“Please…don’t leave me here all alone, Snow…” Two tears trickled down Nimym's cheeks, dripped, and landed on the large feather lying on the ground. The drops sprinkled. That pale blue feather was the only remaining memento of her family and friends. Snow, the only friend and partner she’d known for many months. Just a few minutes ago, Snow had died, bravely protecting her master. The monster’s weapon had delivered the final blow, and Snow had given a single, lonely cry, then shattered like ice. Just one long feather remained, the feather she so cheerily flapped whenever called. … Nimym was a spirit arts user. A class not often seen in this world. Spirit art users specialize in manipulating spirits and spirit energy. They make bonds with the spirit and be friends with them. It sounds easy, but being one is very hard. To be a spirit art user, some requirements need to be met. The spirit user must have no mLenny in his/her heart. This first condition alone was almost impossible to so
“I’m sorry.” The light brown-haired girl said again. Ninym desperately blinked back tears and shook her head. “…No…It’s my fault…I was stupid. Thank you…for saving me…” She had to squeeze out the words between stifled sobs. The girl slowly approached, knelt before Ninym, and spoke hesitantly. “That small feather dragon… Is not a monster, right?” Ninym nodded and replied: “My friend was a spirit.” “It's not too late… there is still a way to save your friend.” She wiped her tears away and got confused about what Konoha had just said. Living things that have died won’t be coming back. It is true, but that law is not applied to everything in this world. For example, was spirit life. Spirits are creatures that will have the ability to live in a thousand years. They could still die, just like what happened to Snow. But there is a way to revive your spirits. And that path is something Konoha wanted to present to Ninym. “There is a possibility that we can revive her using the spiri
In the middle part of Freiven city, there was one big restaurant. Konoha entered together with Ninym. Surprised, Konoha was greeted by someone. “Konoha! Here I have already got our table reserved for us.” Waving her hand, it was the little girl called Shaymi. After hearing her call, Konoha, together with Ninym, walked toward the table and sat down beside each other. Ninym looked at Shaymi. Shaymi immediately got an impression of Shaymi being Konoha’s little sister. But on second thought, she was calling Konoha by her name and not calling her big sister. “Who is this girl?” Asked Shaymi. “She’s a new friend, I discovered earlier.” “I was discovered?! I felt like I was compared to some kind of monster or animal…” Ninym turned and glanced at Shaymi. “My name is Ninym, nice to meet you… Are you Konoha’s little sister?” “Nope, I’m not… Konoha is like my traveling partner. There is no place for me to go anymore. That’s why I’m traveling with Konoha.” Having no place to live or place
Before the sunrise. Konoha, together with Shaymi and Ninym, immediately goes toward the train station. They got their tickets immediately and rode the long train. It was Shaymi’s first time riding a train and it excited her. Her pupils beam in light and her body is giggling. She thought that this long mechanical vehicle was some sort of dragon told in ancient books. Ever since Konoha and Shaymi started their adventure together they have always been riding carriages, but mostly they are both walking on foot. From one town to the next. It was horrible for a little girl to walk long distances. But it is something that is already explained to Shaymi. Shaymi doesn’t have any complaints since Hanyuki is the one protecting her and giving her food. Excited but still sleepy, the two girls, Shaymi and Ninym, end up sleeping in their seats waiting for the train to reach their destination. Konoha, meanwhile, decides to stay vigilant and focus on her. Last night, the adventurer eavesdropping o
After the defeat of the Luster Dragon. An altar appeared in the middle of the boss's room. Konoha gestured her hand toward the altar and grinned. Her smile was like saying that the grief of losing a friend is finally over. Ninym was overjoyed and immediately walked to the altar. The altar glows in brilliant blinding light for a few seconds. The light formed a small gem with all imaginable glowing inside of it. “So pretty.” “The spirit gem will only appear to the spirit user with a great bond with her spirit friend.” Holding with both of her hands. Ninym's tears drop on the gem. “I can see my friend again… Thank you so much Konoha.” “I’m happy that I could help. Too bad we can’t revive her inside this cave. The spirited game has a condition on item activation. It needs to be nighttime to activate the gem.” Tears were still in her eyes. Ninym wiped it with her arms. Smiling while looking at the spirit gem. Before the luster dragon reproaches again. They made their way out of the
After the ambush, Konoha immediately calls the knights and hands over the band of thieves she had just caught. The knights are delighted by Konoha’s assistance in capturing the wanted woman. Leaving plenty of rewards for Konoha. Without hesitation, she took the money and waved her hands. The day was over and they were all returning to the Inn. Inside the room, Konoha finds the perfect opportunity to have a conversation with Ninym. “Sorry… Our meeting wasn’t an accident. I’ve been tailing the woman named Rosa this entire time… I’m looking for proof if she is truly the leader of the Raven thieves. Finding a perfect opportunity to capture her.” Ninym listened carefully to the apologetic Konoha. She shook her head and took a glance into Konoha’s eyes. No hint of anger or negative emotion was found in her. A nice smile was presented. “I understand… That means Konoha was there when I got into a fight with Rosa. Konoha was tailing Rosa. Then, I got worried about the girl who suddenly left
