“This is an interesting development… To think that the man who pursue to be the hero decided to throw his dream for some monster girl.”Dante muttered as he watch the tournament happening in Eden town from his sofa. With a slight curve on his lips, his eyes filled with anticipation. Everything seems to be going in his favor.He took a sip of his wine and then sense a presence of a maid standing right behind him. The maid wasn’t someone working with him and she is in the castle for some other reason.Miku tends towards being curious about power levels. After sensing someone with the same or more power than her. She always came to check. In other words, battle them.But her being here has another meaning. Dante has no way of knowing what the last princess is doing or planning. However, Miku is enough proof that she is doing something behind the scene.Dante once thought that Aline and he has the same perspective in life. He even tries to give her some authority in the new Foire kingdom.
After waiting for quite some time, my name is finally been called. As usual, no one really cheers for me stepping o the ring. Not that I care about that small stuff. “The opponent, The noble man knight of Liana. Kinyo Goldenhart!” Just by hearing his name, the crowd goes into an uproar. A charming young man like him does have an impact on many people. Of course, I’m not jealous at all. Turning my glance on Falfa, Falfa is giving e her cherubic smile and clenched her fist giving me a fighting spirit. “You are the one… The lucky scumbag that took Miss Falfa’s heart.” “I have no time for some useless chatter. Let’s go and finish this battle as much as possible.” “That’s very cold. I’m simply being friendly… Ah, I don’t get it at all. I’m more handsome, wealthy, and talented. Why Falfa is sticking with some loser like you? Your face is average, plus your physics…” Is this guy for real? Falfa told me that she don’t even remember his name. Probably, he got rejected and raging. He sta
The harvest festival is always celebrated for three days. Understandable considering the number of events happening. The sun wasn’t resting yet but the tournament was stopped. Promise to return tomorrow afternoon for the semi-finals. The finals will then happen on the last day of the Festival.For that reason, Falfa and I still have time to wander around. Holding our hands, we walked down the street and checked out for anything that caught our eyes.Some supporters of the knight I just defeated glare at me like furious cats. Raging because I won the battle. In their eyes, Kinyo is an admirable protagonist and he’s supposed to be the man who will win the battle.His protagonist's aura is so radiant. It is too much for me. Maybe that’s one of many reasons he rubs me the wrong way. Not that I want to be the protagonist myself.I may have wanted it when I was little, but now that I’m grown up. I started to think that being a hero was n
Yuna was seen seemingly glowing white, her eyes turned radiantly blue and her hair turned to silver. After sending a glare toward Retto. She kicks the ground strongly to the point it makes a crack in the battle stage, which’s made of fine concrete. Retto came prepared to take on what was coming. Considering the one he fought was a relic wielder. Retto must be cautious. The Relic is the only one that can destroy relics. Yuna’s relic is not one of the original relics. We can say it was one of the knock-offs created by Dia while she resided in the Dungeon of Zero. The reason why she has one is still a mystery, but right now Retto could not care less. Knowing that a baby is coming into his life. Retto is more eager to think about his child’s future. Then things happen behind the scenes. After the first collision of their swords, Retto senses the heaviness after the impact. Retto had himself knocked back a few steps. The damage is not very serious. If Retto is using a standard-issue sw
Learning about the festival Dia came to visit Eden town again. She wanted to blend in with the crowd and just have a good time. Dia still does want Falfa to die and become her relic. But for now, all she wanted is to run away from the stress she’s had for a couple of weeks of her stay in the Laina kingdom. In addition, Retto being with Falfa is always bad news for Dia. She knows that Retto will always find a way to save Falfa. That’s proven by herself since she is Retto’s previous lover. Rettotendsf giving his all to save his most beloved. That’s just the way he is. Reason for Dia to fall for him.While enjoying the fun of the festival eating ice cream alone on a bench. Dia senses something wrong around her. The presence of Extraterrestrails… It's miles away from her position.“The taste of my ice cream suddenly became nasty.”Dia said and turned her head toward the man that suddenly appeared sitting beside her.“I wish I’m not the reason why you’re ice cream turned nasty. My body is
In a wide wheat field that expands endlessly in the horizon. Falfa was in the front looking a little sad. Carrying on her arms was a baby that seems to be Laura. She moves her lips as if saying something. She have a tear sliding down her cheeks and she turned around. “Wait! Falfa! Where are you going?” I shouted but she didn’t respond to my call. I have myself running as fast as I could. Stretching my palm reaching to the two girls whose most important to my life. … “Falfa! Laura!” I shouted and suddenly my body sat up from the bed. My eyes were in tears and my heart still racing. I chased my breath for a minute and clenched my fist. Thank goodness, it is only a dream. Seems like I’m in our bedroom. The sky is already darkened and stars shining bright outside. I heard rushing footsteps from the corridor and the slamming sound of the door opening. “Retto!” Falfa looking extremely worried immediately came to the rescue. She sat down on the bed next to me and hold my hand. “W
In the afternoon, the finals of the harvest festival tournament had begun. Only two contestants out of a hundred were left. I and the unknown masked man entered the battle stage accompanied by the cheering of the audience. Most of the audience are gamblers shouting the names of their bets. And, of course, I did place a bet for myself. It’s like getting two birds with one stone. Winning this tournament will make me get two rewards.Am I full-on myself? I guess I was… there could be more reasons. I already promised myself that I would do anything to win. I need that money for my upcoming baby.Winning this tournament is something I want to tell my child in the future. This will become a great memory for our family.That’s why I don’t have any reason to lose.“I cannot see emotions on your face, but I can sense the confidence in your demeanor… I’m quite dangerous, so please don’t underestimate my strength.”“I am not underestimating you at all. I saw you fight in the hot spring in Acacia
Deep in the forest where sunlight never reached. Snags and thick fog cover the clearing. This part of the continent was famous for being called the Dead forest. The name itself describes what you’ll see the moment you come here. The air supply in the forest is relatively lower, probably for the reason that the forest is located high up on the highest mountains on the Laina continent.When you're mountain climbing, hiking, driving, or doing any other activity at a high altitude, your body may not get enough oxygen. The lack of oxygen can cause altitude sickness.Altitude sickness generally occurs at altitudes of 8,000 feet and above. People who aren't accustomed to these heights are the most vulnerable.There are no monsters or animals who dare to live in this harsh environment. Even if there is a monster capable of surviving in this forest. Why would they? The forest has almost nothing to offer. There was no food. There is no prey for strong monsters. There is barely anything growing
