I would like you to use the mirror to so we can share information when we are not around. What do you say?” Alex requested his idea. This way could be better in case something happened.“Hoo, I see. Alright then. I am going to take the red one.” Vincent agreed to Alex’s idea.“Thanks, Vin!” Alex thanked.After having some delicious meals, Alex and his team excused themselves.Alex and his team went to the forest near the village just like what Vincent told them.

Mephisto joined Saliery while listening to him. For Stella, she took a nap inside the inn.“Mephy, what do you think about your mother?” Saliery asked.Mephisto could not really understand what Saliery was trying to say. Mephy could only look at him dumbfounded.“You know, I have been keeping up this feeling until now. But I don’t want to make it bloom yet. I need to be a worthy man first. Just like the Hero Alex.” Saliery started to daydream about something. He wished that one day when the time has come, he could show his worthy side so that Stella could really fall for him.CAWCAW!

Some of the food sellers looked so happy because their products were about to sold out soon and they could get lots of money. However, there were also some sellers who thought differently.“Excuse me, sir Hero. Please pardon my rudeness.” One of the seller approached Alex. It seemed like he got something bothering in his mind.“Yes, sir. What can I help you?” Alex stopped his shopping tour.“I’m sorry I overheard your conversation before with your bard friend and elf girl. Are you really planning to give all of those food to that crazy guy?” The seller looked dissatisfied.“Well, yeah. Is there something wrong?” Alex frowned.“Hmm.

Please please come in!”The two guy went inside and they were guided to the shopping room.“Woah! Is that the magic device you invented?” Alex looked amazed after looking at one beautiful item displayed on the middle of a table.“Yes! Yes! It is still not done yet but you can try it on! Go try it on!” Vincent took the magic device he invented. He turned and combined the materials into a necklace.Alex try to put it on. Alex could feel it.

Tomorrow we need to restock many things.” Alex told his friends. He was still thinking about Vincent. If Alex was not around, he did not know what might happen with Vincent.“Senor?

The scorching sun was reaching its peak, but the horse-drawn carriage ride on which Alex and his three friends had not yet arrived at the Nousant Kingdom.Throughout the trip, Alex could not sleep even though he had tried many times. Every time he was almost asleep, the pebbles in the road that made the carriage sway made him wake again."We've traveled from the village to the Nousant Kingdom many times. But it's still tiring." Salieri blurts out amidst the silence.Alex lowered the cloth that had been covering his face from the sun's reflection. He stares at Salieri with narrowed eyes—indeed, even though he's inside the train, the sun's rays still sting his skin."Are you tired?" he asked.Salieri nods his leaning head. Salieri's face shows both sleepiness and fatigue. Even under his eyes just had formed eye bags."I feel more sleepy," Alex said.Stella watched her two male friends without saying anything else. He placed both hands on his bent knees, hugging himself. But just like Al

Alex and Salieri's sharp gazes turned to Stella in unison. Give a direct reprimand to the woman."Hey, Stella. Don't say that," Alex scolded.Stella shrugged her shoulders indifferently. The corners of his lips curved downwards."I'm just asking for facts," Stella said before putting her face back into her folded hands.Alex's ragged breaths were heard. "Don't listen to Stella. I'm sure I'll take you to the palace," she answered firmly. "No one can doubt you, Vincent. It's only natural that you need to work on your talents again.""Because, no one immediately becomes an expert," said Salieri. "Oh, by the way, may I know how you came to have a talent for creating magic items?"Vincent was a bit surprised that Salieri asked that. Because honestly no one wants to know about his life."You... want to know?" Vincent looked uneasy.Without hesitation, Salieri nods. "Of course. I'll listen.""Actually ... this

It was confirmed that it was due to an order from King Romeos. Alex and his three friends accepted their escort even though Stella didn't look like she really needed it."Alex, are you sure?" asked Vincent when he and Alex had gotten off the stagecoach."Hmm?" Alex turned and nodded. "Sure. We've arrived, why hesitate?"Stella overhears their conversation. His cynical laugh was heard to steal the attention of Vincent and Alex."Hey, you can leave if you don't want to, but do you remember how quiet the village is?

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
