Moon Yul is a famous K-Pop solo idol that people have come to love.

Fans love him because he’s talented, kind, respectful and lovable. Everyone who has had the chance to talk to him, falls for his charms.

But there’s one thing people don’t know and can’t know about Yul.

He is a She.

Just letting you know now, the idea came from watching AKB48’s Mendol Ikemen, but the story will not be like the J-Drama. I hope you like it. Pleeeeeeease enjoy

The Shadow is what this story is about and this is a short story covering a serious topic.

Tattered curtains, joy rides, death himself? 
6 short chapters on what could happen to you!
I mean it. 6 short chapters.

Since Viertel had been in the hospital for a week already they have all gotten ready for the annual acquaintance that happens another week til then Viertel caught up to his missed classes and works in 4 days. After he was done he was finally able to hang out with his friends and he had noticed Laura had new clothes and such, Viertel complimented her and sat down in their dining room, they noticed Viertel had only 2 pairs of upper clothing a tattered hoodie and a tattered black t-shirt he also had 1 pair of pants, Alice and Janna looked at him and simply said, this won't do, and they whispered their plan to the others and they all agreed, Janna took everyone's attention by clapping, and said "Since Laura has already had a make over, I guess it's Viertel's turn" he was embarrased and said "No come on you all did so much for me already I can't possibly take anymore from you." They all decided to drag him to the best clothing store in Rath City, which was weirdly named The Ice Manor, Viertel wondered, this was a brand on the other side too, and don't Janna and Alice's mom own this company? Seeing the price Viertel wide eyed at the 1,200 gold price tag he was just in complete shock, this was already 200 gold more than their weekly allowance taking into account the price for food or ingredients someone would have to not eat for a week to get close to the price not only that it was just a simple black t-shirt. Alice laughed at Viertel seeing the confused look on his face it was quite vexing, she shrugged it and said "As you know our parents own this business and, we're free to get anything we want here, it is just a cover up for the Ice Manor's true purpose though, protecting and regulating the Ice users." Zina slyly added to her statements "Also they are both very spoiled." Janna unimpressed with the snarky replies picks a fight with her. Alice somehow managed to talk them out of it, they then picked out some clothes for Viertel they bought him a suit which they didn't see him wear, a semi formal attire which they didn't see him wear either, they then agreed to make him pick out his own clothes just for casual wear, and noticed his hair was nearing shoulder length so they had his hair cut too, they stayed in the waiting room after about an hour he came out dressed in a black hoodie with some red highlights, fit jeans and red low cut sneakers,his black hair was now shorter but styled to be messy looking and the white strand was given more emphasis with this style, he took off his glasses showing his grey eyes, and smiled awkwardly, Zina just grew more attracted to him Janna's jaw had practically dropped to the floor Alice smiled back and said that he looked great, Oliver teased and said, you might out-handsome Max at this point, while everyone laughed, Alice then added "Oh by the way, those clothes are resistant to your powers, so test it out" Viertel wreathed his hand in the black and red flames, and his eyes turned red. 

Have you ever thought it would be weird if everything, from just about any mythos you can think of is real, this is exactly the world this is set in, a 17 year old kid who turns out to be able to harness the power of celestial being, finds out he is not the only one able to do that, in fact an entire community is built upon nurturing the said powers, hidden from the public.

I was able to catch nine wild rats. According to the adventurer, a large number of snakes were rampaging. Perhaps that is why the hiding wild rats have moved in large numbers. Nine wild rats from thirty traps are much more than I expected. It's a happy miscalculation.

 

And for some reason, there's a snake in one of the wild rat traps. The moment I saw it, I fled with haste, but I want to sell it and change it to money. So I went to the dump and found a torn but sturdy bag. The broken part can be sewn and repaired with a string. I then cover the trap with the bag and slowly push it in. When it was inside, the snake then broke free from the trap so I hurriedly tied the bag's entrance with a string. The sounds of the snake moving around inside the bag frighten me. I was using a basket before, so it made me felt a little safe….. let's sell it quickly! The wild rats can wait for later, and with a quick pace, I head to the village pharmacy.

 

In the village, adventurers happily drinking together and boasting about the day before. It seems that they'll go hunting again this evening, so let's hurry up. I feel sorry for Sora, but it's likely that he will spend another day in her bag.

 

"Excuse me"

 

"Nn? Oh, so it's you1"

 

"Is it okay for me to sell the snake again?"

