“What is that?”Cole silently said.He noticed something moving inside the large body of water.“Legion.”He immediately said, looking for assistance to his long range surveillance monster.“Master, we are still too far.”After hearing that,“Mylan hasn't landed yet but is approaching that area.”Pointing in the large body of water Mylan nodded and followed Cole’s instruction.They begin to turn and move towards that direction and just after several seconds Legion appears once again beside Cole.“Master, it is a large monster… we cannot kill it.”(That means… its a level of monster that is similar to those Boss Monster in Restricted Dungeons.)Cole smiled.“This is another Boss monster for the collection, I wonder if Marbas will be interested in this one.”A small girl leaned in front.“Papa, He will only be interested in creatures that have good ability for his experiments.”Cole smiled at the little girl.“Yeah… that guy is hard to please… but there is nothing wrong in catching that
Mylan walks toward me while I wait inside Lily Tree House.“My Lord, we are almost done.”“I see, so did they find something interesting?”Mylan shook his head.“No My Lord, they search the bodies of water and look for the same monster, they also search the monster's main camp but in the end they don't find anything interesting.”Cole signed with disappointment.“I see… then it's a waste of time ha.”Mylan answered apologetically while he waved his hand.“No! No! No! My Lord, they capture some of the monsters alive and bring those back to Yggdrasil, then bring the dead one home to be fed to the monsters. It's not a waste My Lord.”(I mean that’s a waste of time, those monsters are pretty much useless and monsters ‘feed’ can be gathered inside Yggdrasil dungeon.)(So aside from that Hippo Monster, everything is a trash… oh)“How about the birds? Did they capture some and release them in Yggdrasil?”Mylan nodded happily, a smile can be seen on his face.“Yes, My Lord, some of the group
“Huh!?”“HA!?”“Huuuuuh?”‘Where did the Berserkers come from?’‘Haaken is the leader of the Berserkers Guild’‘Berserker Guild disappeared without a trace and they left Veremest.’‘Gold and Black with hints of red colored armor and weapon are the trademark of the Berserker Guild’‘Don’t interact without proper information, we might lose a chance to make connections with the Berserker Guild.’‘Three Restricted Dungeons were cleared in the last month alone.’Cole is looking in the list of information he got from the different guild.They work separately with one another, but sometimes they get various information similar to each other.This is Cole’s way to double check the information reliability and also check if some of those informations are just mere rumors.However, there is something interesting in his desk.He asks for all the information about the guilds that performed well for the last months or two.Surely, Knight of the Round made the list but he wasn’t expecting that they
Book 3.This story will now focus on two main characters.The Undead King, Faust.AndThe Merchant of War, Noel.This will be the first time that the readers will meet Noel.At this point, Noel is just a nobody, who wanted to rise to the top, he wanted to prove that he can be something, he can be someone.That is why he hustle, and do all he can and get that first contract.Noel, is someone that understands people, someone who knows their value unlike the other nobles and this will change his fate.This is also the reason that Cole should be wary of.Because even though Noel is one of the protagonists of the story, he is far from being good.He will use everyone he can to get what he wants, for you to work with him.Even black mail.Fortunately, he didn’t do that with Arthur because he knew that Arthur dislikes those kinds of people so he didn’t approach him with that mask instead he approached him with the mask of ‘kindness’.But Cole didn’t doubt for a minute that once the Berserker
In the dark cave that smells like a mix of iron and soil.Drop!Drop!So parts of the cave are slowly eroding.This place was previously an iron mine but a certain group took over it when the iron veins were assumed to be depleted.Or… that was what the paper told me.This iron mine is owned by a certain noble and they wanted this place to be free from the eyes of the Crown.So they have declared that this iron cave is already depleted.Now, this cave has another purpose.On the deepest part.“Cough! Cough!”An old man, an orange skin humanoid with a single black horn on his forehead and it is covered with grimy hair, looks at a muscular man on his side, with the same features but he doesn't look weak compared to the old man.“Diego… Are you sure about this?”Diego has a muscular build, but a weakened body that is not even common to the people surrounding him who have thin bodies, look around one more time.“I have thought about it several times, I need to push the elder to surrender
Boom!No!No! No! Not me!Boom!Echoes of fighting can be heard upstairs which increases the tension among the people here in the prison.The guards are no exceptions."What the hell is happening upstairs?""It's fine just a minute ago before I came down here.""Shit let's go up! Who in their right mind come here and attacks us.""Yeah, that's a great idea lets go."Step!Step!Cling! Cling!The two guards immediately ran upstairs."Hey! What about us!"One of the prisoners shouted.But everything fell on deaf ears.One of the soldiers just look back but he didn't care at all.Diego look around the room and look at the faces of his concerned fellow villagers.Pang!He slams his arm into the metal bars but nothing happens.“Damn! This! Damn!, Why why am I so powerless.”Bang!Diego remembers the day that they were captured.*********************************“Attack we are under attack- ahhh”The villager that came running from the forest was shot by an arrow in his back.Then suddenly
A man came down coming from the stair. He looks around us and just smiles. The weird thing about this is that he didn’t look like he have gotten into a fight. “Hmmm… I guess I’m done…” He said nonchalantly. Diego looks around and notices that most of the villagers are observing this guy. The man looks around some more trying to inspect the area. “Oh well, I will let them handle this…”He turn his back and started to walk towards the stair. “WAIT.!” Chief Dario suddenly stood up and shouted. “You. Save. Us!?” Chief Dario speaks slowly using the human language, all of the villagers somehow know how to speak that language but not as fluidly as humans did. The man looks at him and smiles. “Oh! Hmmm… yeah… I guess so…” “You.Let.Us.Out!?” The chief added. “Yeah, but I just have to call some reinforcement alright, so just sit back and wait.” The chief stared at him for a long time and finally nodded. The man nodded in response and disappear as he walk the flight of stairs.
“My name is Maisha, Chief Dario, I am the Demis Coordinator of Yggdrasil.” ‘Yggdrasil?’ ‘Demis? What are those Mama?’ ‘Cole? Is that the name of the man earlier?’ “Ahm! Chief Dario, I have to request that you advise your people not to fight when we release your cage.” The villagers clearly understand what Maisha said. Though they are not fluent in speaking the language of humans they can clearly understand it. Diego who is beside Chief Dario looks around. Whenever a villagers mean his eyes they nodded in response. Diego moves forwards w
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
