As Haruto walked through the dimly lit hallway, he pondered about everything he'd learnt. It was a whole new set of revelations, never in his life did he dream he would be part of something so big. And 5 million yen?!. His got light headed from thinking about it. But, there was something bugging him, the captain, he was sure he didn't make a mistake. The grey eyes — albeit almost unnoticeable, and most of all, the empty gaze and slight displacement sometimes when he was aiming for a particular spot.The captain was blind!. It seemed the enchantment gave one abilities beyond comparison as well as a reverse of it to complement, was it…a flaw? Perhaps. It wasn't just the captain. The blonde also!. He had the power to compel one to say the truth when he was the king of lies himself! Ordinarily, his name already implied so. For now though, it was just an assumption, he had not yet confirmed it. After all, some theories all just remained what they were — theories. They never rea

[ You have unlocked the inventory ] [ You have received an Item ] [ You have received an item] [ You have received 10 Stat Points ] Haruto stared at the messages, unsure of what most meant. But, there was one…there was one…just one. He stared at it with intensity enough to melt steel. ‘10! I have 10 unused stat points!’ Ecstatic, Haruto quickly chose to accept it as well as the other two items he had received. He quickly navigated to the stats panel. And fell into deep thought. No matter how happy and eager he was, he was not going to let that cloud his sense of judgment. That was how he had survived in his former world after all!! — well, at least before he died. After thinking deeply for some time, he chose to increase his strength stat by 5 and agility by 5 also. That brought both to 20 and 15 respectively. He didn't feel anything from upgrading the agility stat though, it made him feel disappointed, he felt like he just wasted stat points. But, something in him tol

“Didn't ya hear me lad?!” It was then, frozen Haruto jolted back to his senses, after Mr Grey's second, almost desperate scream. He quickly charged at the man in hopes to help him with the massive cylinder. All the while, silently cursing in his heart.‘What the hell?! What's with this old man?!’ He got over to where the man was. Then he crouched beside the rusted weight of the gas cylinder, slid his fingers under the lid and tried to lift it. ‘What the hell?!!’ Haruto stared at the man with horror and awe, how could he carry this massive thing without so much as an expression of over strain written on his face?!. The damn thing was as heavy as a boulder. Let alone carrying it, Haruto had trouble just lifting it barely some meters above the ground. He had a feeling he wouldn't even be able to move it if he hadn't upgraded his strength stat yet. What was it of? Tungsten?!. Haruto grunted shakily as he struggled with the rusted thing. Mr Grey shook his head wit

Suddenly, beyond the humid air, unease gnawed on reality like cancaworms. Mr Grey had said nothing for a while, and only the sound of clashes of sole against concrete floor permeated the whole caven. Haruto walked behind him, shivering warily. Out of anxiety and intense cautiousness, he reeled into the table ahead of him. ‘Curses!’ The glasses tinkered, but thankfully, nothing fell. Mr Grey however, stopped walking. Then, he turned ever so lightly, and said in a calm voice. “Lad, the seed of understanding revolving around the subject of your fear is rooted in my heart, but whatever you do…” He paused slightly and said in what seemed to be a cold whisper:“...do not break the glasses” Haruto shivered. After saying that, the man continued to walk ahead. Gritting his teeth and cursing under his breath, Haruto followed closely behind. He knew better than anyone that although he had said the words calmly, it carried a lot of weight. He had seen for h

The cozy bed, the lovely view from the window , the reading table, everything. It felt like forever. He had missed it so much so that he wondered how. It's just been one day, right? But no, it wasn't weird, one day felt like an eternity. Sitting in his room, Haruto pondered about all he had learnt today. It was a very long day, really. And he had gained more than he had anticipated. So much more. Unknowingly, he had spent a whole day in that creepy lair. Learning about daemons, horrors, elixirs. Everything left him with unanswered questions altogether. What exactly was powerful enough to kill the daemons? Just how powerful were horrors? If the situation was examined really, one would discover that horrors weren't created by the enchantment. How did he know that? It was simple really, According to what he had learnt from Mr Grey, it was as if the horrors had never existed anywhere in the age-long history. That solidified his guess. It was like horrors were alr
