Once the fee was paid, she put one foot ahead of the other and finally entered the village with ease. She had no specific place she was moving to or a plan in mind, all she wanted to do was look around.

"Do you need a tour guide?" Hawk asked her.

Slowly, she moved her eyes back and forth and considered his question for a while. "I think so, but I am not paying for one." she added.

There were still many uses for all of her energy crystals, In a space one week, Severus had used up ten thousand of them on the internal heat regulating pills and ingredients.

"Don't worry, I won't charge you a thing." he answered with a chuckle.

"Why?" she was even more suspicious. The underworld was one of those places where nothing came for free. It was also a place where one had to second guess everything, she knew that more than the others.

Gasping, she placed a hand over her chest and looked at him with wide eyes. "Don't tell me that you are in love with me."

Equally surprised, Hawk gasped at her outrageous statement, "Are you crazy why would I be in love with you?"

"I am pretty, I am on the leaderboard, I am rich.." she counted off the easiest reasons she could think off on her fingers.

"I like Ezrah." Hawk blurted, "No offense but you are plain, there is no spunk with you." You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin

"Spunk." she said, wondering what he meant by that. Was spunk even a word?

"Yes, you are the basic grim reaper in my eyes."

"Basic!!" she said loudly.

"You are Ezrah's good friend, best friend she claims since you shared some of your resources with her and I want to be on good terms with you. I have been chasing her for one year now but the ice refuses to melt, do you have any good ideas to help me?" he said as he walked.

Now that got her head spinning. "Tour companies?" she said as a question.

"Mmm," he nodded, "There are parts of the underworld we hate, the cold areas with nasty creatures and there are warm areas, the deities gardens, their springs, other realms. You can visit such places if you pay for a guide and spirit boat."

"Wow," she exclaimed.

"It's not boring here, there are many things which we do for fun, you should consider buying a house, talk to the soul registrars when you are ready, they also handle the real estate of the underworld.

The tour went on for another thirty minutes before Hawk left and she returned to the real world. It struck her when she opened her eyes that the dark rune village reminded her of a cultivation comic she had read on earth.

Many of the buildings, the arrangements, the power structure, it was all too similar. Perhaps, that cultivation novel had been written by a grim reaper.

"Enjoy the trip?" Severus who was laying lazily on her bed asked.

"Yes." she replied. Then she noticed that sometime when she was sleeping, Justin had come into her room and crawled into her bed. It was too soon for them both to be sleeping but given the weather outside, many slept early so this was not a surprise.

"Have you been seduced by the beauty of the dark rune village?" he further asked.

"Yes." she admitted.

lightsnοvεl He sighed as if he had been expecting exactly that tiresome reply. "I guess my mother will have her way after all, she has been wanting you to see the village so that you could move in since we come as a pair you and I."

"I am not moving in right now." she told him.

"Oh that's a relief." Severus relaxed. He was not ready to be within blinking distance of his mother.

"Did anything happen while I was away?"

"Nothing, your human husband still hasn't called if that's what you were hoping to hear. But I blinked and checked on him, he is breathing and uninjured."

She sighed and looked at her terminal, and then she laid her head back down on her pillow. If he was fine, why wasn't he calling?
