In the rented room of an introverted Zen…
Yu, who looked at Ravyn’s computer screen, stood up in excitement.
"What are you excited about? Even if Ravyn’s mage deals a critical hit, her opponent won’t die."
Despite what Kanji told Yu not to get so worked up, his hand tightly grabbed the sofa where he was sitting with a thrill as well.
*Bwok!*
The mage on the Ravyn side of the screen slams the wand at Zen’s sorcerer. After the bubble showed a big number in yellow that popped out over the character’s head instead of white or red for a critical hit, the Zen mage’s HP depleted to 0.
["Victor
*giggle* "I know, I know. You’re nothing like one of those donkeys. Haha.. That's so silly." *giggle* Leila covered her mouth, trying not to laugh. "Turn on Donkey’s vault security system and bring down the provocative news that amplifies the riot. Now." Ravyn raises her air pistol and points it at her mission target. "Okay, sure, plum girl. But are you sure you’re going to save those donkeys? A deep purple hair covering some parts of Ravyn’s ruddy face reminds Leila of a plum. …Plum girl?... Ravyn was puzzled, but now she ha
"I’m not helping you guys." Leila monotonously refused as she sat using the Intel board next to Ravyn in the department. In fact, she had already made an agreement to work as an Intelligence AB Assistant as atonement. She shared information with the Donkey about their key members, their powers, and all their plans that she knew in exchange for guaranteeing her safety. This helped the Airburst Organization clear the fog of mystery about Donkey quite a bit. "Then why not run away and live your life leisurely? Don't you also take your time making some eccentric devices to play with us Intels?" *clack* *clack* *clack* .. *click* *click* In the same room, Zen asked as he worked on a hologram screen projected from
2 days ago… Leila pressed a key on the keyboard, commanding her laser beam to fire from her computer’s webcam. The burning beam nibbled Ravyn’s left cheek before she even thought of dodging it. Its power was strong enough that it pierced the room behind her, leaving an apple-sized hole in the wall. "You don’t seem to know what you’re playing with. Since you entered the room until now, my self-defense system should’ve killed you about 200 times already. But if it's switched from you to the man you’re looking for, the opposite outcome is to be expected. He’s that much of a menace." Mischievous Leila walked closer to Ravyn, hoping to frighten her. But the result seems to be the other way around. Ravyn, who now had a slightly burnt left cheek, stared back at the only bob-h
In the early morning hours of an ordinary day…Ravyn, dressed in black and putting on her hair clip as usual, touches the soil in a pot of cactus that Pierret gave as a birthday present. The soil was dry enough for her to water spray on it twice before leaving the room down the stairs at Gentle’Sand. The girl went to the back of the store to allocate the materials stock for this week’s sandwich ingredients and then went to the herbal medicine drawer. She picked up a few leaves, roots, and dried flowers and placed them in the cauldron in the corner of the room."Thank you as always."Gentle who just came down spoke gently to Ravyn."Not at all. It might take some time, but Pierret will definitely g
*Rumble!* *Crack!*The thunder rumbled in Yu’s house with three visitors inside.Weiss, who had a white flash of lightning atmosphere around him, teleported in front of the two AB Assistants, seized the ring from them and instantly shattered them with his clutch.…What just happened? I can’t even see him move his legs…Ravyn was shocked by that unusual movement."No one is coming to save you now."Weiss terrorized Ravyn and Kanji. Their only hope for help was Yu’s ring, which Kanji kept in an envelope to prepare for further lab testing. Unfortunately, it slipped out
" 'Lost Wisdoms' are profound wisdoms from an ancient era that gave those who possessed them the great power to alter the law of nature we know at will. As a kid, we’ve probably heard myths about them a few times to describe the extraordinary phenomena that take place around the world. And I never once believed in those tales with no historical evidence, let alone many that were explained by modern science. Until one day, I had seen it for myself..." Weiss describes what happened to him. …5 years ago, The Prism Group, the conglomerate that holds a monopoly on all of Themeise’s energy and underground businesses, led by vice president Weiss, is on the verge of its biggest coal-fired power plant destruction. Hundreds of their people’s dead bodies were all around the area.
