I stared at his face in deep confusion, trying to understand the meaning of his words.

"Severus? Who is he? Did he order you?" I asked.

"Severus," he repeated.

However, the answer still didn't provide any clues. Instead, her body slumped from my grasp. Slowly and silently, he fell to the damp ground of the forest, his last breath slipping out in a halting gasp.

I froze for a moment at this eerie scene, the realization of death so sudden and unexpected. He had gone, taking with him the mystery of Severus and whatever secrets he might have carried.

“Damn...”

I was forced to lift the lifeless body. Carefully, I decided to take his body back to camp. Our footprints are scratched in the damp earth, drawing dark marks on the earth that has witnessed this mysterious death.

"Call all the tribal leaders," I said to one of the tribesmen who saw me carrying this body.

“O-okay, General,” he replied before running away.

Soon the tribal leaders came from their camps. Rex left the medical camp after

    We all looked around and didn't find anything about Severus, until finally I saw a book lying around and half burned.I reached for the book, the pages almost fragile between my fingers. Emerging from there, traces of Severus. As it turns out, Severus is not a person's name, but rather a state in which a person is completely influenced by a spirit. This was a major discovery, and it felt as if all the clues we had been searching for all this time were gathered in the worn pages of this book.I stepped slowly towards them, the book held expectantly. “Wait, listen to what I found,” I said, my voice filled with excitement mixed with curiosity. I showed them the open pages of the book.Bil frowned, eyes trying to digest this new information.

    My steps continued to run as fast as I could, even though the dense forest tried to pull me into its embrace. The giant branches brushed the breeze as if to guide me through this secret corridor of nature. The humid air hugs every fiber, carrying the scent of wet earth and fresh leaves. Sunlight danced through the green leaves, marking the path that I hoped would lead me to Nola. However, the longer it goes on, the emptier it becomes. Every corner of the forest looks the same, and Nola's traces are increasingly eroded by this fierce nature. The strength within me began to run out, and my body collapsed in exhaustion, falling into the darkness of unconsciousness.A scream broke the silence of the forest, calling my name over and over again.

    In the continuing silence, I fell silent on the river bank. Time seemed to stop, and I don't know how long I sat there, immersed in endless daydreams and thoughts.Suddenly, I became aware of the changes in my surroundings. The sun had dimmed and set, leaving the sky dark. There was no trace of the moon or stars, only pitch blackness that approached every corner. The sky that was once full of sunlight had now become pitch black, and the forest that had been full of color was now drowning in mysterious shadows.The silence replaced the bright glare of the sun. Time seemed as if it had stopped, and I was trapped in daydreams and swirling thoughts. The deep feeling of loss for Nola is still etched in my mind.However, from within the dark forest, came a rhythmic sound. It was the winged wolf's enormous wings that stirred the wind, producing a soft roar that broke the silence. My heart was beating hard, ready to face whatever might happen. I straightened myself, hand moving to my sword, r

    The tribespeople proposed to arrest and imprison me so I couldn't help Nola. Shouts of protest filled the air, cries for justice growing louder."We have to lock him up in the tribe so he doesn't have any more contact with that evil wizard!" suggested one of them."Correct! That's right!" they exclaimed.“Please listen! I will not harm you!" I exclaimed.But sparks of fear and distrust had ignited the embers of their anger. Attacks came from all directions, rough hands tried to catch me, while angry gazes tried to penetrate my soul. I dodged with remaining reflexes, the strength I never considered necessary now became my defense. My body moved automatically, looking for an opening to escape their crush.Rex advanced with steady steps, his large and strong body became a wall protecting me from the angry mob.

    My body felt like it was shaking weakly from Nola's attack. I just hope there is still something from Nola that I love."Nola, please wake up! It’s me!" I exclaimed.However, her face still did not change, her red eyes flashed with darkness. Merciless, she launched her next attack, not leaving the slightest opening. I know, I can't possibly communicate with her now. I don't know how she got into my dream, but now I have to wake up quickly because I don't want to die here.A small light in the distance gave off a soft glow, becoming the only focal point in this gloomy dreamland.