 

"It's okay. The snake that was killed was weak and could not be used. After the subjugation, the number of snakes has decreased and it is difficult to get my hands on a good snake, so I want to obtain one"

 

The bag then moved because of the snake rampaging inside. It is really scary. Bring the bag that was slightly away from my body to the store owner. The store owner laughs a little seeing my appearance. Even if you laugh at scary things it will still be scary, it can't be helped.2

 

"It's in good condition today as well"

 

Looking into the bag, the store owner nod once.

 

"You are really good at hunting"

 

"Eh! That's not true"

 

"Is that so? Snakes brought by other adventurers are often quite tattered. That would make a fine medicine.3 But what you brought is still lively and that will become an excellent medicine. For me, it's a happy outcome"

 

"Thank you"

 

I'm glad it could be of use.

 

"It's 2 Gidal"

 

"Thank you"

 

I leave the store after receiving the money. My face became loose. It's a happy outcome…..is it only flattery?4 But I'm happy.

 

With a light step, I head to the place where I collected the wild rats. Take Sora out of the bag, and hand him today's portion of potions. It took a long time to dismantle all nine because of it's number, but I was able to finish it before the sun went down. I heard that there will be subjugation this evening, so I should head back to the village soon. When I look at sora…. he is sleeping, he really is at his own pace. I put sora in the bag then head to the village.

 

As if swapping with me, the adventurers are entering the forest. Apparently I was in time. After seeing the adventurer, I head to the butcher…..Is the store owner there?

 

"Excuse me"

 

I open the door and peeked inside.

 

"Oh! Is that you lad5, what's wrong?"

 

It's the store owner, I'm glad!

 

"I want to sell some wild rats, is it okay?"

 

"It's more like that'll help me a lot rather than it's okay, nowadays everyone but the lad only bring snakes."

 

I then give the owner nine meat wrapped in bana leaves.

 

"It's a great amount again. Iyaaa~ lad is really amazing"

 

"Thank you"

 

"The condition of the meat is also good! So it's 1080 Dal in total. Since the snakes' subjugations started, it's becoming hard for me to obtain meat, and that makes the price rising"

 

"Yes. Well then, please"

 

"I've been short of meat since the serpent began to increase. Both the selling price and the buying price kept rising.  If the price of the dried meat goes up, the adventurers will complain immediately. I am grateful to the lad for bringing me meat, thank you"

 

After receiving the money, I head to the square open for adventurers.....Ah, I forgot to buy dried meat for the journey. Could it be that I'm become absentminded because of all the gratitude? But, I'm happy.



I got the weakest skill Tamer from God.

Because my life is in danger, I decided to leave the village and go on a journey!

While on a journey I discover a monster that can be tamed!

It’s just a weak slime, that can die with only a poke.

Various things are scattered on the ground along the way.

When I picked it up, it became something amazing.

I’ll turn my life around and find a place to live peacefully!

At the Outer Gate of Westia...



"What do you think about the explosions deep in the Westia Forest?" Guard 1 said.


"I say they should be Peak Master Rank beast base on the huge explosions that it even reach here." another guard said.


"Yeah, that's also most of the powerful clans thought too and now some of their experts are on their way to investigate" guard 1 said.



While they were chatting a man who is bare chest with a tattered pants was slowly walking towards the gates.


"HALT, identify yourself" guard 1 said blocking the man's path.



"Identification? Uhh, oh will this do?" the man said while taking something from his tattered pants.



Receiving what seemed to be a Mercenary ID the guard check the contents.

Name: Nezu
Age: 18
Sex: Male
Mercenary Rank: [White Rank I]
Mercenary Points: 500


Seeing the massive points the guard was astounded, he didn't see anyone with this much points from a [White Rank I].




"So will that works?" the man who was identified by the guard as Nezu said.




"Uhh ye.s, sorry for blocking your path sir we are under strict orders to tighten the inspection towards people who are entering Westia because of the phenomenon happened in Westia Forest." the guard quickly apologize and explained the current situation in Westia not wanting to offend a young man with great potential.




"Oh okay thanks for the information, can I enter now?" Nezu didn't care if those shitheads sell him out of what happened in the forest with his current strength he can just escapes easily.




"Yes sir please" said the guard respectfully.




Nezu didn't directly went to the Mercenary Guild, stopping next to what seem a store selling clothes.



"Good Morning sir what can I help you with? a young girl with shoulder length black hair said with a youthful smile.



"Hmm I'll just check if there is something I need" Nezu then leisurely walk around the store while the young woman followed behind him.


After a few minutes of wandering around, Nezu's attention was caught by a black robe like clothes with shoulder length sleeve. Taking it Nezu nodded with satisfaction and ask the young woman behind him if there's a changing room.


