《A House》


 Chapter 1 - the worst hero in another world

    A seasoned slacker was seen sitting with his head resting on the surface of his desk in his classroom. An ordinary high school student with no special talent, his messy hair only made him look more like a complete loser. The lazy loser in question is me.


    My name is Ray Lewinston, a regular 16-year-old high school student in my first year.


    I sit in the farthest back corner on the left, a spot rarely in the line of sight of my classmates or teachers.


    I''m just an ordinary high school student with no special abilities or talents to boast of.


    If I were to describe myself as an example, I might be more like an NPC in a school romance novel.


    I live a boring daily life without any true friends or a girlfriend for myself.


    Resting my cheek on the school desk during every lesson is something I do every day.


    Still going to school even though I don''t benefit from it, that''s me.


    Living life without thinking too much about others, that''s me.


    The most boring person ever born in this world, that''s me.


    I can''t find the meaning of the life I''m living now. Every day I just do meaningless activities. Without any motivation for life or thinking about the future.


    My heart is empty, like a moving doll that has no desires or will of its own.


    Sometimes I lift my sleeping head from the desk and look around the classroom. The lively atmosphere fills the class along with what is called "youth". I sometimes get confused about what people mean by "youth". But observing the class slowly makes me understand what is meant by "youth".


    And the more I understand it, the deeper it gets. I understand more and more that I am far from what people call "enjoying youth".


    While all my classmates are chatting about various things, I''m busy with my laziness routine.


    While some of my classmates are being intimate with their girlfriends, I''m busy being intimate with the desk in front of me right now.


    I''m sick of this gray life, but it''s all too late for me. Starting everything from now won''t change anything. The past where I looked sad won''t disappear from the history that has been embedded in the memories of all my classmates.


    In their memories, I will forever just be an ordinary supporting character who is not important at all in their lives.


    Today is an ordinary day as usual, without anything changing from me. I fold my arms pretending not to see my classmates enjoying their youth right now.


    I''m used to staring at the darkness when everyone else is shining around me.


    I, who am now only seeing darkness because I close my eyes, feel strange hearing the noise around me. Not because it''s too noisy or disturbing, it''s just that everyone in my class at that time sounded like they were disturbed by the same thing.


    I finally opened my eyes out of curiosity, and lifted my head while looking left and right. At that moment I realized that I and the other 24 people in my class had been transported to a strange place with a large magic circle beneath our feet.


    Everyone was in a panic, while some influential people like the class president tried to calm down some of the girls who were crying hysterically from excessive stress.


    Meanwhile, I was observing the surroundings, confused by the desks and chairs that had also been brought along with us.


    I took out my bag from the desk drawer and opened the phone inside. Unfortunately, the internet couldn''t be used and the signal was gone.


    A white room with a large gate right behind us, along with several pillars present in various parts of the room. The room looked normal if we ignored the magic circle under our feet.


    Some of my classmates tried to call their family numbers and hoped their families would answer. But still, it was a futile act at this time.


    If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    In the midst of the commotion among the students in that place, the large gate behind us that had previously been closed now began to open. The gate opened along with a beautiful girl with blonde hair who appeared before us.


    Sky-blue eyes with thin eyelashes and a cute face. She was almost as tall as the high school kids who were making a fuss in that place. Just by looking at the clothes she was wearing, everyone understood that the girl was a princess. Her plain white dress with flower motifs around it made her look even more beautiful.


    All the boys who came with me were immediately captivated by the girl''s beauty. Except for me, who was more focused on several people in armor behind the girl who were carrying swords with them.


    "O heroes, I beg you all to calm down. I will explain everything to you," said the princess.


    One of the boys from my class came forward to discuss with the princess about their current situation. That person was the most popular boy in class, and also the person I hated the most in my class.


    The class president also stepped forward along with that male student. They discussed something with serious faces for a while. After they seemed to have reached a conclusion, the male student and the class president approached me and the other students who were waiting for instructions from them.


    I felt like a sheep in a flock of other sheep, following the directions of two shepherds who were coming towards me and the other students.


    "Guys... Please hear me For now, we are invited to have a meal together with the princess. Let''s just follow her wishes for now, as she has promised to explain everything after we finish eating," said the male student.


    "What jimmy said is true, for now, let''s calm our minds. Especially you... Rumi... Momo... Are you guys feeling better now?" said the class president, who looked concerned about the girls who were previously crying hysterically.


