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

    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

    This disguise is useless. Players who find me still go to attack. Seems like there is more to the rules of this death game. I tried to break the barrier again but it wasn’t destroyed no matter how powerful magic I used.Expected to be a special barrier.“What are the rules of this game, anyway?”I muttered.Before my eyes, a teruteru bouzu (Ren Ren monk) appeared with a poof. On its hand was a tone with a rule written on it.“Death game rules… Death game rules…” It said in a machine-like voice.Death game rules:Earn points by killing other players trapped on the island. The top players who earned the most would be chosen.Killing a non-player character earns a player 10 points.Trying to go outside is futile. But entering from outside is allowed. Once a person enters the area of the barrier, they will be considered a player.If a player doesn’t kill anyone within 24 hours, their body will be subject to poison and suffocation.Players killed will have their points transferred to the o

    “Why did you kill him?”“I already said it to you… I have to accumulate more points so that I can survive this death game… If I die here… If I die here… Who will save my people? I must survive and earn lots of money. That is my mission on having a journey.”Toto said.She cleans the dagger by swinging the blade at full force. The blood splatters on the ground.I’m in no position to criticize what she’d done. It was my belief to oppose her doing. In her belief, she is merely doing this so she can survive this death. She is neither right nor wrong.“I’m going ahead to face Audrey, who is currently staying in the castle in the center of this island… I have no idea how powerful this angel's ability was, but I don’t have much of a choice. My choice is only two… Fight Audrey or die in this death game.”“I want to go with you.”“I just said that I’m going to the castle… It would be dangerous for you if you came.”“I may not look like it, but I am also strong… I’m well trained at surviving an

    Konoha stretched her arms upward as if she had just gotten up from her bed.“It’s been a while since I was awakened… So this is how everything looks now. But completely taking over this body is still impossible for me. This body is not my body anymore after all.”Toto’s arms were severed and re-grew back to normal in a few seconds.“... A hybrid of a human and a demon. You’re lucky… Want to join me? I want to rewrite the world like the world where I came from. I want to be an actress again, doing movies and more. It’s so fun to be so popular. I mean fortune just followed me… I’m so cute everyone loves me.”“What are you talking about? Popular? Actress? Movies? What are those?”“A world without movies… This world truly sucks. I want to go back to my real life.”Toto made a few steps backward and immediately followed her back in the distance away from Konoha.She could not explain why her body moved on its own. More like an instinct.A prey has encountered her predator. The bunny would

    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'
