“I can explain…” Dia closed her eyes briefly and followed with a sigh. “No need, this book is irrelevant to the dungeons… I’m just a little disappointed that you sneak inside my office just to take these books.” “What are those books? What is this game? Who exactly are the players?” “I already answer that question before… Players are individuals from another world. Universe separated from ours… They come here to play this game, a game where they must find a way to defeat the god, the witch of beginnings. A game as vast as the universe. Different worlds with each lore and more. The player's task is to defeat the god to clear the game.” Dia explained. Everything is just a game. Many people already lost their lives in this battle. To find out that it was just a game to the god. I can’t just believe it. Lowering my head down and my vision darkens with rage. “After clearing this game what will happen?” I asked. Dia was in brief pause hearing my serious tone. She gulps her saliva a
The sky was still darkened half and the sun is still not emerging from its deep sleep. Cold wind blows from the east and flowers dance in its wake. I was sitting on the wooden fence waiting on the sunrise. Holding my sword and deep in thought. Glancing at my sword I look at my own reflection again. Seeing myself I could tell that I’ve changed. I didn’t know if it is for the better or worst. Those innocent eyes I have dreaming to become a hero were gone. Replaced by something unknown. Being a hero… This is a title I always wanted since I was a kid. Inspired by heroes' stories and later on, I find out they are called players. I always think they are cool and awesome. People fight for the sake of others. Don’t get me wrong, I do like fighting for others, especially for the people I care about. Dia, Falfa, my friends, and Eden city. Deep inside my chest. What is this feeling? This feeling of something is missing or taken away. “Glenn… If you were here I wonder what you would tell m
I tried looking in all streets of the city and still failed to find the where of Falfa. Where did that girl go anyway? Having trouble looking for her I find out that I’m lacking something from her. I didn’t know much about her at all. Knowing her would be a great help in searching.The clock is about to strike 2-chome.I decided to go straight to the town hall to attend the meeting. Opening the door of Dia’s office multiple people is already present. People like Velrum, Hikari, Roze, Ruti, and guess that I didn’t know.The guest wears all green clothing and pointy shoe. He has a very youthful face and a calm demeanor around him. He must be a chill guy.“She’s not here.”I said after I wheel my head around.“You’re already here, Retto. You look exhausted where did you go?”Asked Dia who walked toward me and offer some orange juice. I take the glass of juice and took a sip and answered.“I was looking for Falfa… I heard from Ivy that she suppose to be here with us in the meeting.”“She’
My head is spinning, I can’t even stand normally. I continue doing my best to hold my vomit. Like before I know that I’m no good on ships My sea sickness is not the only reason why I feel horrible right now. Everyone aboard is all holding on to anything that will make them stay still on the ship. For me, it was the steel railing on the side of the ship.Heavy winds and giant waves of ocean water continue to ruthlessly make us suffer in this travel. Misfortune fall on us when suddenly a typhoon appeared in the middle of the legendary ocean.The ship becomes very unstable for that reason.Falfa whose very cold to me these past days worried sick nursing Glenn, Roze, and me.She says we’re fine, but I can still feel a little distance between the two of us. I’ll use our time in the Yuno kingdom to become closer to each other again.Unable to hold on any longer. I threw up on the ocean.In the case of Glenn’s revival. He told us that he was a clone of Glenn from the date from Velrum’s labor
“Lightning blade!”Karva appeared behind me. Slashing with a sword made of lightning in his hand. The sword didn’t cut through the armor as I anticipated, but the impact could still give me pain. I turned my body. Making a diagonal slash. He jump up and stand on my sword and made another slash much more powerful than what he did before.The blade cleaves through. Cutting tall tree’s around us.“Relic is amazing! My hero is amazing!”“Stop calling me your hero! The only one who can call me a hero is Falfa and Dia!”I shot back.I reached for his arm and grab it tightly.“Gotcha!”No matter how amazing your speed is, you won’t get away from my grasp. That’s what I thought, he overpowered me and slam me down with tremendous force. My body is down on the ground. He grabs my arm back and delivers a consecutive punch.“Thunder rush!”Each punch dug me inside of the earth.“Fire arrow!”Falfa shoots magic behind the unmoving Karva. The attack hit and made no scratch.“Too bad cutie, fire is
Separated from Retto, Falfa found herself being dropped down in front of ruins. Concrete floors are already being eaten by moss. Ruin resembles a church destroyed by time. Only a few walls, pillars, and the altar with a statue of an angel praying were left. She immediately put on her high gear and prepared herself for combat. Holding her magic wand in her right hand. She observed her surroundings keenly. I could find anyone, but I could sense a presence. Falfa turned behind her at a rapid pace. A human figure is covered with pure lime-colored magic. Face and body unable to be seen. By seeing her features it was clear that the figure resembles a girl. “Fire arrow!” Falfa shot magic at her. “... No effect.” Not even a scratch from her. Falfa was sure it was a direct hit. She channeled a high amount of magic on the tip of her wand. Using her magic she creates a magic circle with the ability to amplify her magical power. It took a few seconds that her normal casting speed but would
Having nothing to do around the city. Retto decided to just go straight to the meeting and wait for everyone. “I’m sorry but Falfa was unable to attend because she felt unwell,” Retto said and closed the door of her office. Dia was busy looking as ever sitting at her desk and reading the papers in her hand. Mostly documents about projects and plans that would further result in the prosperity of Eden city. His heavy voice pulled Dia’s attention and turned her gaze on him. A long stare directly into his eyes made him feel uneasy. Dia is suspicious and it's probably a woman’s instinct. Together with the rumor of Falfa being his mistress. Ideas that could happen with her knowing must be happening. Retto for sure didn’t know anything about the rumor and who spread the rumor of him being Falfa’s lover while being a lover with Dia. So he normally closed the door to the office and took a seat on the sofa. A maid came near him and placed some snacks and tea to drink while they waited for
The time for the meeting arrived. Important people in Eden city made themselves comfortable in the office. On other seats on the sofa and chairs. Another meanwhile prepared to stand up.Dia returned and sat back at her desk.“I’m sorry that our office is not wide enough for holding meetings like this.”Having eye contact with her, she simply gave me her usual business smile. Dia maintained her cool and reserved expression. The sad expression she was wearing earlier cannot be found, no not to put it in another way. She simply covers it up.Despite her acting normally.I could feel that she wasn’t feeling exactly good.There is a stupid person that just hurt her feelings after all. My hesitation and pause led her to believe that there was something between Falfa and me.Later, I should have a private conversation with her to fix our problems.“Everyone knows what happened in our city. It's nothing to feel bad about.”Hikari said.Dia cleared her throat and started the meeting. She intro