    I actually understand that I have been summoned to another world. I realize that I am now in a different world. Just seeing people in iron robes with swords and steel plate resembling knights is enough to make me understand. However, I am still unsure about the reason behind bringing us to this world.


    Walking alongside strangers in a large hallway, unique paintings stretch from one end of the hallway to the other. It seems that the king of this kingdom has a hobby and interest in paintings, and it''s quite extreme to be seen as just a hobby. But even so, there''s nothing wrong with it.


    I can''t help but feel jealous... Even the king in another world has a hobby for himself.


    I see popular male students and the class president, as well as the princess of another world, chatting in the front group. While the rest of us students follow behind, silent beside the iron-clad palace guards among us.


    I don''t know what others see, but in my eyes, the princess from another world is trying to get closer to the most popular male student in my class. It seems that the princess has also fallen in love at first sight with that scoundrel, just like any other girl at school. I''m not surprised that he''s popular, but I can''t help but feel envious.


    Why him? Why not me?


    Why is he lucky? Why am I unlucky?


    Why is his fate good? Why is my fate worst?


    Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?


    Why do he and I look so different even though we''re both human?


    Is it his fault for being a diamond? Or is it my fault for being trash?


    In reality, I hate that popular student with all my heart because of envy and resentment. Even if he''s kind to me, I still hate him. Even if he''s evil, it doesn''t matter... because I''ve hated him from the beginning.


    But no matter how much I hate him, I still can''t say to his face that I hate him.


    Of course, I''m afraid. I don''t want to be a minority. I don''t want to be ostracized for saying foolish things that I know will make others hate me. Even though I know my personality is terrible, I still long for genuine love.


    But love won''t come to me. Love won''t come to me, who is weak, miserable, lazy, and hopeless.


    I''ve thought about changing, but in the end, it''s just a series of failures, failures, failures, and more failures. There''s only one path waiting for me in the future, a path of regret.


    But even so, every day I pray and hope to find something that can make my life colorful other than gray.


    But I still don''t do anything, even though I know that prayers without action are futile.


    **********


    The students from the other world eat together with the beautiful princess. After the meal, the princess fulfills the promise she made earlier.


    "Well, heroes, I will now explain why you suddenly arrived in this world. The first reason is probably why I called all of you as heroes.


    The answer lies in a prophecy. A church predicted the appearance of heroes who would become the saviors of all humanity. The prophecy was written with great detail, which piqued the interest of our kingdom.


    We... or more precisely, my grandfather... waited for decades to summon heroes from other worlds. My grandfather had been waiting for the right time, but he passed away two years ago. He passed on his ambition to my father, who is now the next king of this kingdom.


    And now, my father has ordered me to summon the heroes today. To seek help from you all great heroes standing before me."


    The princess stood up from her seat and prostrated herself on the floor, facing us, begging. The students were shocked to see all the iron-clad palace guards around them suddenly also prostrating towards them.


    "Please... I beg you all, great heroes... Please eliminate the evil in this world once and for all."


    Tears started flowing down the princess''s cheeks naturally and quickly. Everyone there felt pity for the princess.


    "Sob... Sob... Please, eradicate those demonic creatures... Send them to the deepest depths of hell, I beg you all once again. I beg you... We beg you, all of you standing in front of me now, to exterminate those wretched demons!"


    The princess showed sharp and determined eyes towards the students from the other world. Feelings of anger, sadness, despair, pain, and the desire for revenge engulfed the princess''s heart. Her blue eyes now welled up with tears and turned red due to the strong desire for vengeance.


    All the students from the other world could do was freeze and listen as the princess explained the problems of her world. She was just telling a story, but it felt like a war speech. She conveyed something useless to the students from the other world, but they could feel the emotions the princess was experiencing just by looking at her expressions and hearing her words.


    The high school students from the other world even forgot about the presence of the long, large table that separated them from the princess of the kingdom.


    The most popular boy among the students from the other world could only stand frozen, unable to make a decision. He felt the desire to help the unfortunate princess in front of him, but deep in his heart, he thought about his other classmates. He realized that there were probably some people who disagreed or were afraid to do something that sounded dangerous like that. Moreover, they lacked information about the world they were currently in.


    The class president, who was a girl, turned out to be the first one to respond to the crying princess in front of them. She approached and suddenly hugged the princess.


