Her ears started switching again, it was an alert signal. " Hey! Are you done? Hurry up. I am sensing a danger ", Ines said.Jiro didn't look at her and kept trying his hands on the mangoes he was trying to get. He was jumping and hitting the branch so that the mangoes won't be damaged. He was trying his best, it was just that his height was not enough to reach that level even with that long stick in his hands." Just a moment please, I am almost done ", Jiro begged for a little more time and kept doing his task.And suddenly a loud stepping noise surrounded her ears as if something was running in their direction.Ines started getting anxious and nervous with every passing second and she continued to urge Jiro to hurry up." We don't have much time left, little kiddo. Something is running in our direction, just hurry up already ", Said Ines, she was jumping from anxiety.Jiro could feel how tense she was based on her high pitch tone full of anxiety and whatnot.This time around when
Jiro was having a deep suspicion about this fellow having to be the guardian of that mango tree, must be trying to protect every kin of that tree. But Jiro had no time to think about anything about that tree or this beast, all he had to do or think about was how to get rid of it. Because it looked like a hungry wolf was running after an innocent rabbit." ROAR...".It was angry, too angry that it can even shred him into small fine pieces if Jiro was to get into his hands, its running figure alone was enough to make him shake in fear." If he is the guardian of the tree, why is he still running after me? I already plucked out the mango, it already detached...so why? ", Jiro was desperate to know since his breath was running out and his body was getting tired fastly.Earlier when he completes the first stage of the task, the bees no longer chase after him. Second, the third and fourth stages had no obstacles. But the fifth stage...well, it's clear now why this area was lush with greene
His body gave up on him before he could even enter the cave. His energy bar hit zero and he fell, completely helpless and freezing. No matter how much he try to move his body, he couldn't. [Warning: Your energy bar has hit the bottom. It will be replenished after an hour ]The notification showed up before him but there was no use now. The beast bear was roaring as he stopped and then continue to approach him slowly, it was trying to enjoy the moment to kill the person who tried to rob off his property.It clashed with how claws, displaying them in front of Jiro and making him fear his existence, it was pretty cruel...Jiro tried using his hands and feet, only to know that he had turned into a delicate patient who can only see and think rather than do any activity with his body.He felt helpless, even when he died at last time he didn't like this. This one situation was different. All the best memories he had lived until now, started to surf around his eyes the mind. This time it f
Jiro was returning home after many days, he was supposedly sacrificed and never returned. But here he was, standing on his legs with no injuries on his body.Now that he has already landed in his hometown, the villagers will start to question him. They will be suspicious about his return, and many questions and doubts will arise in everyone's mind. This matter might look simple and easy but is very complicated. Since he was sent away and thrown into the forest as a sacrifice to save the village, if he is to appear before them, they will question and will try to hurt him.Ines was worried about this. Jiro on the other hand is not capable of protecting himself from the villagers if they think of hurting him or killing him. From What Jiro has talked about the villagers, it's clear that he was never secure and safe here, and was an eyesore to everyone. No one wanted him." You are a sacrifice that was supposed to die in the Illusionary forest. Seeing you alive and returning there, they m
Even though everything seemed peaceful, there was chaos in his heart going on right now. It felt like something was very wrong somewhere.The closer they were getting to the village, the more his suspicions were getting stronger and growing." Ines! I have a terrible feeling right now. Why do I feel like we are entering Lion's den ", He said.His shoulder shuttered at the thought of getting into any kind of trouble. They have gotten into enough trouble today, they don't have the energy to fall into another one.He thought he was the only one who was feeling something was amiss. But no...Ines was feeling the same. As they were growing close to the village, their feelings were getting strong that something was wrong. " It was getting hotter ", Ines made a point.Even though it was a cold rainy season. The weather was getting hot. Not like the hot weather one feels when it's about to rain, but this hotness was more like when one starts a fire. Anyway, it was hard to explain, it was ju
" We can't go down, do you understand? "." You haven't seen them die, so how can you be so sure they are no more now? I won't listen to you, take me down ".Jiro refused to listen to her. Sure...there was fire everywhere, the whole village was inside the red flames now. But how can one be so sure that just because the village was on fire the villagers will also be on fire? Maybe...knowing that their village was caught on fire, they all left. They have gone somewhere safe and the thing which is burning right now is just an empty shell.He refused to believe that the villagers had died in the fire. She pulled him even close in her embrace and grabbed his face, turning his face towards his, she made him look at her." Can you see how strong the fire flames are? The village is surrounded by flames from all sides, it's unlikely they have escaped, they can't ", She wanted him to believe that no one was alive now.Jiro didn't look away from her eyes, tears still flowing down, he refused t
