It's been many weeks since the tragedy in the village, but no one knows or has heard anything about what happened there. It appears to have never existed in the first place. The master-disciple duo stood at the food booth, staring at the grilled meat with seasonal vegetables, salads, and various sauces. Everyone wants to nibble on that piece of meat because of the perfume it emits.“Can we eat?” Gura asked while salivating at the dish in front of her eyes. “Nope…” Screw said, while his stomach grumbled, “You got money?” He asked.“None,” she cried.[The system suggests working as an adventurer.]The system suddenly suggested the most efficient way to gain spare money. As he read the system prompt, Screw started to create a future plan for him and his daughter, Gura.“I think I know what I should do.” Screw walks away from the food booth, and Gura follows him into some dark alleyways, turning right from the corner. “Whe
In an outlying earth at the center of the thicket nymph, a castle view is heavenly with a complicated architecture. High-ranking guards standing at the top of the citadel screen, with the glorious hands of intellectuals and engineers. A revolting, ethereal quality of a perfect kingdom had outlined the surface of this magnificent castle. Inside are the most breathtaking patterns carved with graceful edifices and monuments of the kings and queens.A youthful lady with a silvery dress marked with an eye and an emblematic cross with a blue mask walks through the room of this grand castle. The lady was between the ages of fifteen and eighteen, with a porcelain complexion, huge blue eyes, long eyelashes, red lips, and a mole on her top left lip. She's indeed a beauty to behold.The young lady arrives at the majestic door, and the guardians open it slowly, exposing the most delicate interior of the palace. She goes in, greets others with a simple nod,
The blistering heat burned, the sun shined down from the highest peak on the people, and the eight individuals were struck by the crown. When they try to overcome what is in front of them, sweat and blood combine. He called out, “Kacha, now” and the wizard finished his chant, killing the elite minotaur. These eight persons exhaled in relief as the smell of burning flesh filled the air. They then called for the ninth person as they caught their breath and recovered some strength. Porter. A young girl with a huge cart and a large bag suddenly emerged and started to go toward the burning monster body. A holy-looking woman wearing a tight dress and a robe gave the order, “Make it quick, slave.” She simply nods and starts gathering and disassembling the charred flesh, hide, and horns that she can still save. The dismantling process was completed in less than three hours. “Leader, I'm done,” she says as she walks away from her job. “Why do you take so long?” he grumbled. “But, leader,
“What a beautiful drawing,” she says, mesmerized. She keeps on staring and touching the book. “I wish I could read; I don't have the luxury of attending school.” She sighed and kept imagining that if she's a scholar, she can do a lot of things. Learning to count from one to ten is the only thing she learned while watching and imitating the people around her. “I suppose I can get a few copper coins for this book? Maybe silver coins as well?” She instantly headed towards the road, and while it was now dark, she continued to walk. “But before that, I need to find a party of adventurers who are in severe need of a porter.” Even though it was almost midnight, the street was as crowded as usual with people going about their business. The full moon and starry sky delighted everyone. In the middle of it are the adventurers guild, who are active twenty-four hours a day. She entered the building and proceeded towards the quest list. Searching for a good quest for which a porter will be neede
A girl climbs inside the deserted home to seek temporary refuge. Through the rear entrance, she entered and proceeded to the hallway. She discovered a staircase leading to the attic while investigating. She said, “I think that's a decent location,” and made a decision to go up to the attic. Even though the room had only low light and was really dark and chilly, it was nevertheless rather comfortable. It was peaceful and warm. “Well, all I need to do now is prepare myself and delight in this magical book” she opens the magical book, and a dazzling light bursts forth, blinding her. “Eh? What's that light all about?” She asks as she squints her eyes in perplexity and flips to another page. When the light fades, she looks down and sees words in front of her like a spell, spelled out in blood with the same red hue as fresh blood. "Screw the Sage: The Worst Secrets You Will Learn On This Planet," the sage book, was now getting a new chapter. Unexpectedly, a left black arm reached out and
“What a big plant. What a big nut.” His iris in his eyes expand as his emotion surge for curiosity he looks closer to investigate the strange plant, and the big nut besides it. “For further investigation I, Screw— need to touch the nut.” He stretches his arm and gently touch it. Feeling every inch of the nut excites him more. “Hmm… What a big bulge, black nut. Should I smell it?” Without removing his plague mask, he drew closer and try to smell it. *Sniff* He smacks the nut as hard as he can and says, “Ahahahahaha, that was foolish of me. I'm wearing a mask. Dang it.” “I'm intrigued by this weird plant, especially this nut, since it reminds me of things I've long since forgotten.” “What do you think?” “Alright then, it's decided we will take these nuts.” He pulled his knife from his belt, unsheathed it, and examined the stem. His hook knife was used to attempt to cut it: “Dang, it's hard to cut... it's just a stem.” Screw, laugh hysterically once more, smack the nut a few times
“Can you walk?” Screw asks the young Gura, who is sitting in front of him, as he places his cheek on his right hand. She said emotionlessly, “Numb,” wearing a poker face. He snatches Gura and carries her on his arm, saying, “Come up; I'll carry you.” She said, “Sticky.” The little lady was dragged by Screw to a lake not far away. After setting the small girl down, he doused her in water. The moment the water touched her body, she shuddered a bit. “Cold.” He uses his own hooded cloth to dry her after washing her. To cast the spells [Clean]* and [Dry]*, he lifted his hand and snapped a finger. [Casting spell: Failed] As expected, he can't use his magic and cast it to people apart from himself. Even the most basic and necessary spells are prohibited for him to cast. After picking up the little girl, he went to the forest with the intention of spending the night there beneath the huge tree he had just found. He doesn't frequently save his food; therefore, the child needed to be fed e
They've been inside for a few days now, and they're still moving slowly and cautiously through the tangled jungle. Nevertheless, today it appears like someone arrived here before them since he can clearly hear their footsteps resonating loudly among the tall trees. “Someone is approaching us,” Screw said as he retreated behind a bush. [System notification] [Another beast was detect] A swarm of goblins was in front of him. They appear to be getting ready to battle. After some time, the goblins' line of defense was breached by the stamp of a hoof. A large bull with two enormous horns arrived, standing on two legs and brandishing an axe. In front of the goblins, the minotaur's foot struck the ground and stomped on it. A goblin charged forward to assault him but was stopped by an axe that slammed down quickly on his neck and severed his head. The lifeless corpse hit the ground as it dropped. The might of this beast astounded the goblins, who were quickly overpowered. “(@_@)” “(
