Stranded Stranger Chapter Thirty-six: Mysterious Guy
Before leaving the house, Ava fixed everything. She washed their dishes, cleaned the table, and locked all the doors. She was glad that she could spend some time with her brother and the old man, despite their challenging situation."Don't you think Ava is kind of weird?" The old man asked, sitting on the porch with Ash and Shawn. "What I mean is, she had never been this caring before. She was always acting like she didn't care, but she has changed.""Yup, I noticed that too," Ash agreed."Perhaps because she already got used to her new life? She's actually a flexible girl, adaptive, and can survive in any environment," Shawn said. "People can change, so you don't have to worry too much.""I didn't expect her to get quickly influenced by the people around her, especially because she doesn't easily trust anyone. But I think it's convenient to be flexible," the old man replied. "It seems like she's enjoying her new life.""Why wouldn't she enjoy it, old man?" Ash interrupted. "She got e
Stranded Stranger Chapter Thirty-seven: Nightmares
As she lay down on her flowery-canopied bed, Ava couldn't fall asleep thinking about the mysterious guy she bumped into at that restaurant. That devilish smile wouldn't leave her mind, and she was afraid to close her eyes.There was no one else to talk with—Charlotte was already asleep in her room, and the silence was deafening. Ava grasped her aching head as if it were about to burst. She knew she was going crazy with all these things, but then she remembered Shawn."Hello, Ava?" Shawn asked energetically. "Why did you call this late? Is there something wrong?""I'm sorry for bothering you, Shawn. I just can't fall asleep. I'm scared to close my eyes. That mysterious man is giving me nightmares," Ava replied."Oh! That's really bad, isn't it?" Shawn asked. "Would you like me to come over and sleep with you?"Shawn sounded like a flirtatious guy, but he actually didn't know how he could say those words, like it was so easy, though he knew that Ava's house was quite far away from his,
Stranded Stranger Chapter Thirty-eight: Ogres
After Ava and Shawn had their coffee and talked about flirty things, such as getting married and having twenty children, Ava checked their food storage and was shocked to find out that it was empty. So, she decided to go out to buy some ingredients for cooking and to look for something she didn't have."Would you mind if I go with you?" Shawn asked politely, standing up from the chair. "There are many handsome guys out there who could take you from me; they are more dangerous than monsters and zombies, so it might not be safe for you to travel alone.""What have you eaten, Shawn? Why is your strange personality coming back?" Ava became curious, though she was just trying to be sarcastic.Shawn pleaded, "I'm serious. Can you please let me go with you?" He didn't want Ava to go alone because, aside from those handsome guys, there were so many dangerous creatures outside."You decide if you want to go with me. I'm of age to go alone and protect myself, though," Ava replied. "Are you sure
Stranded Stranger Chapter Thirty-nine: Heroic Acts
While having lunch, Shawn, Charlotte, and Ava felt like there was an earthquake, as the ground was shaking and the cutlery was rattling. They heard heavy steps followed by the sounds of police cars, ambulances, and emergency signals, telling them something was wrong."Wait here, guys. I'll check what's happening outside," Charlotte said as she stood up and swiftly went outside. Her eyes turned wide, seeing a giant, ugly creature looking at her and stretching its hand towards her."No!" Charlotte screamed in fear as her knees started shaking. She was so terrified that she was on the brink of peeing in her pants that the giant's hand was about to crush her."Is that Charlotte?" Shawn inquired when he heard a scream coming from outside. "Let's go, Ava. Something might have happened to your mother."Ava and Shawn stood up. They hurriedly went outside the house and saw Charlotte trembling in fear. They were also shocked to see a giant creature with an ugly face, reddish eyes, and pointed t
Stranded Stranger Chapter Forty: Happy Together
As he opened his eyes, Shawn found himself lying on someone's bed without a shirt. His eyes turned wide, and his face became red after seeing Ava lying beside him, cuddling him like a normal husband and wife. He wondered if it was all a dream, but it wasn't."Wha—what am I doing here?" Shawn screamed.Shawn was so drunk last night that he forgot to go home, despite the truth that his parents might be worried about him. He enjoyed drinking and talking with them so much that he didn't notice that it was already midnight. Then he couldn't remember what happened next or how he got inside Ava's room.What terrified him more was the thought that something else could have happened between him and Ava while they were both drunk. Shawn couldn't help but worry as he hurriedly ran outside without a shirt."Where are you going, brother?" Ash asked, but Shawn didn't notice him. "Wait! You forgot to wear your shirt!"During their breakfast with Charlotte, Alice, Ash, and the old man, Shawn felt so
Stranded Stranger Chapter Forty-one: Something Important
Inside the living room, Shiela and Lyon were having a conversation about the giants that attacked their city, as well as those heroes who came to save the people. The television, the radio, the newspaper, and social media platforms' content were all about the same thing."You hear that, darling?" Shiela asked when she heard Shawn screaming from inside his room. "Something might be happening to our son. Let me check on him."Shiela stood up and walked towards Shawn's room, while Lyon stayed on the couch, drinking his coffee. As she opened the door, Shiela's eyes turned wide to find her son lying on his bed while trying to smother himself with his pillow."Shawn, wake up! You're dreaming!" Shiela shouted as she tried to take the pillow from Shawn, but he was too strong to let go, so she just shook his body to wake him up instead."Mom!" Shawn suddenly jolted up on his bed, awakened from his nightmares. He spread his arms around his mother, hugging her tightly, thankful that it was all j
Stranded Stranger Chapter Forty-two: Hidden Portals
Ava and the old man appeared in a forest where nothing else could be heard except for the chirping of the birds and falling leaves, but that peace disappeared and was replaced by the loud sounds of monsters marching towards the city."It seems like you're right, master. Those monsters are coming from here," Ava said, hiding behind a huge tree with the old man while peeking at the monsters."Do you see that thing?" The old man pointed at the shining hole set in the bushes. "There are probably more than that.""What do you mean by 'more than that', master?" Ava asked curiously. "Are you telling me that there are other portals in this forest?""I'm not so sure, but seeing so many monsters coming out of this forest, it's possible that there are more than this. It's dangerous if they see us, so we better go back before they could sense our presence. We can only fight them by using heavy damage equipment, and I'm still trying to find out where I can buy those equipments," the old man said.
Stranded Stranger Chapter Forty-three: Overpowered
Shawn, Alice, Ava, Ash, and the old man arrived right in front of the forest, where those portals were located. This place looked familiar to them, as if they had seen this forest before. Then they remembered the forbidden forest in another world."It's impossible that not only us but also places that belonged to our world are also transported here. It could take a lot of power to transport an entire place to another world, and there could be a lot of side effects as well," the old man said."Our enemy or enemies must be very powerful, like a god who could create an entire planet," Alice added."But we don't have time to worry about that now," Shawn said. "Let us do what we can and stop worrying about things that are out of our control. Let's do our best until the rest!""Shawn is right," Ava agreed. "We are sent into this world together with these monsters, so it's our responsibility to restore peace and bring things back to where they were supposed to be.""You surely have big burde

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
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