Some people were talking about something strange, something that a normal person may not be able to understand even if they try very hard. Just as they both were in between the conversation, a person jumped from the tree onto the balcony, in front of those two people.And immediately kneel before the man in his fifties." Your Highness! The search this time around went wrong again. Our speculation was wrong this time around too ", Said the man in black cheap rob.Hearing that, the man in his fifties clenched his fist and threw his fist on the neared table around him. He was of course angry." However, our men set that place on fire, because they believe that if the child is there, he will die with everyone ", Said the man while still kneeling on the hard ground made of expensive marble.Hearing that, the prince looked at him fiercely, he grabbed the vase from the side and threw it towards him, but didn't aim at the man, he only wanted to threaten him and show his power." Idiot ", He
No matter how much he tried to provoke her, she was as calm as water. But in fact, his words were not enough to be called he was provoking her.He couldn't stand her anymore." Just speak already. If you tell me now where you hid that child, I might spare you. But if I found him by myself, I would give the most horrible death ".Prince August said in a serious tone, he was already cracking up, wanting to kill this bitch but couldn't because of some reason.She finally looked at him. But the first thing she did upon lifting her head towards him was to spit. She spat on the ground while giving him a dirty look." Bah! Do you think I'm scared of you? In your dreams ", She said while laughing sinisterly.She was the most courageous woman Prince August had met in his whole lifetime. But she was stupid at the same time, she did not know how to mobilize someone and how to take advantage of them for her good. All she knew was how to protect others even at the cost of her own life.And if it w
It has been more than two hours since Petal installed the EXP system Inside. Each step consists of ten steps. The more he walks, the more it will turn into energy and store it in him. But just like the Energy bar, it also has some limitations that might become disadvantages shortly. But for now, he was all settled.As they were walking futures and further, Jiro was feeling an immense kind of energy in his body, he was feeling light and more than sober. Every step he takes makes it more fun for him as if his body was set on cloud or his body was clout itself, he never felt so relaxed and comfortable before as he is feeling right now.Jiro didn't ask any questions to Petal, because he was already aware of the fact that all these changes may be because he was now using a different energy source, but who knows how long it will last? Maybe he was getting this refreshing feeling because he was aware of what he did to himself and was trying to feel it out."Congratulations, you have gained
It was clear that Ines was walking in the wrong direction, but she was in deep thought, still thinking about something that was not needed right now.And the direction they were going towards had a cliff, a slight fall, and one would go to heaven. Petal even warned him to take a turn but that did not happen, Jiro had to remind her to turn back and take that route from behind.Seeing that Ines was not reacting, Jiro tried asking. " Ines! Don't we have to take a turn from behind? We missed the chance ", Only by then did Ines come to reality and look behind."You are right. Let's go..."She walked back and then right from there. From here on, they have officially entered the forest area. Since the place, she is talking about is secluded and on the mountain guarded by wild animals and forest, it was now officially the start of the journey."What were you thinking?" Jiro asked."Just thinking about the future. As you know... it's been thousands of years since the last time I visited the pl
" I was afraid that any predator might eat it, so I took it with me. I hope you won't mind ", Said Jiro in a soft tone.Ines glanced at the unique egg in his hand, she thought for a moment and was still thinking about why this egg can make noises, but she had no answers for it." We can keep it. Back in my era, we had many powerful beasts which were priceless and had so many advantages to be taken. Even though I don't know how much the world has changed, we can keep it as a hope to get something out of it ".Ines was not against it, she even supports him if he wants to do or learn something, and she will help him with that.The world they are in right now, it's a fantasy world. A Universe filled with unknown and amazing things and creatures, the things which you cannot ever imagine can be possible when it comes to this world.People get Isekai'd and can achieve any feat if they are capable. So Jiro was full of expectation that this egg belongs to some unique creature he was unknown o
