Today, the troops from the Kingdom of Esteria were returning to the palace after completing their mission and were entertained with many women as a reward for their victory.

For Arthfael, bidding farewell to the four girls who had accompanied him felt heavy. Because for the first time, Arthfael could experience being served by the beautiful girls from Ravenwood City on a daily basis.

It had become a tradition in that place that when a man won a war or a competition, he would be rewarded with beautiful girls who would accompany and assist them.

Arthfael gazed at the four girls sitting on the bed he used and continued to look in their direction like a kitten unwilling to leave its mother.

"I feel like I want to stay here, but it seems I can't," Arthfael said.

The four girls immediately became sad and showed expressions that were difficult to explain. Arthfael finally approached and hugged all four girls simultaneously.

"Don't be sad, you will surely meet the right man who will make you

Valentina asked when she saw Arthfael calmly observing the view outside the window.Valentina flew closer to Arthfael and joined in looking at the scenery outside. Her eyes widened when she saw how many royal guests were coming tonight."What?! So many people! It seems like the palace will turn into a livestock barn if it's this crowded," Valentina exclaimed without thinking first.Arthfael turned his gaze to Valentina and looked at the fairy flying beside him. "Yes, because the King invited his subjects here. Automatically, they compete to come here wearing thei

There was no one there except for Arthfael and Arabella, who decided to have a private conversation.Feeling shy and reluctant to start the conversation, Arabella leaned against the dividing wall that separated the floor from the garden.Arthfael himself couldn't believe he was trapped in this situation. Finally, Arthfael stood beside Arabella and gazed at the magnificent and beautiful palace garden in the evening."Do you want to hear the reason why I rejected the offer to marry you, Princess Arabella?" Arthfael asked, breaking the silence.Arabella nodded her head slowly, trying not to appear too eager for Arthfael, although in reality, that was how she truly felt."If I told you that I'm not from this world, would you believe me?"

He quickly left the palace and met Zeke and Ian, who were ready with their own belongings."Do we need to bring anything?"

Maybe we can stop by the edge of the forest a few times and hunt for dinner, sir," Zeke replied.Arthfael nodded and then glanced at Flare, who was cleaning its fur."Flare, are you ready?" Arthfael asked.Flare paused for a moment, finished cleaning itself, and looked at Arthfael. "I'm always ready."After making sure th

The hum of the elevator's ascent enveloped them in a brief moment of solitude. It was within this confined space that Marshall broached a topic beyond the realm of work."Hey, Alvin," Marshall began, leaning casually against the elevator wall, "how's Camilla doing these days? Last time we talked, she had just lost Richard."Alvin's expression softened at the mention of Camilla. "She's doing much better now," he replied. "She's formed a contract with Neptunis and even mastered the art of lightning magic. It's incredible how resilient she is."Marshall's eyes widened in genuine amazement. "That'

The urban landscape, with its towering buildings and constant hum of activity, seemed both alien and strangely welcoming after his fantastical adventures.He strolled down the busy sidewalk, a stark contrast to the forest trails and mythical creatures that once accompanied him on his journey as Arthfael. The echoes of his footsteps resonated with the rhythm of city life, and he couldn't help but feel a twinge of nostalgia for the simplicity of the human world."Missed this place," he muttered to himself, his breath forming a small cloud in the chilly air.

I've cooked breakfast, and if the food gets cold, I'll hit you!"The words echoed in his ears, and Alvin groaned, trying to make sense of the unfamiliar surroundings. The name "Alvin" echoed in his mind, and he muttered to himself, asking aloud, "Who's Alvin?"Reality asserted itself, and with a jolt, Alvin's memory clicked into place. He wasn't Arthfael, the hero navigating a magical realm. He was Alvin, and this room was his own. He rubbed his eyes, willing himself to wake up from the lingering traces of the fantastical adventure.As he stirred, the room revealed familiar details—a worn-out poster on the wall, a collecti

The air within held a palpable weight, a prelude to the poignant moments that would unfold.Valentina, with her tiny form and delicate wings, sighed audibly. "This might be our last meeting, Arthfael. We may not see each other again."Flare, the Pyroblaze Phoenix, who had accompanied Arthfael through battles and triumphs, let out a cry tinged with sorrow. The fiery aura surrounding her seemed to flicker, revealing an underlying emotion.Arthfael, perceptive to their sentiments, inquired, "Flare, are you crying?"Flare, attempting to conceal her emotions, retorted, "No, it's just something in my eye."Arthfael, recognizing Flare's attempt to mask her true feelings, chuckled and pulled her into a tight embrace.

    Arthfael, standing in the room that served as a temporary sanctuary within the Dragomir palace, took a moment to collect his thoughts. The events that had transpired — battles fought, alliances forged, and the sacrifices made — weighed heavy on his mind. He couldn't shake the memory of Freya's selfless sacrifice, a haunting reminder of the costs endured in the face of darkness.In an instinctive motion, Arthfael raised his hand, and a holographic screen materialized before him, displaying a series of information. His eyes focused on the screen as he rotated his hand, prompting a pop-up that revealed a number: 999.Arthfael's level, a reflection of his strength and capabilities, stood at the pinnacle. The enormity of his power, however, was juxtaposed with the feeling of inadequacy that lingered within him."Freya," Arthfael murmured, his voice tinged with regret. "I'm sorry. You sacrificed so much for me, and yet I couldn't protect you. I was too weak."At the bottom of the holographi