Wandering in a beautiful city which I don’t know. The buildings are all colorful and the scenery is very refreReng. Why I don’t know you asked? Well, that is because I simply just arrive here. The world is big you know it's not that I know every city in the world. Seating in a cafe, I have my note and pen with me. Writing down the memorable events that happened in my journey. This note is my journal... Nope, I want to call it “Travelogue”. Two years have passed since I decided to go on my own. With all my travels alone, I’m glad that nothing bad has happened to me. If it does, I’m sure I’m able to overcome such obstacles. “Miss, do you already decide the meal you're having?” The waitress approaches me. “I would like I fried chicken meal… But I can’t find any it's weird.” “Sorry, we don’t have fried chicken meal.” “That’s weird! It's delicious!” “I think it's weirder if we sell fried chicken meal this early in the morning. Besides we are a cafe, not a restaurant.” What's the di
Eula and I go to the slums. “I don’t have it anymore.” The tailed thief muttered. Eula grabbed her cloth and lifted her. “What do you mean by not having anymore.” “I was hired to stole it, Someone comes to buy it.” “Who hired you?” “I don’t have an idea… She gives me lots of money. With this, I and my siblings can get out of this place. We can live a normal life.” “I can see your dire situation, but that key is important to me.” Eula with anger keep on shaking the thief girl until she felt satisfied. Eula’s face was still raging on anger. “All I know is her appearance. She has long black-haired and has red eyes. She wears a black cloak with a star symbol.” “Star symbol… That means they are going after me. It's irritating!” Eula said and punch the nearby tree beside her. With her strength, the tree goes down. Looks like she can save herself earlier. I was skeptical looking at her. Eula with a fierce look on her face turned toward us. Facing the tailed girl and me. “I hav
“To create the world a better place… Using destruction to give birth to a new world. To make the world unified, we only need one leader. And that was the witch, the savior of this world.”“How is she going to save the world by destroying it? I can’t understand.”“Because you’re a lowly human who doesn’t know anything. The world and the system run behind everything!!”The tiger dashed at Yusael and threw a punch. His fist was caught by Yusael using her left hand. She grasps firmly tightly, and the tiger’s hand bleeds from her strength.The princess forcefully pulled him closer and forcefully swing her fist down at his skull again.“I said that won’t work!”The tiger replied.Yusael didn’t pay attention to his words and continued smaReng his fist into the tiger's head. Blood sprayed on Yusael’s armor and robe. The blood further tainted her pretty face.The tiger's face was unrecognizable. His flesh started moving to reconstruct his head.“My supreme regeneration ability will revive me o
After entering the steel tower with the princess, The Minion of a witch cult, who was seen by the angelic princess, was immediately defeated in one powerful swoop. Her incredible magic, light magic devoured enemies on our way.This is the true strength of Yusael Archangel.She turned her glance at me and gave me a smug smile.“Hmm, looking at me with sticky eyes… Are you falling in love with me?”“That’s not it.”I won’t call this love. I merely admire her strength.And as a man who always pursues power. I found her very alluring. She is brimming with quality and personality. I’m kinda surprised at how she could be talking to me casually, as if we have known each other for a very long time.“You always seem so serious like in the past.”The past times?I’m quite sure that this is our first meeting. I have no idea what she’s referring to.I have no interest in being connected with a famous person like her. It was better to leave some stones unturned.Fighting side by side with her made
At that moment, Ren left Konoha. Or to be precise, the time Konoha grabbed Ren’s arm and threw him directly at the steel tower. The long sword wielder charges his blade with skill and energy. Glowing in brilliant blue light. He hacked down his sword and created a massive burst of energy in one area.The blinding light vanished. Konoha was never seen on the ground. Zeha looked around searching. Concealing her magic and presence, the light-brown haired girl had her position right up above Zeha’s head.Her feet discharge lightning and Ax kicks Zeha from his head. Forcefully blowing him down to the earth. This wasn’t the full power of Konoha. She was serious. This attack was lethal and could kill her opponent immediately. The attack originally had a hammer-like a force that could blast off a human head. There were times before Konoha used this magic and added a sharp conjured blade to her feet.“Sword skill: Instant stance.”His body moves far instantly, creating a 20-meter gap between hi
