As always thank you for reading!
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
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
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
“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. He sat up and turned his head to his side where his wife was supposed to be sleeping.“She’s already up…”His someone trying his best to be a good husband and future father of their first child. Retto can’t afford the time to laze around like b
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
“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
“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
