HarusakiThis might be the last chapter for this year. I'm very grateful for the people who continue reading Dungeon of Zero. The update is slow but I'm working on it especially since the end of the story is getting closer and closer. We're still in a very long Part 4. This part will have three acts. We are in Act 2. The story in part 4 will center around Falfa and Retto's relationship. There might be a mundane chapter. But as always there will be lurking danger in the shadows. I'm working to learn programming skills so I'm unable to write sometimes. I'm sorry about that. In spring, Dungeon of Zero is expected to end. I'll work my butt out and publish as many chapters as I need. Once again thank you very much! Happy new year!

Dungeon of Zero Chapter 210: Good news and Bad news
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
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 211: Yuna's strenght
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
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 212: Angels, Fairies, and Extraterrestrails movements
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
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 213: My life is small price to pay for you
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
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 214: Harvest festival final day
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
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 215: Air of anxiety
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
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 216: There is no options for this fateful tragedy
Belle is still making an uneasy expression around Dia. On the other hand, Falfa looks stressed for reasons she didn’t want to discuss. As for me, seeing my former lover and my current lover sitting opposite each other is plain awkward. “Spaghetti meatballs… These bring back memories.” Dia said. “It was you who teach me how to do this dish. I’m happy that it turned out great.” Falfa said and then helped me have a serving on my plate. “I can at least serve myself.” “Don’t say that, It wife works to spoil her husband sometimes.” “That’s very sweet of you Falfa…” Dia said in a sarcastic tone. Falfa failed to sense it and pass the plate of spaghetti. After putting a small amount of serving on her plate, Dia offered the plate to belle whose being very silent all this time. Belle shook her head and eyes drawn down. “What’s the matter, Belle? Don’t you like my spaghetti?” “I’m quite full I eat a lot earlier.” “Her stomach is upset for the things I told to her. It's not my intention
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 217: Bored witch high above the cosmos
In the cosmos.“The timeline of events changes yet the already written page of their fate never changed. Poor Retto and Falfa, will their love come to a happy ending?”The cosmo witch muttered with her eyes fixed on the page of a red book. She flips seven times until the page turned blank. The witch made a grin on her face thinking that they aren’t that hopeless.This is one of the instances the impossible turned into possible. However, sacrifices should still be made.The witch flipped the pages again three times and read within her mind.“This will fix my boredom…” She said and then turned her glance directly at you.“Oh, I didn’t notice you’re there again… Umm, did you miss me the ever-beautiful, witch of the Cosmos, Elaina…”She placed her hand on her ears.*Whispers~ Whispers~*“What is it? Umm, I’m weird? I’m evil? Ummm, I see… I see…”*Whispers~ Whispers~*“If I’m good? I’ll be helping Retto?”The witch placed her hand on her head and then her fingertips slide to the bridge of

“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.

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.
