The dark elves are known for one thing. Their skill in the forge. When it comes to this, there is nobody that can deny their ability. That is how good they are in their craft and, this is also the reason why they have continued to thrive for a long time even though they have been absent from the battlefield. Despite their lack of forces that could be sent to the war against the forces of the demon lord, the fact that all of the weaponry, items, and armor that the other kingdoms are using stems from them means that they are just as vital as everyone else who if fighting.This is also a testament to how good they are in making weaponry and everything else. After all, if the things they create are substandard, then this means that they would easily be discarded and their kingdom would simple be allowed to be laid waste. But that didn’t happen and these dark elves continued making the best that they could to counter and fight against all that is in the way of those that are fighting again
The attack that the two dark elves unleashed isn’t something that came without any price. There is one. A big one to be exact. The thing is that, by forcing their arrows to pierce with the amount of strength that it did, they basically had to offer up half of the entirety of their mana pool. Aside from what they’ve already spent in that battle, they had to take this amount of mana out of the pool as well. Leaving them with virtually nothing more to spend. A single cast of their lowest grade spell, that is the only thing they can now use and, that is a bad thing in and off itself.After all, this means that they have exhausted their reserves to an extent that they are now placing their very lives in risk of perishing. But that won’t happen because, now, these same dark elves can finally rest. With the fight finished, their bodies began to give up on them.The toll that this had taken is far more than what they thought they are able to bear. In fact, they almost fell unconscious right aw
"When all the world falls silent,Whose voice could you hear?Just a madman and his lament,of the gods who cannot feel."I."Fifty-one~" Loki said. A woman wearing a long floral skirt and a pink sleeveless top came forward, hands clasped together as if in prayer. She looks like a model with her height and her shape."Shame" I said to myself, knowing that she will soon share the same fate as those who went before her.The show started hours ago. All of us are made to stay backstage until our number is called, just like that woman. There is food prepared for us. Sofas are also available to sit on and there are rooms people could use to practice before being called.Disregarding the fact that we would probably all die, I'd say that this is a V.I.P - like treatment. The food is even top gourmet class in taste but, that doesn't amount to anything.We're all dead."Shit. Shit. Shit.""This isn't real.""Mommy I want to go home."The voices keep piling up backstage. As the hours drag on, mo
"He stood at the edge of a cliff,With hands pocketed and legs all stiff,Wondering what would happen if he takes a leap,To a world beyond the darkness of this cliff."I.Death…For the second time, I am sure that death has taken me. I am certain because right now, I am conscious yet I am surrounded by nothing but a blank space. I'd try to sleep but I can't and, no matter how hard I try to wake up, this is the only thing I see."This is reality now." I told myself. However, all hope isn't lost.With this void is a remote which lets me replay things I did in the past. Whenever I click the top button, a screen would show up in front of me. With folders and files of the events in my life. Though the folder names are annoying."Job Hunting Season 1" Featuring all jobs I didn't get as soon as I finished college."The Dumping Festival" Featuring the moments when I got dumped or rejected by a girl."Summers Beating my Wood" I don't want to explain this folder."Job Hunting Season 2"Althoug
"If life is so wonderful,Then why have you died?Nothing remains beautiful,Don't cover yourself in lies."I.After being forced down that hole made by Heidi-sama, I suddenly lost consciousness. The next thing I know, I'm already sitting next to a tree. There's a thick mist wherever I look so I thought that the sun has yet to rise. But that is not the case because, as I looked up, there is a bright yellow light up in the middle. Though it is also covered by the mist. Strange."Status" A game-like window appeared before me, displaying all of my basic information.Name: Jean MartinAge: 30Owner: Heidi (Queen of the Underworld)Blessing: NecromancyThis is what my basic information looked like on the status window. All of this is common knowledge already. What I need to see is my status points. I quickly swiped to the left using my hand just like Heidi-sama taught and then I finally saw it.Strength: 10Note: You're as strong as a teenage boy who stays at home and does nothing but hold
"A man entertains not with dance or jokes,not with a brush's stroke,not with song or vanity,but with love that speaks purely."I."Analyze" Things started to have labels before me again. I can't keep the skill on because it tires me out. I guess stamina is like my mana pool, the more skills I use, the more my body feels tired.The town actually looks amazing. Houses and buildings are all covered by roots as a tree would always be planted above them. I went near a wall and saw how the roots are supporting the structure. You'd think that these building would crumble down because of the roots, but it actually strengthens the structure altogether.I kept on walking and looking at the labels provided by my skill. Bar, House, Garden…oh here it is, an inn. I went inside to inquire because the first thing I need is to find a place to settle in. I can worry about the other stuff later.Heidi-sama gave me enough money to get through my first few weeks in this world. She also explained the cu
"There are kings and fools in this world,All lurking in the streets like common men,But what differentiates a clown from a lord,Is that kings will deceive to achieve their goal."I."I'm gonna head out for a while." I said to Mystica who is still wary of my presence. She didn't give a response but she did glare at me before I left. The sun is up yet I feel so cold, that glare of Mystica really did its job well. In my defense, I did touch her and took off all her clothing but, everything I did was for her sake!"I told you she isn't necessary." Sei told me."Shut up." I answered.In the streets, a lot of people are already busy doing whatever fate has bound them to. Women are off to the market to get grocery, men are walking the streets with shovels, plowshares, pruning hooks and other items used for various jobs.Come to think of it, the only thing I accomplished yesterday was finding an inn. I am still not familiar with all the places in this town and, if there are other Entertain
"Beware the serpent who lurks in the streets,For it might just be the person you feed.Beware the serpent who always greeds,Slithering to your bed at night while you sleep."I."For the dear ladies, here are some flowers." King said as he made flowers come out of thin air."He's really fond of using flowers." I said to myself, thinking back on the trick he showed me at the food stall."Kyaaa! We love you King!" A group of girls said, standing nearest to the stage.He continued giving flowers to every woman watching his show, even Mystica. Strangely though, Mystica didn't take the flowers and even looked away, as if King didn't exist. That's odd. King then went back on stage, jumping so high as if he floated for a moment."I'm sure that all of you want to see something special, my dear adoring fans. But sadly, I can only perform two tricks for today. But please don't be sad, I'll make sure to amuse you with what I have in my sleeves."He then proceeded to create two new pigeons. The
