《Origin of the Best Void Magician》 Chapter 00 : Prologue A great bliss. That¡¯s was what he feeling at this time. After all, he was basking under the sunlight at the rooftop while sleeping nicely. As he was done sleeping, he woke up from lying on the ground while stretching himself. That man¡¯s name was Ibuki Kagerou, a smart and silent 17 years old teenage boy, sitting there blankly with a satisfaction glued on his face. ¡®Surely this is bliss for this nice dreamy day, right?¡¯ He usually thought like that. After sitting there for a while, he stood up and started walking back to his classroom. When he arrived at his classroom, he noticed there were several people inside the classroom whom chatting vigorously. The other side also must be noticed the same. Both side started to stare to each other silently, making the place suddenly void from noises. The other side was none other than Hanami Kanzaki, Minami Kanzaki, Nana Tsugumi and Izumi Touka, The Top Four. They were always at the top in academic and sports, that¡¯s why everyone called them as the top four. Not that he cared about that though, because he doesn¡¯t like to stand out so much. They stop staring at him and continue their chatting. ¡®I feel like they were really doesn¡¯t care at all about me.¡¯ That¡¯s what he felt when he saw them. ¡®Well, let¡¯s packed everything and go home.¡¯ He started to pack his thing into his bag.If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. Suddenly, the classroom was blinded by light, piercing those five in unison. By no means, they were all desperately closing their eyes as the light was too bright. It was, of course, that they were unprepared for something like this too. In the end, they were all bathing in that light until it fades. The classroom was once again quiet after the light diminished and those five who was there earlier had gone. No one will know whatever happened to those five after they have disappeared from that classroom.
He opened his eye once the light that blinding them disappeared. What he saw after that was not his own classroom but a gallant royal room filled with a mysterious rune filled the space. Not only that, when he looked at his feet, there was a giant circle formation that had geometrics, circles and runes filled inside it. ¡®Is this perhaps¡­..Summoning Magic?¡¯ Those words were blurted out inside him and of course he had considered all possibilities that this is prank. But the scene at this place was shown beautifully which made him too considered another possibility ¨C They were all at another world. ¡®Damn it¡­ I don¡¯t want something like this happen to me!¡¯ He cursed inside as what happen right now was similar to the novel he read last month. He knew what he was thinking was just a delusion but he can¡¯t deny that he had this bad feeling. After all, the scene in front of him was too real for him to just deny as his own dream. ¡°Where is this place I wonder?¡± ¡°No way this is not Earth, right?¡± Hanami with a calm voice spoke out her though while making a wondering look around the place. Meanwhile Minami her younger sister had already escaping the reality isn¡¯t. She laughed darkly which made the boys got goose bumps all over their body. ¡°I think this is another world, alright.¡± ¡°Yeah, I think so too.¡± Nana was already accepting this as their reality meanwhile Touka was snapped out from his escaping earlier. Kagerou who was still deep in his thought glanced at those four. While thinking deeply, the door was open slowly. The knight was then gathered around the room and standing there without making noises. There was a beauty wearing a shining dress walking through the door meanwhile all the knight around them giving salute towards her. ¡°I welcome you, heroes to this world Torfan. My name is Caroline Von Ausgusto and I am the first princess.¡± It seems that this is really was another world. Chapter 01: Explanation and Doubt ¡°Follow me, heroes. I¡¯ll guide you to the throne room where you¡¯ll meet with my father, the King of Delorias. His Majesty will explain the reason you need to come to this world¡± All five of them followed her quietly while some of guards followed them from behind meanwhile the other guards were just standing there without any flaw. ¡®I supposed I¡¯ll listen to their explanation first, huh?¡¯ While arriving to this thought, Kagerou quickly assessing to their surrounding and doing some mind note about that place. While blankly looking forward, he arrived to the conclusion that this world is similar to the game like system. It is because right now he was looking at his own status. ¡®What the fucking hell is this?¡¯ Status Name: Kagerou Ibuki [HP = 10/10] [MP = 30/30] Title: The one who got dragged into Summoning Magic, Just a Pebbles Stone Aptitude Skill Type: [Void] [Martial Art] [Body Strengthening] Stats: Strength ¨C 14, Agility ¨C 16, Dexterity ¨C 23, Vitality ¨C 21, Wisdom ¨C 40, Defense ¨C 15, Reflex ¨C 51 Skill: None ¡®Okay. Can I fucking retort with this? Why the hell I got this title and what it does it means?!¡¯ The one who got dragged into Summoning Magic ¨C You are clearly just got dragged into summoning so basically you are not a hero. [Level growth is 2x slower than hero] Just a Pebbles Stone ¨C You¡¯ll be always underestimated by the enemy as long as you have this title. [Critical Hit increase 25%] ¡®Oh, this is great (sarcasm). Although both title give a big influence over my fighting style, I felt like the second title really tried to insult me.¡¯ Kagerou was dejected by his own title but he quickly get over with it. He then took a look to his own aptitude definition. Void ¨C Void is the origin nature of Energy, Force and Information. Through this combine was what the nature had become today. Martial Art ¨C Your body muscles have a great potential to be develops to endure an extreme level of martial arts. Body Strengthening ¨C Your bodies¡¯ muscles can endure magic to strengthen itself and resist magic. ¡®Wow. Look at this aptitude, to think that I had aptitude toward Martial Art (sarcasm)¡¯ Kagerou doesn¡¯t realize itself that his body had developed this way because of his muscles lack force resistance since birth which made his own muscles to strengthen for a time being. And because of that, his body also can adapt to martial art lesson as his muscle was better than any average student at his age.Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon. ¡®Better I forgot my status now rather than I regret it later.¡¯ With that mindset which took a second to change from first thought to another thought what made him had high reflexes as he could arrange his thought perfectly. He was forced to cut own his thought as they have arrived at the throne room. The guard which follows them earlier move and opened the door which is huge enough to fit some mid-scale statue. When the door was open, what they saw was a large room that lacks any decoration other than filled with flags and banner yet it feels so majestic and mysterious. Besides that the room was sized at least a soccer field size. Lastly at the opposite of the door was the king His Majesty where he sat on the throne in gold color. ¡°I welcome you heroes to our kingdom. My name is Ausgusto Von McLaren and this kingdom was called as Dorendorn Kingdom. Because there were now 7 Demon Kings and one Great Demon King, which now put the world into panic. That¡¯s why simply put this kingdom needs your help!¡± The king speaks with a sympathetic like voice which can made any other people would think that they really in pinch. But not me, because I could see clearly that the king show an arrogant and proud smile. Yeah, it was clearly just a blatant lie. No, half of it was probably true. Really, you think that I was dumb like these four? ¡°Okay, we will help for this world peace!¡± ¡°Sure, it¡¯s not look like we gain nothing.¡± ¡°Yeah, if the world peace can be gain after we defeat the demon kings¡­ we¡¯ll do it gladly¡± ¡®Seriously this four, can¡¯t they think carefully and see the real intentions of this king?¡¯ He really can tell that the king does not only want them the heroes defeat the demon king, but to use them as war pawn and political advantage to a certain degree. Besides, he did that with pleased eyes looking at them as he was looking at a new toy. ¡®Well, at least I should escape by myself right now. But, how should I do it?¡¯ When he started to arrange his thought..... The king was opened his mouth. ¡°Well, to begin with heroes. Let¡¯s just start by looking at your own status. Just say [status] inside your mind and the [status window] will come out for yourself.¡± The four then check their own status except him. But for not getting a suspicion, he open his status again. Status Name: Kagerou Ibuki Title: The one who act well, the one who got dragged into Summoning Magic, Just a Pebbles Stone Aptitude Skill Type: [Void] [Martial Art] [Body Strengthening] [Mind] Stats: Strength ¨C 14, Agility ¨C 16, Dexterity ¨C 23, Vitality ¨C 21, Wisdom ¨C 40, Defense ¨C 15, Reflex ¨C 51 Skill: [Insight] [Battle Awareness] [Combat Mode] ¡®Hang on a second, the heck is this!!¡¯ ¡®A couple of minutes ago, my status is none exactly like this!!