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
[A NEW GATE HAS OPENED][Location: Freeland of the West]My eyes sharpened. I can see the system notifications very clearly. But it is impossible. The first and last gate that appeared in this world was five thousand years ago. I never thought another gate would open.I step back on trembling legs. My back hit the bushes and leaves. While forcing my feet to move faster, I turn around, heading back to the hut where the ogres were.They're still there, arguing with my subordinates about something. Upon seeing my expression, Gargan and Viviz immediately approach me. They understand how I feel by now.Even though they can't exactly read my mind, they can understand what I am feeling. Through our memory connection, they know about the system immediately."Do you know where Freeland of the West is?" I ask Gargan.Gargan shakes her head slowly. That's surprising. I thought she knows every area of this world."It's not far from here sir," the ogre's leader suddenly interrupts our conversati
A very strong buzzing sound pierces my ears. It is so loud like a broken microphone is in my head.I press my ear hard but the sound doesn't go away. The stinging dizziness gradually became more and more painful. My head feels like it has been stabbed from the inside and can burst at any moment.I can't breathe. This pain makes me forget how to breathe.[System error!][Retrying...]That window shows up even when I close my eyes. I can't even think, this pain is too much. I feel like I can faint right now.The pain in my head radiates to my neck. Now it's not only my head, but my neck bone hurts. I can hear my bones cracking as if they are being forcefully broken and bent. If it keeps happening, I will really die.The pain spread again to my chest. This is the most painful part. My heart squeezed. It hurts more than when I ate Siren's scale. My lungs feel like it's about to pop. There isn't even a bit of air that I can breathe.This pain is too crazy. I can't handle it anymore. Now I