    Suddenly, all the soldiers there were shocked and suspicious, and they were about to raise their weapons. However, a soldier who appeared to be a commander stopped them from interrupting the moment.


    The class president, in a gentle voice, said, "Princess, please don''t cry. Princess, we understand the pain you feel just by looking at you. However... it''s just that... please... sniff... can you give us some time to think?"


    The words of their class president made all the students from the other world nod their heads. It signified that they all agreed with their class president''s statement.


    "Yes... Please, chosen heroes, take your time... Besides, from the beginning, it was our mistake to force you to participate in this war... Hiks... But I only ask for one thing... Please pay attention to the fate of the people in this country..."


    Pure tears of sadness fell from her beautiful blue eyes, making her look like a crying gem. The beauty radiated even in her sorrow, and it affected some of the girl students from the other world who also felt the same emotions and started crying as well.


    The princess cried sincerely, expressing her grief over the fate of the people in her country. The tears that fell from her beautiful eyes depicted the depth of her emotions. Her beauty shone even in sadness, and it resonated with some of the girl students from the other world who also felt the strong emotions.


    They felt connected to the princess and understood the burden she carried. They also felt the pain and a strong desire to help. In that moment, they experienced an emotional bond that strengthened their connection.


    The princess looked at the all students with gratitude and nodded her head in understanding. She knew that this was not an easy choice for them, and she respected their need for reflection.


    They took a moment to gather their thoughts and consider their options. They knew that whatever decision they made, it would have a significant impact on their lives and the fate of the world they were in.


    After that i''m going to the guest room provided by the kingdom. Judging from the furniture placed in this room, it seems like we, the so-called heroes, are given special rooms. But unfortunately, I am not touched by any of the privileges they have given me. It''s just a mere facade, I feel like I''m being licked by a dog asking to be pampered.


    I am lying on a luxurious bed that has been prepared. The bed is very soft, I could fall asleep in just a few seconds. Maybe I am also tired of the sudden situation that has befallen me.


    Actually, I don''t feel like this is a calamity, I even feel like it would be enjoyable to embark on an adventure in this world with others. That is, if they are willing to embark on an adventure with someone like me.


    I also don''t think much about my family in my previous world. Because I''m sure they can still laugh even if I am not there to disturb them. Or maybe they are celebrating the party because I am gone.


    Well... Although I doubt that would happen. Because my family has never shown any signs of being fed up with my presence. Although deep down, that is the reason that makes me feel uncomfortable at home. I feel more free in this world, leaving my past behind.


    It seems like I am running away...


    Unconsciously, I sink deeper into negative thoughts and start crying for no reason, feeling sorry for myself who appears fragile and weak. I finally cover my face with my right arm, wiping away the traces of tears that have flowed from my eyes.


    "Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha," I laugh, mocking myself for realizing that I am not special at all.


    I am nobody, just a useless human who feels like the most pitiful person in the world. Crying over trivial matters and feeling confused after doing so.


    "Why am I shedding these useless tears from my rotten eyes..."


    Not long after the senseless cry, one of the palace maid knocks on the door from outside and informs me that dinner preparations are ready.


    I, who have no intention of moving, immediately inform the servant that I am sick and just want to rest. He believes my lie and quickly leaves from outside my room.


    I currently don''t have time for small talk with anyone. Right now, I just want to be alone and think about what I am actually doing.


    2 hours have passed and the dinner session should have ended by now.


    I''m sound asleep, mentally exhausted from constantly thinking negatively about my life.


    I''m slowly wakes up because i needs to use the bathroom, and i gets up from my bed to go to the bathroom.


    I''m wanders around the palace, but i can''t find a bathroom anywhere. Until i reaches a quite long corridor, i sees a maid with orange hair walking towards me.


    Due to the unbearable urge to urinate, i finally disregards everything and asks for help from that maid.


    I am currently in the bathroom, looking at myself in the mirror for no particular reason.


    Earlier, I asked for help from a girl just because I didn''t know the location of the bathroom. I didn''t care about my dignity as a man, no... From the beginning, I couldn''t care about my dignity when I was in a desperate situation. I didn''t care if the girl laughed at me or anything like that.


    Well, from the beginning... Do I even have enough self-worth to be protected?


    But for now, I just have to go out and thank the girl.


    I step out of the bathroom and see a maid with orange hair and purple eyes waiting for me.


