Chapter 1 - Two Sweet Voices

"Come to me..."

Lucien heard a soft voice that made him wake up. He opened his eyes, but it was almost no use.

"I can give you everything you want..."

The voice was too sweet, too good, and it had to be a trap...

"Offer everything?" Lucien can't help but think.

Lucien got up from the cold floor that he didn't remember lying on. There was a fog that limited him from seeing more than two meters ahead.

As he tried to remember how he ended there, the voice whispered again.

"Yes... anything and anyone... Any woman..."

Lucien was surprised by the voice's answer. Not because of what it offered but because it seemed that it read his mind.

Lucien's mind hurt a lot, and he couldn't think right. He didn't remember anything from before or how he got there.

But when the voice said "any woman," something arouse inside his mind. His mouth opened on its own, and the words flew without his control.

"Any women?!"

Lucien's words echoed in the fog, and gradually the silence returned, making him apprehensive.

When he thought to ask again, the voice whispered back, but this time it was so close that it seemed to speak in his ear.

"Yes... Even the one you thought was dead..."

Lucien was sure the voice was that of a demon. One who would take his soul in exchange for false promises. But he couldn't help but think it would be wonderful if he could see her again.

"Dead? Yes, she was dead, but it was a lie."

As Lucien tried to connect the confused thoughts in his mind, the voice whispered again and seemed closer and closer to him as if they were the same body.

"Do you want her that much? I can give her to you... I'm the only one who can give her back to you."

As much as Lucien tried to remember, he still couldn't. Maybe it is all just a dream. So why not play with the voice?

"And what do you want in return?"

After he asked, the voice started to laugh. Lucien was alert as the sound of laughter grew closer and closer. Then the answer came in the form of another question.

"What would be the price of having everything?"
