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
Stranded Stranger Chapter Twenty-six: Demon Lord
"Good grief, you're both here. I thought you were taken by the demon lord already," Shawn said in relief, seeing Ava and the old man safe and sound."Are you done with them already?" Ava asked. She couldn't believe that Shawn defeated those demons so fast, and he didn't even get a scratch, but instead a smile on his face that sent her goosebumps.Shawn nodded in reply, then he wondered why they stopped in front of a huge steel door. They looked exhausted, or more likely to be hesitating to enter it. He didn't know what was inside, but it seemed like something strong was living there."How could you eliminate those demons so fast?" the old man asked. "There's not even a single sweat on your face. Did you really fight them?""Yeah, of course," Shawn replied. "I couldn't use my communication skills with those demons because they were controlled by dark magic. I also couldn't use exorcism skills, so I decided to burn them.""You burned them? Do you mean you can use fire magic?" Ava asked
Stranded Stranger Chapter Twenty-seven: Boris
The demon lord was lying on the ground when he slowly transformed himself into a dragon. The beast inside him was awakened by the blood that was oozing from his chest. His skin turned red; he grew tough wings on his back and a long tail full of thorns.His handsome face had gone thicker and darker, and his short blonde hair was nowhere to be found. He slowly rose up from the dead, ready to swallow everyone who'd blocked his way.In this world, demons were the toughest and creepiest creatures feared by everyone. Even death couldn't take them easily. As what happened to the demon lord, even if he was pierced by a holy sword, he still had the capability to transform into a dragon.Shawn thought that it was the end of their battle, but in truth, it was just the beginning. The demonic dragon has come back, as he was about to spread fear and terror once again. "I returned as I promised." The demonic dragon laughed jarringly as it flew outside the dungeon without giving them a glance. He se
Stranded Stranger Chapter Twenty-eight: Shawn Pendragon
Everyone became busy doing their own thing, preparing for what could happen, while Shawn was still inside the adventurers' guild. There was a profound silence prevailing inside the room, except for the ticking of the wall clock. Sitting on the counter, Shawn knew that staying calm in emergency situations was the first thing to do because panic wouldn't allow him to think of a better solution to the problem. Shawn only had half an hour to plan how to defeat the demon lord, and his time was decreasing with every second and every breath he took. He could hear the heavy footsteps of a huge chaos taking its path towards them. "Brother, aren't you going outside?" Ash asked, glimpsing through the door from outside. He noticed that Shawn seemed to be planning something, so he walked towards him. "They are waiting for you." "I guess I really have to fight that dragon by myself." Shawn stood up immediately. He was about to go out when he remembered something was lost. "My sword, where is it?
Stranded Stranger Chapter Twenty-nine: New Life
Ava woke up in a new room. The bed where she was lying was canopied with colorful, flowery sheets. The morning dewdrops outside were visible from the window of her bedroom.Ava wondered if it rained yesterday, although she had no idea where she was or what happened. All she could remember was herself carrying a drunk man back to their house when something like a portal suddenly appeared, and a very strong force sucked them in, causing her to lose consciousness.When she woke up, Ava wasn't automatically aware that she was in someone else's room. She only realized that something was wrong when she left her bed, walked towards the door, and saw her own feet. She was shocked to see that the colors of her toenails had changed, and they became purple though she haven't applied any cosmetics on her nails before."Wait, what? Am I dreaming?" Ava couldn't believe what she was seeing: her hands, her clothes, and her body weren't like this before. She was even more surprised when she saw her ow

Chapter Sixty-one: The Revelation
