Start A New Game

New phase

After a long walk, you see a huge fortress surrounded by black iron walls.

A fortress built on the road to the open frontier of the northernmost corner of the Kingdom of Rahim, named "Fortress Eden."

Originally, the name of this fortress had a rather unspoken name, called "Forward Fortress," just because it was adjacent to the undiscovered land where monsters live.

However, in the past 30 years, an unusually unclear red door called 'omen’, the Knight of the Unsullied, Eden De Esteban, risked his life to prevent a large number of monsters from being pushed down with more than 1,000 elite soldiers.

Eden was able to withstand the Red Gate without much damage, thanks to Eden blocking the northernmost uncharted land of monsters in Lahim Kingdom.

Similarly, the southern kingdom, ‘Arban’, which has a large number of monsters in the southernmost region, was a completely different result from the devastation of the southern kingdom.

And Rahim said he would gladly give Eden any award for his great achievements that would be recorded in that history.

But what Eden wanted was something a little bit bigger.

Instead of the name "Forgotten Fortress," I was asked to use the name "Fort Eden."

The king was more humble than he thought, but he listened.

So the fortress was able to get a new name, called Fort Eden.

“... he must have been a great man. ”

When Fort Eden heard that it had gained its name, she admired it.

Serzin's father seemed like a really great man. I had definitely seen him play a few times in NPC form, but I had no idea he was such a great person.

“.. but you didn't know that either? It's all about basic childhood education. ”

“... because I didn't go to kindergarten. But aren't you a girl? Why do you keep talking to your brother? ”

He said with a gesture impression.

It was not much to go on, but the spectacular sights in front of him made his mind uncomfortable.

Arlene and Serzin walk side by side in front of you.

They are just walking side-by-side with no words, and Serzin's gait is a little, no, a lot awkward.

She used to walk very regularly like her personality, two Hanats like this... but now she's a little irregular. Maybe he's just nervous' cause Aren's around.

“Brother, you haven't learned. Of course I knew that. ”

A curlin that opens its eyes in a playful manner like it was admired.

She had long, dark blue hair tied up in a ponytail and looked cool and beautiful enough, but she was just a little girl with no hair on her head.

“... what? Are you sure you want to go through this? ”

“Oh, brother. I'm scared! I'm scared! But won't you lose if you wrestle with me? I thought you were beaten to a pulp by a wagon. ”

Cullen continues to talk.

Ever since I got out of the wagon and happened to walk side-by-side, that mouth won't stop thinking.

It's not a good idea. It's a taunt to him.

I wish you would just shut up for five minutes, but you won't.

She bites her lips tightly and walks the path without a word.

“Brother, what happened with Jane back then?

“… What? ”

Don't answer me, I broke my promise in 5 seconds.

Cullen stopped and smiled at Saehan looking at her.

“No, I know you were doing something bad, but I was wondering what was going on. Jane didn't tell me.

“It's not a bad thing. I was just messing with you, and you were so scared, you apologized. ”

“Are you kidding?! W-what kind of sexual harassment is this?! ”

Kurlin shouts in a really loud voice, as if everyone around him is asking him to listen.

Saehan is stunned and shuts her mouth.

“No, no, man, shut up. Please be quiet. ”

“Meziri Ithnya! ”

Cullen lets out a persistent shout, even though her huge hand is clogged.

“I didn't really do that, really. I was just getting closer and... Jane was just a little more scared than she needed to be... Ugh! ”

Cullen bites his hand between the stars, and Forgiveness screams and pulls it out of her mouth.

“Oh, my God, why are you biting me? Are you a dog?"

He frowned, sniffing the smell of his hands with clear teeth marks.

Cullen smiles brightly, smiling at what a funny figure he looks like.

“Heheheh heh, heh. Did you really do that? Well, I'm sure he was fatter, darker, uglier, uglier, uglier, uglier than he is now.”

“Ah, that's enough. Speak your mind. ”

Sahan ignores Cullen and walks away.

And she spoke freely, just as she had said, until three seconds before arriving at the keep.

* * *

“Forgiveness, Ian, Evis. Anomaly Wizard. Arlene, Derohan, Cullen, Enin... Serzin...? ”

Bazko, commander of Eden Fortress, with a sharp beard, looks over the group and reads the list.

He looks surprised when he finds Serzin's name.

