Chapter 15: Too Risky
THE GIRL was stunned at what she heard. Not that she is underestimating her ex-grandmother but was she serious?
However, right after the strong declaration, Shelaine merrily ran towards an old, brown cabinet standing outside her room near the dining area.
The girl followed her upon recovering from the amazement to see what the woman was doing. However, when she witnessed her back figure holding an old notebook, she stopped a few inches away from her. Then, she took a few steps sideward, only to be stunned by what she saw. Afterwards, she felt as if her muscles grew cold.
What was her penmanship doing in a notebook that seemed so plain and out of date?
Chapter 16: Time to RipeSIX MONTHS easily passed by like a whirlwind in Verendus, it is now the thirteenth of November—her birthday! Yet still, she saw no signs of him—as if he never existed at all. As if he was just an illusion made by her wide imagination.It was her birthday but instead of celebrating, she is currently inside her room, sulking and crestfallen because of the blues she felt caused by the guy who confessed to her and suddenly disappeared.Her time flew easily while she was having a hell-like physical training with her aunt and thankfully, only a week was left until she would be able to finish it all.Since today was her today, she was free from tiredness caused by her training. Although they didn't totally celebrate it.They were having a break today since she had improved so fast and almost didn't need Shelaine's teaching anymore. A few more d
Chapter 17: I’ll Show You Who’s the BossSO, SHE did what was told to her by the book the moment she made it inside the Mountain of Life. But of course, she tried finding a safe place first for her meditation since she was alone there. Who knows what she might encounter if she let herself open and defenseless?On her way there, she found a small cave that looked unused—and that was what she chose to use for a while.Right now, she is currently sitting in a lotus position on the ground while trying her best to focus as hard as she could until she would hear nothing anymore and be drawn in the darkness that was mentioned by the diary owner.It took her a lot of time and patience that day but she still failed. How could she even meditate up to the point where she could no longer hear her surroundings?Because of her annoyance, she tried finding any info
Chapter 18: Contracting a Beast GUARDIAN beast, a beast in any level that got tamed and entered a blood contract with its master. Spirit beast, the lowest and weakest level of a guardian beast that anyone could try taking and succeed. Usually, their kinds were being used by hunters or mercenaries to practice on. Sacred beast, the stronger version of a spirit beast. If a normal person wanted to tame one, he would have a little hard time but if he was a little stronger, he'd probably succeed. Divine beast, a rare type of a beast that is hard to tame by a normal person. Their kinds were ferocious and stronger than the spirit beast and sacred beast but once tamed, they would only liste
Chapter 19: A Projection Crystal "I REMEMBER you saying that you're the most powerful and most handsome beast alive. However, why does it look the opposite? Seriously? Was that just a joke?" Luna said as loud laughter filled the air. Luna's laughter stopped when she saw Shiro's expression after they left her consciousness. Shiro glared at his boss who was almost turning red because of restraining herself from laughing. And then, he spoke irritably. "It's not my fault that I'm looking like this, you despicable human! It's your fault for being so weak that I got locked up there and just managed to go out today!" he insisted in her mind that made Luna's mouth hang open. "Hah! How insolent! Is that how you treat the master who saved you? Would you like me to take you back to that place?" Luna said as she emphasized every word she said while frowning and acting disgusted.
Chapter 20: Shiro Found a Dying Body THE young lady flinched and jumped on her place after hearing a voice coming from the crystal. After the greeting, the half body of the man she had not seen for a long time was formed in the air while it is still connected to the object. He smiled sweetly at her as if he had not done anything... Wait. He didn't really do anything. He didn't show up—even just his silhouette after a lot of months, so it’s considered not doing anything, right? Wait… What was it to Luna anyway? Why does she feel so affected now when she couldn’t even respond to him before? "Is the time I've given you enough?" the man asked next. The scene that the crystal is showing was apparently not a live call from Konrad, it was just a message that the man recorded before and sent to her as he didn’t stop talking after greeting her and their eyes didn’t meet like before where his looks wer
Chapter 21: Reason Behind the Almost Death WHEN Shiki woke up in an unfamiliar place, he rolled over in panic and looked around. In the ground, he noticed a thick and furry blanket that looked like he was using it before waking up. Then he realized that after he moved his body, he felt no pain—which surprised him greatly. He tried to think of why and how he got in the place and how his wounds seemed to disappear but he got no answer. The last time he could remember was, he was pursued by the people who were supposed to protect their tribe because they could not make his sister obey them. "You're awake," he heard a woman say to him. From the dark part of the cave, a woman with hair that has the same shades wi
Chapter 22: Counterattack of the Bullied Village Boy THE NIGHT was already deep and most people were already asleep but the energy on the other side of the Mountain of Life is still growing and becoming more livelier each time passes by. There seems to be a feast being held there because of the amount of food presented at the long tables outside the houses and alcohol held by each member of the foreign group. The girls that could be seen in the vicinity are all wearing colorful thin clothes that could be seen through while dancing to the rhythm of the men's lively chant while other women are on the lap of the men, forced to sit down. Some of the older women tried to put up with the men although they were already feeling disgusted with the dirty looks
Chapter 23: A Similar Looking Notebook FIRE! A house in the Terra Tribe is currently on a blazing fire! Because of the extreme heat of the fire, the people who lived nearby were forced to wake up when the smoke reached their homes—suffocating them. So, they all went out of their houses to check the situation. People who approached slightly were startled by the color of the fire as it is black. However, they were more surprised when they realized whose house is currently being burned! The house that the strangers took! When they tried to approach the house, they could only hear the cries and pleas of help from the people living inside the house as when they tried to walk nearer, they were being pushed back because of the extreme heat that blows that reaches their
