《After the Game Over》


 Chapter 1 : Im Coming!

    The reddish sunshine emanating from the western horizon of the city was followed by several clouds that line up above this city, make a scenery looks more beautifull in the evening sky.


    There is a young man wearing white clothes with a black jacket and black pants was seen walking in a small street while carrying several plastic bags in his hand.


    Along the street, that young man greeted the few people he met, ranging from children to old ones.


    Lucius Altdorf is a 23-year-old Asian who works as an accountan in a small company close to where he lives. Even though now he has been fired for a some reason.


    Greeting everyone he meets is one of the things he can do, to bid his time and to forget the events that have passed recently. Even though previously Lucius felt that was a useless activity and only wasted his precious times.


    But that''s how life is it, sometimes weirds and full of twist and turn point.


    After a few minutes of walking, Lucius arrived in front of the house whose walls were painted in white colours. A house with an address at number 14 Block II, which is seen from the outside of the house the white paint has been peeling away from those walls. This is Lucius''s house, after the death of his parents.


    Reaching into his pants pocket Lucius grab a small key which he immediately put into the keyhole and rotated it, then immediately entered his house.


    Lucius immediately went to the kitchen and opened his plastic bag to bring out some items such as vegetables, eggs, milk boxes, and of course few pack of instant noodles.This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    Although living alone with a few money, Lucius always maintains his health by consuming healthy food and do some exercise, even though it is only done by him several times a month. Still, it keeps him healthy and doesn''t get sick easily.


    After all the items are done, Lucius headed to his room.


    At the door of his room there was a word "Lucius" written in red colour.


    In his room there is a bed for one person, a medium-sized cupboard and a mirror on it and a computer on his desk also a few stacked boxes with many dust in the corner of his room. A room that looks simple.


    Leaning his tired body on the bed, Lucius let out a sigh. His eyes stared blankly at the ceiling of his room, imagining what he had passed since he was a child until he was an adult now.


    What''s fresh in his memory is why he was fired only with trivial problems. A problems that once somenone asking for "SORRY!" and everything can be resolved in a flash.


    But in fact bad luck still befell on him despite apologizing, repeatedly. Bad shit luck of course.


    ¡°Hah¡­¡±


    And with the sigh that was released again, he rose from his bed looking around his room with his tired black eyes.


    After seeing what he was looking for, he got up from his bed and walked to the corner of his room.


    Unload the stack of boxes one by one and finally pick up one of the medium sized box.


    After he considered it is right what was he looking for, carefully - he took it to the edge of his bed, blowing dust that settled on the box.


    After the dust on it disappeared or at least diminished, he opened the box and took out a round black object that looked like a helmet with the Dream Reality Network written on it.


    Then Lucius let out a smile and said in a confident tone that from nowhere came, seeing himself previously filled with gloom atmosphere.


    ""World of Order" I am coming!"

 Chapter 2 : The Game is Over

    After preparing various needs that must be done before playing a VR game such as take a bath, a nature calls and so on, Lucius lay on the bed and wore his Dream Reality Network helmet.


    He slowly closed his eyes and said, "On."


    His vision turned dark, then turned back to light and there was a floating word in front of him "WELCOME URIEL ZENILLA" and after feeling a little dizzy, Lucius tried to adjust his body and his vision.


    Now Lucius found himself sitting on a throne chair, overlooking a large room decorated with various ornaments that made him feel so magnificent and gave the atmosphere that those who saw this they will believe this is a Fantasy World. Well of course this is a Fantasy World.


    In the room there were twenty pairs of luxurious chairs facing each other on the edge of this room giving a space of 5 - 6 meters in the middle of room with big red carpet on it and there is no table in this room. A pair of large doors made from mixed orichalcum and mithril stood proudly in front of this room.


    A throne room that he designed as one of the Lord, with his chuunibyou-ness.


    Lucius feels warm after seeing this room again and a small smile appeared to form above his lips.


    ''At least I can forget the unpleasant events in the real world'' he thought cheerfully.


    Now Lucius was wearing a fancy black outfit with silver embroidery, a robe with a silver dragon logo and a sword hanging on his waist, he also wore a silver crown above his black hair.


    Everything feels right in place when Lucius wear it, who is alfterall a native Asian with black hair and black eyes with pale white skin.


    After checking the last outfit he had worn before retiring three years ago Lucius smiled lightly and muttered.


    "Hah ... I finally got into World of Order. It''s been 3 years since the last time I played this game, does Zen still play this game?"


    Zen is the only one of Lucius''s close friends since junior high school and also a friend who always accompanied Lucius when playing World of Order games since it launched 11 years ago.


    But when Zen made a big Guild with his other friends and tried to get Lucius to join in, Lucius refused Zen for a reasons that could be considered childish like, "I''m not used to playing with strangers" or "I''m more used to playing alone".


    After rejecting Zen''s request, Lucius decided to make the Solo Guild with NPCs as members who burn a lot of his money just to make a NPCs and buy many gears.


    That is, when the Guild owned by Zen managed to conquer a many of kingdoms in the Continent of Lordas the only continent in the "World of Order", Lucius only made a city called Zenilla in a no-name-land in the corner of the Lordas Continent.If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    The city he owned was a small town at the foot of a rocky mountain which was divided into 2 parts, the outer part which was on the surface and the inside which was an underground city with Dwarven styles.


