In my mind, I could see the explosion effect from the background while soldiers were fighting and spilling real blood.
(Mages… I thought I wouldn’t need them but I guess I was wrong. They would revolutionize movies.)I nodded to my genius idea.(The fantasy genre is favorable in this place, we have a ‘collection’ of monsters in our disposal, that would be similar to a prop room or warehouse in a major studio. We also don’t need the CGI for the movie. The thing is we can just release them and kill them on the spot for a more realistic effect.)Nice.(The only problem is the story. I should also promote book writers and even introduce manwha and manga to them. We need more creators right now.)(I will support their project. We could buy papers and pens for them so they could put their stories into books… The problem will be production of books but in the meantime we could have a library that could compile everything.)After collecting the artifacts I was too tired already.We went back inside Yggdrasil, picked up the kids at Caz hut, went straight home, ate Rei home, cooked food and slept.When the morning sun shines on my face I still feel disappointed.(There are no chirping birds.)But when I remembered my haul yesterday I smiled widely.I didn’t go down and eat breakfast, instead I checked the items first.I pick up the gray monocle and I notice a magic circle engraved in that item.I pull out a magic crystal and rob it on the magic circle.The blue panel appears once again.________________________Gyana MonocleWhen equipped, the user will have a deep and complete ‘understanding’ of everything he reads.________________________……“Is… is this good? I expect something outrageously good because this was left in Autumn private quarters.”I feel disappoint
She seriously said her name.Then I tap her shoulder.(It's fluffy just like Crystal.)I want to caress it but I force myself to stop.I chuckled a little.“Loosen yourself, where is that fiery girl I met earlier?”I smiled at her and her eyes widened, I saw her mouth twitch.“Yes, My Lord.”I shake my head.“Sheesh…”Then I looked back to both of them.“Well it's a good thing that you are here. Rei calls Marbas, and Twix calls Alicia. I have something to discuss with them.”Then I continue.“Oh! Twix, If Nabel is present please call him too if not it's alright.”“Yes! Master!”Both of them bowed and immediately left.After a while, they came to my house, however, they were more than what I expected.Rei and Marbas came earlier so they are just chilling in the conference room with me.This conference room is locate
I notice her shiver.‘Why?’‘Please.’‘Did Beatrix do something wrong?’I heard the girls say.(Is there something wrong?)Then Twix speaks up.“My Lord, Beatrix is not capable of entering the Wizard Crypt.”This time her firm voice came back.Nabel immediately stared at her and she flinched.(Wait, is there a misunderstanding that I didn’t know.)(I’ll clear it up.)“Beatrix, that's your name?”“Ye-Yes, My Lord.”“You see, to enter the Crypt you need to have a ‘Mana’, and for anyone who already succeeds we cannot try again.”“But, I will lend you this.”I show her subspace ring, a ring full of jewels around it.The WereCat was shocked that she put her hands in her mouth.“Lily, Crystal ring form please.”The two immediately transform into a vine ring with a b
That day the two raids on the Wizard Crypt are a success.Marbas didn’t have any problem with the trail.He just passed through the trials so easily and retrieved the Yogan Three-Diamond Pendant.Beatrix was also the same, with the help of Legion, Crystal and Lily. I wasn’t nervous at all.Because Legions ghost is outside the Crypt telling me everything by ‘tracing’ letters in the air using its finger.I have to use my pen and paper and copy the letters one at a time to make sense of it, but this is a good way of communicating with Legion.Overall Beatrix passed the Moving Platform Trial, Poison Room Trial and Chase Trial.Then finally, she retrieved the Cemal Onyx Earring.Marbas got to work, he was excited that the officers can now use the 2nd Tier Monster Ability book.And for Beatrix, she was staying in my house.Twix and Rei are together with her.I left all the books regarding magic to them.There's no need to be stingy, if she grows stronger then isn’t it good for the ‘communi
Our ‘educational tour’ exactly came to an end when we arrived at Lammp City.Before entering the city, I open up the portal so the ‘Recruitment Team’ lead by Nabel enter the city separately.Nabel requested beforehand that whenever we go to any city or encounter some villages they will try to recruit some people living there.He also did this when I was staying in Mychew.I guess, the reason for this is the lack of manpower in Yggdrasil.Maybe… Alicia even suggests it to Nabel.When I entered the city, instead of going around the city and enjoying it I had to focus on ‘fixing’ the problem that ‘Mason’ left.So the first thing that I did is to secure an inn and let Legion do his job.Our main focus is to find an ‘Information Guild’ or to find the members of Lionheart’s Knight of the Round.I let Legion do his thing.Inside the room, Lily is talking with Jewel and
Inside the Adventurer’s Guild in Lammp City.There are several gray stone circular tables in the adventurers guild meeting floor. The meeting floor is located in the ground floor of the building, it also has a high ceiling that covers two floors of the building.All windows from the ground floor to the second floor were open, the hot breeze and sunlight entered the building.Each of those circular tables are occupied by either a large guild or large party that will join the expedition.Those small adventurers and solo adventurers that would like to join the expedition are located at the back part of the meeting floor.We are currently one of the groups that is occupying one of those circular tables.I look around and glance at the people that would join us.A strong looking warrior wearing fine armor and a large axe is resting in his hand.Ndale, the guild leader of Red Sun Guild.Then I glance at the other side.I saw a man wearing bronze colored armor, with a large shield and two c
Bam! Bam! Bam!I throw three punches to the heavy armored monster in front of me.Swish!But then the monster swipes his arms and attacks me.Ting!The finger of the monster engraves a large scratch in my armor.‘Percival!’Huff! Huff!“Wearing armor in a close combat fight is difficult but!”Swish! Swish!I protected my head from the attack!Tang! Ting!But the fingers of the insect still pass through my bracer.Blood started to drip on my left hand.‘Bors!’‘Tristan!’(Who’s that!?)Tang! Ting! Tang!‘Arggghh! Fight back!’Chaos started to arise in the battlefield.(I hope the civilians are alright! Merlin is with them. I'm sure they will be fine.)“Arggh!”I punch the monster on the side using my left hand.Bang!Crack!I felt my hand crack.“Argghh!”(I have to endure the pain!)‘Lamorak!’‘Lancelot!’‘HAHAHA! Now I can fight!’(The one shouting is getting closer!)Tang! Bam! Bam! Swish! Tang!I exchange attacks from the monsters several times.My armor is getting damaged every ti
Puck!“That’s the last of them Arthur, No What!?”Lamorak pulls out his black great sword that pierces the yellow looking scarab monster and looks at me.I look around the area.There are several soldiers lying on the ground, heads cut off, a hole can be seen in their chest and some of them are even cut in half.The fierce battle can be seen in this area.“It seems like the main group of those monsters attack the front line.”A large number of monsters attack this group, compared to our attackers the number is almost 10 times as much.Tristan walks towards me and he is looking at the dead and wound people around us.“Yeah…”Wounded soldiers are helping each other out.Some of them are crying for the people they lost.I look around towards the group.“The knights will catch up to us, help out the wounded first and I will report what happened to us.”After that the knights help out the wounded and even set up the camp.At night, our group caught up to us and settled down in the camp.We
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