¡¯ His face started to sweat a lot. It will probably stand out so he pretends nothing happen. He calmed himself again and started to analyze his status again. And then he noticed something again. ¡®Wait a minute. Did I just saw that my skill add into my skill and title column?¡¯ Status Name: Kagerou Ibuki Title: The one who had high aptitude, the one who acts well, the one who got dragged into Summoning Magic, Just a Pebbles Stone Aptitude Skill Type: [Void] [Martial Art] [Body Strengthening] [Mind] Stats: Strength ¨C 14, Agility ¨C 16, Dexterity ¨C 23, Vitality ¨C 21, Wisdom ¨C 40, Defense ¨C 15, Reflex ¨C 51 Skill: [Insight] [Battle Awareness] [Combat Mode] [Analyze] ¡®Does this mean that once I create an action that had similarities with my aptitude, I¡¯ll gain a skill much faster?¡¯ He was awed with this kind of system. To not get distracted by his status much, he watched the other four without showing his real face (Poker Face). ¡°Now then, all four heroes¡­.wait a minute, why there was five person here?¡± The king asked. Suspicion aroused within the throne room. His Majesty believes there were only four heroes and because of that all peoples inside this room look onto the heroes. ¡°No. We have [Hero] title, you know?¡± ¡°But¡­why there were five people here?¡± ¡®Better act fast right now.¡¯ ¡°Ah, it was me. I¡¯m doesn¡¯t have any [Hero] title.¡± Everyone inside this throne room targeted him, Kagerou. Certainly, he was the only one who still kept quiet about his presence. ¡°Was it you? Who doesn¡¯t have [Hero] title?¡± ¡°Yes. I¡¯ll show you right away.¡± He showed it to His Majesty his title; [The one who got dragged into Summoning Magic]. All people¡¯s face excluding Kagerou started paled white. Of course the reason was obvious; that someone they didn¡¯t want got dragged together with the Heroes. With that, Kagerou had confirmed that his presence was not welcome well. With that reason, he arrived to one only conclusion; and that is to quickly got away from this castle. ¡°It is obvious, is it not? I can¡¯t fight well like hero, so can I go away from castle? Because I want to live as I want.¡± With this certain scene, it became the turning point for Kagerou¡¯s life to change. Chapter 02: Status ¡¯Ah to think that I can get out from that castle very quick. This is probably from my title [Just a Pebbles Stone]. Yeah, it is work quite well but it still hurt me.¡¯ Kagerou was currently strolling outside the castle. He was after all know that this will happen not long ago had ready to get his freedom any moment. A moment ago, inside the castle¡­ He after said that added another thing. ¡°And it seems like my status is around 10-15. From these stats seems like an average person would have, right?¡± ¡°Yes it does.¡± Of course he lie half of it, after all his wisdom and reflex was way higher than an average person would have. He was taking this chance to reduce the king¡¯s favor towards him so he could get out as soon as possible. Because of that, the king poured a cold gaze towards him. ¡¯Kukuku¡­ He probably thinks now how to get rid me from this castle but I¡¯ll be much quicker than that, you know!¡¯ ¡°So, it seems that I can fight well like heroes so¡­Can His Majesty excused me from this invitation. After all, I don¡¯t want to die at young age. I still have a lot of thing to do. And from point of view, it seems like I can¡¯t go back to my world ¡¯soon¡¯ so I¡¯ll do just what I want at this world.¡± Kagerou¡¯s word surprised all people in the room and the most surprised was of course¡­ the king. After all they didn¡¯t think that I¡¯ll put this scene for real. Maybe one or two of them was trying to think how to get rid me from this castle without the heroes knowing themselves. Kagerou was laughing at them right inside his mind because he put the scene into his favor. ¡¯Right now, I just don¡¯t want them to interrupt my fun in this world.¡¯ ¡°Wait a minute, Kagerou-san! Why don¡¯t you fight with us? We¡¯ll protect you for sure!¡± ¡°Yeah! With this hero power, I can protect you at by my side.¡± ¡°Kagerou-kun, No matter how I think, you¡¯ll be safe with us.¡± ¡°Right the world out there was dangerous enough, not like our world where its safe for certain.¡± ¡¯Touka really was a fooled because he said he think that I could fight alongside him. Nana, who always at his side probably said like that to appeal her side more to him. And why the hell I feel like the Kanzaki¡¯s sister was blushing while saying that they¡¯ll support me well?¡¯ But Kagerou for the sake of not wanting to be controlled by country had put his act first so he¡¯ll do so. ¡°I was clearly doesn¡¯t have power, and yet you said I should fight alongside all of you? You think that your power was enough to cover me while focusing in battle?¡± All four of them were silent meanwhile the king was stared at Kagerou waiting for his next word. All people stared him hardly make him feel like losing his confidence so he took a deep breath while preparing for his next word. ¡°So, that¡¯s why I will go out from this castle and live as commoner. With this I¡¯m done here right, Your Majesty?¡± ¡¯I put quite sarcasm there. He¡¯ll notice it right? Oh, he was able to notice it. I feel quite fresh to be able to see his red angered face.¡¯ The king then ordered the guards to guide him to the outside of the castle (throw him away from castle). He understood perfectly that his plan was succeed. Back to earlier¡­.. Because of the scene he made inside the castle happened, Kagerou was now happily strolling around the shops. He was perfectly aware of surrounding people as they were gazing at him, no, precisely at his never-seen-before clothes. Perfectly aware of this fact, he went to clothing shop in order to get a new image. By the way he was using the money that the king gaves him before hee was kicked out from the castle. A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. With a black longcoat covered him, he continued his search for a cheap inn. He immediately register for 3 days for the cost of 1 gold worth. [i0 Copper=1 Silver, 10 Silver=1 Gold, 100 Gold=1 White Gold, 10 White Gold=1 Platinum Gold] Inside his room, he was blankly stare at the ceiling while his thought was revving at full speed. ¡¯Let¡¯s arrange what I understand at the moment about my status.¡¯ ¡¯status¡¯ Status Name: Kagerou Ibuki Title: The one who had High Aptitude, The one who act well, The one who got dragged into Summoning Magic, Just a Pebbles Stone Aptitude Skill Type: [Void] [Martial Art] [Body Strengthening] [Mind] Stats: Strength - 14, Agility - 16, Dexterity - 23, Vitality - 21, Wisdom - 40, Defense - 15, Reflex - 51 Skill: [Insight] [Battle Awareness] [Combat Mode] [Analyze] [Multi Thought] ¡¯Hmm. Now I noticed it, Does this world was not perfectly replicate game-like system? Or is it just that this world game system was not like the game system we know?¡¯ Kagerou notice that this world game system doesn¡¯t have Character Level and because of that he assume that the growth was not by getting experience itself. ¡¯More likely, the growth must be done by a certain action. But if we do that, doesn¡¯t that means that everyone was already OP?¡¯ ¡¯What do I miss? How do I growth to become strong? Right no I can only think that the answer was collect more skill¡­¡¯ Kagerou thought a moment¡­. ¡¯Can skill combine? Lets try some.¡¯ Without any time to waste, he active [Analyze] and [Insight] simultaneously but nothing happen. He thought again and again until he arrive to conclusion; that some skill will be create when a certain percentage of the used skill and certain action- based restriction was done. It was proved when he acquired: [Prediction (Analyze=46%, Insight=54%)] [Battle Insight (Battle Awareness=23%, Insight=77%)] ¡¯Hmm. This is also not the last answer. Depend on the person, the answer would probably arrived at different answer with a logical reason.¡¯ ¡¯What else? The condition for character growth¡­. if we based it on the game system, then shouldn¡¯t it be by upgrading the skill and if I guessing it correctly, the exp the usual game system has would be change into stats point, right?¡¯ Kagerou was in battle with himself today for a long night. By the way, when he arrived to his final conclusion, it was already midnight. Status Name: Kagerou Ibuki Title: The one who had High Aptitude, The one who act well, The one who got dragged into Summoning Magic, Just a Pebbles Stone Aptitude Skill Type: [Void] [Martial Art] [Body Strengthening] [Mind] Stats: Strength - 14, Agility - 16, Dexterity - 23, Vitality - 21, Wisdom - 40, Defense - 15, Reflex - 51 Skill: [Insight] [Battle Awareness] [Combat Mode] [Analyze] [Multi Thought] [Prediction] [Battle Insight] [Appraisal] ¡¯With this, next I should just proved that my theory was correct. But to fight, I need weapon. Then, I should have money to buy full battle equipment. Based on that, I should join Adventurer Guild, huh?