Andea keluar dari rumahnya mendapati Enders yang bersiap memukul bola baseball yang hendak di lempar oleh Tyler.

"Pastikan kali ini kau tidak memukulnya terlalu keras, hitungan ketiga….tepat sasaran…!" ujar Tyler kepada Enders yang sudah berapi api.

"Harus tepat sasaran…!!!" Teriak Enders.

 1…2…3…!!! 

WWWUSSSHHHHHHHH…. 

bola melaju secepat kilat kearah wajah Andrea.

Andrea yang mengetahui hal tersebut hanya sedikit memiringkan kepalanya dan bola tersebut melaju kencang ke dalam hutan.

"HEY…!! Apa kalian berdua sudah gila?!!" teriak Andrea kesal kepada kedua kakaknya yang ternyata menargetkannya sebagai sasaran.

"Bagus.. kau membiarkan bolanya pergi begitu saja…" Tukas Enders yang justru terlihat kesal.

"Cih.. sekarang kita harus mencari bolanya.." Tambah Tyler yang juga ikut kesal.

"Permisi?!!! Aku yang menjadi korban disini..." Sahut Andrea yang juga terbawa suasana melihat ekspresi kedua kakaknya yang justru memojokkannya.

"Bisakah kau gunakan sedikit kekuatanmu…?" Ujar Tyler

"yaa…. kami sedang mengujimu, itu bahkan tidak dihitung sebagai pemanasan.." Enders menyombongkan diri.

"Aku akan menggunakannya hanya…. Ketika aku ingin…Ya!, hanya ketika aku ingin…
Bagus, kau menghilangkan bolanya Enders…" ucap Andrea mengalihkan topik pembicaraan yang kemudian berjalan masuk kedalam hutan untuk mencari bola tersebut disusul oleh Tyler.

Enders hanya mengangkat kedua tangannya keheranan.

"Oww.. ayolah… kalian berdua tak seharusnya begini padaku…" ujar Enders yang mulai merengek.

"diamlah.. dan mulai mencari…" tukas Tyler yang mulai risau akan keberadaan bolanya.

"ya.. lebih baik begitu…" Andrea menimpali sembari tertawa kecil membelakangi Enders.

Enders berpura pura tidak mendengar apa yang baru saja diucapkan adiknya itu dan mulai menelusuri hutan, ia mulai mengingat ingat bagian hutan belakang rumahnya ini yang sudah tak dikenalinya lagi. Hutan yang sama semasa mereka kecil dulu, sekarang telah menjadi hutan yang rimbun oleh pepohonan pinus yang menjulang tinggi bak menyentuh langit dan di penuhi semak dandelion.

"hei.. kau ingat ini?" Enders menunjukkan suatu guratan yang ada dibatang pohon.

"Ya…tentu saja, hari dimana kau gagal menemukan kami saat bermain petak umpat.." ujar Tyler

"Ya! ya… kau hampir menandai seluruh pohon dihutan agar kami tidak tersesat, dengan pisau kecil yang selalu kau bawa, kau menangis sepanjang jalan menuju rumah…Hhhahah" Andrea menertawakan kakaknya itu.

"Inikah balasan yang aku dapatkan...?, aku menangis karena khawatir mencari kalian yang justru sudah berada di rumah meninggalkan ku sendirian di dalam hutan dan menikmati sandwich buatan ibu tanpaku…apa itu adil..?" sangkal Enders.

"Aww…our precious one….ppffttt" ujar andrea dengan wajah yang meledek mengikuti gerakan dan ucapan yang dikatakan oleh ibu mereka setelah enders sampai dirumah di waktu itu.

"Aww….." ledek Tyler menambahkan.

Kemudian mereka berdua tertawa terbahak bahak teringat dengan raut wajah Enders sewaktu ia menangis dipenuhi oleh lendir ingus.

Enders tak bisa berkata apa apa lagi kepada kedua adiknya itu, semakin ia menyalak maka akan semakin pula mereka menjadi jadi. Akhirnya, enders memilih untuk diam dan mengalah.

Mereka terus berjalan hingga ketengah hutan, bola itu benar benar melesat jauh di depan hadapan mereka tadi hingga tidak tahu kemana arahnya pergi.

Andrea berhenti di depan sebuah pohon pinus yang cukup besar dan tinggi, ia melihat kulit pohon itu seperti terkoyak terkena benturan suatu benda. 

Andrea memegang batang pohon tersebut dan penglihatannya langsung berada saat bola itu hampir mendarat di wajahnya, bola itu terus melesat dengan sangat cepat menyusuri hutan hingga akhirnya terbentur di pohon tersebut membuat bola tersebut berbelok ke arah timur.

"Hey… Enderss…! Rane…! Lewat sini…, aku rasa bolanya mengarah ke timur…" teriak andrea kepada kedua kakaknya yang sudah berada cukup jauh dari posisi dimana Andrea berdiri.

"kau yakin..?" Enders mengangkat kedua tangannya kemudian berjalan mendekati Andrea disusul oleh Tyler.

Enders mendekati pohon itu, melihat ada bekas benturan disana. Kemudian Enders memegang batang pohon tersebut melihat visi yang sama dengan Andrea.

Hari sudah semakin sore perjalanan mereka menyusuri hutan untuk menemukan bola tersebut nyaris membuat mereka menyerah. Hingga akhirnya, Andrea melihat sebuah pohon yang tercakar oleh sesuatu yang sepertinya berasal dari hewan buas.

Andrea hendak memegang pohon tersebut untuk melihat peristiwa yang terjadi yang membuat pohon tersebut tergores. Saat Andrea hendak menyentuh pohon tersebut…

"Hey, An….! kemarilah kau harus melihat ini…" Enders mengajak Andrea untuk melihat sesuatu yang membuat andrea tidak jadi menyentuh pohon tersebut.

Andrea menghampiri Enders dan melihat sebuah pemandangan pantai yang mamanjakan matanya.

"Wooww…!!!" Andrea terkagum kagum.

"Aku bahkan tidak mengingat tempat ini…" ujar Enders yang justru bertanya tanya seolah ini kali pertamanya melihat pemandangan tersebut.

"Bayaran yang setimpal untuk semua lelah ini…" ucap Tyler yang muncul entah dari mana.

"Hey bodoh… kita bahkan belum menemukan bolanya…kembali ketujuan awal…" tukas Andrea.

"Hm.. itu benar, lagi pula aku belum pernah pergi ke hutan sejauh ini...bisa saja tempat ini akan menjadi satu satunya tempat yang harus kita waspadai.." ujar Enders yang mulai merasa tidak nyaman.

Mereka memperhatikan sekeliling tepat tersebut. Enders mulai khawatir karena ia merasa ada yang memperhatikan mereka ketika tiba di pantai ini.

Berbeda dengan kedua adiknya yang tidak merasakan apapun dari pantai tersembunyi ini justru berlarian kearah air dan bermain main layaknya anak kecil.

Deru angin pantai hampir membuat telinga Enders hilang kepekaan, ia hanya berdiri di tepian memastikan sesuatu yang sedari tadi mengganggu pikirannya, semakin Enders berusaha fokus pada pendengarannya semakin kuat pula tiupan angin yang menghujam gendang telinganya.

SSSRAAKK…! (sesuatu menginjak sebuah ranting pohon)

rrRRGGHH….! Seseorang menggeram dari balik pohon dan hendak mendekati Enders.

Dengan sigap enders membalikkan tubuhnya dan bersiap mencengkram leher orang tersebut.

"Kalian tidak seharusnya berada disini..!" ujar seseorang pria dari balik pohon yang hendak merobek tenggorokan Enders dengan tangannya.

"Siapa kalian…!!" gertak Andrea yang ternyata sudah berada dekat dengan pria tersebut.

"tentu saja kami manusia…, bukan monster seperti kalian…!" tukas seorang wanita yang tiba tiba muncul dengan sombongnya.

Keadaan semakin sengit dan kaku, masing masing dari mereka bersiap menyerang satu sama lain, Tyler pun sudah berada dekat dengan Andrea hendak melindungi adik perempuannya itu. 

Suasana berubah menjadi sangat dingin ditambah dengan kedatangan kelompok mereka yang semakin banyak mengerumuni tiga bersaudara keluarga Monrow.

"Benarkah…?! Jadi, katakan padaku, manusia jenis apa kalian..?!" Andrea menyangkal omongan wanita tersebut.

"Hey…! kau berada di wilayah kami…, jadi jaga mulutmu..!!" tukas wanita tersebut yang hendak menampar pipi Andrea namun urung karena Andrea berhasil menangkis tangan wanita itu.

