The roof is secure, food is secure, and money is secure. I could stay here in the capital city for one week before going to my next destination. There are lots of things here to enjoy. This is called the capital city for a reason. Sure, everything is quite more expensive than in other cities, but that is something I already expected.I would like to study something in the library. Yesterday, the Knowledge library suddenly went on fire. The cause was unknown. The bookkeeper who helped me met her unfortunate end. Her end was so tragic and painful. Her body was burned down in flames.This flame incident is a great loss to the country considering how much knowledge is kept in the library. Unique magic books and studies all burned down to ashes.There is no way of knowing when a person is going to the afterlife. Everyone must cherish people and express their love to the people they love before they meet their end.I learned about the promise I made to someone. I don’t know who it was or wh

“This isn’t right… My beloved darlings are going down one by one. My darling is supposed to be impossible to defeat.”The one speaking is someone outside of the city spectating the chaos from afar. He bites his finger continuously and his body trembles. The man was covered with a lab coat. On his face was broken glass.Beside him spectating was a decaying woman. His supposed wife died many years ago. By the power of undead magic, he was able to raise his dead wife as a zombie. His terrifying work doesn’t end with that. He’s also a scientist studying demons and monsters. Mixing their cells to create higher levels of demons. Just like the bomb demon and fire demon, Konoha just battles.“I created my demons to be at a level of The powers… A mere adventure should not be able to defeat them.”He claimed.Right beside him, a skeleton hand was placed on his shoulder.“That was naive thinking, Mister Nibiru… Don’t underestimate humans. Humans, despite not being the strongest creatures, always

“I’m not a civilian… I’m an adventurer who volunteered to fight the invading monsters.”“I see… You’re an admirable adventurer. Most adventurers stay in the city. Run with their lives after seeing the giant monsters… Adventurers in this era don’t have the guts like the adventurers in the old times.”Most of them are not that strong to face those demonic monsters. Running might be the only choice for them to survive.“Have you seen a girl here earlier?”“You mean the girl crying with her mother's hand…”“Is she fine?!”“She is fine… I saved her from the horde of zombies earlier. She is now staying with the other survivors in the shelter. No need to worry, the shelter is protected by three powers. There is no way a demon or monster could breach inside.”Powers? I don’t understand… Hearing the tone of her words. They seem to be important people. A very strong one, I guess.I can breathe easily now… Knowing that the little girl I wanted to protect lived.A thorn in my heart has been remov

Aster moves swiftly, going to cut the undead woman’s head immediately. The sword struck her neck with a loud metallic sound. Surprised at the result of her attack. Aster immediately stepped backward, noticing that the undead woman had attempted to grab her arm.“This one is bad…”Aster wasn’t done talking when the undead woman already had her sharp claws in front of her face.Responding at high speed, she moves her sword covering her face. The claw was very sharp and it cut down the white saber of Aster.After the first claw, it was immediately followed by continuous furious swipes. Aster covered herself with defensive magic to block the attack. But the defensive magic wasn’t enough, her body had damage and cuts all over her body.“Lightning kick!”I jump into the fight, kicking the undead toward its face. The undead woman didn’t even flinch after taking my kick. While my feet were on her cheeks. She grabbed me and slammed my body down on the ground.My body was in tremors.Aster took

“Holy magic… You’re indeed one of the exceptional… Are you sure that you don’t want to join my party? I’ll offer you a mansion and talk to a high-ranked noble about your engagement.”Aster offered.“My answer won’t change… Status, wealth, and power are not something I desire.” I replied as I shook my head.“That’s weird. Those things are what everyone wants in life.”For sure, that was the case for certain people. I still believe that there are people like me who just like a nice and quiet life. Living peacefully away from dramas and conflicts.Still…“I wouldn’t mind if someone gave me some reward after this… I need money to survive after all.”I said.“Of course, you’re getting something… I saw you’re knightly heart in helping the weak. I’ll make sure you’ll get something after this chaos. There are still lots of monsters and demons around. The giant danger beast has been taken off by the other powers already. All we have to deal with is the small fry.”I happily joined her in defea

When I opened my eyes, I didn’t even bother getting out of the soft bed. I just clapped my hands, summoning the butler who stood near the door. A white-haired old man in a perfectly tailored suit responded to the sound.He gave a deep bow of his head.“You called me, Master Konoha?”“Yeah, I’d like my morning coffee, Sebastian.”“I’m Hermes.”“I’d like my morning coffee, Hermes.”Still sleepy, I lay back down on the bed.I can't get enough of this bed. I’m not into luxury stuff, but this is heavenly. My quality of sleep increased tenfold after experiencing this bed.I don’t desire wealth, but this life is not that bad at all. Having lots of money means I can sleep all I want. Just do what I want. Eat what I want.This proves the saying wrong: Money can’t buy happiness. Money can buy happiness. Better food, better clothes, better life.Everything is better with money.But this is just a borrowed dream.Currently, I’m living in Aster’s mansion. I know Aster is wealthy, but I never thoug

Is this okay?At first, I was happy about her taking me shopping, but after quite a time, I started to feel ashamed.We hang out together around the city under her care. By the way, her city is far away from the royal capital. The city is called Springwood city. A city surrounded by mountains, vast green forest, and wide grassland perfect for rising cows.Rice fields, farms, ponds, and many more things connected to agriculture can be found here. Aster also owned a private airship to transport her goods to other cities.The city is booming in wealth. People are nice and hard working. Every time we pass by, people always come to say “Hello” or wave their hands toward Aster.Her people loving her proves that she is truly a wonderful person.Good looks and kind heart… She is near perfect. Boys that don’t see her charms are truly blind. If I was a man, I would choose her to become my wife immediately.“Are you fine, Konoha? You’re walking too far behind me.”The glances of “Who is that gir

There are lots of days before the royal capital party happens. Felt a little ashamed staying at Aster’s mansion. I went outside and decided to do a monster quest in the city adventuring guild.I don’t want to spend my whole day lazying around. If I did, I’ll become fat. Something I don’t want. My movements want rusty and want to be in top shape every time.Aster was supposed to come with me, but she had something to attend to.Standing in front of the quest board, I’m carefully picking a quest that is appropriate for me.There are lots of monsters and monster quests posted. The Dragon, a terrorist and evil cultist called the witch cult.That’s why this quest board is overloaded with posters. Some posters are buried by other posters.They are so active these days.And the kingdom is not doing anything significant to stop them. This kingdom sure is useless.“This one is great… A subjection quest on taking down an evil squid called the king of the sea. The reward was 5,000 gold plus a ba