    The surface part of Zenilla is divided into three districts separated by a 20 meter high wall, namely the outer area for common folk and a trading place, a middle area for nobles and high ranking soldiers, and a core area stand a high building that half of it meddle into the mountain named Dark Castle.


    The underground part of Zenilla is divided into four regions with three walls separated it, namely the outer part of the walls as a mine, the inside first walls as the house of common folk, the middle part as a market place and the business center and finally the core for the barracks is located in the bottom of Dark Castle.


    And finally with his hard work and his now empty pocket, the city became one of a famous city and can be considered able to rival the top 50 guilds as a Solo Guild.


    "This is the Power of Cash!" Said Lucius, who at that time laughed like crazy.


    Lucius who can''t wait, began to sweep his finger in the air vertically, trying to bring up his Friend List screen.


    The result is, nothing. Nothing appear.


    Confused because of the action he had done hundreds of thousands of times every time he wanted to call his only close friend, Lucius repeatedly tried to repeat his actions, again and again.


    One. Two. Three. Four. And finally after the tenth trying.


    "Fuxk! I got a bug!"


    Finally with sweat that flooded his forehead and his back, Lucius gave up swearing and cursing then leaned his body into the chair behind him.


    Lucius reflexively sweeps his forehead that''s many beads of sweat on it with his left hand.


    Suddenly Lucius straightened his back and raised his hand that he had used to wipe his sweat.


    He looked carefully at his left hand that now looked pale, trembling and of course filled with sweat.


    "Ahhhh!"


    "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Why is there sweat on DDMMO-RPG!? Ehehehe, this must be the latest Pacth. Hehehe that is right! This is the latest Pacth to get player to feel the real Virtual Reality is! Errr ... but when did I install it? Ehehehe who cares, maybe it''s Zen that installs it for me .. "


    Lucius said as he tried to calm himself, even though it made his body more trembled and sweat increasingly flooded his black clothes.


    Bang!


    "Milord, are you okay !?"


    "Master !?"


    "I come!"


    Suddenly, the door opened with bang and several people entered the room shouting with panic. They walked towards Lucius in a haste.


    As they were stood in front of Lucius they showed a worried face and one of them asked while raising one of his eyebrows. Obviously his face looked worried.


    "Master do you feel bad?"


    Lucius who saw their reaction, their words and their faces felt a tremendous headache. Sweat flows like a waterfall all over his body.


    And finally his view became dark.


    ¡­


    At another place.


    "So what do you think of "Dark and Light" the newest DDMMO-RPG?"


    "I think this game is a perfection of the previous DDMMO-RPG "World of Order" because ..."


    On a television program, a host was asking questions to a young man with blond hair that wearing a white clothes. A Question about a new DDMO-RPG.


    "Then do you prefer "World of Order" or "Dark and Light" as the most impresive game at the moment?"


    "I think "Dark and Light" is most impressive game I know, as I said just now in terms of its game, graphics and "REALITY". And the "World of Order" has its own impression, which is also the progenitor of the fantasy world named "Virtual Reality". Despite some shortcomings in this game, compared to "Dark and Light", my answer is, I still chose "World of Order""


    Said the blond-haired young man with a broad smile.


    "Hahaha is right."


    "So how¡­"


    Regardless of what the host said, Zen as the blond man was called, somehow showed a sad face and muttered under his breaths.


    "Well, unfortunately¡­ "World of Order" was closed 2 years ago."

 Chapter 3 : Different World, Different Problems

    My eyes felt heavy and my head felt like to burst. It feels like there is a worm that enters your brain and writhes in excitement while sucking your brain fluid. Horrible.


    "Ughhh .."When I opened my eyes what I found was a dark room and I was lying on a bed which was most likely my bed at home. Yes, right this is my home. Not something like otherworld right?


    Could it just be a nightmare because a while ago I was just fired?


    "Aisshh, it turns out I got a big mental burden because of being fired, weakling." I sighed while holding my head which still felt dizzy.


    I pushed my body from the bed, stood up with my wobbly legs and tried to reach the wall where the light switch of my room was.


    And with the darkness of this room I walked with caution - I was afraid I will kicked the wrong item on the floor and make it broken or hurts my feet. I then tried to touch the walls of my room that felt cold and search for the light switch on it and all I found was, nothing. Again, I lament.


    My back starts to get wet with cold sweat again. And in my mind I can only shout with agony.


    ''Fuck! I think that''s real! ''


    I weakly leaned against the wall of my room. The coldness of the wall plus my now drenched clothes makes the cold seep to the marrow of my bones.


    My mind was spinning for a few minutes until finally I tightened my jaw and shouted on top of my lungs.


    "Fuck! If I really summoned to another world or whatever I have to be strong, so I can live to my role and disires! I''m Lucius Altdorf is a Lord of Zenille! One of the Five Legends! I will conquer this world with my power! Shit for the God or Goddess who sent me to this damn world!"


    Lucius said fiercely with flaming eyes that could be seen in the darkness of the room.


    At that time the moon behind the clouds appeared to show the light that added to the impression that Lucius''s words would come true.


    And that night a Lord was reborn after the game over.


    ¡­


    "Ah! Who changed my clothes!? "


    ¡­


    Still on the same night in the throne room.


    There is a young man sitting on a throne in a fancy black suit with silver embroidery and a silver dragon symbol on his robe. On his head is decorated with a crown made of pure silver without any decoration. At the man''s waist there was a black scabbard made of shark skin and a sword on it that would look silver in colour when removed from it is sheath.


    Self confidence and a sense of authority radiated from his black eyes that is look likes bottomless abyss.


