We Live in Dragon’s Peak

"Ernea, if you're free, pick the one that's going to be firewood in the dragon forest."

It was my mother who threw me out of the house in the early morning. [M]

Sowing used for cooking in housework was important for less wealthy households like ours. If you give me a little money, I can substitute it with the Demon Crystal Stone of the flame attribute, but the house will already use firewood if that money is wasted.

If you pick up the firewood, it won't cost you any money.

And firewood was harvested in the dragon forest.

Dragon Forest.

A very large forest that is said to have existed long before the founding of the kingdom of Armuard. How big is it, it seems, takes nearly thirty days to reach the lake that it is at the southernmost end of the forest by entering through the forest entrance that extends south of the Wang capital.

It takes about sixty days to reach the king's capital of the neighboring kingdom of Yortenithos, so half of it. Of course it would take longer than normal because it's a trip in the woods, but still anyone can tell that the size of the woods is immeasurable.

And somewhere in the dragon forest, they say, the legendary ancient dragon lives.

We don't know what the legend is, and no one has ever encountered an ancient dragon, so we all don't know why it's called that.

But the dragon forest was strictly controlled by the kingdom, and even small trees were forbidden to fell.

However, even if logging was banned, I was free to take down dead trees or pick branches of fallen trees or something.

It was also rich in fruit, and for some reason it was an excellent hunting ground for hunters hunting beasts because no demons appeared.

It takes a minute's walk from my neighborhood to the Dragon Forest. It's two minutes back and forth, but it'll be a workout on my ankles, and as soon as I get into the woods, the firewood will gather, so I plan on leaving after lunch or so.

It's a holiday. Depressed by my lack of strength in my daily martial arts auditions, I walk with firewood on my back and intend to gain some strength.

Speaking of which, Listeer was out of school until yesterday.

Listea, who exhausted her curse to the extreme in a confrontation with the demon, seems to have fallen ill and fallen asleep.

The spell required for spells, and the magic required for spells (dust), when used up and depleted, appear to significantly weaken the surgeon's body.

Do you think weakened bodies are more susceptible to illness or some people fall asleep for a few days?

I didn't have a curse, so I heard about it in school, but it seemed important to someone with a curse.

By the way, power only resides in a baptized witch. Power is a shard of Goddess power that created the world, and you don't live in it unless you're a properly trained witch?

That's why men clerics don't have the power, and they can't use magic.

I knew the Creator was a goddess, so can't a man?

They don't even know if you ask the witch Louiseine or something about it.

Strange stuff.

That's why I went south on Wangdu's boulevard and through the high exterior walls, crossing the sprawling fields and coming to the dragon forest.

The feeling that there is no clear line from where is the dragon forest, and I guess I somehow went into the woods when there gradually became more trees.

Since the forest is already under the direct jurisdiction of the kingdom, there are no fields, so some people call it the entrance to the forest from the cuts of the fields.

I mean, no one really knows exactly what the forest entrance is. I'm sure even the country's officials don't know.

I can sit back in the shade of an affordable broad-leaved tree and rest for a moment. I walked all the way from home to here, so I got pretty tired.

But this is going to make good health.

I always need firewood anyway, and from now on I might as well make it my afternoon routine after school.

The season is over spring, but it's still a little early in the summer, the season.

I was sweating all over my body walking through and the wind was still a little cold.

Three sips of water from the water bottle, and I get up.

I felt a little hungry because the breakfast was light, but when I went into the woods, there were nuts and I went into the woods to try to eat them.

Little by little, the trees grow, and the branches of the trees darken the green ceiling.

The forest landscape, where the leaking sun gently illuminated the ground, was sober enough to wonder if this really was just south of the Wang capital.

I go through the woods looking up for nuts and looking down for branches that might be used for firewood.

Exactly near the entrance everyone picks it up right away, so I didn't have any eyeballs.

Well, that heap's folded in.

I decide to go a little further. [M]

I feel like just walking is a waste to building strength, and I pull out the slightly finer midsword I procured the other day and walk bareback.

Even the normal medium sword I borrowed at school felt a little heavy, so I chose a skinny, lightweight one. I was going to choose the best quality weapon I could combine the money my parents were saving with the dimes I was saving for weapons purchases.

I shake my sword to the right or to the left. At some point I forgot to pick up firewood and was obsessed with the bare swing of my sword, swinging it down and poking it from the top.

When my stomach started ringing, I finally remembered my original purpose.

If I realized it, I'd come all the way to the back of the woods.

The green ceilings are thick, and the depressed trees are wooded.

There were a lot of seemingly wet branch trees falling at my feet. You won't be able to use it as firewood right away, but just let it dry. I decide to pick up firewood around here. [M]

But before that.

I sat on a fluffy, soft moss and opened a lunch lunch box brought to me by my mother.

Eating lunch is quicker than looking for fruit when you get here.

When I opened the lunch wrap, I also had two loaves of rye bread I ate in the morning and a piece of cheese, containing meat simmered in a small cylinder of sauce.

I'll take it.

When I offered my mother a prayer of gratitude, she started eating lunch.

Not wealthy The meal in my house is qualitative, but my mother always invented it and the table was gorgeous.

Homemade bread and cheese. I know the meat has been simmering since last night.

Melt the moment the soft meat is in your mouth.

The cheese is rich and perfectly compatible with the crispy salty bread.

I immediately flattened it all out and took two sips of water from the water bottle at the end.

