2022-01-09 19:22:29"Have you called Hoff Praya Crestia?" a neatly dressed woman said.
"Yes, mistress... I have used my Forte to deliver your message," her servant replied.
"I guess it's just a matter of time before he gets here. Cylia, go and inform Zedafaust of the change in The Prince's plan,"
"Yes, my lady, at once," Cylia replied. She then joined her hands and closed her eyes, emitting a flash of violet light that dimly surrounded her body. Her eyes opened as it glowed in violet as she chanted, "AmantraNa (Call)." The light then projected vertically through the room's ceiling.
"Mr. Zedafaust, Do you hear me?" said Cylia.
"Bad timing HAHA joking I have all the time in the world what's going on hot stuff?" Zedafaust said without a period.
"Umm... Mistress Mylen would like to inform you about the change a change of-"
"WHOA WHOA, what plan? The prince? Oh yeah? Bruh I forgot about that! No worries my plan is way better!!!!"
Victoria Mylen, who heard his blabber stood up and approached her servant and said, "Listen here, Zedafaust, you are not one in charge of the planning. The Prince. Specifically asked me to do the planning this time. Don't go ruin it for the both of us. Do you even-"
"YADA YADA YADA!!!! Yes my mistress I rilli respect you my dear mistress your da best my mistress HAHAHA" Zedafaust mockingly replied to Victoria's lecture.
"You son of-"
"HAHAHA Don be so angry mistris, tell you what. I won't stand in your way. As for our target, I will catch him in however ways I see fit. Adaptability IS my Forte, after all !! See what I did there? I am the best!!"
"End the communication, Cylia!"
Cylia then lets her joined hands go, and the violet light around her disappears.
"What should we do now, my lady?"
"If Zedafaust isn't working together with me on this one. I'll just use my greatest tactic and force our target to come out. The Prince already gave out quite the intel on him."
Victoria then walked back and sat down on her throne. She and her servant was sitting inside a room decorated with red-colored ornaments and furniture. The room had a large window that showed the Mylen Manor's Forest. It was pleasant and luxurious, fitting for a queen.

"So. By sleeping, I woke up in another world. By touching the nexus tree(?) I go back home," Xaviel summarizes his theory on the situation.
"The main problem is if I am gone for more than a day, I will be starving. To the point that my stomach will ache so bad. I really wouldn't wanna experience that,"
"Unless…"
He then took out a paper and started writing a plan.
"If I manage my time playing at the fantasy world. In theory, I could supposedly balance out my playtime and eating time where I would just be okay. Oh, but what about the time?"
Xaviel then remembers that the events that had to happen were in perfect synchronization on his own world time. Time in the real world = Time in the fantasy world.
"Meh. I guess it's the same," Xaviel resumes writing.
"There! Hahaha"
Xaviel had finished planning how he would spend 'playing' in the fantasy world. He would spend his time in the real world by noon, eating food, ordering food, etc. Then go to the fantasy world by midnight until the next noon and return to the other world again at midnight. The cycle then continues. He would only play for precisely 12 hours so he doesn't get sick or suffer other complications.
As he planned it out, he went shopping and ordered food for him to eat the following noon. Time flies as he prepares to play in the fantasy world, and midnight is soon to come.
"All right. Here goes nothing."
He closed his eyes.His body then fell…It fell to slumber.
Tutt---Tutt
Yet again, the sound of trumpet appeared. As if telling Xaviel that he had been safely transported to the fantasy world.
"Good to be back," Xaviel said as he rose from the ground, now standing while browsing his surrounding.
(Huh, that's weird, I didn't notice Mr.Hoff was gone) Thought Xaviel.
He then walked to the other room, hoping to find clues regarding Hoff's whereabouts. As Xaviel browsed through the furniture, he found some sort of paper with letters that he couldn't read.
"Hmm… what's this suppose to say?" He picked the paper up and really tried to understand the text written.
"I just don't get it…."
With annoyance, he squatted, trying to read from different angles. But finally gives up and puts the paper down on the floor.
"Huft…What should I do?"
At that moment, he noticed something under the table.
"It’s a box?”
He reached out his hand and dragged the box where he could better see it. Xaviel then noticed a broken lock on the box, which made him deduce that this wasn’t just a box. It’s some sort of briefcase. Xaviel then lifted the suitcase and put it on the table. Slowly opening the inside, he found,
A satchel, dagger, and some version of the guard's attire.
It surprises him but suddenly turns him to a smile.
“I get it. This must mean I have to fight something, huh? This is gonna be fun,” he said, smirking in excitement.
“But, what was I supposed to do again?”
Xaviel quickly remembers the plan he made with Hoff. Going to Heliconia and making IDs to infiltrate the Mylen Family.
“Yes! I must go to Heliconia through the North tunnel!”
Without hesitation, he put on the attire made out of leather, and the center was filled with a stone. Oddly enough, the garment fits perfectly on Xaviel. It also holds the satchel’s belt very well. Then with a dagger in his hand, Xaviel reaches the North door.
The northern door seemed identical to the southern door. Made out of wood and had a label on it. However, the north door has a pretty big label filled with text. Making Xaviel wonder what it meant. Regardless, he opened the north door to find a descending staircase leading to a dimly lit tunnel hallway.
“Here we go,” Xaviel said as he entered and closed the door.

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. Though… I still haven’t gotten the hang of it.[Spectral Armament] applied to air particles was hard enough to do. 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." Mr. Jones scolded.I rose as I focused my Foen. Spectral Armament, the ability to make anything I touch intangible towards anything. About 4 months ago I found out that I am able to manipulate anything that my body touches. Then 2 months later I got th

“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