"Kalian pasti bukan manusia…! Baumu seperti seekor anjing…!!" Ujar Andrea yang justru memperkeruh keadaan.

Wanita itu menggeram begitu pula yang lainnya mereka menyeringai kearah Andrea.

"Seah…! Path…! Hentikan!! " teriak seorang pria yang baru saja muncul secara tiba tiba.

"kau serius nona…? tolong Jaga ucapan mu…, ini bisa menjadi hal yang serius…" pria itu berucap kearah andrea kemudian ia melempar bola baseball yang ada di genggamannya.

"Bagus Ben… Kau membela mereka?!…, mereka melanggar aturan, kau tahu…!" ujar pria yang muncul pertama kali, dia adalah Path.

"Ku bilang cukup Path…!" bentak Ben.

"Kalian tersesat…? karena dari sini hingga ke arah tenggara adalah wilayah kami..., para Warewolf…" ujar Ben menjelaskan kali ini tanpa intonasi yang mendominasi.

"Kami mencari bola itu hingga kemari…" Enders menjelaskan dengan singkat.

"Hampir setiap pohon di perbatasan sudah kami tandai…! Kenapa kau masih melewatinya bodoh…!" ujar path yang kembali mendekat kearah Enders dengan raut wajah kesalnya.

"hentikan….!!!" Teriak Ben lagi kali ini ia menahan Path agar tidak melukai Enders.

"Ini salahku… aku tidak menghiraukan peringatan yang kalian berikan…maaf…" Enders menyalahkan dirinya sndiri karena telah membawa jauh kedua adiknya ketengah hutan tanpa berhati hati.

"Tentu saja ini salah ku juga.., yang telah melanggar masuk ke wilayah kalian tanpa melihat sekeliling …, kami bersalah…, maaf.." Ujar Tyler yang mencoba meyakinkan kaum warewolf.

"Peraturan tetaplah peraturan..!" sahut Path meluapkan amarahnya kali ini, ia merasa sangat puas.

"Tidakkk…! Tunggu…! Ini kesalahan ku, bola itu tak akan sampai disini jika aku menangkapnya…, aku telah melihat tanda peringatan itu di sepanjang pencarian kami dan aku hanya melewatinya…" jelas Andrea yang kembali membuat keadaan semakin rumit.

Tyler dan Enders hanya menggelengkan kepala kearah Andrea yang seharusnya tidak membeberkan kesalahan yang mereka sengaja, Enders mengetahui hal buruk akan menimpa mereka. 

Masing masing kaum memiliki batas teritorial yang tidak bisa dimasuki oleh kaum lainnya, dimana hukum rimbalah yang akan menyeleksi orang orang yang melanggar peraturan, hilangnya nyawa adalah tanda sebagai permohonan maaf.

"Kalian beruntung kali ini, karena aku tak berniat untuk membunuh anggota keluarga, seharusnya ini yang pertama kali dan terakhir kali nya aku melihat kalian di wilayah kami…, karena tidak akan ada kesempatan kedua bagi para pelanggar…" Ben mengurungkan niatnya untuk membunuh Monrow bersaudara menimbulkan banyak pertanyaan yang bisa dilihat dari raut wajah anggotanya.

Mendengar ucapan Ben, Enders, Tyler dan juga Andrea segera bergegas pergi meninggalkan mereka, kali ini Monrow bersaudara berlari secepat kilat dengan Tyler yang terpaksa di gendong oleh Enders agar tidak tertinggal, mengetahui dirinya hanyalah seorang setengah vampir yang tak kan pernah bisa mengikuti kecepatan berlari seorang vampir murni.
 
 
Next, New Life part 2

Sebuah hutan di desa transylvania menjadi hutan paling menakutkan karena siapapun yang mendekat akan menghilang dari peradaban. Konon hutan tersebut dihuni oleh makhluk abadi hingga tak satu orang pun  yang berani memasuki hutan tersebut.

Suatu hari, perselisihan terjadi di dunia vampire dan secara bersamaan manusia menyerang dunia vampir menyebabkan peperangan antar manusia dan kaum vampir itu sendiri.
akankah kaum vampire dapat bertahan...

There is wonders of strange trophy collections from many weird worlds that had been conquered. Heads strange things are ornament fashionable furniture pieces. Materials stolen form those worlds, they would not act in natural ways those elements should act instead used as clay for the pottery. China plates and other useless nobility way of showing wealth possible. Salt cellers, four sizes of matching drinking goblets and the table decorations that used to be god artifacts or of minerals harvested off grand beasts dawned at the beginning of time. 

It would all held splendor in the wrong sort of ways. Tacky that nearly looks fake, Halloween-like decorations that are real bones and skins. What has to be the worse truth of the matter is that there is no concept of death. Those body's still contain souls whom feel what is done to them. Unable to act out when you brain was scooped out with your own hands. 

The meeting of human forms is how they look naturally to this world they made home. At truth it hides the animals that they are. They carry a broken understanding of how to do what humanity does. Outdated learning of human society. 

Every being had their styles from all sorts of divergent ways of timelines, fashion that was erased due to their conquer. The more outlandish the more they hop to be noticed and favorable with thier highest rank lord. Often it were to show they not intentions of being the common filth. 

This gang of folks are creatures of no agreements normally together but their soul past of human mistreatment has scared enough. All walks of estranged life in death together for the purpose. 

All Clothus want to work out the universe but most of all why humanity across many versions seems to be... kind and cruel. This group focuses on trying to mimic the acts of cruelty by inflicting the same treatments they learned of humans on the worlds they snatch. 

As any good mimic of humanity should have, these are just a group of high entitled folks abusing their privileges and trust by active changing court systems. They played the system and won big with being seat warmers above others. Now it was thier turn to be tyrants over filth. 

"What of any news from the petty black coats?" 

"The corruption in the 'ladyship' is in our favour... soon she will bring us big caught of nexus timeline to rule as kings! Plenty of small timelines to branch claim for each of us." 

Among the servants whom puts drinks out, a beautiful lass in tacky well placed gems. Her collar was matching eye colour of a dark sandstone highlighted in flexs of gold. She lost her rights to control her body with how she gave them her soul name. Maybe she didn't even tell them her soul name. A toy doll of beauty for the face covered fools around here. 

A victim of someone else selling her soul... in her mind she gave up. Her actions are mindless and lost of personality within those glossy eyes. Her soul,  it fights for any freedom at any chances possible. Its the only thing about her that held resistance, it would always prove a point of making her freeze or refuse actions. 

"Soon her ladyship will be like her little sister here. Our little..." The one in charge takes pause, "Over here. Now." Making her sit on him, "As we acted always." Like a switch her behaviour was switched, making passionate contact with and a little less stiff as before. Laying across and playing with hair or hung chain  tear drop gems on his forehead. 

This leader is the most silent and listening of them. If or when he speaks they all listened. There is a self image being up held, holding back the more natural animal instinct. The smooth slides of to adjust staring at everything is the the closes action he makes to his true self. 

The overall covering is a toga of velvet like purple materials. Decorated by a scaled shirt made of rare metals, minerals, beautiful body pieces from otherworldly creatures and gemstones. His outfit matched his personal slaves rainbow colour arrangement, brightest colours lower and soon smooth in starlight necklace mirroring her collar. 

All went quiet because he spoke and made his servant come to his side in a manner that its only to torture or show off. The few snicker in how deep that servant stare is getting. 

Door of other rooms are slamming open, a breeze of power and energy surged around. A little of broken bodies or damaged building walls are apparently as the closer the gathering is. 

"You set me up to die." Screamed at her highest pictch but powerless comparing to all of the nobility whom laughed at her. The room is silenced  while a normal other servant was beheaded by her bare hands. The corpse tossed to the side with the Advicer going through clean up. 

At the adviser shock, the servant fix themselves and continued thier work. A instant that he knew now that his partner is right, death has no concept among the world of Clothus. It bares a problem of why his ladyship has been unable to take her sister back. 

"It seems you encountered another ender. What difference does it make to face another?" A left had speaker on the behalf of the boss, grins wide and at degree of twisting to look at her properly. 

"No. This one is different. He slaughtered my entire elite team, stole the six souls with their names from my private collection. This monster isn't some simple joke you make it be." She breaks the table in her temper. 

The close Clothus are stiffened still, low weak ranks like them would turn dust in her grasp. As of course low ranks sat farthest from the boss. Their seats mirror their ranks among themselves. 

