Chances to Another Life 19. My Savior! My Friend!
"Oh, you damn scoundrel!" Max cursed as he lashed his whip. In moments like this, the whip felt like an extraordinarily long serpent, striking at someone who moved with agility.I tried not to panic, although the dagger was still lodged in my chest. It was a miracle that I could still maintain consciousness at this moment. I wondered if what I was seeing was the effect of my impending demise or if there was indeed someone fighting with the psychotic duo.That wasn't Solace. Solace was much smaller, and I doubted he could move as swiftly."I warned you, don't interfere, Delilah!" Rey exclaimed. He glanced at me briefly, as if considering withdrawing his blade to confront the person named Delilah.My vision blurred, my fingertips had already cooled, but other parts of my body still felt hot as if fighting to keep me alive.My heart beat normally, which meant the dagger hadn't yet pierced my heart. For a moment, I felt a glimmer of hope for survival. But I was too weak to continue cuttin
Chances to Another Life 20. I Fell into The Cave
I knew for sure that I had fallen into a hole that had come out of the rocks, and I was prepared that my body would probably be completely crushed. However, I landed on something that wasn't hard at all. "Come down, Joe!" The voice came from below, my forehead wrinkled as I tried to guess the voice, and then I jumped and immediately stood up stiffly. Delilah coughed as she patted her chest, holding her waist with an expression of pain and anger."Sorry, I didn't mean to!" I squealed quietly as I clasped my hands together. What would happen if someone saw a man without a top with a woman with cropped hair, piled up from being whipped by a psychopath? I've never had physical contact with a woman in my entire life and something like that would make me nervous to death. "Damn Max, he's really going to pay when we get out of here," Delilah said as she shook her fist at the hole. Fortunately, she didn't mind when I accidentally sat on her. My eyes fell on the stalactites hanging far a
Chances to Another Life 21. Mr. Generous Dragon
Finally, I successfully vomited the contents of my stomach that had been churning all this time. Truly, it was a miracle that I didn't faint immediately as the dragon opened its mouth to devour me. I spat to finish, then turned to Delilah and the dragon, eyes wide with tears. "I'm sorry," I said softly. The pool of water we were in was automatically stained with my vomit. When Delilah noticed, the woman immediately tiptoed and deftly jumped out of the water. She gritted her teeth. "I wonder what you ate," she added in a disgusted tone. I winced in embarrassment, it was not my intention to vomit in front of a woman and a fire-breathing creature! The dragon then blinked, and a moment later the creature moved away from me. Perhaps it was also disgusted by the sight of human vomit and abandoned its intention to devour me. "Uh, kid, that smells really bad," the dragon grumbled in a voice that echoed throughout the cave. He spoke as if his teeth, which hadn't been brushed in 500 year
Chances to Another Life 22. Flying On the Back of Dragon
Flying on the back of a dragon was on my bucket list, and it had already been accomplished. I'd buried that dream when Adellia wouldn't tell me if dragons existed or not. And yet, here I was, floating in the vastness of space, clinging to the sides of Delilah's t-shirt as my trembling body kept me from swaying. "Woohoo, this is LIFE!" Delilah shouted as loud as she could with a big smile on her face. I wanted to match her attitude if I could, but my eyes were already stinging from the wind. No matter how well I had adapted to this world, I was still a human from another world. I looked down, and there were towering mountains. Houses couldn't even be seen as we flew through the sky. We even broke through the dark clouds and realized that there wasn't much time left to complete the mission. At first, I thought the dragon would just take us back to the forest—since that's how we entered the cave—but then it took a different route, blaming us for not telling it exactly where we were g
Chances to Another Life 23. Came back in the Barracks
Riding a Pegasus is a lot of fun. Unlike a dragon, whose body is so wide and strong, riding a Pegasus is no different from riding an ordinary horse, except that this creature can fly! The Pegasus flew gently because the trees were in the way. Along the way it whinnied as I showed it the scales of the dragon. I wondered if Delilah knew that pegasus love dragon scales, so she told me to take them. But whatever it was, it wasn't long before I saw the entrance to the forest that I recognized. It felt like I'd been here a long time, even though it hadn't been a full day. I wiped away the sweat, protecting my hollow chest and thighs. I looked at the leaves to see if there were any wide enough to use as clothing. But nothing. I didn't want to be questioned by others who saw my condition. "Joe! Where have you been?" The squealing voice made me look back. There were my five comrades riding their Pegasus with worried expressions on their faces. "Joe! We've been looking all over for you.
Chances to Another Life 24. Almost Got Caught!
I ate awkwardly because it was just me and Willem. The rest of my comrades hadn't returned from the infirmary yet, fortunately the military brass had granted a waiver this time for the cadets who were still undergoing treatment. It was now a few minutes past midnight, too late for dinner, but that was just as well, because that was the only time we could finish the mission. Three hours before the deadline! The meal of mashed potatoes and steak did nothing to whet my appetite, I glanced at Willem who was eating quietly. After eavesdropping on the conversation in the hallway, I thought Willem was going to bombard me with questions. Instead, he immediately invited me into the dining room. There were only a few people in the room, the higher-ups and officers weren't even there, just a few soldiers on patrol. I can breathe a little easier because Max and Rey aren't here either. My problem now is Willem. I have to prepare a logical reason if he asks, because I'm sure he also heard when
Chances to Another Life 25. This is What the Poor Smells Like
I roughly wipe the sweat from my temples. My eyes were still sleepy from only a few hours of sleep until the bell rang at seven o'clock to wake the cadets up for training. I had now completed a gentle flight around the barracks grounds with my sweet and cheerful Pegasus. We were instructed to become experts in Pegasus riding, without tips or supervision. Of course, many cadets fell and were almost trampled by other Pegasus because they weren't proficient. As for me, Peace was fortunately easy to work with. Riding a Pegasus was no different than riding a normal horse, in fact, it was easier and faster because these creatures could fly. As I looked up at the clouds swirling in the clear sky, Peace whinnied repeatedly and spread its wings as if ready to meet the sky. However, I quickly pulled back the reins as the military hadn't allowed us to fly far yet. I must have felt strange in this situation. When I looked around, all I could see were a few patrolling soldiers who didn't even
Chances to Another Life 26. This is the Military Commander
It must have been more than an hour that we were out in the hot sun. After lunch, which was not very good, the cadets were told to assemble in the field. After all this time, it was not clear what the military was going to announce. Some cadets were already complaining as they fanned themselves. If we hadn't been given supernatural remedies like mandrake extract, we would have died. It seems like only yesterday I saw a goat eat a wolf, now I don't know what other miraculous things I'm going to see. "Joe? Are you okay?" asked Willem from behind me. "I'm fine. Why?" I asked back. I had cried, but only for a while. Frans calmed me down and listened to my story. Willem looked in all directions. "Well, maybe you shouldn't travel alone from now on, considering the possibilities of what they can do," he emphasized the word 'they'. I followed his gaze to a disorderly group line. The people there were busy shouting and laughing at each other, they were Max's colleagues, a bunch of brats.
