Dream Life

Middle-Ghost Operator (Tamer) When Tayo Hurla left the world, his nephew, Kauno Hurla, was a village of Leriche - a village fifty km east of Fort Toa, the main stroke of the Kaum kingdom. We arrived at an important stronghold to use and invade the loophole north of Toa. There were five wild oaks beside him that he had tutored.

It is generally considered very difficult to teach wild demons by manipulative magic (Tame). As the force determines the sequence, you must have your own arm to acknowledge that you are the head of the herd, because you need not only the ability of the manipulator (Tamer) but also the ability to excel as a warrior.

If you are a great ghost tribe with excellent stature and high abilities as a warrior among the same ghost tribes, it's not that hard to twist down wild augs with force. However, in the case of the Middle-Ghost tribe, there is a significant difference in strength from the wild oak, which is based on the skill of the individual.

In that regard, Kauno was also a genius as a warrior. He succumbed with his bare hands to the mighty young oak male and became his own family.

These orcs were his weapons, as well as "seeds” that would increase his family. Not only is the family member summoned with a brilliant wild oak tougher and longer-lived than normal, but it also outperforms the wild oak in ability, and depending on the tutorial, it is even possible to act alone if you use a weapon or an easy task.

Kauno showed the order to the head of the village of Leriche, informing him that he would infiltrate the west with a special assignment. He also demanded that people familiar with western circumstances be added to the support.

The head of the village of Leriche at that time was a medium ghost tribe, and that was transported relatively easily. Because no one thought of forgery of an order, or anything like that, and even if they ever envied their fellow countrymen on the honorable task of infiltrating a single enemy land, they never doubted it.

The supporter of Kauno was a middle-aged man named Rex, an outstanding scout from the Kaum kingdom.

His arrival at Leriche began when he was deprived of his wife by a senior nobleman. While he was away, a senior nobleman in the kingdom took his wife and managed to get her back, but his desperate wife committed suicide. We did everything we could to avenge it, but the power of the senior nobility was mighty and unable to obtain collaborators, and on the contrary, we were about to be captured and fled into the woods. Lurking in the woods in disillusionment, he became resentful towards the entire Kaum kingdom, which had abandoned this situation. But I was also so reminded that I didn't like that I couldn't do anything on my own.

To avenge the kingdom, Rex challenged the Single Aquila Mountains to exploit the power of the Demons. And he succeeded in crossing Aquila, where his obsession was considered difficult even at a first-rate adventurer party.

Skilled enough to act in the single and dangerous Aquila Mountains, and furthermore resentful of the Kingdom of Kaum, Coincidentally, Kauno succeeded in obtaining the best talent.

Kauno had a dream after leaving the village of Leriche.

That is so clear that it can be described as a sacred one, and the words I heard in my dreams were: 'Don't fail to prepare. If we do, we (...) can achieve our purpose'. Kauno did not doubt that what he had spoken to himself was the Dark God (Noctis).

(That's definitely Dark God (Noctis). It was pitch-black but I felt divine and warm... I was commissioned! Yes, I became God's warrior!

His self-esteem was so enlarged that this was not unusual.

I told that story to Rex the Scout, but there was nothing like admiring him just because a nasty reply came. But Kauno was not angry with it.

(It's not like the people, the family of our Dark God (Noctis). Fine. I am chosen by God. If he doesn't spare any cooperation, I'll show him the metrics better...)

Although Kauno often behaved in a transverse manner, he rarely hindered Rex's suggestion. And both Rex's and the Middle-Ghost tribes were used to a lot of transgressors, secretly reviewing the kauno adopting their own suggestions. The two succeeded in building a relatively good relationship.

Kauno, who crossed the Aquila Mountains with Rex, created a stronghold in the woods a short distance from Toa Street. Then he finds a group of wild oaks, takes the female, and summons his family. Furthermore, he was grabbing young women from villages along the streets to increase their families, eventually obtaining more than two hundred and fifty orcs.

(You had the most fun back then... I thought I could do anything...)

The number of oaks, though complete, lacked satisfactory weapons and decided to attack an affordable pioneering village. The pioneering village is adjacent to danger, has weapons compared to the population, and has less fear of discovery due to less movement of people.