¡¯ Kagerou who excited to join the Adventurer Guild and then proved his theory, slept nicely. Chapter 03: Adventure Guild The next day, Kagerou went to the Guild to register himself as adventurer. He walked through all shops he strolled around yesterday straight to the guild. He pushed the door and saw a spectacled sight in front of him. Adventurers who were idling around doing nothing silently stared at him. Their gaze made him felt sick, so he went straight to receptionist counter. ¡°Um, can I register as an Adventurer? I¡¯m still a rookie.¡± Before the receptionist can replied his answer, someone was standing behind him while applying a killing intent to him. He who was always calm, shuddered by the man¡¯s killing intent. ¡°Hey, brat. I¡¯m gonna warn you through and through, so make sure you remember it. Don¡¯t ever come here and applied as an adventurer if you think you are rookie!¡± ¡°I have a manner and as a diligent person, I would not proudly says I¡¯m the strongest.¡± ¡°This brat¡­¡± ¡°Please don¡¯t fight here¡­.¡± The person who stared at Kagerou, gazed at receptionist, which started to paled unable to hold this degree of killing intent. ¡°Don¡¯t do that to her, Meathead. She just wanted to stop this meaningless fight.¡± Because he was provoked by Kagerou¡¯s word, He aim to punch him hard enough to make him barely unconscious. Unfortunately, Kagerou had a high reflex and wit. Besides, he also had [Prediction], [Combat Mode] and [Multi Thought]. By dodging the punch to the left side, he caught his hand while locking as he intent to performing a reverse roundhouse kick aiming at his neck. Because of the force from he absorbed and the gravity pull, make his kick much faster and heavier than the punch that was throw by that man. The kick unfortunately doesn¡¯t reach the neck as he intend to aim, that person was lucky. But the power of that kick was ridiculous. Even the kick doesn¡¯t landed on the vital point of the body, it still landed on his body. A loud sound was heard inside the guild. The person then fell with a thump sound echoing. He was after all lying there unconscious. Well, if you receiving the kick that had combined the punching force of that man, the pull of gravity, air resistance and kicker¡¯s strength, you would be lying unconscious too. Everyone was gasp and flabbergasted. As they thought, the one that fell down was not the self-proclaimed rookie but one of the famous adventurer. Because everyone still shocked, he urged the receptionist to started he registration. ¡°Um, sir¡­¡± ¡°Kagerou. Kagerou Ibuki. Just called me Kagerou.¡± ¡°Um, sure. Kagerou-san, please fill this registration form.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t write.¡± ¡°Huh? Sorry, what is it again?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t write my name well.¡± ¡°Seriously?¡± The receptionist was in deep shocked. On this day she had shocked for many times already. ¡°Um, Why?¡± ¡°Well, I¡¯m not a native here¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay we can still understand other language writing.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Then he write his name, Kagerou Ibuki, in katakana guessing that it might work here. He hand his form to the receptionist-san. Receptionist who wasreading his form started to make a ridiculed face. ¡°Is this really your language? I¡¯m unable to understand any of it!¡± ¡¯Yeah, yeah. That¡¯s why I don¡¯t want to write. It was troublesome to explain it.¡¯ Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. ¡°Only my clan does have that language writing and it seems like my clan doesn¡¯t have any sort of relationship with outsider.¡± ¡°But, how can you speak¡­ Do you perhaps using magic?¡± ¡°Yes, it was called [All Language Comprehension]. By using this magic, the caster can speak any language that the caster had never have speak before.¡± ¡°Amazing¡­.¡± The receptionist sent amazed gaze at him. But he was not proud of it because after all it was a lie. ¡°Then, does that magic can deal with writing?¡± ¡°No. This magic only using air vibration to send the voice wave, and by slightly changing the voice wave in the air, it will perfectly send the voice slightly different from usual and sent to the caster with the same wave as the caster.¡± ¡°Truly complex¡­your magic is.¡± ¡°Well, thanks.¡± ¡°Then please tell me your name is.¡± ¡°My name is, Kagerou Ibuki.¡± ¡°Then, what¡¯s your age?¡± ¡°My age is 17.¡± ¡°But you look young.¡± ¡°Everyone told me so.¡± ¡°Okay, what job do you wish to specialize on?¡± ¡°Um, [Monster Extermination], [Monster Hunting] and [Travelling Escort].¡± ¡°Understood. Then what type of fighting style do you have?¡± ¡°Sword and Martial Art with a least of Magic.¡± ¡°Done. Now please wait for the registration, okay?¡± He waiting at the counter while looking at his own status. And he not amazed by the new thing appeared in his status.

Who the hell, that can¡¯t properly name all skill perfectly!?!¡¯ He was least angered and thinking of going berserk at this place but he then calmed after looking at his status again. ¡¯I guess, it means that any kind of experience involving special action will be rewards in form of stats point. Then, let¡¯s added all 5 to Magic as I think I should because I still can¡¯t use magic yet.¡¯ ¡°Okay, here is your Adventurer Card. This served as your identity when you want to enter the city and it was also had a function of bank withdrawal.¡± ¡°Thanks. Oh by the way, is there anyone who can teach me how to write the language?

Please to be in your care, Yuna.¡± The fate for Kagerou change again with him being with her. Chapter 04: Quest and Training (Kind of....)
At a grassy field, there was a guy wandering around looking for something. He is none other than Kagerou Ibuki, [world traveler] who just signed up to be an adventurer in the adventure guild moment ago. After he signed up, he took a quest for this day as the day still not set. He selected quest that is to collect as much as ten pieces of magical herbs. He who has collected ten magical herb took a break in the middle of a grassy field while looking at the surrounding area with caution. After certain that no monster would appears near him, he mutter status inside his mind.

And based on my understanding, void is something like the beginning and the end of all creation. ¡¯ ¡°So what did I have to do for now is an experiment.¡± ¡°I will aim for today that I would manipulate Void.¡± He tried to understand how the nothingness would feel like. So he emptied his mind and replicate his imagination of how blank his mind was. By paying a certain amount of time, he successfully reach the void. |[Void Detection] skill was acquired| With that alone was a great achievement for him in advancing his skill further. By enhancing his speed processing, he learn the skill that he want not long after. |[Void Manipulation] skill was acquired| ¡¯Great. Now, lets get to the next aptitude.

By using [Instant Learning], he already can use all kind of martial arts moves with a slight problem, he doesn¡¯t have control over his body. That¡¯s why he move around more by a couple of times until he feels that he moves much better. |[Body Stability] skill was acquired||[Body Movement] skill was acquired| Apparently after he got this skill, his movement and stability become much better. He happily ran through the field and enters the forest. Running and running which made him forgot to be aware of his surroundings. Because of that, he already entered the forest that filled with mid-level monsters and of course he still would not be able to defeat them. When he was far enough deep inside the forest, he realized that¡­ ¡®I suddenly enter into the center of the forest which a group of high-level monster was here. Damn it, me.¡¯ He cursed himself because of his slackness, he now in dangerous. Chapter 05: Dangerous Situation
He immediately stop running like an idiot, he was at the center of a high-level monster. Most of it was a monster that had a body shaped like human, 5 meters tall and full armored with them emitted a heavy bloodlust aura. Yes obviously, it was an abnormal rare Orc king and his general. ¡¯This is bad, I don¡¯t know how strong they¡¯re but by guessing the bloodlust intense, they¡¯re one of the dangerous monster in this area.¡¯ ¡¯Lets appraise them first.¡¯ Status Name: Kirgul the Orc King Title: The one who save his kinds, The one who rule his kinds, King of Monster Dangerous Level: SS Skill: [King Declaration] [Monster Tamer] [Oblige] [Warmonger] [Berserker] [King Dash] [King Slash] [Strong Arm] [Super Grip] [Storage] [Copulate] Status Name: Imugi the Orc King¡¯s Henchman Title: The strongest Orc, Ruthless, Human Abductor, Enemy of woman Dangerous Level: SSS Skill: [Abyss Flame] [Doom Slash] [Abyss Energy] [Berserker] [Strong Arm] [Grip] [Void Slash] [Loyal Guard] [Copulate] ¡¯Uh, the stronger one was here.

Because of that, Armagen took this chance to sneak behindhim and end this. Armagen does that because he was caution of the man in front of them. With [One Hit Kill], he slashed at Kagerou¡¯s back. Kagerou was unable to react to this attack causing him took the damage. He then collapsed dying there with a big slash at his back. The man who name Kagerou died there. The orcs making a fuss over this killed. After all, the toy they had found was killed instantly by their guard.

