I sat in the palace garden as I fed Nirvalen some apple slices.
"Hmm... they have the best quality apples, so what do you want to ask Zack?"
"Before that I'd like to hear how you made experiments like moulding yourself with titanic strength."
"From there? Well... I guess I don't have any more reasons to cover it up either."
Nirvalen paused for a moment before continuing.
"When I was a child I had a weak and petite body, every day I only lived in the family library without going out at all... one day my father told me about a world that was much different from the underworld and he said that my mother came from there too. For me who idolised the outside world that fact was more interesting than I could imagine, one day my father showed me a gate where he could transport himself to that world, my father and I went there once a week and we got to know someone named Lucia, Lucia was an amazing professor she made some formulas through her abilities and
The city of Eldar was a vast city not bound by any particular kingdom or country, standing at the Northern tip of the continent, the city had an area of 4 hectares to the left of the fallen empire if looking at the map of the entire human continent.This city is a free city for adventurers, the construction itself is taken from the adventurers' tax money once a year, everything is almost taken care of by the guild as the centre of government.Half of the territory is used as fields and the rest is the city, this is probably the largest city made by mankind so far, as we walked down the main street towards the guild some people happily greeted us."Are you guys from out of town? You'll definitely like living here... just make sure not to cause trouble as we have severe punishments for such people.""Alright, I'll keep that in mind.""Have a nice day."While the greeting was more of a warning, it didn't matter because it made the city feel mor
- Aria's point of view.A few days earlier.Our city was not like any other city, my hometown was called Eldar City, a neutral city with no kingdom or state to govern it.It stood on fertile land and almost all the people were adventurers. Including me, by the way my name is Aria an Archpriest who is proficient in healing as well as other supporting magic, because I am a little shy I don't talk much but if you talk to yourself (in your mind) you will find my name at the top with such abilities.I'm 15 years old, single, if you want to know my three sizes then I won't say, obviously my chest hasn't grown since I was 10 years old so everyone can imagine what I look like.I was wearing a priest's dress with the skirt part split down the side, long blonde hair with braids decorating the edges. I was such a pretty girl that if someone saw me they would stop what they were doing just to look at me.Even so.That's right.I was a shy person.I've always struggled to speak fluently with other
We bought clothes and foodstuffs that were all stored in the magic storage, all the money we used was cash that would later be shared back with our other companions.After the preparations were made, we met back in the centre of the city.***Just as the sun was setting we entered the Great Maze, just like outside, the sky on the first floor was already nighttime.The reason we went at this hour was to pass more easily to the second floor, this floor was filled with giant cockroaches that were difficult to handle because there were so many of them but if we went at night, it would be much easier."We're going," at Zeref's statement we nodded our heads in agreement.***- Zack's point of view.Current time."Cecilia use your breath.""Do it.""Jessica protect Cecilia and Caroline pull Jessica when she's done.""Okay."Cecilia opened her jaws to create a giant magic circle of fire, it took some time to activate because of that Jessica who was around her continued to protect her from the
The third and fourth floors were not much different from the previous floors, here we rested in a simple house that I made using my wood magic.Aria, Zeref, Theo and Victoria were silent with shocked faces."What magic is that?" Zeref shouted."Ordinary magic, it's nothing strange.""No, no, how could someone make a house in just a few seconds especially a permanent house."Wood magic is very useful when used for something like this. Victoria held her head."My head is spinning with this even when travelling far we still get a warm and cosy house."I just shrugged my shoulders in response, it's not like we always sleep at home sometimes we also try to sleep outside to get a feel of what being an adventurer is really like.The most important thing for tonight was that we had a place to rest.***The next morning Zeref's group mined a large crystal that was in the centre of the forest, its height equalled the height of a large hill."Sir, aren't they slowing us down?""Well... no proble
"What's wrong Zack?" the question came from Zeref who looked surprised."It's nothing, it's just that I think we're going to change our plans for the future.""What do you mean?""Instead of fighting I think we'll break forward to each subsequent floor.""Ah that's indeed a good plan, but with the current conditions?""We'll rest all day here."Caroline, Jessica and also Cecilia nodded their agreement, rushing would only lead to bad results, walking slowly was something that was needed now.***In the evening I went out to check on the situation, at the riverbank there sat Aria who was thinking about something.She rarely spoke but according to Zeref she was just a little shy."Yo, you haven't slept yet.""M-mask.""You're not used to people wearing masks? Sorry but I can't show my face."She shook her head then let me sit next to her. Every time I asked a question she would only answer with a
