The light of the full moon envelops the room with a magical glow, creating a magical and serene atmosphere. Moonlight gently kissed Nola's face which was tense with pain. 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 light of the full moon, even though it couldn't enter th
All of this started with the naughty moan of the woman I love in my bed. It was the night I should have celebrated my six years with her. However, I saw her on top of a man's body without a single piece of clothing. Her moans filled the room. She was moving up and down as if she was dancing on my shattered pride. I saw the man who was lying on my bed was her manager at work.“Meredith!” I shouted.Meredith only noticed me when I called her name. She frantically got off the damn man's body while covering her naked body with a blanket.“Damn it!” I shouted as I landed a fist on the man's face.“Ares! No!" Meredith shouted trying to separate us. She stood in the middle so I couldn't beat the bastard.“Sam! Go now!” Meredith cried, holding me up so I couldn't throw another punch at the guy.“Ares, calm down!” Meredith exclaimed.“How can I calm down, Meredith? I'm waiting for your explanation!” I cried as I broke away from her embrace.“Ares, it's over between us,” she said, looking me st
I thought I was dead, but heaven couldn't possibly look like this. After all, who still felt pain when they got to heaven? My body ached, especially in my cheeks, stomach, and back, as if I had been beaten. Faintly, I heard the sound of a child screaming, but I couldn't hear it clearly yet. I blinked and tried to look around, looking for my uncle. However, what I saw was a completely different place.In front of me was a boy around ten years old who was lifting his chin arrogantly. He wore rags and parts made of woven leaves. On his head, he wore something strange, like feathers that moved left and right. Now I realized that the voice I heard was his voice. The screams were now audible and it turned out that they were all swearing words. I don't know what language he spoke in because I had never heard of such a strange language, but I could understand every word he said.“You should just give up, little worm! You don't deserve to be part of the Totem Flaming Warrior!” cried the boy to
"You want it?" I asked the boy.For a moment, the boy stared at me. He looked like he was going to say 'yes' but he didn't. He shook his head slowly then handed the bowl back to me.“You need it more,” Ben said.I took the bowl, then Ben went to his own stone bed."Thank you," I said and he nodded briefly before laying down on his bed.I stared at the contents of the bowl with a frown, but I didn't have much of a choice. I was very hungry and my body was very tired. Like it or not, I have to eat it. In the future, I vow to make better food for myself. I put it in my mouth and swallow it fast, so I don't have time to taste it.After I put the bowl on the edge of my stone bed, I was surprised by the light that suddenly seemed to illuminate the entire cave. I looked up and realized it was moonlight shining through the open hole in the roof of the cave. The moon in this world is huge, much bigger compared to the moon in my world. Maybe about six times bigger. That's why the light was very
Even if I could run fast now, the beasts would definitely catch me before I got to the group. I thought I would really die now. I've nearly died several times lately, maybe this time it will actually happen.However, before I could blink my eyes, I saw a spear fly past me, narrowly escaping my left cheek. The spear hit the beast right in the heart, pinning it to the ground.I just realized that the beast that attacked me was some kind of giant wild boar. It was the lowest among the kinds of beasts that dwelt in the wild. Even though this beast was the weakest, I would still die if the spear didn't fly in time.I'm still shaking when someone comes toward me. The man had come to retrieve his spear. I recognized him based on Rex's memory. This man who saved me was the Totem Warrior who used to be a friend of Rex's father. Several times he has helped Rex in difficult times. His name is Bil Iris.He looked at me with his bright green eyes. His skin is brown from sunburn. He was tall and we
I ran faster, so did my group. We could already saw the shelter in front of us, not far away. I smiled because we would finally be safe and reach the shelter before it got dark.However, my smile was like a lamp that suddenly dimmed when I heard the faint sound of something buzzing and very disturbing. A few moments later, I saw a mosquito the size of a hen, just like the mosquito I had seen earlier in the forest. There was only one mosquito, but it gave me bad thoughts. What if the mosquito turns out to bring the swarm? That would be terrible.A second later, I regretted my bad thoughts because I heard an increasingly loud hum from behind the trees. A few more mosquitoes came closer. I even saw the Totem Warriors at the front starting to panic."Faster!" exclaimed our leader.The flaming torch was burning brightly to keep the mosquitoes away, but a second later my eyes widened to see a swarm of mosquitoes coming towards us. From a distance, I thought it was a flock of migratory birds
Noe closed his eyes as if he was preparing to face death. I then did the same thing, but what flashed in my brain was the golden tree. Suddenly, a golden light appeared and chased the mosquitoes away. A second later, I realized that the light was coming out of my body. More precisely, from the golden tree tattoo on the back of my hand.I widened my eyes, and so did Noe. I wish Noe didn't realize what was going on, but that's impossible. The mosquitoes left us but I was very scared. What if someone other than Noe saw all this? What if Noe told someone else? I don't know exactly about the golden tree tattoo yet, I'm afraid that if others find out about its magic, I will be in danger.My mouth dropped open, not because I was scared, but because I was about to say something to Noe. However, an instant later, I felt my energy being drained away, just as the light coming out of the golden tree tattoo disappeared. It seemed the light only shone for a few seconds, enough to drive away the mos
I sat while looking around. This shelter was made like a large dome of stacked stones. There were two gates, on the front and back, made of thick and strong wood. Inside were many tents prepared for sleeping, while in the middle was where people gathered to eat or to sharpen weapons.I deliberately waited a few minutes after Noe left me, pretending to be warming myself by the fire. I didn't want to seem close to anyone, I believe Noe thought the same. After that, I returned to the camp reserved for the boys from the logistics team.When I arrived, all the children were already lying in their places and some were fast asleep. Today was tiring. I saw that Noe was already lying in the corner and it looked like he had started to fall asleep. I chose one of the empty spots and lay down there.I couldn't fall asleep right away, not because of the snoring from the boy next to me, but because my mind was full of the things that had just happened. Noe's words were ringing in my ears that tomor
