“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
Diego cannot believe what he just see.‘What… what is that?’The twisted arms started to twist in another direction fixing the arm once again.‘I cannot believe it?’The legs that were broken started to come back to their original position and mend on their own.‘Is that the waters doing?’‘Is that even water?’The arms that were dislocated slowly came back and the joint locked into place.‘No… that might be a rare potion, that human uses.’The one who lost consciousness slowly open his eyes and jump and look at the people staring at him.“What.Is.That?”Chief Dario asked.“That’s just normal water in Yggdrasil… Oh!”It seems like Maisha remembers something.“No! No!... It used to be normal water in Yggdrasil but now that’s is known as the Healing water… though everybody can still have access to it.”“Everybody…”Chief Dario's voice cannot hide the shock.Diego looks at the villagers that attack the humans.They are perfectly healed, no, much more than that it looks like they are bett
Amazing.This is the word that repeated in Diego’s mind since they came here.He is now looking at the ‘City’ known as Cole as he remembers what happened earlier that day.“Next.”The person that said that was Esteban.He is now standing beside one of the residents of Yggdrasil who is assigned to this so-called ‘registration’.So far, Diego saw that after they register, the Chief was invited to those Beetle Bus, and Estaban together with the other people who went first in line was asked to stay beside the residents.Diego walks in front of the register.“Diego state your name and position.”Estaban calmly asks.“Diego Son of Antelmo, Hunter of the tribe, Candidate for the next chief.”“Diego.Son.of.Antelmo.Hunter.of.the.tribe.Candidate.for.the.next.chief.”The register wrote it done and nodded.“Thank you!”She smiles at Diego.“You can go now, Diego, follow that Beetle Bus as they call the Chief is in that one.”Esteban pointed at one of the Beetle Bus.A large insect with a large wo
Diego was surprised.Very surprise.After they were dropped near the ‘buildings’, they were immediately advised to go to the clothing shop and choose clean clothing, and they weren’t just given one set, they were given 10 sets and the man in the shop said.“Just return some of those so we can clean them and give them back to you in the later days.” Just like that they receive 10 new clothes and a bag from the clothing shop.Then they were advised to go and visit their rooms.The place they are in has a lot of so-called ‘buildings’ also known as Vine Condominiums.Each family was given one condominium.Diego also receives a condominium big empty room with a ‘blanket’ and so-called ‘mattress’ on it.After they secured their place they are advised to go to the Cafeteria if ever they are hungry the villagers didn’t waste their time in the condominium and immediately dash towards the Cafeteria.Diego, unlike the other villagers, calmly moves outside the condominium.He saw different monst
After the human Regis left.An elf appears near the entrance of the Cafeteria.‘Maisha is here.’‘What!? Where…’Diego notice the resident's reaction when Maisha appeared.(Is she famous? Is she also a leader in this place?)‘How to look how cute Maisha is?’‘Ei did you get the Maisha collectible in the mall.’‘Wow, Maisha is here!’While Diego hears a different comment.He notices Maisha waving at him with a big smile.‘Who is that Duffus?’‘Is he related to Maisha?’The people around began talking about him.After Maisha wave his hand she proceed in walking toward their location.She stops in front of Chief Dario.“Hi Chief, Ahmm… Lady Alicia is currently working on the project in Yggdrasil and unfortunately, Lord Cole said don’t disturb him for some time.”(That’s terrible news.)Chief Dario nodded as if to tell the he understand.“I already sent a messenger for Lady Alicia and Twix, one of my friends who is working for Lord Cole will inform me immediately if Lord Cole is already a
It’s been 3 days since the Aro race arrived here in Yggdrasil.However, Diego notices a significant difference between the people of their clan.Primarily their clan began talking more and more to the people of Yggdrasil.They are practicing human language more.Even the children are no exception.Not only that, they heard a report that some of the villagers, approach the ‘Administration Office’ in the hope that they will be given this ‘Contract’ but this Administration Office rejected their request due to some concern.Which put Chief Dario in a terrible place, some of them thought that Chief Dario purposely asked the Administration Office not to accept any request from our village.Rumors travel fast, especially in this small village.“Diego!” A man from the village walks towards me.“Mateo…”“Hey what’s up with the chief?”Mateo came directly to me with a very straightforward tone.“...”Diego didn’t know what he was implying.Mateo looks confused as he looks at Diego’s face.“Loo
Diego went inside the Administration Office. This is a big building in the center of the city. So far, most of the Aro Villagers can roam around Cole City however, they were forbidden to use the Centipede Train that will let them travel to the other cities. They also cannot participate in quests and they cannot use Dungeon Zone which is exclusive to Hunters. Aside from that, they have a freedom of sorts in this city, so far from being a slave. Diego was thankful about this but… He needs to know why didn’t they get this ‘Contract’ which put most of the villager unease. A woman stops in front of him carrying a large box with ‘papers’ in it. “Can I help you?” She fixes her posture and the way she carries the box. “Can.I.Talk.To.Maisha?” “Maisha, wait for a bit.” The woman put the box down on the side and run upstairs. He waited for a short while then the woman come back with Maisha in tow. “Hi!” Maisha waves her hand while saying hi. Diego didn’t notice it but for some rea
“Finally! I’m DONE!”Cole stood up from his chair and raise both of his hands in the air with a glee full feeling inside.“Agrhhh… my butt… my back…”Cole began stretching his body.He twisted his neck, moved his hips side by side, and stretch his arms.“It’s been what… 5 days? Is it?”Cole looks around the room, notebooks are scattered around, papers with different notes on them, and maps with different legends and information.There is even a separate map with different dates on it.In one glace, people might think that he is extremely unsafe, but all of the notes are written in Jon’s Earth language and letters, which is why unless the people who will look at it are from Earth they will never understand this.Cole was so focused that he didn’t notice how many days has it been since he is working.For the past few days, Cole is just staying in his room while Rei or Twix will deliver food to a separate table from time to time.In addition to that, Cole informed the two of them that if
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
