In desperation, Jiro jumped in.
His heartbeat was literally screaming out in fear at the moment, he dared not to see any death just after coming into his world, if that is to happen, it would be cruel...very cruel.Just as he was about to jump inside the fight, he froze on the spot.Fortunately, that wasn't his blood.Jiro was nearly shocked to death when he felt his soul flying right away from his body.The blood wasn't Piano's, it was actually from those wolves.When those wolves targeted him and attacked him, they nearly surrounded him leaving him no space to move or save his own life.However, Piano had experienced such situations in his life before. So such a small matter was nothing to him. Just when those wolves attacked him, he raised his sword and sliced their heads off from their body.No animal got away from him. He slashed their heads off like a predator who was mainly here to take their lives and heads especially. He ruthlessly exploited all of the wolves and took their lives.After seeing that scene happening right before his eyes, Jiro slumped down on the ground, his eyes grew large like balls and shock could be seen all over his face, his body was shaking already...he felt sick seeing so much blood around him.The ground was painted with a red color which stunk salty and nasty at the same time, Jiro covered his nose.[You are seriously a noob. This much blood is nothing]The system laughed out loud at Jiro for being so pathetic and scars of such a silky scene.But only Jiro knew what he was feeling right now. His heart and mind...nothing was in his control.Piano took a long breath as he saw everyone dead before him, he killed everyone...his face was covered in blood, and he looked like a crazy beast right now who has no heart, to begin with, he looked crazy and extremely dangerous.He finally got to relax. But when his body turned around towards the direction where he told Jiro to hide, the sword fell from his hand.That small monster child, looked scared of Piano at this moment.The way Jiro was looking at him, it felt like he was looking through Piano's soul. He looked extremely frightened.After Piano's sword fell to the ground, he rushed toward Jiro and hugged him tightly. To him, nothing was more important than consoling that child who was going through a trauma right now."I am sorry! I am sorry! I shouldn't have killed them in front of you...", Piano was apologizing again and again after feeling that shivering body of that child.Jiro buried his head into that warm embrace, the tears started falling down his small dried eyes.All the emotions that were reeled up in his heart started gushing out through the wet and water tears.Yes! He was extremely scared at the moment. And was also scared of Piano but that was just for a moment until he realized that he was no more in his world, he was teleported to this strange world, he was dead in his original world...or maybe.His tiny hands tried wrapping around Piano's back, but he was too small that his hand could only be reached halfway..."Are you scared? Forgive this big brother for scaring you", Said Piano while patting his back gently and slowly and trying to comfort him.But the years were just not stopping reeling out from Jiro's voice. There were so many emotions piled up in his heart for a long time now, how can a moment of hug relieve him?Jiro didn't speak anything and kept crying like a little kid, Piano on the other side kept comforting him through his actions and not with his words.The blood was still visible on the ground, and the bodies were scary to look at, no matter how many times Jiro was opening his eyes and closed them, trying to find them as a dream, it was scattering every time he was finding the dead bodies of the wolves.Jiro might have lived a life before and he lives it for like twenty-seven years. Due to his body condition and the illness he was carrying, he never had a smooth selling life. Life was never easy for him, it was always difficult and unfair.In that life of twenty-seven, he never felt like God was on his side. Even now...the heavenly God was messing up with him.What's the meaning behind putting him into a strange world when he doesn't even belong here?Reborn, reincarnation, Isekai'd, or anything...whatever you call it, it only looks good in stories and novels.Cause when it happens in real life, you are neither for that world nor do you belong in that body.You are just a soul which happened to find an empty body whose soul just shattered.Jiro had not accepted this world, and neither he can in the coming future. He doesn't belong here, nor does this body belong to him.But right now, he can't reveal this to anyone. Or else people might think he is a psycho and would practice on him.After half an hour.Jiro finally stopped crying. He was feeling better now that some of his heavy feelings and emotions have flowed out. He finally released himself from that warm hug and looked him eye to eye..."Are you feeling better now?", Piano asked wiping those nonexistent tears from the corner of Jiro's eyes."I am okay! Thank you for lending me your body...I am feeling much better now".This time when Jiro looked at the dead bodies, he wasn't scared. Rather, he was relieved and glad that Piano blocked those animals and saved him.He played those survival-type games