In distant land away from the universe. A lovely girl reading a book while enjoying her tea. On the middle of the table was one candle. Its light illuminates the whole library of knowledge.“Oh, hello there… Who am I talking to? I’m talking to you… That’s right, you… Many people think this is fourth wall breaking, but trust me I won’t spoil too much in the story… We can say I’m the narrator of this grand story. My name is Akashic, inside this big library were the life records of everything living in the universe and multiverse. I know everything from the smallest life form to the biggest one… In whole universe I’m the only one who knows the truth. A truth that gods don’t even know…”She shook her head left and put her pointing finger on her forehead doing her best to think.“About myself… beside knowing everything and being so pretty… Honestly, I have nothing else to say. I might know everything but I’m not god… Let's be clear with that fact… Moving to the story, right now we are fol
The other princess“I apologize for earlier… But I think you were in deep trouble earlier. That’s why I helped.”“Are you thinking of me as someone weak?”“N-No… Someone who dares to fight a dragon is formidable enough. Your strength and sword weren’t enough to kill that dragon. You’re sword broken… without any weapon to use, how are you going to defeat that flying lizard?”“Well…”The girl was speechless and biting her tongue. She turned her back on us for a brief moment to think. After that, she turned back and said,“Umm… You got me there… I was indeed in a dire position earlier… Thank you for saving me. Are you four travelers from another continent?”“Yeah, I’m Eula and those four are my companions. The light brown-haired girl is named Konoha… The catgirl is Cake, together with her siblings Rasp and Berry.”“Rasp… Berry… Cake… Sounds delicious. Their mother must love that cake.” She started drooling. Turning her glance at me. “Konoha? It's a weird name.”“I’m a fox, not a cat!”I k
“Ara, Ara, Konoha got captured… Seems like the other princess is not as kind as Eula. Well, something is to be expected. It is already established that royalty is full of trash.”Akashic took a potato chip and took a crunch.“Hey… hey, I’m talking to you reader… Please don’t ignore me like that. It hurt my feelings… Anyways, what kind of potato chips do you like? Hmm… What about me? I like salty-flavored potato chips. It's simple and great. I think simple things are the greatest. Not fancy, not cheap… That’s why you can see me only wearing a normal shirt and skirt… Oh, you can’t see me? Well, that’s to be expected. The point is… I’m not a fancy girl at all… Where are we again? Currently, on Konoha’s travels, she meets the other princess called Noah. Events happening are getting rough for the Konoha who don’t know anything… The worst event could teach people lots of lessons. Of course, it's a good thing and a bad thing at the same time. In the end, Konoha will decide if she will turn i
I fell to the ground with a jolt of lightning following my landing. I wheeled my glance around and saw myself already surrounded by a group of knights. Their sword was already drawn, pointing toward my head.I immediately switched to combat mode. When the knights stepped back and made way for one knight, he was a knight wearing emerald-colored armor. A pointy helmet and a giant spear in his hand.“Just like the princess said, you’re someone we need to watch closely… According to the report, the Golden knight and the Mountain smasher knight were killed by a magical lightning user. It was a shame. They are both men with integrity and focus. A strength I look forward to in the future. Now that they are dead, I seek payback… I, Spearhead, commander of the 2nd knight squad of Arsland kingdom, will personally take you down… Evil Incarnate.”He took his time talking for so long. I took the opportunity to attack. DaReng forward, I curled my fist with lightning and punched his stomach.“Lightn
“I can smell the sweet scent of a little girl coming out of you. It makes me excited. I’m already turned on.”Gross… This man is gross. Breathing heavily and his eyes fixated on my body.An iron cage fell from above. Imprisoning me and the disgusting knight together. This match is called Deathmatch. The only way to get out was to kill my opponent.….…..Before I found myself in this situation… Last night, after following Chelsea, I met up with the leader. He's the Guild leader and one of the few adventurers who can fight the knights currently taking over their country.“Good evening.”“Same here.”The one who greeted me was a man in his mid-thirties. He doesn’t have anything on top. Revealing his masculine body and scars scattered all over.He looked at me with glaring eyes. Making me a bit uncomfortable.“I can’t believe that you killed my rival in a few seconds. I saw everything in how you cut him in half.”His speaking to the commander. Is he upset because I killed his rival? He to
After the battle, I was paid a handsome amount of money. I was informed that the death match is the highest paying match in the underground fight club, but I never thought it to be this much.On the other hand, I don’t have any complaints. Having these lots of money means lots of food and supplies for the people living in the sewers. I bought lots of food supplies for a week or several times a month. Free food for everyone was served. The kids and elderly eat their meals with bliss.I was happy with the outcome.The fight promoter was a nice man. He kept my identity a secret. He gave me a map of Ark. The ark is staying in this country for one more day, according to the promoter. I don’t have time to waste. When the sun fell down I had to make my move and save Eula from Noah.The promoter must have a personal grudge towards Princess Noah, leading him to give me useful information about Ark. The most useful one is the main room where the princess is staying.“Is this fine? Is it fine to
“Thank you for buying come again next time.”The clerk said and handed over a piece of bread into my hand. I took the bread and put a gold coin as payment.“Gold coin, this is too much… One bread only costs 10 copper… Miss, are you listening… This is too many. We don’t have enough coins for change. Do you have 10 coppers?”I could hear her and not.I turned my body away from the clerk and said:“You can have the change… I don’t need it.”After walking away from the bakery, I sat down in the bench chair at a community park. It's early in the morning, lots of people are already here to visit.I turned my glance at the bread in my hand. I took a small bite and tried to chew.(This is just a nightmare.)I heard Berry’s words and had my stomach turned upside down.(... I thought you were strong, but in the end, everyone died… Don’t worry about me. I’ll go meet them myself… Weak people like myself deserve to die after all.)No! No! No!I was able to save Berry from the massive explosion, bu
Stars and a big full moon were shining brightly in the sky. Illuminating the giant city below. City lights and the noise of the nighttime market made the city livelier.I was standing up high in the tall walls surrounding the city of Everfloria. Right now, all I can do is wait for the arrival of my prey before they land in this city.The mysterious girl gives information about the next action princess Noah will take. And this wonderful city is next on her list.Before it's too late, I have to save these people from this evil princess. I’ll do anything so that these people won’t meet the same tragic fate I saw in my two eyes before.“I can feel the Ark nearing already… I have to set up a strong barrier.”I put my hands together and took out a book from an inventory card. It was a magic book about barriers. I read the long chant written in the book and it is called the magic word.“Night barrier!”The night barrier is a commonly used magic barrier that separates an area using a black fo
“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'
