Growing old... I realized how time got shorter and shorter. I didn't feel like that a day is this short when I was just a kid or in my teens. I always go and put notes on how I'm going to finish this series last year and I barely updated anything. I'm so ashamed of myself, to be honest. Sometimes I'm too tired to touch the series despite everything laid down already on the paper. Forgive me for my incompetence... Sadly this will be the end of the update of this book. I was thankful for this opportunity to write. But this is not working in this platform. To those who read all the way here. I have my deepest gratitude. Thank you very much.
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
“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

White Flowers. Blood tainted flowers. Burning humans. Red lake. Marching giants. Dinosaur stuff toy. Hand drenched with blood. And... Lastly... "See you later, Retto..." The young boy woke up, his eyes widen in shock. He immediately make a deep breath and gets up. He looked around looking confused. "What are you doing Retto? Do you have a bad dream?" "I can't remember." Turning his glance on his hand. Droplets of tears came falling from his eyes. ... A hero with his shining sword defeats the demon king. Saving the people from endless nightmares. Heroes are powerful. With his strength, the world can be changed. So cool! Fascinated while reading a book. I made a big smile. It was already late at night but these wonderful stories keep my eyes awake. The picture on the hero stories always makes my eyes glimmer in excitement. Hero is a title bestowed to the person who saved a kingdom. "Someday with my sword, I will save our country." I was innocent and young when I made
“This is the most important mission the knight of the order will do for many years. After the discovery of the demon king's dungeon. The king already permits us to launch an attack. Many years have passed, we feared the existence of the demon king. People have died. Women and children are no exception to his evil. Now the knights will rise and took the demon king's head. And continue the legacy of the first hero who save the world hundred years ago.”Knights of order grandmaster said in front of hundreds of knights listening to him.Including our squad standing proud.“This is the time to take his head.”Commander Bladedarts muttered in a slightly angered expression. Having the same expression as Commander. Zeff clenches his fist to the point his hands bleed blood.“Heal!”Our healer named Maylene cast a healing spell on Zeff's hands.“Don’t let your anger swallow you. That’s what
Knights of Order with their squads invade the demon king's dungeon. In all possible entrances, the knights entered creating devastating damage to the dungeon. The knight commander of the second squad and the third squad. Used their magic and killed every demon minion guarding the demon king's castle with their might. “Absolute Snow Avalanche!” “Flaming roar!” Chaos and cries were heard from the demons who were directly hit by the magic attack. The sixth squad specialized in attack magic. Started their chant from a decent distance from the dungeon. From the right side of the dungeon. The fire explosion magic resulted in destroying the walls and the demons inside. “That’s dangerous… How about the knights inside the dungeon?” Zeff said to Commander Bladedarts. “It’s fine. The right side was given to the Sixth and seventh squads. Looks like they planned to destroy and annihilated the place first before the seventh squad entered the dungeon.” “That’s a great plan because the demons
"Just looking at them makes chills run down my spine. It's your first time seeing one so I won't blame you. For now, you should eat and have energy. I have to go..." Glenn said and get bread in his bag. He tosses one toward me and he gets one for himself. He seated on the big rock and started eating. I stared at the bread and sniff it. "There's no poison on it... I won't poison a fellow human." "I'm sorry for my behavior earlier... I was confused. Many terrible things happened today." I apologize with my head lowered to the ground. "It's the same as me... I understand you, the first time I woke up in this dungeon. I was at loss. I don't even know what I'm going to do... Your reaction is just normal..." Glenn looks so calm and ignored my action earlier. He acted cool on it and started chatting with me. "... What's your name?" "My name..." "Introduction... Since we're already talking to each other. Let's call each other by our names. It's easier that way. It is a great way to b
"I thought they are harmless! That one is surely trying to kill us." "I'm only referring to the giants. That serpent is another creature. The Splitjaw Serpentis a giant, elongated, legless, carnivorous, scarlet red reptile of the serpent species. It's supposed to live in a higher area. I wonder what's happening?" Glenn explained. I turned my head back and saw the Splitjaw Serpent chasing us. It's open its jaws widely. Light particles were collected on its mouth in form of an orb. Followed by that it throws a laser beam that pierced the surrounding. The rocks were melted into lava in instant. "Such power..." "It's not the time to be impressed... We need to do something." "You're an immortal right? Why you're running like your life was at stake?" "Are you stupid or what?" He answered my question with another question. Glenn then continued while looking his fixed gaze at the serpent.
