Hello. I come with two updates as promised. I wish you good health and good luck for tomorrow.
After collecting enough crystal flowers, I received another notification from the System that I have finished another mission.We exited the cave, encountering some monsters on the way back, but we’re practically fed up by them. And we’re tired. So we were a bit merciless towards them.We just wanted to go back and rest.When we finally reached the entrance, there were already two guards there.“We were worried because the girl hasn’t got out. We were about to come look for you.” The guard said.She forced a smile and apologized. “Sorry, I was trapped. This guy saved me, and I’m okay. Though I definitely need a warm bath.”“I would need that too.” I said before I yawn. This trip was exhausting.The guards chuckled. “It’s good to see you two are okay. Come to the post and let us check you out. We’ll stop the bus for you.”Yes, well, unfortunately, we couldn’t just leave even after exiting the cave. We went here on permission after all. After taking care of the formal stuffs, we sat the
“This goes here, and then here, and then—why can’t I make it good like butterfly wings?” I look at myself in the mirror. I’ve been trying to tie this over and over, but I just can’t get it right.Eventually, I give up on the bow tie and wear my yellow pendant outside of the shirt, so now it’s the one adorning my front other than the folded handkerchief in my pocket. I untie one of the top buttons of the shirt, and I also untie my tuxedo. So I probably look like a bad boy now… But I don’t care. I can’t waste all night tying a fricking bow tie and I don’t want to look unready.Besides, that bow tie makes me look stupid.I’m just attending because firstly, there are wonderful people that are going to come, and secondly, I’m curious about the food prepared for the buffet.I know nothing’s gonna happen in this banquet, which is why I’m just going to be realistic for a bit and enjoy the event. This is the time to make friends. I will show the characters that I’m a very fun person to be arou
Just before Fay, Rean, and Terrence entered the courtyard, they were arguing.“No, no, no. That is not an acceptable apology. They can’t just send you to talk to me on behalf of them!” I told Fay.“And I’m telling you, they sent me to talk to you on behalf of everyone. And this is the last time. You even refused Sir Cromwell, that was rude.” Fay reprimanded calmly.“Excuse me. I don’t understand what is going on.” Rean’s face already showed that the redhead is bewildered by the ordeal.I turned to him. “Harcourt insulted me and she sent Fay to apologize in her place!”Rean immediately frowned. “Is that true, Ms. Fay?”Fay rolled her eyes. “Not the way I would put it. The problem is much more complicated than that.”I beg to differ. “It is not.”Fay turned to me with an eyebrow raised. “Really? You’re going to make a scene on this again?”I frown at her. “Oh Harcourt is the one who needs to grow up, Fay.”Fay looked at me in amusement. “And you’re not?”My lips twitch in annoyance. “Yo
BANG“Shraa!” The plant monster Coniver slowly falls to the ground. Its greenish brown skin fades into darker shades of brown following its death.I blow the barrel of my ORION with a smile. “Easy peasy.”Thanks to Khione side mission, I’m now level 13. The monsters in here are not threats to me now. Except the Tygris. But as long as I don’t go to the 5th level or 5th floor, and downward, it’s all good.I look around the training center. Because I wasn’t that strong yet, I didn’t dare go past the 1st floor, so I’m going to use this opportunity to take a walk in the training center.Yeah, I decided to go to here to cool down.Since there’s a banquet, no one would expect anyone going here, so there’s no guard. I also didn’t bring my Arrow with me, which means I have no GPS tracker on me. So I don’t need to worry that anyone would caught me in here.I stroll down the grassy stairway to the 3rd floor, passing a pair of big glowing crystals. As this training center was built above layers o
I aim at the coming Tygris and activate my new skill.‘Ice Shot.’I fire my gun three times while running away from it and the tree. Three bullets fly from the barrel of my gun with thick white streaks. The Tygris dodges the first shot, but it could not dodge the next two with its big body. And this time, thankfully, my bullets actually draw blood.“Yes!” I grin when I see the red stains forming in its orange coat.“RAWR!” I laugh because I finally got the reaction I’m yearning for. “Finally crying, aren’t you?!”“Look out!”I instantly jump to the side, again, dodging the Tygris’s lunge attack. But the monster turns around fast this time, and I scramble to my feet.It growls at me at the same moment of its green eyes glow. Suddenly, I feel the earth moves around me.“Oh shit.”The ground below me is suddenly elevated and I lost my balance. But even when my face had planted on the ground, the ground around me begins moving erratically, punching me with rocks and hard soil. My body ac
We stop running just after we reach the 1st floor. Heaves and huffs escape our lips as we take our breath.“I want to thank you again, Terrence. If you weren’t here, I don’t know what would happen to me.” Ollie said.I still cannot erase the familiarity from him, but I just cannot figure out who this guy is. But I decided not to think about that too much.“You’re welcome. But next time, please don’t go in by yourself. It doesn’t matter how high the magic you mastered. That Tygris isn’t a foe you can take down by yourself.” I said seriously.Even when I play the game, I only dare to come here when the available characters had reached level 15 at the bare minimum. With Khione in hand too. As it would be very hard to beat it without good amount of HP, strength, and resources. It gives a handsome amount of EXP and Gold when defeated, as well as AP. But it’s worthy of the preparation.However it’s still unfathomable that I didn’t think of using Khione at all before. If only I had remembere
‘How am I so stupid to not know?’ I mull over to myself.“Look, if it’s such a big deal, I’ll treat you to lunch for a month. But can we just forget that problem? I really want to be friends with you.” Kanon said, looking away and looking a bit nervous.“Uhh… You don’t have to do that.” I said. I look at her. ‘Now how should I move on with this?’She looks at me. “But you seem so serious. You must be upset.”I gulp and nervously look away. “I’m just not expecting you to be here.”She looks at me curiously. “No… You’re not expecting me to come up to ‘you’, are you?”“It’s the same.” I pop a samosa into my mouth. The delicious chicken curry invades my mouth as soon as I chew.She smiles knowingly. “Aww. You’re a sucker for sweet gestures. I know exactly fifteen guy who are just like you and trust me, they all melt after they know me.”I hum. “Mmhm. You’re gonna have a hard time melting me.”“And why is that?” She asked, taking a step closer to me with a smug smile.“Because I’m a diamon
Early in the morning, I checked my menu right away and realized that on the hidden mission last night, the Tygris did get beaten. Because my level had reached 15 and I had 10.000 Ecras beside my name.“Is this real? I thought we haven’t managed to beat the cat?” I wondered.[You have. Ollie’s magic helped you lower its HP by half, then your attacks gave it critical damages due to the Ice element, and Khione finished it with her skills. The reward is yours.]I grinned satisfactorily. “A’ight… Hahaha!”But I couldn’t enjoy my victory for much longer because I was immediately called to the Counseling Office. I immediately changed into something more presentable and left my dorm.As soon as I arrived, the headmaster was there, also Fay, that old Cornell, and lastly, Harcourt. I greeted them equally before taking a seat as instructed. Harcourt was the first to speak.“Terrence, I realized that my words may have hurt you—”“It had.” I nodded calmly.Harcourt looked taken aback while the oth