Within herself she had to make sure not to act to broken hearted as she has to endure the her younger sister insists of being passionate all over the one in charge. A dog on heat with how insist those suggestive movements are. 

Anyone else paying attention and has been here long enough could make out that the servant was actually hurting the boss. Pulling off bits, making a breaks in the clothing. Those are not passionate kisses. They are full on blood drawn bites.

 Yet still for her ladyships unawareness of this fact, it more that her younger sister is still 'alive' and not dead. 

The deal is 'as good as dead' to a Clothus was more like living dead with no concept recalling past memories. This younger sister is meant to be dead, ashes that not bare shame. This was always the down side of hiring Clothus. She regrets the deal she made to sell her sister for power and place as a queen.

"And? Sounds like you're problem. We cashed in a favour for a favour. The cost goes up if you can't do it without our help." 

There is this conversation of judgment by all the lower nobility having fun at disgracing this black coat queen. Nothing more then a tool. The table flexed with repairing itself... the bones of the creatures it is made of back together as they were commanded. She was disgust by that more then the Clothus mocking her. That the furniture was 'alive', its how she knew her sister was nothing more then furniture to them. That same obeying glossy eyes like the many heads as light source holders. 

"I will prove some worth while to look into this mess, if my lord agrees." Cocky low ranks wanting to be showered in attention. This was simple fluttered with one gesture to make them sit. 

"No." The boss spoke softly at first with travels in a echo, "I give this lady a few hands to take with her... a few servant's whom will prove worth. If they pass this, they can be given a treat. If they fail, its not on anyone. Not even little miss will have no reasons to falter because of them. Just bugs whom need squishing. A perfect solution for us both." 

He stomps a foot under the table and put crawled thin figures at bow to him.

"You do as you are told by her orders. If you come back here, we will feed you."  The three bow and crawl are her... sunk into her shadow.

"Have you ever heard that it takes a ender to behead another?" Hyperly asked by someone among nobility and that the dinner room screams in sheer joy of it. 

"My advice is to steal the names of the one whom gives the hardest troubles. One you do... the rest crumbles." A weak rank whispered to the adviser, "Good luck taming the wild ones. They will eat sorrow." This was why the room was so full of laughter and joy... these pests underneath were eating away sadness and negative energy. 

"In fact..." The right hand in command makes the room quieter, "How nice would it be for us to have someone make sure those worms stay in check?" 

"Go on?" the leader wished to be amused. 

"Why not send a recruited newbie to prove their worth? Sending a little certain snake..." 

"Mmm... you make a good point. Have my dead weight brother go with you. He will be useless but at least his out there seeing the truth. Not locked away reading those dusty books." Snickered agreement howls among them. 

Such bookworm had actually heard this, wasnt reading. No... he know the right hand clothus wants him dead so they can squeeze their new son to take his place. 

This Clothus had nothing of wealth on show, nor did he have a servant of his own. He wasn't like other clothus here. He had no wounds, scars or had any experience of looking body parts. He had all of himself, no traded pieces. The clothing was common 2000's trends, a rock star torn jean look. Skater shoes. He was indeed younger looking and pouty. Leather biker coat with no logos or patches. 

They call him a snake, not because he was any reptile soul. Snake because it was the hair style of the recently popular spy video game recovered from a timeline world recently. He is related to the boss due two coming from the same human owners from their life as pets. 

The boss is a bearded dragon. This kid is the cat whom protected. Both died from being left behind, together. Neglect took the biggest toll. It were boss's worst punishment. Now that the boss brother had all the power, he neglected the cat whom in his eyes made things worse back then. Yet... this wasn't proper neglect by beardie. The boss sent secret messages and presents to encourage Cat into fending for itself. Cat does as he pleased at his own pace. 

"I will be ready in the hour." Accepting this game. He had to make his own chooses and moves eventually. This wasn't the best opportunity, but it wasn't the worst so he assumes. The room is stunned that the brother can speak, let allow defy any sort of possible command the boss was going to give him directly. It was unheard of in how the younger brother left without permission by boss. 

"This will not affect any current contract or make any changes. Those bugs I gave you are to be squished eventually. My little brother can defend himself if you failed. There no need to make a big deal." 

She stares at her shadow that was acting  up unnaturally for some moment. 

"Come on then." Cloaked and masked suitable for off realm travel, no skin or sections were visibly human like. The boss waved them away at agreeing. The two undertakers open a gateway. Cat jumps through after the Advicer and before her ladyship. 

Upon being the other side, the Clothus was as they were always seen as. Floating fabrics of cloth with a mask of stuck expressions. This fella currently in light was void black materials. In cloud cover when light dims, hues of red runic patterns scrolled over every drop and tendril. The face mask has also flexed a few red lines of features of his face... highlights to his mouth and eyes. The light  shone brighter again, hiding the red away.  

The Gate closed as waves of power is sent out to seek wherever Riddle and Hayto have disappeared to. As according to her powers, this is the closet she can be without being detected by something else. 


The room of Clothus all shreik in laughter by such luck. So excited that they ignored the lack of servants around here. The boss being observant lift already too.  The furniture was turned into ashes, releasing the souls of the thousands. The entire clothus law enforcement breaks through and cuffs every single one. 

"The big boss is missing." Three different investigations leaders coming for this joint operation noted instantly. 

"Issue the wanted poster boards." Demands to an assistant are made. Forensics jumps in quickly evidence collecting. The most important were that of the bodies of 19 ender beings underneath the table.

"Sir, a off world authority has agreed that this investigation is also their priority and wish to have representatives help oversee evidence." 

"A title name attached?" 

"The Elder of Enders, the soul tomes eater." read confused.

"Everyone stopped immediately!" Some smart screams, "This has turned into a god court section 19!" 

Gasps of all and instantly all methods of evidence gathering is handed over to realm experts. The three leader team are allow to help and continue controlling minor evidence. The entire building was scanned by off world technology and the flood of strangers around here playing a sworn oath to have everything covered. 

It will be a long case for generations to come. All of this was to be preserved for the longevity of it. 

"Soul tome eater?" the clueless leader asked the expert whom got this investigation so high-profile. 

"A Ender whom literally eats tomes of whole timelines; souls, space fabric and all. The rumours go, they have ate several universes. A monster that even god fears of the insanity levels scream from. You can not joke around them... they are to literal." A light cough, "In fact, 1000 Enders claim to respect and fear them." 

"I think this is way over my league of understanding. I dont even know what enders are." A newbie then, directed to the corpses of some under the table. In the lack of experience, came right up to the corpses. To only be strangled to near death and had the absolute fear ripped from himself. He was let go, those enders not somewhat aware curled in any way to hide from light.  He blankly stands up and had a whole team take evidence off him. Measuring the claw marks around the neck. 
"Enslavement marks!" Shouted around by many of the team a bounty hunter whom specializes marks came to take control of the enders by rewriting their soul contracts. The allowance meant they can be turned against the owners. Sniffer dogs on a soul connection scent. 

"This case is only getting worse. The punishment to befall the clothus cult responsible are going to regret it." 

Nods of agreeing at the fashion of looking uncertain with that. A common way Clothus agree incompletely to prevent soul contracts. 

"Universe laws just became multiverse laws." One of them corrected, "It is the first of its kind." That said has now unpacked a ton of misunderstanding and leaves these leaders of investigations terrified.

Welcome to a small wedge of a book series is to come. This book isn't even the first in the timeline of things. However starting here can make sense of the laws and creatures encountered in other books. 

Some of the volumes could each be considered its own book. Some views of the same event aren't always written the same ways. Some chapters will inevitably be repeated in other books. As the series as a whole wasn't intended to be posted online originally. 

The concepts touched on are just imagination and theories in a sort of storyline. I mean no disrespect towards anyone. So enjoy with a side of salt and open mindedness. Discussion is how always to resolve misunderstanding. 

Disclaimer for any spelling or grammar errors. I use writing stories as a way to counter my dyslexia. It also seems that my dyslexia has its way of telling any sort of story in the wrong order. I guess this is how I ended up with 20 books to edit and post. 

Good luck in the adventure. Your always welcome to comment.

*Yawn* I stretched my arms as I woke up. " Joshua's gone already... " I checked the table for a note. "There's some cupcakes on the fridge. Sorry if it's too sweet for your tastes. " Ahh... That Joshua... "It's fine you know. At least you always leave breakfast for me. " I ate the cupcakes in a few minutes. "Now then. What should I do now. " I turned to Joshua's computer. 