    And from his body you can feel the radiating power that saying "Obey me!"


    An image that makes anyone who sees it will immediately want to kneel and even worship before the man.


    This man was Lucius! Different from yesterday, a man who was so nervous and trembling when he accepted reality. This is the REAL Lucius in his castle also the Lord of his city that will become his mighty kingdom!


    A man who will be known as Lucius Altdorf Uriel Zenilla!


    ¡­


    In front of the man there were 19 people who were all kneeling.


    They are the Pillars of the city of Zenilla.Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    10 of 11 King''s Right Hand


    4 Aristocrat Family


    Shadow''s Watcher


    Dark Mantel


    Dark Luster Knight


    Black Sword


    Black Shield.


    All of them are NPCs created by Lucius while still playing "World of Order" which spends more than hundreds of dollars per one character, especially those who are at the Max level. Most of the gear they used is the designed by Lucius himself even though some of them are wearing the gear from Gacha, but all of that also spends alot of his money.


    All this was done by Lucius because he did not want to lose to Zen, his good friend and also because he wanted to make his own world surrounded by NPCs who while in the game could only speak simply according to the command control installed on them not speak with their own thought.


    DDMMO-RPG "World of Order" is the first game that uses the "Virtuality" program and because of this the game itself referred as "Ancestor of VR games". Created by Dream Reality Network Company, which has been researching for more than 10 years with the help of various scientists and game designers on it''s teams.


    In this game you can have many job classes that game provided to reach Maximum Level 100, the level of several job classes varies from Max Level 5 for Unique Classes, Max Level 10 for Rare Classes, and Max Level 15 for Common Classes.


    But that is also with risk of course, because the various job classes in the game may helped each other job classes or may collided with each other job classes. And if you choose a lot of job classes, you will become a trash character who doesn''t have high skills.


    Like a say before the game itself has many interesting features, you can make your own character NPC''s! And some popular features in RPG games such as Gacha features that require real money or coin in the game itself, make a Multy Guild or Solo Guild, have your own town, qonquer other kingdoms and etc.


    Even when the game still available the Gacha system is the most cash-player seek!


    Because of that Lucius wasted his money like crazy by making his own NPC''s, and he often used to Gacha to get Gear, NPC, or other objects he collected in the treasure room like a junk.


    It''s just because 3 years ago since Lucius''s parents died he stopped playing game and since then he went to work after studying in collegue even though his inheritance is quite large it will still run out if he continues to use it, or so his thought. There is no time to play anymore, because the time he uses is only enough to study, work and rest.


    And with them (His NPC''s) in this foreign world Lucius was confident enough that he could become the ruler of this whole world. Well at least be a Legend again, no problem.


    And what needs to be known is that this world is NOT the "World of Order" because in the previous game the world''s moons was red and the world itself have two moons, one was large while the other smaller than the first. AND in this new world only have ONE moon and it looks like the normal the moon on earth.


    So Lucius must became a worthy leader to achieving his new goals. Unlike other characters who are used to wear a collar in his neck to be guided whenever other people want to be.


    Lucius closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Now he is READY. Now is the time to speak like a TRUE LEADER.


    ¡­


    "My comrades as we know we are in another world now, a world that is foreign to us. I want us to find out what world we live in today. Is that the same world as our old world?"


    I stopped for a moment and looked at the 19 people, their head it is still looked down so I couldn''t see the reaction of their faces. Will this work? Whatever just continue this shitty speech!


    "With that your first task is I want some of you to point out your trusted people to find out the answer to our question just now. Look up to a radius of 500 km first with Shadow Holder as the unit leader to enter foreign territory. I want a report within 48 hours from now. "


    I said again in one breath. I don''t know if my words (which I consider it weird) managed to persuade them, because what I did in the game was to give a few simple commands that appear automatically in the game, not through complicated conversations that make my tongue dry.


    Luckily when I saw they all nodded their head in response, I got more confident and continued.


    "Second, to make our people not panic, I want you to keep them inside the wall for a while, don''t let anyone come out of the wall. And because of it I want Dark Mantel to immediately tell the public our situation and catch the criminals around us, use data from Shadow''s Watcher efficiently to catch them. And in the Underground District I want you to make a 100 meters space from the outer wall and find out if there are mineral sources or danger under this mountain. I want this task to be carried out immediately for the safety all of us the people of Zenilla!"


    "Rar brought the Prying Orb with you, I''m sure it can help you with this mission. And for those who don''t join the task back to your post."


    Rar is the Head of Shadow''s Watcher the place for Spy and Asassin group of mine.


    Rar an Argonian that''s always wears a black hood now he¡¯s advances before me and receives a small transparent ball crystall from my hand. After he received the item he returned to the line with the others.


    "May you succeed in the task!"


    I close my words with a flick of my sleeve. The 19 of them stood up and bowed to me with their right hands above their chests and yelled.


    "Yes My lord!" They said with a bow and with that they all turned, out of my throne room.


    I lean against my chair while massage my forehead. Tired of emotional pressure.


    "Phew ..This shit will happen many times in the future"


    Hmm ... it turns out being a Lord is quite difficult.


    Maybe I have to study how to acting again?


    ¡­


    Hah ... I hope I''m became a skelleton that can suppress his emotions!


    But ... hell no! Human its still the best!


