2022-03-22 23:18:06In the time before, Elaina battles Lana. Retto caught himself in the middle surrounded by huge numbers of dark knights. Retto was already exhausted from the never-ending battle he was currently in.
After one dark knight was killed, another one spawned.
Breathing heavily, Retto clenched his sword tightly. Pulling every ounce of his strength to fight back the dark knights.
The dark knights all attack at the same time, swinging their swords down at Retto. Retto defensively blocked all the swords with his one sword. He overpowered the dark knight and leaped upward. As he fell, he rotated his body together with his sword, putting the knight's neck encircled around him all at the same time.
Retto immediately took distance and opened a potion in his pocket. Taking out the lid with his finger, he sipped it down hastily. Recovering his lost energy and healing up a few injuries.
But that wasn’t enough, because Retto’s muscles were already aching and he
HarusakiThe tragic foresight has come true. Elaina could not stop it from happening. Retto and Glenn will both fight for the people important to them.

Glenn’s battle with Lana didn’t take so long. After getting an opportunity to escape, he searches for Retto’s location to revive Elaina immediately. Lana didn’t chase him and turned her attention toward the destruction of Nell's town instead.“I can’t just give this item to you.”Retto responded.Glenn put a disgusting grin on his face. He looks from Retto toward Falfa.“Is that woman worth it? Do you already have Dia at your side? Why do you want to revive her? If she died here, it's her fate to die here.”Glenn said.Images of Falfa flooded Retto’s mind. The memories of Retto giving up and the girl who said many wonderful things about him. The girl that said the words he wanted to hear at the time he

“Those burning flames… Could it be? I’m sure about it. Phoenix wing was being used.” Ruti murmured as she forced herself to stand up. She has recovered some energy to stand up and walk. Still, it was far from the energy she needed to join the battle. It made her feel frustrated. Thinking about what kind of hero she is. The forest where she was not far from Nell town. In her sight, she could see the sky eventually turning red. Screams of people dying and monsters. “I’m the hero… I have to save humanity from danger… I’m the one chosen to do it.” She said and made a step. She felt unbearable pain in her chest. Bending down to the ground. She could not take the stress she was having. It flipped her stomach, resulting in her vomiting. In addition, her two reliable friends were killed in front of her eyes. “I can’t do anything… I can’t do anything…” She cries. she grasped the soil. “Pathetic seeing you in that kind of state.
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 126: Time to rest
Spirit possession - The user lets a spirit be fused into their magical flow. The ritual enables the user to contain and control the power of the spirit, dramatically increasing their magic power. Spirit possession grants the user spirit armor that has the same ability as the spirit who possessed Sometimes. ( Sometimes the user is granted a weapon instead of armor.)In order to use this ritual. The user needs to form a contract for something that has spirits, monsters, spirits, demons, guardians, angels, etc. ( Spirit and Spirit monsters like Falfa are different.)“She is truly talented.”Garnet muttered while gazing at Ruti in spirit-possessed form.“What exactly was that?” Falfa asked.“Its spirit-possession ritual. In ancient times, when monsters and humans lived in harmony. Humans often made contracts with monsters to get access to magical power. During that era, monsters were respected by humans.”&ldq

Four days later.It was an unexpectedly peaceful morning. The birds come flying freely again in the sky singing their favorite melody. The great forest returned to normal.

The pain remained in their hearts.Retto woke up in bed. He gets up and tries to move. His body still suffers injuries. Especially his belly, which has a wound that won’t close.He sat down on the bed.“The night is over.”Images flashed on Retto’s head. He gritted his teeth and punchedthe wooden wall in anger. He could not save his close friends Glenn and Elaina. The two people that give him a path when he loses his way.It was not like he regretted his decision to revive Falfa instead of Elaina.

The negotiation between Retto and the Dragon King ended very fast. In exchange for what Retto knows about the future. The future of the supreme dragon specifically. The dragon king let him borrow the three dragons they needed to fly to Eden City. “King, is this good enough? Should we decipher more information from him? Letting him go immediately is just…” Another dragon questioned the dragon king. “It’s fine… The information he muttered was enough to make me believe. My lie-detecting sense wasn’t working on him and his words were real." The dragon king transformed into his human form. A masculine man, body flesh engraved with dark patterns resembling magical runes. Darkened skin tones and long red hair touching the ground. “... I’m going to protect our nation at all costs. As the king of the dragons.” Retto, Falfa, and Lord garnet go back to the great forest riding on the back of the dragon. Landing the dragons pulled hu

One considered as the demon lord of the galaxy, Astraeus will destroy Eden city, seeking the power that could destroy the gods, Vector.“Retto did all of that?”“He has no choice. If he didn’t have a negotiation with me, this place would be ruined if worse… We made equivalent exchanges. After this battle, I’ll take the power Retto’s going to get after capturing the 2nddungeon.”“Do you know what kind of power he's going to get?”Dia asked.“More or less… But it is not important right now.