The Orcs probablythink that they were safe but Armagen can¡¯t deny his thought of that human. ¡¯He calmly analyze the situation although he doesn¡¯t have the strong one aura. Normal human when sees Orcs, they would run flee from us but not him. He make sure that his enemies are all there before assessing what action he should take. From there I can only assume that he was stupid or abnormallycalm but¡­ I don¡¯t know anymore. Damn it.¡¯ Armagen cursed for he himself unable to prepared to counter this situation, with a groan and pain-like expression shown on his face. Regan who sees Armagen murmuring himself, he annoyingly went walking besides him. Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon. [You probably still thinking about that ¡¯toy¡¯] ¡ª Regan [You know¡­. Although you say he was weak, I can¡¯t deny my feeling that something was missing. It smells fishy, you know?] ¡ª Armagen [Here, look yourself his status] ¡ª Regan Regan handed him a paper. On that paper filled with a letters and number. It was Kagerou¡¯s Status. Status Name: Kagerou Ibuki Title: [Magic Theory Expert] [Joker] [Just a Pebbles Stone] Stats: Strength - 14, Agility - 16, Dexterity - 23, Vitality - 21, Wisdom - 40, Defense - 15, Reflex ¡ª 51 Skill: [Magic Theory] [Hyper Cognition] [His skill is too less. It seems suspicious.] ¡ª Armagen [I¡¯ll say this again and again. He is weak, you understand? Besides even he had such skill, he wouldn¡¯t put us on tough level, right?] ¡ª Regan [That¡¯s true, but¡­.] ¡ª Armagen [Quit your nonsense, Armagen. Before Imugi snapped and going berserk.] ¡ª Regan Armagen looked at Imugi and noticed that Imugi was right now glared at him with hatred. Armagen silently walked after being glared like that although he feels uneasy. He started to forget the very man he was uneasy about. ¡¯I wonder how I become like this?¡¯ ¡ª Kagerou Kagerou had a look at himself which was lying there without any movement. Of course, he feel wanted to freak out but he couldn¡¯t. After all, he had becomes something like spirit wandering around his corpse. While groaning thinking how to solve this problem he had now¡­¡­ ¡¯Hang on a second. I can feel something in this space.¡¯ ¡ª Kagerou He pondered over this mystery. What he feels right now was an energy that had perfect synergy with his aptitude; Void. He tried to absorb the energy that he feels a moment ago. He took a moment to fill the energy into his spirit and his body. When it was done, he tried to feel it again, and he was pretty sure that he can feel it clearly that this energy is perfect for his skill. He tried to manipulate the energy yet he fails. He tried it repeatedly to manipulate this energy without fail. Yet he only managed to manipulate a portion of this energy but he was happy with the result. He believes that only time that he will manage to manipulate the energy itself perfectly. Unfortunately time was not on his side. It was because after all¡­ [Kagerou Ibuki, 17 years old, gender: male, status: died because of one hit from high-level monster ranked S. Is that you?] ¡ª Unknown Currently his body froze from that statement. He wonders why his body unable to move. Not only that, he also wonder how that person knows his name and age perfectly without having a relationship with himself. He looked at that person. Wearing a dark black long coat with a hoodie and covered with mysteries aura surrounding him. It was not even a joke because Kagerou doesn¡¯t even recognize this man. [You probably were pondering over my identity. But for now just follow me.] ¡ª Unknown Even he doesn¡¯t really want to follow along, for some reason his body just react by his command. He was curious about this mystery as he can¡¯t even act on his own. It was almost look like a marionette. ¡¯It must have been probably a magic. Command Magic? No, if judge this magic correctly, it messing with soul was probably the correct theory.¡¯ ¡ª Kagerou He was amazed of this magic that can cause a direct interference to a soul magic. For now he was able to calm and think over the plan. As he was thinking, the person had brought him to the dark like gate. He wondered how he should return to his body [Welcome to the Purgatory. Here you¡¯ll be tested either you would go to heaven, hell or reincarnate to the mortal world. Are you ready to join this test?] As soon he said that, Kagerou paused for a moment before agreeing to himself that he doesn¡¯t want to enter the test. ¡°I don¡¯t want to go with that option. Send me back to my body.¡± - Kagerou Chapter 06: Dangerous Situation Part 2 [May I ask why do you refuse?] ¨C Unknown ¡°Because I still alive,¡± ¨C Kagerou [No, you were dead. Your existence proves it.] ¨C Unknown ¡°I¡¯ll deny it to the fullest!¡± ¨C Kagerou [And with what power that¡¯s backed your word?] ¨C Unknown ¡°With my will to survive,¡± ¨C Kagerou [You amused me, human.] ¨C Unknown The mysterious person was laughing loudly. It makes Kagerou a little bit annoyed. [Prove it to me then, human.] ¨C Unknown ¡°With pleasure,¡± ¨C Kagerou With the sudden declaration, Kagerou rushed towards him. Of course, He had already expecting this kind of performance from Kagerou. Because of that, he relaxed his body but that his weakness started to appear. Kagerou who sees that opening like as he planned, used skill. ¡°[Burst],¡± ¨C Kagerou [What?!!] ¨C Unknown With that skill activated, Kagerou¡¯s movement become much faster as his speed had been applied by a hundred fold. His body started to blurry and at the same time an afterimage had been performed. [It was interesting but it is still not enough to¡­] ¨C Unknown ¡°Sure¡­ I¡¯ll add a couple of surprised!¡± ¨C Kagerou Kagerou rushed to him in the straight line, with speed that incomparable to before. But to him it was¡­ [Na?ve!!] ¨C Unknown He send a direct force to Kagerou which it would be enough to gale Kagerou away creating a distance. But to Kagerou who had planned all along¡­ ¡°Like I said I will add more surprised!!¡± ¨C Kagerou He jumped at the perfect timing, avoiding the direct blow upon him. He already leaped more than 5 metres from the ground, but it was considered as wrong moves because of it most fatal weakness; he can¡¯t defend properly. He who had saw this opening directly send a dark fireball toward Kagerou. Kagerou who knows perfectly that he will die if that magic hits him, activate his second new skill¡­ ¡°Like I said before, it would be surprised!! [Air Compact]! ,¡± ¨C Kagerou All of sudden, Kagerou moved far to the side on air, avoiding the magic. He was dumbfounded while looking at Kagerou meanwhile Kagerou looking at him with a triumph face as he had surprised him with success. [Air Compact] is a skill that compact the air that it will form an invisible platform and suitable for jumping platform for Kagerou to jump sideways. (How he can create new skill while performing combat and fighting seriously?) ¨C Unknown He wondered over the question for a moment but erased it as soon as he giving up on pursuing the answer. It was because after all he arrived at answer that perfectly suit his personality; that nothing will changed at all. He then cast multiple dark fireball around him and send at Kagerou at faster rate than before. Kagerou who saw this moment considered again new move. He thought another idea. He compressed the air by using [Air Compact] and burst it by release the skill. He successfully avoided the magic and create a new skill, [Air Jet]. He shock for a moment but then shifted his focus on damaging Kagerou at least. Kagerou who got the new skill [Air Jet] without any shred of hesitation, used it combine with [Air Compact]. Because of the skill had the same nature with each other, it was perfectly sync for a gushing moment. Within the burst moment, Kagerou moves around him while create more of his afterimage. He who got surround by Kagerou, use this chance to blasted Kagerou in short distance. [Shockwave] ¨C Unknown He applied a wave vibrating around him at faster rate than normal. Kagerou was attacked while he created more afterimage. This is his first time he received damage in spirit form and it hurts more than from his body. Because of that, he thought¡­ ¡®I should get back inside my body.