many times before he died. And he never took that situation seriously. He always played to keep himself alive and busy from the rest of the world.But the situation at the hand earlier was very different from what he had seen in the movies and read in the novels before. Even the games he played before were never this stimulating.So it was a life-death situation for him.So he was grateful to Piano to save his life even when not knowing who he was and how had lived until now.After sorting out his emotion, he looked at him, he was now ready to move.He got up and stood on his two small feet, his legs were wounded all over as if he was bullied many times before and had lost the strength to walk.When Jiro got up and looked at Piano, he realized something.Piano's face...it was stained with blood. This blood was sprung on his face when he slayed those wolves earlier.He raised his hands in the air and extended them toward Piano's face. Piano froze for a moment as he failed to understand what Jiro was doing putting his hand on his face.Jiro started moving his hand on his face messily, he was trying to get rid of those blood stains on his face."There's so much blood on your face", His voice came out in a meek and sweet tone."Oh! Let me...", Piano started rubbing his face with his hands to get rid of the stains. This was a different matter in that he could see nothing.Jiro sighed heavily as he looked at his face and turned his head away. Probably because he did not care about how much blood he had on his face...The both of them once again started walking in a certain direction as they had no idea where to go and where the exit was.But one thing was clear to them, the illusionary dungeon was crumbling, or maybe it was their imagination.But if they don't find the exit soon, no one knows for how long they will survive in this bloody hell."Jiro! Do you have anything in mind? Like....can you think of anything that might help us escape this place?", Piano asked as he was useless in this area.To be honest, he was not a smart kid. So it was hard for him to excel in other areas other than swordsmanship."Big Brother, you know a lot about kids. And how to handle and care for them. How many kids do you have?", Jiro ended up asking that question which was on his mind for some time now.The piano looked at him quite strangely. Because this was the first time someone had asked him about how many kids he has.Because in reality, Piano has no kids.Sometime later after Jiro asked that question, Piano started laughing out loud.Jiro was dumbfounded as to why he was laughing at him. "Did I make a joke?", He asked."No! You did not... it's just that, it's strange"."Strange? What is it?".The laughter escaped Piano's mouth as if Jiro made a joke. "Why are you laughing?", Jiro asked.And right now, Jiro was confused. Because the affection bar has reached the bar of 75 percent. It was a scary thing to Jiro to see that affection bar rising so suddenly."Did I joke about something?", He asked in confusion as Piano couldn't stop laughing."No! You did not. I am just surprised. It's the first time a kid isn't scared of me and is asking me if I have kids of my own", Piano was feeling lighthearted now.It was the first time someone had felt that he can have kids around him like a normal person.Kids get easily scared of him since he is someone who wields swords and kills others. So when that scary side of him shows up to them, they can't help but maintain a safe distance from him. Right now he was glad that a kid was acting normal around him and not scared of him at all, it was a good experience for him.Jiro tilted his head in confusion as he even tried to rack his brain to
Is it said that this place was the hotspot of demons who were doing evil in the world, they are caged here by that Mage thousand years ago.After he caged those demons, he sealed this place with highly proficient magic, it was...Illusion.From the outside, this place was nothing like a dungeon, with no darkness, no caves, no holes, and no monsters. But this place on its own was more dangerous than anything that was mentioned above.A place that looked no more than any normal forest from the outside, like a perfect place or a shelter for animals. But once you enter inside, you will see the illusion. As Piano was telling him about this place, Jiro was getting chills. His body was reacting to something strange, the hairs on his body were standing as if a ghost was watching him from around somewhere. "My dear! You look appetizing, I wanna have a taste of you", Something whispered.Jiro's ears stood straight in warning, he looked around like a scaredy cat. "What was that noise? Who spok
Piano extended his hand in front of him, expecting Jiro to hold his hand and say yes to him. Even though Jiro had a sweet smile on his face, for some reason Piano could see that he was not smiling because he was willing to, more like he was forced to.Just as he expected, Jiro pulled out his hand and placed it amongst the large palm of Piano which was standing out the most and the only one right now.He didn't hesitate, his agreement was enough for Piano. And the next moment, Piano lifted him in the air and then placed him gently on his shoulders. Right now, Jiro was viewing the higher view from that height while sitting on his shoulder. This sure was enough to make him recall those heartwarming moments during his childhood.His dad used to play with him in the evening and then on the way back he used to put Roug on his shoulder and carry him home like that.As much as it was heartwarming and made him recall all those old forgotten memories. He sure was disturbed by something else.T