    ¡­

 Chapter 4 : (Foolish) Plan and First Clash

    Still in black attire, I stood on the highest floor of my castle (well it¡¯s like more rooftop than a floors) and in my back there was a garden with various flowers embedded on it make my gloomy caslte looks more vibrant and beautiful, weird somehow because my castle is known as a Dark Castle but it¡¯s rooftop full of flowers.


    My shoulder-lenght hair flaping in the spring breeze that still felt cold in my skin, probably still carrying the remnants of the winter air that had just passed.


    This castle has a height about 50 meters, made with black mountain rocks and coated with Black Iron, each of which is given a rune that can be interpreted as "Hard" on it.


    Not too fancy actually when compared to other large guilds that coated their walls with Adamantium and various other types of runes which currently more expensive and hard to make.


    I looked at the city right under my sight that now was bustling with activities. Many different races people chit ¨C chating, make a jokes, or go.. dating? In the morning? Seriously?


    And actually about an hour ago I saw the team that I was assigned to inspect the surrounding area ride on various kinds of Beast like Fire Salamander, Lightning Bear and Ancient Deer, walking arrogantly and full of pride in the middle of streets that full of citizens.


    So much pride that make me want to throw up just by looking at it. Or maybe it¡¯s just a fa?ade to cover their anxiousness or it¡¯s a warrior stuff to stick out their chest?


    Also I saw some people listening to the announcement from Dark Mantel members, a special forces who served as city police. Well the people remained calm and there was no riot happen, even though some of them were still questioning the Dark Mantel about what had happened. Easy, no worries.


    And I can see from here that some of the farmers house who live outside the walls and a majority of the farms disappear entirely and are replaced by vast rock hills and pine trees with some shrubbery.


    Also some reports came to me this morning that the mine inside the Underground area disappeared with the people inside it, as I thought.


    And I can only hope this doesn''t become even worse or became more shitty. I hope.


    Looking back at the activity in the city, I remembered my life a few years ago when I just a naive and pure kid ... Err, I guess?


    Yep, I''m not completely a person who likes to close myself or bacame a nerd, sometimes I also like the boisterauness of the city. And when I was a kid a few times I dreamed to enter the world of Fantasy and become an Adventures on it, actually became a hero/knight to save a bauty of course.


    And that can be realized with the release of the "World of Order" and unfortunately I can''t live my life as an Adventurer as it should.


    You know when I was just sticking to Zen or just playing alone when Zen was offline. Even though at that time I had several friends and acquaintances, but no. I prefer to be a Solo Player like some main character from novel I read and this is it I became a dark armored magic swordman.


    And after thinking it back, I want became a True Adventurer and follow the right way to become as one of them.


    Hmm right, being a true Adventures during the day and becoming a Lord at the night.


    Aish, why do I feel I''ve heard the same words but different meaning?


    I mean, being a good person during the day and being a bastard at the night? Right?


    I''ve decided! I will be the True Adventurer!


    And besides, some tasks don''t require me to take action instantly, right? And I have subordinates who I can count for 24 hours a day!


    At least 6 ¨C 8 hours each days also not too bad.


    There is no harm!


    Hehehe...


    ¡­


    We depart when the sun has just appeared in the east and the fog still hangs over this mountain, maybe more appropriate to call it mountains.


    While riding a Fire Salamander our eyes were wide open in the midst of the cold winds that was blowing hard, watching every bend and descent of this mountain even the shadows were not spared from it. Still doubt what we will find in this foreign world.


    Right, foreign world.


    It is strange because what we remember just like an ordinary day without any incident just like another days, until midnight our Lord, Uriel Zenille told us that our city appeared in a foreign world.If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.


    I still remember, in the afternoon on the previous day I still walked around the city without meet any suspicios sign. Even the gatekeepers who opened their eyes that night did not see any strange events such as portals or anything.


    Aware of the dangers, my father Agis Lohr the Head of Lohr Family, one of the 4 Aristocrat Families was summoned into the castle along with the others Families Head and other Departemen.


    When he backs with a sour face and brings the news, I can''t even believe what he says.


    I mean, our city is one of the most respected cities in the entire continent and our Lord is one of 5 legends. Is there anyone who can do this without getting caught? And is there a gigantic spell that can move us to another world just in the blink of eye without anyone noticing? Probably no. Of course it will different if it''s a god or goddess who do this.


    And my Father told me that Lord Uriel had given the order to find out if there other intellegent creature''s settlemen or clue of it, to find out infomartion of this world.


    Hearing that, of course I was immediately excited, because who wasn''t?


    The previous world I live in was fully explored without leaving a single point unxplored, even the most hidden cave already been discovered a long time ago. Maps are everywhere and sold out at fairly cheap prices and even the most commoner citizens can afford to buy a part of it like kingdoms map.


    Isn''t this an adventure that I dream about? An adventure that will bring my name written in history and sung by Bard in the Tavern/Inn or maybe in all cities even the world?


    I impatiently asked my father to give me a command post, which after he thought it was good to train me and approve my request. My sister Nanya Lohr also asked to participated in this mission and my Father approved it without thinking. A papa¡¯s daughter it¡¯s.


    And here we are with 25 people alltogheter as a team, consisting of 15 people from my Lohr Aristocrat Family, 2 people from Dark Luster Knights, 5 people from Black Sword, and 3 people from Shadow Wachter act as scouts in front of us.


    After a few hours walking to the east and parting with the other 3 groups few hours ago, the area we currently walked had changed from mountains full of rocks and little shrubbery and some trees to a forest filled with tall pine trees that shadowing the ground below it¡¯s branch.


