Mission #3Lionheart Arc.In book 2, Lionheart will encounter a group of black mages that are working together with a syndicate inside Mepkis.Their purpose is to enact revenge on the Kingdom of Mepkis by turning it to an unwanted kingdom. They sell drugs, they harbor criminals and murder officials.However, that is only their front and most of the members of the syndicate didn’t know the true purpose of their actions.What the higher ups of the syndicate and the black mage really want is the complete destruction of the kingdom.What is the reason behind this violence?Just because… they want to do it.An evil organization that wanted to see people hurt, destroy other people's properties and ultimately create chaos.However, their attack on Humbs, the boundary city between Mepkis and Tibemist failed.Lionheart both killed the syndicate leader, Ahm-dal and the black mage leader Roth.That part of the story has a good twist though.At the beginning of the book, the author emphasizes th
After applying the healing water to sick people.The sick child immediately stands up like the sickness is just a nightmare.The heavily wounded man stood up and was in a trance.He looked at Nabel with awe.‘Potion?’‘No, Imani sickness is cured, it's not a potion.’‘Jabari was poison right, it was gone?”‘I cannot believe it.’Then Nabel spoke up.“This is the normal water in Yggdrasil.”He opens up his pouch and he picks one up for everyone to see.‘Normal?’‘Their water can heal?’‘No, that's not important… the important thing is they have water.’“Anyone, I mean anyone can have this water. You can get it by simply fetching it in the reservoir near the city.”‘Amazing! Amazing!’Then the four residents move immediately.They cut the meat into smaller pieces and cut fruit
After a while.I listen to the conversation of the locals.‘What did you see?’‘Come on tell us?’‘... It’s… It’s paradise… there is a big tree in the distance.’‘Oh, did you see the temporary houses? They are large vines.’‘Vine? Are we going to live there?’‘No! The guide said it was just temporary until you got your own house.’‘What else?’‘I saw it… the reservoir of the healing water.’‘Is… is it truly there, is it far from the houses?’‘No, you can easily get water without a problem.’‘There not lying?’‘Of course they are not.’‘Then how about the environment, the people are they being tortured.’‘What! What are you saying? They greeted us happily, they even gave us food.’‘Oh! The other

I move towards the stage and a lot of people are gazing at me.Some of them already saw my face when I arrived here but most of them are inside their house.I felt like I made a mistake earlier when I entered without hiding my face but I shouldn’t worry at all if I can recruit everyone that saw my face then it's already a win.If someone saw me and didn’t join us.Then it is a risk that they might report me but…I look like a regular southerner it will be hard for the other people to identify me.As I move towards Nabel place.The people opened a lane so I could pass easily.When I reach Nabel’s place.Nabel and the resident bow towards me, this includes the new recruits.Then I look at the desert residents.They are thin, their skin looks dry, their clothes are rugged and to be honest, they look like they are dying.“I know some of you still have doubts.”There is silence in the ai
In the distance Legion already informs me that there are people who are being chased by monster.As usual I order Legion to send the ghosts to deal with it but.………It failed.It only means one thing.The monster is at a level that is comparable to Goblin King.Meaning.(This is good food for the kids.)So I immediately changed my costume.A white coat with a white plain mask.(My superhero hero look or my look, if I want to use Lily in public.)I also threw some white masks, a spare mask inside the subspace, to both Nabel and Rei.There are plenty of monsters in the desert.The famous Sand Worm, Basilisk, Desert Tail, WereCrocs, Cactroach, Desert Orc, Sand Phantom, Sand Stinger, WereScorpion and various Undead.There are various monster information I got from the guild, this is not limited to the Eastern Continent Monster but monsters all over the world and some information came from my ‘memories’, Titan books.Some of them I already saw, in photos and art works, and some I haven't
Bang! Bang! Bang!Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!Bang!Then a group of vines appeared from the ground and immediately tied the limbs of the monsters.Not just that, the head and the tail were pulled down strongly so that it slammed on the desert.Bang! Bang!Sand scattered around us.Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!Puck! Puck! Puck!Graaaaa!ARRRRHHH!Puck! Puck! Puck!The monster was stabbed and whipped by vines all around its body.It tried to resist by pulling its limb upward. It even successfully destroyed several vines but.More vines are being created.Then the monster's face dove down in the sand.I guess it is trying to borrow itself.“Not so fast!”The man calmly said.A water appeared out of nowhere in front of the man and shot beneath the monster's location.The sand beneath the monster is now wet.Then I heard what he said.“Is this really a good idea?&r
