Chapter 40

Dawn Scarlett





"You are special, Dawn Scarlett" he stated which made me let out a fake chuckle. Special? Why am I special? What are even the criteria for being considered as someone special? Like seriously, not once do I view myself as a person different from the others - oh well, I am really different from the people in my previous life. I am way different from them because of a lot of things: one of the reasons is my family. My family can really be the exact definition of people who likes to take advantage of everything and make sure that everything will surely be in their favor. My family is also the perfect example of being greedy and because of that greed they can no longer be contented with what they have right before their eyes and they keep on asking for more despite the fact that they can no longer handle it - that I can no longer handle all their whims.



Everything about my past life is really pretty much traumatizing - everything about it is traumatizing honestly, the fact that I was even killed by my own family is the worst part of it all. And for some reason, I too cannot process up until this point what happened to me. I am even lucky that I haven't actually developed major trauma that resulted in me having major trust issues as well. And that should really be a good thing I suppose. It is something that I should really be proud of in one way or another than even if I completely experienced quite a hellish life before I was able to keep my shits together in this present life that I have now - but O am also not saying that this life has no bad things - what I am saying is it is actually pretty much bearable.



Another thing is the fact that other people of the same age as me are already getting married to the one that they love - their soulmates or if, not they are extremely happy with their career. And of course, I am neither of the two. I am not married and because of that my family is pushing me to go on blind dates to find a prospective 'rich' fiance and of course, a future husband. In this world I am in, it could be best described as 'political marriages' - marriages that are purely for the benefits and not for the affection. Also, although it makes me happy that I am able to save a lot of people because of my skill - it is completely different from being happy with the path that I took because just like I have said - I want to become a lawyer but then because of my family's whims then I decided to give up on that whim and fulfilled their wishes.



The difference between working because of your passion and dream job and from working a job that you really do not want in the first place is quite huge and there is really no feeling of satisfaction every after your work shift.



"Will you actually me if I told you that we the fourteen gods of this world have already been watching over you the moment that you've been born?" Fourteen suddenly said which instantly made me frown. The fourteen gods of this world are what? Is he even f-cking serious about what he just said because honestly, that would be too impossible to happen like what the hell? But then again, I do not want to become a hypocrite about it but indeed, there is a high probability rate that they have indeed been watching over me since they were to instantly hear my pleas about reliving my life and they were also able to instantly transmigrate me to this new world - completely different from the world that I came from.



But then again, what is unbelievable is when Fourteen said that they are watching me the moment that I was born - I am not going to lie but it actually creeps the hell out of me, it makes me want to think that my future was really planned from the start - that everything that happened to me is bound to happen and that is for me to be able to die and later transmigrate to this world. I do not really want to overthink things but it is entirely possible knowing that they are branded as the gods - and there are not only two of them but there are fourteen gods in total!



"I am not really supposed to reveal this information this early but this is only for you to be able to calm down and not overthink things. Basically, this is a reassurance that whatever your decision will be in this world - the gods will always have your back because we chose you" he said again and I was about to say something on what the hell is he actually talking about that he started to get a little bit sentimental when suddenly I just felt my eyelids getting heavy and before I knew it - everything turned black.

Yuki (Dawn Scarlett's Familiar)



"Master!" I exclaimed right when I noticed that my first-ever master, Dawn Scarlett lost her consciousness. I immediately ran towards her in order to prevent her body from actually hitting the floor and right when I am already holding her in my arms I then glared at the man standing in the middle of her room who claims to be one of the gods and is addressed by my master as Fourteen.



As I glare at him since my left hand is free I immediately let out blue flames, flames that are common for nine-tailed foxes like me. I know for sure that he is actually the reason why my master lost her consciousness because right before she closed her eyelids I saw how the guy who claims himself to be god snapped his fingers. I know what does it actually means because I also have that kind of ability and he did just use his powers in order to put my master to sleep.