     I booted up the computer. "Alright. I should wait for a bit. " The computer finished booting up. I clicked on the browser and entered YeeTube.com in the address bar. The home screen for YeeTube. A lot of videos videos are shown. There's a search bar on top. "Hmm... Paradise Lost. " I want to learn more about this game. The screen showed a lot of results with the most viewed results at the upper portion. "Paradise Lost Opening Cinematic. " I pressed the top video. 




     "The world of Eden. The paradise lost after the original sin. The world of Eden was created by the Supreme Being. Eden is a peaceful world where the people live in harmorny. Through the ages, the people progressed and developed. The First Golden Age of Eden was reached. "

     "Although the world is evolving, the people of the world were consumed by pride, envy,  greed, gluttony, sloth, lust, and wrath. Peace in Eden suddenly ended as wars were waged all over the world. The First Great War. Things took a turn for the worst when the World Enders, malevolent beings of absolute power, arrived on Eden. "

      "The people of Eden were slaughtered. Millions of lives were lost. The people repented for their sins only after losing so much, that's only when people decided to disregard differences and work together. But it wasn't enough. "

     "When hope is almost lost, the Supreme Being released magic on the world, giving the people power to repel the World Enders.  After the great war, the people slowly recovered and the Second Golden Age of Eden was reached and peace remained for a long time. Until now. "

     "The Second Great War is upon us. The people of this world are destroying this paradise once again. It's up to you to stop it... Save the paradise that was once lost.... "




     "T-this is! The history of Eden! " The Second Great War ended more than twenty years ago after the World Enders were repelled. Now, in the Eden has entered its Third Golden Age. The world is united once more. But then again, this alreasy happened two times now. I just hope we won't repeat our past mistakes. 

     The next video automatically played. "Paradise Lost: Iron and Blood Opening Cinematic. " Where did I hear that before? "Twenty two years after the Second Great war. Although it seems that peace is finally upon the world, it is far from the truth. " I heard that voice before. "In Iris Nationale. A country in the west side of Europa. " I know that voice all too well. "W-what?! That voice! How could this be?! "   How could I forget my own voice? How does this video have my voice!? 

     "A country of beauty and grace, sullied by the corrupt nobles. "  "The strong keeps opressing the weak. For years, there was no change. The nobles were successful in maintaining the status quo. " "But now, things will change. The people have suffered enough. " 

     An explosion happened in the middle of a city. The people started a revolution. The noble conference was attacked. A lady is fighting waves of enemies. "Is that me?!" I was shown fighting chimeras. "Why won't you give up!?! " A distorted voice asked. "I've already lost everything. There's nothing more to lose. " 'my' voice said. The video shifted and showed the world the words Paradise Lost: Iron and Blood. 

     I remember now. I saw Iron and Blood before when Joshua showed my my own personal profile. "But how could this be? For something to perfectly capture the the events on Eden... For something to perfectly imitate reality... " They must've used some sort of magic... I watched more videos on the computer...







     "Thanks manager. I'll be heading off now. " I just received my paycheck for the week. "Be careful. I heard that it's getting a lot more dangerous out there. " said the manager. "Yes. I'll be going now then. " I took a slight bow. 

     After heading out the store, I overheard a two people having a conversation. "Oh shit. So it is true! " "I heard the body was brutally mangled. " "Oh. My. God. Look at this! " "Ugh... That's too much. " "It's already the third time this week. I'll show you the other bodies. " "No no no! I won't be able to sleep! "

     Were they talking about dead bodies? "No wonder the manager told me to be cautious. " I went to the shopping district to buy dinner. Near the shopping district, I saw a crowd gathering beside an alleyway. I approached the huge crowd. 

     The people were trying to take a peek at the alleyway. "Settle down people! Settle down! " A policeman was stopping the people from entering the alleyway. "What happened over there? " I wondered. "Oh God... That's fourth time this week! " shouted a woman. "What the hell is going on!?! " a man shouted. Countless chatters can be heard from the crowd. 

     "Things are really getting bad here... " I guess I should go home soon. " I bought pizza from a pizza place in the shopping district. A police mobile passed by. "Another dead body was found!? " "Yes! I overheard some people talking. 

     "Another person was killed?.... " I felt a chill run down my spine. "This is bad... " I muttered. There's no telling where the killer would strike. I don't even know if there's just one killer. *rustle* "Gah! " I was surprised. *rustle rustle* A nearby bush was shaking. 

     I tried to walk away when something came out. "AHHH! " I tried to shield myself. *meow* "Eh? " A cat came out of the bush. " ... " I was speechless. "I got scared to death by a cat... " *meow* I looked around. "*sigh* It's a good thing there's no one else here. " I sighed in relief.

     I was almost near the apartment when I heard someone scream. "AAAAAAAAAHHH! " I heard the voice of a man. "*gulp* What was that?... " I was nervous. I followed the voice. Upon reaching an alleyway, I saw a man's head rolling on the ground. 

     "What the..... " I looked at the alleyway and saw something in the dark. A shadowed figure looms over a headless body. "!!!" I tried to run away but the figure turned towards me. "!!!" Blood red eyes shined through the darkness. I felt the figure stare at me. 

     I froze up. "Grrrrrk... " The figure made a sound. "GRAAAARGH! " The shadowed figure revealed itself. A grotesque humanoid monster with sharp claws. "A monster!?! " I shouted. The monster charged at me. My body moved on its own. The monster charged  at me. "Oh God! I don't wanna die! " I desperately ran for my life. 

     I ran as fast as I could, but the monster was faster. "Shit shit shit! " I was fearing for my life. "GRAAAAARGH! " The monster is now catching up to me. "FUUUUUCK! " I could only scream as the monster's growls grow stronger. 

     "GRAAAAAGH! " The monster slashed at me. *Crack!* The monster easily tore through the brick wall behind me. Fortunately I managed to duck in time. Unfortunately, the monster was still in front of me. "OH SHIT OH FUCK! " The monster unleashed a flurry of slashes. I did my best to dodge every slash from the monster.

     I managed to find an opening. "RUUUUUN! " I ran as fast as I could. "GRAAAAARGH! " The monster continued its chase. "*huff* *huff* *huff* I don't wanna die! " I didn't look back. I just ran forward. The monster's growls grew stronger. I can't run much further. I'm already at my limit. The monster is now behind me. Is this the end?.....









     "Hmm? What was that feeling?... "






     "Lightning Strike! " A bolt of lightning tore through the monster. "What the!?! " I was surprised. A person slowly approaches me from the shadows. The person is carrying a sword pulsing with lightning. Eventually, a familiar face was revealed.

     "No way... Albert? " I muttered. "Are you okay? " he asked. "Yeah. I'm good. Thanks for saving me. " I replied. "No problem. It's a good thing I was able to make it in time. " he said. I looked at the monster. Its corpse has been ripped to shreds by Albert's attack. "Damn it. So monsters have infested this world too... " he muttered. 

     "... Are you the Albert from Paradise Lost? From Britannia? " I asked him. "Yes. I assume you found out from the game as well? " he asked. "Yeah... " I replied. "Some unknown force transported me to this world. I don't know who did it but I think I know why. " Albert said. "He's just like her... " I muttered. 

     "I assume you're heading home? " he asked. "Yeah. My house is actually not that far from here. " I replied. "That's good. You probably won't encounter another one. " Albert said. "I do hope so. " I muttered. "Things are looking bad right now. I'll be hunting for more monsters. See you around. " Albert then headed towards the suburbs. 

     "Hey! Albert! Thanks again! " I shouted. Albert nodded in the distance before fading into the shadows. "Guess I should go home now... " I muttered. I started walking. After a few minutes, I eventually reached the apartment. 

     "I'm back. " I said upon entering the room. "Oh. What took you so long? " Amelia asked. "Some monster attacked me. " I told her. "Wait a minute. A monster attacked you!? " Amelia stood up from the computer chair and approached me. "Are you alright!? Are you hurt!? " she asked. "I'm good. Albert saved me in time. " I replied. 

     "Thank God... " Amelia sighed in relief. "I thought there weren't any monsters in this world? " she asked. "That's what I thought too. Albert said that the monsters might have something to do with you being transported to this world. " I told her. "The monsters came here because of us!? " Amelia was shocked. 

     "I don't think it's because of that. It might actually be the opposite. Albert said that he had a hunch. " I told her. "I see... I do hope that we were called here to deal with the monsters. I don't want innocent people dying because of me... " Amelia said. "That's what I believe. " I said.

