2022-01-18 21:25:14There are too many of them. Defeating them all is impossible. Fighting them is not making a significant change on the battlefield. Extraterrestrial appearing in front of us is stalling us on saving people. We barely move from the spot we first fight.
At this rate, my energy would be dry out. Something that I can’t let from happening.
Octopus extraterrestrial rapidly move forward and launched its tentacles in my direction. When its tentacles reached my attacking range. I immediately sliced them down into pieces. I move toward its giant head and thrust my sword inside. From the inside, I move my sword downward until my sword reached the soil.
I immediately turned my glance to Falfa, Ruby, and the useless cat.
“We’re running! We can’t defeat these monsters in our state.”
“What are you talking about, Retto? The mission said that we need to relocate the people from this town to Eden city. If we failed to do that we’re going to die.”

She leads all of us to the safest way possible.” The white cat cuts in with a smug face. “Suck on you Retto! I’m not useless after all. I save all of these people alone by myself.” The white cat was boasting herself with her chest high up. The little kids approached her and play. “Wow, so cute.” “So soft.” “Hey! I’m not a toy you know! Get off your hands away from me.” “Here enjoy this fish.” A little girl gives Ivy a fish. Ivy’s eyes sparkled and started to have a drooling face.

On top of that, was her melancholic eyes and peerless beauty. She’s cool and calm all the time. She is unpredictable and powerful.

Knights give her a prime example of what a knight should become.But right now, I feel like I just found out about her, it is fun to know. I wouldn't say I’m having fun.

(Trail day 5)Two days later, we left the town of Nell and started our journey to the east, Eden City.We’re staying in the same camp for days for a reason. We constructed a plan to make our journey more efficient. Walking to Eden city will take two weeks. To reduce that time, we need to think about something.Falfa then suggested something.“How about we made a carriage?”“Come to think of it… Riding is better than walking. But I have never made a carriage before.”Ruby said and turned her head to us.Same with Ruby. I had never created a carriage before.The carriage looks very simple. It’s a four-wheeled vehicle pulled by monsters or animals. Creating it might be easy.“ My master and I created one before… I can teach people to create six carriages for all of us.”Falfa was raised by a blacksmith. I never knew that she knew how to create a carriage.

You’ll be part of my life forever. Dia is very understanding and kind. I know she would understand my feelings. I mean, how can I resist this feeling? This womanly feeling stirred in my heart. I’ve been living for 50 years. This is the first time I felt these emotions… Is this love? When you took me away from my town, I started to learn how to masturbate.

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

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.

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.

There’s still the tea she serves earlier and Alina’s favorite strawberry shortcake.

“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