    Of course when we walked up to there we faced with some problems. Some monsters came and tried to attack our group, which of course we opposed back, we managed to kill most of them and caught some of them for future research and put them in the Obsidian Prison Cage which could shrink and enlarge to a palm size. Practical tool.


    Even some people look busy recording and discussing these creatures according to their physical characteristics and abilities until now. A scholar type people and mostly of them is a wizard or a mage that highly sought about because of their rarestness. Just think of it 1 of 100 born will have a mana pool that will contain mana and can be cultivated became a wizard or a mage at least. Even sometimes I will envy of them.


    Looking at my group behind, I spot my sister Nanya walking alongside a man named Kriri from the Dark Luster Knight Department. Which I immediately showed an unpleasant face.


    Of course I was unhappy. Nanya was the first daughter of Lohr Aristocrat Family, with her status as the Lohr family and Lord Uriel''s fianc¨¦, she has very lofty status even within my family, so she must not be seen with any other men out of her league.


    Kriri was a former thug, a womanizer behind his stern appearance and he was indeed a lucky person to be able to enter the Dark Luster Department in my opnion. Just a frog that lust over the swan meat.


    This will be a big problem if there are strange rumors spread to the public or even the worst to the Lord Uriel himself. Not only she will saved from it, but our family will also not be tolerated.


    I had to speak immediately to my sister before a big problem arose or there will be an enddles problem await us


    When I was thinking about what advice I should talk to my sister, I heard the sound of low-pitched bird whistling and one of the people from Shadow''s Wacther spurred her mounts to be faster, which of course we too followed it.


    Tch, I forgot there is the Shadow''s Wacther or what is known as King''s Eyes - peoples that give full loyalty to Lord Uriel untill they die or even became a ghost. I hope they don''t tell the things about Nanya walking alongside Kriri.


    Running quickly past through trees and bushes is one of Fire Salamander''s abilities. So passing through a thick forest is not a problem for us.


    In front of us there were two people in black robes who were riding two Terror Lizards who stood using their back legs, clever animals use to sneak in because their bodies colours were black and green mostly and the sound of their feet was barely audible.


    One of those Shadow¡¯s Watcher who had been with us or whom we called Purple approached the two of them and that three people gave each other a weird signal, because what you see was they just looked at each other with their masked face without a sound or any other signal.


    After a while Purple turned to us and said with a hoarse voice, "There are some people in front of us ... but they are all Apes."


    The one who heard it was immediately dumbfounded and said to my mind ¡®A group of.. apes? What?¡¯


    Feeling strange I about what she says asked back to Purple, ¡°Are you sure? And if so, how could you think of a group of ¡®apes¡¯ same as a ¡®peoples¡¯?"


    "You can see it for yourself," Purple said as she shrugged her shoulders.


    I feel annoyed at Purple''s behavior, which I do know that all of the Shadow ¡¯Watchers do behave like b*tch except to Lord Uriel himself.


    Only able to resist my emotions and I pushmy Fire Salamander to go forward


    "Are you sure you want to see it? We think they are dangerous," Purple says with nonchalant voice while looked at me. I can tell that b*cth mocked me under her mask.


    Ignoring her I urge my mount to walk. I stop my mount in the front and hide behind the trees, what I see is a group of people wearing Iron Armor and wearing Black Animals Fur on their bulky bodies, not some Apes like Purple and her friends said.


    When I still seized them up, one of them turned his head and sees me behind the trees and now I can clearly see their faces. Now we looked each other, golden eyes and large flat nose with wrinkled black faces that really resemble apes.


    The ape¡¯s face changed after seeing me and from his mouth came a loud deafening roars.


    "Hooman! Grraahhhhh!"


    And with that cry the other apes turned around and dashing towards us with their arms holding weapons.


    Seeing it, I could only take out my sword and hold it tight while saying.


    "Damn, I''m screwed."

 Chapter 5 : A New Plan

    In a crowded market, a young man wearing a white shirt and a brown pants was seen bargaining with one of the dealers at one of the weapons stalls there.


    "Come on! 5 silver coins are enough for this poor sword!"


    Said the young man, pointing at the sword he was holding towards the dealers who was an orc.


    "Hey boy, if you want to buy a weapon with just 5 silver coins you can buy this knife, looks it¡¯s handy for you! If you don''t want to, get out here!"


    The dealers said with a shout. His saliva flying in all directions from his wide open mouth.


    "Who wants a knife to cut vegetables! All right, I''ll pay this sword of yours at full price! 8 silver coins! Hmph!"


    The dealers could only shake his head and continue his activities without paying attention to the young man who was now starting to smile.


    The young man was Lucius who immediately carry out his (stupid) plan.


    With a stupid smile he hooked the sword to his belt and continued his journey in the market district.


    "Heh ... I didn''t expext i can bought this sword at 8 silver coins with it''s original price reaching 10 silver coins! I know I''m talented in bargaining! If only i can bargained the merchandise on the supermarket near my house on earth!"


    In the "World of Order" usually the items that sold by NPCs and systems cannot be bargained at all and many items have very expensive price that will make you weep because of it.


    Of course, with the lack technology at that time, it did not allow items to be bargained from an NPC''s because they just like an old RPG game in your PC.


    Lucius walked there and here just to buy merchandise that he considered attractive enough and put it in his Spatial Pouch that was tied to his waist.


    Lucius''s Spatial Pouch is a bit special because it is connected to treasurry rooms and can only be used by a Lucius himself.


