Dungeon of Zero Chapter 164: Shift within the wind
After the meeting, I decided to approach Dia to talk about our problems, but she refused and told me to give her some time and space. It hurts me to be unable to fix things immediately and decide to follow what she wants. Velrum and Glenn invited me to the laboratory to give me some brief explanations about the upgrades to my normal armor and gun. As expected for all of Velrum, the upgrades are superb. Especially the newest bullet he develops.“This is the same red gem Glenn uses.”I said as I stared at the pretty ruby stone.“That’s right, It was my idea to fuse it with a bullet. That red gem compressed thousands of magic inside of it. Triggering your gun, you can shoot thick bursts of magical power.”Glenn said.“Great… Using this feels like I’m using my own magic.”“Be careful in using those gems… Compressing magical power is hard. Because you need multiple people or one person with the huge magical power to generate one of those red gems… You are lucky that I’m here to donate some
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 165: To where this time brings us
After dinner, Falfa invited me to her room to have a private talk with me. I behave as I waited for her. I’m anxious about everything. I never thought that many things already happened without us knowing. This must be heavy for Falfa who kept this a secret his entire time. Or probably she told the previous me about this and we failed. Falfa won’t betray me, that is the way she was. Overthinking would just lead me astray. I should just talk to her to find out the answers. The door opens up gently. Falfa whose wearing her pajamas appeared with her hair a little drenched. I was stunned after seeing her. I know she become an absolute beauty when she evolved into her adult form. But I never think that she could be this gorgeous. My heart is skipping. Suddenly the atmosphere of the room got nicer just by her being there. “Lala and Nana are already asleep in their room. They seem very tired playing all day outside.” Falfa said and sat down next to me while she continue to dry her hair wi
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 166: Hidden nature
“Dia!” Latina hurried inside Dia’s office in the middle of the night. Still in her cute cat pajamas. “What’s with that rush? Is there a pervert in dog pajamas?” “Nope, no time for joking around… Three of our sword relics were stolen.” “What?! When did this happen?” Latina slammed both hands on Dia’s desk aggressively and replied: “We’re still under investigation. Hikari is currently doing her best to find out the culprit…. Dia, those fairies come here interested in our weapons. I’m thinking that they might be the culprit… Nope, I’m certain of that. Yuno kingdom queen must be desperate to conquer the third dungeon of Zero.” “I know… Yuno kingdom was interested in clearing the third dungeon. But I’m certain that Barnes and the little fairy had already left after the meeting. Fairies and elves had different magical presence surrounding them. I kept track of them when they left.” “Then, why have the relics gone missing?” Dia pinched the bridge of her nose. Closed her eyes and took
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 167: Rainy night and Starry night
Going to Yuno kingdom without anyone knowing is the only way. That’s what the witch of the cosmos said to me before she vanished. I hate it, but it was probably the only choice. The witch of the cosmos might be treating me as her plaything. I can’t deny that when things go sour. Her helping hands never failed me. Like what happened in the second dungeon without her help, I wouldn’t have been able to get my second chance. Her help was inconsistent and she only helped if she wanted. Because of that, I can’t completely rely on her. Still, I'm thankful to her. I had my glance fixed on the sleeping Falfa. I gently fixed her hair. Put my hand on her forehead and check her temperature. Falfa’s fever is going low. I wonder when she’ll be fine. The moment she’s ready, we’ll immediately depart for Yuno kingdom. A loud thunderous sound echoed outside. The rain got heavier too. Turning my glance outside, I could see a giant towering magical aura. The aura only appeared for a few seconds and d
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 168: Reminder of origin
Seeing them in a dire state. Falfa and I immediately came to their aid. We do have plenty of bread in our bag, but it won’t be enough to satisfy everyone. I started to feel bad.“Kind sir… Is there water?”A one-armed man asked.I feel sorry about him because I feel the water Falfa and I brought is all empty.Having nothing to give.I apologetically bowed my head.“I’m sorry mister, but there is not enough water with us.”The old man made a sad face. Bowing his head to m and turned his back away.Falfa put her hand on my back.“There is nothing to feel sorry about. This is none of your faults after all.”“I know that, but I can’t just leave these people like this… I have to do something.”“I know you would say something like that… That’s one of the reasons I fell in love with you. Retto’s heroic heart might be swaying from time to time, but I know you won’t abandon people in need. You’re a true hero.”Falfa said.“Stop saying those kinds of things… I don’t think I’m qualified as a her
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 169: Darkened lands (Part 1)
Three days have already passed since we left Eden city and decided to travel on our own to the Third Dungeon of Zero. It doesn’t take long for us to travel through the great desert. Desert-based monsters do appear in our way. There are monsters that we can defeat and monsters that we can’t defeat, like colossal sand desert sand worms. Desert sand worms' bodies are immune to the body. Physical and magical attacks. Defeating monsters like them is impossible for us. Encountering one leads us to flee. Arriving at the land where I came from, I was astonished at what I saw. Multiple towns and cities were destroyed. Few cities survived but they are in a critical state. Few of those surviving cities are Yuname city. The first city we found after our long journey. Walking in the streets, I could feel the bloodlust in their gazes. If not frightened, make an expression and immediately flee from our presence. While we stroll inside the city. Three knights come to face us with their swords un
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 170: Darkened lands (Part 2)
“Cheers!” Everyone yelled, happily celebrating after the demon army’s defeat. With booze on their hands, they chug down in satisfaction and eat as plenty as they can. “Mister… Your wife is such a great wizard.” “You’re wife is awesome.” “She’s not just beautiful… She’s also useful, unlike my wife who can’t even wash dishes. Hahahahaha.” Everyone is praising Falfa for what she did. How about me? I also did something on the battlefield. I’m not an attention seeker, but at least, I want someone to acknowledge what I did. “Here drink more…” The drunk said and offered another cup of booze. “I’m fine, I can’t take too much alcohol.” I replied. I don’t want to be drunk. One of the feelings I despise the most is the feeling of being drunk. Being unable to control my actions and thoughts with my mind was dangerous. There was a time I got drunk and I continued to vomit every single meal I ate during that day. My head is dizzy all the time too. I hate it and I pledge not to become dr
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 171: Darkened lands (Part 3)
One month since Retto and Dia left Eden city.Dia has her teeth gritting while she looks toward the single piece of paper in her hand. She was raging to the point she wanted to punch someone.She put the paper down on the table and in the office were she and Latina. Latina is smiling happily while Dia was suffering. Enjoying her cup of tea and snacks.“What are you smirking about?”“Nothing.”Latina said with a very big smile.Dia knows that Latina is enjoying every bit of stress Dia is currently in. Today was daylight and Dia didn’t want her true nature to be exposed. As much as possible, she compressed her true personality, and in the whole city the one who probably knew the truth was only Latina.Retto didn’t know, but Latina was his little sister. Not by blood. A long time ago, when Brenn was traveling alone after severing his ties with the players. He met a war survivor, Latina. He lends his hand to her without asking for an exchange. After Brenn died, saving the one he loved 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. And here’s what my boss had to say after silently lending his ear. “So I suppose you saw her dead in embarrassment with your own eyes?” “Of course not.” Seeing someone dying is something I don’t want to see. “...” At this point, my boss let out a huge si

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. If ever I got a chance to get inside the Yuno Kingdom. I’ll make sure to have a conversation with her. Overthinking about it won’t br

“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.
