2024-10-29 19:42:56A 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 seized her hair. Her hair was being pulled in the direction of the book. She yelled in agony as it jerked her head violently, causing her eyes to water.
Her hair was being seized by an unknown power, and she could see blood flowing out of her head as she was drawn further into the pages of the tattered book. The girl on the ground gasped for oxygen and let tears roll down her cheeks as this continued until the hand holding her hair disappeared.
As she was able to breathe again, she searched around for her assailant but was only able to make out the curse book in the area. The girl was pulled toward the book by an additional arm that materialized out of nowhere and gripped the back of her neck.
She was being carried through the book more quickly with each step when another set of arms suddenly sprang out and grasped her legs, keeping her from kicking at the mysterious creature holding her.
The first arm vanished once again, and a headless man emerged. He grinned at her before opening his mouth wide to show rows of shark-like fangs. As the other hand came up to the girl's throat and securely gripped it, one of the arms let go of the girl and began to yank at her hair once again.
The girl gasped as more blood poured out of the hole in her scalp, and then she completely stopped moving when the two remaining arms grasped both of her shoulders and brutally shook them.
Before she felt the grasp on her throat tighten, she was utterly motionless. She attempted to open her eyelids, but the amount of blood loss had sealed them shut. The darkness obscured her view, making it impossible for her to hear or even see.
It extended its lips and swallowed the girl whole as soon as she came close to him, carrying her away. The last thing she remembered seeing was the torn curse book of darkness swallowing the gloomy planet she knew so well.
Yet rather than vanish, it persisted in drawing her further and deeper into its depths until all that remained was complete quiet and darkness.

A hymn through the wind, beating the sound of nature as it calls the prophet.

This is the song he always sings. He has obviously forgotten where he last heard it, but his Last Song Syndrome keeps on bugging him. As he walks to the greenery valley, he keeps reminding himself it's a peaceful era, nothing can go wrong…
“Yes, you heard that? Nothing goes wrong because it is currently peaceful time.”
“Anyway, hello their person from the other side…”
“Yes. You. I know you can hear me, or watch me? Or… maybe you can read me?”
“You don't need to answer because I'll never hear your thoughts and voice anyway. Hmm… People will think I'm crazy, so how about this…”
“Let's say— I'm assuming you can hear me or see me. How's that sound?”
“I don't care whether you're convinced or not, I'm talking to myself— I'm convincing myself.”
“Welcome! Welcome person from the other side of the screen. Welcome to the world full of nuts.”
“I humbly bow, named Screw.”
He introduced himself while bowing in front of big rock. After the self-introduction he continued his happy walk, and as he walked deeper into the valley he noticed a single drop of blood.
“Blood? Where did this come from?” He looked around for a hint. When he looked up, another drop of blood fell from his head. “A blood again. This is strange” he saw a single light flashing from the sky, and it feels like it's going to fall from the sky...
“It looks like the sun but then again...it's not that bright... I'm just confused... what happened?”
As the third drop of blood started to fall on him, everything turned pitch black. “Was that indeed the sky, or what was it?” He enlarged his eyes to see fully and inquired, “Where did this blood come from? The moon? It looks like a moon, and the stars too. Is it a star?”
“No! Is it another planet?” he said, but before he could continue, the dazzling light vanished and everything around him turned pitch black once more. The light flashed once more as the stars gradually came back to life.
“So that's what it is,“ he continued to walk after saying, “that makes sense now.” He grinned back at you and said, “Seems my readers are puzzled.” He sighed, “I can only say it's a struggle of Sages; the gods desire something.”
He appeared to be thinking carefully as his hand came up to scratch his mask. “So I'll do everything I can for my readers,” he replied, grinning back at you.
He resumed his walk and stated, “I'll help them grasp the entire Sages narrative.” He smiled at the girl in front of him and replied, “I'll do my best.”
The girl nodded back as he finally left, but soon the girl's thoughts drifted back to the bright light just a moment ago. “A war between sages? What could have possibly happened to cause that?”
Her train of thought got stuck on the question, because no matter how many questions she asks in the future, she still doesn't know the answer. “If a god wants something, they won't let it happen themselves.”
A splitting headache attacked her head so forcefully that it forced her to close her eyes and press her temples together with both hands until it subsided. Her body ached all over. She was exhausted, weak, and sick in every sense of the word.
She can't remember how she got here or where she is. But somehow, she's sure she knows. The memory flashes by quickly, but each time more clearly than the one before it. It feels like a part of her is missing or out of sorts. She can feel it. Something isn't right. There is something very wrong.
“Who is that guy anyway?” The girl tried to walk, but her body didn't move at all. “Why can It move?”
“I need to follow that guy; I can feel that I need to follow him wherever he goes.” She looked around in search of any signs of him; she just wanted to know who it was she was speaking with.
The only other thing she felt in her mind was this intense need that urged her to go after the stranger. The urge became more and more unbearable until it almost felt as if her head would explode, and before long, a voice resonating in the depths of her brain told her to get up from the ground where she was sitting and leave.
‘That person is your destiny. Go and find him. But you won't have long until he leaves. You won't have much time before he's gone forever. Go and search yourself… you'll never forgive yourself otherwise.’
“But how do I even know that this guy is my destiny? He could be some random guy, like anyone else. No one wants something bad enough to force themselves into an unknown. It's so stupid…” She sighed heavily then she remembers the cursed tattered book.
She whispered through her breath “Screw the Sage…”

“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.

They've been inside for a few days now, and they're still moving slowly and cautiously through the tangled jungle.

