2021-12-25 19:21:09Laying down on a cold floor, I opened my eye and saw myself inside a tiny cell. My hands are cuffed and my right foot is chained to the wall beside me. My armor and weapons are taken away from my body.
I tried to struggle for a minute, but my strength wasn’t enough to break the iron cuff around my hands. Knowing that my struggle means nothing. I give up and just wait for someone who will come to explain everything to me.
Ever since I started traveling in the Fiore kingdom and defeating the supreme demons. The alias knight of darkness started to scattered around the continent.
At first, I thought of it as a mere nickname for me because I wore a black robe with me, but for the Holy Church, Knights of white wings making a move means, this is something very serious.
The only source of light was the single torch placed near my cell. There is stale bread on the floor within my reach, but the bread is already feasted by the mouse.

Lumine has cream blonde hair, but the face line of Dia and Lumine looks the same.Lumine stood up from her seat and float in the air. Leaping in front of Dia.“It’s good to see you, Dia.”“I won’t be deceived by that smile again… Also, call me big sister.”After Dia’s words, Lumine jumps to Dia and embraces her with her arms. Shedding tears as she did. Dia immediately pick it up and realized that her sister is genuinely happy that her sister is back on her.“What happened?”“It's a long story… But for now, I’m very happy to see you.”“...”Dia remained silent for a while and pat her sister's head.
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 77: New day
Opening my eyes from my sleep. I find myself laying down on a soft bed. The morning sunlight rays were seen on my window and on my window a couple of birds are singing. Feels like telling “To wake up.” I’m sleeping outside for many days and barely get to sleep on a proper bed. Waking up today, make me almost forget that I’m back home in Eden city. I get up and seat on my bed. My mind is still unstable and I still want to sleep. If I was given a time, I would like to sleep for a whole day for today… Just for today. Unfortunately, that is was impossible because I have a meeting to do. I stood up and stretch my body. I go to the restroom to wash my face and have a morning shower.

Brendan and Falfa also seat down and get some food to replenish their lost energy.“I’m sorry that it took some time… Let’s start the meeting in capturing the next seven dungeons.”Dia said.Accompanied with Dia’s words. Latina stood up and took a book and placed it on the top of the table. It was a book with a dirty gold cover and has a lock on it. Its dirt must be the result of its old age. Looking closely at the book. I remember that I have already seen this book before.When I was a kid I used to read the heroes tale in chief house. This book is one of the books on the shelf. I wanted to read about this book, but I never got a chance because of the lock. I still remember myself trying to forcefully open the book. Using full strength I never lift even a page from the book.And now, I know the reason for that. The book is extremely special.D

The story takes place in the time Ferris and I are still in the Human empire. Traveling each city, doing different things. Usually moving around place aimlessly. While we’re walking in the forest searching a way to a supposed nearby city. “I’m hungry…” Ferris muttered as she walked beside Laura. Laura’s stomach growls. She holds her stomach and make a deep breath. “I’m also hungry, the next city is supposed to be nearby the town we left earlier. I guess we’re lost.” “Master can fly to navigate the surroundings.” “I wish I can do it, but I lost lots of magic from the last quest. It will take time before I’m able to grow my wings again.” Turning my head around. I’m looking for a wild mushroom or anything we can eat. Unfortunately, I’m unable to find anything. The forest we’re in is full of giant thick trees. As the long walk continues. We heard a cry for help. “Somebody help me! Somebody!”<

Yuna is very apologetic to us. Ferris can’t understand why she’s here or what's happening. She looks clueless about what's happening. “How about taking us to your home? At least there we can discuss things normally.” She agrees with my suggestion. She brings us to her home. And in there, her mother is up waiting for her. “Yuna… A visitors? Are you Yuna’s friends? It's rare for her to bring friends. I’m surprised to see one.” Her mother looks very young. But her skin is pale and very skinny. She’s not in good condition at all. Just looking at her mother I can see that Yuna is in a real pinch. “Nope, they are not my friends. I have no right to be friends with them. I sold them off to a group of bandits.” “Yuna?” Yuna drop her knees on the ground and shed tears in front of her mother. Admitting her sin to us and her mother. Worried about her troubles.

“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.

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

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.

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

“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

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
