The Archivist's Ploy: A Tale of One Against The World

Far above the horizon, beyond the clouds and the apocalyptic storms under it, hovered a yellow-haired old-looking man. His yellow eyes gave off a bright radiance, and countless books floated around him. Throughout history, the man was known by many names, (The Watcher - The Chronicler - The Historian - The Custodian - The Recordkeeper) But during this Era, he was known as The Archivist. The Archivist's perception inspected thousands of kilometers far and wide, Yet 'Nothing interesting is happening' His frustration grew 'What's the point of a worldwide perception if there's no apposite change to perceive?' 'The world has become mundane' 'And no one is doing anything about it' Ergo, The Archivist will take matters into his own hands 'I'll orchestrate a worldwide, All-embracing scheme against an oblivious individual' With a sinister smile on his face, he devised his plan 'Turn the entire world into a person's antagonist, Then enjoy the show' And he had the perfect plot for it 'First, Utter Despair that would cause immense Pain' 'Then, More Despair that would turn the Pain to Loathe' 'Then, As the Loathe grows, The Despair will transform into Rage' 'The Rage will make the Being Crave Revenge, and the intense Crave will result in Devotion to his goal' 'Finally, The Despair, Pain, Loathe, Crave, and Devotion will all be used as fuel for the Rage, Transforming it into an even extremer emotion' "WRATH" How would a single person unleash his Wrath against the entire world? 'That's what I'm going to find out' "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" The Archivist's maniacal laughter echoed loudly 'The world is about to be entertaining' He looked up and asked with a reverberating, Bleak voice "Who will be the unlucky one?"

Leus walked out of the Library's door.

As always, two armored knights were standing in front of it, but something didn't make sense to Leus

'It's morning, why is Felix not here?'

So he approached Robert and asked

"Hey, Robert"

"Hello, Young Master, how can I help you?"

"I was just wondering, where is Guardian Felix? This should be his shift, am I right?"

Robert nodded

"This is his week off"

"Week off?"

"About a month ago, his work schedule changed.

He now works two weeks and takes the third week off."

A smile appeared on Leus' face

"Really now? That's pretty nice to hear, thanks for answering"

"My pleasure"

Leus politely said goodbye and walked toward his house

'Arno actually listened, in essence, he's really nice'

Leus' mood became better.

He quickly reached home and found Blaze training Merlin in the yard.

This time, Leus wasn't using the Abstract of Concealment, so Blaze has already noticed him

Blaze asked Merlin to wait and looked at the approaching Leus

"Leus, Welcome back"

"Dad! Merlin! How are you doing?"

Merlin was quite excited

"Leus, welcome back! I've been training with Dad since he came back, I'll soon be as good with the sword as you and Dad!"

Leus smiled

"I'm sure you'll be even better, Dad is the best swordmaster"

They both looked at Blaze who looked slightly embarrassed but didn't say anything.

Blaze looked at Leus and said

"You're flattering me. Anyway, yes, Merlin has been training a lot."

He looked at Merlin

"If you keep up, I'll send you to the Knight School, you'll get even better there"

Merlin was standing beside Leus and both were in front of Blaze.

For a second, Blaze stared at them and thought to himself

'It's so strange, Merlin is 10, Leus is 4 years younger, yet, Leus is taller and looks like he's at least 5 years older than him ...'

But Merlin's voice brought him back to the present

"I'll train harder! I'll train until I become the best"

Blaze smiled upon hearing that

"The best? That's some big words, little guy, if you want to be the best then you have to train way harder"

"Then Let's continue! Let's train harder"

When Leus heard that he nodded in approval and said

"I don't want to interrupt your training, so I'll go inside, you two should continue"

"Sure Leus, if you need anything let me know"

Both Merlin and Blaze took a stance with their wooden swords and got ready to resume their training.

Leus left them and entered the house, Viorica and Amethyst were together in the lobby, both concentrating on something

"Mom, Amy, I'm back"

Amethyst didn't turn around, while Viorica just glanced at him and looked back at what she was looking at

'Huh?'

Leus was surprised by their reaction, so he came closer to see what they were doing which made both of them so focused.

He walked towards the couch and

'Is Amethyst ... sewing?'

"Is she sewing, Mom?"

Viorica nodded without saying anything, and Leus just kept watching his sister sew what seemed like

'A bright-purple shirt'

Minutes passed like that, then finally, Amethyst stopped and took a deep breath.

"I'm done!"

She looked at Leus beaming, her smile was so bright that her face almost glowed, she looked so beautiful

'Wow... she inherited mom's smile'

She spoke with a sweet voice

"Leus! I made this shirt for you! wear it"

"For me?"

"Yes! I made a red one for Merlin and a pink one for you!"

'That's ... not pink'

But after a second thought

'Ah .. bright purple, magenta, pink, all the same thing, whatever'

He didn't correct her and just took the shirt

"Thank you so much Amethyst"

Both Viorica and Amethyst were staring at him

"Is ... something wrong?"

Both of them said at the same time

"Wear it!"

"Now?"

Both nodded vigorously

Leus removed his shirt, revealing his well-built body.

His chest was wide, he had six packs, and his arms looked strong.

He looked exactly like a 17-year-old athletic guy with a slim body.

"Ooh, Leus, you've grown up too fast" Viorica remarked

Amethyst affirmed

"Yes! He's looking like a small version of Dad"

Leus focused on wearing the shirt as quickly as possible

The shirt was a half-sleeve magenta-colored T-shirt, it didn't have any marks or words on it, just a shirt.

It also wasn't perfectly made

'The front end is slightly shorter than the back end, and one sleeve is longer than the other'

Naturally, these things were normal since Amethyst wasn't an expert, this was the first time Leus saw her sewing.

"It's amazing! Thank you so much"

Amethyst brightly smiled

"I'm glad that you like it"

Viorica stood up

"Turn around"

He did as she said, and then she started pointing out the mistakes in the shirt to Amethyst.

"The right sleeve is tighter than it should, the back end is taller than it should" And many other things that even Leus didn't know existed.

Amethyst listened diligently to everything Viorica said

"Alright Mom, I'll make the next one better!"

After they both were done talking, Viorica looked at Leus

"There's still time, but since you came back early, I'll cook lunch now"

When Leus heard that he nodded vigorously

"Yes Mom, I'm really hungry today"

'Now that I think about it, I've been hungry for a while, but I just ignored it ...'

Leus didn't know if that was a side effect of Remedy's treatment or just normal hunger, but it didn't really matter now, he just wanted to eat.

Viorica looked at him with concern

"Are you alright?"

"Yes, just hungry"

Viorica looked at Amethyst and asked

"Amey, will you help me?"

"Of course, Mom!"

Both Viorica and Amethyst entered the kitchen and Leus was left alone in the lobby.

He stretched his body and looked around him

'Ahh, sweet home'

He yawned

'I'll take a shower until the food is ready, it'll also help me be more active, I don't want to come home and spend the day asleep instead of with everyone here.'
