2025-10-18 17:12:12I walked away from school and into the forest, and today is already the third day. My stomach is very hungry because I haven't eaten for three days, the more I enter the forest, the more strange the trees and animals in this forest are.
(Very hungry, strange animals, fruit too).
I thought I would get to the surface, but I never thought I would meet a black Centaur, meaning I was in Death Wood. Death Wood is a dangerous forest filled with dangerous monsters. Death Wood is arguably the most dangerous place in the world. And also, this Death Wood is in the middle of the world of Tara Shabate (Ordinary Humans) with the world of magic.
Long ago, magic discoverers made a pact with the demon king to find this magical world, but before this world was occupied, many monsters from the Death Wood roamed. The witches united to defeat the monsters and succeeded in defeating/expelling them to the Death Wood. After the witches managed to drive away the monsters, the monsters did not stay silent in the Death Wood. Still, many of the monsters came out of the Death Wood. They also affected the world of Tara Shabate (ordinary humans) because Death Wood is the intermediary between the world of Tara Shabate (ordinary humans) with the world of magic.
The reason for Death Wood being an intermediary between the two worlds, possibly for both peoples to know, possibly to let them know how dangerous it is to be in contact with each other and of course, that is just my speculation.
"Who are you?" said the dashing black centaur.
Let me explain again. Centaurs are fairies who look like humans but have horse legs. Centaurs are always in the forest and also live in the forest. If, for example, we meet a black centaur, it means we are in Death Wood because black centaurs can only be found in Death Wood. They were no more different from ordinary centaurs, but the black centaurs were stronger because their prey were powerful monsters that could only be found in the Death Wood. Of course, Death Wood is different from ordinary forests in terms of safety.
"Ah.. I was just passing-"I said.
Then the centaur immediately backed away while pointing his spear at me. His gaze seemed threatened by me. The black centaur said.
"What are you!!!" said the black centaur loudly, pointing the spear he was carrying toward me.
(what's wrong with him?).
Then I answered the black centaur's question by saying.
"Sorry I'm just a wizard passing by" I said pointing my palms towards the black centaur.
After that the black centaur also said.
"Are you just going through it!!? I don't believe what you're saying, monster!!! "he said.
(Monsters!!!?).
"Why are you talking and looking at me like that? Are you talking to someone behind my back?" I said.
Then I looked back, and apparently, no one was behind me. Then I turned back to him while pointing my finger backward and said.
"It's just me, right?" I said, pointing my finger behind me while looking at him.
Then the centaur was suddenly in front of me and immediately intended to attack me with his spear. Still, I immediately responded by hitting his midriff and retreating backward. As I said when I was little, I've had physical training and even persistence until now, so I could avoid his spear attack. But even though I had dodged, my face still got a scratch from his spear.
(Wow, "I don't know why my body feels so mild, Is this because of the stone you found in the lake?. My body has never been this light before).
"aaakkkkhhhh!!!!" I said.
(what the hell!? This hurts so much!! Even though it only looks like it's only scratched a bit!! Could it be deep!!?).
I held my wound with my hand to stop the bleeding on my face, and after that, I asked why he attacked me.
"Why did you even attack me!!!?" I said while covering the wound on my face with my hand.
(It's still hurt).
The centaur also seemed in pain around his midriff while holding the sore spot with one of his hands. Then the Centaur ignored my question and also asked with words.
"What are you really!?" he said.
(What does this centaur mean!!?).
I don't understand this centaur's question. Why does he look like he saw a monster? I answered the question by saying.
"Did I tell you I'm a witch who missed a ride?" I said, still holding my face with my hand to stop the bleeding.
(If he's like this.. )
Then I took a boxing position with both hands and then I made a serious face.
"If you stay like that, I will not remain silent" I said with a severe look.
Then the black centaur got goosebumps while preparing his spear, and I also prepared my fist because I couldn't use magic. We lunged from where we were at each other. I did an uppercut, and the black centaur pointed his spear at my head. But when the attack that he and I did almost hit, suddenly there was a child's voice from not far away said.
"Stop it, brother!!" said a child ???
(Brother?).
