Book of 「1」

Chapter 12-NG+HE : [Part1]

As I decided, we now are heading toward the Revival Festival which happens only every 60 years, since it was a unique festival where people could could come back from the dead, strangely enough it picked my interest so I decided to head over there instead.

“Well now let’s rest for a while..”

…
…

The travel continued for 2 days, sea monster are rare in these sea which make the travel really lax.

…
…

I then saw a dream, a strange dream yet felt like it was real, two persons with scales on some part of their body were talking between themselves…

“It will be the very first festival to happen with outsider coming, it’ll definitely bring fortunes to us !”

“Yes, specially since from our informations, there’s absolutely no other place where dead people can actually come back alive, well let’s just leave the details of the corpse aside it’ll make more people come to see the miracle !”

“Well we did increase the number of ship so more outsider may come, I didn’t know there was so many rare minerals outside of our mine which is now nearly swiped clean, at least we’ll have the monopoly on the trade !”

Then both of them started to laugh haughtily.

“Well then we should also start disposing of this worthless system we’ve always worked on, with these…”

*CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP*
“HEY, wake up, we’re arriving !”

I felt annoyed because of the loud sound, and opened my eyes slightly and slowly.
Then I answered :

“Mh, what should we do now since the festival isn’t supposed to start yet ?”

“Well I wanna see if the princess really is as lovely as their rumor are, but since plebeian can only see her on the day of the festival, well let’s go to a cabared ! Thought it’s a land where the main race isn’t humans, from the rumors they’re still quite beautiful !”

Ugh, why is it that he only think about it.. should I ditch him the first moment I can ?
No no, in the first place it was him who proposed to head there, and I approved of it.. why did I approve.. WHY ?!

“Well do as you like, but I’ll to the palace first to see things mself.”
“LET ME JOIN !”
“…
No it’ll be boring for you anyway.”
“As expected you know me !”
“…”

I left him alone and then headed toward the palace alone, once I reached it, after looking again at the flag’s emblem, I decided to show the emblem I picked up at home back then. Since the emblems seemed close enough to the one this nation use, I wanted to ask a question about it.

“Errm excuse me, mister soldier, is it possible that you know about this emblem, it looked alike the one of your country which made me wonder if there was any relations.”

“Oh nice replicate you got there, this looks exactly like the emblem given in the old story of our country”

Old story.. something snaped in my mind.
The soldier then continued

“Well you don’t seem like you’re from here wanna hear about it ?”

“Mmh, I’m sorry but aren’t you in guard duty ?
Wouldn’t it be bad if you’re discovered slacking ?”

“Well that could be so, but in this country no one will do anything bad, so close to the festival, even if there is the outsiders stealing and robbing, they just get sent in jail and most of the outsider’s weapons can’t even pierce throught our weakest armor..”

Said the second soldier which looked bored

“Yup exactly, there shouldn’t be any problems, either way I don’t have any wish this time, last festival I already had my wish granted was able to see my wife again.. thought since I wasn’t that serious on work I was told that it’ll only be momentary..”

“Go find another wife already !”
“No way I’ll ever do that !”

“Well either way you don’t seem like a really bad one so I don’t think you would do anything dangerous, so wanna hear ’bout the story ?”

I fell in thought.

“Mmh wasn’t it a story about a woman from another race that suddenly appeared ?”

“Heh did you already go to a library to read about it ?”

“No I just felt like it was a story I heard from someone.
Also would it be possible to see how the festival is prepared ?
I have been curious about the resurection part and been wondering if there is anything in particular that could actually make it possible.”

“Mmh.. I’m sorry but the preparations are forbidden to be leaked.. so I can’t possibly let you pass, but either way this festival doesn’t look like it’ll be possible to see anyone..”

“What do you mean ?”

“Well there’s suspicion about some higher up.”

“Suspicion ?”

“Well, just a problem that has started to spread since the outsiders started to freely come and leave this place, also due to the 「Automatics mines」 starting to end up empty..”
“Everything items coming from our country works on magic energy or on the crystals, you know about it right ?”

“So that means that there’s less crystals ?”

“Exactly !”
“You pick it up fastly don’t you ?”

“With this information, you can know that since our crystals are emptying we need to get a nex source, and then some outsiders came and starting selling it.”
“With that some higher ups decided to stock up these crystals, either be it from the mines or from the outsiders which made the price go up..”
“Well doesn’t seem to be that bad yet but there’s a rumour about the higher ups doing something weird.. well for now it’s not like anything will happen !”

“Hey, it’s time for the shift !”

