Dying

I was still trying to understand what was going on. If this was a dream, I wanted to wake up right away. My family lay in front of me, not moving at all with their pale bodies. Blood stained their clothes. Their eyes opened, showing the last horror they saw before they gone.

Two men lifted their bodies and threw them into the fire.

"No!" I screamed as loud as I could but they didn't stop.

I thought it was a dream. There was no way they would suddenly die in front of me. That couldn't be real.

Someone suddenly tugged at my hair, making me turn my head painfully. That man, the scary man with a scar on his face stood before me.

"You think you can run from me?"

"Why are you doing this to me?" I couldn't hold back my tears.

"You have seen what you should not have seen."

That was not fair. He killed all my family just because I witnessed a murder. I did nothing wrong. I never asked to see that. My family shouldn't take the blame.

He just grabbed my hair and I couldn't move anymore. I felt so weak and useless. Why was I that weak? I tried to let go of his hand, but my strength was not commensurate with his hand.

If only I was stronger, I might be able to protect my family.

"Let me go! Let me go!"

"Killing orphans is not a problem for me." He burst out laughing.

"Gerald!"

I froze when I heard that sound. Gray was still there, he was the only one left alive. A slight sense of relief crept into my heart. I still had Gray. He must be safe.

The scary man let me go. He headed towards Gray, picked him up, and threw him to the ground.

"Stop it! Don't hurt him!"

He lifted Gray once again and slammed him down. He took out his gun.

"No! You want to kill me, right? Just kill me! Kill me!"

Why did he have to kill my family? Why did he have to kill Gray? I was the one who should be dead.

"Please, let him go!" I cried, begged, and prostrated myself until my face was full of dirt.

"He did nothing. Please don't kill him!"

The scary man looked really happy to see me desperate. He laughed very loud.

"Look at them! They all die. What's the use of you leaving one child? Let them all die!"

He pointed at Rose's body which was being thrown into the fire. I clenched my fists, squeezing the ground together with my tears. Rose died and was burned. It still felt unreal. Rose shouldn't have died that easily. She was a fighter.

"Don't worry. I will make sure you die after I kill this kid."

He directed his gun to Gray again. I didn't have time to think. My body moved spontaneously. I ran to Gray as fast as I could and hugged him.

Bang!

The gunshot deafened my ears. I felt something hot cut my back.

"Gerald," Gray called me softly.

"You want to die?"

The scary man screamed. I didn't have much time. I picked up Gray and ran away.

Bang!

Bang!

He shot at me several times and the bullets hit my hand, my leg, and my back. I kept running. I was numb. My desire to save Gray was far greater than the pain.

I ran into town. It was still crowded at midnight and people looked at me in surprise. I ran towards the police car parked on the side of the road. I looked back and the people who chasing me stopped, even they were still watching me from a distance.

"Please help me. They want to kill me!"

Those police officers were confused to see me covered in blood. Gray still crying with a trembling body.

"Relax. We'll take you to the hospital first."

One of the officers took Gray from my arms, and at that moment my body lost all strength. I sat helplessly on street while the officers called for an ambulance.

At least Gray survived. I didn't know how long I could last with this wound. I shouldn't have died, I had to make sure Gray was completely safe.

The roar took me back to my senses. The ground suddenly shook and a light appeared before us. People were confused. The ball of light enlarged, getting bigger and bigger becoming a big flat light ball surrounded by electricity.

Even on the verge of death, I could still remember when I saw that kind of light in a sci-fi movie. Usually, it would be a portal in a time machine. But looking directly in front of my eyes, it felt unreal.

"What is that?" I heard one of the officers mutter.

People began to came closer while taking out their phones. They took photos and didn't care about me lying in front of the portal. If the portal explodes, of course, I would be the first to die.

The portal shook like something was cracking on that.

"Run!"

The people suddenly shouted.

They ran away, leaving me helpless on the road.

From the portal emerged green hands, then the feet and head of a horned creature. It looked like a monster.

I got my instinct to run but I couldn't do that. My body was too weak and I couldn't move.

"Gerald! Run! Gerald!"

Gray shouted. I could only stare at him weakly. He was already down from the officer's arms. His body suddenly lighted up, and so did the other people. I didn't know what happened but when I realized it, people started to fight that monster.

I lay staring at the sky. It was a lie if I said I wasn't afraid. There was a monster in front of me, how could I calm down?

I wanted to fight too like other people, but I couldn't do anything. How could people suddenly be so powerful? Why were they not afraid? What happened to them?

An ugly green face with two horns was looking at me. It was an orc, I saw it a lot in games.

That was the last thing I saw before its hand separated my head from my body.

[Congratulations!]

    If it weren't for Amenus there, they would have surely run and panicked. But they believed that Amenus could protect them from the disaster.All eyes were on Gin. The way they looked at him now was different. He was no longer Gin, the slave they used to watch. He was Gin the disaster that they had to defeat before he killed them.To be honest, Gin had no intention of killing them all. Taking them out one by one was too exhausting for him. It would be more efficient to retrieve his core and destroy the whole world at once. Wasn't that more efficient?But the fear of the dwarves had consumed them.

