[Nowo's POV] For me, there's no classifications of how nice our days will be. There's no way we could determine if it will be just a normal one or a surprising one because honestly, both are just the same. The gloominess of this land will never fade but it's all on us if we decide to make it a better one or a worse one. The rest of our days will be based on how we are going to face it, on how we are going to react towards the situation we are currently in. From the moment I created that goal inside my mind, I started thinking about all the positive outcomes that it will bring me and completely thrown away all the negative thoughts I have from it. Because that's how it should be. I mean, in order to succeed you must be determined and willing to take all the risk without having any single doubt. "I hope the time is right now." I breathed. Lane, who was flying in front of me , gave me a sweet smile and said, "Let's maintain the positivity in our minds, Nowo dear." I nodded my head

[Nowo's POV] I thought everything was already at its worst, but I was wrong about that. Everything is just getting started to be bad, and we don't have any option but to face it without fear. We are supposed to take away all of our scary thoughts in order to fulfill our mission and end it in the smoothest way possible. There will never be a chance for us to temporarily forget about our responsibilities and do normal things like we used to before this gloominess even started. In short, each of us doesn't have that luxury to do the things that we wanted to do, which would honestly allow us to finally be happy. I envy how Fraise and Raiden got to grab that chance I was aiming for—the chance that I knew I would never have again. I mean, how am I supposed to accept the confession of a man whom I can't fall in love with? It's kind of a tragic story, isn't it? I even inherited being in this kind of situation like what my mother has experienced. From my position, I slightly tilted my head a

[Narrator's POV] Another meeting was called by the heads, but it was due to Luna's request. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the current progress in Luna's unfinished potion, so everyone gathered in the headmaster's chamber as expected. "Go ahead and explain what you have told us," the headmaster commanded Luna while flashing a smile. Luna nodded once, summoning all the courage she had, and started facing everyone else. "Crystal and I are almost done with the potion. We just need one more ingredient so that we can finally finish it completely." "What is it that you need, Luna?" Nowo asked, creasing her forehead. "I need this small plant that can be found somewhere in the dark realm. But I am still not sure about the exact place where it grows. And wherever that place may be, I believe that no single spot in the dark realm can be considered safe," she explained. "Well, any one of us could go, but can you please be clear about what this plant looks like?" Maison asked. Lu

[Narrator's POV] Neither of the two sides is experiencing peace of mind. This is simply because they all knew that the war could begin at any moment. In the defenders' base, emotional problems seemed to escalate as they focused on improving their physical and inner strength. The stronger they became, the more conflicts arose among them. On the other hand, the dark realm was also embroiled in conflict. The dark lord hesitated to seek Algea's help, well-aware that she wasn't a person he could easily trust with his life. However, he found himself with no other option. It became apparent that Algea was the only one capable of aiding him, as his newly-appointed right hand proved ineffective. Summoning Algea, the dark lord noticed a smirk on her face. Her expression conveyed that she had anticipated this moment eagerly, waiting for the lord to reach a point of desperation where he had no choice but to seek her assistance. Without second thoughts, Algea, in the form of a white snake, slith

[Narrator's POV]The assigned defenders, Fraise and Blaze, were now completely prepared to fulfill their task. Both of them were about to go to the front of the base's gate, the place where the heads commanded them to wait. While fixing armor on her hand, Blaze suddenly heard a knock on her room's door. Without having thoughts about who that person might be, she started walking towards the door and opened it right away."What brings you here, Raiden?" She asked him, stammering. She couldn't help but wonder why the male defender suddenly visited her at times like this. This is also the first time he went to her place since the day they were all sent into this gloomy land."May I come in first?" He asked her. "If that's okay with you," he added as he shrugged his shoulders once.Blaze was left dumbstruck for a few seconds, and then after a snap, she suddenly came back to her usual self. "Um, sure. Come in," she responded to him.Blaze was more than surprised at how she acted towards the
