Ava was in a hurry when she heard from Shawn that Emma and Leo were coming tonight. She wanted to prepare the most delicious food she could cook in order to celebrate their victory and also to thank them for saving the life of someone she loved. It wouldn't be good if they couldn't show any hospitality, especially if their visitors traveled from far away."Oh! Where are you going?" The old man asked curiously when he saw Ava rushing outside the house with a basket.Ava stopped at the porch and told the old man about Emma and Leo coming tonight, and she was going to the market to buy some ingredients to cook something delicious since their fridge was empty."Do you need help?" The old man asked. "You can bring Ash with you if you need help. He's just playing games on your phone anyway.""Okay. Where is he?" Ava asked. She remembered the day when Shawn carried all those things they brought from the market. Sometimes, she would suddenly laugh when she remembered those moments that turned
Regular classes have resumed right after the disappearance of the monsters. As usual, Shawn woke up early in the morning to prepare for school. He did his casual routine: taking a bath, wearing his uniform, combing his hair, having breakfast, and he was finally ready to go."Good luck, son! Do your best at school!" Shiela said, seeing her son off. "Don't stay outside late at night, okay?" Although she wanted to be a little loose with her son because the monsters were already gone, she couldn't be complacent."Don't worry, mom. Rest assured, I won't stay outside at night," Shawn replied, showing his charming smile.Shiela thought that Shawn looked like his father when he was young, especially their facial features—his high nose, black hair, brown eyes, and the shape of his face were all inherited from his father."You should go now before you'll be late," Shiela said.Shawn smiled at his mother before leaving, as he wasn't that young anymore to kiss her. Shiela watched him walk away, w
After an hour or two, the teacher named Selene Franca finally opened her eyes, and the first person she saw was a girl with curly black hair and golden eyes, sitting beside her. She slowly stood up and started asking a lot of questions."Who are you? Where am I? What happened? What time is it?" Selene asked continuously."Calm down, ma'am. Let's answer your questions one by one. I'm Ava, your student. You've fainted in the morning, and you've been asleep for almost five hours," Ava replied kindly."Did I?" Selene asked, showing a confused face, as she had no idea what really happened, as if she had amnesia and forgot even her own name.Selene held her head firmly. Her face contorted in discomfort, and her brows furrowed deeply as she clenched her jaw, fighting against the throbbing pain radiating from her temples."Are you okay, ma'am?" Ava asked worriedly, although she could already see the answer in her facial expression. "You shouldn't force yourself for now. Just rest for a while.
"Where am I?" Shawn wondered when he opened his eyes and found out he was lost in the middle of nowhere. It was a place he had never been; it wasn't familiar at all, and everything seemed different."What's going on here?" he asked again, seeing dust floating with the wind, creating a tornado. "What the hell? Is this a joke?" He screamed in shock and ran as the tornado became greater than he anticipated."Stop!" An unfamiliar girl, wearing a lilac shirt and pants, shouted at him. She had long, straight black hair and violet eyes that were sharp as daggers. She moved swiftly towards him and asked, "What are you doing here, stranger?""Stranger?" Shawn replied in a curious tone. "I don't know; I don't know what I am doing here. Am I not dead yet? Aren't you an angel fallen from heaven?" He lightly scratched his head and smiled like this was a joke before saying, "I think I'm lost.""What are you talking about? Of course you're lost; you might have been from another kingdom, because you
Days before, Shawn was living an ordinary life on earth. He was a student at Jefferson High School. Just like other people, he had a low profile. He loved keeping things private, never posting on social media about what was going on in his life, and never trusting anyone, not even his own family.That day, about one o'clock in the afternoon, he and his best friend, Justin, were crossing the highway when a rushing ambulance suddenly appeared. His friend managed to survive, but he was hit and died on the spot. That ambulance didn't have a chance to bring him to a hospital; he was brought to a morgue instead.He would usually crack a joke to his classmates, telling them that if they were tired of their lives, they should not worry because there was free makeup in a funeral home, but he couldn't imagine or never expect that he would taste that free makeup first."Hang in there, Shawn!" were the last words he heard from his friend before everything turned dark. He wished he had lost his vi
Shawn was shocked by what he saw as he opened his eyes. Ava was inside his room, sleeping beside him, and they were hugging each other.He was dumbfounded for a while, then he quickly withdrew his arms and stood up to avoid being misinterpreted, but he didn't know what to do as his ugly thoughts began swirling around his head.He didn't know how this woman got inside his room; he couldn't recall anything. Was there something that happened between them?"You're awake?" Ava asked in a sleepy tone. She rubbed her eyelids and gazed at Shawn. "You looked shocked; is there something wrong?""Nothing, um, by the way, what are you doing in my room?" Shawn asked while holding a bolster."Your room?" Ava asked and looked around. "What am I doing here?" She suddenly stood up and walked towards Shawn, thinking about what happened last night. She couldn't even sleep because he kept snoring and squeezing her breasts.Shawn was surprised by what Ava did next. Her palm left a reddish mark on his skin
Shawn arrived at the front of the vast Forbidden Forest. He saw a placard nailed to a huge oak tree. It warned him to take care of the dangerous creatures such as creepers, which explode, skeletons that shoot arrows, zombies, and aggressive Endermen that might be strolling around.Without hesitation, Shawn began his journey to the forest. While walking, he glanced at the monochrome drawing Emma gave him before he left the capital. He started looking around for the thought that he might find what he was looking for.He found other plants such as nether wart, kelp, vines, poppy, azure bluet, oxeye daisy, rose bush, and tulips, but he hadn't seen any clover plants yet. He also encountered some slimes leaping around, but they weren't dangerous at all because of their low levels."It's too early to give up," Shawn reminded himself, and he continued his journey. He didn't expect that it would be so difficult to get one.As he walked in the woodland, he saw an orc approaching him from the bu
It wasn't easy to take the clover leaves since there were many orcs watching over them. Without hesitation, Shawn did his best to help Alice kill them because it was his task after all, and he also wanted to become stronger.It was quite convenient to have the equipment he borrowed from the adventurer's guild, as he used it to attack the orcs and defend himself. He wasn't hurt due to his silvery-white armor, and he could fight the orcs using his sword.“Are you okay?" Alice asked and slashed an orc that growled behind her. She had fully mastered her skills as a superspeed, and killing those orcs was just a piece of cake for her, unlike Shawn, who was already struggling. “Do you need help? It seems like you can't defeat an average-size orc.""What? An average-size? How can you say that if it is the largest orc I have ever seen?" Shawn asked, his eyes widening in disbelief.Alice laughed at him mockingly and sneered, "Please step back, mister strange. Let me handle this ogre before it c
