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
Konoha is swallowed whole by the train demon. The two girls, Ninym and Shaymi, are left with pure shock. Both their knees dropped down to the floor. They would like to help Konoha. The question was how?An attempt to rescue was literal suicide. To both girls who had less experience in fighting high-level monsters. It's reasonable that their bodies are all petrified for the moment.“I already ate her! The evil incarnate is killed by me… Gyahahahaha!”The loud laugh of the demon echoed through the train.“Does that mean you’re letting us go?”Asked Specter.“Are you stupid? Why would you trust a demon's word? I’ll make everyone here kill each other and only the last one will go and survive.”“No way that is true either… The train incident stories specified that the adventurers and knights who tried to kill this demon all disappeared to nothingness. Just like what he did to Konoha, he's likely to eat all of us.”Four-eyes said.“Bingo! You’re smart, like your appearance… I'm confused abo
A demon can only be killed by destroying the heart inside of its body. It was one of the most basic things an adventurer must know. I wonder where he is hiding his heart? The huge explosion happened to destroy most of the train carts. Engulfing them all in flames. Still, the train demon was alive and going for me.I have to get the demon king's eye.I rotated my body in a hurry, but it was too late because the demon retrieved the demon king's eye. RepleniReng its magical power. The train cars turned into huge chunks of flesh connecting each other. Growing in size Konoha didn’t imagine. The demon transformed into a giant black viper. Opening its huge mouth, it sprayed out the violet poison that melted the boulder in an instant.“This is impossible. Let's just flee away.”Leona suggested.She seems to be the kind of woman who doesn’t give up easily. Considering how big her muscles are and the powerful magic she could use.“I can’t… This monster will kill a thousand or maybe more if I le
Flowers are in full bloom. Colorful petals dance floating in the air as the heavy wind blows. A wonderful scenery indeed. When the flowers are in full bloom, it only screams one season. Yep, the year has entered the spring season.Unlike the other day, Shaymi and I weren’t encountering monsters or demons.Walking on the trail going to the next town.“So beautiful… I wish every day seemed like that.”“Me too…” I replied. While looking at Shaymi who was playfully walking in front of me, I wondered what kind of thing she wanted to do in the future.Unlike me, she does have some plans in mind.This might be the perfect time to talk about it.“Shaymi?”“What is it?”“Um, I was wondering if Shaymi had a dream? Something you want to do or achieve.”Shaymi tilted her head. After a short time of thinking, she turned toward my face with a big smile, saying,“I would like to be a performer or an actress… I love playing roles. Back in the amusement park we did many role plays and I think it was s
A tough cookie like myself always begins his day with a nice cup of coffee. For us who dwelled in the shadows, making our living as spies, there was nothing better than taking up a cup of strong coffee to prevent our heads from feeling sleepy.Pumping ourselves full of coffee and drugs was the way of the world-weary. I mixed a drop of the medicine into my coffee and drank it down. This is my daily routine.I’d never been sure of what was in those drugs. I took them from a mail-order catalog. But they were super expensive, so I was convinced they were beneficial to my health.I took the cup and sipped it.“Bleh! So bitter…”This strong flavor was actually what banished sleepiness. Probably. That wasn’t written anywhere in the books, though. Coffee was bitter and gross and seriously tasted like mud, which triggered my gag reflex and made drowsiness my second priority.It didn’t taste anything like how they describe it in the spy novels. They wrote that black coffee was delicious or some
“What is the status of the matter with the evil mage?”When I returned to the office, the boss was wearing another sour expression.“As expected… I brought down the evil mage with my own hands! Right about now, that woman ought to be dying of embarrassment in front of the whole city!”My plan is flawless.The evil girl in question is now dying with her stomach twisted after drinking my poisoned coffee. My acting is very good and I’m never suspicious. She’s now unable to go out because of her stomach being unwell.The poison I gave her will result in laxative diarrhea. She probably poops on her skirt earlier. Feeling so much shame that she would rather crawl in a hole and die.I’m truly a genius.I told my plan to the boss.And here’s what my boss had to say after silently lending his ear.“So I suppose you saw her dead in embarrassment with your own eyes?”“Of course not.”Seeing someone dying is something I don’t want to see.“...”At this point, my boss let out a huge sigh.“You… Ok
