"You lied to us?" Francis shouted after recovering from his shock. He pushed aside Luca and Alexander, who were on top of him, and ignored his sore bottom as he struggled to stand.

"You set us up?" Alexander asked as he stretched out his hand to Luca. This woman was really strong; she could push him until Alexander fell on his two friends!

“Explain it to us. Are you part of them?" Luca shouted angrily after he managed to stand up with the help of Alexander.

The three young men asked the woman to explain what the big, bald bandit meant so they would not misunderstand.

The eight male bandits prepared to fight with them using their favorite weapons that had helped them injure and kill their targets.

“You guys are so talkative!” The woman with red and purple shoulder-length hair clicked her tongue with a lazy gaze at the three young men. “I don't care if you believe me or what those ugly, smelly bandits say.”

    The woman with red and purple shoulder-length hair, whose appearance resembled a bandit and carrying a sword longer than her body, ran fast towards Francis and Luca.The three young men paid her three gold coins to save their lives from the bandits. The woman would be filled with feelings of regret for the rest of her life if her client died at the hands of bandits.Francis was shocked when the woman with a small body and moving swiftly kicked the thin and tall bandit who was fighting with him until the bandit fell to the ground along with his spear, which flew out of Francis' hand.The dark blond-haired man ignored his palm, which was bleeding profusely. Francis rushed to attack the bandit, who was still lying on the ground. With agility and enthusiasm, Francis also dodged the sharp spear's attack.The woman with black and purple shoulder-length hair observed Francis and Luca's fight against the bandits. Even though they were novices, they have only participated in dragon hunting a f

    “What’s wrong, Alex?” Francis came out of the inn because he and Luca didn’t find Alexander beside them. “Why did you stop in front of the door? You’re blocking them from entering.” Francis pushed Alexander until they reached the cashier’s counter.Francis was confused about why Alexander didn’t rebel, but he didn’t have time to interrogate Alexander.They had to compete with the hunters and magic hunters behind them to get a room. Then they would have dinner; Francis couldn’t wait to guard the empty chair at the end of the room before someone else took it.“I pay all.” Alexander stopped Luca, who was about to take five gold coins to pay for the rent of a large room with three beds and a bathroom.It was fortunate that Alexander had money. Otherwise, they would have lived in the forest and eaten fish, deer, rabbits, or frogs to satisfy their hunger.Alexander wanted to yell at whoever gave him the hero system; why didn’t the system give him a task when they hadn’t paid the hunters and

    When he heard the unknown rooster crowing, Alexander immediately woke up from his sleep. He couldn't sleep soundly; he woke up several times.Alexander was busy thinking about what food they would cook for the people of Licore.Luca slowly opened his eyes at the sound of the bathroom door opening and found Alexander entering.Meanwhile, Francis woke up because of Alexander's footsteps. He had become accustomed to sharpening his sense of hearing when on an adventure with his sword teacher and school friends."Why is Alex up so early?" Luca turned towards the bedroom window, which was slightly open for air to enter and exit. The sky was still dark, but the rooster was already crowing noisily, and many people were starting their activities.Their room was on the 3rd floor. That was why the sounds outside the inn could still be heard clearly.“He was so impatient to help them,” Francis said, picking up the blanket lying on the floor and wrapping himself in the dark brown blanket.“Let me

    They had entered the country of Licore, which had collapsed due to the devil's subordinate dragons.The beautiful Licore Country turned sinister overnight.Even though the devil's subordinate dragons could have destroyed the country in their first attack, they did not remove Licore from their list of countries to demolish.Buildings were destroyed, crops were devastated, people were famished, and the dead littered the ground.Licore Country resembled a ghost town.The odor of human corpses mingled with urine, feces, and bones—dozens of vultures perched on the building's edge, waiting for the humans to die. The sight halted Francis, Luca, and Alexander in their tracks.They had never visited a war-torn country before, so it was natural for them to want to forget why they were there.“Come on, guys.” Alexander increased his determination in his heart to help the people of Licore. Then he turned around when he didn't find his friends walking beside him.“Do you want to go back?” Alexande

    "You misunderstood us, Miss," Luca spoke calmly. He asked Francis not to let his emotions get the better of him, and then he asked Francis to ensure the cooking fire didn't go out.Alexander was in charge of moving the cooked onions and garlic to a plate. Then he waited for Luca, who walked towards the woman and watched Francis not move from his seat.“We understand that you are all hungry. Dragons have attacked this world for 17 days, and during that time, you have been expecting help from other countries.” Luca faced the woman, who he believed to be a hunter with sword skills.“Last night, my friend, Alexander, suddenly invited me and Francis to help you all. We made food for you and planted vegetables and wheat on your land. We are sorry that we can only do that because our money is limited, and there are only three of us.” Luca was very good at eliminating anger in someone’s heart.Francis called Luca a wise man who was good at taming others with the words that came out of his mou

