"Ah it's good to be back..." Grey said."Well, we haven't been back here for 3 years I guess. It feels good to see some familiar places." A lady standing besides him replied.After being back to the city where they grew up, it was a refreshing feeling for the both of them. They were glad to finally return, to finally settle back to the familiar city they've spent the most memorable time they had.They quickly left the airport and proceeded to go outside."Yuan said he sent us a ride to pick us up. It's too bad he still have thing to do, he didn't get to go back with us today." Grey said.He'll follow right after. He said it will only take two days right?""Yeah... Oh, I think that's for us." Grey mentioned after pointing the black car in the right."Oh can you go back to iur place first, I've got to go somewhere important." Grey said."Sure. I'll wait for you there."

"It's already our graduation, it all happened so fast. These past few weeks, the days gone through quickly and here we are." "Yeah, I guess it's really ending huh." Grey knew that he had to leave everything. He was already prepared and Kath decided to come with him. She's going with him and will stay for a couple weeks there and return back to the country after that. "It's starting." The ceremony started and one by one each of them were called. And after the ceremony ended, Grey had already left. He was nowhere to be found.The only thing that they were left with was a message to Sebastian. Sebastian told them everything and all they were able to do was accept it. "I guess we'll see each other in another time. I don't know when that will be but we'll be waiting for your return." Nick said.

"What did you say?! Then the car who came here earlier, that wasn't from you guys? Then who was it?!" Nick felt angry and confused."Wait, did you say another car like this came here before me?""Yeah.""So that's what is going on. I need to inform Vice president about this."Nick was confused with what he's hearing."Huh... what??" Nick said."It's alright, everything fine. You don't need to worry about it, you can go back to the party and Young master will surely be with you later after we finished." the driver said.On the other hand, Grey was tied and blindfolded."I didn't expect that they'd be moving this early. We only found out about what is going on behind the scenes." Grey murmured to himself.Isaac had already moved forward with his plans, Sebastian and Grey didn't expect them to go along with it this early. When the driver told Sebastian what occured he wa

While Grey waits for his ride, he went off the yacht along with Kath and Nick. The three of them wait for the car that will fetch Grey."I think it's that one, it's here."After seeing that the car was here, kath and Nick said their goodbyes and went back to the yacht. "Okay you guys go back. Bye."Grey quickly got inside the car and took off like normal. While they were on the road ten minutes had already passed and they were still not back in Lilac grounds. It was odd that it's taking so long to get back since there was not much traffic and it was not far from the docks."Hey, are we still not there yet?"Grey was starting to sense that there is something wrong. He realized that the person who was driving was not familiar. He doesn't look like his normal driver.He then looks outside and noticed an unfamiliar part of the city."Wait, this isn't the way back to Lilac..." he told

After getting ready for the birthday party, Alice arrived at the Lilac grounds in a limo."Hey guys, sorry for making you wait. Let's go!" She said."It's fine. Let's go everyone."They quickly got inside and took off. Ten minutes of driving and Alice informed them that they are already close. The other guys were unfamiliar with this side of the ciry but Melissa recognized it at her first glance."Are we heading to the docks right now? We're riding on a yacht are we? She said.Alice nodded yes as the party was really going to be held in a yacht."Woah, there are already so many people aboard."All of them got on and saw many familiar face on board. The people who they met at the beach party last year were also attending the party."Oh, hey guys, it's been a long time since we saw each other. How are you guys?"They all greeted each of them who they got close wit

Hey, you alright?"Grey and Kath both stayed in Lilac grounds a day after they got back from their trip on Bali. Since Kath's family went to another city to visit a family friend, she was left behind with no one in their house to accompany her."Do you want to go on a walk?" Grey asked.Waking up early in the morning, feeling good at the comfort of having Grey beside her as she woken up, she felt satisfied with her current day."Yeah sure."After getting out of bed and going outside for a walk, they talked about the birthday celebration that is going to happen later at night."So, tonight, do we just wait for Alice to fetch us with a limo?" She asked."Hmmm, I guess that's how it will go. She said to just let her get us because the birthday location is a secret.""Well, is it a surprise to her sister as well?""That I don't know."In the afternoon, the ot