Felice menatap Axcel dan Reese yang hanya duduk diam di sofa ruang tamu rumah Felice.

Sementara Felice yang duduk di sofa single di hadapan mereka berdua mulai jengah. Sedari 30 menit yang lalu, mereka hanya diam diaman tidak jelas seperti ini.

Akhirnya Felice angkat bicara. "Jelaskan!"

Reese dan Axcel saling pandang, kemudian sama-sama menatap Felice.

"Apa yang ingin kau tahu?" tanya Axcel.

"Semuanya"

"Felice... Aku rasa lebih baik kau tidak usah tahu-"

"Bukankah sudah sangat terlambat untuk itu, Reese?"

Reese dan Axcel menghela napas lelah kemudian kembali saling tatap. Seolah sedang bicara melalui telepati, mereka saling menatap tajam dengan ekspresi tipis yang berubah ubah.

Akhirnya Reese mengalah dan memutus tatapan itu duluan. Reese menarik napas dalam kemudian menatap Felice serius.

"Sebaiknya kau tanyakan saja pada Sir Ervan"

"Aku ingin mendengar penjelasan dari kalian" tekan Felice.

"Enders hanyalah sebuah organisasi sekolah Lice. Kami seperti osis.Hanya saja khusus bagian keamanan. Dan kami hanya menangani kasus tertentu saja"

"Seperti?" kejar Felice.

Kali ini Axcel yang angkat bicara. "Tindakan nakal remaja yang sudah di luar batas wajar. Seperti pemakaian dan pengedaran obat-obatan terlarang di area sekolah, perundungan tingkat ekstrem, terror, dan lainnya"

Felice mengernyit. "Memang hal seperti itu ada juga di sekolah kita?"

"Kau siswi baik-baik Felice. Tapi kau juga tidak bisa memungkiri bahwa tidak semua orang di lingkungan sekolah kita baik, kan?" jelas Axcel.

Felice mengangguk paham. "Jadi.... Sir Ervan merekrutku menjadi seorang Enders?"

Reese dan Axcel sama-sama mengangguk. "Tapi kau tidak harus menerimanya, Lice. Enders memang hanya menangani kasus kenakalan remaja di sekolah kita. Tapi di beberapa kondisi, itu bisa membahayakan dirimu. Terutama karena kau perempuan"

"Memang kenapa jika aku perempuan?!" Tanya Felice Sewot. Entah kenapa dia merasa tersinggung mendengar ucapan Reese yang terkesan merendahkan kemampuannya.

"Bukan begitu Felice. Kau tahu anak seusia kita memiliki emosi yang labil dan pemikiran yang pendek. Banyak kasus siswa yang sangat nekat hingga tak segan menyerang kami. Bahkan terakhir kali salah satu anggota kami harus mendapat 5 jahitan di perutnya karena di tusuk pisau"

Felice bergidik ngeri. Itu tindakan yang terlalu ekstrem untuk ukuran anak sekolah menurut Felice. 


Selama ini, sekolah yang Felice tahu hanyalah sekumpulan pelajar dengan tingkah yang normal-normal saja. Adapun beberapa yang nakal, itu hanya sebatas merokok dan menyebarkan gosip murahan saja. Yang paling parah yang Felice tahu hanyalah tindakan mengolok-olok dan perkelahian perempuan biasa. Kau tahu seperti saling menjambak dan mencakar?


Tapi ternyata banyak hal mengerikan yang terjadi di sana. Hal-hal yang tidak semua siswa tahu. Tapi di sisi lain, Felice juga merasa tertarik mengetahui sisi lain dunia sekolah itu. Karena semua hal ini mengingatkannya pada sesuatu yang penting di masa lalu. Felice ingin mencari tahu apa semua ini berkaitan dengan kejadian 'itu'.

"Itu terdengar menarik. Aku akan bergabung"

Reese melotot sementara Axcel menggertakan giginya kesal.

"Felice! Aku serius! Kau tidak boleh bergabung dengan Enders. Itu sangat berbahaya!"

"Reese... Aku tahu itu. Tapi aku juga tidak bergabung hanya karena merasa penasaran atau ingin menjadi bagian sesuatu yang keren. Aku punya alasanku sendiri"

"Alasan apa?"

Felice tersenyum menatap mereka berdua dengan tatapan sayu penuh luka. "Nanti. Aku akan memberitahu kalian jika aku sudah siap" 

Reese dan Axcel tertegun. Mereka tak pernah melihat ekpresi Felice yang seperti itu. Felice yang mereka tahu itu cuek, baik, ramah, dan ceria walau pun ia kadang bersikap dingin. Mereka tahu Felice juga bukan tipe gadis yang melakukan sesuatu hanya untuk menuai pujian atau demi di pandang keren oleh orang lain. 

Reese dan Axcel saling tatap lagi. Setelah itu mereka sama-sama menghela napas gusar. Mereka tak tahu harus bilang apa sekarang.

"Baiklah. Tapi kau tahu kan, Enders itu organisasi rahasia sekolah?" ucap Reese pasrah.

Felice mengangguk sekali. "Iya. Aku tahu. Ruangan kalian saja tersembunyi begitu"

Reese meringis pelan. "Yah, walaupun kami organisasi rahasia sekolah, tidak semua guru tahu bahwa kami ada. Hanya beberapa saja yang memang berkaitan. Selain itu, Kepala sekolah juga tahu tentang Enders. Tapi beliau bahkan tak tahu anggota pasti Enders. Jika kau bergabung. Itu artinya tak ada perlindungan apa pun dari pihak sekolah"

"Aku mengerti"

"Kau tidak berubah pikiran? Masih belum terlambat untuk mundur"

"Reese...." peringat Felice.

Reese mengangkat kedua tangannya ke udara seolah menyerah. "Baiklah... Baiklah. Itu keputusanmu, Lice. Tapi jika berubah pikiran, kau bisa mengatakannya pada kami"

Felice tersenyum. Ia tahu Reese dan Axcel khawatir padanya. Tapi ia tidak akan mundur dengan mudah. "Terima kasih"



£££


Beberapa menit yang lalu Sir Ervan menelepon Felice. Ia meminta Felice, Reese dan Axcel untuk datang ke sebuah alamat yang Reese dan axcel sebut sebagai markas pusat. Felice yang tidak tahu apa-apa hanya mengikuti kedua pria itu.


Setelah menempuh perjalanan selama 15 menit menggunakan mobil Axcel, mereka bertiga sampai di sebuah 'Rumah Besar' dengan pagar tinggi menggelilinginya.

Rumah itu terletak di pinggir kota, berbatasan langsung dengan hutan Nightbale yang tak terjamah. Atau setidaknya itu yang Felice ketahui.

Setelah memarkir mobil di depan rumah, Reese dan Axcel mengajak Felice memasuki rumah besar bergaya modern itu.

Reese dan Axcel sama sekali tak mengetuk pintu. Reese mendekatkan wajahnya ke alat pemindai, setelah itu, sinar biru lembut menyorot retina matanya. Axcel membuka pintu dengan perlahan. Kesan pertama saat memasuki rumah besar itu adalah, maskulin.

Dinding dan semua perlengkapan yang ada di sana di dominasi warna hitam putih. mulai dari sofa, cat dinding, meja dan semua yang tertangkap mata Felice berwarna hitam atau putih. Sama seperti ruangan di balik perpustakaan waktu itu.

Lalu seorang pria seumuran mereka datang dari arah tangga menuju lantai atas. Pria dengan rambut pirang dan bermata hazel yang indah.

"Oh! Kalian sudah datang!" seru pemuda itu riang. Lalu berlari kecil kearah mereka bertiga yang masih berdiri di dekat pintu masuk.

"Hei, Vin! Kau juga di sini?" sapa Reese ramah.

"Semua orang ada di sini. Mereka sedang berlatih"

Felice mengernyit. "Berlatih?" gumamnya heran.

Tatapan pemuda yang Reese panggil dengan sebutan 'Vin' tadi mengarah pada Felice.

"Nice to meet you Miss Derbian!"

"Kau mengenalku?"

Pemuda itu tertawa. "Tentu saja. Kita satu sekolah, dan lagi, aku pernah datang ke pestamu"

Felice semakin bingung. Pesta? Tapi dia tak pernah menghadiri pesta apa pun. Ia bukan gadis yang suka pesta.

Melihat kebingungan di mata Felice, Pemuda pirang itu menambahkan. "Barbeque party. Remember now?"

