The Author Is Speechless-Chapter 27: His Name

The fourth stage of the dark forest was a land of magma and volcanos. So it was a place for hot springs and boiling rivers. It was a perfect place for the demons to live.

When the demon was halfway through his solidification process, a new hot spring formed around him. It was boiling but it didn't harm him because he was already half solid stone.

He was stuck there like a statue who's been placed in the middle of a fountain.

…

"Just a little more…"

Viktor was trying his best to lift the curse which has multiple layers. His body was slowly turning into its original colour. Soon, his face, neck, chest to leg, his whole body was free from the stone curse.

He was back to his original form.

-I did it.

The demon wasn't awake, because he was in his deep sleep. It was so sure that he gave up. So Viktor picked him up and walked back out of the oasis. On his way back, he took some pearls because they are too powerful to power a house for over a year-_-.

He's not heavy but he's too tall and his legs are dragging on the ground. Ugh…

After some time, Viktor could feel that his breathing patterns were changing. So he put him down and covered him with a blanket he always carries in his left crest.

The demon slowly opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was a golden ray around the person's body who was standing in front of him. He kept staring at him because he thought he died and the person was a god.

-He's so handsome…

Viktor kneeled in front of the demon and said,

"Are you feeling alright? Can you understand me?"

"A..m I.. de..ad?"

The demon was facing difficulty speaking after a long time.

"No, you're not dead. You're still alive."

The demon looked at him with his pure orange eyes for a moment and he touched Viktor's face to conform if he was dead or not.

"Are .. you. a hu..man?"

"Yes, I am a human. My name is Viktor. Do you remember your name?"

I have to ask him because I didn't pick a name for him when I wrote him. He was a nameless being in my side story. He wasn't related to any lead's story. So I had to save him.

"I don't have…a name."

-What? He was declared as this land's king but his damn father didn't choose his name?

No wonder why he died a dog's death.

The demon looked around and saw this place was the same as he saw decades ago. Not a single tree was there, not even a small bird.

"Will you come with me? I will show you a new world."

"But..my..cursed..ha..nd. Everyone will.ll die. "

Oh, I forgot about his curse.

"You touched me but I'm okay, right? I've made a seal into your soul. So you can't harm anyone with that curse. You're free."

He stood up and grabbed Viktor's face quickly. But Viktor was alright, he wasn't affected by his deadly curse. So he cried, and his tears fell on the ground without turning into a pearl. He was finally happy.

Poor him…

After a long hour of his non-stop crying, he finally stopped and said,

"I will follow you forever master Viktor. Please take care of me."

Viktor was surprised that he talked so clearly and called him master. He was once a king of this land. He has royal demon blood running into his body. And he's calling him master.

Viktor spaced out because he was never treated in that way before.

"Master, are you okay?"

"Oh, yes I am fine."

The demon was standing there covering his body with the blanket. So he took out some clothes that he prepared beforehand. He knew what clothes would fit him because he was the one who wrote him.

"Wear these, I bought them for you. And eat this while we're on our way out of this dark forest."

Viktor pointed his finger to the south and the demon asked,

"Isn't that the way to waterfalls? That way is dangerous master, you can't fly. And it will be difficult for me to carry you in this state of mine."

"Don't worry, this master of yours knows how to fly. But we won't be flying out of this place, we will take a shortcut. Not prepare yourself, we will leave this place in 30 minutes."

"Yes."

Viktor waited beside the spring because it was filled with pearl. So he just took every single of them. It was a high-grade pearl with so much magical power. One is enough to craft a high-grade weapon.

I should give him a name, right? Not some funky name that has no meaning. I should give him something that has a huge meaning. Something really special…

Viktor looked at him and saw his big muscled body. He looked like a 24 years old young man with black shiny hair and deep orange eyes. He was more than 7 feet tall. He was charming, handsome and sharp.

I bet even men are going to become crazy for him. His beauty isn't something to ignore. He will snatch every girl's heart with one smile of his. I have to name him someone so cool. But what should I name him…

Viktor was thinking about something very deeply that he didn't listen to the demon calling him over 10 times.

"Master!!!"

"Huhh!!! Oh.. You're ready. "

"Yes, master. Please lead the way."

The demon started to follow Viktor into the deep forest. It was dark and annoying but Viktor seems excited for some reason. He went through the shortest way to get out of the dark forest, and they got out of there in Just 15 minutes.

The demon was shocked because he lived in this forest for his whole life but had never seen this way out.

When they were almost their way out of the forest, Viktor looked back at him and said,

"Adonis. Your name shall be Adonis North from now on."

The demon was speechless by the thing he just said.
