Like a domino effect in which one event triggered a series of other events. At first, there were only two guards, but a few moments later, four other guards came up, two more from the top floor and three people getting up from the bottom below.
I had just a dagger at my waist. My bow and arrows were shattered in pieces when I fell into the cargo. I also didn't have any Viglet after broken at the hunting some time ago. Despite having a weapon, I still feel uncertain it could take me out of this hellish situation. After passing through the corridor intersection, I turned to the right aisle. Because three more guards were chasing off from the left.
"Dammit! Why are too many guards here?"
Fortunately, they couldn't use Esze to get me. Before, they leashed out Esze but missed and destroyed an urn. Perhaps the goods at this place were so precious since then, they no longer use Esze. I looked back. The soldiers were numbered a dozen. Each of them carrying spears and sh
A glimmer of dim light shone from the sidelines of the window curtains of an elongated house. This two-story building made entirely of wood is quite large. It was able to accommodate many people, but no one would want to live here. Look at here! This house was worse than a dog kennel. The front door looked old and difficult to close properly without a stone wedge, the walls were cracked almost all over the building, as was the roof with holes in it. Some of the wooden floors were already brittle and rickety, which could make your foot suddenly fell. Plus, no one knew if the toilet was still working. Believe it or not, this old building was the headquarters of the city's famous 'Dark Night' hunter group.Located on the outskirts of a slum city and less attention by the government. This was a perfect place for sneaky hunters like them to hide. So don't be surprised if the crime rate here was very high. You could lose your wallet if you looked away, e
As the green light seeped into the darkness, a warmth rushed to my chest, then spread throughout my body. My ears now could hear any sound. My stiff fingers began to move freely. Gradually I regained consciousness.When I opened my eyes, the first thing I had in my eye was the high white ceiling. An elegant-looking crystal chandelier hung right in the middle of the room. I found myself on the bed. Then my gaze swept around. In this room, I am not alone, there were two other people. A woman in uniform, like a waitress, seemed to be making something in the corner of the room. At the same time, another was a man reading a book beside the bed.Then I got up and rubbed my eyes to clear my vision. After that, I could see their faces. The man seemed to notice me, he averted his gaze from the book page."Are you awake? How are you right now?" the man asked with a warm tone. As warm as the gaze and hug he once gave me. Soothing the heart and dispel anxiety. Such a powerf
A few days ago, I was still confined in the dungeon. Thinking about getting out of a room with four hard walls on all sides was impossible. I at that time would not have thought that in the future I could walk freely in a city like me now.Likewise me right now, I couldn't believe I could walk freely in the middle of Elvian city, Ruvia. I could freely walk anywhere without worrying about being caught. Instead, the soldiers who previously tried to capture me were actually escorting me this time. But, one thing still the same was their gaze seemed to be looking down on me, as well as the other Elvians. Even though the figure of the third prince Keylan was beside me, it still didn't eliminate the impression of a mixed being like me."Don't take it to heart. The hostility with humans for a long time clearly makes them like that," whispered Keylan, who quickly understood my anxiety."Then, do you hate me too, Prince Keylan?" I asked carefully."O
"What’s wrong?" I replied defiantly, pretending not to understand."You just asked a secret thing only few people know." Prince Keylan's forehead frowned.Looking at his sharp eyes, I felt a little uneasy. "I… had something to do with it.""What could that be?"A curious expression was evident on his face, like a child waiting for the birthday present from his father. Although I wanted to keep this information carefully at first, I couldn't stop telling him all. Starting from how I was dragged into this world and the strange pin that caused it, until I went to Glafelden library where I found Indemnius Spirit Crystal information.But of course, the fact that I was originally a man remained a secret. Because I was ashamed if it was known by many people. Only my friends and Almira knew about this. Even my hunting comrades didn't know about it.As has happened to Almira, Prince Keylan was dumbfounded and gaping at my story. He must
At first glance, I saw Prince Keylan's palm that extended to me. Its big size represented the danger he would give me. So far, I thought being a mystical beast hunter was already a dangerous job.It felt they were right. Above the sky, there was another sky. On the way to seek for spirit crystals, there were bound to be various dangers to come. It could be that I got lost during the quest, faced a gigantic powerful monster, or had to wrest the spirit crystal from the hands of the land's ruler. Even worse, I died early on in this journey.Just imagining all these possibilities gave me chills. As if I was still as cowardly as I used to be, I might faint when I heard that.Until this moment ... fear still often surrounded me. It was as if my courage laid at the bottom of my heart and would never appear. Obviously, I was hesitant to make a decision. If I could, I would prefer to play tag with Elvian soldiers in the forest than have to deal with this nonsense. Such a
As I turned towards the source of the voice, my eyes caught the appearance of a familiar person. A figure of a man waving from across the river next to the fence that bordered the big bridge. He immediately ran over the stone bridge.I recognized him when the distance between us shortened. The man ran past several merchants with their cargoes who were probably about to sell merchandise to Elvian territory. For a moment, the man seemed to have grazed a cargo. Of course the owner was angry, the man immediately apologized.What an impatient man! Running haphazardly like a child, even though he could do it more carefully. That's how Dimas, my only best friend.Seeing him heading here with a happy face made me couldn't help to run towards him. Dimas immediately hugged me tightly. The anxiety and worry he felt rushed through his arms. As if he didn't want me out of his eyes again. After all that had happened, I clearly understood his feelings. Me, too. So happy to see
"That's how the story goes! I'm not lying or making up!" I shouted loudly in front of everyone.Right now, I was in a 3x5 meter room where all four walls were made of rotting wood. After arriving at Glafelden, I headed straight for the Dark Night headquarters. Surprising everyone by banging the door hard was the first thing I did.Igresti woke up from sleep and jumped off the sofa in shock. Jaester, who was making breakfast, stopped his activity. While the two female members, Nina and Diana, greeted me warmly. I didn't know what Grussel was doing, so I just banged on his room door repeatedly. The old bastard was so surprised to see me. A few seconds later, his hand immediately slapped me, who had woken him up.After a few minutes, Grussel immediately pulled all the hunters and me into the meeting room. Their expressions varied. I caught the expression of happiness implied when they met me again.I told him everything that happened, from accidentally being
Facing a big adventure ahead, I decided to practice Esze with Almira. I didn't know what I would go through later. But one thing, I couldn't expect a smooth road without any obstacles. Because that would never happen in real life.It could be that I lose my way while looking for hints or having trouble getting spirit crystals even though it was right in front of my eyes. Or maybe I would have to compete with other people who also after spirit crystals. The latter's possibility was thin because the information was limited, but who knew there were people out there with the same ambition as me. Moreover, the Spirit Crystal of Hope was able to grant anything even if it was impossible.I still couldn't think of any other worst-case scenario. I didn't even dare to imagine it at all. Let time make my mind ready to accept future reality.Earlier, I told my friends who were still in this town about spirit crystals, such as Kak Shella, Vian, and Vani. They seemed a little