I walk towards the prince and the two knights quickly stand behind him.Then I glanced at the dead people on the ground.Due to their different uniforms, I came to a conclusion.(Those people who are wearing desert attire are probably assassins sent to kill this kid.)Then I glanced at the butler.(The old man is also weary of us when we arrive)Then lastly I looked at the prince.(But who would kill a 15-year-old kid?)The prince had black hair and a dark brown complexion, and he wore glamorous desert clothing.His face and body is dirty due to the ambush earlier.And when he looks at the face of the prince, a female face suddenly overlaps it.A cute little girl, 15 years old, with short black hair and brown eyes.Dum! Dum!Cole's heart beat wildly.A familiar girl appears before him and suddenly disappears.Cole touches his own cheek for a while and shakes his head.(Why did I remember her?)Then
The third trial begins as soon as Faust died.The magic tool installed inside the room activated and a magic spell commence.This magic is a bit special, for this magic brings Faust's soul into a certain place.A dark place, a place where souls were trapped, a place where sadness and pain can be felt.Faust woke up, he look at his body and he cannot feel it.His body is also semi-transparent.He tried to touch his body.And his hands then flew to his face but…There is no luck.But that’s not all.He is also confused about what happened.He tries to recall the events and came to the conclusion that he died, somehow.And he decided that this is the afterlife.However, even though he realized this, he didn’t feel sad.He died, but he didn’t feel sad.Instead…He felt angry… for the first time, it surfaced.He felt angry when he realized that his life ended… just like that.After seeing the events that he ‘regrets’ the most and decided to do something about it.He died.He is angry with
In the story, Faust was swallowed by the illusion though it didn’t hurt him physically. The illusion enhances the feeling of ‘regret’. Unlike the first trial, a made-up story, the second trial is about looking back at the past. The person who will be under this trial remembers… will be shown every event in his life and every ‘regret’ in that scenario. Even the most minor event will not be skipped and the worst thing is… under the second part of the trial, the ‘feeling’ of ‘regret’ will be boosted. Faust, cannot escape this. No instead, he looks into it. Embrace this scene but instead of ‘regret’ what he felt is longing. Especially on the days, when he spends his time with his family and lovable animals. But this feeling didn’t escape the ‘properties’ of the illusion. The feeling of ‘longing’ doubles. But Faust pushes through. In his mind, he wanted everything to stop. He wanted to be with his pet, to close his eyes and simply lay down and rest. He wanted to remember the d
Cole put his hand on chest. ‘Phew… nothing happened… Good!’ He then looks around the area, looks at the mansion and then glances at the nearby trees. ‘I think it is safe right now… yeah… I have nothing to worry about.’ He then glances at Lily who is playing with the yellow wild flowers near the mansion. Relieved as he is, he began to move to walk away and go home. As soon as he turns a corner. He notices a noble young man wearing an elegant suit. He looks handsome and attractive, and he exudes a confident and distinguished aura. He stands next to an old horse that looks familiar to Cole. Cole stops in his tracks, with a surprise on his face, as he gazes upon the man and the horse from a distance. His eyes widen in surprise as he recognizes something special about the horse: it is the same horse described in his book! Carefully making sure not to be too obvious. Cole takes on a few steps closer to get a better look at it but still keeps his distance. The man speaks soft
The third trial begins as soon as Faust died. The magic tool installed inside the room activated and a magic spell commence. This magic is a bit special, for this magic brings Faust's soul into a certain place. A dark place, a place where souls were trapped, a place where sadness and pain can be felt. Faust woke up, he look at his body, the structure is just the same, however... he cannot feel it. His body is also semi-transparent. He tried to touch his body with his hands, it just pass thru. Then his hands then flew to his face but… There is no luck. It passes right thru like there is only air instead of his face. But that’s not all. He is also confused about what happened. He tries to recall the events and came to the conclusion that he died... somehow. Accepting his death, he decided that this is the afterlife. However, even though he realized this, he didn’t feel sad. He died, but he didn’t feel sad. Instead… He felt angry… for the first time, it surfaced. He felt
