In the cave within the forest, there is tiger like creature. However, the tiger has white fur and has big body like elephant. The tiger opened his eyes. What is this strong presence!

Chapter 3 : Too Much Strength South Forest Entrance In front of the forest, there is beautiful young woman with blonde hair and pair emerald green eyes. She wore golden armor with greatsword on her back. Her aura was cold, and her cold gaze pierced through the forest. There is more knight behind her, they wore silver armors with swords on their waist. One of them approached her. ¡°Variya-sama, everything is prepared. We can enter anytime!¡± ¡°Un¡± She nodded. She turned and saw all of her subordinate is already lined up neatly with shining eyes as if ready to hunt everything within the forest. ¡°As you see, the forest is deadly silent. According to information from prime minister, it said that beast movement is strange as if calm before the storm. Your Highness Alyesha has ordered us to investigate the forest. We must risked everything to get any information!¡± ¡°¡±¡±Yes, Ma¡¯am!!¡±¡±¡±
Inside the forest, sat a man in his early twenties under a big tree. He has short white hair with pair of crimson eyes. He is Lucan in his game character! After he ran from the tiger, he decided to learn how to use his power before he learned to unhide his presence. Inside Heroes Online, Dimensional Storage is similar to folders screen in computer that contain game items. So, I just need to imagine folder within my brain, eh Lucan imagine a folder and suddenly something pop out inside his mind. However, he is taken aback. ¡°Heck, it just one sword!?¡± However, when he opened his eyes he saw black hole on the air. Is this dimensional storage? He put his hand inside and take something like sword out. Lucan saw katana-like sword in his hands, the color is black as if you saw the deepest hell. He remembered that it was a god''s grade sword that could channel his black flames and darkness magic in the game. This katana can¡¯t be destroyed and can¡¯t be dirty.Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. Lucan stood up, he unleashed his katana and swings his sword to the trees before him. He imagined certain skill within the game. ¡°Sword Slash¡± He screamed. He shocked when he saw that his sword sent a sword wave to the tree and cut it. However, it doesn¡¯t stop after cutting it and continuing to cut the tree behind it! ¡°Shit!? I put too much strength!¡± I need to learn controlling my power first, eh
Variya and her subordinates entered the forest. However, her face become solemn when not even bird found inside the forest. This is weird Her subordinates also aware their General face become solemn and warily look their surroundings. ¡°Let move faster!¡± Variya shouted. ¡°¡±¡°Ma¡¯am, Yes, Ma¡¯am!¡±¡±¡± They move faster into the forest. However, something huge jumped in into their formation. ¡°ROARR!!!¡± When Variya saw the creature, her face become ashen. It¡¯s The King of The Forest White Tiger! Before she gave any order, White Tiger attacked her subordinates with his claws. Their body split as if they were whin as paper. Variya moved to the White Tiger and strike him with her greatsword. ¡°Divide the formation and disperse! Immediately report to Your Highness for reinforcements!¡± She shouted. How can we met White Tiger when we still not deep enough! ¡°Humph! You dared go into my forest so don¡¯t expect to get out alive!¡± White Tiger swung his tail to Variya. However, Variya responds by swingings her greatsword toward the tail, she knew that the tail of a White Tiger is as strong as iron. *clank* Variya pushed back. ¡°Move faster you moron!¡± Her subordinates dispersed, they knew if no one reported to their Queen, the reinforcements that would come would only die in vain. ¡°¡±¡±YES, MA¡¯AM!!!