Dark and frightening surroundings, that’s how I am going to describe the surroundings I’m in right now. Screams of pain, howls of monsters, cries, and the silent sound produced by the once one how who already lost hope in their eyes. I’m brought inside an underground facility filled with cages.The carriage stopped moving.Monsters took us and put us on the ground. I’m the only one who seems to be a human. Two beasts, men, kids, and a small demon beast.A thin man approached us with a smile, ear to ear. He has a long nose and is wearing a tuxedo.He turned his gaze toward us. Inspecting every inch of our body. After the inspection, he turned his head to the spider monster with confusion.“A human kid as a slave… I bet this kid can’t even cook. She would be useless. The only one who will buy her is an ugly scumbag who likes harassing little girls when underage… I’ll give you five hundred gold coins for everyone.”“Just a five hundred gold coins? Mister Nux, please hear me out… warriors
According to statistics, there are about 200 beast-men living in Oise village. Most of them are fox-eared beasts and men. Just thinking about it got me excited. I can already feel their soft tails rubbing on my cheeks.Just like the map said, there was an open space in the mountain forest, and there was a settlement there.All of the buildings that stood next to each other were made of wood. There are fields that spread around the village, and it looks like they can live a self-sufficient life.Silhouettes could be seen here and there, and their tails can be seen even far away.“We can see Oise village.”My desire heightened.“Is this the tribe of your previous comrade?”“I’m sure about it.”This is the only beaten tribe of men on the whole demon continent. There are said to be other settlements, but that wasn’t specified on the map.Looking at the fox-eared beast… I started to remember Cake and her siblings. Bittersweet feelings immediately enveloped my heart. No matter how long it p
“What are you doing here?”“Wonderful, seeing Konoha here makes me realize that we’re connected by the red string of fate together. This is the best men's tribe and I’m planning on slaving them.”“Slaving?”Just like what they did to those people before. Those people became bombs and exploded.Angered at her claim, I gritted my teeth. Form fist on my hand. I want to destroy her because she is evil. But that will break my promise of giving people a second chance in life.Audrey said those words with a big smile. Rubs wrong on me.“... Yup, yup, they are wonderful creatures. They are physically strong and have high combat abilities. They’ll make great pawns in battle. Using my ability to make them, it was my puppet. I could have an army of them on my finger. And then…”“Then what…”“Hmm, What’s with the terrible face Konoha? This is for the greater good of mankind.”“What’s so good about stealing other people’s lives?”“I was disappointed in you, Konoha… I thought we'd reach an understa
The night came and I was glad no casualties were taken. The smile which I wished to protect was saved. The feast continued and everyone praised me with their praise and appreciation for saving their lives.“Your amazing, that lightning magic was too powerful. Honestly, that is the most powerful magic I have ever seen in my entire life… Seems like you saved my life again together with the whole village. We won’t forget this day in our entire lives.”Said Kuno with a big smile.“It’s nothing special…”“You’re being so mumbling… I like that attitude of yours.”I don’t know… Maybe, I’m just being a hypocrite like Audrey said to me. No matter how many people I saved, my hands are tainted with blood. I’m dirty and there is no way to purify me.“... I have already told the story about my comrades before… Cake, Rasp, and Berry. I’m unable to save them. They died with the same trick that girl did… I don’t want to feel the same regretful feeling again. That’s why I moved and saved everyone. I’m
The sun was brightly Rening overhead. The large ring of light cast over many shadows in Crimonia city. We could say it was a sunny day, but the sun's heat wasn’t enough to take over the chilly winds surrounding the city.Taking off my clothes and washed both from top to toe. I happily walked toward the hot spring and dipped myself.“ A hot bath is the best way to relax…”After many battles, my shoulder became stiffer. Normally, this won’t happen. These following days, I have gotten a lot busier, I think. Usually, I was aimless at my destination. Right now, I’m looking for places I want to go to and hope I have got fragments of my memories.My head is still vague about the memories I gathered. First, I have this blonde girl holding my hand. Her face is blurry, I can’t remember what exactly she looks like. All I know is that her head is warm while holding mine. The surroundings are covered in white. Second, the memories of the black-haired girl. She is showered with bright light. Snappi
The train starts moving abruptly, and the immediate claReng of the steel wheels against the railway tracks echoes through the train car loudly.The inside is normal. No demon presence was indicated. But we all know for users that something is wrong here. Manual train doors won’t open on their own. Second, there is no train duty at that hour and there is no driver at the head.“We should keep moving forward… There is a huge chance that the demon king's eye is located on its head.”Yana said.“There is not so much space inside. Moving around fighting would be a huge task.”I agree with Seth’s statement. Swinging swords and casting magic inside the train is difficult. There is a chance that we might hurt each other as a result.Looking at the plate on the train car. We’re currently located in the 5th train car.“Hima, where are you going?”Asked one of the men.“ It's getting got here, with everybody. I’ll walk opposite from the head and search for some hint about the demon train. I’m qu
“I’ll save my beloved… Even if it means killing everyone here.”Seth said with an insane look on his face. He lifted his ax, pointing directly to Yana. Yana made a sigh comprehending the happening. After her brief pause, she took her sword, making a sword stance.“I won’t hurt you… please calm down and don’t let your mind be consumed by demons. Kotori isn't real. There is no Kotori in a revolutionary group.”“Kotori is real! She is real! We made a promise!”Seth retorted, he came daReng with his ax brandished. Attempting to chop down Yana. Yana defended herself by blocking the blade and kicking Seth away from the distance.The kick rocked Seth’s body. His hand slipped his handle. His ax fell on the floor with a metallic sound.“Calm down… Collect yourself…. You’re better than that…”“Kotori is the most important… I’ll kill everyone and save her…”Seth’s eyes went down and his body was knocked unconscious.“Don’t worry, I simply put him to sleep before he did more troublesome things. T
12 years ago, the human empire, the Autumn country.“The big cat always chases the small mouse. The small mouse is extremely intelligent and always avoids the traps created by the big cat...”The ill little girl placed the book down when she heard footsteps from outside. Her mother and father were right beside her. That means, there is only one person who owns those footsteps.She turned her head with a big smile. When the door opened, the big sister she anticipated arrived. She wears thick clothing head to toe.Despite the country being called Autumn country. The country always experiences a very long period in the cold season. Enveloping the whole country in white.“Daddy, play catch with me.”“That’s a boy's thing… You should go inside and learn how to make a sweater with your mother.”“Doing girly things is too boring… I would like to play with wooden swords.”“I have to look at your ill sister… Go outside and play with someone.”The father said and put his head down. The girl saw
