Chapter 17 "A Warm Light in the Underground"
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56A glimmer of dim light shone from the sidelines of the window curtains of an elongated house. This two-story building made entirely of wood is quite large. It was able to accommodate many people, but no one would want to live here. Look at here! This house was worse than a dog kennel. The front door looked old and difficult to close properly without a stone wedge, the walls were cracked almost all over the building, as was the roof with holes in it. Some of the wooden floors were already brittle and rickety, which could make your foot suddenly fell. Plus, no one knew if the toilet was still working. Believe it or not, this old building was the headquarters of the city's famous 'Dark Night' hunter group.
Located on the outskirts of a slum city and less attention by the government. This was a perfect place for sneaky hunters like them to hide. So don't be surprised if the crime rate here was very high. You could lose your wallet if you looked away, e

As the green light seeped into the darkness, a warmth rushed to my chest, then spread throughout my body. My ears now could hear any sound. My stiff fingers began to move freely. Gradually I regained consciousness.When I opened my eyes, the first thing I had in my eye was the high white ceiling. An elegant-looking crystal chandelier hung right in the middle of the room. I found myself on the bed. Then my gaze swept around. In this room, I am not alone, there were two other people. A woman in uniform, like a waitress, seemed to be making something in the corner of the room. At the same time, another was a man reading a book beside the bed.Then I got up and rubbed my eyes to clear my vision. After that, I could see their faces. The man seemed to notice me, he averted his gaze from the book page."Are you awake? How are you right now?" the man asked with a warm tone. As warm as the gaze and hug he once gave me. Soothing the heart and dispel anxiety. Such a powerf

A few days ago, I was still confined in the dungeon. Thinking about getting out of a room with four hard walls on all sides was impossible. I at that time would not have thought that in the future I could walk freely in a city like me now.Likewise me right now, I couldn't believe I could walk freely in the middle of Elvian city, Ruvia. I could freely walk anywhere without worrying about being caught. Instead, the soldiers who previously tried to capture me were actually escorting me this time. But, one thing still the same was their gaze seemed to be looking down on me, as well as the other Elvians. Even though the figure of the third prince Keylan was beside me, it still didn't eliminate the impression of a mixed being like me."Don't take it to heart. The hostility with humans for a long time clearly makes them like that," whispered Keylan, who quickly understood my anxiety."Then, do you hate me too, Prince Keylan?" I asked carefully."O

"What’s wrong?" I replied defiantly, pretending not to understand."You just asked a secret thing only few people know." Prince Keylan's forehead frowned.Looking at his sharp eyes, I felt a little uneasy. "I… had something to do with it.""What could that be?"A curious expression was evident on his face, like a child waiting for the birthday present from his father. Although I wanted to keep this information carefully at first, I couldn't stop telling him all. Starting from how I was dragged into this world and the strange pin that caused it, until I went to Glafelden library where I found Indemnius Spirit Crystal information.But of course, the fact that I was originally a man remained a secret. Because I was ashamed if it was known by many people. Only my friends and Almira knew about this. Even my hunting comrades didn't know about it.As has happened to Almira, Prince Keylan was dumbfounded and gaping at my story. He must

At first glance, I saw Prince Keylan's palm that extended to me. Its big size represented the danger he would give me. So far, I thought being a mystical beast hunter was already a dangerous job.It felt they were right. Above the sky, there was another sky. On the way to seek for spirit crystals, there were bound to be various dangers to come. It could be that I got lost during the quest, faced a gigantic powerful monster, or had to wrest the spirit crystal from the hands of the land's ruler. Even worse, I died early on in this journey.Just imagining all these possibilities gave me chills. As if I was still as cowardly as I used to be, I might faint when I heard that.Until this moment ... fear still often surrounded me. It was as if my courage laid at the bottom of my heart and would never appear. Obviously, I was hesitant to make a decision. If I could, I would prefer to play tag with Elvian soldiers in the forest than have to deal with this nonsense. Such a

As I turned towards the source of the voice, my eyes caught the appearance of a familiar person. A figure of a man waving from across the river next to the fence that bordered the big bridge. He immediately ran over the stone bridge.I recognized him when the distance between us shortened. The man ran past several merchants with their cargoes who were probably about to sell merchandise to Elvian territory. For a moment, the man seemed to have grazed a cargo. Of course the owner was angry, the man immediately apologized.What an impatient man! Running haphazardly like a child, even though he could do it more carefully. That's how Dimas, my only best friend.Seeing him heading here with a happy face made me couldn't help to run towards him. Dimas immediately hugged me tightly. The anxiety and worry he felt rushed through his arms. As if he didn't want me out of his eyes again. After all that had happened, I clearly understood his feelings. Me, too. So happy to see