Planinkins, also known as Aethermites, are thumb-sized creatures, but their size doesn't account for their massive cosmic powers. They have purplish skin and deep, one eye that resembled miniature galaxies. They were often misidentified as little cyclops. Each Planinkin has semi-transparent wings that allow them to fly in space. They were so powerful and could change their appearance anytime they wanted. However, they weren't allowed to enter any planets, as it was against their rules. They could only watch humans and monsters from a distance, wondering what it felt like to live inside an orb, especially in the planet called Earth where intelligent creatures reside. "Oh no! This couldn't be happening!" Nayari, one of the Planinkins, screamed when she saw two planets moving in the same axis and they were about to collide. The other Planinkins flew towards her to see what happened. Their eyes turned wide after seeing the two planets moving in the same axis against each other. They ha
Chapter Sixty: Advanced Monsters
The huge black dragon landed in the next city, where giant monsters were waiting. The six heroes immediately went to work to rescue the people. It was another intense battle where Alice could have ended her life. "Let's set this world on fire!" Leo exclaimed, throwing fireballs at the monsters. The monsters started screaming in pain as their bodies got burned. They struggled, trying to shake the fire off their bodies, but instead made it spread even more until they fell to the ground and died. Florence, on the other hand, had been thinking why the old man was so familiar, like she had met him before. He remembered someone as he watched him fight those monsters. An old friend. "He couldn't be him. Isaac couldn't have gotten this old too soon. Even Leo isn't that old yet. I must have mistaken it," Florence said to himself. "Are you alright?" Alice asked, noticing her elf friend behaved like he was lost in thought. "Um, yeah, I am," Florence replied. He saw the monsters coming towa
Chapter Fifty-nine: A Different Story
"Where is the old man?" Shawn asked when he noticed that Oregon didn't show up during their battle against the monsters. There were supposed to be seven heroes who saved the world from destruction, but there were only six of them since he didn't show up. "He probably hid somewhere where those media workers couldn't find him, take a picture, or record a video of him fighting against monsters. You already know that old man; he doesn't like attention and loves to do things without external validation," Ava explained. Shawn whistled using his fingers to call the dragon that immediately landed. Everyone was surprised how he could control such a huge dragon, but he didn't mind them. "Thank you so much for saving us! Please come back!" The people shouted at them for giving them hope during the monster outbreak. "Let's go, guys!" Shawn shouted, and his friends immediately ran towards him. Their mission in this place was over, but they knew that there were still a lot of places and people
Chapter Fifty-eight: Breakthrough
"You shouldn't have done that, Ash!" Ava scolded her little brother. "I don't know what could happen to you if Shawn didn't come to save you. You already knew that—" Ava didn't finish her words when Ash hugged her and apologized, "I'm sorry, sister. I didn't mean to make you worried. I should have been more careful." "It's fine. It already happened; just don't make the same mistake again, okay?" Ava said, patting her brother's head. "Okay," Ash replied. He used wind magic to fly to the second floor of the school building in front of the gate. At this height, he could see the monsters coming with his little telescope. Leo followed Ash to the second floor, while Shawn, Alice, and Ava stood at the gate. They had temporarily defeated the monsters near the school, but they knew that another wave of monsters was about to arrive. They need to protect this place no matter what happens because it contains a lot of refugees in there. It became the citizens' evacuation center. Meanwhile
Chapter Fifty-seven: Chaos
With everyone's cooperation, the six heroes successfully defeated the enemy dragons. However, the huge red ants were waiting for them below, and they couldn't find a safe place to land because in every portion of the planet, there were monsters waiting, waiting for food. "Guys, I have an idea," Shawn said, informing his friends. "Let's play it safe and attack those monsters from a distance. We don't really have to get close to them." "How would you do that?" Ava asked. "Why would I put my skills to no use? Only magicians can attack from a range, and we are not magicians." "Just leave the work to us, Ava," Leo said, wiping his reddish hair from his face as he prepared to show off. "I'll burn all those monsters asses! Watch me!" "And me!" Ash interjected, using the little telescope he brought with him to see the monsters from a distance, but what he saw was his angry sister who's face told him to cut the crap since he couldn't control his magic yet. "Don't underestimate the po
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