    "Now, what we've all been waiting for! The elf!"The crowd's cheers welcomed Gin's arrival. He wondered why he was referred to as an elf. He stood in the middle of the arena, which was completely enclosed. If it weren't for the voices of the audience, he would have thought he was alone there.Gin looked up at the ceiling. The barrier covered everything. It was shaped like a curved white roof that covered the arena. There was not even a small gap for him to see outside. He didn't know where Amenus was, and he couldn't sense anyone's aura here. Such a strong barrier couldn't have been created by just anyone."And his opponent for tonight will be... The boy!" The cheers died down as Sammy emerged. The audience began murmuring among themselves, creating a loud rumble.Sammy walked timidly. When he reached the edge of the arena, he hesitated and went back inside."I don't want to die! Please help me! I don't want to!" His pleas touched the hearts of many, or at least they pretended to be t

He reached for the shirt that he was wearing, clutching it tightly to restrain himself."It's not time yet. I have to hold back. If he appears now, Amenus might escape again. That cowardly demon is too weak to face me."Gin took a deep breath. He couldn't mess everything up. If his instincts were correct, Amenus hadn't arrived in this kingdom yet, but he was very close.Gin had to wait. He was certain that the moment would come. It was the last opportunity that he couldn't afford to waste.Gin opened his eyes to observe his surroundings. He managed to control himself, and those in the room were unaware of his killing aura.{Master, calm yourself. There's no need to rush; you will surely meet him later.}Unlike usual, Gargan was calming Gin and advising him to be patient. But Gargan was right; even if Gin didn't do anything now, he would still encounter Amenus. It was better for him to wait with

It resembled a gift.He pulled Lilian into the carriage and locked the door with a spell so that she couldn't jump out."You brought me just to show your cruelty?"

The forest, usually filled with dense trees and fruit-bearing trees where creatures lived, had turned into pillars of fire reaching the sky.He had to be careful not to be burned by the branches. Gerald created a water barrier that helped him walk through the intense heat of the flames. With each step he took, there was only fire and more fire.Gerald's eyes swept around the forest. Some parts had already started to die down, leaving only ashes. His eyes caught sight of the remnants of some living creatures.Gerald sighed. He was too late.As far as Gerald could remember, there was a village here. He quickened his pace, hoping the village was still intact.A growl from the sky made him look up.

    Became a Fighting Clown

    Gin didn't care about freedom. Fighting was the only thing he sought. He could rampage through this place, head to the palace, and kill the Dwarf Queen. But that wasn't his reason for being here.He only wanted information because he believed Amenus was in a hard-to-reach place. Gin wouldn't find Amenus just by destroying this kingdom."Fight with whom?" Gin pretended to buy time.The Dwarf General was pleased with Gin's interest. A slave would do anything to be free, that was what he thought."There will be a fighting arena tonight to welcome The Lord's arrival. If you can survive in that fight, you will be free."Gin held back his smile. This was what he had been waiting for. The Lord, Amenus, would appear tonight, and he could easily confront that villain."Alright. I will do whatever you ask as long as you set me free."***Gargan and Viviz refused to leave. They waited outside the castle cave door with unwelcoming faces. Some guards tried to escort them away, but the two divine b

    What's Behind A Smile

    Panka was standing in front of them, its nostrils right in front of the leader's face. The sound of the closing door was the second horror.After realizing the danger ahead, the dwarves screamed in unison and ran towards the door.The door was closed, secretly shut by Viviz. They were in a state of panic, with their pants even wet from urine. Their hands pounded on the iron door in vain."Help! Help us! Open the door!""Open the door!""I still want to live! No! I'm still a virgin!"While they were shouting in a frenzy, Panka sat back down on the floor. The beast calmly waited for Gin's command.They were too panicked to notice the presence of Gin and the others. The dwarves began various attacks to open the door, but from the beginning, the door was designed not to be easily opened from the inside.They unleashed fire magic, air magic, and even multiple explosions. Gin watched them like a fireworks festival. The thunderous sound couldn't even be heard by the guards outside."We're go

    Despite what it looked like, Panka behaved like a dog. The creature stuck out its tongue, dripping sticky saliva that was repulsive.Gin took a few steps back to avoid the saliva."What do you mean, I am your owner? How could it be? This is the first time we've met."Panka tilted its head to the right and the other head to the left, colliding with each other in the middle. "But you called me.""I never called you. You were already here when I arrived."If Gin paid attention, Panka's mouth didn't move as it should when it spoke. But its voice entered his head as if Gin could understand the language of dogs, or whatever it was.Its voice sounded like a boy, so Gin assumed Panka was male. There was only one voice that could be heard even though Panka had two heads. The heads also showed the same expressions as the other head. Two heads, one consciousness, that was the closest conclusion."You called me, I could sense your presence, but when I came, you weren't here, Master. I thought we