Rex disagreed with it. Because many of those like him in the pioneering village had fled the tyranny of those who defied the policy of the country and the nobles, and were emotionally close to him. He suggested that we should continue attacking the Adventurer Party to take his weapons, and destroy the Royal Kaum Army, which boils down his business and comes out on crusades, to take them away.

Initially, Kauno followed Rex's audacious proposal to take weapons from enemy forces with charm, but there were few adventurers near Toa Street, and after nearly six months no crusaders were dispatched. This was the business of the rigid administrative mechanism of the Kaum kingdom, but Kauno, who was short tempered, was reluctant to take any longer. Then he stopped hunting adventurers and attacked the pioneering village, the village of Clarae, which he stumbled upon.

Because he had already reached the limit he could manipulate, the woman who seedbed him did not grab him, and after taking his weapon, the villagers began to kill him. Originally, Kauno, a brutal character, happily slaughtered an irresistible villager.

Rex rebelled against the way he did it and poked a gap in Kauno to get about twenty villagers out of the slaughterhouse. But Kauno realizes it, finds the villagers who fled with Rex in the back of the woods and slaughters them. He was a good scout, Rex, but he couldn't abandon the villagers, and he was killed with the villagers, too.

It was only shortly after the massacre that he was surrounded by the exaltation that cut off the traitor, but he will soon regret it.

(That was a failure. He could have used it. For the first time since he was gone, I knew how important information was to him...)

Losing Rex. He was equal to losing his eyes and ears.

Until then, when I said I deserved it, but then I kept wandering in the woods for more than ten days in search of a new pioneering village, and it was September 27th that I finally found the village of Alice.

He was worried about the situation and thought of securing a collaborator. Its procurement was also intended for raids, as weapons had not yet been delivered to all orcs.

The next day, he carefully besieged the village and attacked it all at once. But only one house was not attacked. He believed that he might not listen to the villagers who had killed his family and that if he took his family hostage, he would not betray them, choosing the biggest house without thinking particularly deeply, he would not kill only those in that house, all the other villagers did.

At that time, he was ordered to kill with his weapon with the intent of training. Slash and kill villagers begging for their lives instead of puppets. The appearance was more like a game than training, pulling out one person at a time in the square, killing the villagers who fled.

While those in the house who were not attacked were angry at the brutality of the act, they mourned thinking they were next.

Having killed all the villagers, Kauno ordered the remaining villagers to cooperate. The villagers who saw the place of the massacre could only snort.

Kauno ordered him to head to his destination, mindful of the fact that there were three young men who seemed to be able to use them.

But the only time I felt good was for a short time. I ordered a young man to scout, but I can't grasp the terrain satisfactorily with a villager without any training. I left it to my anger, and I slaughtered the man.

Kauno worried about going back to the vicinity of the Aquila Mountains, where the map is located, or going straight to his destination, but decided to keep going if he continued along Als Street, where it was easy to grasp the terrain. Exactly. He also decided to explore trends in the Royal Kaum Army, believing that vigilance was needed near the main streets of the enemy countries.

As a way of doing so, he tried to send a young man named Ron to the town of Bogwood - the town on the northern border of the Kingdom of Kaum.

Ron and his family complained that they couldn't get in or anything because they would check the orb - the demon prop of ID - to get into an accomodation town like Bogwood, but Kauno, unaware of the circumstances, forced Ron to infiltrate and ordered him to bring the information back by noon the next day.

In the end, Ron failed to infiltrate Bogwood and never returned by the promised time due to an unfortunate accident - jumping into the river, hitting him in the head and drowning. Cowno, who assumed Ron had betrayed him, left it to his anger to kill all his family.

At that time, he thought it better to rely on a map prepared by his uncle, Teillo, than to use useless people to get information.

Fortunately, the map prepared by Taiyo had sufficient information about the forest near the Aquila Mountains. Around Bogwood is where the Aquila Mountains stretch out to the west, and the information around here was relatively abundant. Further detailed information was contained so that we could proceed without hesitation from the border of the Kingdom of Kaum to about fifty km north, and we forgot about our failure and started northwards.

