After stabilizing his emotions, Lukas turned his attention to the object that he just pulled from the ground.
It was an old leather notebook. One that looks yellowed and withered by time.
As if at any moment, if a harsh wind blew by, it would disintegrate to dust.
However, despite its appearance, the notebook actually holds well together and even exudes a mysterious charm.
Looking at it, Lukas felt his emotion stirring.
"World Log…"
That's the name of this notebook.
A notebook that solely exists to record everything that happens here. In this small original void.
This is what he learned from the information he just received.
Thinking of this, Lukas gently touched the leather cover.
Then slowly opening it, words written in bold letters appeared in his sight.
[World Log].
Those letters are not written in gold, but they seem to glimmer with brilliance and primeval power from within.
After staring at it for a moment, Lukas gently flipped to another page.
A solitary entry in the log appeared in his sight.
[Day 1: The Seed of Origin Void has sprouted.]
"A sprout…"
It was a short and concise line, recording the event that has just taken place in this small 'world'.
Beside that one line, there is nothing else written on the notebook.
This is not surprising.
After all, Lukas just awakened his seed, so there is really nothing else to record.
…
With his curiosity satisfied, Lukas closed the notebook.
With a move of his mind, the World Log suddenly turned into a streak of light and flew toward his head.
The next moment, the World Log appeared inside Lukas' consciousness.
Now in the center of his mind space, an ancient notebook floated quietly, radiating with mysteriousness and ancient aura.
Seeing that, Lukas smiled with satisfaction and said, "With this, I can always view the records of the Origin Void with just a thought."
What he just did is something that he learned from the knowledge he just received.
Through this, he can see the record of the origin void anytime he wants.
That way, he can better understand every change and every event that will take place inside it at all times.
"Now then, since I've been here for quite some time, I should head back out now."
Nodding to himself, Lukas took one last look around him.
The next moment, he also disappeared. Leaving a desolate world with seemingly nothing in it.
…
As he disappeared from the Origin Void, Lukas found himself in bed the next second.
In the same position he slept last night, he was lying down on the bed.
The sun is already streaming in from the window, landing on his body.
Looking beside him, Bela is not there.
"She must have already gotten up."
With that thought, Lukas also stood up and tidied up the bed before leaving the room.
As soon as he got out, the smell of food wafted through his nose, leading his steps to the kitchen.
There, he found Bela, who's already busying herself making food.
Hearing the footsteps behind her, Bela turned around and saw him.
"Oh, you're here." She said, "Where have you been?"
"When I woke up you're already gone. I was surprised that you left bed so early despite getting drunk last night."
While saying all of that, Bela didn't stop with her work, skillfully handling the pan and the fire on the stove.
Listening to her words while watching her cook, a smile quietly appeared on Lukas' face.
Walking up behind her, Lukas suddenly embraced her and rested his chin on her shoulder.
With a gentle voice, he whispered, "I'm really lucky to have you, Wife."
Feeling Lukas' warmth on her body, a faint blush spread on Bela's face.
Looking at him, she asked with concern, "What is up with you so early in the morning, Husband?"
Bela's question is not because she's not used to Lukas acting sweet.
In fact, sweet and gentle is what Lukas is like even on ordinary days.
The real reason she asked is because she can feel something. The gentleness that Lukas is exuding and the energy he's giving, there is something different.
And this slight change made her concerned for him.
However, instead of directly answering, Lukas kept his silence, closed his eyes, and just enjoyed the feeling of embracing his wife.
Then after a while, he opened his eyes and finally said, "I'll tell you during breakfast. Is the food about to be done? I'll go and wake up Chloe."
"Oh, okay, go and wake her up now. This will be done soon."
Letting go of Bela, Lukas gave her a gentle kiss on her cheek before turning around and heading to Chloe's room.
Standing alone in the kitchen, Bela touched her cheek with a blooming smile on her face.
…
Chloe's room.
Standing on the side of the bed, Lukas looked at his daughter who's sprawled on the bed with a bit of drool on the corner of her mouth.
The blanket that's supposed to be covering her is already kicked to the ground.
Lukas could only smile helplessly at the sight.
"What a restless sleeper you are."
Crouching down and poking the chubby cheeks of his daughter, Lukas softly said, "My Princess Chloe, are you awake now or are you still sleeping?"
At the sound of his voice, Chloe's long eyelashes fluttered for a moment before remaining still.
She didn't open her eyes and seemed to be deep in her sleep.
However, as her father, Lukas is aware of Chloe's mischievousness.
So, seeing that she didn't move, he smiled and said, "Hmm, it seems Chloe is still sleeping. I guess I can't bring her out with me later, huh."
At those words, the previously still eyes of Chloe suddenly snapped open.
Hurriedly getting up from the bed, her eyes immediately focused on Lukas.
With excitement, she asked, "Is that true, Daddy? Will you bring me out with you?!"
Looking at his daughter staring intently at him, Lukas smiled and tapped her small nose with his finger.
Then he gently said, "If you get up now and eat breakfast with mommy and daddy, I can bring you out with me later."
"Okay! Then I will get up immediately, Daddy! Let's go, let's go!"
The little girl immediately left the bed and reached out for Lukas' hand, dragging him out of the room.
Seeing so enthusiastic, Lukas chuckled and followed her out.
…
At the dining area.
The table is already filled with warm foods that were just cooked by Bela.
One of the chairs was also already occupied by her, just waiting for her husband and daughter to arrive.
When she saw the two of them coming out of the room, she beckoned at them and said,
"Hurry up and sit down. Let's eat now."
After the father and daughter sat down, the family of three started their meal.
In the midst of their meal, Lukas broke the news of his awakening to Bela.
"Wife, remember what I told you earlier?"
Trying to sound casual, Lukas looked at her and said, "Actually, what I wanted to tell you was that I awakened my seed."
Hearing that, Bela just nodded and said, "Oh, so that's what it is. You awakened your seed, huh."
But after those words sunk in her head, she froze.
She slowly turned her head to face Lukas with incredulous eyes and repeated, "Awakened your seed?"
"You awakened your seed, Husband?!"
Watching her reaction, Lukas smiled happily, showing his teeth.
Nodding his head, he said, "That's right. I finally awakened my seed, Wife!"
With his confirmation, Bela felt her world undergo a huge change.
The next moment, she bursts into tears.
"Huhuhu, husband. That's good, husband. Huhuhu, you finally awakened."
Tears streamed down her beautiful faces, dampening her skin.
Lukas smiled. He knows his wife and also understands why she's crying.
Bela knows how much he wants to awaken and how much of a blow was it to him when it didn't happen during his 18th birthday.
Now that he finally got what he's been dreaming of, Bela is the one who's happiest beside him.
Those tears pouring down on her face is the joy and relief that she feels after hearing the news from Lukas.
Thinking of these, Lukas put down his spoon and hugged her.
Slowly caressing her back, he whispered, "It's okay, Wife. Everything will just get better from now on."