    "Thank you... Uh..."


    "Melissa... My name is Melissa, sir."


    "Oh, yeah! Melissa... Thank you very much. If you weren''t here, I might have been in big trouble."


    I continue to smile and express my gratitude to her. I keep smiling at her even though my smile is just a fake smile.


    Honestly, I feel sick doing things that go against my personality. But it is necessary so that I am not excluded from society. Because society will not accept someone who rejects the majority, and being polite is the majority that I mean right now.


    That''s how human life is, when someone has a lower value than the majority... They will be punished. Take me, for example, someone who has nothing in my life. Even my own personal experiences have proven that the life I have lived is very harsh.


    But on the other hand, when someone has a higher value than the majority... They will also be punished to. Take, for example, the most popular guy in my class... Also the person I hate the most. Because of his handsome face, he is pursued by women and often gets into trouble with women who are close to him. I even realize that he has now limited the people he can consider as friends. Because most women see him as a man they want to prey on.


    In conclusion, living in society is a barrier that serves as a marker to live without heavy problems.


    I know that the factors that can make someone''s life difficult are not only based on their value. But I can say that this is one important thing that needs to be learned to live in society.


    therefore... I just had to do it, it doesn''t matter if it''s just a fake. This is how you survive in the society. And also, This is why... I hate society.


    I decided to follow the maid named Melissa because of the promise I made to her when I asked for her help. She knows that I am a hero, and she also realizes that I didn''t join the dinner because of being sick. She finally decided to take me to the dining room to serve me food to eat.


    I follow her from behind her petite figure. I wonder why there is a teenage girl working as a maid in this palace. Does this kingdom not have schools like in my old world? I am curious about the reason why Melissa is working at such a young age.


    Or maybe it''s just her appearance that looks young? I want to ask Melissa about her age, but I stop myself... Because I know it would be impolite.


    Upon arriving at the dining room, it turns out to be different than what am i imagined. Everyone is still sitting there, the table is still full of people. But strangely, it is too quiet for a dinner event.


    As I carefully observes, i realizes that no one in the room is moving at all.


    While i is still confused about what is happening, suddenly red liquid starts to flow slowly into my shoes.

 Chapter 2 - Selfish Desires

    Red liquid? What is this liquid?


    Ray was confused by the strange situation in that place. Everyone just sat in their respective chairs. They seemed frozen, not moving or speaking. The silence made Ray feel that something strange had happened while he was sound asleep.


    After looking around, Ray saw nothing but the bodies of his friends sleeping with their eyes closed. Even the princess of this kingdom was also asleep in a chair with his friends.


    Ray looked around and realized that there was one chair still empty. It was the chair that had been prepared for Ray.


    Thank goodness I didn''t join in for dinner.


    Ray was grateful that he was not trapped in the midst of that strange event. There were no feelings of sadness, anger, pity, or sympathy in his heart at the moment. He felt strange about his feelings at the moment, but he was also not surprised why it could be like that. Ray only felt fear at the moment.


    Ray slowly held the hand of one of his classmates and checked his pulse. But just as Ray thought, his classmate was already dead.


    Ray looked at the food on the table that was not eaten until it was finished. He thought that most likely all of this happened because of food poisoning. Realizing this made Ray immediately look around and look for the maid who had previously been to this place with him.


    However, the maid was no longer in that place. Wherever Ray looked, he could no longer see a girl named Melissa around him at the moment.


    Ray looked around again with his mixed feelings. He no longer understood what was happening in his place at the moment. He felt as if he had been abandoned by someone precious to him. He didn''t know why he felt like that, he shouldn''t have felt like that.


    I''m alone again... How can I live in another world alone?


    The fear of a bleak future awaiting him made Ray very frustrated.


    While Ray was thinking about himself, someone was already sitting in the empty chair there. The person ate the food on the table with a fork and knife in both hands.


    With ease, the person ate the food on the table without caring about the corpses around him at the moment.


    This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.


    The sound of someone chewing food, and also the sound of a plate rubbing against a knife made Ray look at the person who was eating.


    A white-haired man with his black robe. His skin was already wrinkled like an old man, with his long nails. Ray looked at the man in confusion.


    "What are you doing?"


    The man looked at Ray, but he did not stop chewing his food.


    "Answer me, what do you think you''re doing right now!"