"Ravyn?" Yu, in a tempered glass cage, looked at the purple-haired girl who had appeared before turning to plead with Weiss. "Please, Weiss, stop this crazy plan. Let Airburst and the police take care of those criminals." Weiss couldn’t hear her but still opened the vent above the cage so he could speak to her. "Shut up." *zap!* He walked over to press the button on the control panel to let the high voltage shock her until she fell to her knees. "Yu! You wicked man!"
Meanwhile, at the other end of the chemical drain, next to the cage that held Yu… Kanji fell on a completely dry sewer that had not been used recently. The young boy slowly rose up, shaking the dizziness out of his head. "Ravyn! You're going too far! Oh, ow..my whole body hurts." Kanji grumbled as he brushed the dust off his clothes. When the boy stroked his hand in the area of his shirt pocket, he felt a foreign paper packet. Kanji hurriedly picked it up and took a look. When he opened it, Kanji saw that it was a packet of crushed herbs for bruising. There’s also a message written on the medicine wrapper envelope. ‘Apply it on your bruise, then go out along the sewer way out of the facility and call someone
Hello dear readers,I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you who have read and supported my debut novel. If any part of the story has caused offense or discomfort, I sincerely apologize.After a year of attempting to launch a world-building project to lay the foundation for the forthcoming saga, I encountered a series of trial and error. Eventually, I settled on Lavender Girl.Over the course of the past two years, Lavender Girl has been an integral part of my life. I've shared moments of joy and faced challenges alongside its characters and stories. However, taking into account my current circumstances and careful consideration, I've made the decision to conclude this book.While crafting the main storyline of Lavender Girl and constantly revising it, I've identified numerous mistakes and areas for improvement. Still, I am very proud of it, even though parts of the story have deviated
A few weeks had passed...Gentle surveyed the tables and chairs that had been recently upholstered in his sandwich shop. They were all occupied by delighted customers, and a sense of pride gleamed in his eyes. Pierret, having just served water to a nearby table, approached Gentle, standing in front of the counter."Dad, there are still orders pending for two more tables."She placed the order slips on the counter and smiled as Gentle started crafting sandwiches, completely engrossed in his work. Daily life continues as usual, but now, Donkey's name has vanished. People needed time to adjust to the absence of the outlaw mafia that had a long-standing presence in Themeise. They still haven't grown accustomed to not fearing for their lives or facing harm if they happen to displease the city's powerful figures. Nevertheless, with the removal of this source of fear and dominance in the city, ambitious individuals were eager t
...It's over...Ravyn sat in mournful silence in front of the intricate white coffin. No matter how beautifully the flowers were arranged on top of the lid or how beautiful the hymn prayers of the saints were, it didn't help anyone at the event feel joyous. The passing of Jamie Lysander, the proud father of two children, a beloved husband, and the hero who sacrificed the honor of Airburst as 'Falcon,' cast a somber shadow over the gathering."I owe him my life.""That was the path he chose, and I respect his decision. I can't be angry at anyone, but I'm saddened. At least he was able to fulfill his duties. Thank you for surviving to tell his story."The girl with purple hair saluted and recounted the details of Operation Sun Dog to Falcon's wife in a comprehensive manner. Through this, Ravyn discovered that his wife was an incredibly resilient individual, a fact well-known to the woman herself. She h
At that very moment, the audience erupted in cheers as the announcer officially signaled the beginning of the battle. While the aerial platform descended to be concealed beneath the arena floor, Angus propelled himself into the air with a powerful kick. Ravyn, on the other hand, kept her eyes closed and allowed gravity to guide her descent. In her mind, the recent conversation with Idorund replayed.…"Holding a position in Airburst grants that individual the authority to participate in meetings that influence even regional laws. With the organization's power and our widespread support, it's safe to say they wield power akin to that of a city's mayor. Now, imagine the chaos if an Airburst were to employ their full might against Themeise, a city deeply entrenched in shadows. If Angus were to resort to the extreme measures he employed during his regency in Aelsala, it could spark a civil war in Themeise. It's simply not worth the troubl