I was resting in my room when a knock on the door woke me up, from the sound I was sure that it was Jessica and Caroline.I opened the door and saw them looking very agitated, we had only been resting for half a day did something happen?Caroline explained."Theo and Zeref haven't returned since earlier, they said they wanted to go around but they haven't returned yet and the others are looking for them."It was definitely not a good idea to split up.I obviously had a bad feeling and invited the two to go together, the sun had turned into dusk when the three of us were exploring the city.***I met Cecilia and Victoria on the way who were both shaking their heads at their search. If my guess was correct then all of this was Aria's doing, the others and I rushed to the only place that hadn't been checked and there I saw the horrifying sight that Theo was lying on the ground, his armour shattered, his body dried up as if all the fluids
- Aria's perspective.In just a few days we have experienced many things, just like what the fortune teller we met the other day said, both Victoria and I found out something that changed our lives.Zeref and Theo had died and now we had to keep moving to the last floor of the maze, initially after their deaths I felt we would also die but obviously it was different than I imagined.In front of me the suspicious masked man easily dispelled the attacks coming at me, while his partner who was fighting with Victoria helped to eradicate the remaining monsters.Every day we were faced with life and death situations and over time both Victoria and I continued to get stronger, despite us being strong all thanks to this masked man. He was happy to look after us and protect us with his powers that were practically beyond belief.He used all the magic elements of this world and was even adept at using holy magic that could only be learnt when the person join
- Zack's point of view.On the 90th floor I mined starstone for the ninth time, just one more and this job would be done, considering how the battle went it made me a little nauseous.We endlessly fought and kept breaking through, if it were normal humans we'd be dead by the middle of the floor.I deposited the star stone where it belonged before descending the 91st and 92nd floors, we had wanted to rest on the 91st floor unfortunately it was just an arid area with smoke and a strong smell of sulphur and on the 92nd floor it was much better, this maze towered into the sky but the foundation alone made people shake their heads. All laws don't apply here.***Here there was a hot spring filled with slime monsters.Only by defeating them easily could we use the bath, I didn't bathe with them but instead used the pool on the other side.Cecilia and Jessica didn't mind if I saw their naked bodies but on the other hand I also couldn't forge
While we were fishing, Vestia sat hugging her knees with a gloomy expression.She was actually a princess from the skull island which was a little far from this island, it was only filled with undead and Vestia was the one who was appointed as the leader because she had a body that never decayed.But that's why the people or the zombies were a little jealous of her, even though she was dead she still carried her beautiful body until now so she was expelled from the island without her knowledge and buried here.As for the inscription on her gravestone, I think it's just a joke, at first they must have thought that no one would be able to enter the island forever."My fate is truly unfortunate."Let's ignore the undead who were lamenting their bleak lives, the sharks jumped into the water and we cut them down without difficulty as we now stood on a raft.About ten of them had been defeated which was the end of this mission."Well, I'm r
I had wanted to go to the tower of Babel but suddenly Jessica and Flora took me to the sea to fish."We heard that lake fish and sea fish taste different, that's why we wanted to try and prove it."They were doing this just for that apparently. I didn't mind so it was fine to occasionally go out with them like this. All this time we've been working, relaxing together is well deserved.I sent the hook into the sea and wondered what kind of fish I would get, sea fish have a variety of colours compared to freshwater fish but in terms of taste I couldn't tell the difference as to me they tasted rather similar.A few minutes passed and the first person to catch a fish was Flora.She smiled arrogantly, why does everyone always make that face when they get a fish, it's quite troublesome if someone is provoked by it."I won't be outdone either, I'll show you what I can do with the bait I have on my fishing rod," said Jessica.I had expected s
Today I visited the kingdom of Dersiva where the building is a modern European building entirely inhabited by the demon race.The reason I came here was all because of Yaeko's request who wanted to see how the demon race lived in this world. He was in front of me while running back and forth like a child."This is very delicious, two more please uncle.""Okay."She ate the food instead.Well, I don't mind following her from behind."I'M VeRy HaPpY.""Swallow your food first before talking."She did as I asked and then got some water for herself to drink. We were in the centre of the city as we glanced at the scene in front of us which was a tall fountain.Lilith who is the queen of this kingdom must be busy at this time of the day so I didn't want to disturb her and it was only at noon that we met her.***Yaeko and Lilith met each other and both shook hands before kissing each other on the left and right c