    After being content for some items that can be considered as a junks, Lucius stopped in front of a two-story building, in front of it''s building there was a large board with a word "Fighter''s Tavern" written on it.


    While rubbing his chin Lucius saying. "Fighter''s Tavern? I don''t remember to made this place. Whatever, maybe there''s something interesting inside "


    While shrugging his shoulders he stepped into the building.


    When Lucius entered the building he was stunned by what he saw.Inside is seen a ring located in the middle of the building and in there 2 people are fighting, kicking and punching.


    Well not a man actually but a bulky Orc and a big Minotaur.


    Many of the spectators from various races who sat around tables with their friend or scattered around the ring, shouted while raising their food and glasses or maybe pounding the tables with their big, muscular hands.


    The shouts of the two people that fighting were submerged by laughter and shouts from the audience as there were also several people who make a bet on them, shake their pockets until there was the sound of coins jingling inside it and laugh after that.


    You could say this is a Boxing place with a noisy bar on it. An interesting combination for a tavern.


    When Lucius was looking at the unusual appearance of this tavern, he felt a hand at his shoulder.


    Looking at the hand came from, he found a young woman wearing a faded-brown maid outfit with a black skirt smiling kindly at him while pulling back her hand.


    The young woman was seen around 17-18 years old with a height of about 165 -170 cm.


    She has a long brown hair, an oval face with blue eyes and pink lips that look like always smiling.Her skin, which was slightly brownish in color, just added more attractiveness to the young woman.


    Still with her friendly smile the woman opened her mouth and a melodious voice coming from it.


    "Excuse me sir, do you need anything?"


    "Ah ... of course?"


    ¡­


    While eating his food, Lucius watched 2 people competing in the ring, both of them did not use weapons and only with their bare hands, they punched and kicked each other like crazy.


    Afraid of getting hurt? Relax there is some Priest and Clerics who are watching, drinking, also gambling, worry not you can always paid them to heal you.


    But, do they really have no other work in their temples? Why are they gambling and drinking here?


    Speaking of the temples, in this city we have 3 temples which worship 3 different gods and goddesess.The most famous is the Temple of Goddes of Sun, Gyenera with Hyacint the Sun which is one of my right hands as the High Priest in it.You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.


    Second is Orius, a God of War or something that is widely worshiped by warriors and adventurer around the city.


    The third is Alethius the Goddess of Wealth and Fortune who is famous among traders that loves money.


    Actually in the game Temples only established for players to replace / receive job class, treatment, blessings or anything that requires divine spells from a Priest.


    So I don''t know what the temple do in this real world.


    When I was still eating my food, the match was ended with one of the participants heading towards my tables.


    That guy has a shoulder-blond hair, pair of blue-eyed, and a triangular face, without a single hair on his smooth face.


    The man wore a black long-sleeved shirt the same as his black trousers. His body does not look muscular but thin, actually looks more feminine side. If you look carefully at him you can call him a beautifull guy type.


    Even though his face had several bruises, he still really bauti-, ahem, handsome guy I mean.The man roughly sat in front of my tables and drank my beer without noticing me who was glaring at him.


    "Hey! That''s my beer! "


    "Hmm? Your beer? Why did I see it just sitting on this table untouched?"


    When I heard that I could only shut my mouth.


    "What a shamaless guy" I said under my breath while eating my food again and now from what I see from corner of my eyes he also begin ate my food.


    ¡®Who also wants to talk to rude guy. Not worth it''


    Seeing me ignored him, that guy let out a grunt and said while pointing me with his thin finger.


    "Hmmp! Weak, did you just lost your guts after knowing that I was too strong for you to handle? Oi, Did you hear that? Loser!"


    Bam!


    "Fxck! Who are you saying a loser huh!? If you dare let''s fight me!"


    I feel insulted! I really feel insulted!


    At first I just wanted to leave all of this like a fart, but it seems that this fart is a fart like tornado that likes to damage the environment!


    I was so angry that I hit the table hard with my palm and my food fall to the floor because of it!


    Which then many peoples in the tavern who was watching us from the start begin to cheering and shouting while druming the table.


    "Uohhh!"


    "Fight!"


    "Fight!"


    And the beautiful guy showed a sly smile as if I had entered the trap.


    "Ha ha ha! Let''s fight then! But ... if there are no bets, it won''t be exciting right? Let''s bet 20 Gold Coin!"


    He said while shaking a small pouch in his hand and his smile widened when he saw I was still silent.


    "What? Are you a loser and a poor person?"


    He said again, followed by laughters from across the tavern.


    "Ha ha ha ha!"


    "Fight baby doll!"


    "Yep! If you can make his face bruished black and blue I will take you to the room!"


    "Yekkk! Jack that is disgusting!"


    "Ah ... I mean I''ll take buy you a drink as much as you like!"


    With the ridicule and insult that the other customers made, the atmosphere of the bar became even more chaotic.


    ¡­


    I couldn''t stand it anymore I immediately took my pocket and took exactly 20 gold coins and put them on the table.


    "Alright, I''m ready!"


    "Uohhh"


    Still with his sneer, the beautiful guy, that''s how I named him, walking towards the arena and I followed behind him.


    Then both of us stood on different sides of the arena.


    The beautifull guy raised his hand up and made a stance.


    I also made horses stance, clenched my fists and raised them in front of my shoulder.