There was a quiz contest for superfans, offering Airburst prizes, which Ravyn attempted to answer silently in her mind. She soon realized that there were some tidbits of knowledge, only interesting to enthusiasts, that she didn't know, and she answered incorrectly more than half the time.Meanwhile, the arena in the center of the stadium had been transformed into a booth where people could queue to try out Airteches set at the lowest firepower level on inflatable mattresses on the floor. Ravyn decided to go watch Kanji and Pierret play, cheering them on. She participated in various activities until there was only one hour left. Ravyn, resting in the reserved seat next to Pierret, decided to return to her contestant accommodation room. It was at that moment when the lights in the entire stadium went out."For those of you enjoying this night, let me hear you make some noise!" *SCREAM*...The commentator ignited the crowd'
"Uh... Zamonte doubles down! Lavender takes the victory!"The commentator, along with the audience and Cemal, fell into stunned silence at the sudden turn of events. However, a few seconds later, cheers erupted throughout the stadium."Well, it seems I've lost. But I haven't given up just yet. I'll never give up on asking for your number."Cemal swiftly retrieved his Reiki crystal and examined it for any signs of damage. Relieved to find it unharmed, he hurriedly returned it to its box."By the way, that hair clip looks surprisingly similar to mine. Don't tell me..."Ravyn also noticed the resemblance between her own hair clip and the one Cemal had....That's it. A hunch from my decade of experience with girls is telling me. You and An probably share...Cemal's excitement surged as if his heart had skipped a beat."Yo
The pervert's followers were careless because they didn't think a mere kid would dare to mess with their boss. They were about to pull out their guns to protect the boss, but when they heard the name of the Resia family, those who were good at using their power to oppress helpless people ran away pitifully with their tails between their legs.*Boink*"This precocious kid, what would you do if you got hurt? You really are..."She tapped Cemal's head with her knuckles, then composed herself before gripping the collar of his shirt."Anyway, I'm glad to see you're safe."Cemal closed his eyes, expecting something exciting, but nothing steamy happened."And what am I going to do with it?"Cemal responded. Upon opening his eyes and seeing the yellow-orange clip on the collar of his shirt, the boy felt so embarrassed that his face turned a deep
Back in the pre-dawn hours of Operation Sun Dog...Ravyn's gray aura-encased arm pierced through Undre's gut, sinking in with an unsettling squelch. Black blood gushed from the white-haired murderer's abdomen, making the purple-haired girl feel nauseated at the gruesome sight before her."I've got a story for you. There once was a good-for-nothing man. No matter what he did, nothing seemed to work out, and everyone looked down on him. One day he met a beautiful witch. She gave him a crystal of happiness. It was both bright and warm. Since that day, his world had completely changed. From a good-for-nothing man to a good-for-nothing man who is happy and wants to get better. But then one day that witch appeared again and wrenched the crystal of happiness from his grasp and crushed it to smithereens. The joy that the man had experienced was gone, forever. The good-for-nothing man became helpless and unhappy, always wondering why the witch had to
*SLASH*… *Crash!*The force of the sword's swing sent Gabrielle hurtling through the air, and she collided with the far side of the arena wall."No... It can't be true."Her voice trembled with a mix of denial and disbelief, refusing to accept what she had just heard."It is true. My father's crimes are a dark stain on history, and I cannot erase them."Mirozlav approached Gabrielle, his steps measured. The audiences who shared the same homeland were left in a state of shock by the unexpected confession."What do you want from me? Why are you telling me this now?"Gabrielle's emotions were a whirlwind of conflicting feelings. The revelation stirred up memories she would have preferred to keep buried, and a silver aura enveloped her compressed air saber as her grip tightened.*Clang!*The cl