Faust continues the journey toward the deeper part of the cave. Even though he experienced a cycle of a nightmare, Faust didn't flinch. Some people might immediately run away and left the cave, but Faust is different, he builds up the courage to walk inside the cave. What he gained in the first trial is strength, though it is not physical, it basically strengthens his mind. The ability to accept death is something that few people have and Faust just earned it after the first trial. With that newfound courage, he dives deeper into the cave until he reaches the second trial. If the first trial is about fear, the second trial is about regret. That is right! In the middle of the empty room, Faust walks into the middle of it where a small platform is sitting. Faust was immediately engulfed by the illusion. He saw various things and events, and it flashes around him. The first event that he saw was about the little cat that he discovered in the village. He was so fond of it that
'Papa! He began to move!' 'He is now going down the stairs...' 'Oppps! He falls down the stairs, Papa.' 'He is now crawling.' 'Papa that guy looks very weak, he is now out of breath.' Lily continues to monitor Faust's movement. 'Papa... He going out now.' Gasp! Cole has been waiting for several hours since learning that Faust is already awake inside the mansion, he knew what is going to happen so... he waited because wanted to see Faust with his own two eyes. And now he saw the man in front of his very eyes. Thump! Thump! Cole's hearts start beating fast. He is excited, overjoy and he is holding himself so hard not to shout or make any reaction. In every story, there is always your favorite character, and for Cole here he is.... in front of him. A thin, sickly, white man came out of the mansion and began walking towards the cave as soon as he saw it. Faust looks like he was going to fall down anytime soon. (It's him, really him!) The embodiment of loneliness. The embo
“Papa? What kind of adventure are we going to do today?”Cole looks at Lily. The little girl with green vine hair skips while in the middle of the forest. Cole shook his head. “Unfortunately, we are just going to look around we will not hunt down monsters this time.” “Owwww…” Lily looks dejected and she looks at the sky. It was covered with branches and leaves from the nearby trees and the sunlight reflected on her face with the shadows of the leaves. Lily then smile and nodded. “I think it's alright!~ Jewel and Viper are still asleep, I want to have adventures with them together with Papa, we can do the ‘boring’ stuff for now.” (Boring!?) Lily looks happy as she skips ahead. Cole cannot accept what he heard so he looks at the person… dream creature, beside him. But Crystal didn’t have a reaction, she was just walking calmly in the forest. (Boring!? Is saving the world boring? Hehe... Well I'm the only one who know about this things.) Cole wasn’t hurt or anything on Lily'
When the earthquake hit Cole immediately started to travel toward Edel. Using Sky and Mylan’s help they arrive at the location without any problem. “It’s been a while since I saw it.” The one who speaks is Alicia. She simply request to see the state of her hometown and not engage in other activities so Cole allowed it. At first, Alicia is concerned because of the deal that he made with Cole upon allowing her to live in Yggdrasil. However, the contract, same as the others, allows her to receive the blessing of Yggdrasil in exchange for their loyalty, and the contract will trigger only if the person made a direct or indirect, planned, way to attack Yggdrasil. This is their initial concern about Alicia, but all her worries go away when Cole explains to her about her contract. “There was a field of flowers back then.” She pointed at an open field in a distance. (But there is nothing there, just grass… grass and more grass.) “Then when we are kids, we play at that place.” Then i
My goal became clear when I realize where I am.Leon Muller is looking at the potion warehouses in his private manor.“This world will be different from the earth far… far… different.”(This world will become my oyster, I will do what I want… take what I want and no one will ever stop me.)Leon closes his eyes and remembers his life back on earth.Back on earth, she was unlucky to live in a place where gender was the basis of everything, it dictates the society and who has power or not.That’s why slowly she changes, she adapted to the environment given to her to survive.And in the end, she did fine…In exchange for everything, she just did ‘fine’.It was sad for her, that all that effort was treated as just ‘fine’ and to be fair, she really did everything beyond anyone could expect from her.However, every action she did was met with one eye close.In that hard life, the only escape she had is reading books in between breaks, bringing her to this magical world she always wanted to c
