My life was beautiful. It wasn't perfect, but it was still beautiful. It was all before Amenus ruined my whole life.I lived in an orphanage. I was surrounded by many siblings. I had five mothers who raised me and a father who taught me to tend the garden. We lived very happily even though we weren't rich.I barely remember my parent's faces. I was eight when they left me with Gray on the side of the road. Heavy rain and swallowed by darkness, I carried my two-day-old brother to the nearest house. They sent us to a nearby orphanage and that was where my life got better."Look! There's a flying bunny in the sky!"I remember that afternoon. The children ran out, leaving their dining table. Mother Estelle folded her arms over her chest. Her thick eyebrows came together, a sign that she was very angry."Gray! Don't make a scene at lunch!"She stomped her feet and then followed outside. I didn't know what they were fussing about outside. It had been a week since Gray was infatuated with th

Death wasn't something worth celebrating. Let alone celebrating my own death. I would never do that.That thing appeared right after my death. A square window that I often saw in games. It was all dark and that was the only window I could read.[Congratulations!][You became the first human to die in this catastrophe circle]Congratulations it said. This letter was mocking me. There was nothing funny about being dead. I die while the other people fight for their life.Above that, I didn't know where I was. Everything was dark and empty. My body was like a particle floating in the room.I shouldn't die. Moreover because of that green creature. Anger and revenge filled me. I didn't want to die. How about Gray? Is he safe? Why was his body glowing?How about Rose? Mother Estelle? My family? Who would take care of their funeral?No. They shouldn't die. It was all because of that scary man. I had to catch him. I had to kill him. He had to feel what my family felt.[Reward received!][You w

I'm dragged into this weird situation. They start arguing over who will fight me without asking for my approval, but all the royal magnates recoil in fear."Let The Majesty Crown Prince fight him!" Bartos suddenly exclaims.Leogus laughed softly. "No. I was there when he defeated the dragon. I believe he is a Hero."He lies. He's the one who knows I'm not a hero. He can reveal it here if he wants. Why does he hide it? He must be hiding something. Suspicious."Then, we have no choice. Let him fight Gargan!"Everyone is stunned to hear that name. Leogus' grin widens, giving chills to my skin."It's too much to involve Gargan. That thing can kill our hero!" The King rejects that weird idea. The veins in his neck look like a flowing river on the map."If he dies, then he's not a hero! A hero should be able to kill Gargan!""Who is Gargan?" I interrupt.Everyone's faces are getting more and more uncomfortable. However, one of them steps forward on trembling legs."Gargan is a creature that

I stand in the middle of a chaotic street. People are running here and there, some lying under attack from the hideous creatures. The others try to fight with makeshift equipment.I'm back. This incident is familiar to me. I died at a time like this when monsters suddenly appeared and separated my head from my body.'This is your world when the gate opens,' the voice says.I remember seeing a gate and monsters coming out of it. So this scene really happened right after I died.I see that several people deliberately enter the gate. No! That is dangerous! They must be lost their mind to go in the direction where the monsters appeared.Other people scream, venting their anger at the loss of those who were precious to them. Those people come running into the gate. Should I follow them?An orc suddenly runs towards me and almost hits me."Keeeeuk!"The orc is split in two when a ten-year-old girl suddenly hits its head with a street lamp post. I blink a few times, thinking how preposterous

"Amenus in Kiran? What do you mean?"The oracle doesn't answer me anymore. Everything goes black and dark. When I open my eyes, I'm back in front of the golden tree.I look here and there, there is only darkness around us except for the golden tree. Leogus comes to me with a serious face. It's the first time I've seen him that serious."We have to go back, I think there's something—"Ddaarrr!An explosion drowns out his words. Our heads turn together toward the giant trees, thick smoke rising in the air. Without being told, we immediately run there.Thick black smoke covers our vision. The closer to the tree, the heat around us stings our skin even more. Birds fly in panic, animals scurry for cover.The giant trees are eaten by fire. But our attention is immediately drawn to thousands of people surrounds by the green creatures I recognize as goblins. They are gathered under the burning tree with their hands tied. The goblins point their sword aim at each of them. Several burning tree
