If Loris looked like a young man who didn’t know how to communicate with people, Azmien looked like the type of person who communicated but couldn’t. It wasn’t because he was too shy or clumsy, or that he looked like a little bird about to pop its head out due to intense heat and pressure, but it was because he simply didn’t eat and clothe well. Nevertheless, it was already too hard to look for him after that explosion. It was a little too late for Commander Gaspar to instruct his soldiers to keep everyone close to Loris by ten meters to stay. When they realized the possibility of Loris actually engaging in a fight in the streets instead, the kids were already nowhere to be found. However, Major Esme wasn’t the type to give up too early. She assembled her troops and gave them the task to find everyone – especially Banji’s gang – who stood near the incident area. That was how she managed to find Azmien, the kid who was up to fight against Loris himself. One glance at him and Esme d
Azmien was startled. Before he could respond, the door opened and Major Esme entered with a serious expression. One could already assume the meeting didn’t go smoothly with just one glance at her, more so when she instructed Loris and Azmien, “Leave the premises.” Azmien was about to ask something but he was immediately cut off. “Thesis and Jones will escort you to your houses,” Esme exclaimed while gesturing to the lieutenants behind her. Once they stepped out, Loris noticed they weren’t in the military base but a house. A huge house that was decorated by machinery and a garden full of flowers across. He put two and two together and concluded it was none other than Major Esme’s house. He confirmed his instinct with Eye. “This indeed appears to be her house. Why she wants you to leave is probably related to her visitors.” “Visitors?” “Yes. Her visitors seem to be high-ranking officials. They are also D and C-level gunners like her,” Eye said. “It’s only right to leave before th
In reality, Loris didn’t want to engage in any type of conflict against his relatives. The Federico Clan might be a minor aristocrat leaving in the suburbs of Famu Town but this clan was far from being less in terms of political power and wealth in general.Even when others thought of the clan as somewhat recluse and avoided too much exposure to the metropolitan people, the Federico Clan still uphold their name, providing the first region’s best wood products that came naturally from their hundreds of acres of land that occupied a large part of the entire Famu Town. They were only considered minor due to having only five major big households inside the clan, compared to the usual ten or more households comprising each patriarchal unit.The Federico Clan had vast and rich properties that sparked interests among the members of the clan since the beginning of times, which was why it was quite understandable that men in the family would try to beat each other down to take the highest posi
The way to Mount Tenu wasn’t as smooth as anyone dared to expect. Located in a border between Famu Town and its Northern neighbor, Silla Town, the mountain range was covered by snow all year round that made hikers unable to fully develop its road.There were four routes players could take to climb the said mountain but Loris chose the easiest which was route 3-B. Route 3-B was a small village and was one of the trading centers for goods like dairy, wood, and river crystals. It might be the busiest among all four possible routes to Mount Tenu but if one wanted to climb the said mountain in less than a day, this was the perfect route.“Quest?” the old guard who only wore simple clothes and a farming rake grumpily read the paper gave him. He stared at Loris with his eyebrow rising. “Why would you need those rock tenders for? Are you going to use them for rock fighting?”Loris stood still, “…”On the paper, there was a simple quest instruction: [Quest: Get 10 rock tenders in Mount Tenu in
One of the many features in RPGs Loris enjoyed were its landscapes and architecture. Just like how intricate and detailed the architecture of the metropolis, the rural area was rich in its natural life and beauty. When he first saw the cover of the game World of Nimgofu, he thought the game would be all about steam engines and superpowers strictly. When he visited Famu City through a train, however, he realized the game wasn’t only reserved for steampunk fanatics but it also catered to medieval fantasy a lot. Things like tavern, farms, potions, forest guardians, and other shapeshifting non-human creatures were just a few things that were included to the list of what made the World of Nimgofu a fantasy.But no matter how much pleasure someone took from enjoying such new and strange things, there would still be challenges he must face.Loris had never climbed as tall as Mount Tenu before. It went without saying that he was already losing breath when he reached half of the mountain.“Yo
The last time Banji saw Loris was in the streets when he suddenly created a massive magic shield. It was so huge that Banji almost forgot his name. When the military arrived and told them to disperse, he was the first one who retreated.Even as the town mayor’s eldest son, Banji knew how powerful the military force was in each town. So when he saw Commander Gaspar’s angry face, he didn’t hesitate and left the premises in a hurry. As such, he didn’t see how Loris endured holding the shield before it exploded. All he knew was that Loris suddenly acted at random and took out a shield.As a F level, Banji’s mind worked quite on the simpler side. So when he saw Loris again in Mount Tenu, the idea that Loris might have a powerful magic power than him didn’t cross his mind.“What are you doing here, huh?” Banji demanded. He glanced at Loris then at the side, seeing ten rock tenders.He was stunned. Those were the same rocks he needed to complete his quest!The complaining group behind him al
There were no other Earthlings in this game aside from him so why not bring a game that came from home? All the player needed was much focus and proper amount of strength when throwing their stone. Loris actually wanted to play darts instead but since there were no darts present, he had to make use of what was available. In any case, this would also feel like he was trying to shoot a target, thus enhancing his shooting talent skills like he was in real training.Eye was impressed at Loris’s ideas and remarked, “That’s a great game you thought of. Are you sure you can beat all five of them?”Loris hummed inwardly. Back when he was still a young boy on Earth, he played this game a lot with his schoolmates and won each and every time. Although he didn’t get the chance to play this again when he turned to an adult, he still had the memory to back him up. In any case, all one needed was intense focus.Their delivery must be precise in order to win this game.After some thinking, Banji fina
On the other side of the snowy mountain was a massive lake called Vera. Located near to a train station, it served as one of Famu Town’s richest quest spots. The green pasture filled with a mixture of flowers and orchards that surrounded it along with the bright, blue sky above made it a place for everyone to venture whenever they had the time. At most, it was accessible and free. Loris was standing atop Mount Tenu and watching the scenery below him. When he parted with Arturo early in the morning, Arturo said she was heading to that lake to go to her first quest. Loris gave the quest to her since she was a water-based magic element user. In any case, Loris would have to head to the volcano on the other side of the border to find the healing crystals next.The wind blew, making Loris’s hair sway a little. He didn’t hate the cold but he wasn’t pleased by the cold it brought.It was during these times that one could only believe their companion or ally was in a better condition. Toward
