The Bored Immortal

Viktor quickly withdrew his hands the moment Tiana showed up downstairs, much to Taya and Umilia's relief. Even though they knew Viktor was simply messing with them, the tension was still real.

They could still feel his searing touches over their sensitive parts, and Taya felt that she might have to change her panties before going out again.

Viktor smirked inwardly, being amused by their tense reactions and felt that having his women all in one house was no different than heaven.

"Ah, Tia, I had forgotten about it. You can take it from me on your way out. One of the maids will bring it down."

Tiana smiled, "Okay, mom! Oh, Goodboi, what are you doing over there in the kitchen?" Tiana was surprised to see him in the middle of the two women and curiously scuttled over.

Viktor felt that Tiana seemed more friendly with Taya since the day he returned and when he asked Taya about it, she said that she had some daughter-mother time with her, which made sense for Viktor considering that he could see how Taya seemed to have been unable to spare much time for Tiana due to her obsession with seeking immortality.

However, she said she had to really try hard to placate Tiana's hurt feelings and was able to somehow make things better after taking some cues from Viktor.

He even looked at Tiana's dressing style and was surprised to see that, unlike before, she was wearing a denim jacket with a t-shirt inside and jeans. At least this time, her dressing style wasn't too…revealing. He felt that Tiana purposefully dressed like that before just to get attention from Taya and for girls her age, rebelling was usually the only and best way they knew to make parents notice them.

"Oh, I was just checking out the cooking of Aunt Umi. It smells tasty as always," Viktor said with a bright smile.

Tiana looked over to see the dish Umilia was cooking and said, "Of course. Aunt Umi's cooking is the best, and mom is not too far from her in skills, hehe."

"Tia! I am sure one day I will rival Umi," Taya said jovially as Umilia smiled amusedly.

Sayana also came down, dressed in a pink jacket, fully zipped up, and casual white pants with a backpack on her back. Her hair was neatly tied up into a long ponytail, and including her specs, her overall appearance gave off the vibe of someone who would definitely become a topper in this college.

"Saya, everything ready for your first day?" Umilia asked with a smile, seeing the slightly nervous expression on her face.

Unlike Tiana, who was filled with excitement and vigor about going to college on the first day, Sayana was feeling a bit nervous and anxious about her first day.

However, when she looked at Dorian, who was ready with a smile brimming with energy, she felt a bit relaxed, thinking that this time she had someone who might keep her company.

"Haa, Saya, why pick such a boring outfit? You could have asked me and I would have picked some nice shirts and pants to make you look stylish. Don't you want to get a nice boyfriend?" Tiana asked with a sigh.

"I…"

"Tia…don't corrupt that nice girl. She already looks great in her current outfit," Taya chided Tiana, who pouted.

"Yes, Saya. No need to worry about anything. I am sure your first day will be pleasant. Also, you can look over Dorian as well, right? He is new to everything, including these modern colleges, and might need some help," Umilia subtly mentioned.

"Right. Tiana, you also have to make sure Dorian is comfortable and doesn't face any issues on his first day. Can I trust you with that simple task?" Taya asked with a narrowed gaze, to which Tiana briefly looked at a blinking Dorian and sighed as she nodded languidly, "Fine."

She thought that Dorian helped her out during the tournament, and she could at least repay the favor.

Viktor, who was being silent all this time, finally opened his mouth, "Thank you all for taking care of me. I am sure I must be burdening you all."

"Not at all. I mean I…" Sayana suddenly spoke up, but when all of them looked at her, she felt awkward and forgot the words she wanted to say.

Taya and Umilia had a tacit understanding to let their daughters 'take care' of Viktor, but in reality, they knew Viktor didn't need any babysitting but quite the opposite. If they tell Viktor to keep an eye on Tiana and Sayana, then it might seem suspicious. But if it was the other way around, the two girls would at least be near Viktor, and he could easily watch over them.

"Oh, mom, look at this news," Tiana suddenly pointed out as she caught sight of something strange on the TV.

Umilia's brows furrowed as she said, "Lexa, can you turn up the volume of the TV?"

"Of course…" A robotic female voice echoed in the kitchen, much to Viktor's awe as he saw the volume increasing on the TV on its own.

"Not just an hour ago, we found a number of craters in the farthest corner of the Orobo Town where the land had originally been cordoned off for the construction of a mall. But now around 4 sq km of land is riddled with craters with a few meters radius all over the land, making it such a bizarre incident, especially with no one having an idea of what happened here or how these craters magically appeared here without anyone's knowledge, not even the people nearby. Experts say that these craters were definitely not caused by something that fell from the skies but from the ground level itself. But this is the second time we are seeing a weird incident like this, preceded by the strange crimson sky phenomenon that occurred all over the world more than a week ago."

"What in the world is that…" Taya mumbled with raised brows as she looked at the images of the land riddled with craters.
