A loud thumping sound was created as the wisp of wind smashed against the wall and caused part of the ceiling to collapse. Luminous rocks, dirt, and pebbles rained down from above. Half of the vast square was covered in thick dust, making it impossible to guess where Dimas was.My energy was gone. Chill ran down the spine and gave this body a feeling of intense horror. While hanging on to the root fibers of the Hanarusa tree, my eyes widened. Looking down, hoping that Dimas would immediately come out of the dust and attack the monster's feet like before.However, he still didn't appear even though time had passed. Beads of sweat dripped from my forehead. Not a word was spoken from this mouth while hoping for the best possibility.But when? Until when should I keep hoping? What if that hope never appeared?Negative questions kept coming to my head, making me unable to think clearly. Coupled with excessive indecision and anxiety, my fear is getting worse. I looked up. The exit was just
Gray clouds were hanging above the sky. Millions of raindrops were the first thing I saw with my eyes. My body swung back and forth on the sea in a big storm, on the deck of a warship that would soon sink. The dozens of canon attacks finally destroyed the bilge of the biggest and strongest warship across the ocean. The ship tilted 45 degrees to the left. Making objects shifted to one side.A wooden crate hit my head before finally crashed to the fence and fell into the sea. My fate would end up the same if only the mast wasn't put a halt to my body. My breath was tight. This ship was on fire, flames were everywhere. Burning anything that could be devoured. The heavy rain couldn't able extinguish it. It even made worse. An explosion could be heard again from the hull. The voice was deafening and shook the entire ship. The thick smoke burst out following the direction of the wind to the top of this deck.If only my body could be moved, I'd do it before. But I couldn't. A
My hands were holding that thing, an ancient rusty shaped star-pin. The size was similar to the old one hundred Rupiah. My eyes were glued to the rough sketch, and scratch circled one side, which seemed a written text.These letters were a little strange but similar to ancient characters. The stroke was too neat and perfect to say just a mere scratch.At least I recognized it wasn't Javanese or Sundanese ancient characters. Because I had already known those two even though I didn't quite understand it. This character also didn't look like coming from Japan, China, or Korea. This might come from other areas, or maybe from distinct parts of the world. I had no idea either. Since the limited knowledge that I possessed, my head hurt when I thought too much."Hoi, why are you silent there, dammit!? Aren't you feel cold? If you want to look for death once more, it's up to you! But don't expect I'll help you again!" Shouted Dimas from a distance."Yeah, sorry, w
For a while, I felt oscillated in a dark and vacuum room. A different dimension, where there was nothing other than the cold empty space. There was nothing I could do here. Besides waiting for this room to took me where ever it wanted. "Why is this happening to me? Am I going to really die?" I didn't know what crossed my mind. I thought to die like this was not a bad thing. Perhaps this incident would make me stop troubling others. It was just a crazy idea in my head. But inside my heart, I was screaming muttered this misfortune. I still wanted to live. I wanted to be useful to others. At least I didn't want to die in a state that couldn't do anything. "That, I ...." Suddenly I felt pulled by the gravitational force. I wonder what happened. The empty dimension where I was, was shrinking before finally disappeared without a trace. My body seemed to be thrown from a height at high speed. The crazy cold was piercing my bones from all dire
The rustle of dry leaves, with the gentle wind, became the background sound in this forest. The forest was currently covered by eerie darkness, but that was precisely needed in this hunting. Therefore, many exotic nocturnal creatures would be away when they saw a bright light.With the dim moonlight and the stars hanging in the sky, I solidify walked down the path to the deepest jungle. The place we were headed was filled with lots of dangers. In addition to the unknown beasts, there was a big chance we would encounter the Elvian army.For humans, the darkness like this made it very difficult to walk. Moreover, coupled with the many tree roots that crossed above the ground. If not careful, even experienced hunters would fall and maybe scared the prey.However, it didn't apply to me, who was a mix of human and Elvian. My eyesight was running as good as during the day. Both eyes could penetrate the dense of the dark night. I could know what was in front of me up t
In a small and moist room with low light, I sat on a hard wooden chair. The length of its four legs was unequal. My body repeatedly shook when I wanted to change position. The feeling of unease and fear enveloped my heart. Not because of the frightening aura of assorted weapons on display throughout the walls or the creak of rodents above the ceiling that could fall at any time. However, due to the presence of a big man sitting behind the desk in front of me.Both his hands were on the table. As if deliberately showed off perfect muscles that formed over the shoulder until the arms. The singlet he wore made the sexy impression though he was already in the late fifties. His mustache and beard were the most abundant sources of this intimidation. It would make anyone who saw will give respect to him. Of course. Because he was Grussel, the group leader of hunters named Dark Night in this city. The existence of the hunter group was a secret. Just a bit of people knew about it. Whi
Without wasting time any longer, I jumped up the fence. My pants got caught and made me fall. Even the hood I wore was loose. Not giving the slightest care about it, I immediately got up. Passing an expansive yard right beside the building. There was only a dim lantern in this place. Its light wasn't bright enough. So I figured whatever it was, radiating the radiance itself. Not reflected by garden lantern. Almost exactly the same as the incident one year ago. While on the river, suddenly a strange object made me pick it up because of its glow. If this was the same thing at that time. Could it be that I could return to my original world? However, my hope instantly vanished. When I approached it, the light was flying up high. Then it flew close to me and landed on my nose. "A beetle?" This was the first time I saw this kind of insect. The beetle was very similar to fireflies. But its size was as an adult thumb. Moments later, that bug flew away. I felt
"Stop calling me that, Almira! You make me like a rare animal." I grumbled. Folding both hands across my chest while looking at her in resentment."But you are indeed rare, aren't you?" She chuckled, then shrugged her shoulders like innocent ones. Thus sat on the sofa opposite me. "I know your purpose here. You wanna ask me to teach you Esze again, right?"I nodded quickly. It was a great help if Almira already knew my intention here, so I didn't need to suffer any more for explaining it from the beginning."You ... always come here and beg for it." That Elvian woman took a deep breath. Stretching both her hands on the sofa. "At least bring me some food out there, brat!""Had you forgotten? I often treat you and your kid.""It was just food stalls. Treat us to a fancy restaurant, so we can have a deal.""All right, but not in a short time. Because that old bastard man just kicked me out. So I'm completely broke right now.""Huh, kicke
