2024-10-29 19:42:56Half an hour before they met, Holessa’s mind is in chaos as she walks in the woods towards the haven. The dead leaves and pine needles are caught in clumps of moss as the moss winds around the tree trunks. The smell that enters her nose gradually changes from the fresh wildflower scents into the whiff of scorched ash. The more she goes near, the faster her heartbeats.
Adeline’s response yesterday made her overthink her parents’ situation. Her night is full of misery and sorrow, and her condition prevented her from sleeping, even after the whole day tiredness visited her. The restlessness dragged her to escape her tent half-packed.
She’ll only be able to pass through the last huge bush that blocks the view from the haven, but she doesn’t know what to feel not until she passed. Beyond is like a huge plain, and right now, she’s in the middle of the boundary between it and the forest. Unlike what she expected, what she has seen left spee

A Game With God Five Years Liability
It’s already five years looking back at the Oak Spirits past. Unlike the typical and dark witch’s village, the haven jolly blooms from the people’s smiles. The houses are still the same, but the touch of light colors is mixed with the medieval style. Concrete houses are for minimalists, with only a metal roof as their decoration.The haven has a self-sustaining economy that supports, weaponsmithing, cooking, and beer brewing, all the products of alchemy. But their biggest strengths are rare herbalism and intricate study patterns when it comes to science. However, Oak Spirit purely depends on magic and incantation. They’re completely defenseless when an anti-magic zone hits them.Between the haven is a giant tree that born glowing leaves as it sways with the morning winds. Even when outside the border, the tree can be seen. But entry in it is restricted. Around it is barriers within a five-meter radius. The witch guards maintain the security arou
A Game With God This is the Climax
It’s already four in the afternoon when Darius goes to Silvestre’s house as of his instructions. After giving him too much time to think about his decision in shutting down the research on the Phase Powder, Darius still debates his thoughts in his mind. As he knocks on Silvestre’s door, a woman and a doormat welcomed him with a smile. Gwendiane, Silvestre’s wife, has soft dark eyes, and her hip-length straight silver hair is worn in a French braid (but she doesn’t know what France is).“Oh, it’s you, Darius, just as Silv expected. Welcome to our house.”“Sorry for the intrusion, and thank you for a warm welcome. We shall accept your kindness,” Darius said with a kind bow.“We?” Gwendiane tilts her head out of confusion. Suddenly, a girl with a broom followed Darius after entering the door. Holessa stops walking towards her room after a warm bath after seeing her friend.“Adeline
A Game With God Ensured Graduation
Just the time Darius left early, Adeline is still in Holessa’s room. Her room is a simple medieval style with the touch of a witch’s cabin. There’s a bed, a wooden study table, and a lantern made of iron, and a candle. Because they’re not able to do their project in bed, they sat on the ground.They’re mixing chemicals with Holessa’s ingredients. Adeline brought only her only portable ingredient, Gloriosa Dame leaves, because their meet was unexpected. They’ve been talking about Imbasine since classes so she thought this is the time to test this restrictions-free. Holessa readied caged lizards for them to test their combinations.It’s handy for them that Holessa’s dad, Sivlestre, allowed them to use his tools and ingredients for study purposes. He already sorted out the dangerous chemicals and ingredients so their safety isn’t to worry about. Being a witch at the Oak Spirit needs a standard knowledge in alchem

“He… A… ACHOO!!?” Adeline coughed loud as she opens the door to her house. She puts the broom she is holding in the side of where the umbrellas are placed. As usual, the living room that welcomes the visitors has no one in it. A woman in an apron came out of the kitchen to welcome her.Hilnora, Darius’ housewife, stands 5’6 tall with an oversensitive feel. She has dull brown eyes and her closely shaved, curly, black hair is frequently maintained. She usually wears loose casual clothes. She’s not the type to go outside frequently. She went to Adeline and kisses her cheeks.“Good evening sweetie. How’s your day with your friend?” Hilnora asked with a smile.“My project, mom. It’s already done! Holessa helped me craft it,” Adeline exclaimed with a wide grin and gleaming eyes. She bounces from foot to foot while entering the living room.“Really!? That means you’re gra
A Game With God Wrong Shop
Unlike the usual office flooded with busy people, Darius came inside the building without even encountering a single person. The doors are wide open, but it doesn’t feel like it is giving its welcome to visitors. He didn’t bother being paired with ghosts, that’s why he went straight to the head covenant’s office and sees Silvestre smoking out the window, the same thing he always does.Darius went beside “Can I have some smoke?” Darius asked as he opens his palm towards Sivlestre.“I’m not informed that you’re a smug one.”“I’m just trying one. You’re always saying that this is your comfort. Well, this is the time to prove it,” Darius said. Silvestre didn’t hesitate to give him a stick of cigar. Just after Silvestre lit it, Darius inhaled the smoke like a water diver. His diaphragm twists, making him cough loud smokes continuously. His airless vomit made Silvestre laughs har