At that time, I was not sure if I would attack the village of Rasmore north of Bogwood, but the information on the map stated that it was about five hundred people's village and that it was larger than the previous pioneering village, and that there were nearly two hundred more vigilantes and that they were well trained. He was driven by the child-stained temptation to exchange spears with his mighty enemies, but he hated losing his power before a showdown with Matthias the Moon Demon, a traitor, and bypassed the village of Rasmore in order to follow the route used by the Teillos.

But from the neighborhood where we entered - Kalsh, Kauno doesn't know its name - the information on the map was almost gone, and the speed of travel dropped to an extreme extent. This was due to the inability to send Ilari - the wing demons who infiltrated with the Tayo - to reconnaissance at the time the map was made, due to the possibility that Mathias, the powerful enemy of the Moon Demons, was lurking. For once, the route through which the Taiyo and the others went was described, but the terrain could not be read from information limited to the kauno, which had no knowledge as a scourge. Even better, he couldn't have sent the oak out for reconnaissance, and had traveled many rough mountain roads.

Still robust, he and the orcs left it to their strength to get on and finally cross the Karsh. I glanced at the map from near the top of the ledge and I could see the destination under my eyes.

The destination was confirmed, and he went down with joy and courage. It was a time of night raid at times, but he remembered the words of his uncle, Teiyo, who speeded up his steps and arrived in the village of Thysek around 3 p.m.

(I could have waited a day, but it's suicide such as fighting the Moon Demon Spellmasters in the dark. That's what I thought was a failure......)

He entered the village without siege, because he intended to strike at once before his enemies were enlightened.

Sometimes it's harvest time, and because most of the villagers were out in the fields, the orcs kill the villagers without receiving resistant resistance. And waited for the traitor Matthias to come out. But Kauno himself was going to wait outside the village for fear of Mathias' magic and leave in anticipation of the timing.

(There was no one there. If you think about it, my uncles were after him ten years ago. It's not weird not being around here... I never thought about it. How stupid was that, I...)

There were those who fled north while the orcs were attacking, but because they were just villagers, they did not like to disperse their power and gave priority to the search for Mathias. He explored the house and interrogated the surviving villagers.

"Have any of you seen the Moon Demon, the Demon Man with wings on his back! Even the brunette who ran off with him. Tell me where he is and I won't help him."

But I knew no one, not about the Moon Demons, nor about the woman of the people, his wife, who was supposed to have been with him even more. Matthias' wife was a rare brunette around here, confirming the villagers and bodies she had captured, but found no woman like that.

With one old man trembling, a woman appeared ten years ago and married a hunter, but testified at first that the woman had dark hair. I rushed to the hunter's house, but the woman who was falling had chestnut hair.

Kauno goes backwards thinking he was told to get out of his mouth.

"You hit me!

"Hih! had dark hair like crow wings the first time I saw it! It's not true!

"Then why is it brown! I don't know if you've got gray hair, but I've never heard of browning! Tell him to get out of my mouth!

When he shouts that, he slashes and kills the old man with his sword. Upwards he killed the rest of the villagers one after the other.

(I totally ran out then... now that I think about it, I know there can't be a Mathias woman in this village...)

He was upside down. He also regained his composure where he finished killing everyone and admitted that Matthias was not here.

As he calmed down, he remembered that this was the middle of the enemy land and that there were no more land surveys. And we thought it was dangerous for our position to be known in such a place, and we decided to wipe out those who saw us.

Fortunately, Oak's sense of smell was sharp and it wasn't that hard to spot the villagers. It was only at dawn that he finished killing all the villagers, as he mercilessly and relentlessly killed the villagers who begged for their lives, but fled scattered on all sides.

With Orc's sense of smell, he couldn't find a surviving human being, so he finally had room to think about the next thing.

As he calmed down, he couldn't even find a traitor clue that was his purpose, and he couldn't return to his country because he had just forged an order and left, and he was on his way.

That happened abruptly when I lay down to take a nap and then decide on my future policy.

Suddenly, I wondered if the orcs had made a scene and threw away the luggage they had and ran towards the village of Thysek.

Himself, at that moment, he felt something of a strong anxiety, but was surprised that his family had ignored his own orders and had no idea what had happened. I was just upset that the submissive families ran out with their bloody eyes, Manako.

"Stop! Where are you going!

That's what I screamed, and I got stuck in front of the orcs.

That became his life.

