"Are you telling the truth?" Ryuto asked.Kazuki answered calmly, "Of course."Hearing this, Ryuto became even more curious. "What kind of gate is it? Is it a gateway to another world?""That gate is used to open a portal to a different world than the Earth we live in. That world is called Galliather, and I want to take you there so you can learn more about the Secret Palace," Kazuki replied with a smile on his face. "Yes, it's another world. I have a power that belongs to me and its environment."Ryuto was increasingly confused and curious about the other world that Kazuki was referring to. "How can there be another world besides Earth? Galliather? And the Secret Palace? What is that?" he asked.Kazuki smiled and explained, "Galliather is another world inhabited by creatures that are different from those on Earth. There are dragons, orcs, and many more. The Secret Palace is where I live there. I want you to see that place and some of its rooms like the weapons room, bedroom, throne r
“Hahhh… Now then, how about we check the next place?” Kazuki asked after letting out a tired sigh upon seeing Velda's behavior.Ryuto, who was currently adjusting his posture, nodded lightly. "No problem, I'll follow you." After all, he was trembling a bit from being hit by a gust of wind that almost blew him away."Okay, come with me."They continued their journey to the special room used to train Kazuki's magic ability. Inside, Ryuto saw several magic books and advanced training equipment. Kazuki explained how important magic was in the world of Galliather and how he had learned to use it well.After that, Kazuki led Ryuto to his private room where Ryuto saw how Kazuki lived in this other world. The room felt luxurious and comfortable, with elegant furniture and ornate decorations. Kazuki explained that he was the owner of the Secret Palace.The throne room was indeed very grand and beautiful, with ornaments filled with diamonds and gems. Ryuto was amazed by everything he saw and im
***Kazuki and Ryuto took a stroll around the world of Galliather, admiring the stunning and revitalizing natural landscapes. After a while of walking, Kazuki stopped and turned to Ryuto with a small smile on his face."You know, Ryuto," said Kazuki, "you were so silly earlier when you tried those potions. I couldn't help but laugh."Ryuto smiled bashfully. "I feel silly, but I'm glad I tried.""Don't feel silly, Ryuto. You learned about potions quickly, and it will be very useful for your future research," Kazuki said excitedly. "I'm also glad I could help you get started on your journey. Feel free to ask me for help or advice anytime."Ryuto smiled back. "Of course, Kazuki. I'm very grateful for your help. We've become good friends, haven't we?""Always," replied Kazuki with his friendly smile.Ryuto nodded in agreement, feeling optimistic and excited about his adventures with Kazuki. They walked towards the gate that would take them back to Earth, ready to embark on a new chapter o
"Fast! I have to hurry!!"Kazuki felt a bit nervous because he was attending a new school, but he was trying to adapt quickly. The AI system in Galliather's world, which had always accompanied Kazuki, provided useful suggestions on how to act in school."[Master, it looks like you should find a study group or a club to join peers in order to make connections and find friends.]""Yes, I'm considering joining the basketball club," Kazuki replied.(Oh, that sounds like a good idea), said Velda, the dragon who was now playing the role of an obedient pet lizard.(I saw the basketball game in the world that your school friends had when we visited, and it was so much fun!)Kazuki chuckled lightly. "Kuhuhuhh… Velda. I hope to become a good basketball player to amaze you with my skills!"(Tckk!! You're talking nonsense again, Human!)The AI system then provided some suggestions on how to get along with classmates and avoid conflict so that Kazuki could get through things easily."Thanks for th
***When Shiori suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Kazuki felt a little happy and laughed inwardly. "Hey Darling, how are you?" Shiori approached Kazuki with a sweet smile on her lips."I'm doing well, Shiori. You suddenly appeared, what's up? Do you miss me?" Kazuki teased the girl.Hearing that, Shiori's face blushed and she turned away while muttering, "Ermmm, I just wanted to say good morning and also thank you for taking me home yesterday.""No need to thank me, Shiori. It's only natural as your boyfriend," Kazuki said casually. Besides, his meeting with Shendo was enjoyable for him.After talking for a while, Shiori said goodbye to Kazuki and walked towards a group of girls to leave school.Ichiro and Izumi, who were nearby and had been secretly eavesdropping on their conversation, signaled to Kazuki to be careful. "You have to be careful with this girl, Kazuki. Although she looks gentle when she's near you, in reality, she's a very sadistic and dominating girl, you will understa
*** Tap tap tap! Typing... "Ah... Damn it, the drink's gone..." muttered the man as he tried to take a sip of his alcohol while writing. He was Iwatani Kaito, a 21-year-old Japanese youth who now worked as a Japanese novel writer that has become very viral lately. He had a skinny stature with messy hair, a body that smelled with poorly maintained muscles. However, if only Kaito would improve his lifestyle a bit, he might look slightly more handsome. Kaito sat in his dimly lit room, filled with trash, staring at his computer screen with his darkened eyes and pale face. He typed swiftly, gathering words that were sometimes difficult to express. Alone in the corner of the dark and dirty room, Kaito held a glass of drink in his hand. The sound of footsteps and bustling traffic from the uncleaned glass window only added to the loneliness in his heart. Trembling voices escaped his lips as he muttered to himself, "What am I doing? Will this truly bring happiness?" "Why do I have to be
*** Kaito quickly drank the remainder of his drink, letting the alcohol spread throughout his body. He felt calmer and better now. However, he also knew that the feeling would only be temporary. Kaito gazed back at the photo of his family and smiled. "Someday," he whispered. "Someday, I will leave this room and make my little sister healthy again. I have to fight and keep trying." He took a deep breath, set his glass aside, and began cleaning his room. Although it still looked dirty and messy, he felt like he had taken the first step towards improving his life. "Sighh... I'd better clean up this pigsty rather than drinking alcohol constantly," muttered Kaito as he rummaged through the trash around him. Kaito, who was cleaning the garbage in the dark and dirty room, was startled when his cellphone rang. He grabbed the phone and found that it was his novel editor, Sayuri, inviting him to meet at a coffee shop in the evening. "It's been a while since we last met, Kaito. How are you?
***Step... Step... Step...Kazuki, who was returning from basketball practice at school, heard a commotion and unusual shouts from a young child."HMPPHH-!!"Upon hearing the peculiar sound, he decided to approach and investigate its origin, as well as uncover the anomaly. He also chose to follow the sound of footsteps that he could hear due to his heightened sense of hearing, acquired after leveling up in another world.As he rounded the corner, he saw that the place was now empty, but he could still hear the echoes of their presence."What's going on there?" murmured Kazuki to himself as he approached the location of the commotion. He followed the footprints left behind by the fleeing kidnappers and discovered a small abandoned bag on the ground. Kazuki checked the bag and found the child's identification card."So, this is the bag belonging to the kidnapped child," he remarked to himself with concern. He then followed the fading commotion and attempted to locate the whereabouts of
