The sun was about to set completely, but its lights still painted the sky red, pink, and somewhat purplish. The clouds were moving slowly as though they were stuck in traffic.

A vast sea was still, not moving even a little as there was no wind. It was utterly silent, like midnight, with no sign of life. Suddenly, there was a faint sound in the distance.

Then, something passed by with the speed of light or even faster. And a second later, Rudy landed on top of the sea as if he had teleported there, but he didn't crash. He stood on top of the sea without causing a single ripple on it.

It was almost as though Rudy wasn't there.

"Tch!" He clicked his tongue and muttered, "I lost it."

When Rudy was returning after meeting Cassandra, he teleported to his house, but he had a strange sense of feeling that something was not right. He felt like he was being watched.

When he looked up at the sky, he saw something glowing with the size of a firefly. At first, he assumed it was a star twinkling, a visible satellite, or something else. But he felt curious and decided to check it. But it started moving away from him.

It was so small and far away that it wouldn't even be visible to the naked eye or even binoculars. When Rudy noticed it was moving away, he increased his speed and noticed that the thing was also moving fast.

Rudy decided to mark the object with his eyes so he wouldn't lose track of it, but surprisingly enough, it wasn't getting marked. He also couldn't figure out how far it was, but he could still see it.

For a second, he even thought that was a glitch in the matrix, and he was seeing something from another dimension or world. Still, he had to check it.

When Rudy was close enough to the thing, he tried to mark it again, but it suddenly picked up speed so fast that it disappeared from Rudy's sight. Rudy wouldn't have realized it if he wasn't already familiar with how fast the speed of light was.

Rudy was surprised to see how a small object could achieve a fast speed.

During the chase, Rudy caught up to the object many times, but it somehow found a way to escape again. Rudy couldn't achieve the speed of light, but he was on par with the object.

Had he known where the object would turn or move next, he could have planned his chase better, but he was just randomly the following something with no destination. It wasn't a chase on the surface where the person could only run on the street; the sky had no limits and restrictions.

After chasing it for a while, the object suddenly disappeared as if it had broken through the light barrier, and Rudy lost track of it.

"Either it traveled even faster than the light or teleported somewhere. But what was it? It was smaller than a raindrop, to be honest. I am surprised I could see that and even managed to chase it like this.

It's safe to assume that whatever it was, it didn't belong to this world. Was it a creature? What race could be so small if not the insects? I don't think it meant any harm, but what was it doing there?

I can't even pass judgment on them as the town is the hotspot to the doors, gates, and portals to the other world. They are supposed to be there. Maybe I shouldn't have chased it and rather called out to it?

I mean, if I was chilling in the air like that and someone suddenly started chasing me, I would also run, given I didn't have the Lord's power. Not that I would actually run I was just thinking from the creature's perspective. Anyway"

Rudy glanced around and muttered, "Where the hell am I? What's this place? I am pretty sure I circled the earth like ten times in different directions while cashing that thing."

He looked at the beautiful scenery and wondered, "Is the sun setting or rising? I can't see anything other than the endless horizon of the sea, so I don't even know if that's east or west."

Rudy took out his phone and clicked a few pictures of the beautiful scenery to show it to others, but then he thought his eyes were the best camera in the world and he could just turn his vision into data and show it as a recording.

The sky's reflection on the sea surface was impeccable, clearer than a mirror.

"Is it strange that the first thought to come to my mind after seeing this scenery was, 'I want to have sex here'?"

Rudy flew a little higher, getting all the view, and he almost ended up flying outside the atmosphere.

"Oh, so the sun was setting."

After that, Rudy teleported in front of his house and casually walked inside.

"I am home~" he said cheerfully.

He walked in and saw Rebecca and Angelica looking at Rudy as though they were waiting for him to come to the living room after entering the house.

"What's up?" He glanced around and asked, "Where is Lucy?"

Rebecca stared at Rudy while Angelica smiled awkwardly at him.

"Err do you two need more time to talk? I can go into my room if you want."

"No, there is no need. We talked about everything there was. Go wash your hands, I will serve the food," Rebecca responded.

"Uhm" Rudy shook his head and said, "I am not eating unless Lucy returns."

Rudy used his tracking ability and nodded, "She is here."

A second later, the front door opened, and Lucy walked in with a grocery bag.

"You are back" Lucy said when she saw Rudy.

"Yes. Where have you been?"

"I wanted to make dessert for your friend. Is it too late?"

"It's not, but we can make it later after dinner. I will help you make it."

After that, they all ate dinner like a typical family, and Rudy later helped Lucy make dessert for everyone.