When my stomach was filled properly, I moved to pick up firewood.

I was actually due home after noon, so I'm long overdue.

As I was hurrying to collect firewood, I felt signs of something.

Even when I found the Demon Clan in my ruin exploration training, it was a good idea. [M]

I lift my hips and look around.

Growing trees and weeds. Depending on the location, the moss was on.

Even if the forest branches are blocking the sunlight, the soft light surrounds the forest and it's not dark.

Are you out of your mind? I tried to resume firewood collection. [M]

At that time.

Something moved in the corner of my vision.

I wonder what it is. I turned my gaze, but I see nothing.

Tension strengthens the body.

When I pull out my lower back sword, I remain alert to my surroundings.

This is a dragon forest. For some reason there are no demons in the Dragon Forest.

Then what did you see earlier?

There's a demon in my brain that showed up at the training ground the other day.

An unpleasant sweat blew out of his whole body and his knees laughed out.

No, no, that can't be right. Demons don't really come out very often. I'm not a demon.

Then what the hell is it?

Is it a thief?

Though near Wangdu, it's not like there are no thieves at all.

I don't know what to do, I don't have hardware. All I have is a damp tree branch and a medium sword.

Takeshi.

I was wary of those who saw what moved, but I felt the woodland stir from behind and turned around in a panic.

And.

I screamed and ran away.

Turning around, there was a giant gray wolf.

Soon he snuck behind his back, opened his big mouth and tried to round me up only.

My vision is sumptuous with fear.

He hit his knee about to collapse and ran desperately away.

Put the trees in an obstacle, turn right, turn left.

Run away.

But the roots of the tree take my legs, and I fall.

Fearful turning around, the giant wolf was coming after me slowly.

I don't have the footsteps to run for some reason.

Didn't I notice because there were no footsteps? [M]

I don't have time to think about that.

I get up in a hurry and run again. [M]

I can't keep breathing. My leg hurts too bad. My flank hurts. But I can't care less about that. I fled through the woods.

He's a warcraft. Definitely.

The dragon forest was reassured that there would be no demons.

Sure, there's no demons out there, but demons may come out and thieves may be lurking. And the fact that the Warcraft might be roaming wasn't even in the corner of my head at all.

He's coming after us, but he's not coming after us. He must be playing after me. [M]

But that's not why you don't run away. I'm sure when I stop running away, I get tired of playing and eaten.

For the first time, I was faced with a life-threatening crisis, and I was freaking out because of fear.

I was also scared when the demons attacked me at the ruins. I was also scared when the demon was lured into the training ground. But I also felt safe. There was a brave Listeir on the side. He would save me. I was relieved and scared because he was there.

But I don't have Listeir on my side right now. There's nobody here.

For the first time, I was truly afraid, and for the first time, I realized the importance of my life, and for the first time, I sincerely asked the goddess to save me.

Limit legs.

If I fall now, I'm sure there won't be any more.

Stumbling left foot. Desperately stepping out the right foot.

But there was no power in my leg when I was reaching my limit, and once again, I fell unnecessarily.

I look backwards unconsciously.

I shouldn't have seen it.

The warcraft, who looked like a giant wolf, curved his garlic eyes into an arc-moon shape, his sharp fangs wide open his surprisingly grown mouth, about to strike me.

My knee crushed off with fear over the limit.

My head turns white.

Will I die?

Warcraft's movements seemed slower than ever.

A bright red, creepy mouth looms.

That's when the ground that fell in collapsed.

I think I was down on the edge of the cliff.

The shock of falling collapsed the edge scaffold and dropped me to the bottom of the cliff.

Warcraft's mouth was shut on the verge, but it didn't reach me.

But I fall on a steep cliff. [M]

The whole body was beaten to pieces and the pain made me unconscious. [M]

The cool signs and the deep smell of ancient trees softly restore my consciousness.

Next, he gradually woke up with the smell and taste of blood like iron rust in his mouth, and returned to me with a severe pain running all over his body.

The first thing I saw with a heavy eyelid open was a beautiful green moss carpet.

I was sinking my body into a deep moss carpet and fell.

At the end of his sight, he did not see any falling cliffs, and many trees of immeasurable age were forested away from the tip.

Where am I?

I think so, and I remember the crisis, what happened to the Warcraft?

I can't help but force myself into a body that doesn't move the way I think it does with all the pain in my body, and I get up.

I got up and looked around.

I couldn't find a cliff anywhere that was supposed to have fallen for some reason.

I was in a place that all sides had pioneered. Deep moss, like a foot, thrived in the pioneering place, surrounded by giant old trees.

Look up at the sky, I'm surprised. Enormous trees, like ancient trees and other seedlings, were the umbrellas of the entire square with vastly spread branches.

No matter how staring, the heavenly side of the giant tree could not be heard.

I was seen by the divinity of giant trees. [M]

Open your mouth gently, open your eyes wide and look up at the giant tree.

Wouldn't every branch be thicker than the old trees around it?

I didn't know there was such a huge, divine tree in the woods.

Never heard of it in the first place.

The giant tree had made an umbrella in the square with branches, but the trunk was well ahead of the square. In the distance, I see a trunk so thick that I think it's already a tree.

And he kept lowering his sight, and I saw it.

The center of the square.

There was a mountain there.

I thought it was Oyama when I first saw it. [M]

But it wasn't.

There were giant dragons in the middle of a square where beautiful green mosses flourished and divine giant trees made umbrellas for branches.