¡±¡±¡± Heard the cries of her subordinates, Variya¡¯s cold face smiled. ¡°Humph¡± White Tiger opened his mouth and glowing white ball popped on the entrance of his mouth, White Tiger pointed his mouth at the knights. Before White Tiger could release his attack, Variya appeared beside him with a sword covered with golden aura. ¡°You can¡¯t attack my subordinates freely when I¡¯m alive, you fool!¡± She swung her sword and sent White Tiger flying into the trees and causing dust to cover the area. Variya saw her subordinates has successfully ran away. When the dust disappeared, White Tiger stood without any scratch. His body covered with blue aura. ¡°A mere human dared to attack me!? The Almighty King of Forest!¡± When Variya saw this, she feels hopeless. White Tiger moves towards Variya with astonishing speed, she sighed and waiting her death. When she feels her deaths is near, suddenly BOOM! ¡°Shit!? I put too much strength!¡± Chapter 4 : Upcoming Calamity BOOM! When she saw split body of the White Tiger, she was beyond shock. Even though she knew that White Tiger is not invincible, to defeat White Tiger is needed at least 5-10 S Rank Warrior! Yet it died with just BOOM! She turned to the voice source, but there is nothing there. She¡¯s scared to death, and fainted from mental exhaustion. As for the culprit, he is confused when he saw woman lying in front of the White Tiger corpse. Eh, is this the Tiger from before? Lucan getting confused because the white tiger from before died just because of the sword wave of his katana. He knows that he doesn¡¯t control his strength properly, to think that he can kill the Tiger with just one swing of his katana! He tries to activate his god''s eye, he need to know the power of people in this world. He imagine that no truth can escape from his eyes. His crimson eyes glowing, and the woman status popped out within his mind

His face became ugly. F*ck! I don¡¯t have age column!? To think that my Immortal title is truth. Goddamn! Lucan heavily sighed. At least, I know that I can survive in this world Lucan remembers his role as Game Master at Heroes Online, he must stop Evil Dragon attack at Northern Heavenly Kingdom. However, without enough strength he knows that he can¡¯t do anything to stop it. Tch¡­at least I have godlike ability to stop the big lizard He turned and continued his practice. He needed to use his strength and skill properly as soon as possible. Oops! That woman He turned again and took her under the tree.
The knights continued to run, Richard, one of the subordinates of General Variya turned and saw the forest with complex emotions. He hopes that their leader will survive even if there are very few possibilities. "Move Faster! We need to report this immediately! Do not make Variya-sama sacrifices in vain" One of the knights shouted, they have running from the forest without rest. Even though they felt very fatigue, they needed to report to their queen immediately. Moments later, they saw a merchant. They looked at each other and nodded, they approached the merchant. ¡°STOOP!¡± They shouted. The merchant stoped and looked at the knights with confused face. ¡°I¡¯m sorry Knight-sama, am I do something wrong?¡± He asked with polite tone. ¡°No, we want to borrow your horse to send a message to Your Highness immediately.¡± From their face, the merchant know that this is serious problem. His face became solemn and immediately untied the horse''s ties. ¡°Of course, this humble merchant will cooperate¡± The Knights sighed. One of the knights approached Richard. ¡°Richard, take the horse and send the report yourself.¡± Richard nodded, not wasting his time he began to ride the horse to the Southern Heavenly Kingdom.
