Stranded Stranger Chapter Nineteen: Armored Guy
This mysterious world was filled with peculiar creatures, but Shawn didn't want to fight something he couldn't see, like a ghost. A few moments later, he began hearing some weird sounds and laughing around him, making him a little bit uncomfortable.The laughter grew louder and louder, and Shawn noticed that it came from a girl. Her laughter was harsh, like that in a horror movie, but Shawn tried to strengthen his stance. In case there was a ghost, he wouldn't hesitate to run."Who are you?" Shawn asked, with fear in his voice. "Please don't play with me; show your face!"Someone suddenly appeared in front of him. Shawn got into a position of being ready to run as fast as he could, but instead of doing such things and seeing who it was, he couldn't move his feet."Ava?" Shawn asked in a confused tone. His jaw drooped in surprise; he was stuck staring right at the gorgeous lady with long, curly black hair and lilac eyes. "What are you doing here?""What am I doing here?" Ava repeated t
Stranded Stranger Chapter Twenty: Camouflage
Shawn and Ava have reached the third level of the dungeon, where they will fight some skeletons who are controlled by dark magic. This time, Ava used her skills to cut them into pieces; however, they were going back to their normal state."Step back, Ava," Shawn ordered, as he got an idea on how to defeat those monsters without letting them come back to life, though they were already dead a hundred times. "I have a plan."Ava stopped behind her boy. She watched Shawn carefully as he would defeat those skeletons, studying every move he made and familiarizing herself with how he'd fight, especially when he said he had a plan.Shawn used fire magic to burn them in just one single blow; he turned them into ashes, leaving no trace of their existence in this world. In that way, they weren't able to regain their bones."How did you do that, Shawn?" Ava asked with amazement in her voice. "You didn't even use a spell or magic circles to defeat them. Are you really a magician or what? Can you t
Stranded Stranger Chapter Twenty-One: Salamander
"What did you say, Ruby?" the demon lord, who had two horns on his head, reddish eyes that were ignited by his anger, and sharp teeth, asked his general, who was kowtowing in front of him.The demon lord wasn't as creepy as others thought; he was even more handsome with his high nose, short blonde hair, soft facial lines, and brown skin, despite his age. He looked like a normal adventurer in his figure, more likely to be thought of as a human than a monster."How dare you let those trespassers escape?" The demon lord became so angry that the dark smoke-like thing began surrounding his body. His mana was darker than that of any demon. The lines on his face slowly grew thicker, like the roots of a plant."I'm sorry, Milord. I didn't mean to let them escape," Ruby apologized, bowing again and again on the floor, hurting her own head, which started bleeding.Ruby knew that it was better to hurt herself than be punished by her master, because she knew that it would be so painful that she w
Stranded Stranger Chapter Twenty-two: Holy Sword
After defeating the priests of death, Shawn, Ava, and the old man proceeded to the next room, where they had to fight another monster called Gordon, a venomous serpent that had a mythological origin. It was actually the queen of the most venomous snakes in the world.Seeing it with his own eyes, Shawn couldn't believe that even mythological creatures also existed in this world. How rare to see such a creepy thing, especially that it wasn't just a normal Gordon, for it had twelve heads and twenty-four eyes.Shawn was about to look at Gordon's face when Ava covered his eyes. "Don't look into its eyes, or you'll become a stone. I don't want to lose you yet," she whispered in his right ear.After hearing Ava, Shawn remembered what he read from books when he was still on Earth: that anyone who looked into Gordon's eyes would turn into a stone, so he was wondering how he would fight it if he couldn't look into its eyes."I know." Shawn removed Ava's palm from his face and looked into her fa
Stranded Stranger Chapter Twenty-three: Golems
Ava didn't expect to hear those words from Shawn. She knew he had a point; even if it was the old man who attracted the demon lord to attack their kingdom, he didn't kill Ava's parents with his own hands.But what could Ava do? No matter how she put it, the old man was still one of the reasons why her parents died. Her parents, who didn't do anything wrong but fight that dragon who attacked the Land of Dusk, including its surrounding villages."It was supposed to be him who died, not them!" Ava screamed in her mind. "He was the one who led that dragon to our home, but he didn't even fight it. How could he call himself an adventurer?"The old man knew he was such a coward, especially that day when he could have helped eliminate the dragon, but due to his fear, he just escaped from his responsibility.He remembered Ava's parents, who were asking him to take care of their children before their last breaths. What a fool he was to not even care whether they died. Even if it was him who dro
Stranded Stranger Chapter Twenty-four: Alice Wonders
Outside the adventurer's guild, Ash was sitting on the stairs. His palms on his face and his elbows on his knees, as if he were bored watching the people go back and forth until they slowly disappeared. It was already evening, and he was still waiting for his sister to come back before dinner.Ash couldn't convince himself that his sister, the old man, and Shawn would be alright. Even though he wanted to follow them, Leo and Emma wouldn't let him, saying that he might encounter dangerous monsters along the way."Just what do they think of me?" Ash shouted as he suddenly stood up, making the people look at him with surprised, confused, and worried faces.Ash didn't want to cause trouble, so he sat down again, wondering why these people always treated him like a kid, even though he was already of age and strong enough to take quests and fight those monsters. He didn't even have the chance to show the results of his training.Emma was having a conversation with the guild boss when she he
