A pair of eyeballs quickly move to the side, while the neck turns, mud that moves like a snake pecks at my back. I who see it immediately jump and land on a tree branch while my hands are still holding Elrene's body in a lap position.Luckily, Elrene told me. Otherwise, I don't know what will happen next.How can a mere mud injure someone like me who has even fought many high leveled monsters? Even though I didn't dodge, the worst situation I got was at most just being shocked and coughing from getting hit on the back and not a fatal wound.After all, how could mud move as if it has a soul controlling it? I think after I saw the mud that just barely hit my back has a snake-like shape, elongated with the main part of its body must be the mud that is on the ground. As for the mud that covers the tree that had trapped Elrene before or something, it is still connected to the mud above the ground.“Can you stand up, Elrene?” I ask while my attention is still on the mud that is starting to
A few days ago, the mud that always covered the ground in the Skeletons Valley suddenly dried up. Not even for the mere presence of mud. As if, from the start there was no mud there.At that time, the momentary happiness of the Hero Candidates became a curse. Where, more and more monsters appeared unstoppable. But with that, animals that had a delicious taste of meat that were usually used as food were re-emerging. That said, it was a strange occurrence that no one knew if it was a blessing or indeed a curse.There were recorded fatalities, though what I witnessed at the time was that they were all shoulder to shoulder against the huge waves of monsters.As for the rumors about the Sprinter Ghost Dagger, which was increasingly being discussed, because of its mysterious action, it was one of the biggest reasons for the reduced number of fatalities.It wasn't an oddity in the face of a wave of monsters where so many would die, let alone be injured. Luckily, there were enough Hero Candid
A girl seemed to be confused with gazes directed in all directions. In a crowd, it's hard to find someone. Moreover, the person she was looking for was someone she knew as someone who could disappear without a trace."Hiro, where the hell are you..." she grumbled with pursed lips.With both hands holding her hips which were slightly wider than her shoulders, her upper body was slightly leaning forward, facing the direction of the voice that had previously come bringing vibrations to the ground, she gazed off into the distance at the edge of the ground that was higher than the ground below her.Her eyes narrowed slightly, hoping that doing it would catch the person she was looking for. However, no matter how hard her eyes searched the ins and outs of the area in front of her, she couldn't see the person she was referring to.“I didn't expect Hiro to go where that terrible voice came from. But, there's no way someone like him who likes fighting strong monsters would be sitting around he
I appear on top of a pile of rock that could move like a living creature with a human-like shape, it is very tall and it is so impressive to see from above to the scenery below.The wind is so cool. Wavy hair like a storm in the ocean. The black cloak flutters as if it is forcing itself to break free and fly freely with the bird to nowhere.No wonder I'm trying to find the end of this Skeletons Valley can't get to what I expected after seeing the green and brown scenery that looks as far as the eye can see.Within seconds I am standing staring into the distance, I see below there is a crowd of people gather as if they are watching football. They seem to regularly form a circle. Whereas what I see from up here, and what I knew, is that there are no guards or barriers for them to help me attack this monster made of large stone, the stone thaloss.“Or, is that what is meant by the conditions for accepting this Hidden Mission?” I mumble with my hand touching my chin.A hand made of large
An invisible place has an end, not even a floor to stand on, a creature who knows what it is wearing a robe that covers its entire body was staring at a screen made of piles of light without any visible medium containing the light. The light that was formed for some reason, various colors colored the existing light, until it became a hologram that appears in three dimensions showing a human figure for the Cloaked Figure to see. The human who was in the hologram without being accommodated by the media, with all black clothes and black hair, did not realize that he was being watched by a Cloaked Figure. Behind the man was drawn a giant statue shaped like a human. The Cloaked Figure who had previously witnessed what had happened before the pile of stones turned into a statue said: “This one human is really interesting. From the beginning I noticed, this human named Kennomaru Hiro was really different from the others. Without being bound by data collectio
Since then, it seems that the screen that appeared in an instant was considered a mere hallucination because the screen never reappeared in the real world.After a few days passed, the dream had not appeared the third mission and according to Elrene, usually there is a break every two missions for ten days.You could say, dreams become my second place to relax. But while in the dream, a screen containing messages from someone calling himself The God kept appearing. It really made me feel uncomfortable, so that my leisure time was reduced because its appearance every hour made me have to press the (X) button in the upper right corner of the screen regularly.At this time, the sun has not set yet. If you look at the watch on your hand, it's about two hours before nightfall. I just finished buying a few things what I need. Incidentally, today is the weekend. The mall is very crowded. Most people come with a partner or family, whereas I am alone.What I just
“Would Miho-san after this have dinner with me?”Hearing my question that just came out of my mouth, not only Miho gawks, but everyone who is around and heard it forgot to wipe the saliva that is about to fall on the clothes.Even the people in all white uniforms stop walking.Is there something wrong with my question? I think who is frowning with eyeballs combing around."Miho ... -san?"After some silence, hearing my voice again, only then do people come to their senses. However, Miho still seems to be gawking. So, to wake her up, I call out her name again. Unfortunately, awakening only with sound alone seems to be lacking. The effective way should be to give a touch to the skin, like patting her shoulder or something.I hesitate to do that when people's attention is still on me.“Um… Any suggestions?” I ask the people around me, even though I do not need to seek attention to get my question answered.<