Within a dark grand hall, there is a humanoid creature with two horns on its head. He sat on a throne made of bones, in front of him many creatures both humanoid and non-humanoid kneel. He opened his blood-red eyes and as if the gates of hell were open, the atmosphere became cold and bloodlust scattered all over the grand hall. ¡°Darkness spread through the world¡± ¡°Human once again will face calamity¡± ¡°They will suffer¡± ¡°They will feel despair¡± ¡°And we, the demon shall rule the world¡± As if a fact from the god of death itself, his cold voice spread throughout the grand hall. All the creature trembled, they feel excited. No need to hide, no need to withstand lust, they will make all of the human feel hopeless. As if it has one body and one purpose ¡°¡±ALL HAIL DEMON LORD!¡±¡± ¡°¡±ALL HAIL DEMON LORD!¡±¡± Chapter 5 : About Altra Lucan continues his practice, and unknowingly the day begins to darken. Lucan disabled his Hide Presence skills. Now, he can use most of his skills and strengths even though his controls are still lacking. Because the temperature is getting cold. He took the wood from the tree he had previously cut to make a bonfire. After finishing the wood, he uses his magic to make fire. Shit! My fire is black! Even though the fire was warm, it was dark! Lucan sighed and placed Variya¡¯s body near the fire to prevent from getting cold. Confused by Variya¡¯s Greatsword, he put it next to her body. He looks at the sky, he thinks what he will do in this world. Although he is a bit worried, he is also a bit excited to explore this world. Rethinking the scenario that will happen to mankind, Lucan feels guilty about the scenario he made. Many innocent people will die, many people falling into the darkness. Although they managed to win in the end, they still need to go through a lot of tragedy. He heavily sighed. When Lucan was thinking hard, Variya''s body wriggled and suddenly woke up. She looked around warily, as she saw Lucan she take her greatsword that lying next to her and aim it at Lucan. "Who are you!" She shouted. "Don¡¯t yell, you''ll attract the attention of beasts within the forest" Thanks to his Poker Face skill, Lucan managed to say with a straight face. She managed to calm down, trying to remember what happened. She becomes shocked, if this guy is the one who saved her then he must be very strong to be able to defeat The King of Forest with one attack. Looking back at the man in front of her, she becomes more shocked! Though very dark, it does not cover his handsomeness. She has met many handsome men as General of The Kingdom, but they are just clowns than the men in front of her. Unaware of what she is thinking, Lucan feels that he need to continue the conversation. "*Cough* Even though I''ve loaded a fire to warm our bodies, my flames are black and can¡¯t become lighting, so if you can use fire magic or anything that throws ordinary fire, you may use it with wood on my back."This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. Hearing what he said, she looked at the heat source and once again shocked. Never had she seen or heard of a black flame, this was the first time she had seen it! Remembering what he said, she channeled mana to the ring on her finger and pulled out an object. It was like wood but red. Waah, storage ring? Lucan thought when he seen ring on her finger. Seeing the object that was released by Variya, Lucan became curious. "Can you get the wood?" She said Without answering back he took the rest of the wood behind him and placed it beside the fire he had made. Variya channeled her mana and suddenly the fire came out from the tip then she put it under the wood that had been arranged by Lucan. Seeing that, Lucan became amazed. Before he could say anything. "May I know master¡¯s name?" She asked. Amazed by her question, Lucan remains straight-faced. "Lucan" "My name is Variya Frost, and General of Southern Heavenly Kingdom. Can I know where you come from?" "Is this an interrogation?" He asked. She panicked and hastily apologized. Lucan laughed at the reaction of the woman in front of him. Seeing Lucan laughing, she blushed. "Well, I live in this forest, even though someone taught me a lot about life and said that information is important, I know little about the world, so can you help me?" Lucan bowed. "... Oh, s-sure! You can count on me." Amazed with Lucan question, she replied nervously and bowed. That night Lucan listens to all that Variya says about this world, although he can say that Variya thinks he''s suspicious, she''s still passing on the general information she knows. From that information, this world is called Altra (Altough he is already knew). He can say that there is 5 class in society, where the bottom is slave, and the highest is the royal family. Although the Royal Family is the absolute ruler of the kingdom, there is an organization that is outside the law of the kingdom because the organization exists in every kingdom in this world. The organization is called the Adventurer Guild, because he is interested in the Guild Adventurer he asks for any information about the organization. In