Azar’s World of Magi

"Beautiful..." Osiris picked up a picture as he smiled foolishly. He walked over to the mirror to check himself out before nodding a few times.

Then he took a step and disappeared.

---

Far away on the Central Continent...

With his hands in his pockets, Osiris walked around looking for flowers.

Everyone cast second glances at him. Although he looked ordinary, there was a strange aura around him. Worse still, the longer one looked, the more drawn in they became.

"Excuse me... give me that one," Osiris said as he entered a random flower shop.

"Erm..." the receptionist looked up, about to pack the flowers before asking for the payment.

But just as she was about to speak, she felt her heartbeat skip.

"What is this... why does he..." her thoughts became unstable.

She could not understand it.

He looked ordinary. Even her male friends looked better than him at first glance, but the second time she looked at him, he seemed almost ethereal, like an angel walking among them.

Was she blind?

Or had she simply not looked properly before?

With her heart pounding, she looked up once more, but it became even worse.

Before, she had merely thought he looked handsome.

Now...

He looked exactly like the man of her dreams.

Her cheeks flushed red as her body trembled slightly.

"Miss... the flowers, please," Osiris smiled sweetly.

She could no longer handle it.

Her eyes almost rolled back as she fought the urge to faint.

A few moments later, Osiris walked out while sniffing the flowers.

Although they were not the best, their scent made one feel as though they were floating in the sky.

"She would love this..." Osiris thought before disappearing once more.

Inside the shop, the receptionist sat weakly on the floor, struggling to catch her breath.

"How... how can someone who looks so ordinary be this charming..." she muttered while clutching her chest and breathing heavily.

---

"Hm..."

A female slowly opened her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering gently.

She was merely sitting there, yet it felt as though the entire world revolved around her.

She wore a glossy dark dress lined with soft golden patterns that highlighted her figure perfectly. Her smooth pale skin matched the dress flawlessly.

Behind her was a beautiful sunset.

They were seated at the top of a building. In her hand was a glass filled with a faint red liquid that carried the scent of flowers.

Across from her, various delicacies were neatly arranged on the table.

Soon

Click...

She slowly raised her head as the door opened.

An ordinary-looking man stepped out with a bright smile on his face, holding a bouquet of flowers. He wore a pure white T-shirt paired with neatly adorned black trousers.

His eyes were like endless darkness, mysterious enough to pull one in.

Seeing him, she scoffed softly.

"My beloved, you are here," Osiris said as he walked onto the balcony.

He glanced at the delicacies, the wine-like drink, and the sunset.

This was the perfect moment.

The perfect moment to meet her.

"Right..." she replied softly, her voice sounding like mesmerizing piano notes.

Osiris felt his body heat up as a tingling sensation spread across his ears.

Looking at her face, he felt she was never meant to exist in this world.

Even the beautiful sunset and clouds paled in comparison to her.

Her beauty was earth-shattering.

Osiris found himself drawn toward her pale blue eyes, eyes that seemed to hide endless secrets he wanted to dive into and explore forever.

Very quickly, he walked toward her and bowed slightly before handing her the bouquet.

Seeing this, she sighed softly before accepting the flowers.

Then, under Osiris’ expectant gaze, she gently sniffed them.

Her pale blue eyes lit up slightly.

"You like them?" Osiris asked.

She slowly nodded.

Osiris smirked before pulling back his chair and sitting down.

The two stared at each other across the table.

One ordinary-looking man.

One otherworldly beauty.

"I hope this..." Osiris glanced around at the table, the location, and the atmosphere.

Everything had been carefully prepared to be perfect.

"...pleases you," Osiris finished with a smile.

"Yes," she replied softly.

Instantly, Osiris felt his face burn.

She liked it.

Yes... finally, she did.

"So why did you invite me here?" she asked calmly as Osiris rubbed his hands together.

"Of course, because I missed my beloved and wanted to dine with her," Osiris replied matter-of-factly.