“I’ll distract him… Lightning Flash.”Blinding light radiated from Konoha’s body. So bright even that I can see anything for a moment. I felt someone grab my arm and I was tossed away with such force.My body was flying straight to the steel tower. Before I have my head craReng into the wall that supposes to be made of thick iron. I pulled my sword and blast flames. Decreasing the force impact. I then have my proper landing on the ground.The steel tower had no window as the description said. Seems like I have no choice but to climb this tower from the bottom floor to the top floor.Konoha is very strong I know she can defeat Zeha with her strength. I shouldn’t worry about her. I have to think of a better way to climb the top of the tower on my own. The side of the tower where I’m currently where was the one facing the forest area. The battle seems to be continuously happening in the north and advancing.Taking another look at the tower. I won’t say this place is a tower. This place i
At exactly 6:00 PM, the adventurers are all deployed to steel island using a spatial portal. Our location was in the south mountain area. A place away from the ongoing battle between the knights of the four kingdoms and the witch cult. As much as possible Scarlet explained to us to avoid battle and go straight to our plan. The mission was simple, sneak to the steel tower and reach the top where the witch of darkness was.And kill her.“This mission is about killing a living breathing human being. Are you sure that you really want to come?”I asked Konoha whose on my side looking calm as she stare above the beautiful night sky.“I don’t believe in the witch of darkness.”“What do you mean?”“I mean, there is no such thing in this world that could destroy the world. If there is, why would they need to destroy this world? Without this world, they’ll also die. I not going to kill her… I’ll capture her. How about you? Are you going to kill her?”The witch of darkness was probably Hikari. T
“Are you sure about this?”I asked.“Yeah, give me everything you have.”Ren replied with her sword already pulled out from its sheath.We stand 10-meters away opposing one another.You must be wondering why the two soon-to-be lovers are currently fighting one another. The reasoning is quite simple. After the meeting held in the castle. We are ordered to prepare ourselves for the big fight happening tonight. The celestial city is near the steel island so there is no need to hurry.Had lots of time at our disposal before the real fight began. Ren suggested that the two of us fight one another.That brings us outside of Celestial city, at the shore near the Sapphire archipelago. The same shore where I met the candy coral pirate not long time ago. Stepping backinton this land brings back memories.I saw Ren use his sword many times. His sword ability is the most dangerous one. The flame on his sword could burn anything. The undying flames of the flaming sword. Flames will continue to bur
Adventurers participating in the mission gathered around the castle theater hall. Turning my head left and right. I could see plenty of adventurers, but not as many as I expected. The number of adventurers who attended didn’t even reach a hundred.“Ren, are we going to be okay?”I asked the man seating on my right.“What do you mean?”“I mean the number of us… There are over thousands of witch cults on the island right? Are we enough to fight those evil wizards?”“I can’t say for sure. But I heard that most of the people here are A-rank adventurers. Quality sometimes can beat quantity.”He speaks without turning his eyes onto me. He had a fixated eye on the stage waiting. On my left side, Alicia is looking a little nervous. Her head was placed low and her hands laying on her legs were shaking a little.“What’s the matter, Alicia? Is there something bothering you?”“I feared that thing might not go well for me… Early this morning I saw in the newspaper that I become a missing person. I
We reached the Celestial City without trouble. Well, there was trouble, but it's quite insignificant compared to the troubles I have been through these past years. Ren refused to give me something to eat and I nearly died of starvation. I was fortunate that there was an angel with us named Alicia who shared some of her food with me. The side that I liked and hated about Ren was his seriousness. What he meant is what he meant. There is no changing it… Probably…(Ren does change his mind sometimes. I just didn’t know how to trigger it. He is very unpredictable sometimes. Me being a cute girl doesn’t affect him at all. He's the type of man that doesn't chase cute girls. I like it, but the idea frustrates me sometimes.)This was my first time in the city. Like what I heard about the Celestial City. The city is nearly as big as the capital city. The difference is that this city is built on an artificial island and it is not owned by any kingdom. People in this place were said to be slaves,
Life is always important. Good or Evil... That is what I want to believe. I, Konoha travel previously killed countless people. I decided to value life more. It's been months since the last time I killed someone. I tried not to but she left me no choice.I still think about it sometimes. What is the possible way to save Audrey from her suffering? Why does innocent Shaymi need to die?The more I think about it, the more complicated it becomes. I try not to hate anyone. The concept of good and evil might be beyond me. Maybe it is beyond human understanding. Or maybe I'm an airhead who can't see the truth.Anyways, the lesson of the past remained. Even though I failed in sticking to my principle of not killing. I will continue to look for a way not to kill anyone as much as possible. It's the same way of thinking I want Ren to have.I put down my pen as I finished writing my Travelogue."Wait, something good happened earlier. Better put it too."I took my own again and wrote it down.Ren'