The excited orcs rambled him, his husband. Physical abilities would have been almost equivalent and usually dealt with adequately, but I was upset by the situation of the rebellion of my family and my body did not move satisfactorily. As a result, he falls in a way that puts on his buttocks and is kicked and trampled many times by the orcs running one after the other. I waved my right hand at him for trying to get up even more, just saying that one orc was in the way. Unfortunately, there was a sword in his hand.

The coarse slaughter pierced the gap in the armor by total coincidence. He is slashed and torn around the base of his right shoulder and dyed bright red with leather armor.

Hitting him in the head, the hazy cowno couldn't believe what had happened to him.

(What happened?... Never before has my magic trick (Tame) been broken...)

And when I tried to get up, I noticed the blood buildup that was going to be made under my own body. In a hurry, he presses the wound, but without stopping the blood that erupts, he creates a river of blood.

"I can't stop bleeding!... Someone! I need your help!

But his cry didn't reach anyone.

Kauno reaches the luggage scattered around him like crawling. And I started fishing for my luggage if I didn't have the medicine I had for myself.

"Do you want to die here! It must have been here somewhere! There's the wound medicine I took from Pioneer Village!

No matter how much you fish, you won't find the wound pills you want. Meanwhile, the blood continued to flow, and the movement slowly slowed down, even among the robust Middle-Ghost tribes.

At the end of the day, just moving my left arm didn't mean anything, but I couldn't stop it.

"I don't like it! I don't like dying! Shit!... Somebody..."

The consciousness gradually becomes distant.

Kauno was thinking about what he was doing in his fading consciousness.

(What have I come to do, to this land... all I have done is kill poor peasants...)

In the end, I realize that I just killed the innocent and weak. And mock yourself for not even being able to find it instead of defeating Matthias Vallo, the traitor who is the object, the Moon Demon Spellman.

(... are Mathias' spellmen alive in the first place? Even if he was alive, he couldn't keep staying in such a despicable place. How did you not notice that?

So I remembered the temple.

(Ever since I had that dream, the only time I stopped wondering. There was a divine revelation, everything I did was right. That's what I assumed... I wonder what went wrong. That was indeed the Dark God (Noctis). I wonder where I failed......)

Fragmented memories flow like a running light, and disappear. But gradually it also blurred and slowly faded consciousness.

(That was a boring life. But that's it...)

I accepted death, but I was not allowed to die quietly.

(Stop it! I don't like it! I need your help! Sorry. It was my fault...)

Immediately after accepting death, hallucinations struck him. It was a hallucination that the peasants themselves mounted on him and tried to take him to the bottom of the earth.

Without being entrusted to the hands of the Dark God (Noctis), being sealed at the bottom of the cold ground was more terrifying for the Demons who believed in Noctis than death.

In his brain he had an old woman with a distressed look on her face, a mother who lost her child and frenzied, a toddler whose parents were tragically murdered and crying out...... the peasants he hung on his hands were reaching out one after the other.

(I hate it!... let me die quietly...... YEAH, HELP...)

Around noon on October 12, 2017 in the Tria calendar, the manipulator of the Middle-Ghost tribe (Tamer), Kauno Hurla, finished twenty-six years of raw. A foreign land a few hundred km from his hometown, it also took his breath away with a distressed expression, without being seen by anyone in the deep woods, where even the hunters and adventurers rarely set foot.

No one can actually tell if his soul was sealed at the bottom of the earth. However, the bodies left behind were devoured by demons and decayed.

That evening, the movements of the orcs, who were the family of Kauno Hurla, changed with the sunset. Kauno's death solved the magic trick (Tame) and brought him closer to the wild.

For a moment I realized that I wasn't sure what to do but the smell of prey, which also smelled like a young woman, and started following my instincts to prey. But their prey was fast and cunning.

We managed to hunt them down, and a large group of humans appeared. We were thrown more than twice as many and huge flames as we were, and we panicked. After Kauno's death, although something seemingly sequential was being done, the length was not clearly determined, and the orcs followed their own survival instincts and fled.

At this point, it was more than fifty fewer from its original number, but there were still nearly two hundred orcs left.

■ ■ ■

A few months after Kauno infiltrated the west, a report from the village of Leriche to Zalesh, the ghost tribe capital, discovered that Kauno Hurla infiltrated the west.

