Sorry for the looong wait
Seriously, I was trying to love Ritcher but I can't. I just hate boys with long hair. Probably less Ain on later chapters
Except Immortal AHAHAHAHAH
The girls were making a circle in their room like usual. Unlike the happy atmosphere every night, this time was a bit gloomy. Ara and Rose were told that Elsword will be fine, but they were still worrying about it. What if he got completely corrupted by Dark El?
"It seems that Rose is not in the mood. I'll pick the potion," Eve said as she took a magenta potion.
"Eve, hold on," Rena held Eve's hand before she opened the potion. Eve looked at Rena, willing to hear what she had to say. "That potion might be dangerous. It's like time lapse and it's permanent!"
Eve smiled at Rena. "It will be fine!"
3rd Job Potion: Hello, welcome to the future! What do you think about your older self?
Eve woke up earlier than usual. She noticed something new in her system.
Code: Ultimate.
She got up and looked at the girls. Everyone seemed normal until she realized Lu got bigger horns, even a pair of wings on her back. She realized that something bad might happened to the boys, especially her boyfriend. She quickly climbed down the stairs to check the situation.
"Eve!" Elsword glomped at her and hugged her. "It's rare to see you without wings!" he shouted with sparkling eyes.
Eve's eyes widened in surprise. The Dark El was affecting him as she can see on his hair. More importantly, she noticed something really different from him. "You're fine?"
Elsword tilted his head. "Of course I'm fine! Why?"
Eve chuckled and shook her head. Elsword got corrupted, but she believed everything will be fine. It appeared that he's still controlling Dark El. The corrupted part was a process of him becoming what he was right now. At least that was she thought.
Eve went to the kitchen to see Ciel. His last strand of blue hair turned white. "Hey, you look confused! Something's wrong?" Elsword asked in curiosity.
"Actually, I don't know. I picked random stuff last night," Eve replied as she went to the living room. Nobody was around, so she stood up in front of Add's lab. She was trying to help him, but the potion skipped the time. Did I manage to help him?
"Whatever happened, it's not your fault, Eve. You tried to help him," Elsword patted Eve's head. She turned her face to him, wondering how he knew what she was thinking. "Hey, it's been a while since we play with Add! Wanna play with him?" he smiled at her.
Eve smiled back as she faced the door. She tried to knock the door, but it wasn't even locked. She can hear glasses sound as she opened the door. "I... failed," Eve sighed as she looked at broken glasses scattered on the floor. She was expecting to see the usual insane Add, but she was wrong.
They saw a white haired kid lying on the bed. He was facing the wall, but they can tell who he was. "Add, what happened to you?"
Add didn't give any answer. He didn't even bother to look at them.
They can hear footsteps. Eve and Elsword looked at the person who just came. "Too bad! We failed to help Add," Rose said to them with a smile. She walked in and sat on the bed.
Add got up to see Rose. His left sclera turned black. "We didn't fail," Add murmured as he hugged his knees. Rose petted Add's head. "I was able to go back. I saved my mom, but I came back here. I don't want to leave you."
"Aw, you're a sweet kid!" Rose hugged Add tightly.
"I'm not a kid!" Add yelled at Rose.
Eve smiled before she left the room with Elsword. "That ended well," she commented.
"Actually, something is wrong with Chung."
Elsword grabbed Eve's hand to the backyard. Chung was reading a book under the tree. They didn't need to talk to him to know what was wrong. Before Eve said a thing, Elsword dragged her back inside the house. "You see what I mean? He doesn't seem cheerful," he said to her with a sad look.
Eve gave a nod. "We should start with the introduction. What's your title?"
"Immortal! Are you sure you're okay, Eve?"
Eve tilted her head. "Sorry? Immortal?"
"It sounds exaggerating, but I'm telling the truth," Elsword grinned. Eve didn't know what to respond. At least his smile is back to normal.
Eve casually opened Add's lab door and interrupted their alone moment. "Tell me your title and I'll leave," she commanded.
"Minerva," Rose smiled and pinched Add's cheeks from rhe back. "He's Mad Paradox."
Eve nodded and walked toward the boys' room. She opened the door casually, even after a warning from Elsword. "Guys! Tell us your title to satisfy Eve!" Elsword shouted to prevent the awkwardness.
"Ritcher," Ain answered. Even though he got fish memory, he still had his cool.
Raven was clenching his human-like Nasod arm. "Furious Blade," he replied as he stared at it.
Eve went to the kitchen. Ciel was confused for a moment, but he told her anyway. "Abysser. Lu is Timoria, but people called us Catastrophe."
The Nasod went upstairs and let Elsword to the girls' room. Rena and Elesis were already awake.
"Call me Empire Sword!" Elesis shouted with pride.
"Elesis, keep your voice down!" Rena yelled with a whisper. "I'm Twilight."
"It's your idol, Metamorphy!"
Eve and Elsword turned around to find Aisha behind them. She gave a big smile. "How do I look? I'm fabulous!"
"I want to deny it," Elsword commented.
Ara got up as she stretched her body. "Apsara is awake!" she shouted with a smile.
Eve knew something between Aisha and Chung. They weren't serious about their relationship, but there should be no problem to say it right now. After all, they already skipped a few years. "Are you still with Chung?" Eve asked Aisha directly.