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. “(@_@)” “(

Another bright and brilliant day enveloped the entire woodland. The migrating birds' chorus is being performed by saplings. Fish are moving about, and animals are swimming. But death lurks beneath this beautiful repose. [Is that a little horned squirrel?] The system inquires, looking down at the little creature who is feeding. The small creature chirped, its mouth full of wall nuts, and gazed up at it innocently with huge, innocent black eyes, giving it the appearance of a puppy rather than a squirrel. It was charming and adorable in a strange manner. It had no idea what it was doing here. “Let's change the subject,” he suggests, “because it appears we've done this kind of stuff before.” He rubs his head in frustration.

Screw the Sage Unknown Creature
Elite goblins and hobgoblins were gathered in the middle of the battlefield when a swarm of elite minotaurs plummeted from the sky one by one. The goblin army was alarmed by their unexpected presence. Caught off guard, the goblin king hastily ordered the attack with his entire army, leaving just a few brave guards and even one brave wizard behind him. Unaware that their destiny was sealed that night, they stood there helplessly, powerless to save them. The minotaur general, who appeared to be the most terrifying monster in the forest, let out a loud roar as he plunged head-on into the goblin army, his armor clanging and scraping across the stone floor. With each swing of his battle axe, he slashed at the goblins and killed several more, leaving much more hurt than dead in his wake. He battled fiercely like an ancient warhorse. The minotaur kept going, brandishing death at his foe. When he swung his battle axe, he brought more dead victims into the fray, until the weapon was dripping

He immediately slaughtered everyone who dared stand in his path as he made his way to the goblin king after slaying the minotaur commander. The system prompts, [Why should you jump into the middle of their war instead of finding Gura?] He laughed and responded, “I want to join the fun, you know,” after reading the prompt.He made a hand motion to signal to the system that it was unnecessary to be concerned at all. The system inquired, [Do we need to save her now?], and he said, “No, she's already been saved and safeguarded from the very beginning.”This perplexed the system even more, but instead of asking further questions, it became silent. While the man in question was enjoying himself by massacring the monster within his reach, the system activated more talents to defend and aid him.The system had no opinion, but it was pleased that it could assist, and even if the guy was an awful and twisted killer, it was still wonderful.

The girl got up immediately, perplexed as to what had occurred. She recalls a ruthless hand grabbing her body and dragging her into the book, and then she witnessed the life and tale of a guy in the third person. She's still drowsy from the tiredness, so she just sleeps there, staring at the attic ceiling, for a few moments until her memory returns. Her pulse rate increased slightly as she recalled what had actually occurred, and she became scared. She attempted to remain calm because it wasn't real. ‘This is not true.’ She reflected to herself. Everything was in her head. “The man, his narrative, the little kid, and everything else are all creations of my mind.” She told herself, "I can do this." Everything will be alright if I remain cool and continue to take deep breaths as before. “I'm hungry,” she grumbled as she touched her tummy. “I guess it's already morning,” she replies, rising up and collecting her suitcase before looking and thinking if she would take the cursed book wit

The gods have an eye in every universe; they established this link to facilitate communication and wagering. Gods that crave amusement will go to any length to obtain it. One example is the formation of angels, demon lords, heroes, saints, and monsters to compete for the correct piece to employ. Whoever wins will be fortunate. They LIE.

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.

The adventurers walked right into the Malaska Dungeon. They made it through the first floor, defeating slime and little goblins. They continued traveling after passing through the dungeon's second floor, where they battled even lesser enemies that may pose a severe threat to them.They made it to the third floor, destroyed all the minions in their path, and plundered a tiny goblin village. The fourth floor was likewise simple. The fifth floor included a red ogre in his prime with a powerful axe and a blue ogre who tried to murder them but died after a strike to the head and a few strong punches from the adventurers.They made it to the sixth floor and encountered a little lizard that nearly killed their entire party due to its tremendous magical assault. It killed a massive monster with no obvious vulnerability, but the adventurers had had enough and simply left the unfortunate beast dead on the floor.

When she bites back.
Another wolf came in and lunged at Gura; she escaped the onslaught and slapped its neck with a stick. The wolf, beaten by the stick, rises up and looks at Gura's position. *Grrr* The other wolf sat back and let him hit once again. This time, instead of attacking, the wolf circled Gura, targeting and positioning itself to charge with its claws. She didn't move an inch. Outside, she's as tranquil as water, but on the inside, a seething wave of excitement devours her. She wishes to taste it. That is all over her head. The wolf pounced again after numerous circlings, but this time with more tremendous leg force. He prepared his sharp claws to claw Gura's back and then aim for her neck for a kill. But the wolf was taken aback when Gura moved and confronted his attack head-on, as if she had anticipated it. She flicked her wrist and flung the stick, striking the wolf's nose and causing the creature to lose its equilibrium. This allows Gura to jump into the wolf's body, retrieve her dagger

How would you feel if your friend died in front of you?

It's been weeks since the great village exodus. Many locals became depressed since they didn't know what to do and had lost hope. “If the great chief had not died inside our village, he would have survived and led us; maybe we would have known what to do,” one of the village survivors explained. “We can't do anything; those bandits attack us unexpectedly and without hesitation.” A lady embraces a bundle of grass and inquires, “Why do those bandits attack us?

The city was not particularly large, but the residents were ecstatic. When word spread that a dungeon was sprouting on Malaska Plain, several merchants rushed inside. A guy approached the caravan while examining the surroundings. “Good to see you all arrived safely,” he replied, bowing to them. “As scheduled, we arrive on time; where should we stay?” The guy grinned and motioned for the caravan to follow him. They arrive at the local inn and instructed the members of the caravan to stay and rest for a while and before daybreak they must ready to go to the Malaska plain. The young girl use this time to buy more necessity for her own survival and prepare for the upcoming adventure inside the dungeon.
