Stranded Stranger Chapter Eighteen: Level One
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
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
