2022-04-27 12:02:28After the defeat of the Luster Dragon. An altar appeared in the middle of the boss's room. Hanayuki gestured her hand toward the altar and grinned. Her smile was like saying that the grief of losing a friend is finally over. Ninym was overjoyed and immediately walked to the altar.
The altar glows in brilliant blinding light for a few seconds. The light formed a small gem with all imaginable glowing inside of it.
“So pretty.”
“The spirit gem will only appear to the spirit user with a great bond with her spirit friend.”
Holding with both of her hands. Ninym's tears drop on the gem.
“I can see my friend again… Thank you so much Hanayuki.”
“I’m happy that I could help. Too bad we can’t revive her inside this cave. The spirited game has a condition on item activation. It needs to be nighttime to activate the gem.”
Tears were still in her eyes. Ninym wiped it with her arms.

After the ambush, Hanayuki immediately calls the knights and hands over the band of thieves she had just caught. The knights are delighted by Hanayuki’s assistance in capturing the wanted woman. Leaving plenty of rewards for Hanayuki. Without hesitation, she took the money and waved her hands.The day was over and they were all returning to the Inn. Inside the room, Hanayuki finds the perfect opportunity to have a conversation with Ninym.“Sorry… Our meeting wasn’t an accident. I’ve been tailing the woman named Rosa this entire time… I’m looking for proof if she is truly the leader of the Raven thieves. Finding a perfect opportunity to capture her.”Ninym listened carefully to the apologetic Hanayuki. She shook her head and took a glance into Hanayuki’s eyes. No hint of anger or negative emotion was found in her. A nice smile was presented.“I understand… That means Hanayuki was there wh
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 151: Dia's homecoming
“We’re here… The holy city… Mari kingdom, the capital city, Elysium.” Ruti said with a big smile on her face. Lightcrest had their family originated from this city before they go to Fiore kingdom thousand years ago according to history. The scenery around the city sure is pleasant and paradise-like. The city is not crowded as I expected it to be. There are barely any structures around us. The only structure that stands out was the giant temple in the city's heart. The temple was called Light sanctuary, a place where the angels are said to appear. Inside the temple, it will hold a meeting that will decide what happened in the world. Turning my glance to Dia. I could sense the uneasiness on her face. “What’s the matter?” “Umm, Nothing… More than hundreds of years have passed since I set y foot here. I wonder if they can still accept me.” “They invited you… Of course, they will give accept you here.” Ruti said to Dia. “I wonder if it’s okay…” “I never mentioned it before, but t

“Don’t tell me these things are mixed into the dish…” Dia was sitting across from me, glaring hatefully at her special lunch, which was the same as her. For no reason other than the price, we both chose the most inexpensive option, but apparently, she had found something disagreeable about it, “You don’t like mushrooms?” Dia asked, peering at her plate. She had carefully removed the mushrooms from her pasta. Dia glared daggers at the limp pieces of fungus separated from the rest of her meal. “I hate them! I mean, they grow off of trees! This means that these things are the trees right? I don’t make a habit of eating trees, plus they have a smiley texture, and worst of all, they have this strange shape! It is vile. I should be the one asking about how you can manage to stomach them. It makes no sense!” She claimed, puffing out her cheeks. I saw now that Dia had built up an irrational hatred toward mushrooms. “You sure did have some childish side… Please take and eat some. Havin
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 153: Surprise in the meeting
Early in the morning, all the invited people to participate in the world leaders' meeting were all gathered inside the holy temple. Inside the wide room, Wide beautiful view of the entirety of Mari's main city. Thick towering white pillars and polished white tiles with diamond patterns. Dia together with us arrived earlier than the others. Already seating on one of the seats was one of the world leaders. He doesn’t wear a top. He only wears red jeans and red cope. Part of his hand was scale-like lizards. Noticing us walking he had a stared at me and his eyes widened followed by a small grin. Beside him were two similar-looking girls in maid outfits. Girls with horns and dragon tails. One of the maids bends her body and whispers into the topless guy's ear. Those features… Seems like The Supreme dragon race isn’t extinct in this timeline. History had changed. In the new reality, the supreme dragon might also be one of the world leaders. “I felt a sudden fear.” Falfa said as we passe

They vanished… Without a trace… Like myself, everyone in the meeting was surprised by what they saw. “Is that some kind of magic?” “Nope, I didn’t sense any magic chanted… More like she performed some kind of miracle.” Ruti responded. “Since everyone is here the meeting should start.” “What did you do to them?” “Umm… They don’t come here because they are not invited… They’re ever been invited. They never set foot in Elysium nor this sacred temple. They never even set foot here in my kingdom.” She said. Taking a clear glance at her with my gleaming eyes. Colors that I usually see were not found. I can’t see anything from her magic or life energy. “Why do we have the same face?” Dia asked standing up from her seat. She simply shook her head and turned her body away from us. “A coincidence, I guess… Don’t think too much about yourself. What’s important is that the temple returns to its peaceful state. I’ll leave the meeting to the pope. For the people here, I wish that we all
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 155: Wish and Distant warmth
“I can explain…” Dia closed her eyes briefly and followed with a sigh. “No need, this book is irrelevant to the dungeons… I’m just a little disappointed that you sneak inside my office just to take these books.” “What are those books? What is this game? Who exactly are the players?” “I already answer that question before… Players are individuals from another world. Universe separated from ours… They come here to play this game, a game where they must find a way to defeat the god, the witch of beginnings. A game as vast as the universe. Different worlds with each lore and more. The player's task is to defeat the god to clear the game.” Dia explained. Everything is just a game. Many people already lost their lives in this battle. To find out that it was just a game to the god. I can’t just believe it. Lowering my head down and my vision darkens with rage. “After clearing this game what will happen?” I asked. Dia was in brief pause hearing my serious tone. She gulps her saliva a
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 156: Conflicted hearts
The sky was still darkened half and the sun is still not emerging from its deep sleep. Cold wind blows from the east and flowers dance in its wake. I was sitting on the wooden fence waiting on the sunrise. Holding my sword and deep in thought. Glancing at my sword I look at my own reflection again. Seeing myself I could tell that I’ve changed. I didn’t know if it is for the better or worst. Those innocent eyes I have dreaming to become a hero were gone. Replaced by something unknown. Being a hero… This is a title I always wanted since I was a kid. Inspired by heroes' stories and later on, I find out they are called players. I always think they are cool and awesome. People fight for the sake of others. Don’t get me wrong, I do like fighting for others, especially for the people I care about. Dia, Falfa, my friends, and Eden city. Deep inside my chest. What is this feeling? This feeling of something is missing or taken away. “Glenn… If you were here I wonder what you would tell m

I tried looking in all streets of the city and still failed to find the where of Falfa. Where did that girl go anyway? Having trouble looking for her I find out that I’m lacking something from her. I didn’t know much about her at all. Knowing her would be a great help in searching.The clock is about to strike 2-chome.I decided to go straight to the town hall to attend the meeting. Opening the door of Dia’s office multiple people is already present. People like Velrum, Hikari, Roze, Ruti, and guess that I didn’t know.The guest wears all green clothing and pointy shoe. He has a very youthful face and a calm demeanor around him. He must be a chill guy.“She’s not here.”I said after I wheel my head around.“You’re already here, Retto. You look exhausted where did you go?”Asked Dia who walked toward me and offer some orange juice. I take the glass of juice and took a sip and answered.“I was looking for Falfa… I heard from Ivy that she suppose to be here with us in the meeting.”“She’

“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.

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

“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
