The Nourant Kingdom's king made a nonsense gesture using his hand. As the joking conversation ended, Alex cleared his throat. Attracting the attention of all eyes gathered at the dining table."King of the Nourant Kingdom, I bring news of something." After a short pause, Alex tried to prepare his sentence.All eyes turned to look at Alex curiously. No one made a sound because he caught the signal that Alex was about to say something important. It made the atmosphere quiet. There was only the sound of cutlery clinking. They waited for Alex to continue."About King Nourant Kingdom's alliance that was cut off with King Oceana Kingdom due to pirate attacks, I've fixed that," Alex finally continued his sentence.The King of Nourant Kingdom's seemed interested in Alex's words. But he hasn't answered anything yet. Give Alex a chance to explain in more detail."Yesterday I've met with the King of Oceana Kingdom and asked him to rebuild the allian
Alex felt relieved after the intensity of the tension during the palace banquet just now had finally ended.No one disputes Alex's words. The King of Nourant Kingdom only gave a facial expression as if he wanted to know how Alex was carrying out his plan.After that, Alex and his group decided to return to their own rooms. Rasheed, Pandora, Salieri and Germio were already craving a bed to sleep. They were really tired after the battle against the demon army.Unfortunately, Alex's mind wanted no rest. Amongst his friends who went to their respective places, the curiosity in Alex's heart didn't stop bothering him.So Alex decided not to go to the room, but to follow Stella's steps. It was very strange because Stella actually turned in a different direction from the other friends."Stella," Malik called out to Stella.They go through the hall. Lonely. But Stella didn't heed Malik's call.Stella's indifferent attitude made Malik a little nervous. Along the way following Stella, Malik rubb
"Royal architect! I need your help!"By morning before the sun had risen, Alex was already looking for the royal architect. After exploring the halls and visiting the architect's private room, it turned out that the royal architect had just returned from a trip somewhere.Alex had just discovered the royal architect when they crossed paths. What luck. Since last night, after he talked to Stella, he couldn't sleep. His mind was filled with curiosity about which area would be a suitable location to build a magic tower."Royal architect!" Alex repeated his call once again.Only then did the royal architect stop his steps. He turned towards Alex and lowered his glasses slightly on the bridge of his nose. Clearly giving a confused look."You called me?""Sure," said Alex after arriving before the royal architect. "I want to ask you something important."The royal architect raised his glasses again. Behind the sneering express
Alex’s plan to build the Magical Tower was finally ready. He got the supports from the people in the Shrine, the same workers who helped Alex before in making a route to Mana stone cave, and also some great architects from the kingdom. The materials for the building has been prepared well by Alex and he already chose a place where the tower will be built. The magic institute of the kingdom also gave him an approval for using their place. It would not take a long time until the tower would be finished. That was what Alex hoped for.However, knowing that Alex always had his hands up to something, Horat always got irritated. He was upset , jealous, and could not stand to see Alex did good jobs. Horat was plotting to fail Alex’s new project this time. He needed to act fast and clever before the King gave him another approval. So, Horat this time made a conspiracy with Hector, the son of a ministry that worked under King Romeus.“My friend, Hector. Don’t you think the Hero is becoming more
“Excuse me, Ladies and Gentlemen. What’s up with this commotion?” Alex stood right in the middle between those two arguing sides.“Speaking of the devil.” The noble with wavy mustache sighed. “Hero Alex, you need to consider your mischief. You might be strong as a hero. However, you should respect the rules and policies.”“Doing as you please using your power and intelligence. I wonder if you are no different with those dictators.” The female noble chuckled while giving her intimidating look.“Hey, come on! I’m not doing anything wrong, right? This is for the sake of our kingdom.” Alex tried to defend his innocence.None of the aristocrats seemed convinced with Alex’s explanation. They need a stronger proof which could make them satisfied. Instead of giving their support, the aristocrats were complaining and asked Alex to stop the project right away or else, Alex might face something bad. It might even turn the people around Alex to think twice be
Alex found himself lost in thought. He wanted the King to acknowledge his effort but he did not know what to do. To find something great that could amaze the king’s attention was not easy but Alex was an extraordinary guy. He would find a way, for sure.As Alex walked outside the King’s palace, he tried to figure out a new idea. Not yet, he still needed time to get some inspirations. He tried to recall his past life to find the best thing he could do. While Alex was still in his hard thinking, he unintentionally met with Helene on his way back to the area of the construction.“Good day, Sir Hero Alex. What are you doing here?” Helene greeted Alex with her usual soothing aura.“Well, hello, Hel. The king summoned me just now. It was about the tower project.” Alex greeted Helene back and explained her about his situation. Alex’s attention suddenly changed after seeing some children were following Helene.“So, how was it? Did the King give his permission?” Helene looked worried.“Nah, no
“I’m sorry for taking your time. I wanted to have a proposal. I would like to establish a simple school here and I need your help to be the teachers.” Alex explained her proposal to the point as usual. “I realized that there were no school here that became the place for children to sharpen their knowledge and ability. I only know there is a place to study in the shrine but it is only limited to orphans. I want a place where any children can enjoy their time studying and make friends.”The magicians in the magic institute were amazed by Alex’s idea.“Hero Alex, I can see a great potential in your idea.” Magnius responded. “We would gladly accept the position of being the teachers. It would be a great honor for us.” Magnius accepted Alex’s request.“Thank you, Chief! I owe you.” Alex felt grateful.“Where do you think we should do the teaching? This building is not really that big to contain lots of students.” Magnius explained his concern.