"You should calm down Kalyx, the successor of the nine-tailed fox clan. I just put her to sleep to be able to instantly transport the information that she needs to know and because you have no right to know it as well despite being one of the divine beings" he said and I cannot help but to let out a growl and even if I do not want to, I still made the fire I summoned disappear. He has a point, I am only familiar and there are things that I really shouldn't know unless my master herself states that I have the right to hear every single detail.



And also, before the master lost her consciousness I am already able to hear some of their conversations - I am just always listening but I have never dared to ask her about it because I am not sure if she is going to answer my questions or will she just ignore me. Anyways, the information that this god named Fourteen seems to be very personal to her so I have no right to interfere, and all that I could do is to actually shut up and make sure that she will be comfortable.



I will just stay by her side to protect her just in case, I never liked this place for her because this place is filled with dark energy and there are a lot of people that would literally want her dead and we are not even sure if the Emperor is really on our side. But then again, if ever that Emperor is going to do something bad to my master I am going to make sure that he'll experience pain that he never experienced before and I am going to make my clan eat his body. He will not get away if he actually tries to do harm to Dawn Scarlett.

Fourteen (the last god)



I really have no intention of revealing to Dawn Scarlett the details on why we, the fourteen gods chose her to become our Divine Lady but I have no choice. I did reveal it to her because I want her to trust us and I know the other thirteen gods will understand the reason why I did it. They also do not want to be hated by her anyways so I am sure that they will not be angry with what I did.



But even if they will be angry, they can no longer do anything about it because first, it already happened and second thing is that they still owe me for doing a good job in locating Dawn Scarlett and watching over her until she grew up. And yes, I was literally watching over her since the moment she was born and I witnessed everything but then again, as a god of a completely different world I have no right to interfere with her life and the consequence of interfering is actually quite grave so if I did so then I wouldn't be actually here guiding her in surviving in this world and making sure that she'll never take the wrong path just like the last person that we gave our blessing too.



As a god, there are still a few things that I still get shocked about. One of those things is the very existence of Dawn Scarlett and the reason for that will be revealed to her in that very dream that I created just for her to be able to understand everything from our point of view. The second thing is how attached this nine-tailed fox named Kalyx -- no his name is already Yuki with Dawn Scarlett. To be honest, even if we are the gods and we basically have the connection with divine beings, the nine-tailed foxes are the beings that we really do not get along with that well.



We can talk to them but it is hard to form a negotiation with them because they want the upper hand in every negotiation. They too are also very aggressive - the slightest change from someone or rather the moment that they saw that there something bad about an individual no one can change their mind and they will totally ignore that person or even curse them. But right now, the way I see it - this fox is a total simp for Dawn Scarlett - not only him to be honest but also the other foxes as well.



They want to meet her personally and they are actually pestering Uno, the first god to bring Dawn Scarlett to the spiritual realm for them to see her personally already but of course, since it is still too early for that, Uno declined and the head of the fox clam threw a tantrum which is again amusing. But then again, I guess it is because of the fact that Dawn Scarlett is blessed greatly by us gods and the fact that she has the purest souls of all. She was able to instantly make any being attached to her because of those qualities and I wouldn't really be surprised if that other aggressive being will be curious about her and actually force her to sign a familiar contract with him.



But whatever, she is the divine being anyways - our chosen one so she has the right to do everything that she wants. And not to mention, this is her life and she got to live it the way that she wants, no one can dictate to her what she should and shouldn't do. But also, I couldn't wait for the time that she will completely understand what is going on exactly - the moment that she'll open her eyes to the truth and remember what she should remember. It is actually a fact that she still has a long way to go but that is fine - she has reliable people by her side, even that bastard, the cold-blooded and brutal emperor is actually willing to help her. To be honest, I cannot wait for the time to come that he will find out that Dawn Scarlett is the divine lady and other more things.



I bet that he will not be able to keep that cold-blooded and brutal image of his for too long and I am going to make sure that I'll preserve that reaction of his because it will be too priceless.