Darius plans on fetching Adeline by three in the afternoon. It’s already two, an hour before their meet, but Darius stays at the office to scan Vylleria’s documents for clues. He planned to stay in there for an hour, illegally, but his permission from Silvestre might give him a bypass.Meanwhile, Adeline is already outside the Vyldir’s blacksmith. She leans back from the pole of light while waiting for Darius to come. She didn’t mishear his instructions, and there’s no way she could forget that the time they’ll be meeting is at three. But her excitement to test her solution made her leave early.The sudden allergic reaction from the pollution enters her nose, making her sneeze that shake the ground around her. That caught the attention of the people passing the road near her. With her caving chest, a flush that creeps across her cheeks appears on her face. Suddenly, a girl’s voice that is as thin as a child’s called her.
A Game With God The Guardian Wolf
Thirty minutes have passed after three in the afternoon but didn’t see a glimpse of her dad yet. She puts her head on her wrist while her arm stands on the table. Her half-closed eyes stare at the pole she stands before as she fidgets her fingers while waiting for her dad.Thoughts of going home entered her mind as she thinks that her dad must be on some busy schedule after reminding her of the letter at his desk, but suddenly, he shows up after running while chasing his breath. Darius took a breather and stands straight after a long quick run. He sees Adeline sitting at the blacksmith’s table while waiting for him.“Dad!” Adeline said as she walks close to him.“I’m sorry for such a long wait, Adeline. I lost track of time. The head covenant suddenly assigned to me a job that needs heavy responsibility,” Darius explained while still catching his breath.“It’s okay, dad. We can postpone this first if y

“What do you think this trash will do?” Darius asked in a deep tone voice that Adeline didn’t hear before. He gave her a more intense feel by looking down at her from his tall head. Adeline’s fear came back after fading from the relief of being safe.“T… Trash?” Adeline stuttered with her mouth falling open. Her eyes widened after seeing a new side of Darius which seems like he’s possessed by someone.“Sleep you say? Do you think it’s helpful? Who wants sleep to be his ability anyway? That’s the most embarrassing study I’ve ever heard. Would you mind explaining to me why not?” Darius walks in front of Adeline with a smug face.“It’s… it puts s… someone into sleep longer than a basic spell?” Adeline starts shaking as she holds the bottle in her trembling hands.“Is that a question, huh? Someone? Do you mean a person? So you’re planning

You Must Not Have That
Argos and his platoon already set up for their journey to the Aumoxozar Kingdom and its nearby towns. Even if would take too long for them to accomplish their task, which is finding a veteran doctor with the exchange of the Golden Rin. With the luxuries and comfort that Argos provided them, Alex and Zak didn’t hesitate to join his squad. They considered it as a mode of payment for his deeds.“Head check! I already have Zak and Alex. How is everybody doing?” Argos asked as they gathered near the hill where Loic’s cave is located.“Holessa and I, ready to go,” Loic as he puts his hand on Holessa’s right shoulder.“Argos!” Suddenly, a tiny girl’s voice caught Argos’s attention.“Sevy! Are you fine now… why are you with this guy? He should be bound back there,” Argos asked as he narrows his eyes towards Ranulph. “Are you doing something malicious? If you d

The Third Revelation
Still the same night where Holessa caught Walter talking to one of the affiliates of the Octagon, Iris Borguignon, which is really a mysterious adventurer, Saga, Walter and Saga tries to simplify their understanding of their world. Even if it is only a short time left, Walter did his best to create an explanation that will not trigger the World’s forbidden banner.“So you came in here as heroes? What are you really planning to do?” Holessa asked but Walter replied with an unusual and childish answer.“I already devoted myself to restoring this world.”“You are really into this, kid Walter,” Saga commented and chuckles.“I am taking a hard time right now because of a sudden decision that you did. Damn you Saga,” Walter complained as he gives Saga furrowed eyebrows.“It is fine if you are already tired of explaining. There is still time. Walter is always with me anyway so he can answer my qu

World Restoration
“To put it simply, there is a man who used high-class alchemy to preserve lifeforms in an orb. He longs to put human souls in some container right after they died. I know that is impossible, but that man did whatever he can in which he succeeded.“The samples of orbs that he had reached a huge space that it nearly overloads, and he needs to solve it as fast as possible else he will be classified as a murderer. After he succeeded with a faulty orb, he created a world wherein those orbs will mimic a human body so that they could interact with each other even after they died. As there is a person that dies every day, their souls are gathered by this man, giving them a new and interactive home. That world is the world where we are stepping right now, Cordale,” Walter explained to Holessa the situation of the world as simple as he can without triggering any violent triggers from the Mishima system.“What are you getting into?” Holessa asked as

