Chronicle of the Returned King Ray of Hope
“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.
Chronicle of the Returned King Magic School
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
Chronicle of the Returned King New Teacher
The children felt traumatized by the elderly sorcerers and sorceresses and told their parents about it. Feeling concerned, a group of parents then came to see Alex and complained about it.Alex was surprised to hear the news, he then promised the parents by saying, “I truly apologize for the inconvenience, sir and ma’am. We’ll find a better solution for this issue.”As the parents left, Alex sat alone in the kingdom’s garden with confusion. He still didn’t understand how things turned this way. His intention for building the sorcery school was to show people how important it was for the Nousant Kingdom to have sorcerers and sorceresses well-educated before putting them in the tower to help the kingdom. Alex rubbed his hair back and forth, then sighed heavily as he hung his head down and muttered to himself.“What am I supposed to do now?”-----Helene was taking a stroll around to unwind from the shrine’s busy day when she saw Alex sitting alone in
Chronicle of the Returned King Realization
Alex's verdict in choosing Helene and Pandora as the new teacher in the sorcery school wasn't wrong. The two ladies did their job excellently and made the children enthusiastic and eager to learn about sorcery. The new pupils of the school were more than motivated to understand various kinds of sorcery day by day.Helene patiently taught each of the young children how to manipulate manna and heal. She started demonstrating her healing ability and how to do it with an injured bird whose wing had broken from crashing the school's window. She spoke gently and calmly, "watch and learn carefully."Helene put her palms over the bird and closed her eyes. She then blew a little of her breath to the bird, causing it to flap its wing. The pupils gasped in awe as they noticed the bird wasn’t injured anymore and can quickly fly again. They cheered in happiness and clapped proudly. One of the pupils questioned, “how did you do that?”“The key to healing is focusing on the injured area. You can als
Chronicle of the Returned King Build the Magic Tower
Not long after the King of Nousant ordered him to build the magic tower, Alex quickly gathered as many people from the kingdom as possible to help construct the said tower. He walked to the royal square along with Germio and Rasheed and started to announce the news. The young man saw numerous people gathered in the square, doing numerous activities from selling groceries or just hanging around at the pub located at the corner of the square.“I don’t think it’s a good idea to get in and spread the news about building the tower,” Germio who seemed uninterested at first chattered as he followed Alex walking toward the pub’s door, “I’m not so sure what to expect with these humans, They seem weak as if they haven’t eaten since days ago and don’t have enough strength..”Alex snickered and swung the door open, smiling at some pub diners. “Why are you so pessimistic, Germio? You’ll never know until you try!”The three men then walked into the counter and ordered something to drink. As their r
Chronicle of the Returned King Construction
Weeks ago, the dwarf village received a letter from the Nousant king that asked them to help mine the manna stones, the main material for the tower. At first, the dwarfs seemed disinterested because they had many things to do, but they agreed when knowing that the king promised to pay them bountiful money.“There’s no way we’re going to reject this offer!” Lucius the chief dwarf spoke to his people, then declared that he would rally some of the best miners in the village to do the job.All dwarfs were filled with joy and enthusiasm upon hearing the news. Just in a short amount of time, almost hundreds of dwarfs were volunteering to mine the magical stones. After a few periods of selection, seven dwarfs were chosen as the main miners. Doc, the absent-minded dwarf appointed himself to be the leader of the group which consisted of other six dwarfs. He was also responsible for reporting the mining progress to Lucius and ensuring the dwarf miners were doing their job.Since that day, every
Chronicle of the Returned King Disease
Almost everyone in the dwarf village wasn't safe from the contagious disease. Only a few people were still healthy from the epidemic. Lucius felt that he needed to inform Alex about the disease that was holding his people down from mining the manna stones. He then ordered one of his trusty dwarfs, named Brokk, to visit the Nousant Kingdom and tell what was happening there.“You should go there, Brokk,” Lucius told him one day from a small hole in the door that led to his room. The chief decided to isolate himself to prevent the illness from spreading to the remaining healthy dwarfs. “I can’t go now, or I’ll risk myself dying on the journey.”Soon, early in the morning while the sun just peeked out from the horizon, Brokk left the village with his loyal donkey and set out to the said kingdom. Brokk finally arrived at the front gate of the prosperous kingdom just when the sun rises high. He jumped down from his donkey and led it to the closed, giant iron gate. Two guards noticed an unus
Chronicle of the Returned King The Cure
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,

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
