2022-01-09 19:20:52(My stomach, I feel so hungry) Thought Xaviel
Xaviel opened his eyes.
"What the?""Where am I?"
Light blue wallpapers colored the room as electric lamps lighted the place. Books regarding yoga and self-relaxation are scattered on the cream carpet. A computer with black and blue casing still running, making noise hearable from the bed.
"How am I here? How?" Xaviel said repeatedly. He is sure that all the things that happened to him weren't mere dreams.
"Shhhh!!!" He silenced himself.
Xaviel searched and opened his phone swiftly
Click++25 May 20XX
11:50++"I knew it…."
(Think, Think, Think)
Xaviel put bot his index finger on his head, thinking heavily about what had happened.(I woke up in forest yada yada yada, woke up next day goes to a basement and..)
Xaviel then remembered moments before he woke up,
-~
"…Then experimented on the sap to create medicines. I only managed to brew a 'mend potion' by combining the tree sap with blue herbs I bought at the market."
(When Hoff was explaining the things, I…)
-~
"I TOUCHED THE ROOT!!!"
Xaviel shouted in enlightenment."But how does that make sense…."
Things don't seem to make a lot of sense. Xaviel contemplates his own situation, hoping to find an explanation. However, feelings of hunger took him over, making him think irrationally.
"I should eat…."
Xaviel said as he went to the kitchen.***
"Hey Xaviel? Do you hear me? Xaviel!!". Hoff said repeatedly. "What the heck just happened here?" he continued.
Hoff then dragged Xaviel's body towards the sleeping rug and immediately checked on his pulse. Xaviel's heart rate seemed to be well and normal. Hoff then picked up the oil lamp near him and tried to illuminate Xaviel's eyes. Somehow, Xaviel's body didn't respond to the physical stimuli.
"What the hell is going on?"
DING-DING
"HOFF CRESTIA!"A voice rings in Hoff's mind."W-Wh-Who's there?" Hoff shouted.
"Hoff Praya Crestia, you have been requested at the court of Lady Victoria. Detail on the meeting topic will be informed once you arrive at the mansion. Proceed to the mansion with all due haste! End Communication," said a toneless female voice.
(Shit. The timing couldn't be worse… I suppose Xaviel should be fine here.), Hoff thought.
Hoff then write on a piece of paper with his quill saying,
"Xaviel... I had some things to do. If you by any means read this note. Don't proceed with the mission yet. Dangerous creatures are lurking in the labyrinth. I was supposed to accompany you till you get to the other side, but it may not happen right away. Take the spare clothes and weapon from the chest near the north door. And stay there, don't go forth!"Hoff then put the note on the table of the next room next to an oil lamp. He climbed up the ladder going out of the cellar. As he exited the shack directly above the basement, he walked through the road and got greeted by Maru.
"Hey, Dad! What are you doing here?"
"Oh Maru, How are you? Guard duties in the north gate?"
"Yeah, apparently the Chief suspects the recently caught criminal to originate from the other province. Me and Rook here were about to investigate any clue regarding the matter. Rook, this is my father."
Maru's gestures Rook as he nudged Hoff with a pleasant smile. The man was wearing village guard attire similar to Maru, missing the rank badge symbolizing his rookie position. His eyes were covered by something similar to that of Ski Glasses.
"Good day Mister Hoff. I heard many great things about you," Said the rookie as he shaked hands with Hoff.
"Good day to you too! What's your name?"
"Oh.. everybody calls me Rook, but my real name is Zed-.."
"I bet it was my son who made everyone call you that, huh?" Hoff looks slightly menacing towards Maru.
"I swear, Dad, it wasn't me!"
"It better be. Anyways good luck to the both of you,"
"Yeah, thanks, dad,"
Hoff, Maru, and Zed then depart to each other's destination.
"Ouch.." Hoff blurted.
He lifted his palm and looked around it, though he hadn't found anything suspicious."Well, that's weird.."***
NOM! NOM! NOM!
"My God, I didn't know food tastes this good!"Xaviel is eating a SUPER DELUXE labeled cup ramen on his living room floor.
Ding-Dong!
As the doorbell rang, he swiftly rose and opened the door to receive more morsel. He ordered Pepperoni Pizza with cheese-filled crust, A meatball sub with a side nacho and dip, and a Large Coke bottle. He viciously ate all the food in front of him like a beast.
As his stomach was filled with chunks of food and liquid, it reacted differently. His stomach was suddenly in pain because of the residual air that filled inside. As it was forced to exit, it caused him to experience stomachache.
"Ouch… Oh, God… That really hurts... AH!"
Time went on, and it only grew worse. Until he discovers the urge to take a dump. After finishing the bathroom, 'business' air had completely exited his stomach. His recovery made him think about the situation at hand. How he was sleeping and ended up in a fantasy world. It begs the question of how he got there in the first place and whether it was a reality or just a dream.
"The scar!" he said.
As he fought Hoff the day before, he got a new scar on his hand. Lifting both his hands, he found no signs of injury nor bandage. Prompting him to the conclusion that what he had experienced won't do any damage to him. But still reluctant to believe that it was all a dream.
He began lying on the bed.
Xaviel was confused, tired, and full.Making him somewhat drowsy.Tutt---Tutt
"That sounds like a trumpet…Wait.."
Xaviel opened his eyes to find that he was no longer inside a light blue-colored room but a dimly lighted room made by stone bricks.
"What?" he blurted.
"I am… back here?""Could that mean…" He freaked out as turning his Gaze to a nearby tree root. He lifts his hand to find a scar left by Hoff.
He reaches towards the root, screaming, "TAKE ME HOME!". The touched surface begins to glow, flashing the entire room with a strange light.
"WAAAA" He screamed as he woke up.
He looks around to find that he's back in the light blue room.
“I am back..”“Haha.. Hahahaha…”
He laughs."This is going to be fun!"
Xaviel smirks.