the Adventurer Guild, Adventurers will receive a quest from anyone as long as there is a fee. The adventurer is divided into 6 classes E, D, C, B, A, S where E is a newcomer and S is the strongest. There are 5 major kingdoms in this world, including Northern Heavenly Kingdom, Southern Heavenly Queendom. The two kingdoms are the kingdom of human race, the next is the Elven Kingdom. Elven Kingdom is the kingdom of the elves. There''s also Beast-man Kingdom, unlike beast that is have wild and cruel nature, Beast-man is demi-human. This is the kingdom of every demi-human besides the Elf and Human. And the last, is Forest of Despair . It is said that the forest is the base of the demonkin, and every troops sent into the forest never came back. Even many party adventurers who accept quests to investigate Forest of Despair never came back. Therefore this place becomes a forbidden place. So, basically there are only 4 great strengths because there is little information about Forest of Despair. In addition, there are 4 gods in this world. Although there is no such kind of church, they believe in their existence. They are :
  1. God of Fire Element, Reed
  2. God of Water Element, Leah
  3. God of Wind Element, Irish
  4. God of Earth Element, Veer
After knowing that the general information is still the same as he remembered, Lucan sleep with smile on his face. At least, he can ease the burden on his mind. Chapter 6 : The Journey Began Southern Heavenly Kingdom Palace There was a man on his twenties, he walked through a long corridor with a black line in his forehead and his aura very dark. He has short black hair with dark blue eyes. Today, he got a report from Variya''s subordinate about an incident in the forest. Heard this, he became very depressed. Variya is his classmate when he is in the royal academy as well as his fiancee. When he stopped in front of a giant door that was guarded by some knight with a silver armor, when they saw the man they immediately opened the door. "Prince Alucard has come!" they shouted together He is the Prince of Southern Heavenly Kingdom! The son of the previous queen and queen sister who led Southern Heavenly Kingdom today. He had no right to inherit his mother''s throne because he was a man. Sitting on the throne, Queen Alyesha is confused about the arrival of her sister. Alucard arrives in front of the throne and kneels. "You can stand" "Thank you, Your Highness!" Hearing this, Queen Alyesha becomes curious. Usually, when her little brother gets into serious trouble he always uses the right etiquette. "What do you want little brother?" She raised her eyebrows "I want you to let this humble subordinate lead a royal knight to the southern forest" Heard about southern forest, Queen Alyesha''s face becomes solemn. "For what reason did you lead the royal knights there, the royal knights are the elite of the elite in the ranks of knight within our Kingdom. You should have known that royal knights will only advance when there is a great threat to our kingdom." Alucard had predicted his sister''s question, he looked at his sister''s face. "Today, I got a report from Variya''s subordinate who said that they were attacked by King of Forest even before they went too deep. Your Highness, if the report is true then this is very strange for King of Forest to emerge. It also concerns the public security of our kingdom if King of Forest coming out from southern forest ." Queen Alyesha immediately stood up in surprise.The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. How is it possible, it means ... She immediately understood the problem, Variya likely facing King of Forest to gain time and let her subordinates escape to report the kingdom. And considering the feelings of his little brother to Variya, she knew that Alucard would be looking for Variya himself if she refused to give orders to royal knights. "I give you permission to lead 30 royal knights to the southern forest." Queen Alyesha sat back on her throne with her eyes closed. She thinks of her little brother and feels sorry for him. "Your Highness, is not it a bit of an exaggeration to send a royal knight?" Suddenly a man beside the throne said. Hearing this, Alucard did not hide his killing intent toward the man and looked at him as if ready to devour him. "Calm down, Alucard." Queen Alyesha said in a quiet voice and make Alucard shiver, then she turned to face the man next to her. "Prime Minister, King of Forest coming out of the forest out of its nest is impossible, we can conclude that there is something that keeps him out, and something is at least equal to or stronger than the King of Forest." Prime Minister opened his mouth, but there was no sound coming out of his throat to deny what his Queen said. Finally, he just nodded and backed up a few steps back. Queen Alyesha picked up a token from her storage ring and stretched it to Alucard. "Bring it and show it to the royal knight." Alucard accepted the token, and stuffed it into his storage ring. "Thank you, Your Highness" Queen Alyesha nodded, Alucard turned and walked out the throne room. His killing intent leaked out.
