Her eyelids twitched gently as a bright, scarlet light filled her vision. Rousing her up while the faint warm breeze touched her skin. For a moment, she felt a nostalgic longing rushing to her head. Yet, the second she opened her eyes, it faded faster than she knew. As if it was just a brief, fleeting feeling.
Then, an unfamiliar ceiling greeted her view with its glinting symbols strewn into a very long, crimson cloth. The golden thread was strewn into a small diamond symbol which decorated most of the ceilings systemically. On both sides, there were rows of lamps, hanging right below the ceilings and stretched out towards the end of the corridor. A corridor that was filled with paintings on both sides of the walls.
Every painting would have some kind of carvings around the edges, with all of them painted in gold. The drawing i

It has been a while since she walked through the corridor and encountered more than dozens intersections at the end.

Yet, all she found was the endless paintings on both sides and the same design of the corridor all the time.Another thing that she had realized was she felt the nauseous feelings rushing to her guts for a while. Though she hadn't reached her limits yet, an incomprehensible sense coming from the paintings made her want to puke. it wasn't the drawing itself that caused the repulsion on her stomach, but it's aura, which Elizabeth definitely couldn't see except that was the only word that would describe the feeling.As she walked on and on, the already branched out corridor became longer than before.

When she woke up, the familiar illumination of the corridor's lamp blinded her eyes for a moment as she reluctantly rose up. A loud grumble came out of her stomach while her throat was parched. However, all she could find were paintings, paintings, and more paintings. Not to mention, they made her nauseous even if she skimmed through them which made her motivation plummeted in no time.'What should I do…'Desperation filled her chest with the corner of her eyes beginning to moisten a little. She felt her heart tightened and her hands clenched into a fist. Face scrunched up, she stared at the ceilings with gritted teeth.

Regaining her senses back, Elizabeth let out a sigh of relief before her expression turned sour. Then, she shook her head and flashed out another determined gaze and gave a brief glance to the previous painting which lost it'd drawing.Something she had learned after a few tries, that whenever she came back from the random vision, the drawing of the painting would be gone and left behind an empty frame. Later, she couldn't use the empty frame to enter the trance-like state anymore.Looking at the next painting, Elizabeth was brought to another vision that showed her the medieval village from before. With the exception of some moss around every building and a few houses that were torn apart or abandoned, everything appeared the same.Next, her sight caught upon mu

Munching on the fruits she had taken from the nearby trees, Elizabeth sated her hunger to a degree. After she drank her fill and ripped apart the hem of her pajama pants to hold the fruits, Elizabeth decided to walk towards the east side of the grassland. Hoping to see any civilizations and find herself a place to shelter for the night.Whilst the summer sun hung right above the sky and shone brightly upon her figure, Elizabeth walked away and endured the warmth temperatures underneath her feets.She had no footwear to use ever since she entered the mysterious door. As it was already barefooted back then in the maze, not in an open field, she felt uncomfortable and unaccustomed to it. At times, she would feel a flinching pain by accidentally stomping on sharp pebbles or twigs.

As she was getting closer to the village, a series of clippity-clops noises echoed from the nearby wilderness on the far right side of her. Intrigued by the sound of the galloping horses, Elizabeth moved her gaze to the source. There, she saw a group of outlined shadows running through the grassland towards her direction.'Horses… with riders on top of them?' guessed Elizabeth as she squinted her eyes, trying to observe their figures amidst the clouded sky. But slowly, their appearance became clearer when the clouds parted away and let the moonlight shine to the ground.They were male humans with the lower body of a horse and equipped with bows and spears. They wore clothes and war paintings on their body, giving out the impression of a civilized tribesman. However, they definitely didn't belong as a human but rath

Waking up to the melodious chirping from the window, Elizabeth rose up and yawned softly. Her bed was far from soft, as it was a stack of hay covered with a sheet.

Although he's sleeping time was far from the best, at the very least, she was glad she could sleep inside a warm building. Not to mention, she got herself some dinners last night before she went to bed. Foods that were personally cooked by the chief's wife and sent to her room. With her stretching out her stiff body, a faint stench entered her nostrils and made her twitch her nose. Looking at where the smell came from, Elizabeth frowned. She realized that she hadn't taken a bath or shower for two days and now she felt her skin so sticky and uncomfortabl

"The dungeon…?"Her countenance became grimmer with that sentence, Elizabeth raised her wariness while she gazed at Noserdan. Yet, seeing the latter's clear eyes, Elizabeth began to relax and said, "But you won't do it, right?""That's right," confirming Elizabeth's query, Noserdan continued, "If I wanted to, I wouldn't treat you like a guest in my own abode. Few rotten apples doesn't make the rest just as bad."Sighing in relief, Elizabeth tilted her head and asked, "So… Do you have something in mind to make me look not so suspicious to others?""Unfortunately, I don't," Noserdan replied without skipping a beat, as if he already expected Elizabeth's question, "Us centaurs, was the kind of race w