Stranded Stranger Chapter Twenty-five: Magic Stones
Inside the dungeon, Shawn, Ava, and the old man were planning how to defeat their enemies. It seemed like the heat of their arguments had begun to fade, and they realized that they should prioritize their survival instead of their personal beliefs."Where did you leave my brother, master?" Ava asked, showing a worried face as she thought about her brother. "He might have caused trouble again."Ava couldn't really focus on what was in front of her if she wasn't sure that her brother was doing fine. No matter where she was or what she was doing, she always put her brother first, to the point that other people thought of her as a single mom."I left him at the adventurer's guild. Don't worry, Ava, I asked Leo and Emma to take care of your brother while we're gone," the old man replied. "We should focus on how to defeat all the enemies in this dungeon if we still want to see him again.""Alright then!" Shawn interrupted. "Tell us about our next enemies. We may be able to use the informati
Stranded Stranger Chapter Twenty-six: Demon Lord
"Good grief, you're both here. I thought you were taken by the demon lord already," Shawn said in relief, seeing Ava and the old man safe and sound."Are you done with them already?" Ava asked. She couldn't believe that Shawn defeated those demons so fast, and he didn't even get a scratch, but instead a smile on his face that sent her goosebumps.Shawn nodded in reply, then he wondered why they stopped in front of a huge steel door. They looked exhausted, or more likely to be hesitating to enter it. He didn't know what was inside, but it seemed like something strong was living there."How could you eliminate those demons so fast?" the old man asked. "There's not even a single sweat on your face. Did you really fight them?""Yeah, of course," Shawn replied. "I couldn't use my communication skills with those demons because they were controlled by dark magic. I also couldn't use exorcism skills, so I decided to burn them.""You burned them? Do you mean you can use fire magic?" Ava asked

Chapter Sixty-four: Resurrection
Florence woke up on his wooden bed upholstered with white bedsheets inside his room that was built inside a huge tree in the world of elves. He slowly stood up as he remembered what happened. He was so incapable of protecting the most valuable elven treasure, and he knew that his father would be mad at him. "Why did you allow that gem to be taken away? Don't you know that our lives depend on it?" Eldric asked, holding his wooden cane firmly, trying to hold himself back as he might accidentally strike his nephew for his mistakes. "I'm really sorry, uncle," Florence apologized, bowing his head more than forty-five degrees, showing how much regret he had for being so gullible and letting the demon lord take the gem of life when his father had already warned him not to let anyone touch it or tell anyone about it because it could attract power-thirsty people. "Your sorry can do nothing." Eldric sighed. "You have to go back to the world of humans and take it back. Our family has trusted
Chapter Sixty-three: Wiped Out
No matter how many times he had transformed into his hero mode, Shawn still found it exciting every time it happened because he knew something interesting was going to happen, and he felt like he was the main character of the story. His green t-shirt turned into silver armor, and he was now holding his golden sword. He hadn't had a satisfying fight recently, and his battle-maniac personality had been waiting for this opportunity. "I'm leaving the rest to you guys!" Shawn exclaimed before charging towards the demon lord. He swung his sword, ready to slash the demon lord with all his might, thinking that he would take the enemy down in one blow, but a strong force coming from the dark barrier when he landed a hit sent him flying back mid-air. "Shawn!" Ava exclaimed in a worried tone of voice. She was about to come and help him, but the bloodthirsty queen of bats blocked her way. "Where are you going? Your enemy is me!" Morgra asserted, licking her cheeks with her long black tongue,
Chapter Sixty-two: Life & Death
Everyone was stunned when the old man suddenly transformed into a feared demon—the ruler of all demons, the demon lord who could command every demon and monster. He had deliberately lured our heroes to his domain, where his most advanced monsters had gathered. "Who's that weirdo?" Ava asked, trying to lighten the tense atmosphere. "Do you know him, Shawn?" "It's the demon lord—the one we hunted in the past," Shawn replied. "Do you remember?" "The demon lord?" Ava repeated, confused. "But I thought he was already dead. You killed him, right?" "I did," Shawn said, frowning. "But... I don't know. Maybe he got reincarnated. After all, everyone else is here too, so that's not impossible." "He seems powerful enough to threaten us," Leo said, his body radiating a fiery, passionate aura. "I’ll never forgive anyone who mocks my friend's identity." Shawn frowned in confusion. If the demon lord had been pretending to be the old man all along, he should have already killed them. Why w
Chapter Sixty-one: The Revelation
