“Big brother, why would snakes have anti-venom…? Aren’t they only capable of producing venom? Like, if they bite their tongue by mistake with their venomous fangs, they die.”
My little sister, Restia, who successfully extracts the Ricinus Communist pollen from that man in just seven minutes, overheard my conversation between Alpha Fenrir. Perhaps curiosity dwells within her. While approaching me, she throws such a line to me.
“Yes, that’s only for normal venomous snakes,” I replied. “The White Snake is a magical beast— its body is built differently compared to normal snakes, so I’m pretty sure there must be anti-venoms within him.”
“It’s a ‘her’.” Alpha Fenrir told me.
I see… so she’s a female.
“What are you trying to do, child…?” Alpha Fenrir furrowed his brows. “Her scales are hard— no guns and bullets, or e
The forest.In an unfamiliar terrain.“Growl…!”“Don’t think! Just run forward— Restia, incoming icicles…!”“Obice!” (Barrier!)Extending her hand towards the incoming icicles, Restia summons a giant magic circle to block them from us.“Big brother— two leopards are coming from the right!”“Grawr…!”“Don’t worry, leave it to me…!”In response towards the pouncing snow leopard, with precise timing, I shift his trajectory with my scabbard with the least effort, directing it away from grabbing onto Fenrir’s daughter.“Grawr…!?”It slams on the bushes nearby.“Growl…!!!”BAM!With her still running forward while following the smell, Fenrir’s daughter slams the other one back to the right with her head.“Wel
Once upon a time, on this island.There lived two supreme magical beasts— The Black Cats of Misfortune and The White Snakes of Serenity.During that time, every magical beast within this forest lives in harmony because of the well-management from The Black Cats and The White Snakes.However, things start to change ever since the birth of a perfect-black cat.Ever since that perfect-black cat was born, both The White Snake and Black Cat tribe’s population gradually becomes smaller because they died from an unknown reason.Everyone believed it was because of the perfect-black cat. Ever since she was born, this forest is haunted by death itself.That’s why both The Black Cats and The White Snakes decided to kill this accursed child. Day and night— they searched for this Black Cat.The perfect-black cat, ever since she was born— is protected by her parents from both of the tribes.Until one day—
Living room. As soon as we carried Restia and Ruby to the sofa, I went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast while Principal is recovering Restia’s mana deficiency with his own mana. As for Dómr and the other magical beasts, they were out hunting as training. “…Here.” Placing the bowl on the table with a resounding clatter, I patted Principal’s shoulder, which he turned, glancing at the bowl. “Meatball soup noodles?” He muttered, looking dissatisfied. “…Yeah. I didn’t have a proper meal for the past few days— I can’t eat fried or spicy food for these few days.” Even if I had a deteriorating body, I still need to stay healthy to live for another six years. “And what does this have to do with me?” He uttered. Did he dislike noodles? I recall the cup noodles that Nightwalker prepared for him yesterday; he opposed it as well. Anyways, he had his sounding point. After all, Principal made a complete recovery fro
19th July, 8.49 a.m. After waking up as I sit on the front yard before breakfast, a new friend which came out from a rabbit hole, comes close to me and jumps on my lap, enjoying my stroke on her body with her purring. Until one of its kind showed up. BOP. BOP. BOP. With the back of her feet stomping my lap, it means she’s afraid of him. “Why is this pink-coloured thing afraid of me…!?” A man with white hair, red eyes, like an appearance of a white rabbit, stands next to me. “Thing…? It’s a Fortune Rabbit.” Saying that, I stroke the pink rabbit on her back, where she calms down and rests on my lap once again. “What is that? A rabbit that brings good luck?” “Yes.” “…I need to borrow her for a while.” BOP BOP BOP. Hearing that, the rabbit stomps her foot on my feet again— and with a quick pace. “No gambling.” I uttered. “Don’t you want to be rich?” “Money does
Current time: 8.14 p.m. “NYA!!!” BROOOOM!!!!!!!!!! By the time we arrive at the battle scene— the cat, summons a lightning strike from above at the snake. Actually, by summoning lightning… it’s more like turning bad-luck into misfortune— adding this horrible weather, she turns the snake’s bad luck into misfortune, thus, as lightning strikes, it would strike her. “E-Eek………………...!” Restia inadvertently shrieks from the lightning. Currently, we are hiding behind the bushes and trees near them, while under the protection of an invisible barrier that’s able to fabricate their view on us as invisible and blocks out sound from reaching them. That man is the one maintaining the barrier. The trees nearby the cat and the snake breakdown on the centre of their trunks while burning in flames, it might be because of the lightning strike. Some of the other trees are blackened, crumbling, withering and rotting. It might be bec
That human— that human died. Once again, in front of my eyes— eaten alive by the snake. And here I was again— being carried away without being able to do anything. “Grawr…!” THUD! Even if I fell to the ground, I felt nothing. There’s no pain. As I look, I find the leopard collapsing on the ground, not moving anymore. Just like that time. It’s my fault. If I hadn’t attacked the human or offer myself to the snake that time— they probably would’ve survived. Ever since I was born, I’ve spent years running away from both my own kin and the white snakes. What was the meaning for me to be born? What was the meaning for only me to live on? The moment the old white snake dies, my heart died along with it. Those years while living like a stray cat, living on without a purpose. But I was wrong. I was just afraid of death. That’s why I blinded myself an
After the Snake spits me out from her mouth, we quickly head to where the cat and the snow leopard are, hiding behind the bushes with the same barrier casting around us earlier. The reason the Snow Leopard Queen is able to escape from the thick chains and arrive here is because of Restia. She… made a change of plans behind everyone. She believes in Snow Leopard Queen’s ability to persuade the cat. All she needs to do is to recall the cat’s trauma as a stimulant. Through the wolf, she translates their language to Restia, then to me. However, things aren’t going as well as she planned— because the cat is still not completely gone insane. “If I’m with him… I know I can definitely forget about the pain. But it’s already too late— IT’S TOO LATE.” The cat said while groaning. The cat’s love for me is insane— even though we only met once. …I don’t hate it. If I don’t stop her now, there’s no turning back for her this t
If you are wondering what kind of person my dad is, then the appropriate term to describe him would be a ‘researcher’. My dad is a person that’s continuously brimming with curiosity. As long as there is anything in this world that could pique his interest, he would dive into study and research, regardless of what is it. For example, history, engineering, magic, arts, music, martial arts, humans, animals, plants, language, psychology, culture, society, religion, sports, et cetera. He had no specific interest. Of course, my dad would get bored at some particular point— and that is the point where he completed his ‘research’. Though he may seem to be busy at all times— there are certain things he never neglects— his family and his faith towards the ‘God of Creation’. I’ve spent time watching my father from behind, and I always believed that my father is a person who does not believe in such thing as the existence of ‘celestial gods’.