"Okay, our main priority for this mission is this large cave. As you've been told before we left the base, we are only here to scout and find if there are traces of the material we've been tasked to extract. Everyone should avoid unnecessary fights against the monsters. If you ever come across one, inform the whole unit and avoid it." The unit captain said before we venture inside. "Is that understood?!" he deeply implied.Everyone in the unit understood. As the area is unknown to us, we took our time exploring inside slowly and safely. "Hey, what's that?" someone curiously said.Everyone quickly looked. The whole unit stopped and everyone took defensive position. They were all alert. "What is it?" One squad took a closer look to see what it was and thankfully it was just rocks stacked in a unique formation. "Eh, they're just a bunch of rocks." one of the officer said as he turned and looked back to the unit. "You got us all worked up for nothing." he frustratedly said.Everyon

The training and selection went on, Pulte was able to enter the defense force after completing the initial selection. After the first few parts of the selection, Pulte focused on getting accepted into the force without showing his full capabilities. With that, he slowly distanced himself away from other participants as well as Timothy Black. And with that, six months have already passed. "Ugh, I got in the force but why am I here of all places…" Pulte was assigned to the scout unit. They are composed of a few high level high humans that scout the areas near the fortress city. "Why are you even whining? You should be honored to be part of this unit. We're the elite of the defense force who go beyond the wall and tackle the wild glades of wamilos." Pulte was quickly annoyed. It showed on his face for a short moment before replying back."Oh sure, sure. It sure is nice to be out here in this dangerous place outside the fortress where it's safer…"He sarcastically said."Oh, see. I

Going through the first phase of the selection, Pulte went and thought about not bringing his full powers out. He did not want to make himself stand out. He decided to atleast get in the top 10 individuals of the whole selection. "Even if I don't take this test seriously, I can still end up one of the top 10, right?" he asked himself.While he was busy talking to himself, the person who went ahead of him scored highly."He got 400… That's not bad. For someone who looks like that stays inside their room all day, his score is quite surprising." Pulte murmured.Timothy Black from the other group scored the highest in the whole selection which is 700.After seeing the scoreboard on the screen, Pulte thought of something. With that score, he placed fourth in the rankings in their group. "I'll get my score slightly higher but not so high that it will become the highest in the group." When it was his turn to be measured, he controlled the amount of power his body releases. "Hmm…This shou

( the entrance exam for the recruitment )"I can't believe I'm back here again. It's been so long since I left, did they change anything after I left?"It's the first day of the recruitment exam, many people from various sectors around the city have come to do their best to pass the test to become one of the wall guards. A couple of days ago when Pulte had just quit his job, and opened his old weapons room again, he remembered the times when he was still part of the defense unit. He cleaned the room all night long and barely finished before dawn. After all the work he had done, he called Liam."...Pick up, pick up." "Oh hey, I just finished cleaning up some old stuff and I forgot to ask, how am I going to get back to the defense department again? I forgot to ask yesterday." After all that had passed days ago, here we are today where Pulte is set to try and pass the recruitment exam."I can't believe this, why is there a recruitment exam? They didn't do this before." Someone was ne

[Days after the monster attack]"Oh, you're here! Thank god you're safe. I haven't heard anything from you ever since the incident, good thing it only took less than a day for the wall guards to resolve everything."This is the coworker that I left at the bunker during the monster attack, he and the others from the office were all safe. No one from the office got into any dangerous situation, but it is unfortunate for most of the other people, what happened to them was the opposite. "Oh sorry about that, I was so busy hiding during that time." Pulte thought of an excuse.It has been days since the monster attack, the city is still far from recovering to its former state. Most jobs are at pause at the time since the city recovery is prioritized. "I forgot… I have something important to tell you… something the boss is relaying to everyone, I got distracted with all these catching up." "What is it?" Pulte asked."Since there is no work for us until the office is fixed, the boss said t

