The following day, Xin, Leo, and even Leal picked Rafaela and me up and accompanied us to the territory of the Spriggan faction, where I could find Raiden. I wandered my eyes around the place as we walked toward the headquarters of the Spriggan faction. "How's your head, Leal?" Leo asked. "It feels like it's breaking apart; it's all thanks to you, you big imbecile." What caught my attention were the houses and buildings. All of them were built correctly and in good condition; some buildings were made of chiseled stones, and the people walking with us wore tunics and kirtles made of wool. However, it's quite apparent that there's only a handful of them compared to the other citizens of the other factions, where I could see people in every corner. Occasionally, there were some merchant's carriages passing down the brick road. This is the first time I've seen some since I arrived in this town! Are we sure we're still inside the infamous lawless town? I turned my gaze to
We walked through the gray concrete pathway leading to the mansion at the very center of the huge place surrounded by decorative shaped bushes and maple trees lining beside the road.However, behind those lines of trees and bushes were huge plain grasslands all the way to the towering fences from afar.Just like what I saw outside, the huge white mansion became a lot clearer now that we were already near it.From our location, the mansion looked incredibly gargantuan. It's the first time I've seen a huge mansion in my entire life.The exterior of the white mansion was filled with chiseled stone pillars and wall decorations, giving it a sophisticated vibe.At the end of the road, there's the white fountain encircled by the roundabout that would lead to four pathways: the other two would lead to the side part of the mansion, the other one would lead to the gate where we came from, and the one in front of us would lead to the staircase towards the entrance of the mansion.Anabelle and Da
"Remember, this is for your sister," Mom told me the night after I came home from school. "I haven't got my salary, Mom. I can't buy some class b costumes," I said after kicking off my shoes and dropping my tired body on my bed. "You don't have to buy anything, Troy. I'll help you find one. Your sister will be glad to see you with her favorite cartoon cosplay," Mom said, smiling at me. "Alright, change your clothes. Dinner at seven," she added before exiting my room. My sister has a terminal illness. Doctors said her days were numbered; that's why my parents and I do everything just to make Crissy's life full of happiness. So that's why Mom and I created low-budget costumes. It wasn't that much, but we made sure Crissy would enjoy the little show I would present. I walked down the stairs and put my hand on my forehead while menacingly looking at Crissy, who was sitting and being fed by Dad. "I am the Demon Lord Troy Hercules! I have come with the grand quest of conquest! Filthy

Now, we only have one of them, but sooner, we will have an army of unbeatable warriors!" One of them shouted while raising a thick blue book.I tried to move, but something was stopping me; perhaps it was the red circle lig
I managed to escape the maze of a building, which is the middle-aged club's hideout.Outside the castle-like infrastructure was a huge forest. I know that running into the unknown forest is a huge gamble, but after seeing the army of knights currently raiding the place and killing everyone who went on their way, this is the best place to run.The entire forest was shrouded in darkness due to the absence of the moon; the only light source I had was a small fire in my hand as I ran through the thick forest.I have so many questions in mind, but I need to escape from this place for now.However,Out of nowhere, a dagger sliced its way toward me. If I were not fast enough to jump out, the attack would probably slit my neck.Confirmed. Mana Perception Imitation successful!What the?!Confirmed. Mana Concealment Imitation is successful!I immediately activated my Fire magic to drive the attacker away, but to my surprise, it was not alone; the other attacked me from behind, leaving me almost
It's been three days since I arrived in this world. I managed to survive by eating fruits and hunting easy prey like deer and wild boars. Thanks to my hunting skills and a newly acquired fire magic. I was able to make a meal despite missing the taste of cooked rice and the softness of bread. When you have handy Fire magic at hand, every problem is solved. That would be an easy life if only I had at least seven hours of sleep at night, but no, thanks to the night prowlers of this forest, sleeping was not easy. After walking aimlessly, trying to find a way out of this thick and depressing forest, I finally reached the end of this ridiculously massive forest full of dangers in every direction. "Grab your weapons!" Is that a human voice? Finally, another human encounter who probably won't try to kill me on sight.I peeked my head from the bushes and found two merchant carriages currently being surrounded by a bunch of dark green-skinned midgets with annoying high-pitched laughs. De
I jumped out of the carriage and waved my hand towards Ross and Ann."See you around, Mister Troy!" Ross shouted as their carriage continued.I nodded and watched them disappear. Now, where do I start?Behind me was a huge white fountain in the middle of a roundabout where countless carriages were passing by. Based on what the adventurers I was in the carriage said, this kingdom is called Korra. And also, according to them, this kingdom was a free one. Everyone was welcome here to stay or to trade. This is the perfect place for me to start. I'm a little bit confused, but hopefully, later on, I will have my grasp on this world. Like the game I play, should I become a merchant or an adventurer? Earning money is my priority for survival.As I walked towards the other side of the road, I could hear the sound of the carriages and the voices of the people walking down the road with me.The people around me were wearing tunics or kirtles made of wool, and I couldn't help but feel uncomforta
"We are on sale! We are on sale! Two copper coins for two sticks of pork barbecue! Ladies and gentlemen, the pork we used as the main ingredient in this barbeque came from black boar. We assure you our barbeque is top quality and more delicious than others. Only on this day will you enjoy our delicious food at a cheaper price!"The currency here is divided into four kinds: copper, bronze, silver, and gold. Copper was the cheapest, while gold has the highest value, no dispute about it.I handed the man two copper coins. "Here."After eating, I decided to walk around a little more, and just like on Earth, there were some park performers scattered throughout the park, but most of them were not dancers or singers; rather, they were more on magic shows.They were doing party tricks using their elemental magic.Some performed a water dance in front of the children.Water Magic Imitated Skill Magic Acquired!Some did some juggling performances by propelling the balls into the air using thei
