?" Wain said as he turned to Eva.

Eva's eyes widened as she turned away as if she were trying to hide something from Wain.

'What kind of reaction is that? Did I say something wrong?" Wain muttered inwardly while in confusion.

...

"In a couple of hours the night will be over, will we continue to sit here or will we visit some other places?" Wain asked as he looked at the cities, "I have to go somewhere tomorrow with Gisle, so we don't have much time left."

"Huh, we just met, but you're already running away from me? Don't you love me?" Eva said with a slight smile on her face.

"Well, it's not my fault." Wain shrugged as he waved his hand, "What shall we do?"

Eva did not answer instantly as she stood in front of Wain, leaned over, and her eyes changed. She looked at Wain as though a hawk were staring at its prey.

She grabbed his chin as her nails dug into his skin and said, "I'm really glad we had this nice talk, but I haven't had sex in a hell of a long time, I'm a faithful woman, you know? Don't you want to fuck me?!"

"Huh, of course, I am." Wain smirked as his hands turned into a blur.

He lifted Eva, looked forward, and asked, "Shall we try the bed in my house?"

Whoooooosh.

Wain's hair glowed, turning golden, but suddenly Eva stopped him.

"I have a better option." Eva smiled in a devious manner before waving her hand.

A space gap appeared next to them, which gradually turned into boundless darkness with only one way out.

Ahead was a high gate, the left side of which was covered in a thick layer of ash that as though snowflakes were flying apart. The right side was dark and bloody as scarlet streams like veins were flowing down and slowly heading toward their mistress.
