“A dream of traveling the whole world… Amazing! Big sister so amazing!”I muttered while flipping the book of adventuring stories. My eyes glimmered in excitement. Seating beside me was my big sister, Gretel.“Yup, the world is big, and dying in one small place is the last thing I wanted to do in my life… I mean imagine wandering in these places… A kingdom of candy, a city on a back of a giant sea turtle, a palace under the sea… Endless snowfields, a city of eternal spring, and many more wonderful places to visit and experience… Plus, a bunch of treasures and wonderful friends to meet.”“A kingdom of candy! I love to visit the kingdom of candy! That means I can eat a lot and lots of candy every day!”“Of course, you can, but be careful you might get a cavity. Losing a tooth will hurt. It will also ruin your cute smile.”“I’ll brush my teeth every day!” I responded.My big sister places her hand on top of my head and gently pats me. Big sister Gretel is strong, pure, and beautiful. She
The pirates who assaulted us were all tied upside down half-naked. Using what they called “The thing” (Long feather). The tickle torture has begun.Staring at their body is a little disgusting through. Especially the captain whose body was covered with thick hair.I have my head averted away a little from them. I only took glances when they spill out the beans. I was amazed at how this torture is going very well. I always thought that torture needs to be violent in some way or another. Captain Hansel just proves that there is a way to avoid violence.Ento proves himself innocent. His in the Sapphire Archipelago on a special quest for investigating the missing dragon eggs. According to their story, seems like Ento find out about their hideout and now Ento was being followed to be killed by these pirates. Candy coral pirates were caught in because the Black pearl pirates thought that Candy coral pirates were working together with Silver scale adventurers.That also explains why he smell
After filling their stomachs, they immediately sail to the mist mountain shore to toss down the pirates who assaulted the Candy coral pirates. Afterward, they go ahead to the island where the hideout was located. Looking at the size of the ship were riding, a surprise attack was impossible. The lookouts from the island shore will definitely see our arrival.“Are you sure about this Hansel?”Ento was a bit nervous about how things are playing out. He is not very comfortable with the plan made. As a Thief class adventurer. Lurking and surprise attack was his specialty, but the plan suggested fighting heads on like a warrior.A very straightforward plan suited for Captain Hansel.“Of course, that’s how a true warrior faces battles. The best plan is to have no plan at all. I’m confident that everyone here is skilled adventurers and my crews are all well trained by myself. Just promise me that we’re all coming back together live to have a party... All drinks are on me.”The captain said wi
After very long years of not seeing each other, the two were reunited. Not a heartwarming reunion. A reunion filled with chaos and anger. It was exactly ten years ago when Captain Hansel lost her big sister Gretel. Gretel was a respectable pirate that helped people in need. She is known and respected in all lands making her name as the prodigy and someday one of the few who will conquer the vast sea. Only a few know, but her goal was out of a fairy tale. Her goal is to find the legendary island of candy. People might laugh hearing her goal in life, but she stays firm and look forward to her dreams with a smile on her face.Strong, courageous, beautiful, and pure. Some of the words that will identify Gretel on who she was. Her sense of justice and making the world a happy place was simply too strong. When she finds the candy island. She wants to make a rain of candy. Riding a dragon they will make it rain candy in the whole kingdom.One day, Gretel return from her expedition to visit h
The bloodbath night ended. At first, Konoha wasn’t able to find the egg on where it was hidden. But Shihoru help her out and used her powerful sense of smell to track down the location of the hidden eggs. It appeared that the egg was buried under the white sand near the shore and not in the cave.During the night lots of people lost their lives. Adventurers and pirates. A miracle does occur when Konoha finds out that non-of her comrade has perished during the battle. As if God used his finger to stir the situation to the good side.Captain Hansel returned back to the ship a little sad, but she won't have a plan in regret. Sad that someone she respected when she was a kid died, and she was satisfied that in her own hands she made her revenge. From her bosom, she took a necklace with a picture of her and her big sister Gretel.Getting the egg won’t solve the entire problem about the dragons yet. The egg found was egg only belong to the red dragon the guardian of the Shappire archipelago
Stella city is an honorable city and one of the oldest cities in world history. While on my way, I do notice the giant towering boulder of rocks. Like pillars, they surrounded the city. These things are said to be made by a goddess.Taking a closer look at the boulder, I could sense nothing from it. Special materials used in making special weapons are supposed to release powerful magic. This one isn’t releasing anything.I thought I could take a piece and create a dagger from it.I walked near the boulder and placed my palm. The stone is cold, the winter has just faded and the spring season is about to start. It doesn’t mean the cold wind has disappeared.“I remember… Shihoru told me that this rock is invincible… I wonder about that.”I made a step back and charged my fist with as much lightning magic as I could. Concentrating it on one point. Until a ball of light covered my entire fist.“Heaven’s Lightning Punch!”Yelled and hit the stone directly.My face turned white and I immedia
The church seems to be on the verge of ruin, but I have no complaints about sleeping in this place. Despite how the church looks, the inside room is fine. The cold night is warmed by plenty of kids who sleep together with me. We are cramped together, but I don’t dislike it.The little girls on both sides are so cute. I have no complaints.Thinking about their situation. I felt like I couldn’t just leave this place without doing anything about the corrupt lord of this city. I could give them a fraction of my money to survive for several months.Who knows what would happen to them when I left? Most of them are kids. There are two sisters, one in her teens and an old woman. The primary source of their income is from donations and their selling their hand-crafted items like artificial flowers and baskets. Sometimes they also go to work, like harvesting and cleaning services.Despite them working hard, the tax is still too high for them. Unable to pay and they would be thrown outside.I’m
“It's nothing… I’m just looking around… I’m just new in this town after all.”I continue looking at him observing his expression if he was lying.I don’t think he's one of those knights chasing me. Feels like he didn’t even recognize me. He looks like an average adventurer. He has a sword o his waist. He must be a swordsman class adventurer. But he's not wearing armor. He does wear an arm plate and that’s all.“Really? Then, have a nice meal.”I responded and turned my face back to my food.While I was eating I still felt his stare on me. Making me uneasy I go to confront him again.“Why are you still looking at me?”“It’s nothing, I just thought that your like a kid while eating.”After he said those words he goes back facing his food opposite to my seat. Being treated as a child is nothing new to me. I would be lying if I don’t felt irritated hearing similar comments every time.It wasn’t my fault that I look extremely young and cute.After eating dinner, I stood up from my seat and
“To create the world a better place… Using destruction to give birth to a new world. To make the world unified, we only need one leader. And that was the witch, the savior of this world.”“How is she going to save the world by destroying it? I can’t understand.”“Because you’re a lowly human who doesn’t know anything. The world and the system run behind everything!!”The tiger dashed at Yusael and threw a punch. His fist was caught by Yusael using her left hand. She grasps firmly tightly, and the tiger’s hand bleeds from her strength.The princess forcefully pulled him closer and forcefully swing her fist down at his skull again.“I said that won’t work!”The tiger replied.Yusael didn’t pay attention to his words and continued smaReng his fist into the tiger's head. Blood sprayed on Yusael’s armor and robe. The blood further tainted her pretty face.The tiger's face was unrecognizable. His flesh started moving to reconstruct his head.“My supreme regeneration ability will revive me o
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'