"I broke up with him long time ago! I dated Ain and Ciel as well, but I haven't dated Raven yet," Aisha pouted. "I'm going after him, so see you guys later!" she said with a singing tone as she left the place.
"Even Ain?" Eve asked with confused look. She didn't want to ask the details, so they went back to the backyard.
Chung sighed as he closed his book. He narrowed his eyes at the couple. "What do you guys want?"
"Wanna play?" Elsword asked with a smile. Eve smacked his head and asked Chung's title.
"Fatal Phantom," Chung stood up and faced Elsword. "What do you need?"
Elsword laughed at him with satisfied feeling. "I'm always happy every time you look up to face me! I feel superior!" he folded his arms.
Chung took out his guns and shot Elsword. He dodged it and ran away as fast as he could with laughter. "We'll see about that!" Chung smiled as he chased Elsword all the way to the street. Eve was just standing there, looking at what happened in front of her. She sat under the tree and looked at her own memories. As a Nasod, she needed to recall things first. Everyone seemed to know what happened except her.
"Elsword, we need to talk," Eve grabbed Elsword's arm after the leave the cafe. The cheerful Elsword she knew was gone-all that remained was his physical body. She knew Elsword was getting controlled by Dark El.
Elsword faced her and smiled creepily. "Make it fast! I want to find demons!"
Eve slapped Elsword real hard, even some people looked at their direction. She didn't care about her surroundings—all she cared was the boy in front of her. She grabbed Elsword's shoulders. "I don't want to talk to you! I want to talk to Elsword!"
"I am in front of you!"
Eve used her drones and shot Elsword with electron ball to shock him. "Elsword!"
Elsword's eyes widened in surprise. He put his hand on his slapped cheek and rubbed it. "What's wrong with you?" Eve asked as she dragged him somewhere quiet.
"I'm sorry."
Elsword avoided eye contact with Eve. "I hate all these stuffs. I don't want to fight to save the world! I didn't sign up for this! I hate everything!"
The Nasod hugged him tightly. The stuffs he was talking about was about the demon invasion. It was true, Elsword never planned to do any of this, yet he got dragged for reasons. "Do you think the Dark El will consume me soon? What if I hurt you—"
"Don't say that. I know you can control it," Eve smiled as she dragged him back to the town. "You're just consuming more Dark El. It's fine, no? Are you saying you're getting worse?"
Elsword chuckled at her. Seeing the boyfriend she knew was a part of her happiness.
"Eve! It's time to go with the fun!" Elsword dragged Eve to the backyard at night. They went to their hiding spot. Ain was there to wait for the instruction.
"Ain, her name is Aisha. Say that you love her and ask her for a date," Eve gave the commands. Elsword asked Ain's help to break the relationship between Aisha and Chung. Both of them were toying with each other. Chung was starting to love Aisha for real as the time went by, but Eve knew Aisha was still playing around. As Chung's best friend, Elsword wanted the relationship to end.
"This isn't right, but I'll do anything to help you, Elsword," Ain said to Eve and Elsword. Eve knew Ain was willing to do anything for Elsword, so she prepared a simple plan for this.
A few minutes later, Aisha went to the backyard. She greeted Ain in front of her. "It's weird that you suddenly called me. What's wrong?"
"I've been looking at you for a long time. I wasn't supposed to hang out with you people, but you always catch my attention," Ain smiled and stopped his talking for a moment. Aisha was flattered with what he said. Eve and Elsword were happy with the result so far. Little do they know, Ain was actually trying to remember the name. "I know you were dating with Mr. Guardian, but… do you want to go on a date with me tomorrow, Azlan? If you don't mind with the nickname—"
Aisha grabbed Ain's hands. "Of course, Ain. I would love to have a date with you."
As Aisha went back to the girls' room, Eve and Elsword sighed in relief. "How did I do? I can't remember her name," Ain reported.
"You did great," Elsword gave a thumb-up.
A few days later, Eve and Elsword went to the town before the meeting with Chung at the nearest café. Eve's plan was to literally let Chung know that Aisha was cheating on him. Elsword needed to lie, so he said something different to him. "Ain told me he's dating with your girlfriend."
Unexpectedly, Chung gave a sad smile. "I know. I broke up with her two days ago." He sighed and looked at his cup of coffee. "I think I deserved it. I was playing around at first anyway."
Eve sighed and looked up to the sky. She was glad that everyone was safe, but something was missing today. Something that usually happened to ruin the day. She stood up and walked to the living room. As she expected, Rena was there, cleaning the house. "Rena, I have a question."
Rena stopped cleaning and looked at Eve. The Nasod stared at her eyes. "You still have the potions?"
The elf froze in place for a moment. She was trying to process everything, including Eve's question. "We were using the gold potion, correct?"
Eve nodded in response. Rena just sighed and folded her arms. "No wonder! I feel like something is missing. We were having fun with potions, but suddenly the things went smoothly without it," Rena giggled at the memory that felt like a long time ago. "Hey, let's use it again tonight. I still have some!"
Okay, I know
What the hell happened to my old writing style AHAHAHAHAH well f-ck
