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?

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

She could feel the butterflies fluttering in her stomach as she thought about Shawn, who invited her to hang out after school.During their break, Ava had fun talking with Shawn about different things; he told her about his favorite song, food, color, TV show, etc. However, Ava didn't tell him anything about her; she was being cautious, for he might know her true identity.After looking for the most attractive places in their city over the internet, they eventually decided to visit the newest amusement park to take a glimpse and experience the thrill of riding a ferris wheel and rollercoaster.Ava also thought that it would be the best opportunity to learn new things about this world since there were so many things she couldn't understand.

His memories in another world were flashing back in his mind like a sequence of faded photographs, from the moment they met to the moment they parted in different ways.Shawn didn't expect that their story wouldn't end that way when he came back to this world. He really thought he was sent alone. He still remembered how they fought those dragons together and got wounded, as well as Ava's reaction every time she got annoyed.In his gray pajamas and black t-shirt with the face of an adorable kitten wearing a red headband on it, Shawn left his bed with a smile on his face and continued to the dining room.

Shawn didn't really care about it, but he was thankful to ha

After having a conversation with Alice about how she got there and her current identity as a girl named Bambie Lee, Shawn continued to Jefferson High School to attend his morning class, but as he entered the gate, he was shocked to see the situation.There was a huge commotion, or a chaos, as ferocious monsters, which were commonly seen in games and movies, were attacking the teachers and students inside the campus. Everyone was running back and forth, shouting for help and begging for their lives.Shawn knew he had to help them, but he was stuck on his feet and couldn't even move, as if he were traumatized by those experiences he had with the monsters who were now running towards him and ready to kill him.Fortunately, Ava arrived on time. She tapped Shawn's shoulder, and whispered to him to let her deal with those monsters while he assisted the injured. She was actually late for their morning class again.Ava dashed towards the monsters, slashing their heads one by one with her newl
Stranded Stranger Chapter Thirty-three: Breaking News
After finishing their food, Ava showed Shawn what she had learned. This time, she successfully cooked rice and chicken curry. They might not be perfect and as tasty as Shawn's cooking, but she did her best, so Shawn complimented Ava on her efforts."I can't do it without your guidance, Shawn." Ava smiled gracefully. "I'm so thankful that you teach me how to cook, and I'm feeling sorry that I've borrowed some of your precious time.""Don't worry about it, Ava. I'm just returning the favor. You've never let me alone when we were in your world, so I think it's my turn to help you from now on," Shawn replied, gazing at Ava's sparkling golden eyes with so much admiration.Outside, Charlotte had just arrived. She smelled something delicious coming from the kitchen. She wondered who was cooking there since she didn't know that her daughter didn't have class and her family wouldn't usually visit without informing her.As she entered the kitchen, Charlotte was surprised to see her daughter wit
Stranded Stranger Chapter Thirty-four: Reunion
The next day, Shawn decided to visit his one and only best friend, not to blame him for what he did but to apologize for his bad behavior instead, as he didn't want such a trivial thing to destroy their friendship, which he struggled to build for a very long time. He knew that understanding each other's struggles was crucial for every friendship to last longer.Before heading to Justin's house, Shawn asked for his parents' permission since he didn't want them to worry about him again as he did last time, especially because the number of monsters was increasing recently. He knew it wouldn't be easy or safe for him to stay outside.Shiela and Lyon allowed Shawn to go out but told him to be back as soon as possible if he didn't want to be slain by those monsters. Even though his parents had already warned him, Shawn wasn't that easily swayed since he had already faced those monsters before.Just after a while of getting outside of their house, Shawn already encountered those hungry zombi
Stranded Stranger Chapter Thirty-five: Hero's Comeback
Ava found out that her brother and the old man were staying at a boarding house and had to pay for monthly rent, which was why they needed money, and that was also the reason why they were doing some crime as they were about to hold up Shawn if they didn't recognize him."What?" Ava screamed in surprise. "How long have you been doing such a crime, and why would you even try to rob an innocent boy like Shawn?""Stay calm, Ava," Shawn reminded her kindly. "They didn't really hurt me. Besides, they even saved me from those zombies. I think they have some reasons to rob.""But still, even if they had reasons, it was still a crime, and they would be sent to jail if they got caught," Ava argued worriedly. "You can't just go outside and take people's purses and escape because you can use magic. Magic should be used to help people, not to cause trouble."The room suddenly became silent after Ava said those words. Ava seemed like a teacher lecturing her students about being a human, despite th