    Alexander and Francis ran to find out who was screaming for help.It wasn't just one person; Alexander guessed four or five people because their screams could penetrate the sound of the rain and happened to have a sharp sense of hearing—a gift he got from the system.Luca didn't forget his backpack. He shook his head when his two friends forgot their backpacks. He took the initiative to carry his two friends' backpacks.Luca didn't want to leave the backpack made of dragon skin because it was a gift from Alexander and was very expensive.The three young men ran together through the rain. They looked right and left while sharpening their sense of hearing. The heavy rain blocked their vision.“I don’t hear anything anymore,” Francis shouted, ensuring his voice could overcome the sound of the rain and the thunder.They stood under a house whose roof had not collapsed. They took shelter for a moment from the rain that had left them soaked and cold. They were also afraid of being struck by

    “Take care of yourself from the dragons!” the cries of the people of Licore echoed everywhere. They were panicked and scared. They had the energy to walk and run, thanks to Luca's soup.“So many dragons,” Francis shouted to his two friends down there; they had no interest in standing next to him.“They’re scattering. As usual, all the countries are being attacked by dragons," said Francis.Francis could see the surroundings clearly, making him shake his head with sadness in his eyes.Licore was utterly destroyed. Only a few buildings survived the dragon’s rampage. No one knew if the residents of those buildings were still inside.Francis doubted the words of the hunters and magic hunters of Licore distributing the food. They said they had ensured everyone ate Luca’s soup, but the twelve girls did not get any food.If the fifty hunters and magic hunters of Licore really checked all the houses, they should have saved the twelve girls and ganged up on those two bastards.“I have to talk

    “Ouch.” Alexander and Luca winced in pain."I'm sorry, Luca." Alexander instantly stood up and sat next to Luca. The hurt in his back vanished immediately.“Luca.” Alexander checked Luca’s head, and he sighed in relief when he found no blood, but he couldn’t believe Luca’s head wasn’t injured because Luca’s head hit the wooden block.“Is your head okay?” Alexander touched the back of Luca’s head, and he glared at his hand, which was covered in blood. “Your head is bleeding. The rain makes your blood invisible.”Luca held his dizzy head. “I’m not okay.” He said honestly. He opened his eyes; he tried not to panic when his vision was blurry. He blinked his eyes several times. “Phew.” His vision had returned to normal.“I’m sorry, Luca. I didn’t realize the black dragon was after me.” Alexander was genuinely sorry. He almost had a heart attack watching his friend get hurt because of him. He didn’t want to lose the closest person to him in his current life.“You don’t need to apologize. Yo

    “Francis!” Alexander shouted, calling Francis. He spurred his legs to run faster until he and Francis were only five steps away.The small black dog chased Francis while barking. He looked furious at Francis.Alexander had never faced a fierce or angry dog and didn’t know how to handle a small dog.“Alex. Help me!” Francis ran towards a dead end alley, his eyes widening when he saw a green garbage can.Francis hurriedly climbed onto the garbage can and stood on it, ignoring the stench emanating from the pile of trash. Perhaps the garbage can was whole, causing people to place their garbage around it.“You can't touch me, little dog,” Francis said arrogantly.Francis laughed heartily as he watched the little black dog jump up and down and climb the trash pile just to bite Francis’s legs. He didn’t give up even though he knew he would fail because he had tiny legs.Alexander stopped in front of the alley. He stared at Francis blankly. His friend was so happy to see the little dog suffer

    Alexander and Francis stared at Luca in shock. Luca had already expressed his brilliant idea twice without telling them first. Luckily, they agreed with Luca.“I like Luca’s idea.” Francis nodded, and his gaze fell on Pamela. “Let us sell your donuts, Mrs. Baren. We’ve never traded before, but we’ll try to sell them all!”“Although we won’t be in this country for long, let us help you, Mr. and Mrs. Baren.” Alexander stared at Pamela and Jaceb, who were still in shock until they couldn’t respond to the three young men’s words.Francis and Luca stared at Alexander. They forgot the purpose of running away from their country without saying goodbye to their families."We will be in Natrana for three days, but we wanted to do something we have never done before. It just so happens that the three of us like assisting those in need," Luca said softly, his sweet smile melting the hearts of everyone he spoke to."We haven't repaid Alexander's kindness for paying our debt, buying us food, and bu

    As they stood in the alley, quite far from the family’s house, Luca told his two friends about his idea, and as he had expected, Alexander and Francis had the same thoughts as him.“We have to help the family so they can earn money. If they have money to eat, they won’t be tempted to borrow from that old man again,” Luca said.“This time, they were saved because Alexander heard Jaceb’s voice begging the fat old man not to kill his wife and son, but luck like that won’t come twice,” Francis said.After that, Francis and Luca looked at Alexander with questioning eyes.Alexander raised his eyebrows, wondering why his two friends gave him that look. Then he scratched his head and turned his eyes towards the lovely house across them.“How did you suddenly have such sharp hearing? Are you sure your ability just appeared suddenly?” Francis narrowed his eyes, suspicious of Alexander.“Ever since we went on an adventure looking for demons and their subordinate dragons, you often made me and Lu