    The man stopped chewing his food for a moment to answer Ray''s words.


    "Noisy! Are you stupid or what? It''s clear I''m eating right now! Are you blind?"


    That man continued to eat his food.


    Ray felt a little annoyed with the arrogant-looking answer.


    "That''s what I''m asking you right now, are you crazy? You''re eating among a pile of corpses, you know!"


    "I know..."


    That man''s short answer made Ray silent while feeling suspicious.


    "You... You did all this, didn''t you! You damn human, why did you do all this. You... you killed innocent people! Do you know what you''re doing right now is a sin!?"


    "You''ve been noisy since earlier, what''s wrong if I did it? What''s wrong with me doing this? Why am I wrong? What makes me wrong? haven''t eaten since noon, you stinky kid! Just be quiet there and wait your turn!... You''re one of the heroes too, aren''t you?"


    That man smile at Ray, making Ray feel afraid to see him.


    Ray understood that it seemed that he and his classmates were being targeted to be killed. And now the killer is in front of him, eating casually among the corpses of Ray''s classmates.


    Ray''s face cringed in fear of death. He finally ran aimlessly with all his might. He kept running, hoping to find an exit.


    Come on... Where''s the exit. Why is this castle so big. And where are the people in armor. Why is the castle this easy for a killer to enter?


    Ray finally found a window and looked outside. At that moment he saw Melissa in her maid dress, bowing down and covering her ears like a frightened person in the middle of the garden. Ray finally decided to approach Melissa to invite her to run away with him.


    Melissa... Wait for me there... We will run away together... And you have to thank me later... Then you fall in love with me... And you will marry with me in the future.


    A-ha-ha-hahaha, a perfect plan. This is my chance to change my life...


    Ray laughed in such a condition. He smiled contentedly while imagining the happy future that awaited him. He kept smiling happily even though he knew it was just his hope.


    While thinking about it, he was suddenly blocked by 5 people wearing black robes just like the crazy person who was eating earlier. Ray finally tried to find another way and kept running aimlessly without knowing his real running goal.


    If he manages to find Melissa, he plans to run away with Melissa. If he doesn''t find a way to Melissa, then he plans to go far alone no matter where his destination is.


    In the midst of his running, Ray saw several people in armor who seemed to be sleeping on the streets. He thought it seemed that all the castle guards had been defeated by those villains.


    Why does something like this have to happen to me... I just want to live happily... Why doesn''t anyone let me live without problems...


    He finally found an exit that turned out to lead to the garden where Melissa was looking scared there. The sound of a child''s cry echoed around the garden.


    Ray approached the frightened Melissa and tried to wake her up.


    "Melissa... Hey Melissa wake up. We have to get out of here as soon as possible, wake up!"


    Melissa didn''t respond at all, she completely didn''t care about Ray''s presence near her.


    Ray, realizing this, gave up trying to wake Melissa and chose to carry Melissa on his back.


    Ray could have left Melissa there and run away immediately. But Ray''s desire to experience happiness with someone made him selfish and wanted love from someone. He felt this was the right time for him to do something that could change his life. He didn''t care even though the feeling of love that grew in Melissa''s heart was a feeling of love that grew from his own lies.


    Ray now wants to be a knight on a horse who comes to save a princess trapped in a difficulty. He seemed to say, "I am your hero, so love me." Bu he just can think about it, because it''s so disgusting. He know he wrong, but he still hope about that.


    Ray felt disgusted with himself for doing such a despicable thing. He felt like taking advantage of someone else''s difficulty. But he didn''t care about that thought, he just wanted one thing... Happiness.

 Chapter 3 - Trapped in the shadow

    Ray helped Melissa by carrying her on his back. With selfish desires in his heart, he wanted to leave that place immediately. Fortunately, right in front of Ray was a large gate leading outside the palace. He realized that he was close to the freedom he desired.


    Ray smiled happily at the sight of hope. However, it seemed that the freedom he wanted would not happen at that moment. He realized that there were already several people in black robes standing around the gate who had previously blocked him inside the palace.


    He wanted to run in another direction to find another way out, but he and Melissa were already surrounded by the group of strange people in black robes. Even when Ray looked towards the palace windows, he could see some of them there too.


    Dozens of people in black robes surrounded Ray and Melissa in the middle of the vast garden.