¡¯ ¨C Kagerou ¡°Hey, while we were fighting here, why don¡¯t you speak your name?¡± ¨C Kagerou [Why do I?] ¨C Unknown ¡°Because you are still seems relaxed while fighting me.¡± ¨C Kagerou Although what Kagerou said is truth, he still feels that he was being insult. Kagerou fighting him with all his power, yet he can still laid back while only released least of his power to fight Kagerou. Kagerou was again being reminded that he couldn¡¯t defeat the higher rank that easily. Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation. [I don¡¯t have name.] ¨C Unknown ¡°Why?¡± ¨C Kagerou [It doesn¡¯t concern you.] ¨C Unknown ¡°It seems like you are agitated.¡± ¨C Kagerou [No, I¡¯m not] ¨C Unknown ¡°Yes, you are.¡± ¨C Kagerou [I doesn¡¯t agitated, you brat.] ¨C Kagerou ¡°It does seem like I was right.¡± ¨C Kagerou [You, brat¡­] ¨C Unknown ¡°Don¡¯t praise me so much. I will feel shy from your praise.¡± ¨C Kagerou [You damn brat¡­] ¨C Unknown ¡°Oh it was another one. Thank you, now I feel shy.¡± ¨C Kagerou What Kagerou was doing right now was provoking him. After all, Kagerou want to analyse his enemy power directly. If he can see his enemy full power, he can plan to counter it. How he can do it? By using both [Analyze] and [Hyper Cognition], Kagerou can analyse his enemy within seconds. By that alone, it was enough for Kagerou to fight him barely. But by using all his skill he had, the skill he just created from this fight, and the skill that he just thought on the moment; He use every of it. Without hiding skill and use it freely, Kagerou grows again and again until he got a chance to fight with him in perfect balance. Meanwhile he got wary of Kagerou. After all, every time he attacked Kagerou he feels like his opponent got a chance to growth. Every time his opponent dodged his attack, he grew. Sometimes he got countered. That¡¯s why to him, the longer he spent the time on this fight, the stronger his opponent will get. He no longer laid back, act easy and mock his opponent that was in front of him. He no longer does that. [It seems like you are starting to get more dangerous than before.] ¨C Unknown Kagerou had started to sweat. By no means was it an act. After all, he shuddered from the burst of his opponent bloodlust. It was too intense that he who survived earlier from the Orcs bloodlust feels like it is better to run away in this moment. But he shuddered only for a moment. His body temperature rise and he started to feel warm. Kagerou at that time just think that he shouldn¡¯t be careless and continue to¡­ enjoy the fight. [Oi, brat. Why did you smile like that?] ¨C Unknown ¡°Smile? What are you talking about?¡± ¨C Kagerou [You should check your own face.] ¨C Unknown Kagerou touched his own face as per instructed. To his surprised, he was grinning evilly. But he doesn¡¯t feel bad about his smile rather he totally pleased with the current situations. After all, he was pleased with his great growth just by fighting this mysterious person. ¡®Not bad. I feel like if I stay like this, I can growth more than before.¡¯ ¨C Kagerou Kagerou also started to feel like it was necessary to become that type of person. Because of that, he started to ease his heart by his sudden change and focusing in this battle. Meanwhile, his opponent is still pondering over Kagerou¡¯s growth. He totally was not pleased with current development. Besides he feels unpleasant toward his opponent sudden burst growth. He asking himself; How did this happen? Why he growth limitlessly? What is this unpleasant aura that covers him? When will he power surpassed him? Which option did he have to stop his unlimited growth? And why do I feel like regret to not erase the existence himself before this sudden growth? He pondered again and again until he arrived to one only conclusion. [As I thought, it is better to erase you than sending you to the Purgatory. You¡¯ll soon become a dangerous existence than can damage even God-class being. That¡¯s why I¡¯ll use my full power to the extent that you can¡¯t growth within one second. So don¡¯t expect me to pity you while fighting with each other.] ¨C Unknown ¡°Cut the bullshit. I¡¯ll survive on my own till the end. Even the end of world had already decided inside Akashic Records, I¡¯ll fight throughout the flow of the world¡¯s gear of fate!¡± ¨C Kagerou ¡°¡­¡­¡­¡± ¨C Kagerou Kagerou paused a moment. He bewildered within this second. He thoroughly thinking what was he said a moment before. Realized that what he said before, he react¡­ ¡®Wait a fucking minute. What did I say? Akashic Records? Gear of Fate? Why did say like that on my own within the moment? This is unpleasant.¡¯ ¨C Kagerou Kagerou frowned because of the fact that he said something that he himself doesn¡¯t recognized. He feels like something had whispered to him to say those words. Rather he feels like he wanted to reverse the time back to where he was saying like that and slapped himself for being tempted to say those words. But he doesn¡¯t know the fact that those words soon become his own reality; because fate had already chose him rather than those heroes. [Now, let¡¯s begin.] ¨C Unknown ¡°Before we started, I like to ask you.¡± ¨C Kagerou [What is it?] ¨C Unknown ¡°Why don¡¯t you have names?¡± ¨C Kagerou [¡­..] ¨C Unknown ¡°Why?¡± ¨C Kagerou [¡­¡­] ¨C Unknown Kagerou stared at him with a questioning look on his face. He stares back at Kagerou, before he averted his look away. [Um, I don¡¯t know?] ¨C Unknown ¡°¡­..¡± ¨C Kagerou [¡­..] ¨C Unknown ¡°¡­¡­¡± ¨C Kagerou [W-what is it?] ¨C Unknown ¡°I pitied you.¡± ¨C Kagerou [Why do I feel like I want to smack your face right now while crying?] ¨C Unknown ¡°Um, dejected?¡± ¨C Kagerou [Now, I feel mad.] ¨C Unknown ¡°Um, because it was correct?¡± ¨C Kagerou [¡­¡­.] ¨C Unknown ¡°¡­¡­¡± ¨C Kagerou [Are you reading my mind?] ¨C Unknown ¡°Yes and No.¡± ¨C Kagerou [Why answered both?] ¨C Unknown ¡°It was no because I totally can¡¯t read your mind, and yes because it was all over your face.¡± ¨C Kagerou [Can I kill you now?] ¨C Unknown ¡°Um, I don¡¯t want to die yet?¡± ¨C Kagerou [Please die now.] ¨C Unknown ¡°You are mad?¡± ¨C Kagerou [Yes and No] ¨C Unknown ¡°Don¡¯t answer my question with my answer!¡± ¨C Kagerou [Irritating Brat] ¨C Unknown ¡°Uncool Bastard,¡± ¨C Kagerou ¡°[What do you say?!!]¡± ¨C Unknown & Kagerou ¡°Okay. Now I feel like wanting to kill- no, it is better to erase your existence from this world.¡± ¨C Kagerou [It seems like I feel the same] ¨C Unknown ¡°......¡± ¨C Kagerou [¡­¡­.] ¨C Unknown ¡°AAARGHHHHHH!!!¡± ¨C Kagerou [KAAAARGGGHHHHH!!!!] ¨C Unknown They continued their comedy for hours. Both of them continuing arguing with each other while stop their battle within the heat.
At the Orc Village, [Hey, Armagen] ¨C Regan [What is it, Regan?] ¨C Armagen Regan showed his right hand to Armagen. [What is the opposite of hand?] ¨C Regan [It is a silly question. Of course it would be feet.] ¨C Armagen [The answer is wrong, Armagen. Kulkulkul.] ¨C Regan [Then, what is correct?] ¨C Armagen [The real answer is left hand. Kulkulkulkul.] ¨C Regan Vein appeared at Armagen¡¯s head. After all, he was tricked by Regan. He showed his right hand and started to clutch his hand harder. Regan¡¯s face became all white. He started to sweat a lot. [Then, do you know what this was?] ¨C Armagen [Um, fist?] ¨C Regan [No. This is your present.] ¨C Armagen [Um, thanks but I don¡¯t want to receive that kind of presents.] ¨C Regan [Please receive it for your own sake. After all, you are my comrade.] ¨C Armagen [I don¡¯t want it! I was too harsh, please forgive me!] ¨C Regan [No, I was kind today so I¡¯ll give it 100 times, okay?] ¨C Armagen [NOOOOOOO!!!!] ¨CRegan Armagen chased Regan around the village. Meanwhile, the Orc King Kirgul was meeting with his Ministers heard the scream inside the Village Hall called Imugi. [Imugi.] ¨C Kirgul [Yes, milord.] ¨C Imugi [Please warn them to be quiet, please. I¡¯m in meeting.] ¨C Kirgul [Certainly, milord.] ¨C Imugi Imugi disappeared from the hall instantly.