The ceiling becomes a dull sight when my body is laid on a bed where I usually sleep. Even though it's boring, the plain white color is very suitable to be used as a medium for me to describe recent memories.“One day-... No, one great night...” I mutter with my lips curled from corner to corner.“But, what's with that damn screen? In fact, it suddenly appeared when-...” I muttered, stopping with the corners of my lips curled downwards, before continuing to say: “Ah never mind. I'm sick of having to remember about it again..."I pulled the blankets to cover myself, before laying my body sideways towards the window that I deliberately left the curtains open and let the moonlight in.It was a new habit after having time to relax in a dream enjoying the beauty of the moonlight."Good night..."...The sound of wood snapping wakes me up.The wooden chair I've been sleeping on is almost on the verge of
"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
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
Near the Tyra Mountains, there is a barren land that is uninhabited. From Areth, where the Lord of Blood lives, the wastelands are east and you have to pass through the Tyra Mountains to get there.No one would dare to risk their lives just to arrive at a barren land where there is clearly nothing to take from it.Supposedly, on this barren land there is no activity from living things, not to mention wild animals and other creatures. But at this moment, there is a sound of explosions coming from there indicating that there is a fight capable of destroying the surrounding area. Or, so to hear from the sound of continuous explosions.The sound of the explosion even makes the scaly beasts, including the dragon, choose to stay away from the scene of the explosion. Their wild instincts tell them not to even approach the place even if they are curious, or their lives would end up flying.“Is it just my feelings, or is your strength getting weaker as time goes by?” I frowned as I feel the Lo
A dragon flies over the Tyra Mountains, a mountain range filled with all kinds of scaly beasts. Flying under the clouds towards the East, down there begins to appear a magnificent castle surrounded by meadows. The castle is outside the Tyra Mountains a short distance away.Even a fool won't have the courage to build a castle near such a dangerous place, let alone the Tyra Mountains which have become famous for its dangerous level.Whatever the rumored danger, in the face of someone with absolute strength, it still isn't something to worry about. The owner of the castle is now standing casually accompanied by a cup of dark red drink. The drink smells fishy, looks slightly luminous, and is thicker than plain water. The color of the drink matches the color of the man's eyes, maybe that is the reason he is enjoying the drink so much. Beyond The Dream: Priggish God Damn!
The celestial bodies collide with each other. Massive explosions occur everywhere. The wave from that explosion collides with the wave from another explosion, creating a new one.These incidents keep happening.Throughout this void that spans the entire universe, chaos is truly terrifying to behold. The void is no longer engulfed in darkness. It's like Earth during the day, light fills the void. In fact, the visible light is so dazzling to the eye. If ordinary humans have the ability to see such a bright light, they will surely be blind.The sound that is all around the place is so terrible to hear. Those who can hear even close their eyes helplessly, even though the world is being hit by severe shocks.In one realm, Earth, erupting mountains shake the land. The ground sDetermination Comes from Future
The extremely pure light energy blows like a warm wind. I have indeed expected the Fallen Angel to attack me the moment I released her from the Absolute Prison: Life Devourer, as well as my confidence that I would not be harmed since this superior beast has greatly weakened. With that, it is very clearly proven, Fallen Angel is no longer a threat to me anymore."Listen to me, Miss Fallen Angel..."No matter how weakened she is, Fallen Angel still shows hatred for me. Well, I don't blame her. I realize that this attitude of mine is very forced. Even though I know, she doesn't want to be bothered by anyone from the start.It's just that this concerns the future of this universe. I use this Atomic realm to serve as a training ground for cadets because this place is very suitable. If I were looking for a realm that has the size of a large planet, I wouldn't need to bother persuading the Fallen Angels to cooperate. That is because the time limit required for the training of cadets is extre
The Sky Army is now carrying out orders from me. The orders they carry out are quite simple even though when in the field it will take a lot of time and effort, namely they are looking for suitable candidates to serve as special forces. Of course, I informed them about the criteria needed for the candidates to survive the training.After parting ways with Elrene, I have more time to spend in the Atomic realm. I do not come alone. The ones accompanying me here are Meddiosa, Miho, and Veronica.Meddiosa and Veronica should be able to deal with all the dangerous creatures living in this Atomic realm, but not Miho. So while I am here, I told them to take good care of Miho. I didn’t ask them to come with me, but they asked. Even though I told them that I’m not sure I could pay much attention back there, they said it isn't a problem as long as they are near me, more precisely in the same realm.That way, I can focus more on planning what to do in this world, especially for training the cand
As planned, I ordered the Sky Army to spread out to various places in search of special forces candidates.As I had expected, the Sky Army knows the ins and outs of this universe. So, that makes it easier for me to distribute the Sky Army about where they need to search later. In particular, I order the bulk of the Sky Army to look for special forces candidates in realms that contain strong magical energy.I certainly won't stay silent letting only the Sky Army look for special forces candidates. Apart from the realms that contain strong magical energy, I observe all realms through the darkness energy that is scattered all over the place.Well, I'll do that later.It seems I have to return to Elrene's place. I think she's done what she had to do.Still in the large all forested area, as I have expected, Elrene is now waiting for me by the river. So far, the only place that is comfortable to live in is an open place where there is a river that is wide enough. The interior of the forest
I do plan to accompany Elrene for a month, but that doesn't mean I would just stay there doing nothing while she carries out the mission given in Trial Of Heroes.In the first month since I got the mission to save this universe, I ordered the Sky Army to hunt creatures of the void. In my free time, I will also look for candidates that I will serve as the special forces formed by me until the future disaster arrives. Of course, these special forces will be trained through similar activities such as the Trial Of Heroes.There are several places that are considered suitable to be used as a place for the training to be carried out, including the selection process for anyone who is worthy to actually become special forces later.Well, a year's time to deal with a disaster that involves the universe is not an easy matter. Whatever the plan, preparing for it will not achieve the expected results.The catastrophe that would occur later, I who had seen it even briefly, realize that the chances
