The Dragon Lord System
DLS - 107

A man opened his eyes slowly, eyes filled with stains of fatigue and sadness.

His breathing was irregular, vibrating as if trying to cope with a very heavy load.

The pain spread throughout his body, indicating that he had gone through an extraordinary experience.

However, what struck him even more was a wave of memories that came flooding into his mind like a tsunami.

That tragic memory was engraved in his memory so powerfully, and felt like a still fresh wound in his heart.

Tears flowed profusely from his eyes, creating a bitter river that slid down from the cheeks.

A deep trauma crawled the man's soul, hitting him with such a tragic loss.

He felt back to those horrible moments when his precious friends were killed before his eyes.

The grisly and devastating deaths tell the story of their departure in unforgettable detail.

For a moment, the grief shattered him, shaking him violently.

In the gripping darkness, fear crept into the entire heart of the man.

The shadow of the horrifying experience he had just experienced continued to swirl in his mind, and it was as if he was trapped in an endless nightmare.

Until finally, without being able to endure it, he released his screams that were filled with fear and despair.

However, before the scream reached its peak, suddenly something hugged the man tightly.

His body felt warm and was overwhelmed by an unexpected tenderness. A soft voice struck his ear, "My husband...".

The man looked towards the voice and saw a woman with brown hair with a pretty face who was embracing her with affection.

Tears flowed from her eyes, though this time it was a different tear.

He felt protected, almost like finding shelter from a storm in the woman's arms.

The woman did not stop crying in her arms, and it was like relief for the man.

The presence of this woman, whom he knew by the name of Evelyn, brought the peace and comfort he needed in these gripping moments.

As soon as the woman let go of her embrace, the man looked at her with a mixed gaze between shock and deep pain.

"Evelyn.." he muttered between his erratic breaths, while his eyes were still teary with his cry that had just subsided.

In a tense silence, the door of the room suddenly opened with a clacky voice that broke the silence.

A man dressed in a black robe with a holy aura stepped in, and his steps approached the bed where the man named Rio was lying.

With a gentle look, the man greeted, "It looks like you're awake."

However, Rio still looked a little dumbfounded by the situation and events that had just happened.

His mind was empty, trying to rearrange memories and reality.

The man's eyes still looked blankly, his focus on the figure of the woman named Evelyn who was standing nearby.

The man's question did not get an answer, as if Rio's mind was still floating around in his confusion.

The man sitting near the bed seemed to understand Rio's state.

He looked at the man with understanding, like recognizing that Rio was struggling to rearrange his shattered memories.

His face was filled with expressions of sympathy, as a sign that he understood how difficult the situation Rio was in was.

Without being urgent or bothersome, the man continued to sit in a relaxed manner by the bedside.

Although silence still ruled the room, but the atmosphere was no longer tense.

In silence, the man waited for the moment when Rio was ready to talk or share about what he had experienced.

The gaze of the man who turned out to be a priest was instantly fixed on the woman beside Rio named Evelyn.

The woman, as if she had received an unspoken message, replied calmly, "Yes, sir."

The woman is named Evelyn, the wife of the man who is struggling to rearrange her memory, Rio.

The priest man responded with a serious expression, "Hmm... And what's your relationship with this guy?"

Evelyn did not hesitate to reply, stating that she was the wife of Rio.

However, that answer was followed by the priest's advice that suggested Evelyn to rest at home.

Realizing her pregnancy is already big, the priest man offers help in taking care of her husband.

However, Evelyn seemed reluctant to leave her husband. She understood that Rio had no other family and relatives, and in her heart, she knew that a time like this was a time where her husband needed her.

Evelyn wanted to remain beside the Rio she loved, guarding him and providing support in this confused situation.

Evelyn resolutely rejected the priest's offer to take care of her husband, revealing that she did not want to leave him in this kind of situation.

Although the priest man seemed to be worried about Evelyn's condition, he understood that there was a strong desire in this woman's heart to remain by her husband's side.

However, the atmosphere suddenly changed drastically as Rio suddenly shouted out loudly which shook the room.

The shout was like a deep burst of emotion, cutting off the calm that previously existed.

Evelyn panicked and unhesitatingly hugged Rio, trying to ease the fear and pain she might feel.

However, this time her hug attempt and gentle words did not seem enough.

Rio remained creaking, his voice filling the room like a person who lost self-control, with a stingy and disordered breath.

This situation is shocking and confusing.

The priest man looked concerned, and he was trying to figure out what Rio was really going through.

Evelyn herself felt desperate, not knowing how to help her husband who seemed so devastated.

Amidst this chaos and confusion, the gripping feeling grew more pronounced, creating an increasingly gripping and dark atmosphere.

With the panic growing overflowing, Evelyn immediately asked for an explanation to the priest man standing nearby.

His eyes were full of worry as he spoke, "What happened to my husband, Lord priest?!"

The priest man tried to calm down and explain, but suddenly Rio who seemed to lose self-control thrashed and hit the priest with unexpected strength.

The priest bounced off the bench where he was sitting with a loud enough voice.

EMBASSY.

EMBASSY.

This incident caused widespread shock and confusion.

The priest who was supposed to have strong strength and self-control, was now bounced away by the power coming from within Rio.

The situation is getting more complicated and confusing, as in the deepening darkness of the mystery.

Evelyn tried to assuage her husband who was still moving ferociously, trying to understand what was going on with Rio.

Quickly, the priest man got back up and focused on Rio's healing efforts.

He cast a spell and unleashed his tranquilizing magic, "[Lions Heart]!"

A holy light illuminated the room, enveloped Rio's body, and seemed to restore calm within him.

His breathing returned to order, restoring his calm state.

Just as Evelyn and the priest man were relieved to see Rio who seemed to have recovered, things suddenly changed.