  • Totem Warrior   My Dinner Attacks

    With careful steps, I returned to the forest and met my friends, the winged wolf and her son. However, when I arrived, the sight that greeted me was truly surprising. They were facing a creature much larger than what they usually faced. It was like a giant snake, but with three heads ready to attack."No!" I exclaimed when I saw the snake beast was about to bite my best friend's head.I immediately shot the snake's head while I was in the air, so that the snake didn't bite the winged wolf's head.Without hesitation, I immediately moved to help. The winged wolf and her son saw me coming and radiated new enthusiasm. We formed a formation, trying to find a gap between the giant heads.The battle was fought with quick and tactical attacks. I used my spear to pierce one of the heads, while the winged wolf attacked from behind, trying to disrupt the creature's movements. Her son circled the creature with nimble movements, trying to distract it.However, the monster was not an easy opponent.

    Finally, I fell asleep completely because of the drowsiness and fatigue that I couldn't fight anymore. As soon as I fell asleep, as I expected, I immediately entered the realm of my dream from yesterday. Everything is white and misty. However, when I walked, suddenly my dream world turned into a very dark forest.“Nola, I know you're here. Show yourself,” I said in a low voice while looking around.In my dark dreamscape, the forest surrounds me with a menacing presence. Giant trees towered high, covering the sky with dense thick leaves. The dim light fell on the leaves, creating mysterious shadows on the rugged ground."Are you here, Nola?" I muttered, my voice almost lost in the silence. My eyes glared at every shadow, looking for any trace of its existence. The atmosphere of the forest felt like it was holding its breath, still with tense anticipation.However, there was no answer except the sound of the wind passing through the old trees. This forest lies awake in empty silence, le

    Nola strangled my neck cruelly, her strength seemed to merge with the darkness of my dreamland. It felt like I almost died in my own dream world. My breath and energy began to fade, almost imperceptible. I'm sure, in the real world, my physical body is also feeling the same pain, as a result of this fierce battle. The distinctive scent of the forest, a mix of wet earth and fresh leaves, was overwhelming to my nose, creating an unexpected backdrop to our fight."Give it to me!" she exclaimed in a sharp tone, her voice piercing through my gloomy dreamscape. She strangled me harder and harder, making my breath even tighter. My legs struggled, trying to find the last strength to fight, but my strength was getting weaker."Nola..."Her red eyes made me feel like I had really lost Nola. The person in front of me didn't seem like her at all.

I stood by her side, my right hand holding hers tightly, conveying warmth and strength from every touch. But the healers want me outside, so I have to go out.“Arghhh!! It hurts!" she cried, the sound of the night's silence interrupted by a cry of pain. The healers forbade me from entering the room, and I could only hear moans and screams from behind the door. Anxiety swept through my heart, I couldn't wait to hear news about Nola's condition.Suddenly, a healer came out of the room and approached me.“My King, you can come in and accompany the Queen,” he said to me.I went into the room and held Nola's hand. Nola held my hand tightly, her eyes staring at the ceiling of the room filled with darkness. Deep moans escaped her lips every time a contraction hit.

    The Wedding

    That morning, the sunlight played games with the leaves, creating a magical blend of shade and golden glow. The fresh scent of flowers and herbs wafts in the clean air. It was as if nature itself was participating in celebrating this historic moment.The once simple assembly hall now sparkles in the splendor of natural jewels. Folded flags made of silk fluttered brilliantly, and decorations made from dried leaves and fresh flowers decorated every corner of the room. The light from the shining totems reflected the colors of life, implying a new awakening of their power.A moment before the sunlight reached its peak, I came to Nola who was getting ready in the preparation room.

"I won't give up, even though my body feels increasingly fragile. I won't let you be trapped in this darkness, Nola," I said with trembling determination. The words seemed to be a mantra, strengthening my will even when my body could barely support itself.The Shadow Diamond Totem, glowing with fading black light, spoke in a voice filled with urgency. "Ares Jones, we don't have much time. We have to hurry. Nola needs us.""The Grand Healing Totem's light is starting to fade," she added, her voice filled with determination but sounding fragile. "We have very limited time, Ares Jones."Deep anxiety welled up within me, making me realize that not only these totems were on the verge of destruction, but also Nola and my own life. However, I knew I couldn't give up. It is my mission to reunite Nola's divided soul. Des

    They Want Me To Be Their King

    The dream just disappeared, fading into endless darkness, and Nola seemed to disappear from my field of vision. I remained asleep, without dreams or images haunting my mind. My body responded deeply to rest, immersing me in an undefined dream world. Abstract images awaken and disappear over an immeasurable span of time. Nola, as if closely linked to the dream world, moved far from the horizon of my mind, disappearing in the surrounding darkness.As morning approached, the sun's rays seeped in through the thin curtains, painting streaks of light on the walls of the tent. I woke up slowly, thrown back into the real world. Rex stood tall by Nola's side, his eyes reflecting a deep worry, hinting at thoughts hovering over the worst possible possibilities."How is she doing, Rex?" I said in a voice that was still hoarse, following the footsteps of the dreamland I had just grasped.Rex looked at me sincerely, his eyes filled with deep worry. “She is still in a weak state; there are no signi

