If it weren't for the Land of Dusk, Shawn would never marry an ugly orc. But that was the only way to save their kingdom from those monsters.

He knew it could ruin his relationship with Ava, but he could do nothing—he was forced to do it after all, even if it was against his will. Besides, he didn't know what could have happened to him if he refused King Orc's offer.

Shawn hurriedly got inside the adventurer's guild. He wasn't thinking about the hundred gold coins anymore; all he wanted was to explain everything to Ava, but she wasn't there.

The adventurers were drinking as he arrived. Most of them were unaware of the whole story. All they knew was that they won, not the reason why the monsters retreated, especially the orcs.

"What did you do to my apprentice, Shawn?" the old man asked as he walked towards him.

"I,I,I," Shawn stuttered, seeing the old man's glare at him. "Please let me explain everything."

"No," the old man replied. His fierce stare gradually turned into calm, amazeme

Determined, she chose to press on until she stood in front of a forest. Without a map, she had no idea where she was heading.A moment later, a mysterious figure emerged from the shadows, approaching Ava with silent steps. The person remained elusive, concealed by a hood. It came closer, until Ava recognized who it was."Allen?" Ava muttered. "What are you doing here in the Spade Kingdom? Shouldn't you be in the Forbidden Forest?" Ava asked curiously."It's a long story, Ava. But would you like to come with me to my house, have some coffee, and talk about this matter?" Allen invited politely."I'm sorry, Allen, but—" Ava wanted to refuse, but she didn't manage to finish her sentence when Allen interrupted."No, i

    As he opened his eyes, Shawn found himself beside Ava, lying without a shirt. He didn't know how he got his hands inside Ava's undershirt. He had been squeezing her breasts, and he thought he was just dreaming all night."Let it go, let it go!" Shawn screamed in his mind, but his hand wouldn't follow his orders. He was trying to resist the temptation, but the size and softness wouldn't let him escape.Slowly, Ava opened her eyes when she felt something was wrong. Her face grew red after seeing Shawn's hands squeeze her breasts. "What—what are you doing?" She tried to ask in a normal tone."I'm sorry, Ava." But before Shawn could say those words, Ava had already stood up, and again, the shape of her palm left a reddish mark on his face as she slapped him without saying anything. It created a loud blast that pierced the silence of the morning."You pervert! Never ever sleep beside me again!" Ava shouted before she walked out of the room. What a fantastic morning he had given her.Shawn

  • Stranded Stranger   Chapter Fifteen: Looking for Answers

    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

  • 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

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

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.

    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."

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

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

    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

    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

    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

    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