"That's how the story goes! I'm not lying or making up!" I shouted loudly in front of everyone.Right now, I was in a 3x5 meter room where all four walls were made of rotting wood. After arriving at Glafelden, I headed straight for the Dark Night headquarters. Surprising everyone by banging the door hard was the first thing I did.Igresti woke up from sleep and jumped off the sofa in shock. Jaester, who was making breakfast, stopped his activity. While the two female members, Nina and Diana, greeted me warmly. I didn't know what Grussel was doing, so I just banged on his room door repeatedly. The old bastard was so surprised to see me. A few seconds later, his hand immediately slapped me, who had woken him up.After a few minutes, Grussel immediately pulled all the hunters and me into the meeting room. Their expressions varied. I caught the expression of happiness implied when they met me again.I told him everything that happened, from accidentally being

Facing a big adventure ahead, I decided to practice Esze with Almira. I didn't know what I would go through later. But one thing, I couldn't expect a smooth road without any obstacles. Because that would never happen in real life.It could be that I lose my way while looking for hints or having trouble getting spirit crystals even though it was right in front of my eyes. Or maybe I would have to compete with other people who also after spirit crystals. The latter's possibility was thin because the information was limited, but who knew there were people out there with the same ambition as me. Moreover, the Spirit Crystal of Hope was able to grant anything even if it was impossible.I still couldn't think of any other worst-case scenario. I didn't even dare to imagine it at all. Let time make my mind ready to accept future reality.Earlier, I told my friends who were still in this town about spirit crystals, such as Kak Shella, Vian, and Vani. They seemed a little

"What do you mean?!" exclaimed Dimas in a high tone."Read this by yourself!" I replied as I handed him the letter I had just read.My mind was so messed up. My hands were shaking, but actually not at all. I leaned my head back on the sofa and closed my eyes as if to forget what had just entered my head. Trying to cool my mind.The letter came from Kak Indra, who was now in the royal capital, Lurivia. After going there to become a soldier, he often sent Kak Shella letters to exchange news. Usually, the content was about life in the capital and how Kak Indra and other friends trained hard. But the letter this time was not something I could read enthusiastically about.It said that an elite cavalry troop was headed to Glafelden Town, and Kak Indra was one of them. Their mission was to bring a 'certain person' from this town. Kak Indra said most likely the target of this mission was me. Because his commander once accidentally said something about a mid-race

A loud thumping sound was created as the wisp of wind smashed against the wall and caused part of the ceiling to collapse. Luminous rocks, dirt, and pebbles rained down from above. Half of the vast square was covered in thick dust, making it impossible to guess where Dimas was.My energy was gone. Chill ran down the spine and gave this body a feeling of intense horror. While hanging on to the root fibers of the Hanarusa tree, my eyes widened. Looking down, hoping that Dimas would immediately come out of the dust and attack the monster's feet like before.However, he still didn't appear even though time had passed. Beads of sweat dripped from my forehead. Not a word was spoken from this mouth while hoping for the best possibility.But when? Until when should I keep hoping? What if that hope never appeared?Negative questions kept coming to my head, making me unable to think clearly. Coupled with excessive indecision and anxiety, my fear is getting worse. I looked up. The exit was just

My eyes locked on two lights shining in the darkness. Part of my brain had sent orders to this body to leave immediately. But some were curious about what was behind the gap in the wall. The feeling of horror was increasingly enveloping my whole body and making me completely numb. Cold sweat started pouring down profusely when my ears caught a growling sound inside the gap. I froze, too shocked and couldn't remember to move. Needless to say, Dimas was frightened too. This was the first time I'd seen his hands shaking like this. Though usually, he was not afraid to face anyone, even though his opponent was the Elvian army.I forced myself free from the stiffness of my body, trying to move my legs little by little."Dimas! Dimas!" I screamed loudly, but the man ignored me. My hand grabbed Dimas' shoulder, then shook his body hard to wake him up."Uh, what?" he answered, looking confused. He was too fixated on a figure and ignored the other stuff."Let's get out of here quick

"No, Fool!" he replied curtly. "Haven't you gotten more of an idiot lately?""I already get it. But you don't really mean to go down there, do you? What if the Spirit Crystals aren't there?""We won't know unless we go, right?"I scratched the back of my head even though it didn't itch. Maybe it was an expression of my frustration when I found out what Dimas meant. At first glance, the idea may seem frivolous. Even though I saw a massive room underground, I wasn't sure what it was.It was like winning the bet if the Spirit Crystal was in that room. Conversely, we might find an underground monster lair. When using Super Sense, I only saw the dirt wall and the roots of the Giant Hanarusa tree. However, down there was still dangerous. It could be that there was a nest of centipedes, worms, or other monsters that were giant in size.However, I'm curious.After thinking for a while, I decided to go down the hole. I stepped to the edge of the hole, squatted down, then tried to put one foot