BUK BUK BUK! Duke delivered a series of punches towards Mr. Jones.The training facility was once again filled with sweat and blood. The two fought with utmost seriousness, and no trace of familyhood remained.Perhaps Mr. Jones also wanted Duke to develop much faster. Or maybe it’s because Mr. Jones sees Duke as his future successor, so he is so hard on him today.Since my last fight with Mr. Jones two weeks ago, I have learned more by practicing alone.

Yet I managed to gather those imbued air particles into creating my weapon.Because I made a dagger, I suppose I can call it my [Spectral Dagger]By logic, my weapon is just made out of air particles that are stuck inside some sort of frame. So, I had to maintain the frame of my weapon, which was a dagger. The only real damage that can be dealt is when I set the particle to hit the enemy. Yet using complex com

Not yet, Ankara… Remember why you are here… Finish your mission…That’s right. I will complete the mission assigned to me.***The sound of clashing echoes through the underground room. Two figures fighting each other with utmost seriousness. From the looks of it, it was as if they had been at it for a few hours.Yes, for the past 2 weeks according to schedule, I have been training with Mr. Jones."As expected from you Mr. Jones, not a single opening."He released air bullets which grazed my body."It’s been 2 weeks; when are you gonna master it, Ankara?"The reason behind our training is the fact our opponents, Goliadth and Jack Nelson, will no doubt be hard."You still have a far way to go if you wanted to at least stand a chance."

