There is a world called Aquanor that is dominated by oceans, with only small patches of land scattered across various regions. This world is home to a diverse range of living creatures, including humans and various other species. Among all the species, the population of Aquarians, who live in the waters, is the largest and they possess an advanced civilization.Although their technology is still primitive, the world is filled with a strong presence of magic. The culture and architectural style of this world follow the medieval civilization, creating a classic and enchanting atmosphere.Thanks to a very strong leader among the aquatic species, there are no conflicts between nations in this world. She has managed to establish peace and maintain balance not only within her own diverse aquatic population but also among all the nations in the world.In Calidora, a fertile and diverse land surrounded by enchanting waters, the climate is warm with varying seasons. Calidora is filled with lus
"After a long time of not visiting here, doesn't Mr. Sprinter Ghost miss this old man?"It is still hard to believe that the owner of Whispering Oak, that middle-aged man, is actually the same person. Oakley, from the first time I saw him until the last, he has never changed, both in appearance and attitude. Perhaps because he has no hair, it cannot be used as a measure to determine any changes that living creatures usually undergo. He truly has not changed at all, until now."How long has it been since you last came here? I can't remember anything about you," Oakley, as usual, would show a friendly smile every time as if it were his default expression. "I heard you disappeared mysteriously."Actually, I don't really like memories from the past and I don't want to remember them. But of course, I mustn't forget them either. There are many things I need to fix so that the mistakes I made in the past don't become nightmares and repeat themselves. "That," I pause for a moment. "Has become
[Swift Movement] I accidentally got this Swift Movement skill after all my status points were dedicated to dexterity. That way, I am able to move quickly as much as twice my fastest running speed without using the Swift Movement skill with no significant fatigue. Acquiring this skill can be said to be satisfying because the skill can still be developed. Swift Movement which is still level 1 is very helpful in battle. The proof, is I'm currently fighting a demon ape that is able to move swiftly between the trees. With the help of Swift Movement, I am able to keep up with its movement speed. Getting the surprise attack earlier did get me scratched, but not the second time after I used Swift Movement. I move nimbly over the large stilt roots protruding above the mud. Then after using a nearby tree trunk to give me a boost, I stab the demon ape's vital area which is also jumping at me to deal an attack. At that very instant, the demon ape immediately falls helplessly. ... When I wok
I immediately go downstairs to check the demon ape that I have just attacked in its vital area."He's dead, right?" I mutter as I press my Iron Knife on the demon ape corpse while keeping my distance, afraid that the demon ape is still alive and pretending to be dead to deliver a surprise attack like the first time.“Pyuh...”Stroking my chest before I checked the status screen, I get a notification about my level increase.“Whoa… I go up two levels at once?!”After I checked, it turns out that the demon ape that had just attacked me was level 5, while I was still level 1 before. Surprisingly, the status points I got are an odd number. Getting two levels up at once should get me an even number of status points for sure. Except for one thing to be sure of, there is the addition of status points as a bonus from what I had done.As you know, I just defeated a demon ape that was several levels higher. It could be, that's why I got one extra status point.Feeling quite curious about the ag
Another one has fallen. I've overthrown a dozen demon apes and advanced several levels. Despite having defeated quite a number of demon apes, in fact my level increase was not as much as the demon apes I defeated. The higher the level, the greater the intake for me to advance to a higher level. Whoops! “The edge of the Valley of Skeletons is still not visible…” I say after descending from a tall tree branch to look around the area. Valley of Skeletons, I thought I would find many skulls in this valley. But as far as I've gone, I haven't seen a single skull. In fact, most of the ones I meet or rather attack me are demon apes that seem to live in this valley. When my feet just landed on one of the supports, a scream sounds so loud. I believe, the scream came from a woman who is not far from where I am. Suddenly, I rush to the source of the sound. Having heard that scream, I know it was a scream of fear of something. Clearly, something is threatening her. [Swift Movement] The Agi
It had been a few days since I had a strange dream, which was a dream about the Trial of Heroes and an amazing fantasy world. I just realized one very important thing, the dream I had was affecting my physical body.The wound I received when I first received the surprise attack from the demon ape I just realized was on the back, the back which was my physical body and not the body in a dream. From the start, I did feel that there was something odd about the dream. But from the bottom of my heart, I always try to deny my thoughts.And most importantly, I felt a change in my body. The sensation when the body in the dream world had a drastic increase in dexterity, apparently happened to my physical body as well.It's hard to believe that I can move so fast, fast far beyond the world's recognized athletes.I realized it too late, because the first sensation I had was when I first experienced an increase in body agility. So when I woke up at that time, I didn't feel anything strange. Of co
I immediately plop down on the bed as soon as I got home without minding my unchanging clothes. The comfort provided by this simple bed made my eyelids feel heavier, until they finally closed. But as usual, instead of falling asleep into a dream world that is just a fantasy, I wake up again in a dream world that felt real. I want to cry, because I'm really tired of all this. Not so different from in real life, the drowsiness hit me again. Unfortunately, no matter how many times I tried to sleep, my consciousness remained awake. The longer I closed my eyes in a conscious state, the more sore my eyelids felt. “Sigh... How annoying...” In the end, I am only required to accept all that happened gracefully. Silence will not solve the problem. So, I just need to live this life with passion. No matter how mentally exhausted this is, I have to keep moving forward. Imagining an illustration of a face that had recently been engraved in my mind, I step steadily to go to the Holy Altar. Th
“I am Elrene Viane, the only daughter of Duchess Elrumy Viane…” Elrene, the girl I saved that time I meet her again. She introduces herself gracefully as if she really is the daughter of a noble in medieval Europe. I don't know how to respond, because this girl named Elrene could actually be playing a trick on me by acting so gracefully. In the end, I just waved before turning my attention to the broadcast screen. Staring at my Iron Knife for a moment, then I look back at the broadcast screen on the stone block. “Perhaps, someone has already completed the first mission…” I mutter. I turn my head for a moment without saying anything to Elrene. Looking back at the broadcast screen, a line containing the details of the first mission I touch. Then, a new screen appears to display the contents of the details of the first mission. A button to report the progress of the mission completion appears at the very bottom of the screen, then I press the button after I considered it to actually