    The aroma of spices and herbs filled the air when my eyes opened. My body felt heavy as if all my energy had been drained. Gathering the power to repair The Shadow Diamond Totem was indeed a tiring task.Beside me, Mora stood with a concerned look. "Ares, you are lucky to have survived. But don't underestimate your strength. Don't forget your own limits," he said in a soft voice, hand holding out a healing potion. It tastes bitter but immediately brings freshness to my body."Thank you, Mora. It feels like I was born again," I said with a faint smile.Mora smiled softly. "You will be fine, Ares. The entire tribe is grateful for your sacrifice," she said, her eyes shining with respect."Where is The Shadow Diamond Totem?" I demanded, my curiosity peaked.Mora looked at me warmly. "She is resting in the Shadow Totem Tribe's temple. She needs time to recover her strength from all this."She went to tell the others that I had woken up.

    I'm Running Out of Energy

    In the chaotic battlefield, with magic explosions and echoing groans, I stood before The Shadow Diamond Totem who kept screaming. Her body swayed, trying to break free from the totem warrior's bindings, but her strength only depleted further.I realized that in a state like this, where she was still conscious and twitching wildly, it was very difficult for me to repair her totem codes. My concentration must be stronger than before. However, I can't watch her continue to suffer like this."Get some more blood, we need her weaker!" I ordered several nearby totem warriors. They responded swiftly, opening buckets of blood and meticulously watering The Shadow Diamond Totem. Every drop of blood entered her body, producing the desired effect.However, the woman's desperate screams still roared, filling the battlefield. Bil, with tense eyes, found his courage. "She has to pass out, Ares. We need you completely focused," he said, trying to calm himself and decide on that bold move. I nodded fi

    I'll Try to Fix It

    All the totem warriors, men and women who dared to face this darkness, had positioned themselves behind a tight wall of protection. Their eyes were full of determination and firmness as they waited for his next order. The air was thick with tension, and only the sound of the gentle breeze blowing through the leaves could be heard.Only I dared to stand in the middle of the open field, in front of The Shadow Diamond Totem that was almost formed. Swirls of wind and black smoke surrounded him, creating an extremely frightening effect, as if he was the dark embodiment of the subconscious.I was tireless, even though every fiber of my muscle felt tense, and my breath came in short gasps. With strong will, I transferred energy from myself to The Shadow Diamond Totem, seeking to fill the void within him with light and goodness.However, the longer I used my energy, the more tired I became. As weakness began to creep in, I could no longer hold back the cry of exhaustion. "Ahhh!" my cry trembl

    The three of us called all the tribe leaders for a meeting at the meeting camp. Tough and cool-headed steps are the price that must be paid to save Nola. Moonlight radiated softly in the night sky, giving this gathering a sacred feel.Toth Karan sat with a serious attitude, his deep eyes filled with deep worry. Rex, with his might, gave off an aura of confidence in every word he spoke. I, trying to hold tightly to my anxious heart, stood in front of the leaders who looked at me with hope."Leaders, we have important news we need to convey," I said in a calm but authoritative voice. "I have found information in the Totem Code Book that can help us save Nola and return the Shadow Diamond Totem to its original state."Mora looked at me curiously. "Original state? What do you mean Ares?"“In the past, this totem was a source of goodness for this tribe. However, there was damage that caused the totem code to have problems.

    After eating the beast meat provided by Toth Karan, the feeling of fatigue in my body began to recede. New energy flowed through me, reigniting my enthusiasm to complete this mission."Thank you, Toth Karan. This meat really helps me," I said gratefully to Toth Karan.Toth Karan nodded with a warm smile. "That's good to hear, leader. Is there anything else I can do for you?"I thought for a moment, then finally decided. "Toth Karan, I need some time alone. Can you leave me here so I can concentrate?"Toth Karan nodded in understanding. "Of course, Ares. I'll leave you alone. If you need me again, I'll be in my cabin."After Toth Karan left, I returned to focusing on the thick book open in front of me. Carefully, I touched the surface and started reading again with full concentration.As I delved deeper into the contents of the book, my spiritual eyes began to drift over the pages filled with runic writings and symbols. I began to feel the energy of the totem code book itself radiating