"Really?" she frowned slightly.

"But I do not remember accepting your advances. So who exactly is your beloved?"

"Oh, come on. It has already been twenty years. Almost everyone..." Osiris looked around before lowering his voice into a whisper.

"...already thinks we are together, so why not make it official?"

She laughed softly.

Her laughter sounded like the chime of beautiful bells, causing Osiris’ heart to race wildly.

"Yes... twenty years..." she murmured as her thoughts drifted back to their younger days.

No matter where she went, Osiris would always appear.

Excitedly confessing his love.

Venturing into dangerous places just to bring her gifts.

Doing all sorts of things for her.

Only...

If those emotions had truly been real.

"Osiris... twenty years of this lie..." she spoke softly.

Osiris’ expression changed instantly.

"You think I do not know?" she asked, her gaze locking onto his.

"The real reason you are doing all this?"

The surroundings suddenly felt silent.

Osiris slowly raised his eyes.

"Linkir..." Osiris muttered.

She gave a sweet smile.

"At one point, I almost believed it was real. That is how good your acting was," Linkir said. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Osiris lowered his head.

"Sigh... after all, you are merely his clone. What would you know about love?" Linkir thought coldly before drinking the wine in a single gulp.

Then she stood up.

Her graceful figure became even more mesmerizing as she moved, her waist swaying gently.

Passing by Osiris, he finally took a deep breath before standing up.

"Linkir, wait..." he said as he grabbed her hand, but she continued walking.

"I said..." Osiris stepped closer and pushed her gently against the wall.

Her back hit the surface as her eyes widened while staring at Osiris, who was now only a breath away from her.

"Wait..." Osiris spoke softly.

His hot breath brushed against her face, causing her heartbeat to quicken.

Time itself seemed to slow down as she looked at him.

His shirt was slightly unbuttoned, the infinity symbol on his chest shining brightly.

And his face...

At this point, he was far from ordinary.

To her, he looked ethereal, like a god staring down at a mortal daring to defy the rules of heaven.

His eyes burned with such intensity that Linkir felt her mind go blank.

"What if I really did love you?" Osiris asked softly.

Linkir felt as though she could no longer breathe.

Love...?

Between her and him?

No.

That was impossible.

"It... it is just..."

"...not possible," Linkir mumbled as she slowly closed her eyes.

And when she opened them again...

Osiris was gone.

Her heartbeat pounded violently as she tried to calm herself down, but it was impossible.

The image of him breathing softly against her face replayed in her mind over and over again.

"Yeah... not possible..." Linkir closed her eyes once more.

And when she opened them

She was already back at the front lines.

Before her stood thousands of Tier 6 monsters charging forward.

Slowly, her dress transformed into particles of soft light before turning into an enchanted magi battle suit that fit tightly against her skin.

She took a deep breath.

Snap...

It was not even a challenge.

One after another, the Tier 6 beasts exploded into blood mist.

But even that did not solve her problem.

The image of Osiris continued replaying endlessly in her mind.

"Damn it..."

"What a lie..."

"Love is a lie..." Linkir muttered as she slowly fell to her knees.

"If not... I would not be trapped in this mortal body..."

"I hate it so much."

"What kind of crazy emotions are these?" Linkir asked softly while staring at the ground.

Gentle tears rolled down her cheeks.

She truly wished...

Truly wished...

That she could return to her main body.

But it remained far away in the depths of the multiverse, controlling everything.

The only thing she could do was reincarnate into this world as a clone.

But as a mortal...

She had become filled with strange emotions she did not understand.

Especially when Osiris kept chasing after her.

She...

But...

Why was she the only one who had fallen in love?

Osiris seemed completely fine. He only had one goal

To enjoy this world as a mortal.

But how could he?

When he did not even truly feel mortal?

"Liar..." Linkir muttered softly as her body trembled slightly.
