About an hour later, Matthew was walking towards the front gate with a backpack on his back. Matthew and Rose had agreed to meet up here before heading back to the mansion together, but it seemed that she was not here yet. “Typical girls. Always takes their time.” Matthew muttered. Matthew put down his pack and rested it by the wall. Then he also rested his back on the wall while waiting for Rose. If this was back in his home world, he would be checking out his phone for chats or videos or memes but that was impossible here. A thing he learned here was that the technology in this world is about the same as his, but also vastly different. The functions were the same but how they operate was different. For example, the microphone converts vibrations into electricity by using certain electronic and mechanical components. In this world however, the microphone itself directly converts sound in

A few days later. Feathered feet stepped on the squishy sand at a quick pace. The raptors squawked every once in a while as it ran across the mountains of sand. Matthew and Rose were riding on a raptor while Yuki and Cecilia were on another with Matthew and Yuki as the drivers. Their luggage was placed behind them on the raptors. They were all wearing full cover clothing to protect their skin from direct sunlight and the scorching heat. Matthew was wearing a long sleeved undershirt under his usual red jacket along with a scarf that covered his neck. Rose was just in her usual magic cloak that was already covering her fully, with a few redesign to be suited in the desert including a hood. Cecilia wore a grey dress suited for travelling in the desert and a white hooded cloak covering her head and shoulders. Yuki was wearing her usual hunting gear with a brown hooded cloak. “Never have I thought i

Black smoke floated up into the air, from the remnants of the tamsarah. Its corpse was a horrific scene of dried blood and burnt tissue. The sand around it was a pool of molten sand which later cooled down into glass. Yuki and Cecilia were speechless. Even Rose herself was shocked. She had not thought that the effect of the spell was this devastating. “Whoa…” A voice from behind the tamsarah. The girls looked in that direction to find that Matthew was walking towards them while holding his left arm. “Matt, are you okay?” Rose immediately jogged towards him. “Yeah, I’m okay but, that guy looks a bit too hot.” He laughed at his own joke. Rose scoffed. “What’s wrong with your left arm?” “Oh, it’s just a bit aching. Maybe the bone hasn’t fully healed yet. Don’t worry, I&rsq

Matthew swung his sword around like crazy while killing off a few of the scorpions while Rose was firing blasts of wind and pushed away the scorpions. The scorpions were not focused on them so it was pretty easy to pick them off. Not long after, they finally arrived at where the people were but to Matthew’s surprise one of them was very familiar to him. “Isaac?” He said in a surprised tone. The boy that heard his name got called out turned around in surprise as well. “Matthew?” “Save the chit-chat, we gotta find a way out of this!” A girl from Isaac’s group said. “IS there a way out of THIS?!” A boy from Isaac’s group said. He then had to block an incoming scorpion soldier’s punch. The scorpion soldiers were built like tanks. Their armour was much thicker and tougher than the worker scorpions. Their pincers w

TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! Matthew’s and Cecilia’s footsteps echoed in the dark hallway of the basement. There was no light source at all. They only relied on Matthew’s sword to light the way ahead. The iron bars were rusted all over as well as the shackles and chains lying on the ground behind those bars. “You know, I could use light magic.” Cecilia said. “Huh? You can?” Matthew’s eyes widened in surprise. “Well yeah, since Divine Magic is based off of light and holy elements.” “Oh, I see. That’s okay though, you don’t have to do that.” Matthew said. “But what about your mana? Won’t it run out?” “Isn’t it the same to you? I heard that light magic uses more mana than most other magic.” Matthew glanced at Cecilia before facing b