"S-Sister? S-So you are … Almira's brother? I mean Elywien's?" I asked in a high-pitched voice. "Elywien is my sister. She used to be an intelligence member of this kingdom. Before finally leaving her job and family after marrying a human. Are we talking about the same person?" I immediately covered my wide-open mouth. Unable to contain the shock of such an unexpected coincidence, I shuffled back a little. "Yes, you're right. My friend Almira is indeed Elvian, who eloped with her husband," "How is she now? I haven't seen her in years," Elzhar asked enthusiastically as if he didn't care about the condition of his body that had not fully recovered. "She's fine, really. Indeed she lived a simple life, but she is now happy. I've never met her husband. I think he's a loving husband. Oh, yeah! She also has an adorable five-year-old son, his name is Cedric," Elzhar suddenly smiled, an expression of relief now attached to his face. "Thank God she's happy. I'm glad to hear that," "Don

As the night got late, I found Elvian's words were the truth. The entire forest area was flooded due to springs suddenly appearing everywhere. The water discharge was swift enough to submerge this forest as deep as two meters in a short time.Fortunately, I was already on top of the Hanarusa tree, which was quite high and far from stagnant water. The Elvians called this giant bonsai tree that way. I didn't know where the name came from. At least now I knew the right name for this tree. Then for this forest, they named it the Hanarusa Sacred Forest. It seemed the Elvians respected highly to this forest for some reason I didn't understand."After this, we head to that tree!" exclaimed the limp young Elvian while pointing to a Hanarusa tree near me." We have to make a detour to a deserted place.""Okay," I answered briefly. Then I translated it into the Lurivian language so that it was easy for my friends who didn't speak Elvian to understand.Dimas carried the Elvian carefully on his ba

I sat limply in front of the teenager Elvian, lying helplessly. The sign of life in his eyes faded away, his breath getting weaker. It was only a matter of time until he lost his life.But is this correct?Is killing someone the right thing to do at this time?At first, I just wanted to paralyze him. I never thought the arrow I let out would thrust into his chest. Oh, my god! I didn't want to see someone die in front of my eyes because of me. Imagining the grief that the Elvian family had to go through instantly made my chest hurt.I knew I couldn't be naive. In this journey, there must be a time for me to take the lives of others. But not so fast as this. I wasn't ready to bear the responsibility and guilt of killing people.Deep down, I wanted this teenage Elvian to stay alive. If only I could—."...-ggi. Anggi!!!" Suddenly Dimas' screams echoed in my ears. It was as if the voice had just emerged from the silence."Eh, wh-what

"Are you sure?" asked Shella enthusiastically."Very sure," I answered confidently. "You probably can't. But my eyes could see that many people are walking on the branches and doing activities there.""They made the city on a tree?" now it was Dimas' turn to look very excited."You could see for yourself later."Hearing of a city being built on a tree made them both furious. It was a normal reaction for people from another world like us. Even when I first arrived in Ruvia City, I was just as enthusiastic as them. Looked around with sparkling eyes like a peasant. Looking back, my reaction was even worse."Let's go down immediately!" exclaimed Dimas, who immediately left me, followed by Shella behind him.Geez! They were like little kids impatiently waiting for a birthday present. I also followed the two behind, adjusting the two people's fast-moving footsteps.This small team descended the mountainside quite quickly. We arrived at the

I looked down to confirm what I found, and sure enough, it was the Black Selenium Mushroom. The characteristics were precisely the same as those described by Shella before. This mushroom has dark black color and was shaped like a pouch. From what I remember, the sap of this mushroom was very dangerous when it came into contact with the skin. I better be careful not to hurt myself.I was silent for a moment, thinking about how to pick this thing without touching it. Too bad I didn't have leather gloves to protect my palms.In the darkness, my eyes were caught by the faint glint of the dagger hanging from my waist. That's right! I completely forgot I had this thing.I immediately pulled the dagger from the belt and tried to cut the mushroom's stem. Doing this in the dark without light aid would be difficult for humans. Luckily I had Haier-Elvian's ability.I have been grateful hundreds of times for being blessed with this ability! Although I also swor

My sense of hearing, which was more sensitive than humans, immediately felt excruciating pain. It was as if my eardrum had been pierced by a nail until it penetrated my head. My palms couldn't even hold back the loud sound that came in. Although the howl didn't last long, my energy was drained just to endure the deafening sound.My body almost fell to the ground if my brain didn't give me the command to stay alert. I cast my gaze forward. The bear monster had thick white fur similar to a polar bear, it was about three stories tall. The beast had two pairs of arms and two legs, with a fat, flabby body.I briefly remember the Biology lessons taught in my old world. This monster was similar to Tardigrada, a microscopic animal shaped like a bear. The shape of the head that only had a mouth without eyes was also very similar. I even felt that the monster standing in front of me was initially a Tardigrada who was enlarged with a Doraemon magnifying flashlight, then given a h