“What is the status of the matter with the evil mage?” When I returned to the office, the boss was wearing another sour expression. “As expected… I brought down the evil mage with my own hands! Right about now, that woman ought to be dying of embarrassment in front of the whole city!” My plan is flawless. The evil girl in question is now dying with her stomach twisted after drinking my poisoned coffee. My acting is very good and I’m never suspicious. She’s now unable to go out because of her stomach being unwell. The poison I gave her will result in laxative diarrhea. She probably poops on her skirt earlier.

Short story 12: Secret spy (Part 1)
A tough cookie like myself always begins his day with a nice cup of coffee. For us who dwelled in the shadows, making our living as spies, there was nothing better than taking up a cup of strong coffee to prevent our heads from feeling sleepy. Pumping ourselves full of coffee and drugs was the way of the world-weary. I mixed a drop of the medicine into my coffee and drank it down. This is my daily routine. I’d never been sure of what was in those drugs. I took them from a mail-order catalog. But they were super expensive, so I was convinced they were beneficial to my health. I took the cup and sipped it. “Bleh! So bitter…” This strong flavor was actually what banished sleepiness. Probably. That wasn’t written anywhere in the books, though. Coffee was bitter and gross and seriously tasted like mud, which triggered my gag reflex and made drowsiness my second priority. It didn’t taste anything like how they describe it in the spy novels. They wrote that black coffee was delicious or

Chapter 223: Voided Memories
Eden city, City hall. Dia clutched her temples trying to relieve some stress. “What is going on?” She whispered and stood up from her seat to get some tea. (I was gone for quite a while and problems pile up. Is that murderous Latina still doing her job? I take that back, she’s doing her job. She hated me more than anyone in this world. But she’s a big help, that’s for sure. I could not imagine myself doing this intense work without her.) Dia spawled back in her seat. She blow the hot steam first and sniff the relaxing aroma for a moment before she made her first little sip. She then shifted her sight to the paper laying on the desk. Most of them are report letters for spies Dia deployed to investigate other kingdoms' actions. The land that pull her interest the most was the neighboring country Ruki kingdom and The remote Islands of Youko. Youko wasn’t part of the world organization and they always push any offer from other countries as if saying that they could survive on their

Knights of order aid will be great, but I decided not to bother them. The last time I visited, I find out that they were having a long battle between the kingdom knights. The demon king might be gone, but the war continues. It will be inconsiderate of me if I ask them for a selfish favor. I have no exact plan on how I’m going to save Falfa. This might seem like jumping on a cliff, but I can’t help myself to jump. I have to save Falfa no matter what. This desperation is driving me to my limit.

For what reason she’s looking high up in the clear blue sky? For sure Alina won’t be adoring the blue sky. She is not the type of person who likes beautiful things after all. The craziest part was that Alina was standing in the same spot in front of the giant window for one week. She’s not sleeping or eating anything. Her eyes were simply fixed on something. Miku deep in her heart was worried and would like to ask what is going on. But if she does, that might be the end of her. In other words, death. Miku simply support her in whatever Alina wanted. There’s still the tea she serves earlier and Alina’s favorite strawberry shortcake.

Chapter 220: Witch Contract
“I’m dead!” I sat up as I woke up. Immediately I have my hand on my chest and check my wound. There are no wounds in my chest. My body is perfectly fine. I was skeptical myself and look around. The place where I found myself wasn’t someplace I know. There's no floor but I’m sitting. No walls or anything. The closest description I could ever think of was that this place looks like the starry night sky I usually gaze into. From some angles, this place looks majestic. I didn’t notice immediately, but there was a girl sitting on a throne in front of me. The face same as Elaina's. This girl was the Cosmo witch. “You really mess up there.” She said. “You here to help me again. Thank you so much…” “Help you?” The witch gives me a cold gaze. My limbs were torn apart and my head was skewered by a golden sword. “... Don’t get ahead of yourself. I’m not helping you or anything. Well, in some aspect we can say that I was helping you.

A 50-meter-tall dragon appeared out of nowhere. Monsters aren’t supposed to get through the barrier of Liana. The barrier of Liana is been protecting the whole continent for hundreds of years. While I was dashing in full throttle something from the past resurfaced in my mind. In the past, the time Falfa and I were still new on this continent. There was a case about the havoc of the horned bear. The main culprit for that was the wyvern that took their shelter away from the bears. I took care of them and finds out that a part of the barrier melted. The hole wasn’t clear to the naked eye and only I who had a gleaming yes could see it. Wyvern noticing the hole is simply dumb luck. However, there must be someone who can see the barrier just like me and… Is this event caused by my ignorance? I want to live life os selfishly thinking of my happiness with Falfa. I don’t want to live like a hero who will selflessly dive into danger ever again. I don’t want that feeling anymore. But why am