Some other soldiers came and anounced that, well it really is lax in the time of their festival..
At least let’s thank the soldier and head back to the inn.

“I’m really sorry to have taken your time and thank you for the information.”

“No no, we were able to remember this old story which everyone in the palace guards liked, don’t worry too much about it !”
“As he said”

“Well then, I’ll be heading back now.”

“‘kay don’t forget the festival takes place in the castle !”

“Yes, thank you again for the time !”

I waved back and left the place.

My Own story

This is the experimentation version of a story I’ll use for a game I’m thinking to make once I get enough found and after graduating from my university. knowingly that it will be made in a game everything which have a 「XXX」 will probably be switched by names or gender since I decided to make it so some text and characters change depending on your gender choice, while I’m also letting some holes for the game and illustration coming when I’ll feel like it

Book of 「1」

Chapter 1 : Prologue Part 1

I was dreaming, this dream was about my past, while some parts of this dream seems fuzzy.

I was raised by someone during the unending war between 「___」 and 「___」

I don’t remember much of the day 「she」 took me, that day where soldiers came to attack our village which was between the 2 country, a peaceful land where no one ever wanted to attack, because of its low value in the war, was now burned to a crisp, everyone in this village thought “Living here is hard, but well at least we get to live peacefully”

Everything was burning, they killed everyone, took the children, for an unknown reason, more than three fourth of the soldiers left with the childrens while the ones left behind searched for something.
I was still hiding, frightened that I could be found and send to an unknown location, or worse die while my parent’s last wish still sounded in my head.

Afterward one of the remaining soldiers finally found me, I thought suddenly, “now it’s the end, I’m sorry Papa, Mama I’m probably going to die soon… at least I’ll join you”

The head of the soldier suddenly fell.

That was when 「he」 said to me, a child that couldn’t do anything :

-“What do you want to do from now on ? Will you die here, or do you wish to take a painful yet joyful life ?”
-“…”, I was scared, yet amazed by this person, who killed the soldier so easily, while seeing 「his」 hand extended to me
-“Well either way it’s up to you, either you stand or stay lying down, it’s either living in this harsh world, or flee. Well saying flee won’t do anything you’ll probably just disappear as death takes you away”

And 「he」 began to walk away.
That was when I heard a voice telling me :

“Go you probably won’t regret it, at least you’ll be free to make your own choice after this”

That was when I followed 「him」, to a small hill where 「she」 was waiting for him.

Apparently 「she」 was 「his」 Master, and 「he」 had learned everything 「he」 know and was able to do from 「her」 teaching.

That was how my dream ended.

I woke up, in what seemed like an abandonned building, more like a ruin if you look closer.

What was the name of these people.. again ..?
Why can’t I remember this, while I still remember everything they had done for me.
Everything I was able to learn while being the child of a peasant,
That everything which was normally inaccessible to someone of a low rank in society..
I still remember what 「she」 said before leaving :

“I have to go now, the plan is already moving. I probably don’t plan to return in this house anytime soon.
So do whatever you want to do, start a trip to see the world, seek revenge, or whatever. We will meet again for sure, after all this world is small.”

I think that 「she」 smiled at this instant..
At that time I didn’t know what was [the plan] she talked about, even now I don’t know much of it yet.

Well let’s forget about the past.

Why did I wake up in this ruins in the middle of a forest while I was in 「her」 residence ?

Well I guess pondering about it won’t get me anywhere..

I should probably find a way to return to 「her」 residence, while waiting for them to return ?

As I got out of the ruin, strangely enough the whole ruin was exactly the same as the residence I was in, the number of floor, the furnitures, the rooms everything was the same as in my memory.
After thinking that I left the thought behind, since it wouldn’t solve anything.

As I got out, I remembered something 「she」 said

“These swords are yours and yours alone, no one should be able to use these as long as I, or you do not give them the permission to do so, if they ever do they’ll…”

Weird.. What was the last part of 「her」 words ?
With that, I remembered that I had forgotten the swords 「she」 gave me after completing my training.
One of the sword was unusable as I recall it was because of the unmovable chain locking it in it’s sheath, while the other is the ordinary sword I was using ever since 「she」 left.
The answer as to why it was sealed, it felt like it was in the missing part of that sentence.
I thought to myself “It shouldn’t be troubling, I guess”
With these in my possession I finally got out.

Walking in the forest with the aim to start my trip, I heard a scream.
That was when I met him, walking while using his sword as a support, he seems to have lost his leg recently seeing how he was still bleeding..
