Shawn and Ash were heading to the Forbidden Forest when they met some adventurers who were also going there. Their party was composed of three men and two women. Shawn could identify their roles by just looking at them.Usually, in order to be called a party, a group must have a magician, a guardian, a healer, an assassin, and a tamer. The most important role is that of the healer, someone who heals his or her wounded members, which is necessary for their survival.But when it comes to assault, an assassin is much needed—someone who can move swiftly and inflict heavy damage against the enemy without getting noticed or caught.The protector of the party is known as the guardian. He possessed heavy armor, so one must be strong enough to carry on the equipment in order to be called a guardian.Magicians are commonly known as the most intelligent of the party. They use magic and mana to deal damage in either chanting or magic circle ways. Magicians are the most common people in this world
It had already been a week since Shawn started to look for the demon lord, but he hadn't made any progress at all. The Diamond Kingdom itself was huge, so it was possible that one of these creatures had an idea that would give him a clue.Some creatures told him to stop looking for the demon lord because he would be attacking them after all. They told him that he should be prepared for what could happen instead.However, those words didn't discourage Shawn; they even fueled his interest in continuing what he was doing. He knew that once the demon lord transformed into a dragon known as Boris, it would become invincible.Although he wasn't there when the tragedy happened to have killed Ava's parents, Shawn didn't have a plan to witness the same event again. He didn't want to hear the scream of every creature, asking for help, but he could do nothing.Ava noticed that Shawn disappeared every day without telling her where he was going. She didn't want to act like a mother to him, watchin
Cyrene, the Green Dragon, brought Shawn to its nest and laid him there beside her eggs, treating him like a baby as it tried its best to cover the wound on his back. It seemed like they had developed a deeper connection."I'm sorry for what happened, my dear guest," Cyrene apologized in a worried tone, although Shawn was the only one who could hear her due to his communication capability."Don't worry, Queen Cyrene. It was my fault that Ava suddenly appeared here; perhaps she scared your fellow dragons, and I should be the one to apologize," Shawn replied politely.Alice sighed with relief upon seeing Shawn. She was so worried that something might have happened to him. For sure, Ava would never forgive her if that happened. She slowly walked towards the green dragon's nest and asked if she could take Shawn with her.The dragon seemed to refuse. She wasn't letting go of Shawn. He had already become her baby, until Shawn told Cyrene that it was okay and that Alice was his trusted friend
Ava had no idea that Shawn was planning to enter the dungeon in the Fire Kingdom. After what happened in Skyland, she realized that she shouldn't be so strict with the people around her.All she knew was that Shawn would never do something crazy, so she didn't want to cause him similar trouble again. She regretted it and blamed herself for his suffering.Meanwhile, Shawn wanted to grab the opportunity when nobody was trying to stop him; he didn't want anyone to get involved with his stupidity. It might sound stupid, but if he could save the kingdom from the upcoming danger, he wouldn't hesitate to do it.Along the way to the Fire Kingdom, Shawn met someone he didn't expect to meet. It was the old woman who looked creepy with her long, curly, black hair that spread around her shoulder.The landlady of a boarding house in the capital city of Owl. Her name was Jessica Marchant. Shawn wondered how she got there.Shawn chatted with Jessica. He learned from her that she decided to move to t
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
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
"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
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