    Without warning, he immediately advanced in an instant right in front of me and sent a fist towards my face. When I saw that I just grinning and said softly, "Thunder Punch"


    Expecting my fist to dart and beat the beautiful guy out, but what I got was a hard fist in front of my face and stuck right in my eyes.


    Bam!


    With a strong force from that fist I almost tilted backwards and with the remaining stance I try to balance my body so that I could stand properly again.


    Not waiting for me to fix my stance, the beautiful guy hit and kicked my body while I tried desperately to block it.


    ¡®Fuck! Why can''t I use the moves I used repeatedly before !? Didn''t I just have to say the skill''s name to attack!?''


    With a pathetic situation, Lucius tried to block his successive attacks.


    Squatting with his hands in front of his head to protect himself from fists and kicks, Lucius looks like a schoolboy who was bullied after the school.


    With a flushed face with shame and anger Lucius jumped from his place and shouted.


    "Damn!"


    That guy immediately retreated and his mouth widen with a grin, like saying "What an idiot".


    Lucius now just punched out blindly in rage as he kept trying to hit that guy.


    The guy managed to avoid all Lucius''s blows from close range with ease.


    But suddenly Lucius threw his body towards the guy and made them both fall to the floor with their stomachs facing the floor and Lucius on top of the guy.


    Bam!


    When the two of them fell Lucius tried to lock the man like a wrestler, even though from an audience''s point of view they both looked more like worms mating.


    "Ha ha! I managed to get you! You have lost!"


    "What!? Your skills is nothing! I can free myself in an instant!"


    "Won¡¯t be able to!"


    Lucius said while his hand tried to hold the guy tighter.


    When he tightened his grip, Lucius slightly put pressure on his left palm which then he felt a soft sensation on it and he try to groped it more. He thought ¡®Huh? What is this?''


    "Ahhhhh! Damn it! How dare you!"


    With the energy that came from where the guy threw Lucius from his back.


    Lucius who was shocked by the soft feeling in his left hand and by the guy''s strange behavior made his mind spin quickly.


    "Soft thing? Angry? Soft? Crossdressing? Ah, you are a Arkce-pffttt "


    Before Lucius managed to finish the words, he felt a tremendous pain from his crotch. Wriggling on the floor like an eel but with a mouth like a koi fish trying to get a breath, Lucius tried hard to look at that gu- ahem that woman.


    What he saw was that that woman ran out of the tavern in a hurry while holding her chest.


    "Ah wait!"


    He said while trying to stand up and walk clumsilly toward the woman.


    ¡­


    In the corner of the tavern.


    "Hey Fred, what does the young man mean to say that is soft and crossdressing?"


    "Shut up Jack I''m not your friend."


    ¡­


    Stood on the road that now looks deserted, Lucius tried to find where the woman was going.


    "Heh ... So fast."


    Sighing as he continued to look to the left and right him that a moment ago was crowded with traders and buyers. Now all he saw was a empty shop.


    "Where are they? Isn''t that very crowded just moment ago? "


    Few minutes walking he arrived at one of a street near the main street of Zenilla city. He heard from a distance there was a sound of peoples there.


    "Oh? Is the expedition team back? "


    Running slowly through the increasingly crowded road he tried to push and head to the front of the crowded people, so that he could see clearly what they were seeing.


    "Excuse me sir, excuse me little girl, excuse ... huh?"


    His steps stopped and there was a shocked expression on his face.


    What he saw was a group of expedition teams that looked like soldiers who barerly won after a war.


    Too much blood sticks to their equipment, whether it''s their blood or the blood of their enemy, certainly that is not a good thing.


    Even one of them lost his left hand.


    "Well, I think I have to made a new plan first."

 Chapter 6 : Clash

    I gripped my sword tightly and controlled the Fire Salamander to remain calm. Luckily our Fire Salamanders are at level 20 so they do have a little intelligence and don''t directly attack the enemy forces that are in front of us, at least not now.


    "Paul you bastard! Damn it! I will deal with you later!.Everyone make a formation!"


    I heard Kriri''s voice behind me, taking the command that should be mine and I could only click my tongue in annoyance.


    "Tch ... "


    "This is not the time to fight Kriri. Paul, if you want to be safe, hurry back."


    Purple''s said while controlling her Terror Lizard and followed the other Shadow¡¯s Wacther to the back while taking her bows.


    I can only follow Kriri orders. When entering to the formation I released my mount, Fire Salamander to gather with the other Fire Salamanders and form an attack team.


    Because of their ferocious nature and it can also increase the number of our troops and make it easier for them to kill their way to the enemy formation without burden on their back.


    And our formation is shaped like a bird with 5 knights as heads as defending team, and 8 swordman as wings as attacking team and 4 wizards as tails as our magic caster. The Shadow¡¯s Watcher acts as a ranger while hides their ass behind the trees and bushes.


    "Coward," I thought of them as I watched the Apes getting closer to us.


    90 meter.


    70 meter.


    50 meter.


    Shiu. Shiu. Shiu.


    When they were within 50 meters range of us, a dozen arrows glided quickly from behind our formation and hit several Apes right at their vital points. Those who were hit by arrows fell and blocked the others Apes who run behind them.


    "Grah! Hooman! Lift your shield my tribe!"


    Shouted the large sized Apes that I guessed was that their leader, they all had an ugly shield made from boards that nailed carelessly.


    "Magic shoot!"


    Said Kriri who was at the very front acting as a leader shouting gave orders.


    Colorful light appeared behind me and form a magic circle and with that they fired many magics at the Apes on the same times.


