It was five in the morning when Zero was woken up by a stranger. In the dark, it was hard to tell who it was but Zero didn’t mind since Mii didn’t alert him of immediate danger. He let the lady lead him to the well to get freshened up. As he became more awake, Zero noticed how he couldn’t sense her presence at all. Perhaps the lady was one of those without life essences? She was beautiful in an ethereal way, more so than Zero remembered. Moona didn’t look alive and Zero wondered how that could…-

"Alright, Zero. Let’s have a chat, shall we?" Hua Tuo eyed the brunet who appeared nervous. Still, he did not refuse the physician. Hua Tuo didn’t know if Zero knew the impact of what he’d done. Making friends with the Demon King was something unheard of. Demons were known as creatures who did not understand the meaning of love or loyalty. Demon King Baal was one of the seven who ruled the abyss. His reputation would make anyone quake in fear. Yet Zero had gone and made friends with a creature born…

Demon King Baal waited. Eleven very powerful individuals with one more on the way stood before him with terrifying battle auras. Baal refused to fight. He wasn’t getting paid enough to do this. Besides, the illusion Zero was talking about was nowhere in sight. That wouldn’t do. He loved the young child’s stories so he needed to break the illusion fast. Baal lazily glanced over the tiny army before him. "Two undead, one summoner, one archer, a half-blood demon, Lilith’s descendant, an archer,…

Zombies are strangely cheerful beings. Zero didn’t know if it applied for all zombies but Manny and Peter were very cheerful. On the other hand, their summoner looked very solemn. Soon was a short man who appeared human but really wasn’t one. Zero got a shock when he met the man for the first time because the aura emitted from Soon was very cold. Zero actually shivered when he entered the apartment. "I didn’t think we would be expecting guests, please forgive the sudden attack earlier. I sensed an…

"Seconds please!" Zero didn’t know if he should look amused or disgusted by Leon’s dining manners. The werecat hybrid ate with gusto but lacked the elegance Rima had. He ate more with his hands than with the spoon and shovelled way too much food into his mouth, causing bits of it to fall on the table. Zero toyed with the idea of texting Freya and have Leon go through the dining etiquette class he experienced. It might do Leon some good to behave more civilised so that he wouldn’t be receiving…

Zero knew that the trees were tall. He just didn’t know how tall or huge they were until Clowis showed him. The warrior jumped from branch to branch with Zero behind him and they didn’t seem to get any closer to the top. Yet, the ground became further and further away until all that is left was a bed of leaves. "Are you sure this is a shortcut?" Clowis didn’t slow down. "Vertically up is still the fastest way to get to the Sky Bridge. If it weren’t for the rocky hill earlier, we might have…

The special housing wasn’t very special looking in Zero’s opinion. However, he understood why it was necessary. There were only three cosy huts in the special housing zone. They were located on a small hill beside the farm and quite hidden from view with the tall river grass in front of it. Behind the special houses was a steep and rocky cliff where the feast cave was. The special housing was in a very protected area and built strategically with the topography of the forest in mind. Whoever designed it…

"And that’s two hundred!" Zero announced happily. Hua Tuo let him sleep in today so Zero wasn’t cranky in the morning. Zero’s first task as a doctor’s apprentice was to prepare pills for the villagers who were still mostly sleeping. According to Hua Tuo, many of them would be suffering from something called hangover - a side effect of drinking too much alcohol. Zero nodded and followed the instructions carefully. They made two hundred pills to hand out to anyone who might need them later.…

By the time Hua Tuo arrive with Clowis, Zero was looking rather green. Zenobia had a wide grin on her face and Hua Tuo pitied Zero. He didn’t have to eat what Zenobia was serving him and could’ve absorbed it to save the suffering but Hua Tuo didn’t have the heart to make the boy feel any worse by telling him so. After all, many have been victims of Zenobia’s ’bridal culinary training’ products. Despite her tough appearance and personality, the lady was a romantic at heart who wanted to be…

A few days after the near self-destruction scare, Zero was skipping along the path excitedly. Hua Tuo told him that they would be arriving at the village by afternoon and Zero simply couldn’t wait! He’d pestered Hua Tuo to tell him stories about the villagers during their breaks. From what he heard, the village was a very small one with about forty people living in it. Unlike other villages, this village had no name as it was formed by outcasts. However, Hua Tuo gave it a name after he decided to…
