For the Readers asking for the appearance of Chris, Mark and the others, well, if there is who is wondering, unfortunately I don't know how to draw, and I suck at it (The Author <---- wants to be an animator) well, since I don't know how to draw, I went to google and searched for the characters that was closer to what I had in mind, also its not mine so credits who ever the artists are.

Chris -->

Mark-->

Merlin smiled as he saw his granddaughter that was to be his grandson now but no matter what form she took or how old she became, she will always be his lovely granddaughter that he doted ever since she was born.

Even though Merlin had many children, Chris was his most favorite since she inherited the pink hair of his late wife, "Chris, come here sit beside Grandpa" Merlin said as he pointed on the seat next to him.

"YEs grand father" Chris bowed and sat beside Merlin.

"*Sigh, you don't need to be so formal, I prefer the unruly one" Merlin said with a sigh

"Unfortunately, I cannot do that as it will go against the teachings of the family" Chris said.

"Hmmm... call me grandpa" Merlin said.

"No" Chris replied.

"Call me Grandpa this is your chance or else..." Merlin glared at Chris.

"No" Chris replied in a deadpan face.

"Guh! I seem to have to use my trump card" Merlin said with a pose.

"No matter what it is, I won't" Chris said.

"Oh really? you forced me into this! I should call Mark here to see if you could still act the same, Tommas!" Merlin called.

"Yes Master?" Tommas voice came from the other side of the door.

"Could you bring Ma-" Merlin wasn't able to finish speaking.

"wha!" Chris was immediately spook and tackled Merlin with a powerful charge.

*Bam!

"Oof!" Merlin groaned from pain as he was tackled to the ground, 'A sage being slammed to the ground twice today, this would be a disgrace' Merlin thought, 'Ah, my old waist is aching' Merlin groaned inwardly from pain.

"Ah! I'm sorry grandpa!" Chris just noticed that Merlin was in pain and immediately and helped Merlin from getting up.

Merlin looked at Chris and smiled, "You finally called me grandpa"

"*Sigh, please don't do that grandpa" Chris said with a sigh.

"Hehe, its your fault for not calling me grandpa in the first place" Merlin said.

"But its a rule that everyone of your grandchildren in the family has to call you grandfather" Chris retorted.

"What rules? are they above me? the patriarch of the Sullivan Family? in this family, I Merlin is the rule of this family, so give up and call me grandpa, my sweet granddaughter" Merlin had a first serious face on his first sentence but when he turned sweet when he said my sweet granddaughter.

Chris wanted to refute but she couldn't say anything so she gave up, "Ugh, fine" Chis said with a grumpy face.

"Yipiee! I won!" Merlin started celebrating like a kid.

"So what do you need grandpa?" Chris asked.

"Oh, I almost forgot about that" Merlin stopped and turned serious, he sat beside Chris and pulled out a paper from the table.

"You play that game right?" Merlin asked.

"That game? you mean?" Chris asked.

"Yes, The Alter Online that has been supported by top 500 companies" Merlin nooded.

"Yes, I do, I just wanted to play it with Mark..so...we could spend more time...together" Chris voice realized what he was saying and started to blush.

"No need to be so shy about it my granddaughter, I have known about it ever since you were 7 years old" Merlin said.

*Pssh!

Smoke started coming out from Chris's head as she blushed red as a tomato, "Haha, well enough of that, my granddaughter, I have a favor to ask to you and Mark" Merlin said.

Chris was surprised by what Merlin said, Merlin is the patriarch of the Sullivan Family, a single word of his alone could make the Sullivan Family move without sparing any doubts nor hesitation, if he told you to die then that person will gladly die.

So he was the absolute ruler of the family, he didn't need to ask for any favor at all, not to someone like her who was only one of the granddaughter's of Merlin, but seeing that her grandfather was sincere and always helped her when she was young, Chris didn't hesitate.

"Just tell me the word grandpa, I will do it" Chris said.

"Thanks for understanding my granddaughter, but since this is a favor from me, I will tell you the reason why I asked a favor nd not commanded you" Merlin said and took a sip from the hot coffee beside him.

"Its because of that little monster" Merlin said.

"Mark? why?" Chris asked.

"He is someone who could not be chained down by any restrictions nor rules, he is a wild beast who thirst for freedom no matter how free he was, let's say, an explorer not bounded by anything, wait no, cannot be bounded by anything" Merlin said.

"I- I don't quite understand" Chris said.

"Hmm, lets say, he is a bird that could reach any parts of the universe without limit, I hope you understood that" Merlin said.

"Yes, I understand" Chris nodded as she finally knew what he meant, "Then may I ask what favor are you going to ask grandpa?" Chris asked.

"Nothing much, what I wanted you and Mark to do is to manage the Sullivan Family in the Alter Online" Merlin said.

"Youi mean!" Chris was shocked immediately.

"Yes, you will be like the patriarch in the Alter Online" Merlin nodded.

"But the others won't agree to this!" Chris said.

"Oh, they will agree to it, because I said it" Merlin said.

Chris sighed and didn't say anything anymore.

"Oh, and also one more thing, you will attend a new school" Merlin suddenly said.