Now that the sorcery school was ready, Alex went through all around the Nousant Kingdom to find the teachers. Days of searching finally came to fruition. He found some of the elderly sorcerers and sorceresses, who resided just outside the kingdom's area. When things seemed like going well, another obstacle was hindering Alex's mission.Most of the sorcerers and sorceresses were old and past their prime. At first, Alex was quite hesitant to hire them, but he had not much choice since they were the only available option. He decided to invite those sorcerers and sorceresses for a meeting the next day.On the promised day, ten sorcerers were gathered in the kingdom's hall. Alex was a bit nervous before approaching one of the elderly sorcerers, but after taking a few deep breaths he felt more confident and ready to greet those people. He stepped into the podium and greeted the sorcerers who had been waiting for some moment."Dear our honorable sorcerers and sorceresses," as Alex spoke, al
As the group anxiously waiting by the side of the poisonous river, Mephisto’s conditions turns to worse. Helene and Merith are doing their hardest to treat Mephisto but to no avail. The bedridden bird can only hacks and coughs despite their best effort, signaling that the treatment from Helene and Marion didn’t work as expected.“Kween...” Chirp Mephisto weakly.“Meppy! Meppy! Stay with me, okay? Don’t leave me yet.” Stella cries as she hugs Mephisto.As they argued, a giant shadow suddenly emerged out of river with a splash and lands in their vicinity. It was Marion that jumped out of water. On his side, he is holding a creature with a weird body shape, resembling an eel with whiskers and a bloated stomach.“Here is the Lele fish!” Marion shows everybody his catch. The fish can only helplessly squirms on Marion’s grasp.“That’s... You sure ‘that’ is a fish?” Question Salieri.“That no animal. That monster.” Rasheed readies his w
“You’re not doing much of a help, Helene! You know what? You’re a useless saintess!”Stella’s angered words were still spinning inside the saintess thoughts. Her pride was hurt seeing that she couldn’t heal Mephisto and Stella was disappointed in her. Despite the harsh truth, Helene decided to try again after several unsuccessful attempts.“Helene, don’t go too hard on yourself,” Pandora reminded her.“I don’t,” replied the saintess quickly, her hands still busy pressing Mephisto’s weakening body with all of her might. “I just have to … heal Mephisto and prove that I’m a worthy member of this time.”“We are all valuable and worthy, no one is superior to others,” responded Alex, “take it slow, Helene. Don’t rush.”Seeing Helene’s work in vain, Pandora decided to leave the scene and inspect the waterfall. As she peered from above, her eyes caught something long and dark wiggling underneath. The witch sharpened her sight and noticed that it
Every hero party member was now relieved after being trapped inside the maze-like, magic forest. As Alex looked up at the darkened sky and the sun was already on the western horizon, he realized they'd spent hours figuring out the escape."Gosh, how long have we been there?" he said with surprise.“Ah, finalmente!” Salieri exclaimed, plopping himself to the grassy ground and stretching his feet. “My legs are sore from walking for days and I can feel my feet blistering.”“Just man up and don’t exaggerate, you limp man” Germio replied, as always being grumpy. “We’ve been there only for a few hours.”As the rest of the group rested and gained some energy, Stella looked around and examined the new surrounding. All the elf girl saw was just an expanse of green meadow, but her keen hearing sensed something more. She quickly took a turn to the opposite side of the sun, following the stone path. It was slightly slippery from the moss that grew on almost e
They have been walking for around an hour now and yet they could not find any sign of exit. The party began to feel tired.“Sir Alex. Everyone is tired. Should we take a break?” Helene looked worried. She could feel Pandoran and the merfolks began to catch their breath.“Just a little more. Resting in the forest and got lost might be a bad idea. We need to find the exit soon.” Alex demanded the team to keep walking more because as far as he could remember, there was a forest that could trap them for days. Alex’s memory was quiet blurry at that time but one thing for sure that when he decided to take a rest in a certain forest, on the next day they were trapped for more than one day.The others nodded in agreement because they believed in Alex’s decision. So, they tried their best to continue walking while following the hero.More minutes have passed and they were still wandering around the foggy forest. Not only Pandora and the merfolks, the other coul
