“I apologize, but I already have someone dear in my heart…”

I replied after recollecting myself from the shock of being proposed to.

Then, I bow my head as a sign of appreciation for helping me earlier in a dire situation earlier. I thought I was going to die for real.

“Will you marry me?”

Didn’t he hear what I just said? His eyes are sure glimmering and my voice does not reach his ear.

I took my hands away from his and then made a step backward.

“I truly appreciate that you saved me from the monster mage hunter, but my answer is final.”

He stood up and held my hands again. Pushing his face close to mine, saying:

“Leave that man and marry me… I’m the greatest. I could give you anything you want. Wealth, power, and fame. Expensive jewelry, huge mansions you can call home, wide lands, delicious foods, luxurious dresses, and everything material in this world.”

Before he got too close. I moved my hand and slapped hi

    “That was a massive explosion. Is everything going to be fine?”Asked the anxious Roze, looking at the giant flare that had just emerged from the entrance of Eden City. If it’s because of the powerful barrier placed on the city. The city is already turned into dust.Hikari was calm and made a small grin, turning her glance to Roze. She put her hands on Roze’s head and gently pated.“It’s his time right now… His time to show that he's one of the heroes. The fight isn’t over yet… But it’s not going to be an easy one.”She replied.The anxious feeling about Roze was still in her. Scared that she might lose another important person in her life.

This man defeated an archbishop like it was nothing.”Sena muttered in astonishment, seeing his companion drop dead on the ground. An archbishop is said to rival a demon king that took over an entire continent not long ago.It was devastating, but it was the truth. Sean accepted it and turned his glance to Velrum, who emerged in the thinning dust of clouds. The broken mask was already replaced and his face was never seen by Sena.“Now that one of the archbishops is dead… This means, that this city will be labeled as a threat to the church… Picking a fight with us is not a wise idea.”“We’re not the ones who first picked up the fight. It was your friend who made the first blow. I just protected myself… There is another way to fix this problem…”“What do you mean?”&ldq

    This is not a dream nor a nightmare. The proof that I could feel the sensation of pain is enough for me to believe that I’m in reality. But this wasn’t my reality. This is another reality. Before, the knight put another whip on my back. I caught the whip and stood up, glaring at his eyes. He looked so petrified at my action that he staggered and stepped back. “Those eyes… That’s not how you look to your superiors. You’re fired, don’t you ever come back and come here again?” “I understand…” But before I leave… I curled my fist and knocked the knight in armor to sleep. His beating is particularly painful. Leaving without getting in return is not an ideal one for me. When the knight fell to the ground with just one punch. The mining workers around me were in a state of astonishment. Disbelief about what they just witnessed. “Is this pickaxe mine?” I asked one of the workers. He nodded without saying anything. I took my pickaxe thinking that I could use it as a weapon. Just in

    I have been walking around for hours and am still unable to find my way to the next town. According to the map I’m using, the next town is supposed to be located nearby. Is this map old? Because I do not see any towns around me at all. I thought and took another look and then I realized something undeniable. The map is supposed to be read horizontally, but I’m reading it vertically. I’ve been moving on a different path all this time. The sun is scourging hot and I’m not able to go back to the last city I left. The hours of walking went wasted. Surrounding me is just a sandy place with nothing. My water bottle is already empty. The heat has already exhausted my body. No food left. To be precise, I didn’t bring anything with me, thinking that the next town was just around the corner. As a traveler, I would like to travel with only a few belongings. Right now, I’m regretting my decision. “I should’ve brought some food with me.” I

After biting and having a satisfying crunch. I took the cold root beer beside my plate and chugged it. Slamming the cup of root beer on the table.“Ahh~”I release a well-accomplished expression on my face.“So good!”“We’re very glad that Miss Hanayuki loves our dishes.”“It is so good… I don’t have a single complaint. The chicken is juicy and the skin is crunchy. The gravy is superb. The most important thing. Everything is free. Making everything more delightful.”“You’re quite right about that.”The orc woman said who was eating beside me. On the opposite side of the table was the little girl Shaymi.

Right about now, that woman ought to be dying of embarrassment in front of the whole city!” My plan is flawless.

    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

    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

I’m merely going to use the route from Fiore to Yuno kingdom. 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. I’m still full of hatred for the recent events. Why Belle would do something like this? Belle is not the type of girl who will order such a cruel task. I believe in her. If ever I got a chance to get inside the Yuno Kingdom. I’ll make sure to have a conversation with her.

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.

    “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. I mean, you are dead right now and I’m the only one wh

    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