[Please forgive me already. You are right. My joke was too far so please forgave me already.] ¨C Regan [Nope. I don¡¯t want to forgive you.] ¨C Armagen [Warghhhhhhhh!!] ¨C Regan They still tag with each other, or rather Armagen still chasing Regan with an evil grin plastered on his face. [Please slow your voice, both of you. Our lord was currently in meeting.] ¨C Imugi [You are here, Imugi. Please help me!!!] ¨C Regan [Oh you¡¯re here, Imugi. Please help me caught that bastard.] ¨C Armagen [I don¡¯t want to interrupt your business but I come here just to warn both of you to low your voice because our lord is still meeting.] ¨CImugi [Eh?! Please help me, Imugi?] ¨C Regan [Okay, I¡¯ll low my voice but in return don¡¯t interrupt my business, can you?] ¨C Armagen [Imugi?] ¨C Regan While Regan desperately asking for his friend¡¯s help, Imugi averted his eyes from them. [Rest in peace, my friend.] ¨C Imugi [You traitorrrrrrr!!!] ¨C Regan [Thanks to ignore us!] ¨C Armagen They continued running.

Although they probably glaring for a couple of minutes within their thought, in reality it was already an hour of glaring with wariness. Since they only just glared at each other, there''s nothing they''d do in times. So that''s why, Kagerou ended his glare towards his opponent unable to continue their glaring contest. "let''s stop glaring towards each other already. I''m tired of glaring, you know," - Kagerou [Yeah, it seems so to me.] - Unknown "Instead, let''s started our fight already." - Kagerou [Agreed.] - Unknown Both relaxed their stance for a moment, before started to dash toward each other. Both of them are fast, but to Kagerou, he felt like as long as he activate his new skill, [Zone], he can move 25 times faster than the current him right now. But he didn''t do so, instead of using [Zone] that drain 75% of his energy, he use [Burst] that had stacked up to 5 times to match with his opponent and only use 25% of his energy. With that, he match with his opponent speed. They arrived at the center earlier than their thought. Probably thinking of the same thing, they send to each other with their puch to drift their opponent away. Both of their fist hit each other, created a massive shockwave spreading around them far.
While in meeting, Kirgul could feel the trembling earth as the scale of the shockwave was big enough to reach him. While feeling the shockwave, he stopped the meeting for a while and calling Imugi. All of his minister who saw Imugi''s sudden appearance had gone deep silenced. It was of course they had already used to it. [Yes, milord. Do you need me for anything?] - Imugi [Do you feel ''that'' too?] - Kirgul [Yes, milord.] - Imugi [What was happen actually?] - Kirgul [I don''t have any idea about this situation, milord.] - Imugi [Hmmm......Is that so.] - Kirgul [Yes it is, milord.] - Imugi Kirgul pondered for a moment. He thought over and over for the best action to neutralised this situation but nothing comes to his mind. He frowned and because of such a thing, ministers whispering to each other with worried and exasperated expression covers their face. [Hey, what''s going on? To make our lord frown over such a thing, this situation must be severed!] - Minister B [I don''t know! This is the second time I see our lord was this desperate.] - Minister A [Then, what is the first?] - Minister C [The hero summoning. Human was directly summoning human from another world to used them as a convinient tool.] - Minister A [But, we have the strongest Orc within our side! Even it was a hero, they can''t beat Armagen to death.] - Minister D [You sure said some silly thing. Hero had the Goddess blessing, Right now they might be weak but if the time goes on the Hero would become much stronger.] - Minister A [T-then... what should we do?] - Minister E [I-I-I.... I don''t have any Idea!] - Minister A While the ministers panicked over themselves, Imugi was standing there quietly. He already thought that this might be happen. After all, he sensed dread aura from the shockwave earlier and~ [Although it may feel thin, but for sure that was his aura. How can he survived from my hit?] - Imugi He murmured things over and over while questioning himself. Kirgul who still thinking cut his thought and direct his look to Imugi, his servant. [Imugi] - Kirgul [Yes, milord.] - Imugi Imugi stiff with Kirgul suddenly called him. [Go recon and gather information over the current situation. Don''t nessecarily attack if it was enemy. And bring over Armagen with you in case you face with a tough enemy.] - KirgulStolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. [Understood. Within my power, I''ll do it, milord.] - Imugi [Good. Now, go. I need to do some preparation.] - Kirgul [Yes, milord.] - Imugi Kirgul pleased with his subordinate''s reaction. They continued their meeting.
[Mu~ Please forgive me already....] - Regan [I said before right? I''ll gave you presents and my present is 100 times punch, doesn''t it?] - Armagen Armagen who had successfully caught Regan from running raised his hand and clutch his hand harder. Suddenly Imugi reappeared in front of him, caught him off guards. Regan pondered such a thing look behind him. Armagen clicked his tounge meanwhile Regan cheered ffully delighted. [Armagen, you come with me.] - Imugi [I have keep our fight low doesn''t it? Why you want to interrupt Regan''s punishment so much!] - Armagen [Yes, it is like I though. This is my friend. He''ll after all wouldn''t abandon his friend!] - Regan [No. It was not that. Our lord asked me to investigate something and you''ll be my bodyguard.] - Imugi Che- clicking sound was heard from Armagen. Regan still nonstop sweating as his face wet. He only hope that Armagen stop chasing him for a while. This is chance for him from receiving his punch. He hope so much that Armagen just followed Imugi while ignoring him. [Tch--- It can''t be helped. I''ll go with you. After all, this is our lord order.] - Armagen [Yaaaaayyyyyy~~~] - Regan [But.... Once I return to the village, you need to help me catch this guy and beat him to sense!] - Armagen [!!!!!] - Regan Please don''t do that, please don''t do that. He hope with that though as Imugi pondered for his answer. But mercilessly.... [Okay. I''ll help you.] - Imugi [!!!!!] - Regan [Yesssss!] - Armagen Regan was struck dumbfounded. After all, his current hope was mercilessly struck down his own divine punishment. He despaired over his own thought. [Why?] - Regan [Rest in Peace, my friend.] - Imugi [You traitorrrr!] - Regan Now he had to hide at least for weeks from Armagen''s punch.
The fight still continue. They fight all over with Magic and Martial Arts. Yet none still fallen down from fighting, as if they have countless stamina to continue their fight. And their ability was comparable to each other that none of them were injured badly. [What''s with that technique!! Even it hit me, it still doesn''t hurt me badly!! You brat!] - Unknown "Huh, same to you, bastard. What''s that? I can dodge it pretty easily, you know.] - Kagerou [For a brat like you talking like that, you sure have tough nerve!!] - Unknown "Thanks but I refuse to be acknowledge by some old looking men!" - Kagerou [Now, you really want to die, don''t you?] - Unknown While they were fighting, they insulting each other. They have quite vigor as they restlessly cursing each other. They both already fighting on par, while having limitless stamina. They had already nonstop fighting for a couple of hours, while none of them withdraw their weapon. They already intent to end the battle faster while reducing the hit they would take. They dashing towards the center but this time they were more faster, create a trace of light respectively with their body. The mysterious leaves the trace of black reddish lights which in forms of lightning sparks through the storm, meanwhile Kagerou leaves the trace of white bluish lights in forms of flowing waters through the streams. Both of them have a strong blinding trace covered their body respected to their will. With an urge to step forward facing their opponent with their full power, They relesed too its full extent. Those lights starting to reforms around them and mixed with their own aura, which strengthen the intense of the light. It is because both of them doesn''t want to retreat fro their own fight, they renew their own aim to overpower each other. So, they release their aura that have mixed with the trace, to covered this field. More intense, more deadly, and because of the deep bloodlust within their aura, every animal and monster which near them died instantly. "Heh, old man. Nice aura you have there. A perfect colors suit to a more mysterious type person like old man." - Kagerou [Same to you, brat. A perfect aura just for a weak human who always struggles to survive. It still lukewarm to me.] - Unknown "Heeheehee~" - Kagerou [Kukukukukku~] - Unknown Both of them praise and insult toward each other. But for sure, the insult sting them more as vein popping at their forehead while restraing their own urge to burst out in rage. After all, they have received for how long, provocation from their opponent. Those rage they kept within them almost burst every time they receive the insult but they calmed themselves. But before they can start to fight while releasing their all rage, a cold, deep violet aura covered them. And the intense of that aura can even diminish their aura instantly. Frozen from the blizzard aura, they both still stood there motionless. At the center of the battlefield, there stood a beautiful lady, wearing a dark black dress. With a shining white wing on her back, it looks like an angel but unfortunately with her aura that was feel lack of emotion in it makes Kagerou thought that woman probably had some relation with his opponent. And bingo, thats what on Kagerou''s mind after all, he saw that person kneel before he realized towards that woman. [Forgave me, Ririana-sama. Right now I was trying to erase this man because of his resistance toward death-] - Unknown [Who says you can talk now?] - Ririana [Forgive me, Ririana-sama.] - Unknown [Now, human. Don''t resist. Follow me. Our lord want to meet you.] - Ririana "I-I-I refuse-" - Kagerou [You don''t have any right to refuse.] - Ririana With only those put a heavy pressure on him, it feels like he could be erased forever at any time that she wants. Kagerou can''t help but nodded agreeing to follow her. [Now, begone. Human, follow me.] - Ririana [Yes, Ririana-sama. May god bless the death an eternal peace.] - Unknown "........" - Kagerou Yet it seems like the most dangerous part was only getting to start,huh - That''s what Kagerou thought while sweat started to covers his face. She then gone straight to the door that connect to the Purgatory. She raised her hand and hold the door while chanting something. And suddenly, the door shine bright with the magic circles as it looks like a key gate of that door. The door then open slowly. When the door completely open- [Follow me, human.] - Ririana With a reluctant face, Kagerou gave up himself and follows her gone enter the Purgatory. After both of them completely enters, the door start to close back. Meanwhile the [Unknown] reaper dissappear from Kagerou''s sight, leaving those place.
