“Hermes… Is there anything we can do to stop them?”“I’m afraid there is no way… Master Konoha has already accepted the duel. She’s on fire herself. Seems like she’s holding back her fist all this time.”“Hermes, you noticed the bloodlust earlier.”“As a former assassin… I could sense even a pinch of bloodlust. If someone has threatened your life, as a living human, the natural response is to fight back.”Aster and Sebastian look so worried.I’m Aster’s acquaintance. There was a possibility that this rotten prince would turn his anger on Aster later. I can’t drag down Aster because of my actions.I don’t want that.“Zenon… Promised me that you won’t put a finger on Aster if I win this duel.”“I may not look like it, but I’m a man of my word. Aster is beautiful but not my type of woman. I don’t have a single interest in her.”“Then, you’re interested in me? You pervert.”I pointed my index finger to him.“Don’t get the wrong idea, Kanna… You might be cute, but that’s all you have. I do
“Raziel… This can’t be happening... My mommy is going to die if this continues.”Kanae muttered while sitting down on the floor pretending to read books from the library of Cosmos. In her hand was the book manifested by her angel ability, Raziel.Raziel could see through every event of the targeted person. Plus, Raziel can be used by twisting the fabric of reality itself, by writing down the desired future for the target, future writing. Some rules have to be applied in future writing. Writing about future events must be aligned with the present. (Or could happen in the world where the target was.) For example, writing to manifest a unicorn in a world without unicorns will not going to happen. The second example is writing that Konoha transforming into a dragon to eat Aster is also impossible.It was a powerful ability, but the user itself was the problem. She is a child not exceptional. We could say Kanae was just an above average person. Not an idiot and not a genius. What she desir
Grandbell's family's last member's mansion was attacked. Asteria’s body was found all burned down to coal. The suspect for the crime was the Scythe, a power named Asuna, who was secretly a member of the Revolutionary group. After Asteria’s death, the responsibility of taking care of Springwood city goes to the family of Redgrave.Thousands of people came to visit Astria’s funeral. Thousands of flowers were offered in the burned-down house.The motivation of Asuna is still vague and the knights search for her.Thus, said in the newspaper.That’s how everything was presented to the public. Aster, in the end, was remembered as a kind-hearted girl whose sole purpose was to protect the weak.I know she has done many terrible things and killed lots of people. In the depths of my heart, I would like to remember her as a kind-hearted girl too, just like everyone.Overthinking about it would be useless.There is no way I could revert in time.I folded the newspaper and looked at the passing sc
A long time ago, there was a girl who adore fantasy stories. Dragons, Castle in the sky, Cute monsters, Dangerous monsters, Magic, and endless adventures. The girl's name was Lenny Harusaki.The girl was given an intellect far greater than any human of her age. She presented various specialties in many fields. People cheer for her genius and others creep out on her intellectual mind.Despite the various paths presented to her. She chose to be a Computer scientist so that she could realize her dream.Lenny's dream is to go to her own wonderland.The world she was living in wasn’t suited for her liking. Because of the lack of adventures. Unlike the fantasy stories, she’s reading. Why we don’t have magic? Why we can’t fly? Or why dragon doesn’t exist here? This world is boring? Thoughts from Lenny's mind.She created the first VRMMORPG called New world online. Created her own console to transfer human senses to the virtual world. Humans experience the first full dive VRMMORPG that only e
When the sky was covered by dusk, I went toward the said meeting place. The coffee shop was easy to find, considering that it's the only coffee shop in this area.There are not a lot of houses nearby. Only vast green land and three windmills spin as the cold wind blows.While walking, a white cotton-like ball fell on my cheeks. The cold sensation runs through my skin.It was snowing.“The last month of the year is approaching… This must be the beginning of the winter season.”I said with anticipation.I went to the door and opened the door. Accompanied by the ring of the bell placed on the door. I attract attention as I enter.The first one to notice me was Leona. She approached me.“I heard about what happened in Grandbell’s mansion. We thought you got caught in the tragedy… Seems like you prove that you are not easy to kill.”I was on the scene and nearly died.“I’m lucky and survive...”“About Aster…”“... I’m sorry, but I don’t want to talk about her. Leave them alone for a while.
“Being attacked? How could they know we’re coming?”Olivia asked herself a little puzzled. Leona whose driving the dragon she was mounted pushed her away from the dragon hastily.“My lady!”The dragon’s head was sliced by an invisible blade same as Konoha’s dragon. The happening was so fast Leona’s left arm was caught by the invisible blade.“Leona your arms?”“My arm is nothing compared to the person who gives my life direction.”Leona stated giving Olivia a sense of ease. She swings her fist with her magic intercepting the next invisible blade coming in their direction.“Dynamic punch!”An explosion appeared above the sky.Meanwhile, on the shore of the east island, a man covered with black seems to be waiting for Olivia to arrive. Having his face up enjoy the scene of dragons falling one by one from the sky. The was very pleased knowing that Olivia’s plan was foiled.“Her death would result in great impact on Redgrave family… This is interesting. Hey, Are you fine being here? They’
I was still a kid when I saw slaves walking down the streets all naked. On their backs was a huge log of wood they carried with all of their strength. In addition, behind them was a knight whipping their backs with a thorn whip. Their blood mixed with sweat. Their faces are agonizing.“Grandfather, why are they naked? Why are they suffering? Why are they treated that way? I felt bad for them…” I asked.My grandfather, who was beside me, slapped my face. I was shocked by his action, leaving me in astonishment.“Listen, Olivia… Those people aren’t human… Those people who don’t have their own will aren’t human. They are animals in human skin… You must not sympathize with them… They are tools to make our life better.”Tools? Human?I don’t understand… I don't understand a single thing about what my grandfather was talking about. Perhaps I was still too young back then to understand.As I grow up I study history and how everything turned out like that.According to the sacred text, the god
Without farther ado the traitor, Viola jumps in the direction of the muscular woman Leona. Not a hint of emotion was shown on her face. She thrust her rapier in maximum speed. “Stinger!” Leona avoided the rapier by stepping side way and she caught the blade using her palms.“I caught your weapon now!” Leona said.“How’s stupid…”Viola pulled out speed. Cutting Leona’s palm as a result. Second, Viola aimed on Leona’s chest going for direct one shot kill toward the heart.Before the tip of the sword reaches its target. A transparent mirror like object appeared, blocking the rapier on piercing through.“A barrier?”Viola rotated her body kicking Leona on her guts. Lean endure the hit and her body knocked away in few meters.“The rumors that you only use one magic must be a lie. That was a barrier magic just now.”“Dynamic punch is my main magic and the core of my technique. I never spread rumors of me only using one magic…As a knight of Redgrave I have to be flexible. I do have some heal