After a few minutes in the changing room Nezu was now wearing the black robe like clothes(Just like in the cover I'm not really good at giving details about clothes). 


Asking for the price Nezu quickly pay for it then unhurriedly walk out from the store.




Nezu then head towards a nearby inn to fill his stomach and to find a room for the night.



When Nezu quietly eating he heard a discussion that made him slightly interested.




"Do you know that deep inside the Westia Forest an Epic battle was held?" a man in his mid 30s said to one of his comrade.



"Oh? where did you get that information from?" a fat middle age man ask.


"What? didn't you know that some powerful clan experts and mercenaries investigate the huge explosions that happened deep inside the forest." the man in his mid 30s said while mocking his comrade for living beneath a rock.



"So what is it?" the fat middle age man didn't seem to be bothered about the man in his 30s and just ask the important question. 



"You won't believe it if you didn't see it yourself." the man in his 30s said with a mysterious smile.


"Sigh, can you just tell it and stop doing that thing it's kinda creepy you know?" the fat middle age man return the mockery.



"Ok, ok, what they saw is a barren land with multiple craters everywhere and a very wide and deep cut reaching a 100ft in length." the man in his 30s said.



"Wha... What kind of monster can make that huge destruction?"




Nezu didn't listen anymore as he was already done eating, standing up Nezu slowly walk out of the inn. 'So they already found it, it'll only take a few more days for them to know that I was the one who made that much Destruction if those shitheads sells me out.' thinking about those shitheads,  Nezu just sigh, 'I'll just face it when I get there, now let's head towards the Mercenary Guild I've already accumulate too much points for the lvl up I only need to do my mission.'




Seeing the always awe-inspiring building, Nezu unhurriedly walk inside with a carefree smile.



While Nezu doing his stuff, in a place where a huge barren land and craters everywhere with a wide and deep cut that reaches 100ft in length.


"So who do you think did this?" an old man with White hair and beard ask a middle age man with silvery white hair.



"This destruction wasn't from a beasts fight" said the middle age man with a stern expression.




"Hmm that's what I thought too, feeling the darkness energy linger towards the sorrounding I can surely say a demon was here." when the old said about the demon his expression became more sharp with a tinge of killing intent appeared in his eyes but also quickly disappear.



The middle age man didn't reply but his expression became more dignified.




"I also felt this strange energy which is much more stronger than the darkness energy." the old man continue talk while saying his new discovery.





"Hmm it's much more...Destructive than any known Element." the middle age man with silvery white hair add.



The old man agreed with the middle age man. In other places of this barren land same talk was currently happening.


One thing they did know was that those who fought here were....Master Rank Elementalist. Only few Master Rank was within Westia specially in powerful clans at most they have 5 Master Rank Elementalist.


But one of this group knows much more than the other group. It was the Pyre Clan. Luke who leave early from Westia Forest quickly report this to his father, he was not only prideful and arrogant he was also petty, he will get revenge on simple offence and grievances. 'Lets see where will you hide you bastard' Luke thought with a sinister grin.


"Are you sure what you said is true?" a middle age man with fiery red hair said with a stern expression.


"Trust me Dad I even see his face closely." Luke said while gritting his teeth while thinking about Nezu when he pressured him until he was on his knees. Just thinking about it again filled Luke's heart with rage and killing intent.


"Hmm you also said that there are also other people who knew about this?" Luke's father, Maximillian Pyre continue to ask.



"Yes, Hera from silver clan, Teressa of Freed Clan and Sid Brass just a trash no need to worry about, except for those two women." Luke said.



"Hmm well we can't do anything about it now, we just need to act fast and be the first one to find that person" Maximillian then walked away from the already barren forest. Luke too follow his father thinking what to do when they found that bastard.




While other power clans and mercenaries was solving this issue while the other was already on the move. Nezu was now slowly walking towards the counter with the same clerk who he saw from the first time he entered this establishment.

Nezu 18 years old and would have complete his training with his master when he suddenly got summon to a world where he need to defeat a freaking Demon King. Equip with a Sword that cut everything to pieces and the element that destroys everything. 

Follow Nezu journey to kill the Demon King and continue to dominate in otherworlds.


This will be my first novel and just want to feel the pain of writing a novel.

Sorry for grammatical errors because English is not my mama tongue -_-.

Publishing of chapters, well I'll try my best.



I don't own the cover, if you're the owner just write some comments or review and I'll immidiately change it.

It was around noon when Scarlett and I departed from her house right after changing. Right now, we were walking along a rather narrow path, one which was oddly made out of cobble rather than dirt. But it was probably done so that she wouldn't need to clear up the grass that had regrown on the path every once in a while.

