Before sunrise, the snow fell, thickening all the layers of white coat that covered almost all the roofs of buildings, trees, and grass in the city of Sarmith. Shukar who felt the air getting colder woke up and threw some logs into the heater so that the fire burned bigger. He turned his head to the left and saw Ran sitting reading an old book."You do not sleep?" asked Shukar, shivering.Ran glanced then replied, "I was awake thirty minutes before you threw that lump of wood into the fire."Shukar rubbed his eyes then he walked to the bed and collapsed until he woke up when the sun was already hot. However, more and more snow fell like cotton grains deliberately sown by angels. After taking a shower and other things, they left the hotel to a market to look for information and breakfast."Hooray, let's have breakfast," said Shukar, raising his hands.They arrived at a fairly busy shop ordered two slices of bread and two glasses of hot tea and sat down at an empty table."Ahhh that's d

“This stone is fake!” shouted the middle-aged woman.She twirled the stone and looked at the details of the carving. Everyone was silent watching him panicking as if he had lost a child."Madam, are you sure it's fake?" asked a surprised Ran."I know that stone very well. Look,” the middle-aged woman split the green rock with both hands."It's chocolate in it," said one man.“That's a precious stone I bought at the auction. By having it I have high prestige,” the middle-aged woman panicked even more.Unexpectedly the middle-aged woman gripped the collar of Ran's robe. She begged Ran to take the stone back from the black-hooded man.“I would give you anything if you could get the stone back,” said the middle-aged woman.Ran thought for a moment. If he wanted to be honest, he did need money for supplies to Ramil. Although he had doubts, Ran accepted the middle-aged woman's offer."Okay, I'll take the stone again as long as you don't forget the promise you just made," said Ran.“This is

Ran ran fast towards the shabby building and the walls were peeling off a lot. When he opened the double doors, he only saw an empty room with lots of green tables. And there was one table that was broken almost split in two. "This is a gambling place," Ran said to himself. Not long after, a well-built man approached Ran. He asked what Ran wanted to come to this place. "What are you doing here?" asked the burly man. "I want to get into the black market," Ran replied. The burly man was shocked. Because he saw Ran for the first time. "You know where there's an auction on the black market?" Ran immediately showed a green card. The burly man was taken aback by what he saw. “VVIP card. Where did you get that from?” "I got it from the knick-knacks shop owner," Ran smiled. The burly man couldn't do anything. He invited Ran to come with him into a dimly lit hallway. Then stop at a double door on the right. After the burly man knocked, the double doors opened and the atmosphere was

Now the thread that Shukar had wrapped together felt stronger. He walked back to the corner of the room and tried to climb up the same way as the first time. When he reached the top, he let go of the handle and quickly hooked a metal hook onto the air vent grille. When his body fell, he grabbed the string tightly and he jerked it down so that the vent cap was carried away and fell along with him to the floor. Surely Shukar landed on both feet."I’m doing it!" Shukar jumped up while clenching his fists.After that, he repacked his things started up again, and entered this ventilation passage. It felt like the wind was blowing. When he reached the top, the ventilation tunnel stretched in two and formed a T. Here, Shukar was confused about which ventilation tunnel to choose. He finally calmed down and used his ears carefully. He faintly heard an inexplicable sound coming from the ventilation passage to the right. Shukar also chose the ventilation aisle by crawling."There are so many

Midday has passed. More and more snow is falling. The grains were blown by the wind and landed on the grass, roofs of houses, rocks, gardens, forests, and also Yuta's house. Erna and Erni are still busy cleaning the floor, couch, cupboard, table, and bench. When the heating stove's fire started to shrink, Erna rushed into the kitchen to get some lumps of wood and tossed them into the waiting room. The fire grew again and the room temperature became warmer. When they saw the front yard of the house that was already covered with snow, Erna and Erni took the initiative to clean it. Because their strength is limited, they only clear the path that Yuta will take when he gets home. "Looks like we have to clear the front yard of the house from the snow," Erni said while holding the mop and her eyes looking out the window. "Let's put on a coat first so that our bodies are warmer," said Erna. Erni nodded then they both went to the room to put on their coats. After that they opened the doo