Mata Felice melebar kemudian mengangguk. Ia ingat sekarang. Pemuda pirang itu adalah salah satu teman Reese dan Axcel yang datang ke pesta perpisahan Lena dulu.

"Jevin. Right?" tebak Felice yang disambut seyum dan anggukan antusias pemuda pirang itu.

"Baiklah, karena kau berhasil mengingatku, sebaiknya kita langsung ke halaman belakang saja. Semua sudah menunggu kalian" ucap Jevin. Pemuda pirang itu memimpin langkah menuju pintu belakang rumah. Mereka semakin masuk kedalam rumah, melewati dapur hingga sampai di sebuah pintu coklat sederhana.

Saat pintu terbuka, Halaman hijau berumput yang terlihat sangat luas membentang di depan mereka. Ada sekelompok pria berpakaian hitam. Bukan pakaian serba hitam seperti setelan jas para bodyguard atau seseorang yang hendak melayat. Tapi berkaos hitam ketat dengan celana training berwarna hitam dengan garis putih di bagian sisi luarnya. Beberapa dari mereka terlihat sedang menghajar samsak, ada juga yang bertarung 1 lawan 1 sisanya terlihat sedang melakukan olah fisik seperti sit up, push up dan lainnya.

"Holla everyone!!" seru Jevin keras hingga menarik perhatian semua orang. Mereka berhenti dari aktivitas masing-masing dan menghampiri ke empat orang yang baru tiba.

Ada sekitar 7 orang pemuda dan 4 orang pria yang lebih dewasa di sini. Dan salah satunya adalah Sir Ervan.

"Ah! Kalian sudah datang?" ujar Sir Ervan basa basi. Felice hanya mengangguk samar.

Sir Ervan beringsut ke samping Felice, merangkul bahu gadis itu akrab. Sementara Felice hanya bisa diam tanpa protes.

"Perkenalkan, semuanya, ini adalah Nona Derbian. Anggota baru kita. Kalian pasti sudah mengenalnya kan?"

Semua orang mengangguk. Yah, mereka memang mengenal Felice, karena ternyata semua orang yang datang ke pesta barbeque tempo hari adalah anggota Enders.

"Perkenalkan Felice, mereka semua adalah para Enders. Termasuk Reese dan Axcel, anggota muda kami ada 9 orang, ditambah kau jadi 10. Juga ada 6 orang tingkat menengah. Aku dan 3 pria dewasa di sana adalah para Trainer sekaligus anggota senior. Kami yang melatih anggota muda dan mengawasi mereka saat melaksanakan misi. Sebenarnya ada satu orang lagi yang merupakan pemimpin kami. Dia yang memberikan misi sekaligus mengelola sistem Enders. Tapi sepertinya, dia akan sedikit terlambat"

"Pemimpin? Aku pikir hanya kalian anggota Enders"

"Tidak, masih ada lagi. Karena sebagian anggota sedang mengikuti kegiatan kampus, jadi mereka tak bisa datang hari ini"

"Kampus? Mereka mahasiswa?"

"Ya. Lebih tepatnya mahasiswa Seiren University"

Felice mengangguk mengerti. Awalnya ia pikir anggota Enders hanya anak-anak SMA saja. Tapi ternyata mereka merekrut mahasiswa juga. Ngomong-ngomong. Seiren University masih satu lingkungan sekolah dengan Seiren High School, Walau gedung High School dan Kampus lumayan berjauhan.


"Oh ya, ngomong-ngmong...."Sir Ervan menggantung kalimatnya. Ia melepas rangkulan di bahu Felice dan menghadap gadis itu sepenuhnya. Sir Ervan menatap Felice dalam kemudian mengulurkan tangannya yang di sambut Felice dengan ragu. "Welcome To Enders 21, Miss Derbian!" ucapnya tegas.

TO BE CONTINUED....

Felice hanyalah seorang remaja yatim piatu biasa. Seorang gadis cerdas yang tidak pandai bergaul tapi sangat menyukai beladiri dan novel fiksi.


 Kehidupan Felice yang membosankan berubah saat ia berhasil membuka pintu di balik rak buku perpustakaan sekolahnya. Sejak saat itu, mau tak mau ia harus terlibat dalam beberapa kondisi yang beresiko mengancam nyawanya.

"What did you see?" Arthur asked with his heart racing. Whatever made Sier this shaken can't be something good. He waited for Sier to calm down before he walked over and pulled a chair to sit on. 
"Si, what did you see?" Arthur asked again after he sat on his chair, leaning forward to meet Si's eyes. Si met his eyes before falling into silence. As if he calmed down, he butted out his cigarette with a sigh.
"I saw the Enders."
"What?" Arthur frowned, as he had already met the Enders before. "You mean those that took over Alfred?" 
"Haha," Si laughed suddenly, an unfamiliar helpless tin in his voice. "Those are not the Enders, but purely creatures they created. Their minions, at most." 
"You mean…"
"The Enders are far more powerful, Arthur." Sier looked him in the eyes. As violet and purple lights flickered in his eyes, he continued. "The only reason the world hasn't fallen is that they can't descend into this realm." 
"Why can't they?" 
"I don't know," Sier shook his head. "Maybe there's no one powerful enough to host them." 
"Everyone calls them the Enders, and calls the one serving them the Nether Beings." 
"They're not wrong, Arthur." Sier shook his head. "But that's not accurate. These creatures that we see are only a part of them. A fragment they tore of themselves."
"So, what did you see?" 
"I tried seeing into the void to see their goals. I wanted to see their plans regarding…" 
Sier suddenly paused as if he had been struck by lightning. He turned toward Arthur with clouded eyes as if he couldn't believe he was here. 
"How long did I stay unconscious?" He asked with sudden alienation.
"A few days, barely."
"What happened in the Runes Apprentice Cup, how come you're here?" Sier looked at him with doubt. Arthur sighed and told him what happened. As he listened, Sier fell silent. "I see," Sier said after a sigh. "I'm glad everyone is safe." 
"They're resting in the fortress," Arthur assured him. "Ivy was injured, but she's using the mana room to heal." 
"Isn't it better to have Vihan heal her?" Sier was confused. 
"She doesn't want to own the drunk bastard, she said." Arthur shrugged. "She's using her ability to heal herself." 
"Overpowered ability, to be honest." Sier laughed, diffusing the tension. Arthur wanted to say that all of Mistletoe's members had overpowered and unique abilities, but he refrained. 
"That's why you chose them because you saw something in them." Arthur smiled. Seeing that Sier was calmer now, he brought the topic back up. "What did you see, Sier?" 
"You should already know that there are two other artifacts beside the crown, right?" Sier asked. Arthur blanked for a moment before nodding. It was a long time ago, but Yuran has told him something like that in the trial. 
"One of the other artifacts is as much as seen as the holy crown: never. If the holy crown makes you the king of the new world, then this one is the key to that world." 
"You mean…" 
"The Enders are looking for that Artifact." Sier massaged his temples. "If they manage to obtain it, then…" His voice trailed but the rest was obvious.
'What Jizo fears will happen.' Arthur realized; his heart being squeezed by dread. 
"We need to find it before they do." Arthur's mouth turned into a thin line.
"The thing is… it has never appeared before." Sier's voice shook a bit. "Now, however, it appeared." The room fell silent before Si continued. "They're looking for it." 
"Do you know where it is?" Arthur asked but Si simply shook his head. 
"Nothing specific, just a general direction. I've tried to look into its location, but I was obstructed by the Enders. Thus, I ended up this way." 
"What did you see?" Arthur repeated. 
"I saw… a flying city." Sier sighed as if he found this whole notion ridiculous. "There's only one place that can match this description. However, it doesn't make sense."
"Jerano." Arthur's eyes widened as he remembered the pictures he saw before. The flying city of Jerano was known throughout the world. Sier nodded. "Why doesn't it make sense?" Arthur asked, confused. 
"Because if there was such an artifact, Master Ronin would have known about it when he worked there. However, there's no such thing there. That means the artifact had just arrived in Jerano, or… had yet to arrive." 
"Well, fate is a cruel jester sometimes." Arthur leaned back into his chair as he laughed helplessly. Sier looked at him with puzzlement so Arthur continued. "There's a part of what happened in Runera that I haven't mentioned before." 
"What is it?" 
"I threw away my identity as Arthur Silvera." Arthur chuckled wearily. "I had no choice, given that they had already caught onto me." 
"You… what?" Sier tilted his head with raised brows. Arthur looked around the room and spotted a TV. 
"Well, I haven't seen the news yet either. Let's figure out what happened together." Arthur smiled and opened the news channel.
As he had expected, the attack on Runera was the main headline in the world. There was also a dungeon break in Orlan that was a big deal, but Runera's event was the juicier of the two. 
"The whereabouts of Mistletoe, who had sided with the forbidden magic users, are still unknown to date." The reporter said. 
"What is he talking about?" Seir gaped. 
"Well, that's the result of the trap I told you about. They've set us up to be the villains." Arthur hmphed. "It's obvious that the Ilios Empire was pulling some strings, but I guess our reputation wasn't as solid as we thought." 
"Luckily, the Ilios Empire was there to negotiate peace with Runera." The reporter continued. "The empire has declared that the reason for the way they started was due to their belief that the Calamity Spider was going to be used by the Yalveran Union against them. After all, a member of the royal family was the one that had taken over the giant metallic monster." 
"Oh, that excuse is pretty good. After all, the attacks happened simultaneously." Arthur raised his eyebrows in surprise. 
"I guess that's the reason they arranged Alfred to be the traitor." Sier sighed. Arthur was about to ask something but hesitated. "What is it?" Sier asked. 
"Well… I'm sorry about your brother."
"Hah," Sier laughed in self-ridicule. "Don't be, I don't mourn the bastard. He was younger than I was, but he didn't mind making my life a living hell at the palace." 
"The Iliosian army was teleported on short notice to apprehend the culprits of the attack. The Ilios Empire has stated that the army was on standby because there was an anticipated dungeon break." 
If the awakeners couldn't stabilize the dungeons by clearing them and opening the gates to the other world, the monster inside the dungeon would break through the unstable portals and attack the citizens. 
"This is bullshit." Arthur felt his blood boil in frustration. "They're trying to make ends meet in any way they can. How can the people not see the hypocrisy of their actions?" 
"It doesn't matter." Sier shook his head. "Unless they had the power to take down the empire itself, there was very little meaning in antagonizing them. As for Runera, the only neutral power in the world, it's ironically filled with inner-conflict because of everyone's different nationalities." Before Arthur could answer Sier's words, the reporter continued. 
"Sadly, there are many causalities and missing people. One of them being Arthur Silvera, who had lost his life in his fight against one of the forbidden magic users. In his tribute, we have secured footage of his last moments. Let the world remember his sacrifice." 
"Hahahaha, they think you've died!" Sier laughed until there were tears in his eyes. Arthur didn't find it funny but still chuckled at the sight of his friend's laughter. 
The footage then changed. The moment it started rolling, a figure was hurled from inside the smoke and rolled on the ground. It stood up and the camera zoomed on his face. 
It was Arthur's face and Sier was trying to stifle a laugh so desperately that his shoulders were shaking. 
From the crowd jumped three robed people that transformed into giant creatures. Arthur stood up from the ground as he looked at them defyingly. 
The gruesome creatures then multiped as two more came from inside of the barrier. As Arthur was surrounded by the monsters, the Iliosian Paladins and the runes master from Runera came over to save him. 
However, the Enders, known as the eaters of mana, were there to keep them at bay. A few of them started attacking Arthur who dodged with breathtaking speed and agility that he managed to avoid being hurt. 
"Nether creatures, you've chosen the wrong person to target!" Arthur roared as he pulled several runic cards from his robes. "I won't fall in this place, and not at the hands of you lowly beings!"
"Why is he screaming like that?" Arthur was dumbfounded. "I asked him to underdo the acting, what the hell is he…" 
Arthur, or Reece as Arthur, activated the cards as flames surrounded him like a tornado. In their midst stood the young champion, his hair fluttering in the wind.