Even if I had thousands of lives fighting someone like him was impossible, my legs suddenly froze then shattered into a loss of balance, before I knew my head had been cut off.Damn, how to defeat a demon like this. This is different from Elise's Algorithm circle, this snow will stay active forever.While my body was trying to regain its senses, Evelyn attacked on her own, she gave a slash that managed to slightly wound her enemy's face.Her sword was knocked away while her face was grabbed by Lucy before being thrown to the ground until her head spun and she died.This demon is really very powerful.While I was trying to figure things out, Selena, Freya, Valentina, Francesca and Elise ambushed it from all directions.In no time at all they were all dismembered until a rain of blood pooled on the ground. I who saw it could only remain silent with a pale face.They weren't dead, it was just that the sight of them was truly horrifying.<
Inside the tower of Babel a black shadowy figure sat on a throne while holding a black book in her hand, she was Lucy, while in front of her knelt dozens of people consisting of various races including Evelyn's parents.The shadow laughed."Now that the embryo we made has finally been created, only one more thing needs to be done to make me perfect and with that I can use my perfect body and destroy the goddess realm with my hands... of course for you my followers I will give you the proper things as payment."Evelyn's father who had the position of leader came forward."So what should we do?""Simple, you must kill your children and offer their souls to me."The people in this tower had lost their sanity so this kind of thing did not burden their minds, they just knelt down and agreed to what the shadow said.Later that night, all the followers killed their children and sent their corpses into the tower of Babel but only one child co
With trembling hands I continued to attack the figure of my other self with both my swords, he parried them and then kicked me until I fell backwards.How much I forced myself to attack was how much I got in return."You want to surrender? If you surrender you won't have to fight anymore.""No, there are still many people out there waiting for me to solve this problem.""How stubborn, aren't you and I just fighting to relieve boredom? We don't need to involve ourselves in something dangerous.""At first I thought so too but now I want to save everyone more, sometimes the boredom I feel isn't so bad either... living peacefully and spending time together with many precious people, that's what I want now.""You've really changed my other self.""I hope you become like me too."I sheathed one of my swords and wielded only one other sword, so did the other me, we were silent for a while before stepping forward at the same time.
I entered the door that appeared in the Yggdrasil tree and saw how I was standing in a white room with nothing but a person standing in front of me with an all-white appearance, even his hair also had sparkling white hair.From an all-white area to a grassland area that was authentic to the colour green as well as the blue sky, everything had indeed changed except for the appearance of the young man in front of me, who was clearly the other me."You don't seem too surprised by me.""I was just wondering if I should defeat myself.""If you want to become a god then you must defeat me, the strongest enemy comes from yourself.""Then I will not hesitate.""That's what I want."I threw off my mask then darted forward, my other self wielded two swords that both had dragon cores, this tree duplicated me completely, the character, strength and also how it reacted were all very similar."Is that all you've got? I keep getting even stro
Before I was about to leave with Elise and Francesca, Selena had appeared in front of me with a soft, sad smile."I'll take you from here," just as she said that we had all disappeared and reappeared in an all-white area where there was only a giant tree."So this is the Yggdrasil tree," I said."This tree maintains the balance between worlds and even the universe, each branch represents the existence of each world that is guarded by goddesses and gods, if likened to this tree is a buffer while the pandalium is a time-turner to keep the world on track."While the three goddesses were just watching from behind I circled around the tree and found an engraving on the tree, although it was just a picture but I could understand what was there."It's a prophecy that has been there for a long time," Selena said and I held my head.It told how the Titans who previously lived to serve the gods and goddesses began to rebel and were sent to the human r
Above the floating island, Evelyn stared at the dragons in their human forms that were aimed at her.She grinned then pointed her hand until in an instant the wall protecting the city shattered into pieces producing the sound of shattering glass balls.He spread his arms in laughter."What a beautiful sight, before you killed my parents, now it's your turn to die."Several male dragons gritted their teeth before turning into dragons to dart towards Evelyn. It was just a suicidal move even so Evelyn did not want to kill them quickly, she would make them pay with a sense of despair and pain that exceeded a nightmare.In just seconds, the dragon that flew towards Evelyn fell as well as the other dragons below, from their eyes black blood flowed until they all screamed horribly simultaneously before falling asleep in a nightmare, no matter how much they wanted to escape they would not be able to do so.Each dragon could only accept their nightma