Southern Forest The sunlight shone through the forest, the birds chirping as if to welcome the new day. Under the big tree, there were two people sleeping beside the exhausted fire. They are Variya and Lucan! Lucan opened his eyes, and was greeted by the bright sunshine. Although the temperature around is still a bit cold, it does not stop Lucan to enjoy the morning atmosphere in this forest. In his former world, natural forest is something that is almost extinct. Although the problem of pollution has been overcome, it is actually making people slaughtering most of the world''s forests. Lucan stood up and walked to the nearest river, he jumped and entered the river water. Instantly, he jumped out. F*ck! So cold! Lucan wanted to tear his brain apart due to his childish attitude. He cursed his ancestors to create such childish attitudes became his family''s brand. However, before he thought of making a curse ritual for his ancestor there was a movement behind him. He turned and saw that Variya was awake. "Good morning, Variya" She yawned and greet Lucan back with a smile. She stood up and walked closer to the river, then washed her face with the cold water of the river. When Lucan looks back at Variya, he''s a little surprised by his beauty. Last night his mind was still focused on this world so he doesn¡¯t notice it even though he could see in the dark clearly. Fortunately, she''s not my type ¡°Lucan-dono, do you mind if I know where you''re going next?¡± Variya interrupted Lucan who was thinking about her. ¡°Northern Heavenly Kingdom¡± Simple as ever, I''m genius among genius. Haha! ¡°Ooh, are you also going to Southern Heavenly Kingdom?¡± Lucan just nodded. Because Northern Heavenly Kingdom is adjacent to Southern Heavenly Kingdom, and Southern Heavenly Kingdom is the closest to this forest he intends to stop by and register himself as an Adventurer like certain protagonist within certain novel he read. ¡°Then, we can go there together. I can become your guide in Southern Heavenly Kingdom.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± With that, they walked out of the forest. Lucan is very excited with the trip he will make to Northern Heavenly Kingdom. In his mind he hummed with all his heart. Chapter 7 : *Title at the end of chapter* After getting out of the forest, Lucan and Variya continued their journey to Southern Heavenly Kingdom. "I think I can see Paula''s village at this distance" Variya said when looking ahead, Lucan who was closing his eyes suddenly opened it. He can see the village silhouette spoken by Variya. "Yes, that''s not too far from here." Lucan said with a nod. Although a little excited to see how the village in this world looks, he feels anxious for some reason. He has ever felt like this before in his former world. Similar to what I feel when I ran out of toilet paper and and wanted to defecate Lucan nodded while remembering his feeling at that time, but somehow this one is stronger. Too deep into his thoughts, they had unknowingly reached the gates of Paula Village. "Strange, no guard on gate..." Variya murmured. However, after seeing this village they become shocked. They are silent like a statue. What lies ahead is a quiet village with scattered corpses! And strangely, the corpses had very pale skin with a twisted face. Variya confused with what is in front of her. On the other hand, Lucan gets very angry with what he sees. [Death Soul Collection] This is a skill commonly used by demons! It allowed the demon to collect the souls of others, but as the name implies this skill can only collect souls of the dead. It means that the culprit uses certain methods that make all villagers die and then use the [Death Soul Collection]. Feel the pressure received from Lucan, Variya trembled. Lucan did not know he was putting pressure, he was so angry that he forgot about the existence of Variya. "L-Lucan-dono, is there something wrong?" She asked while trembling, however Variya is actually very confused with Lucan''s behavior. People who usually calm suddenly put out very frightening pressure. Even the strongest person she knows is just a kid compared to the pressure of the man in front of her! "This is a demon attack" Lucan said calmly, he scanned the surroundings and felt something moving toward them. On the other hand, Variya was beyond shocked. The existence of a demon is a legend! But the person in front of her said what happened in front of them was the demon attack! Variya was confused and a lot of thought flashed through her mind until suddenly a very melodious voice stopped her thoughts. "My, my, there is puny little human left " Variya saw a woman who can be said to be very beautiful and charming with red hair and red eyes. Although she is very beautiful, she had pair of horns on her head. T-this, very similar to the demon''s features in a book in the royal library!? Recalling what Lucan said Demon who did this ¡­ See the corpses of villagers scattered, young and old even children who should have fun and play with their friends. Her heart was filled with anger, and unconsciously grabbed her Greatsword and moved forward and attacked the Demon. Variya swung her Greatsword with all her might. However, the Demon just yawned and stopped Variya''s attack with her finger. Variya''s eyes widen in surprise and in the blink of an eye, the demon was there beside her swinging a light blow toward her stomach.Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. Hit by the blow, Variya''s body flew into a house behind her and destroyed the house. The demon didn¡¯t care about Variya and observe Lucan curiously. "You''re strong, don¡¯t you?" She said with charming smile. However, Lucan was unaffected and just stared at the demon with a cold eyes. "Ooh, I loved cold person. You really know my tasted, eh" She tilted her head cutely. Suddenly Lucan eyes glowing, the demon felt uneasy with Lucan''s gaze. An information suddenly popped out in Lucan mind.

