HarusakiA month has already passed since my last update. Very busy studying some new programming languages and sharpening my artistic skill by drawing anime illustrations. I made the cover. I'm very sorry for such inconvenience, but the series will continue, and part four will be told in June and July. I planned to finish the series before the year's end. I'll do my best to make it happen. Thank you very much. Further notice: I'm planning on self-publishing. I'll make a website for it (Blogsite) I'm paying some editor and proofreader to fix my errors to make it awesome. I'm going to inform everyone when it was done. Thank you very much for your support. I know that I have lots of room for improvement. Thank you once again.

Dungeon of Zero Chapter 156: Conflicted hearts
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’

Dungeon of Zero Chapter 159: Continuous feelings
“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
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 160: Time with her
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
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 161: False hope
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
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 162: Treaty refusal
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

“Yuno kingdom being interested with the dungeon. The dungeons are supposed to be secret. Somebody must leak information.”Latina said worrisome.“I think all kingdoms already knew about the dungeon. After the opening of Eden city and the attack of the extraterrestrial. Their existence spread through the kingdoms. Not to mention, the other people that came from the first dungeon with us… They probably tell stories to other people or in their hometown.”Hikari responded.“Originally… Only Mari kingdom knows the dungeons… The first priestess is the person that summoned the player into this world after all. According to the stories in the past, players are heroes that were summoned to defeat the demons. But that is not true, they are heroes, but the target of players was the witch of the beginning whose hidden above the cosmos. This witch is also the supreme god everyone in Mari kingdom worshiped.”“This is getting confusing… The players' goal is to defeat the evil god. Does that mean the

“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. Feeling so much shame that she would rather crawl in a hole and die. I’m truly a genius. I told my plan to the boss.

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
Chapter 222: Our Fate and Bonds
Dashing at the dunes of the great desert back to Foire territory. I’m not planning on going to Fiore to ask for help from the knights. 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.

“Princess Alina… Your tea is ready.” Miko placed the cup of tea accompanied by several variations of sweets. As for the girl in question--Alina-- was busy glazing into the unknown. 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. Miku can’t do anything but have a deep breath and placed the untouched food back into her pushcart. “Good night milady.” Miku greeted her and bowed her head before leaving Al
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. I mean, you are dead right now and I’m the only one wh
Chapter 219: Two Orders
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

“Hngf!”The breath burst from his throat when her back struck the ground. Retto yanked aside the cloth that clung to his face and struggled in the darkness for a few moments before recognizing that she was in his bedroom.He fell out of bed in his sleep.Retto collected his blankets and climb back into the bed.It was late June now, and although the sunlight was getting warmer, the predawn morning was still freezing. It was mostly because the town they live in was located on a plateau. The lush green forest nearby also gives off a heavy breeze making every morning cold.Retto doesn’t particularly sleep too much. But this time he goes back to bed to get some sleep. But after moments of staying in bed eyes closed. His unable to sleep and give up.