Then the two of us stopped the attacks. Where my fist stopped when it was about to hit his chin, and his spear almost pierced my head. The black centaur went straight to the girl and grabbed her shoulder. The black centaur said.
"Lucy, what are you doing here!? This place is dangerous! "said the black centaur.
When I turned towards the voice, I saw a bluish-black child but not black like this centaur. The girl answered the black centaur's question by saying.
"I came because you feel you are doing the wrong thing" said the girl.
"You'd better not leave the village again" said the centaur.
(Village?).
Then I interrupted their conversation by saying.
"Is there a village near here !!?" I said.
(if there is a village, I want to share food…. I'm really hungry because).
Then this kid named 'Lucy' answered my question by saying.
"Yes.. there you go, you'll stay later" said the Lucy, pointing towards the village.
The centaur removed both of his hands and blocked Lucy's view, who was pointing towards the village, and said.
"Don't tell where the village is, Lucy. This person is very dangerous" said the black centaur.
Lucy doubted the statement his brother made by saying.
"What's wrong, brother? Again, you judge someone by only looking at threats from instinct, right!!?" Lucy said.
(Seriously!!? My threat is that high in him face!? Why!?).
Then the black centaur answered his sister's statement by saying.
"Yes, even so, this person is still dangerous... even though he's not evil" said the black centaur.
Then the child answered the statement from his brother by saying.
"If you know he's not evil, why are you attacking him? Stop it!!" Lucy said.
For some reason, the centaur immediately calmed down when the boy said I wasn't a bad person. Then the Centaur said.
"If you say so, fine, HAHAHAHAHA" said the centaur with a happy face.
(What's with this Centaur? Is he a Siscon?).
Siscon is a sister complex which means excess love for younger siblings.
"So what about the village?" I said.
After that, the black centaur introduced himself saying.
"Okay... I'll tell you. Besides, my sister doesn't think you're a bad person, but before that, introduce my name Canavro, and this is my sister Lucy" Canvro said.
(His character changes 180° when she has a younger sibling. Does that mean she's a siscon?).
"I'm Lucy. Nice to meet you" said Lucy.
Then I introduced myself as well by saying.
"I'm Drachoid Oz. Nice to meet Canavro and Luc-" I said.
"Don't mention his name!!" Canavro said.
(no need to be overprotective, right?).
"f-fine" I said.
(So he's really a siscon?).
Then Canavro changed his shape to that of a human with long ears, and the color of his skin changed like that of his younger brother, and the horse's legs suddenly turned into a horse's.
"Wait, why do your legs become real horses!!? You're a centaur, right!!?" I said.
"Don't you know? I'll tell you later when I arrive at the village" said Canavro excitedly.
Then Canavro stroked his horse as he said.
"You fought hard Canavri" said Canavro while stroking his horse.
"Canavri!!! You have no intention of giving a name, do you!!?" I said in a loud voice.
"What are you making so loud about? It's up to me to give you a name!" Canavro said.
"Yeah, there's nothing wrong with giving a cool name like 'The dark horse' like that name, right?" I said.
"Don't Arrange!" Said Canavro.
Then Lucy interrupted my conversation with canavro by saying.
"Until when do you guys want to argue!" said Lucy.
"Sorry..." said me and canavro.

