"Miss Dunebard." Someone pulls my sleeve. I cover my head with the book. It's noisy. "Miss Dunebard!" Who is this Dune Bard? Can't that person get up already? I want to get some sleep. "KRESI DUNEBARD!!!" I stand up with a jolt. Teacher Hohan is glaring at me with anger. I hear Kyo sigh beside me. He has been pulling my sleeve to wake me up. "WHAT.IS.THE.NAME.OF.THIS.RUNE?" He points at a rune with his iron stick. The rune looks like two twisted snakes. "It's Zeh." I yawn lazily. Did you wake me…-

"What is your decision?" So, this woman is asking me if she can adopt me as her daughter. She wants to have a magic user in her family to raise her status. She is the fifth wife of the general who steals resources from the mountains near the beggar cities. The general had spent a lot of fortune to a sorcerer from the higher realm to create a gate from that cave to her place. Though she is the richest woman of the capital, her status is weak. The general has six wives and nine mistresses. She has no hope.…

The Renasir is ghastly pale, almost like a ghost. Her dark hair is loosely tied into a golden hairpin. Her maroon cloak flutters with the wind as she watches the city drowned in the fire with her lonely eyes. The Renasir of Iravan is dying. Only she knows this. "Have you found them?" "My lady." The man in silver armor and mask bends on his one knee. "We couldn't." They have received the news only after the day of the union. The high queen of Aredes is dead. The true wielder of the holy fire has…

"Kresi, you are alive." When we come to the forest, the first person that greets me from the group of the survivor is actually a girl in her late teen. She has a long face and a small mouth. Her hair is unruly and dark. Her eyes are beady, grey, and cute. She has a strong scent of flowers on her. Her dress is torn in some places. Anyway, I have never seen her before. "I didn't expect to see you." The girl raises her hand to touch my head. A white pale hand slaps her hand away. Both of us look at Kyo…

My happiness does not last long. There is a loud noise outside. The building starts to shake dangerously. Earthquake? I grab Kyo's hand and run upstairs. This building is about collapse. We barely make it out in time. Close! Fire. The houses are fire. People are screaming and running in all directions. Soldiers are killing anyone on sight. I hide behind a broken wall with Kyo. Mogrok sits in my lap and peeks out. "Master, where did you bring us?" "It's called Beggar City." I look at the soldiers in…

How do we get out of this place? We stand at the main door. I have passed through the corridor and didn't free any other creature. Mogrok and I are probably soulmates because we both want an easy life. I can't tell the same about the other creatures here. Now, I have an amnesiac God in the kid's body. "Kid, do you know how to open the gate?" He shakes his head when he hears my question. Looks like we are both idiots. I look up at Mogrok. "You have to use the universal key and think of the place where…

It's the last door. "So, he is here." I am a bit surprised that I am not tired of walking. In front of me, there is a door with complicated shining runes strung together as a layer on the door. "These runes only appear on the day of the union." I hear Mogrok say. "Before they disappear, you have to break them." The monster has introduced himself properly. His name is Mogrok which means 'Black Charm' in the language of the forgotten. When he was barely a toddler, he lost his family in the war. He grew…

I have been walking and walking and walking....non-stop. I am surprised more by my stamina than this never-ending corridor. There are doors on both sides with locks. Each keyhole is shaped differently. There are glowing runes painted on each door. It's not as scary as I thought it to be. Still, those kids shouldn't have done that to me. Is the original owner some kind of pushy girl? They have been relying on her a lot. Then, they decide to push her inside like she is the answer to everything. After I…

Raye and Quinn close their eyes and chants in low voice. I am standing in the middle, feeling awkward and uneasy. They aren't going to sacrifice me, are they? It's been only a day since I have been reborn in this body. I am getting sacrificed to the dark lord. How are they going to kill me? I should run. Screw thirteenth or fourteenth god! I have a bad feeling about this. The original owner died because of magical fire. These two boys want revenge for the kids who were killed by some woman. I am not cut…

We enter a rundown building. Raye slowly pushes the door and waits. He closes his eyes and listens to the noise. After a minute, he opens his eyes and walks into the building. I hesitate before following him in. Tomorrow, I am definitely running away from this city. He closes the door behind me. It's dark, but I can see. This abandoned building is the house of rodents and weeds. We go downstairs. The stairs can barely hold our weight. At the basement, I see three kids sitting against the wall. They become…