"Well, how is it? Are you getting used to your new equipment?"

Scarlett asked me, as a means of passing time rather than as an actual question.

"It's alright all-around. Definitely much heavier than I anticipated, but not to the point where it's unbearable."

I replied, while fiddling around with my clothings. And I must say, she had put in quite a lot of effort in fixing up and revamping my tattered garb. In fact, I wouldn't even have believed that this new set of clothing had initially derived from my clothes, if I could even call it that.

Firstly, my old tattered garb was reworked into a black one-piece dress, with frills around the end of the sleeves and a black ribbon at the front of the collar. All of which was then held together tightly with a thin belt that had hosters and small pouches for storing things in. In addition, I was also wearing a grey undershirt and tights underneath the dress. A pair of black thigh highs and boots were also provided for me.

Although despite thorough investigation, I still wasn't able to find out why this dress was so heavy. Was this really how regular dresses weigh in this world?

"Okay, don't worry too much about the weight. I've modified it to be slightly heavier than the average dress, but trust me when I say that it was a necessary sacrifice in order to produce it. Either ways, you should be able to get used to it after our walk."

Oh, so it wasn't because I was weak. Just that it was slightly heavier that the average dress. But what changes were necessary that required it to induce an extra kilo or so to the weight of it anyways?

"By the way, do you have any knowledge of magecraft, or magic as a whole?"

"What?"

"You know, Elemental Affinity, Anti-Divinity, does any of those ring a bell?"

Unfortunately, none of those made a single sense for me, and I could only wonder what those term could possible mean. Who knows? Maybe if I search hard enough, something as ridiculous as time manipulation could be an actual thing in this world.

"...I'll take it that you have no idea what I'm saying right now."

"Yup! Not a single clue!"

My gleeful response was then met with a tired sigh. I should probably stop with the scarcastic responses as I don't think Scarlett would be able to handle much more of it.

"I suppose i'll start from the very beginning then."

Scarlett then proceeded to give quite possibly the longest lecture I will possibly ever experience. For now that is, unless there is something else in this world that is far more expansive and complex than what Scarlett is talking about. But at least it was long enough to cover the remaining ground to our destination.

"In this world, there exist a unique thing refered to as 'Magical Particles' , or 'M.P' for short. It is basically a result of extensive work that is put into either creating mantaining a soul. As the leftover excess energy can't be stored or reused after production, it is then broken down and discharged as M.P. As a result, every living being, or every entity that has a soul, will almost always have M.P on them as well. The few exceptions being Gods or Deities, where they are unable to store M.P due to not having a vessel to store within, and instead use the surrounding M.P in order to use spells and such."

"M.P in general, is used mostly in spells and rituals. But there are some cases where M.P can be used to induce sudden changes in a person's physical and mental state, and can also be used to amplify certain effects of herbs, and other plants as well. Speaking of which, M.P form the building blocks of anything magic related, which can be supplied by either from the surroundings, or from a person's M.P supply. An individual's M.P supply is determined by a few factors, but the two most prominent ones are the individual's age, and their overall skill with using M.P."

"Wow. Seems like a lot to take in. And I don't think I'll remember even half of it within the next hour or so."

"Oh don't worry too much about it. Basically the whole gist of it is that M.P is pretty much magic. If you know how to utilise it and have the skills to do it, then it can be a lifesaver. If not, then you're better off not touching magecraft or anything magic related ever again in your life."

Sounds like this M.P thing is pretty bias on who gets to use it. Which could probably mean that I won't be using it very often throughout my journey. If I could even use it in the first place.

"But anyways, we're here."

Scarlett and I reached to what seemed like an abandoned mineshaft, with a warning sign planted at the side of the entrance.

"Are you sure that this is where we're supposed to go?"

"Yes. Although it may not look the part, this is actually an alternative, or secret, pathway to a nearby town that would've originally taken us twice as long, and three times in terms of cost."

"Is that so..."

What kind of town would have a secret passage built from an abandoned mineshaft that could collapse at any point? At least try to renovate the place to look more attractive if you're going to use it as an alternative pathway.

After internally complaining about the supposed town's poor taste in secret passages, I reluctantly proceeded to the extrance of the mineshaft, only to realise that Scarlett wasn't tagging along for some reason.

"Scarlett, you're not coming along?"

I then turned my head around to face her, only to find out...

"Scarlett?"

