The Shadow Behind the Throne
“Why did he come to save me? I'm not special,” Hermes asked curiously.Upon hearing Hermes' words, the dwarf stared deeply into his eyes and replied, “What makes you think you're not special? Look at you. You are the Dragon Knight. You are humanity's last hope. Stop underestimating yourself. The world needs you.”At that moment, the dwarf rose from her seat, walked over to the railing, and rested her hands on it. She gazed at the cities, towns, and forests far below the ship. Smiling, she called out to Hermes, “Hermes, come over here. I want to show you something.”Without hesitation, Hermes stood up and walked over to her. He stood beside her, resting his hands on the railing as well.She then said, “The lives of the people living in these beautiful cities, towns, and villages you see before you depend on you.”She turned to face Hermes and looked into his eyes before continuing, “The time is now, and the hour has come. Zerubaabel is on the move to take over the world and enslave hum
The Unyielding Captain
Suddenly, two soldiers stepped forward with an enchanted rope and hurried toward Captain Jackman. They tried to grab him and tie him up just like that, thinking he was weak. But to their greatest surprise, he proved them wrong. At that moment, he struck each of the two soldiers in the chest. The blows were so powerful that they sent them flying far into the bushes.Seeing what had just happened, all the soldiers, including Jogan, Hermes, and Vivienne, were baffled. Meanwhile, Captain Jackman stood there staggering as usual due to the effect of the wine he had drunk earlier."Impossible," Jogan said."Does it?" Captain Jackman replied. "I... I..." he stammered. "I am Captain Jackman once again, the old sailor who was cursed by a water goddess. Do you... Do you..." he stammered again as he continued staggering.But Jogan had already had enough. He quickly interrupted him by shouting, "Enough!"This time, he immediately moved toward Captain Jackman at great speed and tried to cut him int
The Arrival of Captain Jackman
Seeing what was happening, Vivienne tried to intervene. She turned to Jogan and said angrily, “It is my turn.”Immediately, she stretched out both hands and manipulated all the weapons lying across the training field—the weapons the dead trainees had used while fighting the demon. The weapons obeyed, rising into the air. She then sent them flying toward Jogan.But to her greatest surprise, none of the weapons penetrated him.The sharp enchanted swords, arrows, and knives struck Jogan’s body repeatedly, yet he simply stood there smiling, watching Vivienne waste her effort.When Vivienne realized that Jogan was invulnerable to the weapons, she quickly manipulated the sand beneath the ground. The earth obeyed, building up around Jogan’s legs and rising to his waist in an attempt to trap and sink him.When Jogan saw what Vivienne was doing, he quickly raised his sword to the sky and summoned a great wind. Then he pointed the sword toward the ground.At once, the heap of sand surrounding h
The Flames of Vengeance
Suddenly, people began screaming across the training ground. Trainees ran for their lives, while others rushed toward the main training field carrying enchanted weapons.Hermes and Vivienne were confused by the panic as everyone ran helter-skelter.Seeing the chaos, the healer hurried to close the door out of fear. However, Hermes stopped her and said, "Let me go outside and find out what's wrong."The healer shook her head. "Boy, I don't think it's safe out there. You can see that everyone is running for their lives."Hearing that, Hermes stepped closer to her and replied, "I know. And I also know you're trying to protect us. But I have to go and find out what's happening."The healer nodded reluctantly. "Be careful, boy."Hermes smiled. "Yes, ma'am."At that moment, Hermes turned and walked toward the door.Immediately, Vivienne stepped in front of him and blocked his path."Do you think I'll let you leave without me? You must be joking."Hermes sighed in frustration and stared into
Ashes of Loyalty
At that moment, the duke rose from his throne and slowly circled Hermes, who was still on the ground, clutching his burning cheek. "I warned you to remain the curse you were born to be," the duke said coldly. "If you had, I wouldn't have been forced to crush you in this kingdom. But you disobeyed me."Hermes slowly pushed himself to his feet. "Tell me," he said, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Why do you hate me so much? What have I ever done to you?""Oh... your crime?" The duke let out a mocking chuckle. "Your crime was entering that forest and murdering those boys."Hermes frowned. "What?" For a brief moment, confusion flashed across his face before he suddenly burst into laughter. "Hahaha..." The laughter echoed through the throne room before gradually fading."So that's what this is really about," Hermes said, shaking his head. "This was never about those boys. You sent me into that forest hoping I'd never return. You wanted me dead... but I disappointed you."Bef
summoned to the castle.
“Where are the rest of the trainees?” Trainer James asked as confusion spread across his face.“They're dead,” Hermes replied.“Everyone is dead,” Richard added.But Trainer James was not convinced. He kept staring at Hermes, wondering how he had come out alive when everyone had expected him to die.At that moment, he turned to the crowd and called out two trainees to escort Richard and Vivienne to the healing quarters so their wounds could be treated, leaving Hermes behind.Afterward, he turned to the crowd once more.“You are all dismissed. Return to your accommodations. I'll see you tomorrow,” Trainer James ordered.Then he looked back at Hermes. As he walked away, he continued glancing at him. A look of disgust and shame was written all over his face.Hermes stood there, silently watching him until he disappeared from sight.As for the rest of the people who had followed Hermes to the training ground, they admired his courage before quietly dispersing.After that, Hermes headed st
