Dark.
Humid.
Silent.
Those words are matched to describe this place. Puddling land, falling leaves, funny smell, this dense swamp is slowing them. Not to mention the slippery and muddy ground that makes ßenlong have to walk really slowly. ßenlong is able to fly, but he feels he is forbidden to fly on this floor. Alfi did ask it why, yet ßenlong didn’t want to answer him. It’s because even I don’t know why I don’t have ßenlong fly away so they can make it real quick.
“5th Floor: Floor of Grim. A dense swamp that full of mysteries.” Jeje explained.
“Mysteries? What do you mean?” Alfi asked.
“I dunno either... Yet, Can’t you feel anything weird?” Jeje asked.
Alfi channels his Iru from his body to every direction to check his surrounding, yet suddenly his Iru returns to his body.
“What the hell? Megumi,
ßenlong keeps ascending those soaring stairs. The stairs look higher than ever. Alfi sees blue light reflected from the window beside him.“Just wondering. What is that blue light thing anyway?”Alfi asked.“It’s called Luna. You can say that it’s the power source for us, the ghosts.”Jeje explained.“Luna? Did you mean Mana?”“Mana is the magical force we possess. Just like the thing you call Iru.”“Then? Does Luna enroll as the light source of this Supernatural Realm only?”“Luna is the most powerful magical force that gods bestowed upon us and it does give us some significant impact.”“And, what is it?”“Luna is the source of our power. Luna's existence is the reason why we are able to unleash our power.”“Oh, so as long as you are under its reach, you are able to use your power, right?&rdq
The scarlet sky can be seen clearly here. This tough terrain does exhaust them. The seventh floor sure is. steep paths and the heated atmosphere burden all of them. Alfi has tried to use the magic curtain to chill them down, yet it didn’t work. The heated atmosphere on this floor is really unbelievable. Not to mention the sulfurs and volcanic ashes that come unexpectedly torment their smelling and visual sense.Alfi has given each of them a mask from the shreds of the magic curtain to prevent them inhale sulfurs or volcanic ashes. It does not chill them down, but at least it can keep them stand on their feet. Not to mentionßenlong has to keep walking while carrying all of them on his back. Those blasphemous friends.“The seventh floor: Kerinci Floor. A steep active volcano full of sulfurs and volcanic ashes.”Jeje explained.“ßenlong, I guess we need to take a break. You look so pale.”Alfi said.&
You can see a big table with five creatures taking a seat around it in that grand room. A gentle classic symphony plays relaxing their minds.“Ah. There’s no better place to relax than this place.”Alfi said.“I’m impressed, Alfi. You are even able to build a 5-star hotel in a jiffy. I wonder what you can do with the power you possess.”Jeje said.“Same here,”Buriko added.“Me too,”Cocong added.“Tell us, Alfi.”Aoi who is crawling on the shred of flying magic curtain said.“You don’t mind, do you?”ßenlong looks curious too.Alfi seems to hesitate to tell them, as however, Doki-Doki is an absurd power. But, seeing their faces makes him unable to refuse to tell them. Explaining what Doki-Doki is may kill time till Megumi brings them the dishes.“All right, I’ll tell you,”Alfi sa
They are just done having their meals and they are ready to continue their journey. Alfi looks in a good shape already that he can manipulate the temperature around them by creating silver Iru orbs that float around them. Those orbs are like the ice that chills down the temperature around it.“Good grief you told us the story,ßenlong. Listening to it makes me wonder about what I can do with my Iru. Thank you.”Alfi said.“Don’t mention it.”ßenlong replied while running to the stair to the eighth floor.“Well, I am curious, to be honest. Actually, I planned to create a UFO for us to ride, but why are you so persistent to give us a ride?”Alfi asked.“It’s for my personal training program.”ßenlong replied.“But I don’t want you-”“Enough already. I don’t want to hear that from you. I”m fine, okay? And yo
They’ve reached the ninth floor already. They find themselves in a warm-impressed room. A light yellow wall, colorful piled floor, and big windows gone through by that blue Lune illumination, yet the room isn’t illuminated by that blue illumination. The room is like illuminated by LED ones like in a department store. The windows might have been enchanted that any light that goes through it will be converted into a white one that they illuminate the room with white light.To put it simply, the windows are the lamps of this room. You can say that Luna is the electricity and the windows will produce illumination through the Luna current that they receive. Enough already. I’m not a science and technology bachelor anyway. Why should I explain this to you? Yup, science, and technology. We are talking about how the windows produce the light and we are talking about windows, right? Nevermind, carry on.“Is it really the place?”Alfi hesitates
That old man is taking a seat on his throne watching that white screen that is showing Alfi’s party ascending the stairs to the tenth floor.“Interesting, Alfa. I can’t believe you could make it this far. But, can you defeat the guardian of that floor?”He said.“Excuse me, my Lord... Reporting.”He hears a heavy voice.Yet, no one’s there but himself.“What is it, Biyung?”He asked.“It looks like there’s a UFO heading to our territory, waiting for your command, my Lord.”“A UFO? What does it look like?”He asked.“I am not really sure, but it does look like a giant rooster bowl flying through the sky in our direction.”“Oh, so they are coming.”He smirked.“What do you mean, my Lord?”“They are the allies of the Alfa. It looks like they are planning to save him. D
They find themselves in a quiet graveyard. There’s nothing particular but gravestones and strong-smelling thin mist. The trees around them look old and most of them are dead ones that give such an eerie impression for this place.ßenlong walks really carefully as the guardian of this floor might appear anytime. All they can see are old and dirty gravestones with jasmine petals around them. As expected of a graveyard: Too quiet. They do feel an awkward atmosphere as they advance.“You know Alfi, I never like a graveyard,”Aoi said.”The last place to sleep for all living beings always gives blue and gloomy vibes, right?”She said sadly.“Well, anyone will die, won’t die?”Alfi said briefly.”But why does death exist anyway?”He added.“It’s because of life existence.”ßenlong cut.”Human starts by being born and ends by be
Alfi finds himself in an empty space with Megumi on his side. There’s nothing interesting here. It’s just dark and quiet.“Am I dead?”He asked to himselfNot yet, youdumbass!Some head start for the new volume, eh? Oh well, I got complained by some people about me putting some swearing words on this story. So, in order to fulfill their old school needs, I unwillingly put some censorship on it. Censoring the punchline? Please give me a break already.Megumi holds his right arm immediately. He averts his gaze to her blue face. The blue face of her does tell him that she is terrified right now. Not to mention the tear trail on her thin cheeks does confirm that she is afraid.“No... Not yet, hun.”Megumi holds his arm tightly like a girl holding her plushie.Seeing her like this makes Alfi reluctant to say a thing to her. He remembers that Le