Alex and his party continued their journey to explore Tiryag continent after they had enough rest. They came deeper into the forest until they reached the area where fog started to appear. The fog was not so thick and they could see the road in sight. They might arrived in a new area and new enemies might appear anytime soon.“Hmm, this forest give me a chill.”Pandora commented. It seemed like she could sense something.“What is it, Pan? Do you sense any enemy?” Alex asked. He was leading the team by walking in front line.“I’m not sure. I just feel like something is bothering me.” Pandora still could not clearly stated what she felt once she came into this foggy forest. She tried to find out herself.As they kept on walking further, they could hear a sound like a giggle.“Hey, elf girl. What are you giggling about?” Germio looked at Stella suspecting her for being the one who giggled. The sound was indeed like a little girl and it fit he
It took almost a day until Alex and his party arrived in Tiryag continent. The ship was anchored near a beach that looked gloomy with eerie atmosphere. There was no sign of lives as far as they tried to search around it. However, they could feel uneasiness when they tried to see the forest right in front of them. Soon after that, they decided to explore the continent by going forward to that forest hoping that they could find some clues about how to locate the Demon King.The large group were walking peacefully without encountering something dangerous at that moment. But soon, they might find themselves surrounded with uncertain dangers and challenges ahead.“Rasheed, are you alright?” Alex asked after reading the expression of that big fella that turned discouraged. Despite of Rasheed’s big body, that expression did not really suit him. Moreover, Alex could remember something about his past life when he stepped into Tiryag along with his hero party. He believed th
“Avast ye, ye filthy camper! ‘Twas so cowardly of you to launch a sneak attack like that!” cursed Jillaab. He aimed his remark at the ocean, suspecting that the assault just now came from down there.That statement resulted in a twin pillars of water forming from the seemingly calm waves. And from within those pillars, two blue shadows appeared and landed on board.“Shiver me timbers! ‘Tis the Wow Warriors!” exclaimed Balastar, finding it hard to see two humanoid fishes walking towards him with two legs. “I thought it was just a myth!”“Wow Warriors?” asked Pandora. It was clearly merfolks that they saw in front of them. “Is that how you guys call merfolks?”“Young lass, we have no idea what this merfolk yer’ talking about, but the Wow Warriors we’re referring to is a stuff of legend, used to be told as a nighttime scary stories!” replied Jillaab, equally in awe with his comrade.“Aye, that be true, matey! Many a sailor have told tales of their terrifying encounters with the Wow Warri
It had been less than an hour since the ship departed the port, but the debate had been going nonstop. The main topic was caused by Alex’s rash decision to recruit the two pirates who appeared out of nowhere.“Al, have you lost your mind?” protested Pandora. “We don’t know about these two dirty guys and you just casually invited them aboard? On top of that, you entrusted them with the wheel!”“Not to mention that sinister-looking parrot, Alex!” Stella took on Pandora’s side. “This ship is too small for two birds. Mephy should be the only one on board!”Alex, on the other hand, didn’t directly entertain their banter. Instead, he just stood there, allowing each of his crews to vent their dissatisfaction. Meanwhile Jillaab and Balastar were having a god round of the ship, amazed by the beauty they laid their eyes upon."Ahoy there! Ye lot be blessed enough to sail the virgin ocean on this beauty, yet ye still find time to argue? Ye should be grateful for this adventure and enjoy the jour
“What’s wrong, Alex?” asked the King. “Where did all of your previous enthusiasm go?”“Your Majesty, I would love to do as just what you told me. But steering the ship is something out of my realm of capabilities.” Alex chose his words carefully not to displease the King. “I’ve been looking around for a while, but never did once I saw someone tending the ship.”Frown appeared in King Romeus’ forehead. “Didn’t you subdue the pirates before here in this very place? I thought you were no stranger to command a ship?”“Yeah, but that time a good person came to my aid,” argued Alex, his eyes were scanning the surrounding and by a pure stroke of luck, he locked his view on his aforementioned lifesaver. “Speak of the devil, that was the man!”Hamith, being pointed out by Alex, smiled and waved at his old companion, approaching him lightly. “Sir Hero, I have heard that there would be a grand farewell of the heroes here on the port, so I made my way here. And boy am I honored to know that you s
