In a cave full of spider nests, Kieran and Mio took a rest. The outside cave was dark and cold. After going several hours from Ryx. Kieran and Mio had been deep inside the forest.Mio sat in the corner of the cave with her head sank on the buckling hands. After getting consciousness, Mio was blame herself for hurting Kieran. Though Kieran had told her that Kieran already forgave her, Mio wasn't heard Kieran and kept silent along the way.Kieran looked at Mio and said, "Come on, I told you that I’ve forgiven you, didn't I?""Leave me, I cannot control myself," Mio answered with a low and vibrant voice.Kieran stood and strolled toward Mio. He crouched. Then, he put his hand on Mio's face. He turned up Mio’s face which had been looking down. Slowly, Kieran could see Mio’s face. A damp eye with a drop of tear wetting the cheeks, messed bangs, and a depressed expression made Kieran feel sympathy.Kieran realized that Mio's sadness was not only about him but about her past and trauma. Mayb
"Ryx, are you ok?"Ryx opened his eyes slowly. He looked at the woman who spoke to him. He narrowed his eyes and gradually recognized her.A woman with glasses and a red hair ponytail. She wore a long white sleeve shirt that showed various emblems atop the pocket on her chest, and she also used gray long pants with a pair of black boots. What made her unique was a big book that she handled using her left hand."Is that you, Greysia? Ohh, Thank God! I think I'll trap here forever." Ryx showed gratitude. Then, he realized Zed was also here with Greysia."Had you caught that Kitsune?" Ryx asked.Zed crossed his arms over his chest. He wore a long red sleeve shirt with a black breastplate that had a dragon pattern on it. On his hands, he used a black gauntlet that had a blue pearl. At his bottom, he wore long black pants.Zed answered, "It is not efficient if we just chase them. Instead, we'll be waiting in front of their destination."Ryx’s forehead creased, he looked at Greysia and aske
Old Hansen, Kieran, and Mio booked two rooms at an inn in Jormund village. They got a break after dinner at the inn was over."Are you sick? I feel like you've been a little weird ever since you entered this village," Kieran said to Mio. The Kitsune wagged its tail slowly. She seemed a little quieter than usual.Mio replied quietly, "I just feel uncomfortable."Kieran turned his attention; he opened the bedroom window to breathe fresh air. For a moment, he saw the view of Jormund Village. After a while, he then closed and locked the window."Why would they create a village in a place like this? When it rains or a snowstorm occurred, they were practically cut off from other humans. Furthermore, the possibility of being attacked by beasts and monsters in this place was pretty high. This place was not the ideal place to make a settlement.""I don't know, I'm also curious. But I guess it's best not to think about it too much, tomorrow we will also leave this place," Mio replied to Kieran'
"That's not something you can handle." Kieran asked Old Hansen about the curse of Jormund Village. But Hansen just shook his head and told Kieran to pretend he didn't know about it. Kieran was aware that old Hansen knew he and Mio were Mages, but he might think the two of them were still too weak to interfere in Jormund’s village matters. Afternoon arrived, and finally, Old Hansen, Kieran, and Mio left Jormund village. This village still contained a deep mystery. Kieran felt uncomfortable leaving the village without trying to help them. But what could he do? He was too weak. This strengthened his determination to go to the City of Deborah. Kieran and Mio were in Jormund village for less than two days, but there were many things he found in this village. Old Hansen's horse carriage slowly walked over. Kieran looked back at the village of Jormund. "What exactly happened that made them suffer from the curse?" asked Mio. "At first, some hunters intended to hunt a wolf, but they manag
When the sun arose, Kieran, Mio and Old Hansen were going to The City of Freedom, Deborah City. Kieran relieved after knowing that his goal was getting closer. Previously, He scared Snakehead gang will after him, but It appears that they won't. Considering that they hadn't appeared yet.Unfortunately for Kieran, Snakehead gang just appeared right after Kieran thought they wouldn't. Kieran looked at the sky while he narrowed his eyes. He saw the Griffon was flying, approached them. Kieran also could see Ryx who was flying quickly toward them. Kieran jumped out of the Horse Carriage and create a long sword using his 2nd skill.Ryx pushed Kieran away from the Carriage, after that Ryx Immediately grabbed Mio and brought her to the Griffon where Zed and Greysia waiting him. Their action was so fast that made Kieran couldn't react."Mio!" Kieran screams loudly when he saw Ryx was kidnapping Mio. Kieran couldn't fly, the reason he could run away from Ryx was because the tree that makes Ryx h
Kieran heaved a relief sigh, after he saw Ryx and Greysia flee. The situation was really dangerous. If Old Hansen didn't help them, Kieran didn't know what would have happened to him. He was grateful the old man saved him, and Mio. In Kieran's thought, even though Hansen knew himself and Mio, but there was no reason for him to interfere within this matter. They had only known Hansen for a few days.Mio suddenly bowed to Old Hansen, “Thank you, this is the second time you saved us. Without your help, I will have taken away by those gangsters.” Mio sincerely thanked Hansen. What Hansen did indirectly saved Kieran's life and also prevented her from being taken away.“Ahaha, it's okay. I see that you two are good people, it would be a pity if something happened to you," Old Hansen casually replied.Kieran also expressed his gratitude towards Old Hansen. He admitted, “Thank you for saving us. We are truly indebted to you. Besides, may I ask why you allowed us to accompany you? After all, y
One important thing to do, as soon as Kieran arrived in Deborah City, was to gather information. After all, to continue living here, Kieran and Mio needed money. Over time, Hansen's money will run out, so they both had to find another source of income. Luckily, the city hall had all the general information about the city. It was making it easier for Kieran to know the place to get a job.Adventurer's guild. The so-called adventurer's guild was a place where special requests from various people in this city were collected. These people gave down payment to the guild, and told the detail about mission that must be completed. After the mission was completed, the mission sender will give full payment. The adventurer's guild will deduct about 5% of the total mission reward and then give the rest to the person who completed the mission.Unfortunately, night fell quickly, so Kieran had to find a hotel to sleep in. To save money, Kieran only booked one room. Mio, who was used to sleeping with
District A7, Deborah City. As soon as Kieran arrived in this district, he felt the atmosphere of the city change drastically. Deborah City that was crowd, cleanliness and discipline, did not match with this district. There were various shabby houses. On the surroundings, many people with torn clothes and unkempt bodies were walking on the sidewalk. Although not as bad as the environmental conditions where he lived in Amantha, the atmosphere in this district was not harmonizing with the image of Deborah City."It seems that what Hansen said is true, this place is not as perfect as it looks." Kieran muttered.Kieran and Mio who had gotten off the Taxi, then walked towards the address of the mission sender. He was a bit confused while looking for it, so he decided to ask for help from a boy that he met.“Hey boy, do you know where Silvana Demethor's house is?” asked Kieran.The boy received money that worth of 5 DBR. Subsequently, he nodded towards Kieran and said in a low voice, “Please
