At the same time, the magic tower construction was still going in the Nousant Kingdom. As the sun rose in the eastern sky, Nousant men woke up from their rest and get prepared for a new day of construction. Early in the morning, the sound of iron clanking and sawing wood filled the air. People were chattering as they worked hard for the tower. Horat and Hector passed the construction and still held a bitter feeling and grudge toward them. The royal advisor’s son seemed displeased seeing the view. He then murmured something, “those simpletons still believe in Alex, aren’t they?”Hector nodded. Horat glanced at him with a cunning smirk carved on his lips, “say, what do you think about provoking those people again, Hector?”“Aren’t you tired, Horat? They didn’t even heed our last warning!” Hector looked at his friend with a confused glare.“This time I know what will convince them,” Horat chuckled, “we’re going to tell those people that the magic tower can affect their cattle and field,
Chronicle of the Returned King Convinced
Stella spurred Mephisto to fly out of the Nousant Kingdom's sky. The enormous size of the azure crow's offspring undoubtedly attracted people's attention, including Germio and Rasheed who took a short break in the middle of the construction. The dwarf squinted to get a better look at who were those two people riding the bird. After recognizing that they were Stella and Salieri, Germio shouted and called, "hey you two! Where are you going?"Upon hearing the dwarf's voice, Salieri looked down and poked Stella's shoulder. "I think we should say goodbye to them.""Who?" Stella replied plainly as she was focused on spurring Mephisto."Dios mío, Stella. That's Germio! How could you not recognize his voice?" Salieri complained.The elf girl rolled her eyes and replied, “all right, all right. No need to be mad.”She flew Mephisto down to a clear field near the tower construction. Both Stella and Salieri then jumped down and were greeted by a question from Rasheed, “where are you two going?”“

Meanwhile, the dwarfs who were getting recovered from the peculiar epidemic were ordered by Lucius to be back to work. After general body checking, Lucius decided to pick only five dwarves who were allowed to go back to the cave.They were all glad about this arrangement, and some of them were still groaning and moaning in pain. But one dwarf man suddenly became angry when Lucius mentioned that only five were allowed to leave. Lucius raised his eyebrow, “Why so, Grumby? Do you feel like complaining?”The dwarf looked at Lucius with fury, “no, Your Excellency. We wouldn’t dare!” he spoke loudly, “but… I have five children and a wife who needs my concern and I have to get paid to feed them."Lucius looked around, and all dwarfs stopped talking and lowered their heads while avoiding looking directly at Lucius. This old dwarf sighed and then made the final decision.The Opa dwarf chose two more dwarfs with the most family member to go back to work so they could get paid and feed their fam

"He is still alive, isn't he? Don't you think we should...?" asked Slumpy, sounding worried."Oh, shut up! Just follow me!" said Snoozy impatiently. He stepped carefully towards the troll and kicked his leg to make sure his condition."Cut this shit off! We better hurry up," whispered Grumby."I guess," said Harpy quietly."Don't worry," said Snoozy reassuringly. "The troll can sleep up to a whole day. Now let's go!""Alright, let's go!" said the four dwarfs, finally decided to leave.They were still scared, so everyone decided to headed towards the path to Kingdom quietly. The rest of the walk wasn't easy, but none of them talked. Once the path ended, they headed into town.

"Excuse me, Sir, but what kind of reward do you mean?" asked Harpy politely.Alex smiled and answered them, "Just wait for a moment..."The hero man then took out a handful size cloth bag then gave it to the dwarf leader. Grumby received it with his wrinkled old hands and thanked the hero kindly. "Sir. I don't know how much this thing was worth. I hope you didn't spend it all on us. We wouldn't be able to pay it back...""Oh, just trust me, you guys deserve this!" assured Alex."Thank you, Sir. But we are aware that all of our works are due to your help to bring the ring back to our village." By saying that, Grumby gave back Alex' bag.Alex smiled and shook his head, saying, "Please don't think that way. I don't like to just take an advantage of people by hiring them freely. It will be not just a one time job, so I expect some more mining activities in the future. And in my belief, an unpaid job just lead to unprofessionalism. Moreover,

So, Pandora decided to ask them about it, "What happened over here?"As soon as Pandora asked the question, Alex turned his head and answered, "This tower is done, but I think to build some more.""Really!" said Pandora excitedly.Alex nodded and smiled. "Yes, by having more Wizard Tower around the Kingdom, we will have great barrier and protection as the wizard power will be stronger. Also it will be able to cover more space. So, we have the possibility to protect the population and also increase their defenses," explained Alex."Sounds great! Now we won't have to worry about the monsters coming and attack us!" answered Pandora.Everyone agreed with that and started to discuss their new plans. Soon, everyone started discussing about what the new structures should look like and where will they build the new ones.

Robert noticed a guy approaching him. It appeared that someone had come without an invitation or something. The guy stood before him and said, “Sir Robert.”And the nobleman bowed low. “Oh, hello again. Who might you be?” Robert asked.The guy looked up at Robert in confusion. Then the old nobleman broke the silence with his laughter, "Hahahaha ... come on, Sir Horat. I was just kidding."Robert chuckled and continued, “I am so sorry. Excuse this old man's behavior. Let me start from the beginning. Hello, Sir Horat."With a charming smile, Horat replied, "Hello Sir Robert, I like your sense of humor. I'd like to talk about something with you.""Oh, please come in! Sit down, please. Do you want some tea?" Robert asked him while motioning towards a chair.After taking a seat, Horat started to explain why he came to Robert to talk about something. "You must have heard about our Kingdom's new building project. You don't mind if I tell you right away, do you?"
Chronicle of the Returned King New Purpose

His determination to create a brighter future has pushed him further and better. Not only that, his love toward the Nousant Kingdom has driven him to devise several plans to strengthen his home.

There were always things he wanted to achieve to preserve not only his life but also his people’s lives.

This device would also be very beneficial for sorcerers who run out of magical energy. In battle or war, magic d

New Objection
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

The Cure for Mephisto
“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

New Path
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

Lost in the Forest
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

Tiryag Continent
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

First Obstacle
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

Two Merfolks
“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

New Arrival
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

Figure of Speech
“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