    Ray clearly had no way out at the moment. However, strangely enough, they didn''t immediately do anything to Ray. They just stood there as if waiting for something to happen.


    "Who are you... Who are all of you! What is this! What do you want from me, you bastards! Why... Why are you doing all of this! What did I do wrong? What did all those people do wrong? Why do you want to kill me? Why did you kill them all?"


    Ray''s face wrinkled with fear and despair. In the midst of this hopeless situation, all Ray could do was hope for a miracle to happen to him. But Ray knew, there was no such thing as a miracle in any world. Not in this world, nor in Ray''s previous world.


    Ray himself was someone who didn''t believe in miracles. But the hopeless situation he was in, where he was certain to die, made him forget his principles. He destroyed his own character and hoped for something uncertain to happen now.


    Come on... There must be something that can help me escape... I''m a hero, right? How can I use my powers? Where are the powers that I can use? I don''t even know about the powers that a hero like me has!


    Come on, please, magic or any other unbelievable power. I don''t care if there are consequences, I just want to escape from here!


    While Ray hoped for his powers to awaken at this moment, someone came from the palace door holding a roasted meat in his hand. The person was a crazy man who ate with the corpses around him in the palace dining room.

    "What do you... What do you want from me? I have nothing in my life! Do you want to take my worthless life too? You''re so greedy."


    Ray acted arrogantly, hoping that his arrogance could save him. He thought that if he didn''t look like a hero, maybe he could be recruited as part of them and not be killed by them.


    "I don''t care about that, just answer my questions. Maybe your answer can change my mind? Maybe ehe ehe-he a-ha-ha-hahahahahaaa... This is fun."


    Ray thought he still had hope at that moment.


    "Alright, what do you want to ask me?"


    The crazy man approached Ray slowly. While Ray felt scared of the man getting closer to him. He finally put Melissa down from his back so that he could run more freely if there was no hope in the conversation he was about to have.


    "My first question should be easy for you, where is the princess right now?"


    The princess?


    Ray was confused by the question and after that said:


    "Didn''t you already kill her?"


    The man wrinkled his face while looking at his other companions.


    "Who is responsible for this?"


    The other companions of the man immediately pointed to the same person at the same time.


    The man approached another person and the person he approached just remained silent. The man gripped the person''s neck until he couldn''t breathe.


    "This is the punishment for the sin you have committed. Thank me, with this I''m sure your sin will be forgiven by ''that person''."


    The man said that strange thing while still gripping one of his companions'' neck without mercy. But the person whose neck was being gripped smiled happily knowing that his end was near.


    "Thank you, Mr. Anderson," the person even thanked the person who was about to kill him.


    All his other companions suddenly bowed towards them and said, "Thank you for saving us, Mr. Anderson."


    The crazy man called Anderson started to grip the person in his hand even tighter than before. He did it until blood could be seen coming out from between his fingers that were choking his companion. After making sure that the person in his grip was dead, he simply threw the corpse away without any mercy.


    "You''re right, thank me once again," Anderson said with an arrogant tone.


    "Thank you, Mr. Anderson," all his companions praised him.


    "That''s right, I saved you. It''s only right that you repay me for what I did to you. I saved you, and you give everything you have to me. You poor and helpless people should repay me after I helped you. Because my help is something valuable. This is the right thing to do, this is something that should happen. Because I am a good savior..."


    While Anderson spoke those strange and unclear words, Ray had already run and climbed the palace gate using some holes as footholds. But unfortunately, Anderson knew about it, he even knew from the beginning when Ray started to run.


    Anderson had an idea and started to approach the area below where Ray began to climb the gate. Ray, who was in the middle of his journey to the top, wondered what Anderson was doing.


    Ray tried not to fall, especially since he was doing something like this for the first time. Fortunately, he had enough time to learn because Anderson gave him time by speaking in an unclear manner.


    But now Ray was worried because he was trapped and couldn''t move. He could only go up, but he still couldn''t maintain his balance well. Moreover, he was actually afraid of heights, making him scared when he realized he was in a high place. Especially if he fell just once, he would get into bigger trouble.


    While Ray was confused up there, Anderson looked at Ray with a smile on his face. Just by looking at Ray, he already understood that Ray was inexperienced in doing that. Moreover, he knew that just climbing up the palace gate wouldn''t change anything. Anderson could even cast a spell right now and kill Ray from a distance. But he chose to do something else that he wanted to do.
