(Yuna’s perspective.) Ever since I was little, I thought everyone was insane. Everyone around me is working. Working as if they don’t think at all. Everyone is moving by someone’s order. Moving as if there was an invisible chain wrapped around their necks. Is everyone insane to throw their freedom away? Or is it just me who thinks like this? I questioned every day. My mother and father were both normal farmers until one day our land was destroyed by a demon kind. Having no place to go, the inquisition took us and made my parents workers. Having never been paid money, we can live in the city as long as we work. Given daily with stale tasteless bread. We are forced to mine fuel coal every single day. How are they allowing this to happen? My parents and everyone. I was baffled by that realization. As someone who was born from the outside. I do have dreams. I want to go out and see the world for myself. There was a book I used to read. A book containing wonderful places around the wo

The huge ball of flames unleashed by Red’s dagger quickly rushes to Rio. The demon girl defended herself by creating a wall of thick ice. Upon the two contacts of the elements. Thick steam spread around, limiting their vision. This resulted in Red having disadvantages. Unlike Red, Rio does have sharp senses. Her ears could hear the smallest footsteps and her nose could scent specific smells from miles away. Added to her ability to detect magical presence or energy around her. The thick steam becomes a thick smokescreen. Red took advantage without thinking. Or maybe he was consumed by anger and he wasn’t able to calm himself. All he wanted to do was exterminate Rio at that very moment. Red kicks the ground and goes straight to Rio’s back. By tracking Red’s energy. She already knew where the direction he was going. Rio intercepted with an upper kick, hitting Red’s jaws. After being hit, Red ignored the pain and immediately recovered to attack again. Yet, the result was the same. Rio i

I often think about waking up from a dream but at what point do we regain consciousness? Is it really when we wake up? Is it when we see familiar scenery and feel relieved that it was just a dream? “Mayu wake up… Mayu.” But… What if we don’t have a sense of reality even after waking up? … I opened my eyes and found myself in an unfamiliar room. My head hurts. I rub my head with my hand and notice some differences. I’m laying in a bed? This place seems to be a room. “Am I dreaming?” I said and pinch my cheeks. Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch. “I guess, I’m not dreaming.” I can feel the pain I guess I’m really not dreaming. Recently I’m still inside that dangerous dungeon. How in a world did I come here? All I remember is Retto, Kuroe, and Lumina's last glance toward me and everything whited out. I heard the voices of singing birds from outside. I stand up from my bed and look at what I see from the window. The refreshing scenery makes me remember the countryside of Japan. Except this

“Alright, this is probably enough…” Rin said while we are riding horseback. With us is Marry the healer. “Are they in this forest? Slime?” I asked. “Yes.” Maybe you are wondering why we are outside together. After a chaotic day, I left the fort with Marry and Rin. Because… “You want to go hunt monsters!?” “In the monster area?!” Rin and Marry were in a state of shock. They don’t really believe me when I said that I came from the Crystal dungeon. I already got the title of dragon slayer and assassin. Looks like they didn’t have the skill of status-check. If they have that skill, I guess explaining that I’m strong is easy. That’s why I wanted to show them that I can defeat monsters. “Yes” I replied. “No way! No way! It’s dangerous!” “I know, but it’s alright I can use some magic!” “But still…” Said Rn and hold both of my shoulders. I turn my head away and muttered: “I want to know about myself.” “Uh…” “My memory is Hazy so I want to confirm some things about myself and

Inside the captain's office. I’m currently asked to stay with her for the moment. “Here some cookies.” Said the captain's secretary Lily. “Thank you.” I accepted the offer and take one cookie then take a small bite. Upon biting, I notice how its sweetness is just exact and its texture is just right. This is what I call a great cookie. My eyes were sparkling and Lily already noticed that I like it. She smiled at me and leave the room. In the room, Only myself and Captain Yuri. Captain Yuri gets the item called a Status card. It’s an item that identifies the user's status. Marry already told Captain Yuri that I have a tremendous amount of magic, maybe she is just checking. “Sorry for calling you here suddenly, but I have to check you're status Mayu. If you are a runaway noble you should immediately return to your family…” Captain Yuri said. We’re still on that. “...Also, Marry said about you having some kind of memory loss. Maybe you suffering from amnesia because of some sort