The power you wield is unimportant, only what you do with it. Arthur was given the power of creation, so what is he going to do? The world is approaching the unknown, and this is his only chance to save it. Then, why is he always the outsider and the enemy? 

Long ago, the gods failed. Arthur needs to make sure that history does not repeat itself. However, it is hard to do so with the knowledge of a dirt-digger.

It was a normal day when they arrived. Maiguh had been walking among his Enders gleaning as much information about his siblings as possible. Quite suddenly a few Enders suddenly seemed to be repulsed by something. So Maiguh walked over and was greatly surprised to fine two tiny black creatures with glowing purple eyes. They resembled the Enders, and so he called them Ender mites. The pair of them were quite sweet and affectionate. Maiguh allowed them to follow him everywhere he went. They stayed so here his heels he nearly stepped on them several times. He nudged them here and there. He was glad for the company.
Sometime later on Maiguh was listening to a complicated account from a man when he heard something far off in the distance. he turned around, far off in the distance stood a small form. Maiguh could barely believe his eyes.
"Is that you my daughter? Come home to me at last." He said quietly, as if he feared it was a trick of sorts.
The form was coming closer, yet did not speak.
Maiguh took off toward it quickly. Then they started running toward him, glorious laughter filling the air.
"It is I father, come home to you at last." Dinetee cried. She flung herself into Maiguh's arms.
"My daughter." He said holding her tightly, "I thought I would never see your face again." 
"I know father." She said, she continued to hold onto him.
Maiguh at last let go and drew her to arms length, "How did this come about."
"The goddess Sonnis found me in a hole. I had fallen I suppose." Dinetee said, "she carried me to the castle..." she told the whole tale to her father. How Rissa had aided them, and what the others were like, she described Epis in great detail. How sad and despondent he looked.
"But now I have come home to you." Dinetee finished, "but my sisters are still imprisoned." She looked more sad now. "Where is Endra, does she still fly here?"
"Indeed, though she cannot see or hear me it seems."
"Perhaps I should try." Dinetee suggested.
Maiguh shook his head, "for now I am happy enough to have you back."
That was when his two little pets come over. Dinetee knelt down to them and stroked their heads. "Such pretty little ones," she said quietly.
"Come with me, I shall take you to the castle." Maiguh said, though something troubled him now. "What became of Sonnis and Rissa."
Dinetee explained that Sonnis was a nymph and was being held as a guest. Dinetee did not seem concerned but Maiguh grew stormy with the news.
"Where is the son of Onicent?" Maiguh asked.
Dinetee said she did not know.
Maiguh considered then told her he would send a small group of Enders to watch the castle, in case something should happen.
Dinetee was confused, but then Maiguh explained what he had been doing. Perhaps something flowered in her eyes then, though it quickly disappeared.
"For now you should stay by my side," Maiguh told her. "Eventually you will have to go to the overworld again, but only when I am sure it is safe for you."
"And my sisters?" Dinetee said.
"For now are trapped." Maiguh replied sadly, "But let us not think of that, I am sure we can free them eventually. For now come with me to the palace."
Dinetee smiled, but inside she was longing for Nevlin and Endra, without them she felt fragmented.

Do you love reading mythology? Is your favourite video game Minecraft? Well you've come to the right place! 

Mythology Minecraft is a series of short related stories telling the tales of the Minecraft goddess's and god's. These stories draw off of real mythology (particularly Greek mythology), but have a Minecraft twist.