No matter how many times they chanted the runic languages, the talismans and artifacts didn't respond at all as if they had turned into ordinary items.'What's this flow…'Looking at how things had unfolded, Aaron widened his eyes as he noticed the flow in the air shifted into something he had never witnessed before. He who was the most sensitive in sensing the magic power of the wizards realized that their flow became chaotic all of sudden. To the point they even cast the mos

"Valkyrie…"Muttering that name, the image of a beautiful woman in armor flashed in her head as she compared the image to the creature before her. She couldn't see any semblance for the creature to possess such a title. But putting aside the weird naming style, she continued her words, "What do you want me? Am I in the headquarters of the Sacred Heart?""You catch on quickly," nodding his head, Valkyrie said, "for your first question, I want your blood and life. For the second question, yes, you are right in the middle of our headquarters."'Blood and life… a sacrifice?' widening her eyes, her attention shifted into the second answer while she glanced to half round shaped steel restraining her limbs.

"So, this time for you to be taken by them and brought to that thing has come…"The familiar voice fell on her ears as she looked around her. With nothing but white space stretched into the horizon, Elizabeth felt the sense of Deja Vu and clenched her fists. A strange, uncomfortable feeling spread all over her skin yet she couldn't quite describe it. Rather than itching, those feelings were as if something had struck her everywhere, leaving no spots unchecked, giving her a gross sensation that made her shudder."What are you doing to me!?" she shouted, half expecting the voice would give a proper explanation for she knew that she was back at that strange vision she had for quite a while. However, another part of her knew better that the voice wouldn't respond to her. That was how it always was and she didn't think this t

When the first touch of twilight appeared on the far horizon, at last, the convoy of Humvees stopped at the middle of the road which led to the mountain range outside of the city. Unlike when it was high noon where many types of tourists and students came to the mountains, there was almost no one around this road at this time. Only a few vehicles would be spotted on their way.One of the soldiers got out of the car and walked to the very front of the line. As he chanted, he raised the plate-like item with multiple magic circles engraved in it. Performing some hand signs, he finally placed the plate on the ground and still continued his chant. Before long, a bright blue light emerged from thin air and formed a large oval shaped gate, hovering right on top of the plate.Backing away, the soldier went back to his car and the

Outside of the military base.The once tranquil night descended upon the spacious field which was filled with littered corpses and blackened holes. The moon had already moved to the far horizon as some of the stars twinkled for the last time before they faded into the dark sky. Though flames flickered everywhere whilst groans of pain became the flowing hymn of the once bloodied fight, most of the casualties were inflicted to the mercenaries."...This is crazy."A mutter was uttered by a lone soldier while he stood amidst the battlefield. Some of his comrades were trying to detain the surviving enemies lying on the ground. His task was no different than them but for quite a while, he could only heaps of corpses rather than heavily injured combatants.

When the sharp steel brushed through his cheek, the scarlet sword on his hand struck right at the demon's neck, bringing forth superhuman force behind it and destroying half of its throat. Instead of showing any reactions, the demon pursued further with five metallic limbs sprouting from its back.Most of the strikes were parried by Aaron whilst he observed the movements of his foe. Despite both being in deadlock for a while, deep down, Aaron realized that in an endurance battle, even he would lose to this artificial demon.'But it won't take that long.'As his eyes glowed brighter than before, his pace doubled in the blink of an eye, to the point not even the demon could follow.

Although the azure steel blade before him weighed almost five tons, Aaron still blocked it completely. A few moments later, his crystallized sword showed signs of cracks before he had tried to swat the azure blade away."Aaron…"Hearing she's called out to him had prompted him to turn his head and gazed upon her straightforward eyes. Before he could utter a reply, however, he felt a danger coming from his back and split his body into countless bats scattered around the place. Still, the blade managed to skewer three of the bats and flicked them to the ground.Appearing right beside Elizabeth, Aaron fixated his eyes onto the creature whilst he said in a grim voice, "You've become famous over the last few days in this world and weeks in another, dear friend.

"Are they going to be fine?"Walking beside Leonard and a girl that was as tall as her, with pigtails hairstyle, and white dress, Elizabeth asked with concern. Without turning her head, the girl who introduced herself as Violet back in the Esper's lounge, now smiling confidently and spoke,"It's true that things get a little out of hand. But considering his powerful captain is, he probably took out their leader in no time and then targeted the rest of the terrorists next."Hearing Violet uttered with such confidence, Elizabeth shifted her head forward and tried to dismiss her worry. She had seen how Kevin fared before she had time to evacuate since things became dicey. Although he couldn't deal with the wizard in a short time, he almost had the wizard if not for the do