The demon feels as if she''s naked in front of him. This made her smile disappear and was replaced with solemn face. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" She shouted, but no answer. Lucan takes the katana from his dimensional storage. He unleashed his katana without word. The demon was frustrated and moved to attack Lucan with an inhuman speed. However, for Lucan the speed of the demon is still very slow. Lucan lowered his head to avoid the demon''s blow, then cut off the demon''s hands that used to attack him. "AHHHHHH !!?" A terrible scream was heard. The demon saw her now-lying hand beside Lucan and became very angry and frightened. "I will kill you slowly to pay homage to the villagers" Lucan said with cold voice. The demon was scared sh*tless. Lucan used [Blink] and suddenly stood beside the demon, he uses his katana''s handle to attack her. It makes the demon body flying and destroys villagers'' homes. What a frightening speed! The demon felt hopeless, she wouldn¡¯t dare to attack if she knew that the human is this strong. Instead of waiting for death she would rather die in battle for the sake of her pride. "[Dark Blow]!" She launched dark magic to Lucan who still stands without moving. A black cloud-like object moved very quickly toward Lucan. The demon knows that this will not hurt Lucan, and moves closer to Lucan with her [Blink] skill. Arriving beside Lucan, she swung the blow with one hand with all her might. It is already predicted by Lucan, he grabbed her hand and throw the demon to the magic that casted by the demon. ¡°GAHHH!?¡± The demon feels as though her body is pounded by a giant hammer and its body rolls after being hit by her magic like a can is thrown to the ground horizontally. She panted and stood with difficulty, she looked at Lucan with eyes filled with anger and fear. "Are you scared?" Lucan approached the demon quietly. "[Death Skin]!" She casted a curse to him. However, Lucan is unaffected and keeps approaching her quietly. Seeing Lucan approaching, the demon frantically threw his magic with all of her might. However, Lucan merely regards the magic of the demon as if nothing. "[Hell Fire]" After Lucan close enough to the demon, he casted one of his [Dark Fire Magic] and the body of the demon was covered in black fire. "AAAAAAHHHHH ...!?" The demon created a very painful cry that even the listener would feel pain. As if live fish were fed into hot cooking oil, the demon rolled on the ground furiously. The screams continued with the demon body rolling on the ground until finally the cry stopped without leaving anything. Lucan closed his eyes, remembering what happened to the people in this village he felt guilty. However, when he senses the presence of a person behind him, he saw Variya seeing him with eyes full of awe and fear. Seeing the fight in front of her, she felt as if she saw a fight in the legend in real life. And seeing how Lucan fights, Variya is sure that he doesn¡¯t fight with all of his strength. Just, how strong is he? Lucan sighed and walked out the village looking for a vast and empty area. He looked around and swung his sword to the ground, as if the ground circus show rolled back and made a very deep hole. Lucan returns back into the village and places the corpses one by one into the pit for burial. Seeing what Lucan did, Variya also helped put the corpses of the population into the pit as a form of homage. Lucan sighed and looked at the sky, closed his eyes and stood as if he were an unshakable statue. Looking at Lucan''s lonely figure, Variya also felt sadness in her heart. She quietly sat under a nearby tree and closed her eyes. Lucan felt a group of people headed for this village. However, he didn¡¯t care and just stands there with his eyes closed. After all, if they have bad intentions he can annihilate them easily. Chapter 7 : The Demon Attack
