“Holessa!” Walter shouted in the middle of the heavy rain as he sees Holessa lying on the ground. Her face is pale white as it swims with the low level mud below her. Her forehead contracts as she feels pain from the strange nightmare she’s dealing with. Walter didn’t waste time to carry her back. Argos is on his way towards them too which added some help for her to carry back.
They brought her into their tent and let her lie down on the pile of soft clothes on the floor. Walter didn’t waste time to cast a healing spell on her. He puts his wide-open palm over her warm forehead. Small glowing particles traverse back-and-forth in the gap between them. The contraction from Holessa’s face gradually fades where she can sleep comfortably.
“Fever and colds, no severities. If this is real world, I can’t heal her in a day,” Walter commented.
“No one would, but I trust you in watching her, Walter. Don’t do
The kingdom of Aumoxozar is a tiny kingdom with a population of 137482 humans. Bordered by the walls of the crater from the meteor the kingdom was named from, the Aumoxozar mainly lives off tailoring, jewel crafting, and wood crafting.Aumoxozar itself is open but hidden under the plains and has a cold climate, which has led to a tightly concentrated population. The kingdom’s landscape is quite pleasant; relaxing hot springs, green, open fields, and half-frozen rivers are just a sliver of the allure Aumoxozar has to offer, which is why the country is beloved among foreigners. The people of Aumoxozar are polite towards foreigners and tend to welcome them with warmth. They feel foreigners could further finance the country's well-being.Aumoxozar has firm laws and law enforcement, which is fairly normal. The people are tormented due to failing crops, caused by horrible leadership. This is also reflected in the Kingdom’s insignia, which has a cross dividing a b
The sun’s ray blooms with the leaves of trees swaying together with the winds, greeting Walter a nice morning. As he enters the tent where Holessa is resting, his eyes suddenly widen after seeing Holessa already sitting from her bed made of a pile of clothes. She is staring blankly towards the end of the void, thinking about the past things she should have done. Her mouth goes dry while a heavy and numb feeling weighs her heart.Walter sighs and talks. “Are you fine?” He did not get an answer from her, instead, he goes out to prepare a soup for her. He enters the tent with the bowl in his hand and sits beside Holessa. He scoops a tablespoon of the soup and puts it in Holessa’s mouth but she didn’t open it. “Take this while I’m still patient. Don’t you want this?”Holessa shakes her head slowly to deny his offer. Walter puts the soup beside her so that anytime she can fill her stomach in case she calms and changed he
Argos gasps out of shock as he sees the collection of weapons and paintings hanging in the guild master’s room. They saw an old man standing and staring at the window where he can clearly see outside. He turns back and sees the two who just entered. Argos saw an old man wearing a thick kimono. Standing 5' 3" tall and with olive skin, this man has a respectable feel about him. He has soulless blood-red eyes and his mid-back length, lank, grey hair is lightly loose. He greets his guest and treats them like a family.“Hello, kids!”“Hello, grandpa Chasly!” Alex said with joy as he waves his hand in the air. Argos did not catch up with their connection, that is why he also copied what he did.“Hello, grandpa Chasly!”“W… Who is this, Alex?” The old man asks Alex but Argos replies.“Oh, hahaha! I apologize for the late introduction. I am Argos, and I am currently living in Algaur. I met
A few minutes later, Alex and Argos already finished their talk with the guild master and go down to the resting area. They wandered around for free space but it seems that the tables are already full, except for one. In the far left near the barrels, there is a table with four seats but only one person who is sleeping occupies it. They decided to share the table for just a small amount of time.“Excuse us,” Alex said and sits down. Argos sits in front of him. “How does your talk go?”“Nice,” Argos replied with a cold voice.“That’s just it? What did he say about the quest? Is he really aware of the details of the quest?”“He isn’t. He said that it was just a misplace and he deeply apologizes for you. In return, he will help us in facing Octagon,” Argos said. *I can’t say the whole reason why that quest emerged. They will just worry more to their guild master, causing a quantita
After the two women entered the alley, and the woman beside Argos bought the necklace, he runs quickly but stealthily towards the alley. Zak noticed Argos’s escape from his surveillance and runs after him.“Hey you, where are you going!? What crimes are you plotting again!?” Zak shouted, but Argos is already far from them, which makes what he says inedible. He sighs when Argos already enters the cave. “Alex, follow him. You two are close, right? I’ll keep my distance from here,” he said to Alex. After Alex followed through the alley, he noticed the girl who is buying the necklace staring at the alleyway with a blank look.She clasped her hand and holds the necklace tight. She then smiled as she stares back at the necklace and notices Zak staring at him. When Zak saw her beautiful face smiling with sweetness, his cheeks appeared red. He didn’t expect that she will come over him and hold his hand which in fact froze him near deat
*Guess I ain’t gotten dirty.* After going out the alleyway with his two co-players, Argos thought that his name is already dirtied, but the people seem not to care about what he did earlier. He thought Zak’s shout might have caused him some trouble, leading to misinterpretation. The people passing him seems not to care about the situation, except the necklace merchant he’d just spoken earlier with.“Guards can clear up the main road, can’t they do the same to alleyways? I thought I shouldn’t have to worry about bandit attacks here inside the city,” Argos said.“They are not facing slimes. Instead the lesser chance that it is stronger than them. Since we players entered here, the dark side seems to be getting stronger, and there is no denying that there’s a shade in it,” Alex said.“By shade, you mean Politics?” Argos asked.“Shhh. Not until we’ve gotten stronger than them,
In the dark side of the shadows filled with a thick gray smoke around him, Argos found himself tied in chains with his hands above him. His feet are also tied below, but the chains are connected into an endless pit. There is no ground nor skies that he can see. Everything is a darker cumulonimbus not until the smoke in front of him clears up.“Why am I bound? What exactly happened? I can’t remember anything.” Argos tries to shake his hands and feet out but the grip holds him tight of his spot. Suddenly, two small floating red circles glow behind the smoke in front of him. Every second, it gets near him. After the smoke clears up, he clearly sees the silhouette of a person with long hair approaching him. The approaching glow is coming from her eyes.“You…” The angered voice of a woman said as she walks toward Argos.“Who are-” Argos stuttered with trembling knees and frozen body before he got a clear picture of her
“Eh?” Argos tilts his head while lying down on his temporary bed.The man dilated his eyes towards Rillon as he raises his tone out of shock. “Hey, Rillon, apologize to him! We are not here to blame him. You are being rude from your life-saver.”“Why did you save me!?” Rillon shouted as she clenched her fists with her furrowed eyebrows. “Did I give you the permission to save me!?”“Hey, stop it!” The man said as he goes towards Rillion and touches her shoulder but Rillon avoids it. She turns back with an angered look towards the man.“You stop! Stop pretending to be my father…” She shouted while pointing her finger towards him, and later turns to Argos. “and you, stop meddling to other people’s business! You are nothing but a stranger!”She walks out the door with her stomping feet that creates a loud sound from the wooden floor. Argos left his mouth ha
