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