Well... Let's start from the
very beginning 
In the beginning, there were only two overpowered elements light and dark. And out from the light came the first GOD, "The God of Light" and out from the dark also came a God "The God of
Darkness". Right after that, the two overpowered elements disappeared, but before they disappeared they transferred all their energy into the two GODS they have created.
The two GODS then went off to create their own worlds. It took them both 4 hundred years to create two worlds. The GOD of Light created "Haven" and "The Over World", while the GOD of
darkness created "The Nether" and "The End". After that they spend another 4 hundred
year creating "Life". The GOD of Light created humans, millions and millions of
humans for The Over World. He created pigs, cows, sheeps, and many other
animals for the humans to eat, trees for the humans to build houses and 
fire for humans to cook, water for humans to drink and iron and a lot of other stuff for
the humans to use. For Haven, the GOD of light created 501 battle Angles and 16
supreme GODS to protect the humans. The 16 supreme GODS are extremely powerful
and in the 5 among them can single-handedly destroy the other eleven GODS. They are the GOD of Metal, Nature, Water, Fire and Earth. Together with the eleven other GODS, they rule over the world that The GOD of Light has created. 
The GOD of darkness created
millions of strong half man half pig undead warriors and huge flying monsters
that can shoot fireballs, creatures with high defense that is powered with
magic and he created 1 king to rule over all Nether, the king was a mix of a
man and a pig, he wore an extremely heavy golden armor and fights with a war
golden war hammer. Then for The End he created one of the strongest armies in
both of  the GODS creations, he created a
being that if it's full-grown it can reach 3 meters in height and it's covered
in black skins that are 30 times tougher that letter and their bones are 5
times stronger than human's, they weight only about 50kg but are strong enough
to lift 8 times his own weight, they must be extremely light because The GOD of
Darkness gave them one more ability, they can run so fast that the human eyes
can't even catch up. But the most terrifying thing is that The GOD of Darkness
created thousands of them, he called them "The Enders". Then he created a king
to rule all Enders, that king he created is basely a weaker version of himself,
that king he crated rides a black dragon that is at least 30times stronger than
an Ender.
The two original GODS gave
their own creations one last gift, and the gift was "The Immortality Stone"
witch gives them immortality and the only way to get ride is to destroy The
Immortality Stone, but the consequence is that half of all life will be
randomly eliminated from existents, not including the two original GODS. After
that, they watched over their creations curies on how their creations will act,
but after thousands of years they have watched they have become bored of what
they are seeing and they both agreed on to fall asleep for 900 million years,
then they will wake up and see what has changed to their creations. It will be
fine if somehow they all die out because they can always create new ones.
100 million years later…
100 million years after the
two original has fallen asleep, the world has changed way faster then the GODS
has expected and both side the Light and Dark has fought hundreds of battles and
they have figured out why they aren't dying. You may think it a good thing that
they aren't dying but it's not, because they aren't dying their population has
overgrown and they NEED much more territory to expand, and they knew what will
happen if they destroy The Immortality Stone and both sides are willing to
sacrifice to expand for the younger generations. Both sides prepared for this
war for 3000 years and the two sides are both ready to show the other side
their true power.
The Humans, Angels and Gods
got to The Immortality Stone first and with the full power of the five supreme
GODS, they are able to shatter The Immortality Stone. A few seconds after the
elimination have started both sides knew what has happened, just 10 seconds
after The Immortality Stone has been destroyed, the dark side has launched an
attack on the light side.
They first connected the two
worlds using portals then they launched an invasion to the overworld, but the
humans are prepared and not even 5 minutes into the battle thousands and
thousands of soldiers from both sides poured into the battlefield. As the
battle goes on the soldiers from both sides were randomly eliminated from
existents as the battle goes on, 7 out of the 16 supreme GODS has been randomly
eliminated from existents including the GOD of Nature and the GOD of Earth. On
the dark side, the pig king has diapered and very unluckily
Almost all the enders have
been eliminated.
The dark side pushed the light side all the way to the edge of the overworld on to a tall mountain that connects the Haven and the Over World. The human soldiers with the help of the
angels flew to Haven. The soldiers from the dark side circled around the
mountain and the flying monsters and blazes are shooting thousands of fireballs at
the humans and angels. The humans fight back with bows, crossbows and the TNT
cannons. About one and a half hour later the elimination has stopped and the
Angles has transferred all the humans to Haven. The battle seems to stop for a
while, the enders have returned in the shadows, the undead warriors and flying
monsters are back to their camp.
3 days later…
Three days after the war ended, it started again this time the light side got the advantage. The angles dived down from the sky and casted explosion magic spells from the sky then. The
human immediately swarmed the undead warriors' camp. The first camp was quickly
destroyed and then they moved on to the next camp. But the dark side instantly
realized what was going on and called the enders for help. They let half of the
enders and one fourth of their soldiers fight the angles and humans, then they
snuck up the defenseless mountain and went straight into haven.
The king of the End killed the 3 GODS that were defending Haven including 2 of the elven weaker GODS and the GOD of meatal, the battle was so intense that the remaining 5 stronger gods felt the power of the battle all the way in the battlefield at camp. They
immediately rushed to help but all they found was the cold
body of the three GODS. The only stronger GODs left were the GOD of fire and the
GOD of water. They sent out help, calling all the remaining GODS and they
immediately arrived. "The Battle of GODS" has started, the battle was between six GODS
on the light side and the king of the end with his black dragon on the dark side.
The GODS fought hard but the Ender king was just too much for them. They fought for
hours and hours, the powers of both sides where so strong that it sent
shockwaves across the universe. The shockwaves in the universe
bounced back and forward, and they were so powerful that they have awakened the two
original GODS. The GODS came back to look at the situation and what caused
it. They looked at the battle feld of the GODS and decided to watch, but their
bodies are so huge that the Ender king was distracted by it for just a moment.
But that was enough, the remaining six GODS focused all their power to one point then they blasted at the Ender king, the blast hit the Ender king's head clean off, and he never moved
again after that.
The dark side lost and the two original GODS were happy, they were happy because they have never seen a fight this intense before. So they erased everything from existence and created a new one then they recreated all the things they have created 100 million years ago
and went back to sleep, but this time they set their sleeping time to 100 million years.

Sometime later the potion wore off. Kaico blinked a few times and looked around herself. Immediately a blush filled her cheeks, what had she been doing the last few hours? She rubbed her forehead with her palm. The Ender was nearby, she remembered that she had given them a name.
"Enderly," she muttered. When she said it the Ender looked up at her. She cleared her throat, "I, er, apologize for that. Whatever that might have been." 
"I suppose I should introduce myself, seeing you saved my life. My name is Kaico." She extended a hand. Enderly wasn't quite sure what to do with it. "Generally when someone extends a hand you grab onto it and shake it." She said she felt slightly awkward at this point. "Like this." She put her hands together and mimed a handshake. "How do you guys greet each other then?"
Enderly tilted their head and then chirped. Which made Kaico smile, "I think I like that better than a handshake."
Finally, she got to her feet and had a look around. The room was small and she could tell they were below the surface, but not terribly far. Definitely, no diamonds here to mine out. Enderly watched as she inspected the room. 
"It's a nice place, I assume this is your home?"
She didn't expect an answer.
Quite suddenly though Enderly pressed close to her. They seemed to urge her into one of the corners. 
Kaico was confused but ducked down in a far nook. That was when they appeared, a few other enders. Kaico ducked down deeper into the nook, and Enderly stood in front of her, looking protective. She wasn't quite sure as to why though. Until the other Enders let off a series of angry cries. Enderly responded in the ender language, which Kaico could not understand, unfortunately. She did get the sense that Enderly was not welcome, the other enders pressed in toward them. Kaico shuddered, she was almost certain that they were unaware of her. She didn't want to find out what they'd do when they spotted her. 
They screeched at Enderly and in response, Enderly let off a stream of their own screeches. Kaico had no choice but to cover her ears, but the sounds reached them anyway. She supposed these were the monsters her family had warned her about. Enderly seemed to become more and more agitated. Peeking out Kaico watched.
Then suddenly Enderly took a step toward the others, and at once they all saw Kaico. Kaico froze, as did they. Then collectively they let off another even angrier set of cries. Kaico pressed as far back as she could but was pinned. 
"Enderly, I think they want us to leave." She told them, though she was sure they knew this. Enderly turned around and reached toward her, suddenly they were enveloped in particles.  
They both arrived in the overworld. Nearby Kaico's home. It was dusk now. Kaico turned around and looked at Enderly.
"They don't like you very much do they?" She asked.
Enderly couldn't respond, but Kaico sensed sadness.
"You're an outsider then, like me." She said softly, then she smiled a bit. "You saved me though. I am grateful for it, I'm not sure why you did though. My parents told us you were monsters. Why?"
Enderly chirped at her, she shook her head, not understanding. 
"You're welcome to stay with me for the night." She told him. That was when she got a better look at her home. She gasped, it had been blown apart. 
Tears prickled at her eyes, but then she realized she still had her book. Still, this had been her home.
"Guess that's why you had to take me to that cave." She told Enderly. "Guess we'll have to sleep somewhere else. 
She began to dig a small hole. She had to go an extra block deep, it was not overly comfy in there. When she was done she popped out and beckoned to Enderly to join her, but they seemed to want to stay outside.
"Have a good night," she told them.
She walked inside, thoughts swirling in her head. She had left home, made a home, saved an Ender, been saved by the same Ender, then lost her home and most of her possessions. It had been quite the time. 
She wasn't sure what to do next. She knew she should be heading farther away from home. Surely her parents now knew she was not coming back. Her brothers would be searching, they'd go to the nearby villages first. 
She would need to cross the ocean. But part of her didn't want too. She had a new, odd, reason to stay. She had made a friend.

~this story takes place in the same world as Entity 0~

Ever since she was a child, Kaico has had dreams, unlike her family who are unimaginative and, even worse, wish to force her to follow in their footsteps and become a miner - the most boring job Kaico could possibly think of.  What does one do when they feel so trapped? Run away and start anew.