(There are only three of them?)Another party killed the goblins and even the hobgoblins from behind. They seemed skilled and killed the summoner goblins first, so that the other goblins wouldn't come. They chopped, sliced, and stabbed all the goblins until some of them ran away.(I have to hide this)I hid my magic staff and began to show my sword, which was already covered in goblin blood. I did this so that my identity would be known as a swordsman, so that they would identify me as an adventurer swordsman. I started looking at them and it turned out I was wrong.(Not three, but alone?)I used my magic eyes to recognize them. The two party members had lost their fighting spirit, and the only one who had attacked the goblins was that one adventurer. It seemed that they had just returned from exploring Death Wood, just as we were doing now.The person leading them was wearing fairly complete armor, which made it impossible for me to tell whether they were male or female. From the wea

We finally arrived at the location. There were so many pomegranate trees here that you couldn't even count them on your fingers. Here, the pomegranate trees were taller than usual. They looked more menacing, and every branch and twig was covered with poisonous thorns.“Let's pick the fruit then,” said Raya.Pomegranates are usually small and red, but the ones in Death Wood were even smaller and black. The quality of one pomegranate was as good as hundread real pomegranates. Because the environment was very dark and the sun didn't fully penetrate, it was difficult to pick them.“Then how do we pick them?” I said.“Oz, did you forget that we brought the Priest?” said Kei.Then Rosa immediately got ready and began to pray. She clasped her hands together and began to say, “God, with your grace, please illuminate the darkness that surrounds your servant,” said Rosa as she clasped her hands together.Then a bright light appeared in front of her and the light rose to the tree like a second s

After resting for quite a while, we began to prepare to continue our journey, and I saw that Fei had not yet rested. Then Laura approached me and said, “Fei is resting in his own way, you don't need to worry about that,” said Laura. I replied, “I see,” I said.Then Laura looked at Rosa, who was still sleeping on my back. Laura said, “You have to get used to her. Even though she's annoying, she thinks about many things that we don't know. Even you know the reason why she always bothers you,” said Laura.I looked at Rosa who was asleep. I actually understood her reasons a little. The problem was that she and I couldn't be together under any circumstances. I am a witch and she is a priest, a fact that makes it clear that we will never be together.(Rosa did it on purpose so that I wouldn't feel uncomfortable with the party, right?)Then Laura looked at my mask and said, "So, what's with that mask and tattered robe? I'm really curious why you haven't taken it off yet. Do you have a reason
Chapter 1: Part 30
Fei successfully killed the summoner-type goblin, with Kei's assist in severing its arm. Then Kei didn't forget to cut off the goblin's ear with the earring as proof so he could rank up faster as an adventurer.(I really want to do that)The earrings worn by goblins actually represent the caste they belong to. If they don't have earrings, they are ordinary goblins who don't form groups or have villages.If they have one earring, it means they are goblins who are used to living in groups and are the lowest caste in the village. If they have two earrings, it means they are intelligent goblins who have personal duties, such as the summoner type mentioned earlier. If it has three earrings, it means it is a fighter-type goblin that is sometimes skilled in using human weapons, and hob goblins are also included in this. If it has no earrings and is large in size, it means it is a Goblin King.(It seems that if you successfully kill a goblin king, a new rank above A will open up. But the rece
Chapter 1: Part 29
My first journey as an adventurer began. I thought I wanted to become an adventurer because, after the receptionist's explanation, I could get an ID card and be able to find information more easily. Moreover, the guild was a center of information.On the journey to Death Wood, those who were initially relaxed became very serious. Even during the journey, they were actively hunting monsters that approached. I also participated in the hunt, but of course, because my rank was still low, they only advised me to kill slimes.(Only slimes, anyway, I'm still rank E too)They were very good at working together as a team. Fei, who had been quiet, became the best archer in the team, even beating Laura in accuracy. Raya led the attack and gave instructions, and the others followed his lead.As for the monsters around Death Wood, they were mostly just slimes, but sometimes mid-level monsters would appear, and those were the ones adventurers usually hunted to prevent them from approaching the city
Chapter 1: Part 28
(A priest, huh?)I was wary of her even though she looked beautiful. Her face perfectly described a devout priest. The uniform she wore was more like a combat uniform for priests that I had read about in books. The difference between a priest's combat uniform and this adventurer's version was that it was made as minimal as possible and did not look like armor for war.“Why are you so quiet, Oz?” said Rosa.“Ah, it's nothing. I'm just daydreaming a little,” I said.“Today will be our first time exploring Death Wood a little. I can't wait to work with you,” said Rosa.“Yes, me too,” I said.Then she looked at my glass of tea and said, “Is that tea? Do you like tea too?” she said.“Yes,” I said.I was very wary of her and only answered briefly to make her uncomfortable and stop. I also turned my face away and drank my tea. But she always talked to me and said, “I also like tea, especially black tea,” said Rosa.(So this drink also comes in black).A little explanation, if you're curious
