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
Stunned by what’s appearing in her eyes. Toto could not speak anything. Her body is completely petrified.She already made her last resort. Her final trump card that supposes to have one shot of Konoha dead.“Everything is running according to the rules of the One’s Eden system. The system was rewritten hundreds of years ago establiReng the current magic system and balancing the world. Re-creating this world into a peaceful one. But humans continue to destroy this land, after the war with demons. The human turned to each other creating another war… I won’t say that conflict is necessary. But everyone needs conflict to happen in their life. We can say that for a person to be completed, the person needs both sides of the same coin… I want to ask you something? Is the feeling of completion necessary more than the feeling of achieving one’s happiness?”Konoha lifted Toto. Lifting her on her neck.Because of her demon regeneration ability. Toto’s injuries are all healed. Konoha was in awe
The four girls has reached the front of the castle. A evil castle gives ominous aura around and the sky above it was darker than the other clouds around the island. It’s appearance is very suited for a evil boss battle. That was to be expected because the castle is one of the demon king Rening star base hundred years ago.Behind the castle the giant ship Noah’s ark could be seen.Taking a glance on the ark, Konoha could not suppress the memories that flows on her head.She gulped her saliva.Konoha know that she come to defeat Audrey, but the idea of killer is not in her mind yet. That goes back to the question. Could Konoha kill Audrey?“Don’t worry Konoha… We got your back. We won’t let anything bad happened to you inside.”Olivia said.“Thank you…”Mustering her courage, Konoha goes on a lead and open the giant door.The door immediately brings them to the giant hall inside the castle. An long red carpet and tall sturdy white pillars. On both side was two long staircase and giant g
Growing up, I always think that I’m the weird one.Living in the huge colorful amusement park without visitors. Eating and playing together with various wacky characters. Laughing and crying. Everyone has their characteristics except me. I always wonder why?I don’t have tails, horns, wings to fly, or someone similar to me in the amusement park. Realizing those little things made me feel sadness from time to time…… But I wasn’t lonely.Because I have my family.Even if they are not blood-related. They are the closest people to my heart. They said the true family is people you wanted to grow old with. Therefore, they are my family.I never knew the scent of my mother nor her scent.The monsters take care of me like I’m some kind of princess. Someone very important wants to put their life in the line for me. Every time I wake up every morning I was showered with smiles and greetings.One day, I found a book.A storybook about a traveling mage. Written in the book are plenty of stories
