"What are we going to do with this old lady? Shall we just throw her away?"Viviz kicked Madam Larry's leg. She was awake and scared. Viviz, who was previously her mainstay, was serving the new master. Moreover, she had never seen Viviz's true form. She didn't even know the axe could change shape."Eeennnggg... Let me go!" Madam Larry groaned as she moved her body to and fro, rolling like a grain sack."We can't throw her away, she can't get out of this city." Gin drank the warm water that Ellya made for him while observing the dam.They were still at the dam area, too late to return to the hut. They gathered around the warm fireplace. Gin was thinking about something that involved his next step. And it depended on the man he was been waiting for."Viviz, didn't you see Amenus' memory? Did you also take an oath to keep his secret?""I have never made such an oath, Master.""Aren't you going to keep my secret too?""With whom shall I tell your secret, Master? Once you are done destroyi
The sunlight came with screams. The sun shone very brightly, taunting the dying citizens.Everyone ran in panic as an enormous wave of water chased after them. The water came from a collapsed dam. The water destroyed all the houses, destroyed the castle walls until they finally collapsed completely. The statue of Amenus, which stood proudly, was crushed by the water.People screamed, fleeing in terror only to be swept away by the water. Gin walked on the streets of a chaotic city, stepping quietly as the waves of water moved behind him as if it was following him. Wherever he walked, the water destroyed everything behind him.Gin kept the farm animals alive. Put them in an air bubble that other humans couldn't penetrate.“Please, help me!”The curses he received turned into pleas for help. A mother held her six years old son, begging Gin to save her son."Please, at least let my son live!" She ran after Gin with her son.Gin turned around briefly. That mother might be a follower of Ame
Gin continued his journey into the forest. The weather that day was very sunny and warm. Singing birds accompanied his steps.Gin was stopped by a huge dead wolf, bigger than him. There were many incisions around its body. Its fangs were very long and sharp, much like the ancient tigers from Earth."Who killed this wolf? Is it our enemy?" Gargan watched her surrounding carefully.Gin shook his head calmly. "No. It must be Zack. He walked ahead of us."Gin observed the trees around him. Zack and Ellya were nowhere to be seen, but they were all around them. The two siblings reminded Gin to ninjas, they move silently and unseen. They were also very fast and good with knives. Their skills would be wasted in the city. Gin was glad they could go out with him and maximize their abilities."We rest here."Gin put his bag under a tree. There was a river with a calm flow beside them. There were also many fruit trees around there. This place was perfect for rest."I'll catch some fish for you, M
There was an awkward silence afterward. Gin thought he was asking something too private. But if he looked closely at this ogre, there was no sign of a killer.She was even frightened when she saw Gin. An assassin would attack Gin without screaming hysterically."You don't look like a killer."She shook her head. “I'm a killer. I killed almost all of my villagers.”She looked down and fiddled with her fingers. Gin felt guilty for asking this. They still barely know each other to hear about her private story.Actually, she was amazed by how polite Gin was, even though her heart still had worries."What's your name? Are you human?""I'm Gin. I'm... not really human.""I see." She looked Gin up and down. His red eyes were the difference between him and ordinary humans. But his other physically looked like a human in general."My name is Sheba. Sorry, I thought you were human."Gin wasn't sure if that was a good thing. If he told her who he was, she would freak out.Sheba laughed but her e
Sheba stood in shock. She nudged the bowl of soup they had eaten earlier until the bowl fell and broke."Should I finish them off? I'm sure I can beat the ogres, Master." Zack looked very confident and ready to fight. In just a few days, he became more confident with his strength."No. We don't need a fuss."After being rejected, Zack returned to the hideout. He stalked and guarded if Gin called him.Sheba started to panic. She kicked the broken earthenware bowl under the table."You have to hide. They don't like humans," she said. With trembling hands, she cleaned up the leftover soup on the floor.Gin had no intention of hiding. However, he didn't want to cause trouble for Sheba. She had helped her a lot to take shelter here.Gin hid behind the wooden wall of the hut. His big body was hard to hide behind a table or chair, so that was the only thing he could do. Initially, he wanted to put Gargan and Viviz into storage but they refused. They hid behind a wall with him and promised no
The ogres screamed while the wolves howled. Each of their howls summoned another pack of wolves to come over. In an instant, the village became a banquet for the giant wolves.Those who wanted to drive away the wolves with fire ended up burning their own homes by mistake. The ogres ran for their lives. No matter how long their legs were, the wolf's legs moved even faster.Their heads were bitten off and their bodies became a bone of contention for the other wolves. Those who survived hid behind the ruins of the house, only to be burned alive.More little ogres survived because the wolves chose the adult ogres first. They wandered around the chaos, crying over their mother's body, which was only a few pieces left.They screamed in pain, calling for help to anyone who could hear their cries. But who would help them in the middle of the forest like this? They always expel anyone who approaches their village.Gin watched behind the bushes. Some ogres who chased him out earlier were dead,
It had not been twenty-four hours since Gin saved them and they were already planning to kill him."Loyalty, they said."Gin didn't want to care too much about that. If they want to kill him, let them come alone and challenge him. He stood up, came out of the hut, and looked at the sky which was shining very blue. Today's weather was very bright, a good day to kill a village.Gin took the water in the river to wash his face. Gargan, Viviz, and even Ellya stood on the edge with a big smile, waiting for Gin's fresh and wet face. Gin getting used to their strange habits, so he didn't mind.Gin squatted by the river which had a calm flow. He saw his reflection in the water. This body was too handsome even when he woke up. His old body couldn't relate.“But, Master! They also plan to kill Sheba!”Zack's words made Gin stop washing his face. He sighed, feeling both tired and disgusted with the ogres. He had heard legends about ogres having no brains. Their intelligence was far below humans.
“My tea is too cold. I need a new one.”A woman took a cup of tea on the table. Even though the tea was too cold, she still blew it as if it were hot tea. Her lips sipped the tea slowly, eyes focused on the waterfall in front of her.She sat on the balcony of a castle on a cliff. A gigantic waterfall was in front of her, standing proud like a knight. The waterfall was her only friend. They spent decades together.She danced along with the rushing waterfall. The sound of the water became the music that flew through her moves. Her golden hair shone under the sunlight, followed her move here and there.She would tell everything that she experienced to the waterfall. About how she was born into the world until the day she lost everything. No one could count how many times she was told that same story, maybe hundreds, maybe thousands. Even the waterfall didn't count it.She smiled calmly after finishing her tea. No maids came to give her new tea or to add the cake which was almost gone.He