She couldn't believe this little monster kid had a way to set themselves free from this illusionary dungeon. "Impossible! Monster Kiddo! Don't get ahead of yourself just because you have a brain installed in your head".She was pissed at him for the thought of even thinking about leaving this place when she was all tied up there. It was unfair.Of course, Jiro could hear all the anger and frustration in her voice. She was extremely curious yet furious at Jiro for saying he has a way out.Jiro took one pair of earbuds from Piano. "Big brother! Since this is illusionary Dungeons, it means everything here counts as a mirage or our imagination which is hidden in our subconscious mind", He said as he started putting earbuds in his ears.He gently put one after another in both ears with great care. And then covered his ears with another pair of earbuds too.As they both covered their ears, the extra sound and noises in the background became non-existent to them.Piano still didn't was conf
Looks like he had no other choice other than this. To become stronger, he needs to accept the mission and grow his power. [Accept...Reject]Jiro closed his eyes and pressed the Accept button. His fingers were shaking when he touched the option as if he was dealing with the matter of his life then and there.Of course, he was afraid of being fried or charcoal by the thunderbolt, but that was if he failed to complete the mission. He has two hours in his hand. Since the Illusionary Spell was cracked, the exit was soon to be found.He believed he can find the entrance. [Congratulations on accepting the mission. The countdown starts...you have 1 hour 59 minutes left until the time ends, Good luck on your second mission. This system believes you can pass the mission successfully, fighting]Even though his system was giving him positive energy, it was making him deteriorate, as if it was mocking him for all his failures."Dear God! For the first time in fifteen years I am trusting you once
Piano stopped amidst everything, he couldn't believe what he was seeing right now."Why did you stop?", Jiro asked as he suddenly pulled his head down and looked at Piano."Do you remember I told you I was chasing after a secret messenger", Piano said in a calm tone, such a situation was in front of him, yet he did not panic or feel any sympathy towards that person.Jiro nodded his head. "What about that?"."I didn't expect it but he is dead. He fell into the illusion and apparently took his own life in that illusion. Look..."He raised his hands and pointed out towards a tree that was twenty steps away from them.Jiro's eyes followed the instructions and stopped at a certain sight. There was a human figure under the tree, wearing black clothes which had everything hidden under it, only his face was viable. The body had started cremation. Even though they were twenty steps away, the flesh rotting smell could be sensed. The rotting smell had spread in the air and was timeline into the
Just one step ahead and she will be free from this hell forever.Her mind and heart were clashing with each other and had different thoughts. Her body was shaking and sending chills all over her body. Her eyes were tightly shut at the moment, she totally controlled her body movement but her body was not listening to her.She wanted to take a step forward but was highly scared of failing. What if her body completely freezes and her soul shatters as she takes a step forward? The soul was already manipulated by the mage and unable to reincarnate. She only has this little life left.What will she do if this try fails like all the tries till now?Jiro was seeing everything from the side. The fact that she was not an angel was still piercing his heart, he never thought that a demon can have a good heart too.Seeing her all helpless and thinking so much over a small step made him think how precious life can be to someone."Hey! We just have to take a step forward and we are out, why are you
The first person he met after coming to this world, was now leaving...But he was reluctant to leave Jiro alone in such a place. " Do you know where your village is? ", Piano asked as he broke the hug and placed Jiro before his eyes, his hands still holding him tightly." I...I know, I will find my way ", Jiro said uncertainly.It is no wonder he knows where he wants to go, but it might take a lot of time since he is new here. And he was even thinking of staying somewhere and trying to know this place better." How about I stay with you until you don't find your house? I can accompany and after I see you with your family, I will return ", Piano was reluctant to let go of him.The time they spent together was very short, but he had come to realize one thing, he was extremely attached to this kid. Even thinking of leaving him alone was a pain for him that he was feeling right. He won't know what to call it, but a special bond has formed between them.The suggestion he gave was pretty