As they were returning to the living stay, Jiro asked about his energy bar which can only withstand some moves and slides. This morning, he was only able to run for two hours only, and then his body completely gave up on him the moment the energy bar hit the zero mark." Having an energy bar is quite risky, I can't even ensure how long I will be able to last long. It's as if...there's a sword hanging around my neck, one wrong move and I will die ", Jiro was concerned about this issue.With this ability, he was no more than a robot or maybe a key toy that only works when something spins the key in the main hole.[Umm! You are quite right. Having energy space is a little risky for you. You can indeed recover from the energy loss in an hour or so...but it's limiting your capabilities. Maybe...we should start the EXP system and remove the energy bar ]EXP was another option for a gamer to keep on going and this one was less risky than the energy system. Maybe this was fitter for Jiro comp
" I don't know how to coax someone. I might even end up making them more miserable and sad ", Said Jiro while looking at the neon light blue color shining egg. The egg was really interesting but the way it was making noise was quite unpredictable." But it's really weird. Why is it crying? It's crying...does it mean that there's life inside it? ".[ I think life has been formed inside the egg. And...Have you ever held a child in your arm? If you have, then you know how to talk to it...just use that method]Thinking back...the life inside the egg and a child both have no difference, both are little kids who don't know how to express their feelings other than crying and attracting attention.So the only way to stop it from crying was to talk to it in a soft tone and try to coax it, maybe a gentle touch will be sufficient to stop its sobbing.Jiro blinked several times, after hearing Petal now he was thinking about how to coax a child or how ones say good things in front of the kid. How
There was nothing particularly special in sight, except....that nest on the side. Nothing caught his eyes but the nest did." Petal! What's that? A bird nest? ", Jiro started growing close to the nest which was on the corner.The cave was all bright and had reached a dead end, yet there was a bird's nest on the side. Jiro did not think of anything and approached the nest at a slow pace.As he grew close to the nest, the weeping and crying became clear, as if it was coming from that spot.The nest was pretty small, just a little bigger than the average, with an Egg inside it. The nest was wielded perfectly around the edge so that the egg wouldn't roll out in any kind of situation.It was just the only thing in the cave which was enough to attract anyone's attention.Jiro stopped in front of the nest and looked at the egg in it, he tapped the edge of his chin while tilting his head from left to right in slow motion. In a situation like this, he doesn't know what to do." Petal! Believe
It was really strange that there was no life force inside yet Jiro was receiving signals from there. Like...isn't the crying sound enough to let you know there is someone inside? " So you are saying that there's no life force here...hmm! But then again, what are these noises that I am hearing right now? I mean...explain to me ", At this Jiro knows nothing.He just wants to know what he was hearing right now if there's nothing here. It's a baby's voice and it's crying very loudly, his eardrums have gone deaf from all the crying sounds, and the system is saying there's no one. That's crazy.[ I hear nothing ]" Huh? Do you hear nothing? For real...Just get inside my mind and you will understand what I am talking about. There's a baby somewhere around here. I am telling you, I am not lying ", Said Jiro while trying to convince him that he is not lying...not even a little bit.[Well! I won't go to such lengths. Since you are saying you are hearing strange sounds, let's go check it out. I
He was sleeping soundly until a sound reached his ears. He was awake by the sudden weeping sound. He slowly opened his eyes, it was dark in the surrounding without any light or hope. " Wah...wah..."Someone was crying, he could hear the crying noise, but who?He was still half asleep and once again looked at the surrounding, but he could see nothing other than darkness. At this point, he deemed it as his imagination and once again went to sleep.But just when he closed his eyes, the noise started ringing in his ears once again." Wah...".This time the noise was too loud that he could not hear anything else other than the weeping sound. He placed his both hands around his ears and covered them, he was sleepy, and do not want to hear anything or see anything, just want to have a proper rest.The noise disappeared. Just when he thought he had peace and closed his eyes...the weeping sounds started ringing in his head, and thus time was in continuous mode.Jiro got up and sat straight a
They both messed up the balance and fell on each other.Jiro was very light, yet she was complaining that he was heavy. " Little Boy! Can you get up? You are too heavy for me ", She was not serious, just joking with him.He hmph a little and then slid off of her body and sat down by the side. He was not looking at her, but rather staring at the sky. Ines saw his little pouty lips, what to do with this guy when he was being this cute? She just extended her hand towards his face and started squeezing his bony cheeks. " Alright boy, stop making that deadly expression. I know I was a little exaggerating but I was just teasing you, how can you not tell when facing your little body which has no flesh? Please don't be mad at me ", She said in a coaxing tone. He held her hand and slid them off of his face. " I am not mad, I just wanted to make you apologize and I succeeded in that. Let's gather some fuel for the fire ", He started laughing suddenly after hearing her apology.Ines chuckled
