Stranded Stranger Chapter Seventeen: Dungeon
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
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

Chapter Fifty-five: Mysterious Island
The island of Eldermoor was known as the home of many dangerous creatures, such as ghosts, werewolves, vampires, phantoms, zombies, and many more. These creatures were said to be fed by human flesh and blood. They looked like normal humans during the day, but as the night comes, they come back to their true forms to hunt for food.Shawn woke up when he heard some weird sounds coming from outside. When he was young, his parents used to tell him stories about horrifying creatures to scare him so that he would sleep, but as he got older, he started to realize they were not true, but the day came that he got reincarnated in another world, and that was when he started believing things he thought to be impossible.The hairs on the back of his neck stood up when he heard someone or something knocking on the door of his room. At first, Shawn was hesitant to open it, thinking that it was one of those ghosts or vampires that come out at night to look for their victims, but when he heard Cynthia
Chapter Fifty-four: Journey to Eldermoor
After passing through the forbidden forest, Shawn and Cynthia reached the sea. Both of them knew that there were many dangerous creatures in the water, but they had to reach the island of Eldermoor to save the elves.Cynthia stared at the calm sea with sparkling eyes. She hadn't seen such a beautiful view before; the water was tempting, and she wanted to take a dip even just for a while, but she also knew that they didn't have much time left. She looked at Shawn, as if she were begging him."I know what you're trying to say, Cynthia, but we don't have much time left. We have to get to Eldermoor as soon as possible," Shawn said."I know, master, but can't I take a bath even just for a while, please?" Cynthia pleaded."Okay, I'll let you take a bath, but don't go further, okay? We don't know what creatures are living in this sea yet, so it's better to be careful," Shawn replied.Cynthia suddenly hugged Shawn. "Thank you so much, master." She immediately removed her clothes."Hey, what a
Chapter Fifty-three: Give Me A Break
Shawn and Cynthia discovered a mysterious cave in the forest. They stopped there to take a break and just continue their journey tomorrow. In the middle of the night, Shawn woke up when he heard some heavy footsteps going towards them. He knew it wasn't something they could ignore, so he woke up Cynthia and told her to get ready for whatever it was.Suddenly, a hungry roar broke the silence of the forest. Cynthia and Shawn stood up and looked around as the roar grew louder and closer. A monstrous creature with three heads came out—a lion, a serpent, and a goat."Master... What is that thing?" Cynthia asked, her eyes widened and her voice trembled. "I haven't seen such a disgusting creature before. Is it dangerous?""It's a chimera," Shawn replied, gripping his sword tightly just in case it would suddenly attack them. "It's not just dangerous; it's very dangerous."Shawn noticed a red thing attached to the chimera's leg. It was similar with the ring he saw on that huge goblin, the magi
Chapter Fifty-two: Adventure Starts Now
After weeks and weeks of training, Cynthia finally mastered different kinds of magic. She grew up a lot with Shawn's guidance. Shawn knew it was finally time for the real adventure, so he told Cynthia to prepare."Yes, master." Cynthia nodded.Shawn and Cynthia started their journey to the forbidden forest full of dangerous monsters. As they continued walking, they encountered goblins that were hiding in the bushes. Just as they finished them, a huge goblin appeared. It was several times larger than a king goblin.The earth was shaking as it walked towards them, ready to strip their bodies into pieces and eat them like food. It glared at them; its eyes were red, full of bloodlust."That's pretty big for an ordinary goblin. I haven't encountered such a huge goblin before," Cynthia said."It's just a goblin though," Shawn replied, reminding Cynthia of the training she went through. "If you can't survive here, then who will save your fellow elves?"Shawn was right, Cynthia thought. Nobod
Chapter Fifty-one: Training the Elf
The truth was, Cynthia couldn't really look through Shawn's status, and she went to the dungeon to level up as she wanted to become a warrior to save her fellow elves from the slavery of humans. But now that she found someone stronger than an S-class dragon, she wanted to become his apprentice."What a lively place," Shawn said as they reached the town where many people were having errands, selling and buying fresh vegetables and fruit, and gossiping about the dangerous roaming monsters.A few moments of walking around, they saw a tavern ahead, so they dropped by. Shawn ordered some food and beer, while Cynthia just sits there looking at him with so much admiration flickering in her eyes."Here's your order, sir." The waitress put a wooden cup of beer and a plate of steak and rice on the table."Am I just dreaming?" Shawn asked himself as he bit the steak. "But this food tastes so delicious to be just a dream.""Ahem!" Cynthia faked a cough."Oh!" Shawn was surprised to see that Cynth
Chapter Fifty: A New Friend
In the middle of the night, Shawn couldn't fall asleep, thinking about his parents. He slowly stood up from his bed and continued inside the kitchen to drink some water. As he opened the wardrobe to get a glass, a strong force pulled him inside. He felt like the world was spinning around until he lost consciousness."Where am I again?" Shawn asked as he opened his eyes and found himself in a dark place. The lights suddenly turned on and he realized he was inside a dungeon."What is this?" Shawn whispered as a system appeared in front of him, something similar to a game he used to play. "Am I inside a game?"Shawn scrolled through the screen and saw a logout button. He tapped it several times, expecting to get back, but nothing happened. He wondered if there was a bug because he couldn't log out. There was nothing else he could do if he couldn't go back to his world, so he just gathered himself up and started his journey.Shawn looked at his hands and noticed that his appearance had ch
Chapter Forty-nine: Disappearance
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.
Chapter Forty-eight: Demonic Possession
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
Chapter Forty-seven: Shindig
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