The head of the Hurla family, Youni Hurla, had been searching for his whereabouts since shortly after the man Kauno had gone missing and had grabbed the fact that he had infiltrated the west alone. However, there was no way to turn to the chaser, and the response was behind him because the person who forged the order was inside him. He had managed to plot to sin against his rival family as the true culprit, but the facts were discovered during the manipulation.

He was condemned not only by his rival clans, but also by the great ghosts, the little ghosts, and even the devils, for Kauno's deeds. It was a legitimate accusation in anyone's eyes at their insistence that it was an act that jeopardized important bases in a mischievous manner. Youni himself had thought the same thing in his heart, but he had no choice but to apologize for the failure of his own man. The Bindler and Budosco families were thoroughly rebuffed in order to weaken the Hurla family.

"This outrage is what puts my country, Sokius, in crisis! I do not deserve to join the Council of Chiefs in the House of Hurla, which could not have prevented such outrages before!

The Council of Chiefs is the supreme decision-making body of the Ghost Nation, composed of the chiefs of the main families of the Ghost Nation. The inability to participate in that council of chiefs would be branded as a third class or inferior character. Naturally, the families expelled from the Council of Chiefs had no choice but to take the path of settling in order to lose their rights as well.

Youni desperately resisted, but few defended him, and the deportation of the House of Hurla from the Council of Chiefs was decided. Years later, Youni Hurla died of illness in disillusionment.

■ ■ ■

There were those who noticed the runoff of the Spirit of Darkness on the 12th day of October 317 of the Tria calendar.

One is the “Moon Witch” Elise Nortier of the Moon Demon Nation. Notice the anomalies of the spirits of darkness in the temple of Luberna, the capital of the demonic tribe, hundreds of km away. When he rushes outside, he is stunned to see the dark spirits trying to cover the sky.

(There's something wrong with the spirits. Trying to get somewhere... west, a little south. Near the mountain of Aquila...... but I'm not just trying to get there. You look so ecstatic...... what could have happened?... maybe...)

Elise made one hypothesis.

That it must have been the coming of the Dark God (Noctis) or something so close to it that the Dark Spirit would be so ecstatic.

(If it is the coming of God, this temple should be worthy. Then you should see the power of God's “Son of the Moon” manifested. We have to protect the Son of the Moon...... this has been an important event since this country began......)

Elise immediately assembled his compatriots and told them that the Son of the Moon had manifested himself. And I told him where the Spirit of Darkness was about to go.

"From here on the other side of Aquila, your son appeared slightly south. Send the magicians immediately. And you set up a magic formation of transfers in the right place. This is a top priority…"

Moon Demons and Winged Demons Mages, or Mages, were dispatched to the West.

In Sochius there was another person who noticed the runoff of the Spirit of Darkness.

It was Saul Ingvar, a black demon spell who belonged to the demon clan.

The Black Demon tribe was originally a tribe in the guiding position of the Demon tribe, but the failure of the Great Invasion a thousand years ago drastically reduced the population - now only about a thousand - and had lost power. But in his individual abilities, he overtook the Moon Demon Clan and was not convinced that he was expelling the Moon Demon Clan's post-dust. The Black Demons were still waiting for an opportunity to return to their guiding positions.

Saul was one of the most talented spellmen of his Black Demon clan and greatly outperformed Ealis, a witch of the moon in terms of combat ability.

(Is that the manifestation of God?... No, it's the birth of your moon child. Then it's a good time for us. If you get the Son of the Moon, you can contain the Moon Demons...)

Saul knew where he was, too, but he didn't move right away.

(Even if left alone, the Moon Demons will find it. I just have to wait until they find out. But I need to be ready...)

He headed east. I didn't even tell my people where I was going, just by myself.

One more, no, maybe you should say the hell with it already. Someone, not that person, noticed the runoff of the Dark Spirit.

It had been more than a thousand years since it began to exist and had sufficient power and intelligence.

(I want that power... I have to get it...)

The man crawled out of the ruins where he was lurking. The light of a bright day was shining around him, but the moment the person appeared, he calmed back as if he had been engulfed in darkness.

(to me... to me...)

It was a craving to the point of madness similar to hunger.