The city is in a bad condition, the whole place is in a mess. There are sectors that are completely destroyed by the monsters and some sectors have minimal damage to them. With how late the disaster alert went off, the number of people who weren't lucky was awfully large. Even Pulte can't do anything about that. With him not exercising his powers for a long time may have dull his senses when it comes to sensing danger. "Ugh...Even though I have this many abilities, all of them weren't able to save all those people. I wasn't able to reach them."After having cleared the other area around the city, the only one that was left was the multiple monsters that were battling against the defense troops."These guys are the only ones left ,huh." As they were fighting the monsters, Pulte was looking from above and seeing the status of the city."They really did a large amount of damage to the city. Even though the defense troops came as fast as they could, they weren't able to minimize the d

“Are we going higher?”“Yeah, we’ll increase our altitude and have a better view of the area; we’ll reach the clouds, I think.”“Yes, that might be the case.”“Ummah!”“Even though, I don’t know much about how to operate ships and planes, I know the basics when it comes to using the air ship system in this fantasy world. This ship is different compared to the ships I made for my novel, this one is faster and stronger and much more powerful than the ones the protagonist and his companions used, I’m sure I’m the only one who can operate this for now.”“Maybe I should teach Bolus to drive this too? It may come handy if I’m resting or wasn’t on the bridge… I’ll teach him later.”“Our current supplies will only get us about a couple of days, we need to stop somewhere first and stock some food supply and other necess

You’ve been guarding the world tree well Bolus; For thousands of years, you’ve been keeping these ruins secure and protected. Have you ever thought of going out of the island if your duties as a guardian is gone? “…” “I take pride in protecting one of the pillars of Asgrea, making a journey outside these ruins haven’t struck my mind, not even once, but now that you said it, I’m wondering what I would do if I wasn’t a guardian Ancient.” “Hmm, is that so...” After a short talk, Cillian looked around the ruins “Did I place it up there? I can’t remember where the exact location.” “Are you climbing the tree? Should I accompany you?” “It’s fine by me if you want to come but are you climbing the tree in your beast form? You should change your form first because you might damage-” Bolus started to change into his human form, he was a large person, his form looked like he was a man in his 20’s and his belly was big. “Tha

“I really can’t believe I’m inside the novel I’d written. All of this doesn’t seem to be sinking in my mind yet and I’m having a hard time accepting it. What will happen now? Everything from this point onwards will be a whole lot new experience.” “Aargh, but before that” stomach grumbles- “I should probably head back now and make dinner, I’ve been here for a couple of hours now, is it still dark back at the house?” Standing at the highest peak on the mountain, his eyes grew bright as he sees the beautiful scenery in front of him. “Is this what I think it is, I’m in Alf Island! Even though it’s perceived to be an island no one can ever enter, a land filled with terrifying monsters and a very dangerous place, it’s quite beautiful if you look at it at a different view. Oh, my Bathala, I’m excited! Oh my, I just made a joke, wow, that was lame. There should be no people here since this island is hard to enter and it’s guarded by a ton of catastrophe grade s

I remember this feeling when we were still living in this part of the countryside. It’s great to be able to come back here after so many years. This afternoon I am currently heading close to where our old house is at. I am currently driving my dad’s car who he lent me a day ago. I’ve been driving non-stop since morning after I’d left the motel earlier. “It’s just how we left it, it still looking pretty good even after many years without maintenance.” After driving for so long I can’t wait to just lie down and relax. I quickly parked my car properly at the parking space and got my stuff out of the trunk, I headed straight to the door and opened it. Wow, even after being left alone for a long time the interior is still looking good. I think with just a little cleanup it will be just like how it was years ago. I put down my bags and went straight to the front porch. My name is Cillian, a 19-year-old fresh graduate from high school; It’s the sprin