“Joy Soda with three glasses,” Mikaila said as she served the beverage.“So this is your esteemed Joy Soda Ankara. It’s a shame I didn’t taste the one you made at the party.” Mr. Jones said.“Joy Soda, huh?” The green-eyed man said before pouring a glass for himself. GULPAs the liquid entered his system, he formed a smile. “This is good.” He said.“Thank you. Even though I didn’t make this batch, the server here learned it from me. So it’s a pleasure to know the drink is a delight,” I said.A few moments of silence passed by as I ate the Fried Rice.“Codename?” Mr. Jones asked towards the green-eyed man.“It’s Shielder, Mr. Hebsly.”Shielder huh? No wonder he seemed familiar; we fought before. His hair wasn’t white the first time we met, though.“Nice to meet you, Shielder. I am Varenza Shankara.” I offered a handshake.Shielder didn’t seem to form any expression and grabbed my hand. “Nice to meet you, General Ankara.”As we shook hands, the air of awkwardness spread.“By the tense
Chapter 65: Unwanted Exposure
A blade was thrusting from the back of Mr. Jones’s body. It had struck somewhere around his left chest. Most probably, his opponent was targeting his heart. Suddenly, another figure appeared and grabbed the stabber’s arm. With a powerful punch aimed at the stabber’s hip, the new figure launched the stabber away from Mr. Jones.Mr. Jones didn’t seem too bothered as he carefully assessed the situation. He lifted his red right hand towards the stabber and asked, “Did Jack send you?” The stabber stayed quiet, keeping his mouth shut.“Step aside,” He said as the new figure was hushed to step away.Mr. Jones released the trigger on his imaginary gun.BANG!A red light appeared from the chest area of the stabber. Blood spilled from the stabber’s mouth. As he was coughing up blood, Mr. Jones’ chest was filled with blue light. This blue light is a part of his Forte. This Forte is known as Red Right Hand: 2nd Barrel. It works as a means to counter damage. Any damage to Mr. Jones can be transferr
Chapter 64: Thomas Hebsly of The Razor Peaks
The Fisherman and I follow Jack Nelson as the party ends instead of using a horse carriage or chariot like the other guests. They used a rather peculiar cart that used petrol and ran on wheels. I am familiar with that kind of cart. It's called a 'car' rather than a cart. People in Estovania used it quite a lot, yet they didn't first develop it. Most state-of-the-art stuff originated in Willhelmia or the 'Prince' region."That cart is very fast; how are we supposed to follow it?" I said."WOA-!" Fish shouted a little before I instinctively shut his mouth with my hands. "Shut the hell up, dumbass. We'll get caught!" I whispered as I slightly tightened my grip on his mouth. He reacted by nodding up and down. Only then did I release his mouth from my grasp."But why are you here, Vice-Boss Duke Hebsly?" He blatantly said."Don't say my name so casually. Dammit! And What else do you think I am here for? I am here to help you spy on Jack Nelson!" I replied."But the boss didn't say a thing a
Chapter 63: Idealist versus Realist
“Excuse me sirs and madam. I am here to serve wine.” A male servant went inside the table where the conspirators of Seraphinania is sitting. He placed the glass one by one, as another servant poured it down.“A perfect time for a drink isn’t it?” Oswald Leysom said enticing everyone to touch their respective glasses.“There might be some rough sides to this plan of ours. Yet, with all the people here, I am pretty sure we can pull it through quite nicely.” Ms. Eye said with confidence before glancing at Mr. Jones. “By the by, is Jones here the one who used to sell opium to the Molosno family?”Mr. Jones looks around as the attention turns towards him. “Yes. As a matter of fact, I am. Yet ever since one year ago, the distributor position for my opium is vacant.”“I see.” Ms. Eye drinks her wine before speaking again, “Then you indeed are Thomas Hebsly.”“Wonderful guess, Madam. How could you ever guess who he was?” Oswald said, making everyone else except Mr. Jones giggle. “I see. Then
Chapter 62: Idealism Born of Chauvinism
I walked with The Fisherman, Duke, and Gilman, who were now dressed as servants. They do look the part, but maybe Fisherman’s scar on his face gave it away that he wasn’t a servant.“Hey, you put this on,” I said giving him a bandage and instructing him to put it on his left cheek.“Will do, Boss-man!” Fisherman said.“Hey, it's hard to say 'Fisherman' all the time! Don’t you have a name we can call you by?” Gilman said.“Hmm, sure I have,” Fisherman smiled. He opened his mouth and said, “People usually call me Fish.”Duke flattened his eye annoyed by Fish’s and Gilman’s banter.“You know what, whatever. Fish is good enough.” Gilman said. “Oh yeah, everyone can call me Gil.”“Guys, I don’t want to break your spirits here. But you shouldn’t use your real name. We’re here to spy on people- You know what? I shouldn’t even be explaining all this to you two! Boss what the hell is wrong with these two!” Duke suddenly got heated up due to the stupidity of the other two people in our group.I

Chapter 60: Tea Party of Diana Mitchford
A few days after the situation at the safe house, rumors of Sophaya, The Screaming Cinderella’s kidnap, began to surface. No doubt, this led to many people assuming Razor Peaks was the conspirator. Even though no one has asked us directly yet, I hear words regarding the situation, particularly through the words of the woman who wore the uniform.“Thanks for the drink,” I said while sitting in the chair inside the inn I stayed at.“Thank you for the drink, Missy!” Gilman said towards the woman in uniform.Yet, she can’t help but make a scrawny face. Unfortunately for Gilman, she remembered his face, which was the man who extorted her inn for money for quite some time. I drank my morning coffee, which alleviated my drowsiness. “Boss, it’s been quite a few days. Should we start the relocation again?”As per my planning, it is imperative for Sophaya to be relocated every three days due to many parties involved who wanted to kidnap her for ransom money. Of course, I can’t take her to the i