The Birth of Cordale
The forest was vast, gloomy, and blooming. Its canopy was claimed by juniper, willow, and magnolia, and occasional openings in their crowns allowed plenty of light through for a hodgepodge of sprouts to make use of the rich grounds below.Silent branches embraced the occasional tree, and a potpourri of flowers, which were common to this area only, added some bright touches to the otherwise amber scenery.A disharmony of wild noises, most belonged to critters, resonated through the air, and were in harmony with the rustling of the leaves and branches of the treetops in the wind.“Starting tomorrow, Holessa, together with Loic, will set out to find her sister. You should follow her. Maybe that can be your chance to clarify things out,” Walter said to Iris as he gives her a new set of commands.“Who’s following who…” A voice said behind Walter, which give Walter goosebumps. As he turns back, he sees the one he wished not to h

Small Squirrel Quarrel
The night came when the full moon shines throughout the forest while everyone is already asleep. Walter checks everything around him so that he can make sure that no one is following him. Without further ado, he left the site without any trace of his disappearance. He went not so far in the northern part of the Haslita plains and waited at a huge boulder of rock from the forest. While he sits in the stone boulder, he hears some whooshes of the bush behind him.“If you are appearing, can you please give me a sign that is more recognizable to humans,” Walter complained with crossed arms.“Are you sure no one followed you?” Iris said after appearing behind Walter but is looking at her left.Walter turns back and asks her the reason for a sudden appearance. “I’m better careful than never. What is the reason you are here? Did you miss me?”“Eat your balls, Coulomb. I’m here to check up for the Golden Rin. I

Holessa checks for Sevy at her tent but unexpectedly, she isn’t there. Meanwhile, at the cave where Ranulph is caged, Sevy spends her time thinking on the side of the wall of the cave. It might be dark, but because Ranulph is already two days staying in the dark, even with the small lighting from Loic’s room, he can see her lost hope in life.“You really are a strong one, kid. Do you want to be here too? I wouldn’t recommend copying me, else they might do the same to you,” Ranulph said but he didn’t get a reply from her. He thinks of a way so that he can be close to her but he didn’t expect to be suppressed by her. “Do you want me to tell you a bedtime story?”“Just shut up, you ridiculous chief!” Sevy shouted with rage against him.“Woah. I get surpassed by a kid! Sorry for all of that…” Ranulph apologized bowing his head towards her. But because Ranulph is a fool, he did not g

A Change of Plans
Just later that afternoon, Loic brought Argos to their own tent. After Argos opens the tent doors, he sees everyone gathering beside Zeus. He just realized that they started the party without him, the initiator.“Hi, guys. Welcome to my blog,” Argos said.“Did Loic slap you? You seem fine by now as I can see,” Holessa said.“More like a slap of reality,” Argos replied and adds. “Is that true, Holessa!? That powerful witch is your sister!? I already had a hunch since I have met her.”“Celestia, she is one of the top rankers in the Oak Spirit ever since the incident five years ago happened. The coven prevents her from casting some common spells because she finds them destructive as she can’t control them well. It once threatened the village by making it rain with toxic acid, causing minor casualties,” Holessa explained.“Acid rain? I think it is already normal,” Alex commen

Cat Pretender
In the afternoon, Argos sits on the cliff in front of Loic’s cave as he watches the art and wonders that the sunset makes. He is completely blanked out together with the quietness that he is gasping. His foot swings while feeling the swing of the air that collides with him. But the calmness of what is around him isn’t synchronizing with what he has in mind. Meanwhile, Loic came up of his cave and sees Argos spending his time alone. He sits beside him so that he could ask what is wrong.“Do you want some drinks for chilling?” Loic suggested.“Why are you here? You distracted my way of thinking,” Argos complained with a cold tone.“Are you really thinking, or you are just regretting your past actions? Either way, it won’t help you calm down. Get some refresher. I can assure you that everything here is fine. The villagers are all safe, and the race against time is already finished,” Loic said.“But

The villagers easily escaped with the help of Argos and his party, but the problem is where they will reside. In order to stop enemies from tracking their path, they detoured a long route but their destination isn’t the campsite, but towards the Haslita woods. Holessa and Loic fully welcome the villagers for a temporary stay, but the mood they brought back isn’t a touch of victory but internal defeat.Just after going to a new home with all of the people downed, Loic crafted a cross using wood and buried it on the ground to pay respects to Old Marza and her heroism. With her veteran medic title, all of the villagers attended a short ceremony to thank him. The most affected individual are both Sevy and Argos because they saw clearly with their eyes what happened, and the regret is still inside their hearts.Two days after…The villager already set up a tent for each of the families affected. They placed their tents the same way as what it was l