    "Poison Arrow!"


    ¡°Fire Crows!¡±


    ¡°Lightning Shoot!¡±


    ¡°Dark Spear!¡±


    With magic attacks and arrows the number of Apes was reduced, but still the number of those apes who originallu numbered more than 100 could not be underestimated, especially some of them who looked very strong.


    "Get ready for a clash! Martial Skil: Iron Tower!"


    Kriri shouted using a martial skill while raising his shield and tightening his grip to the Lance he hold.


    "Arghh! Hooman! Kill! "


    Bam!Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.


    Bam!


    Bam!


    With the first collision, the Fire Salamanders sneaked into the enemy¡¯s army while tearing and clawing the Apes along their way make blood and flesh flying everywhere.


    We as an attacking team also entered the fight without break the formation.


    "Martial Skill : 10 Slash!"


    "Martial Skill: Death Dance!"


    We take out all the moves we know to stay a live inside many attack from the Apes.


    Blood and body parts flew when they slayed by us.


    "Hooman! You have crossed our land! You have to die! Graaah!"


    Their leader who is an Ape with a large body and height of more than 2 meters raised his Halberd and slashed towards Kriri who was in front without thinking of his friend who was still there.


    "Oh shit! Martial Skill : Mountain Stance!"


    Kriri''s said while his body shine with brown light.


    Penetrating and splitting the Apes in front of him, the Halberd collided with Kriris''s shield which made him bounce from the impact like a stone thrown by a catapult and crash into many trees on its path.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    "¡±Kriri!"¡±


    Shouted his two friends who were still busy defending and fighting with the enemy when they saw their leader get punched.


    With the gape being made between the formation, the apes leader and several other apes entered into the formation. The wizards in their target are of course.


    "Grah! Little wizard! Die!"


    Shaid the Ape''s Chief while lifting his Halberd and slashed into one of the Wizard who looked unprepared and nervous.


    Shiiingggg!


    But before the Halbert could touch and slashing the Wizard, there is line of fire slashed through his hands and made both of his hands fall down to the ground.


    "Martial Skill : Flame Sword!"


    Said a woman in silver armor with green scarf around her neck who grabbed a flaming sword with one hand. She is Nanya Lohr.


    "Arghhh!"


    The apes shouted loudly which followed by his body fell with his face facing the ground and after that he was silent.


    After the big Apes fell the other Apes fell silent and began to shout.


    "Chief! Died! Run! "


    "Run!"


    "Chief!"


    They said while turning around even though some of them were still stuck behind.


    "Don''t let them run!"


    Kriri said, emerging from behind the trees in a messy outfit, his face pale with blood dripping from his mouth.


    But his armor and shield did not suffer any damage from to the collision before.


    While the others just follow the command and join the fray to kill and caught the remaining apes.


    ¡­


    With the death of their chief, they all ran in a hurry so we could kill them easily. And we also caught some of them alive.


    Strange I think, our world before doesn''t have race that was similar to this apes. Whatever, after all, this is also not our old world, justs try to adapt Nanya.


    Some of us suffered some grave wounds, but all of them could be easily soveld by drink a bottle of Health Potion, so that no one died, yet.


    Even though some of the Fire Salamanders died, but that didn''t really matter as long as our lives were still there.


    "Hey Paul, it''s all your fault!"


    Kriri, one of the members of the Dark Luster Knight called out my big brother roughly and raised his Lance towards him.


    While some of us just sigh and shake their head.


    "Hah? Kriri, did I hear wrong? Those Apes who suddenly attack! Fast or not one of us will try to call them!"


    "Guh! It''s still your fault! If we leave the work to Shadow''s Watcher, then this won''t happen! "


    "Hah!? Can the two of you calm down? We all feel tired! So calm down for a moment!"


    I said irritably.


    ¡®Bunch o fool¡¯ I though as I sighed.


    Sure enough, all of us have just fought with the Apes a while ago and you two are fighting like little kids? Gah!


    "Lady, what do we have to do with the corpses, especially the Chief corpse?"


    One of the Wizards said while his hand touched the corpse''s head, the corps which had lost both hands.


    But the Chief huh?


    "We gather them, especially that corpse. I think Lord will interes- "


    Before I managed to finish my words the unexpected thing happened before my eyes.


    And after that.


    "Argh! My hand!"


    The Wizard shouted, now his hand was in Chief Apes''s mouth.


    The sound of flesh and bones was torn from the Ape''s Chief mouth''s direction followed by the tragic scream of the Wizard make us who hear that started to chill.


    "Damn! Let my hand go!"


    Some of us who near that Wizard try to release his hand from the Ape''s mouth but to futille.


    "Ghahahaha! Hooman at least let me take him to the grave!"


    The ape''s said, still by biting the Wizard''s hand.


    "Ah ... Ahhh! My stupid ape will kill you! Ah! Fire Storm! "


    "Stupid! All of you get away! "


    I shouted, while ducked my body behind a tree.


    Without warning, the Wizard cast an Aoe magic to the ape. And the magic itself can hurts his friend badly in that close range.


    Does he not think like that?


    Boom!


    A blast of fire came from the Wizard''s hand and scorched smell came from there afterwards.


    There was a lot of moaning sound from others because it was too close to the source of the explosion.


    The wizard himself had passed out and lying on the ground. His bitten hand has been amputated and lying beside him. While Ape was dead with a missing head and a burning body.


    I can only sigh repeatedly and finally I say slowly. "What a stupid day."