...that she wasn't there any longer. Instinctively, I rushed out to check where exactly she may have gone to, but to no avail. She had completely disappeared from my sight. But why though? Why go through all the trouble of extending your hospitality to your guest, only to then abandoned said guest once she was at the front gate? Was she really that reluctant in helping me to the fullest? What did I even do wrong to deserve such treatment anyways?

But I suppose I'll put that matter aside first. Feeling a sense of lonliness, I then turned back towards the mineshaft, and travelled deep within it, while thinking about why Scarlett would abandoned me in such a manner?

"Sometimes, certain things are best left undiscovered. However, if you still wish to continue then go right ahead. Just make sure history doesn't repeat itself a second time."

Having been reawakened from her vegetative state spanning for eons, our little maiden in black has had every bit of her memory wiped out. Not only is any knowledge about the world she's in is completely absent, but memories of her very own identity was also lost. The only thing that remained in her was a desire. A desire that she couldn't exactly explain.

And it seems that the world isn't exactly happy about her return as well. Any and every person that she has met had always held some sort of resentment or hatred towards her. To make things worse, every attempt she has made to help or gain the trust of people has always resulted in bitterness or discontentment.

Can she regain her memories to get a better understanding of her situation? Will she be able to fulfill her indescribable desire in the end? Or will she fail and continue on with this vicious cycle?


(If you have any suggestions or questions, leaving a review down would be much appreciated.)

P.S My schedule for now is around one chapter every two days, but I'll try to pump out more whenever possible. Also, since exams are coming up, I may be prone to releasing chapters 1 or 2 days late. I apologise for the inconvenience caused.

"Karen what's my RP at?" said Tony
Karen: [Your sitting at approximately 5,125,140RP]
"Thank you", I say as I make my way towards where the survivors are.
At the rate I'm going it'll take about a half hour in the meantime I have to do something about my attire it's too clean and new. opening of the shop menu mid stride as I browse dark colored clothing and equipment that might work...
[Shop] :

[Assassin's Tattered cloak](blue):
Defense:150
Abilities: makes user more inconspicuous and harder to track with vision
Price:100,000

I buy this hooded cloak that has holes in it everywhere but still somehow doesn't reveal what's inside and switch to a darker set of basic clothing I already own and donned the cloak then continue to make my way towards the Survivors Settlement. I'm about 5mins away when I here gunshots a good distance to my left the echo of which means it more than likely originated from outside. Making my mind up I decided to check wassup and maybe help.....if I can get a pass inside(assuming they are from the place I'm heading to) I wont have to deal with guards too much if I have someone to vouch for me.
The gunshots are getting more louder the closer I get and the firing is getting faster like the shooter is getting nervous afraid. They are coming from the alleyway coming up on my left and as I'm bout to get to it 5 forms coming rushing out shooting towards their backs. But before I can get a word in I duck dodging a swing from a sword that I trace the length back to a pair of dainty hands that belong to a beauty who is now staring at me as I stare back at her....and I say
"Nice Swing", she looks at me in silence before the rest if her group rush pass with a trail of 20-30 zombies. She beckons me to follow but I just shake my head and turn to face the zombies. First I just stop the time for everyone in the area....then continue to decapitate every zombie and crouch on the other side of the trail and then I resume time.
As the Zombies fall I stand up and turn around to look at the beauty stare at me wide eyed along with the two people shooting backwards for cover fire. The two in front stop to look back wondering why they stopped shooting only to also be surprised at the dropped bodies. I store my sword also surprising them(I guess they dont have storage items or they are rare) and open my mouth to say...
"Got room for one more in your party"
all I got in return were blank stares....I now think it would have been easier to just deal with the guards.

What if the world you lived in wasn't real.

You may ask "what would that make me"
It is not to say the people are fake just that they are led to believe the world they live in is real and they are almost correct.

It's just the world we live in only has the smallest amount of reality. Meaning there are worlds with higher amounts of reality.

This is the Story of a boy who dies in a most ridiculous way that he sees through the world's reality by the sheer disbelief in the way he dies.

He is then granted access to a higher reality and rewarded for being the first person to REALIZE.

MC's powers are based on Reality and include:

the ability to change it(based on level of mc)
this includes things like time or space or anything based in reality.
so basically if it exists it can be effected by MC

the ability to see through it(MC can see through any illusion or unreal thing and can identify anything that is real through sight)

the ability to break all things based on realism AKA destroy logic(this is intended to be a ultimate move, it can basically destroy any existence or modify the existing reality like changing the sky's color or creating something out of nothing or adding abilities. this ability will have heavy restrictions like cost or cooldown.

All other skills will be based off or retrieved from above skills