    “You guys aren’t afraid of death, huh? Don’t you realize that you’re just kids?” The fat man glared at the three teenagers, who showed no fear at all.“Even though you’re hunters, you won’t be able to win against my men. Your abilities are only used to kill dragons. While my men fight humans, and you can’t estimate how many people have died at their hands.” The fat man said proudly.The ten men of the fat man smiled creepily. They were ready to gang up on the three teenagers until they were battered.“Don’t underestimate us, old man.” Francis smiled crookedly and held the hilt of his sword tightly.“We’ve faced bandits three times. Their bodies are muscular, and their faces are scary, just like yours.” Francis pointed his index finger at the fat man and his ten men with an arrogant face.“We won’t be able to fight them, idiot,” Luca whispered. He stood between Francis and Alexander. “They can fight without using weapons. Unlike us, who rely on weapons. They could just invite us to fig

    Alexander was shocked and blinked three times. He couldn’t believe the words written on the transparent blue window floating in front of him.It was the first time the system had asked him if he wanted to see his rewards and points.It was strange. Usually, the blue window would immediately show Alexander’s status, rewards, and punishments.Alexander stopped walking because he needed to think. He didn’t tell his two friends, who continued walking without realizing that Alexander was daydreaming with a severe face.“Yes, I want to see it,” Alexander said to the system, but the words written on the transparent blue screen floating in front of him didn’t change. “Didn’t the system understand what I said?”Alexander tilted his head. His decision to stop walking was correct because he seemed to be taking a long time to answer the system's questions."I want to see my rewards and status points," Alexander said confidently. Maybe the system wanted a specific answer.No. Alexander has not bee

    Francis and Luca stared at Alexander in confusion and stunned. How could Alexander know that Licore was robbed?The five young men carrying weapons turned to Alexander, Francis, and Luca. Then they walked out of the gold shop together. There was no gold there; they were too late to rob a country the dragon had destroyed.“Wow, wow. We didn’t know people were still alive in this country,” said the young man wearing a green shirt. He stood before his four friends as if he wanted to tell them he was the group's leader.“Aren’t you afraid to live in this country that has been destroyed? You better move to another country,” said the man wearing a black shirt.“I’m telling you because I know you don’t have any money. Before you leave, you should search every building for valuables, and then you can sell them at the second-hand shop.” The man in the green shirt lowered his voice, not wanting others to hear what he said.“We’re not from Licore, but we’re not like you who come to this country

    The physician had treated Francis and ten hunters from Licore. A few minutes after breakfast with bread, they decided to rush to the traditional market to buy cooking ingredients, vegetable seeds, fertilizer, gardening tools, and tents.They did not spend all the money. Two bags of gold coins were still intact to buy other necessities tomorrow or the day after.The thirty young men returned to Licore slowly because they were carrying heavy luggage. In the morning, there were no bandits, so they could walk leisurely until they arrived in their country.Everyone in Licore welcomed them happily, and they complained that their stomachs were rumbling.The thirty young men agreed not to tell the people of Licore what happened to them last night because it was a risk they had to bear as hunters who sold dragons at the Free Trade Union office.Luca handed the cooking ingredients to the women. He didn't need to tell the old and young women to save them because they were well aware that they ne

    The five senior hunters immediately attacked the eight bandits fiercely. They asked Luca and 22 hunters from Licore to hand over the bandits to them.Alexander grimaced, seeing many injured hunters of Licore. A magic hunter with healing abilities could only help a few people; his power was limited.Alexander looked straight ahead, and he found Francis and Luca. He couldn't see clearly what his two friends were doing because the fight between the five senior hunters and the eight bandits blocked his view. He hoped his two friends were okay.The fifteen hunters of Licore ignored the pain in their bodies and immediately surrounded Alexander, who was hugging his dragon skin backpack tightly. The woman with shoulder-length purple and red hair stood before Alexander with her hands on her hips.They watched the fight between the five senior hunters and the eight bandits in unison. Their numbers were not balanced, but the five senior hunters did not show any anxiety or complain; they actually

    No one heard Alexander’s scream. The sound of swords and spears clashing dominated the room.The bandit was dueling with the woman who entered through the window. The spear hunter and the magic hunter, guarding hundreds of gold coins with Alexander, were focused on watching the fight and ready to help the woman.“Hey, don’t you see the fire on the curtain?” Alexander looked at the spear hunter and the magic hunter and pointed his index finger at the burning curtain.“Tell everyone! I’ll put all the gold coins in my backpack.” Alexander put down six brown bags containing 600 gold coins. His hands didn’t shake because he was used to holding a lot of money.“Fire! Fire! This place is going to burn!”“We’re going to be roasted!”The spear hunter and the magic hunter shouted to make sure those fighting heard their voices, but Francis, Luca, and the 25 hunters from Licore could only turn their heads for a moment because the nine bandits would take advantage of their carelessness.“Damn it.”
