Her arm transformed into a blade-like form and her eyes glowed in red. There is only one meaning behind this. I don’t want to admit it, but seems like Chiwa had become--“Demon kind.”“You notice… I think that’s become obvious by now. I didn’t notice it since it was told to me. In this world power is everything. Gaining power is everything. With power, you can do almost everything. Becoming a demon kind is the best choice I’ve made… That way, I could roam outside without worrying about being hurt by demons. My world widens.”“You give up your humanity…”I argue.From the floor, I stood up. Immediately took off the protective suit throwing the gas mask away. Within the cleaning tool I brought, I pulled my sword. Gripping the handle tightly while my right palm bleeds blood.“You come here prepared… You truly are unlike other men.”“Ever since I come here, many unexpected events already happened. I can’t let my guard down.”“I know that my action was wrong… But looking from a wide persp
After Red lost consciousness in Kisara’s arms. Mr. Fluff arrived and took Red's body to the armored car’s back. Kisara turned her vision left and right. Seeing the ruining made by the demon kind. Lastly, up to the bright moon up in the night sky. The scene was rare. Normally inside the shelter, the night sky is never seen, because of the thick concrete ceiling protecting the shelter from the garbage falling down from the sky and Demon kinds roaming outside.Moonlight has more meaning for Kisara. A meaning very special only to her heart. She put her hand on her bosom and reminisce the happened in the past.Someone tap Kisara’s shoulder. The girl was her friend and company receptionist Touka.“No way to fix this… Area 14 shelter already fallen down.”“I hate this… Everything is about to change again.” Kisara said.“Change is part of our lives… All we can do is move forward and learn from it. Let's finish our final job as exterminators in this shelter.”Touka pulled her spear from her ba
“What kind of demon ability do you gain when you become a demon kind? Creation? Or something that could create an object… What is the limit of your ability? Is it unlimited? That’s very unlikely… There is no such thing as unlimited. There is always a limit to everything.”Charlotte said.“Why would I answer your question? It would be stupid if I did… Anyway, who are you exactly?”“Well… People call me the strongest or someone who has the potential to be the strongest. Because of this…”Charlotte pointed to her gleaming blue eyes.“... The eye of god… Humans blessed with this eye are blessed with infinite blessings. A blessing that could be anything.”Chiwa listened to Charlotte, but she had no idea what Charlotte was talking about. The eye of god and blessings. The words were new to Chiwa's ears. That was expected because Chiwa doesn’t have much interest in anything. That is until she found joy in inventing using scraps. Using the knowledge she got from her father and brother who were
Ray of sunbeam radiating through my vision and green leaves dancing together with the gentle gust of wind from the tree above. The first two things I noticed when I open my eyes. I tried covering the sunlight beaming down to my face with my palm. I realized that I was laying down on a lap. Under the big tree, I’m laying down with someone. I lift my head and greeted with a sweet smile. The smile is from my childhood friend and the girl I loved the most, Choco. She gently combs my hair with her finger. I never know that a simple gesture like this felt this good. Looking back, the last thing I remember was me battling Chiwa. My body is in complete pain and I was penetrated by Chiwa blade multiple times. Could it be? Am I dead? I turned my head a bit and look around me. The place is completely different from Earth land. A place filled with flowers and huge green trees The sky was clear and blue. Birds freely sing on the branches. I heard stories about the afterlife. When people d
The place I was dragged into was called Exterminator Headquarters. A place where exterminator company founders often gather to have an important meeting. All according to Princess.While my body was soaked with water. Charlotte put her hand on me and dyed my body in an instant.“We can’t let you go inside drenched.”“Whose fault was that? I shot back sarcastically and continued. “Why are we here anyway?”“It is my personal request… We have to report things happening in Area 14 shelter in HQ and I want people to escort me. Kisara and Charlotte happily took the request.”“It’s fine… We’re not friends for anything. Princess is our princess we can’t have you in trouble.”Kisara said.Charlotte, meanwhile, is being silent sipping her juice drink. It's probably one of those poisonous drinks she usually has. Having to think about it, I realize that it's quite some time already since I met Kisara and Charlotte.“This is the HQ, meaning Lars might be here,” I said.“No, he's still on a special
After meeting the high priestess and given the location of the divine gem. I’m excited to go out of the chapel. Looking forward to my next destination. “He sure has a big grin on his face.” “Yeah, it's kinda creepy.” Charlotte commented. “Why are you so excited about going to Lake Valor. Didn’t you hear high priestess? More than a hundred exterminators are sent in that place, but no one is coming back yet.” Princess continues to worry about my safety. “I know that it's going to be dangerous, but I have no choice. I have to collect all the divine gems because I made a promise.” “I don’t understand what you’re saying, but Seems like I don’t have any power to stop you.” Well, I can’t just say that I met Choco in my dream give me this mission. Normal people would think that my mission is very stupid because I got it from a dream. But, I believe in Choco. I put my hand on the dagger located on my waist. This dagger is proof that she believes in me. By collecting the seven divine
Lake Valor is one of the three largest lakes on the entire continent. One of the uncleared dungeons and one of the hardest to go into. The reason for that is the dungeon entrance is located underwater. Deep down the lake, a temple could be found. The first level of the dungeon is clear. It was said that there is airspace inside the temple. Breathing won’t be a problem. There is more inside the dungeon, like monsters, demons, traps, and more, which are the problem that we have to face. The dungeon is still uncleared. The map available only reaches the 3rd level down. No one knows how deep the temple was or where the divine gem was hidden. A theory like the divine gem magic is the reason why there is air inside the temple. Taking the gem might result in something unlikely. The sun wasn’t rising yet and we were all in the airship port. Kisara and Charlotte are very excited about our venture they didn’t sleep in the entire night. They are simply kids. In contrast to me, I made some rese
“What the heck was that?!” I shouted in horror. I put my hand on the girl resting behind my back tightly. My flight reaction was triggered making my running speed twice perhaps thrice than my usual running speed. That worm is an entirely different creature than the demon worm I usually roam outside. This worm is far larger and longer. “Can’t you do anything to burn that thing?” “I’m not running if that demon is weaker than myself… That creature was a sandworm. A creature that has a nearly indestructible body. The only way to kill it was to destroy the tiny heart hiding inside its huge body.” “Considering how big the worm was… That is almost impossible.” “That’s why I’m running. They only attack people that trespassed on their territory. Curse those knights for putting us here. I bet they done this intentionally.” Kisara got clenched her fist and gritted her teeth in anger. Does that mean those knights are one of our enemies? Kisara already mentioned that they attack Artemis man
