(A few weeks ago)In the royal castle, the Queen sat on the edges of her fountain. Charming ladies, wearing chitons, sat around her, some singing captivating melodies and others with harps, playing light music, a true heaven on earth.The Queen took a glass of grape juice served to her by one of the young ladies and drank a few sips, when further away, the wind blew, followed by the appearance of a servant with elf ears."Queen Gloria, I'm back."She curtseyed to the queen who handed her her glass, smiling."Well, I felt bad for letting one of my precious nymphs perform such a shameful task.""Do not worry, my Queen, it is my pleasure to be a weapon for the kingdom.""Hm, come, join us."She took a few steps forward, and one of the ladies opened her hands and blew towards her, spreading a pink wind that covered the servant and illuminated her clothes.The spark faded gradually, revealing the outfits replaced by an angelic white chiton.The servant slowly walked towards her but suddenl
This part describes various terms and concepts of this story. It's not technically a chapter but it has a strong importance for a better immersion in the story.

Many people believe in the saying, "Hard work will always beat talent." This phrase is inspiring to those who may not have natural advantages, placing them above the norm. However, what happens when talent also works hard? In the world of monsters, the strongest always come out on top, no matter how they achieve their victory. This is a famous quote among individuals who consider themselves "emissaries of God." An emissary is a person who has awakened the ability to use the powers of this world, granting them various magical abilities. Some say that these powers were a gift from God to fight against a devastating form of life: Disasters, a type of monster resulting from a supernatural phenomenon called the "rift." The rift consists of the formation of an enormous sphere, whose interior is a space resembling another dimension. In order to prevent disasters from entering the world, rifts must be neutralized within five days of their formation. This task is carried out by emissary team
I looked at this new face with slight astonishment, then quickly observed my comrades. Almost everyone looked worried. Sana remained with her head down, Lilith looked annoyed out of the window, Marie handled one of her stuffed animals, with her own indifferent gaze, and only Morgiana and Erick stared at me. I just raised my eyebrows. The young girl made a curtsey, an attitude testifying to an upbringing very different from the villagers." Hmm? Replacement?""I am honored to meet you, Sir Anesidora."I stared, dumbfounded, at my comrades and saw their reaction. Marie was still playing with her stuffed animal, but I think she would really have fun if her eyes weren't fixed on the wall, Morgiana kept her arms crossed, Sana stared at the floor and Lilith inspected her hammer. Leon never took his eyes off me."What... what does that mean?""I'm impressed that you look so surprised. I'm actually doing you a favor, We, Shining Sword, have the ambition to become the best Emissary team in the
I put a hand on my reddened cheek looking amazed at my girlfriend."Sa... Sana?""What's wrong with you? Why are you like this? You're nothing like what you were before, When we started dating you were more cool, more capable, how did you become like this?!"Everyone was looking at me with different gazes, Lilith couldn't hide her anger, Morgiana seemed satisfied, Erick laughed openly and Marie, her head turned towards the window, trembled. What had to be done for something so simple..."I... Sorry...""You disgust me... If I knew you would turn like this... I would never...""Asking me to date you just because I was an Avatar? Yeah, probably."She froze for a second, and another small laugh from Marie sounded in the back. Leon stood up abruptly."Don't talk to her like that!""Here comes Ero-sama.""How could you act like that after all she's done for you? I expected you to take it with more maturity but now you're going too far."" Really? Don't you think you're the one going too fa
My name is Anesidora, Dora for short. I'm a young emissary of the Avatar branch and a former member of the Shining Sword party, but today I'm mostly..."Free!!! I'm finally free!!!"I was spinning in a field, a dozen pieces of bread I had just bought floating around me, then snapping my fingers. 3 slices of bread flew off into the infinity of the village and landed in the hands of a peasant, a child, an animal, or perhaps even a plant."Enjoy, the king invites you to the feast! To the glory of freedom!"I waved another hand, raising my right arm, thumbs up. A whirlwind then formed, lifting the flowers around me, these mixed and formed crowns of flowers."Today is a day of celebration, you are all invited to the fool's farewell ceremony!"I snapped my fingers and the wreaths also flew out, except for one bigger one, that looked like a funeral wreath."Let me save this one, for Dora's funeral from Shining Sword."I fell on my back laughing heartily, had I ever felt such joy? Is that why
Hope sparkled like a star with his Hero Time ability, from memory, Hero Time was a technique that gave some Hero class people an immense boost. It was said that if the most powerful Hero in the world used it, he would become the most powerful person in the world, in all areas, ahead of all other classes. But the hero in front of me was not a hand, but a real Avatar, an Avatar who multiplied the power of his movements at the sacrifice of greater consumption of his energy. To put it simply, cheat a cheat."Since when?! Since when are you an Avatar???""Listen... I'll tell you everything... Once I'll beat you."Forget it, how did you get a skill of a higher class, in this village?! There are barely any E-rank monsters, where did you find it???""Oh... You're right to fear me... That power is too much for an E-rank emissary, isn't it?... It's... Wait, stop distracting me!""Huh?... I'm not even trying...""Hero time can make me the strongest, but the downside is huge... I have to defeat y
" Wonderful! Glorious! You were both amazing!"Elizabeth clapped happily before our astonished eyes. Hope was paralyzed."Sis?! What are you doing here?""How dare you ask? You let me take care of the chores, saying you had an urgent business, and I'll find you here.""I told you I had something to do! Why did you follow me?!"She pouted and walked towards us." Something important? You mean getting your ass kicked?""Oi! I didn't get my ass kicked, it was a draw! Tell her, Dora!""... Mom forbids me to lie.""You shit!""No, you're the shit here, how did you lose so ridiculously after I taught you Hero Time? I've seen a lot of battles but this one has the funniest conclusion I've ever seen." She laughed patting his head. Hope was fuming with rage."If so, fight me again! And this time, no running!""Excuse me, senior?""*sigh* Hope, you still have a long way to go. If it was a fight to the death, who do you think the winner would be?"It was an interesting point, personally, I didn't