[Did you see that, Armagen.] - Imugi [I see it with my own eye.] - Armagen [S-sorry to irritated you. But-] - imugi [I know. That was a really dangerous upper rank being we have here.] - Armagen While saying that, he gritted his teeth. He felt that aura, and he couldn''t handled it. If anyone dare to bet him to win against that being, he would 99% lose. That''s how he feel. [Let''s retreat.] - Imugi [Yeah. I feel tired. Let''s go back to village already.] - Armagen Chapter 08: Purgatory Purgatory. Someone may called it as Realm of the Dead simply because of the gathering souls in this place waiting for ttheir judgement before departing to another realm, either the Heaven or the Abyss. The Purgatory was needed to proper balancing the world between the Mortal, the Heaven and the Abyss from the cause of overflowing Souls and Mana. This realm, which completely connected to those three, simply circulated all flows in and out with a clean movement. The Souls, gone to the Heaven or the Abyss and the Mana circulated back to the Mortal Realm. But there some special case, where the Souls gone back to the Mortal Realm because of the God''s goodwill or their good deeds. The Souls will be Reincarnated back to the Mortal from earlier as a baby and live a second live. "And, so why am I going to meet God?" - Kagerou "It was not on my proper judgement. We only deals the jobs that God had given to us." - Ririana "Heh~ is that so. And your main job is..." - Kagerou "We the simply gather all the Souls that were found still wandering in the Mortal Realm and brought them to the Purgatory. That is our main job." - Ririana "Hmmm~~" - Kagerou Ririana explained how the world works properly. She also explained the term used.
The [Souls], refers to the souls of the dead mortal beings. The [Missing Souls], refers to the souls that refuse to go the Purgatory and still wandering in the [Mortal Realm] hiding from [Grim Reaper].

"Hmm~~ So basically [Divine] and [Miasma] had a similar properties like [Mana] but have much stronger effect?" - Kagerou "You interested in that?" - Ririana "Yeah? Why?" - Kagerou Kagerou tilted his head to the right, unable to understand the Ririana''s amazed expression. Ririana for only a second show her amazed face, but then changed back to her expressionless. Kagerou amazed by her expressionless. "Yeah both of them had a similar properties with [Mana]. No, instead let''s saying that all three of that was born from [Aether], some people called it the [Miracle]." - Ririana "Huh?" - Kagerou Because of a sudden information gained, Kagerou blurted out his perplexed because he was unable to understand that thing for the time being. "What was it again?" - Kagerou Correction. He understand it yet he want to confirm it as henever heard of that word in this world. That''s why he was over reacted. "Yes. Long ago, this world was just like your world. There''s no magic, no monster and any kind of fantasy beings." - Ririana -She''s ignored me right. I''m just nothing but a peason right. - Kagerou He already escaped reality. After all, he asked her to explained what she is saying before. Despite of that, she continues her explanation. Well he recovers a second later, as he want to hear the history of this world. "But soon after that, the world suddenly trembles. It signaled that the world started to crack and overflowing with aether. At that time, aether only serve as a function to cleaned the world from pollution. Air pollution, Soil pollution, Water pollution and so on." - Ririana "So you saying that, the world released the aether to cleased the pollution. Does it mean that the world also consisted the aether a long time ago?" - Kagerou "But soon after that, because of aether overflowing inside this world, the world change. The world separated itself into five realm; Heaven, Abyss, Purgatory, Mortal and Akashic." - Ririana -She ignores me again. kuugh. - KagerouEnjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site. Because of her constant ignorance from Ririana, he decides to ask god later. After all, he received mental damage just from being ignored by her. "Aether that was overflowing the world also change in a constant rate. Because the aether can influence the living beings just by having a direct contact, aether started to change some of living being, into a monster." - Ririana "Aether serves at first as a cleanser, to clear the pollution. So it was an undeniable fact that aether can absorb most of thing including the negative energy. Because of that, aether separated into three types: Divine, Mana and Miasma. these three then constantly influenced the world until it becomes like now." - Ririana One word. Impressed. That was Kagerou''s state currently. Because of such history happen, he can only nod toward her agreed unconsciously. While both of them still moving to the center of the Purgatory, it can''t be helped that it felt deserted. It was still not a place that living things lives happily and peacefully. Around them was a lurking beasts. All of the beast was looking an opening chance as they want to hunt Kagerou more directly but can''t do so because of Ririana. They only looking at Kagerou with a drool on their face, hungrily dreaming to eat Kagerou while hearing his fear scream seeing the beast. Kagerou who knows that feels relief toward Ririana, having her around him constantly driving the beast away but it also make Kagerou''s crying in his heart. Because he was a man, he doesn''t want to relied on girls protecting him. But with this situation, it can only make him want to cry.
"So, there was an Orc Village near the Royal Palace? Idiot what are you doing!" - King "Y-yes!" - Soldier A "Sent a subjugation unit to that village! If possible destroy the threat before the end of this month!" - King The King roared over soldier because of this report. After all, to have an Orc Village near the Royal Palace means that someone neglecting their duties to sense the demon lurking near the palace. "B-but, the reported that An Orc King was sighted inside the village. Furthermore, there were a total of 400 Orc and most o them can be considered at least a higher B-rank!" - Soldier B "Insolence! So what! Prepares the Army and the Mage! Royal Mages also will participate! It was only 400 Orc and an Orc King!" - King "But if they going on full force, they would be S-rank threat!" - Soldier A "You dare to speak to you own King like that!" - King "I-I''m sorry your majesty but we were all in a dire situation, if we not act fast...." - Soldier A "Guards! Take him to the Dungeon!" - King "P-Please hold on, your Majesty!" - Soldier A The situation inside the palace become chaotic. There''s no one able to restrain their sanity as the calamity would attack this kingdom. And their rage soon calmed after the appearance of their heroes. "You said the Orc King, isn''t?" - Izumi
"Hmm, so basically because of the world sudden overflow with spirits, monsters and apostles, the gods itself split the world into five realm?" - Kagerou "Yes." - Ririana "Is that so~" - Kagerou Kagerou breath in relief while Ririana tilted her head to the right perplexed with Kagerou''s sudden sigh. Well, Kagerou only sigh after one of his question was answered properly. Both of them walked through the desert without having a clear contact with the beasts. It was also obviously that the beasts avoiding making a contact with Ririana, who was walking besides Kagerou. In their mind, she is the real monster and that''s why they avoid her so that they would live. Pretty sure it was also triggers their survival instinct that she would obiterated everything that obstruct her. Because of that, their journey was almost done. Right now, in front of them is a huge city with a 10 meters wall to seperatees the city from the dangers of the wild. If it look at far, it was like a metallic fortress at the center of the desert. Inside the city, there''s too many skyscraper that had reach the blue sky, shows their might to reach the impossibles with willpower. It was a brilliant and magnificient city. "Welcome to the Sigurd City, the dwelling places of souls in [Purgatory]." - Ririana "......." - Kagerou Kagerou was looking at the city in awe. After all, the city was look similar to his world city. The building was created from the metals, bricks annd glasses. It had created the magnificient view of the city and shows the [Souls] who dwell to this places the supreme reign in the [Purgatory]. "So, we have arrive at the place where I need to meet gods ,huh?" - Kagerou "No, we not have arrived yet. This city was only resides by [Souls], so [Gods] was clearly was not here. They would only came to this place in season." - Ririana "Huh? Then what do we have to come here? Why we don''t going straight to [God]''s place?" - Kagerou "Didn''t I say it before? You need a special permisson to bypass this city, especially the [Souls]. [Souls] who intends to bypass the city for an important business needs to get the [City Mayor]''s direct permission." - Ririana "You didn''t even say about such thing!!" - Kagerou "Didn''t I?" - Ririana "Obviously." - Kagerou She ignores him and continues walking to the city. Kagerou who was tired by only speaking to her just follow behind her closely. -Huh, so in the end this adventure would still continue.... - Kagerou Kagerou clears his mind from thinking such things as to not wear his mental out yet. He swore in his heart that he would only ignore Ririana''s personality so that he will not get a mental illness. A question appeared in his mind. he spoke to her to get a clear answer. "Then do you also need a permission?" - Kagerou "It is so obviously no. I am directly working with the [God], so they don''t want to incur the [God]''s wrath by obstructing our jobs." - Ririana "Heh~~ so [God] would get angry if they annoyed you all?" - Kagerou "It was a misinterpretention." - Ririana "Huh?" - Kagerou "They misunderstanding if our job was obstructed, [God]''s will destroy them." - Ririana "So?" - Kagerou "[God] would obviously not getting angry just because of that. But because their misunderstanding it, it work perfectly fine with this." - Ririana "Seriously~~" - Kagerou Kagerou was taken aback. By no means he was not surprise. They, the [God''s Apostle] get a free ticket to get bypass the city. It was clearly and obviously.... "No fair~~~~" - Kagerou "Hmmm?" - Ririana Ririana only tilted her head in confusion.