Planinkins, also known as Aethermites, are thumb-sized creatures, but their size doesn't account for their massive cosmic powers. They have purplish skin and deep, one eye that resembled miniature galaxies. They were often misidentified as little cyclops. Each Planinkin has semi-transparent wings that allow them to fly in space. They were so powerful and could change their appearance anytime they wanted. However, they weren't allowed to enter any planets, as it was against their rules. They could only watch humans and monsters from a distance, wondering what it felt like to live inside an orb, especially in the planet called Earth where intelligent creatures reside. "Oh no! This couldn't be happening!" Nayari, one of the Planinkins, screamed when she saw two planets moving in the same axis and they were about to collide. The other Planinkins flew towards her to see what happened. Their eyes turned wide after seeing the two planets moving in the same axis against each other. They ha
Chapter Sixty: Advanced Monsters
The huge black dragon landed in the next city, where giant monsters were waiting. The six heroes immediately went to work to rescue the people. It was another intense battle where Alice could have ended her life. "Let's set this world on fire!" Leo exclaimed, throwing fireballs at the monsters. The monsters started screaming in pain as their bodies got burned. They struggled, trying to shake the fire off their bodies, but instead made it spread even more until they fell to the ground and died. Florence, on the other hand, had been thinking why the old man was so familiar, like she had met him before. He remembered someone as he watched him fight those monsters. An old friend. "He couldn't be him. Isaac couldn't have gotten this old too soon. Even Leo isn't that old yet. I must have mistaken it," Florence said to himself. "Are you alright?" Alice asked, noticing her elf friend behaved like he was lost in thought. "Um, yeah, I am," Florence replied. He saw the monsters coming towa
Chapter Fifty-nine: A Different Story
"Where is the old man?" Shawn asked when he noticed that Oregon didn't show up during their battle against the monsters. There were supposed to be seven heroes who saved the world from destruction, but there were only six of them since he didn't show up. "He probably hid somewhere where those media workers couldn't find him, take a picture, or record a video of him fighting against monsters. You already know that old man; he doesn't like attention and loves to do things without external validation," Ava explained. Shawn whistled using his fingers to call the dragon that immediately landed. Everyone was surprised how he could control such a huge dragon, but he didn't mind them. "Thank you so much for saving us! Please come back!" The people shouted at them for giving them hope during the monster outbreak. "Let's go, guys!" Shawn shouted, and his friends immediately ran towards him. Their mission in this place was over, but they knew that there were still a lot of places and people
Chapter Fifty-eight: Breakthrough
"You shouldn't have done that, Ash!" Ava scolded her little brother. "I don't know what could happen to you if Shawn didn't come to save you. You already knew that—" Ava didn't finish her words when Ash hugged her and apologized, "I'm sorry, sister. I didn't mean to make you worried. I should have been more careful." "It's fine. It already happened; just don't make the same mistake again, okay?" Ava said, patting her brother's head. "Okay," Ash replied. He used wind magic to fly to the second floor of the school building in front of the gate. At this height, he could see the monsters coming with his little telescope. Leo followed Ash to the second floor, while Shawn, Alice, and Ava stood at the gate. They had temporarily defeated the monsters near the school, but they knew that another wave of monsters was about to arrive. They need to protect this place no matter what happens because it contains a lot of refugees in there. It became the citizens' evacuation center. Meanwhile
Chapter Fifty-seven: Chaos
With everyone's cooperation, the six heroes successfully defeated the enemy dragons. However, the huge red ants were waiting for them below, and they couldn't find a safe place to land because in every portion of the planet, there were monsters waiting, waiting for food. "Guys, I have an idea," Shawn said, informing his friends. "Let's play it safe and attack those monsters from a distance. We don't really have to get close to them." "How would you do that?" Ava asked. "Why would I put my skills to no use? Only magicians can attack from a range, and we are not magicians." "Just leave the work to us, Ava," Leo said, wiping his reddish hair from his face as he prepared to show off. "I'll burn all those monsters asses! Watch me!" "And me!" Ash interjected, using the little telescope he brought with him to see the monsters from a distance, but what he saw was his angry sister who's face told him to cut the crap since he couldn't control his magic yet. "Don't underestimate the po
Chapter Fifty-six: Six Heroes
Shawn checked his status and tried logging out from the game. He felt sad leaving the progress he had made inside the game, but he couldn't live in this world forever. He knew that Ava was waiting for him to come back, and his parents, he had to find them."Shawn! Shawn!" The voice came closer and louder. As Shawn opened his eyes, he saw Ava in front of his face with teary eyes."Shawn! I'm so glad you're alive!" Ava suddenly hugged him. "You've been dormant for two weeks already. I was so worried when we found you unconscious in the kitchen.""Ava." Shawn touched Ava's face to know if he wasn't just dreaming again. He slowly stood up from the bed, looked at his palms, as if he couldn't believe he was back. "How about my parents?""I'm sorry, Shawn, but your parents are still missing until now, but we're doing our best to find them. We have already asked for Florence's help, and there is something very important he wanted to discuss with us," Ava replied, standing up straight."What is