“.. an anomaly. Wizards speak of specialized attributes and types, and knights speak of weapons that deal with them. ”

But for a moment, Bazco spoke in a solemn voice to his original position.

A moment of silence has passed through the Commander's Room.

Bazco frowns and looks at Forgiveness.

“... from me? ”

In Saehan's words, Bazco said nothing, did nothing but stare at him.

“Ah, not, um, Mars Destruction Magic, but Mars Destruction Magic. ”

There was nothing to say that it was a specialized attribute or type. because they're all good, and they can do it.

But if I said that, I'm sure I wouldn't believe it from that Commander's attitude, so Sahan said it was fire and destruction magic with the highest rank of magic he'd ever learned, Class B magic.

He quit because none of the enchantments he had learned would be as useful in battle as‘ healing magic ’, but for some reason he thought it would bother him a lot.

The group reveals their traits one by one.

Ian is a Martial Destruction Magic, Ebis is a Weather Destruction and Auxiliary Magic, Arlene and Serzine, and Enin is a Sword. Derohan is the Great Sword, and finally Kalin is the Spear.

“Well, not as dangerous as you might think. As students of the school with a promising future, you are several times more important than the soldiers here. Well, I doubt any of you with any practical experience would be as useful as that. ”

Bazco seems a little sarcastic, but he thinks it's a relief. I thought you said you didn't ask me to do anything worth dying for.

Arlene is trembling to see if it isn't.

Bazco looks at the group and starts writing something down on the paper.

“What you need to do here, it's simple. You need to tear two to three and join the White Clan. You can help them defeat monsters three times a day and participate in a massive subjugation once a week.

After delivering all the information, Bazco shakes his hand like a nuisance.

The group looks back and forth several times.

“Hey, where are you? ”

Ian sits in a chair, vacant in the distance, and asks Saehan, looking at him.

“.. where's what? ”

She's always like this. Whether they are urgent in nature, they always cut off in front of them and only say after them.

It's cute, but sometimes it's stuffy. When I'm not feeling so good.

Sahan thought Ser Jinn and himself would be a pair, but they weren't.

When she said she was going to Fort Eden, she thought her father had used his power to do this.

So Zahan thought, of course, that he and Serzin would make a pair... but they didn't.

He teamed up with Cullen, who he hated most, and Serzin teamed up with Aren.

“Where are your barracks? ”

“... that says 0098 over there. ”

“... What the hell. It's not like me, is it? ”

Ian came and sat next to her, crying.

“What are you looking at? ”

“Clouds.”

“... Have you lost your mind? ”

“Phhaha... What, why. ”

Zahan laughed without even knowing it. It seemed like he was feeling a little depressed.

“Who did you say you were dating? ”

“I don't know. I don't know. She's a sophomore. She's a bit of a jerk. ”

Zahan looks at her as if she's sorry.

It was certainly a pity. Even if Ian wasn't with Aren, she teamed up with a complete stranger on her own.

Ser Jean and Arlene. Cullen and Forgiven. Derohan, Evie and Enin. And Ian and some dog.

I really don't know why you're squeezing me like this.

Strangely, this woman always suffers only the pity.

“Too bad.”

“… What. ”

“I should have been partners with Aren. ”

“ … ”

Ian frowned a lot and glanced at the forgiveness.

“Oh, sorry. ”

“Ha... Why am I the only team with someone I don't know? This doesn't make any sense. Do we protest?”

Sahan shakes his head. Judging by the Commander's personality, I don't think protesting will change that. It's a good thing we're not penalized.

“Hicci, I'm alone in this barracks. I really...”

Ian finally showed tears. I feel a drool with my head between my knees.

I'm crying again.I don't know how many times I've cried.

She sighs lightly and gently taps her back.

She wept for a long time, comforted by Forgiveness.

* * *

The cloudy sky. Ian comes back to the barracks, sighing and lying on his bed.

It's hard to feel. This isn't a bed. It's just a logging post.

“Oh my...”

I was annoyed again for no reason. I feel like I'm going to cry again.

I feel like I've been crying a lot lately.

I just get comforted by someone once, and I can't seem to stay out of the loop.

Suddenly, the man's face came to mind.

The strange man who makes himself cry.

I felt bad at first, but not now.

Rather, the more we meet, the clearer I feel.

The more I think about him, the more I feel weird.

“.. because he's so ugly. ”

Ian stares at the ceiling dazed and mutters low.