City Mayor''s Office "So there was a sighted that a high-ranked [Grimm Reaper] scout a human [Soul]?" - Mayor "Yes. That human [Souls] followed the [Grimm Reaper] to this city." - Mayor''s Spy "Still, to get scouted by high-ranked [Grimm Reaper], that human [Souls] clearly was not your typical weak human." - Mayor He who was still sits on his chair while looking at the documents on the table mumbling paused his work for a moment and stared at his spy. The spy who understood the meaning behind the stare nodded and gone dissappear from the office. "Well, if that human [Souls] was scouted by a high-ranked [Grimm Reaper] and even so by walking here it means that they want to bypass the city which also means one thing; That human [Souls] have a meeting with the [God]." - Mayor He speculated almost 100% correct. He who just got this information yet can grasp the situation pretty easily and fast with an accurate precision of his prediction clearly shows how high his intelligent he must be. If he still alive in the [Mortal Realm], he would obviously standing at the top. "But I have one thing that I can grasp yet. Just what is your intention to called that human [Souls], [God of Death] Croix?" - Mayor Chapter 09: Before the Chaos [World Traveler] Kagerou Ibuki The Bypass City of Purgatory, Sigurd
The city which was located at the center of the [Purgatory Realm] had an access to four important places and three of them need a special bypass ticket as permission to leave this city or bypassing the city. The [Palace], the residence of all [God of Death] which located at the 298 km north of [Sigurd City] and to get there you need a bypass ticket directly from the [Sigurd City]''s Mayor. The [Oasis], a portal gate directly connected to [Heaven realm] was located to 312 km east of [Sigurd City]. Meanwhile, the [Ruin], a portal gate directly connected to [Abyss Realm] was located to 431 km to the west of [Sigurd City]. To enter either [Oasis] or [Ruin], the dwelling [Souls] in [Purgatory Realm] will need to be test where their deeds in [Mortal Realm] would be calculated. Based on their deeds, they would enter the corresponded gate. And the last is [Gate], the gate of [Purgatory] which conected both [Mortal Realm] and [Purgatory Realm] was located to the 412 km south of [Sigurd City].
Hearing such things from Ririana made me wondered in silence. If it was like what she said, it means that [Sigurd City] hold a very special meaning in the [Purgatory Realm]. And it makes me curious to who was the Mayor of this city, which govern over this city pretty well. By the way, it seems that I misheard something. "You said earlier there was [God] living in this realm right? By no mean it was [God of Death]?" "Yes and no. Precisely this realm was a living place for exactly 13 [Gods of Death]." "Huh? How come there''s so many [God of death]?" "Because the [Gods] was originally a personification from all kinds of mythology and beliefs of mankind." Hearing such an outrageous things makes my eyes wide open. Should she really open with this kind of thing was only thought on my head. Surely I can grasp the theory behind her words but if she put the words like that, isn''t it sound like she doesn''t like [Gods] pretty much. Though she was working with one of them.Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. Well currently we was strolling around the city aimlessly while I am admiring the view myself. Probably in my point of view it was aimless because I really don''t know this city well but Ririana herself walked through the crowd with an expressionless face. While all the crowd simply avoided her because of her rank, wary of her. And there''s no way I''ll be ignored it was because of this big-shot walking with me that I got full attention only to myself! Dang-it! While I am grumbling to myself, we have already arrive to a nice looking building. Based on it appearance, it seems like this building was a hotel.
To think there was a hotel here. My expression about the fantasy world all change instantly leave it as only in my dream. Yeah to hell with this! There''s no way this is a mere pure fantasy world! "Somehow I feel like ''let''s quickly go to heaven'' already." "No can do. You need to pass the ''special test'' if you want to go to [Heaven Realm] and if you failed you''ve only passed to go [Abyss Realm]." "Thought so." This is become more and more absurd. Let''s escape reality here. Please, god let me escape this reality! We enter the hotel and immediately booking for two room. It seems like even in the [Purgatory Realm], they still use some kind of money here. "Its would be 400 [SoulBit] for two rooms." "Here it is." "Thank you for your patronage. Here your keys. Your rooms would be 303 and 304." [Soulbit]? That''s the money of this realm? Yeah let''s escape the reality now as it''s become a distortion fantasy. "Hey what''re you doing? Let''s go to our room, you''re wasting my time here." "I-I''m coming." Yeah on that day I feel dejected so because of that let''s go sleeping in my room. I realy get a fucking tired of this reality. I only hope right now that this is all either just my dream or a distort illusion. Yeah I hope so.
The dark cold night comes, the city started to bright with lights and lamps. All [Souls] in the city still dwelling in this bright city, laugh of a happy and merry [souls] resounds in the air. It shows the sign that all [souls] were currently having a fun night. But no one knows that a shadow that lurking in the shadows would soon bring out a very bad luck to this very own citizen. And the shadow itself known that it''s time to_ _WREAK HAVOC!!!! Chapter 10: Chaos in Sigurd Sigurd City was in chaos. All [Souls] scattered everywhere running away from the chaos but to no avail, they were caught in that mess. Yes, Sigurd was being raid by the [Soul Hunters]. How did this actually happen? Let''s get back to 3 hours before this mess happen.
In the luxurious hotel, there''s silhouette was standing in front of the window staring outside. It was none other than Kagerou. While Ririana who was still sleeping in the next room, He was wide awake unable to sleep. He was bored by the current situation where he does nothing. That''s why he had planned to go out and have fun. "But still, I have no money." Kagerou spoke to no one, thinking how to get money and have fun.
The Sigurd City was all bright at night, make it more livelier than at the day. But near the city, there were close to hundreds of silhouette''s which covered by a nasty and tenacious black aura. They were standing while facing towards the city. They were aiming at it hoping to cause chaos in that city. "Now it''s the time."The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. "Agreed." "Most of them already lowered their guard, which is why this is our chance to raid." "Well, if we raid the city now,they should move, right?" "True, I only wanttheycome out." "Really you''re quite a maniac, don''t you?" "Why not? I love to fight and eat." "I only love to see them despair, you know?" "You have quite a nice hobby there." At the center of those silhouette''s, were none other than the most dangerous well being, [Soul Hunter]. They were precisely the most dangerous to the [Souls].

"Well, ifthatguy join us soon shouldn''t we capture the city?" "He just scared to fight gods, you know?" "Nah~ He doesn''t care about that at all, right?" "True, he was right now just watching us from afar." "Hell, if he join us, there''s no doubt we could even killthat guy." "Agreed. After all, he''s first rank in [Soul Hunter Society]." "He expert in destruction, right? Shouldn''t he join us too?" "No. He wouldn''t even budge just like that, you know." "Guys, let''s get started. This raid should at least can covered most of our fortune." All [Soul Hunters] nodded with a wide wicked grin, expected to get the [Souls] and wreaking havoc in this city.
