《My Magical System 》Chapter 53: Sleepless...
Advertisement
Morning arrived in the blink of an eye.
But unfortunately, that was not the case to Yeman.
He was not able to fall asleep even for a bit, because his mind has a lot to think of.
The sky that could be seen up high was already bright. But below the cliff, the surrounding still dim.
He was lying down staring to the sky, wondering about the current time. Since he could not predict while in this kind of limited space to view.
"Uhmmmmp..."
He heard the morning habit from someone in good slept. Stretching her whole body in relaxing and comforting while stimulating a morning yawn at the same time.
Yeman gulped.
He knows this was it. Wondering what she might think after she witnessed how her dressing had changed.
The truth was. Yeman failed to fell asleep because of the very reason on how he would going to explain this to her if ever she questioned him.
He closed his eyes as to act that he was still sleeping but the eyebags on his eyes was distinguishable.
Although it was still useless to act this way, at least he could buy a little more time to himself and to think of a better idea or solution.
What if she directly assumed that he took advantage of her? Judging the way she dresses right now, it was easy to misunderstand the situation and point him as the violator.
Regardless, he wishes that she had the memory of what had happened yesterday noon. And if not, he wishes that she believed him at least.
It was a pain in the ass. He should have just went back with her. Then explained what had really happened to the three guys. Maybe it was a better idea than this.
He wondered if what would Leo think about it. Weren't Mina like that guy?

For Yeman, this was one of the most difficult situations he found himself involved in.
After realizing that he could not fall asleep no matter what he did, and it was useless now since it was already morning, he decided to open his eyes and twisted his head towards her— slowly like a robot.
...Then,
"Heh—" he unconsciously let out an utter.
His pulse abruptly raised. He felt nervous and lost for words to say.
She was staring at him while lying in a side view inside the sleeping bag he bought. In her eyes...he could feel that she have many questions.
Yeman's eyes blinked twice. Scanning for words inside his mind. Unfortunately, he failed. He failed to find words.
Mina could only vaguely remember a thing. She doesn't have any idea of why she was sleeping in this place.
But seeing him sleeping about 7 - 8 meters away to her left, she ended up staring at his sleeping face.
Even though she noticed him slowly twisting his head to her direction, she continued staring at him.
When their eyes met, Mina was flustered and feel a heat rushing to her face. But, she needed to say something.
First, "G-Good morning," she greeted him.
He heard her greeted him. But for Yeman, It was literally good and bad at the same time.
Regardless, he needed to act cool to avoid being suspicious.
"...Mhm, good morning too..." (good job!) he thought after he replied.
Then, Mina asked him if where they were at the moment...and what happened yesterday.
|Is she mad? Or what?| He questioned himself.
|Anyway, what she meant by her question of what happened?|
"Uhm, n-nothing happened," he replied again with furrowed brows.
"I-I mean, w-why we ended up sleeping in here? And what time is now?" she followed question after question.

He sighed. Regardless, he had to tell her the truth.
Yeman explained to her what had happened and how she lost control of herself. But he kept the part where she jumped on him and almost did something unusual.
Mina slowly glances at her clothes.
Her face instantly turned red after realizing that she was wearing new clothes and that her old one had been torn by her! She stared at him with a face that wanted to question.
Of course, Yeman understood what kind of question her staring had. She wanted to ask him if he saw it.
With a face that wanted to scream and cry, Mina's corner of the eye has formed beads of tears.
"This is it!" He uttered.
Though she wanted to cry for the embarrassment, seeing his flustered face made her felt happy for some reason. Not just that, he stayed with her overnight without taking advantage.
At this thought, Mina secretly smiled while unconsciously hugging the new shirt she was wearing.
She doesn't know how he got this shirt, but she had already witnessed more things about him which no one knows yet, except for the two of them.
A warm smile was written on her face as she silently followed his back. They were walking towards the camp.
Of course, Mina was doubtful of him, of all the unnatural things he did. Like for example, taming that beast? Or killing them in a far and from a higher place.
She doesn't know how powerful he was at the moment. But she was happy for him. She doesn't know why, but she just felt it for an unknown reason.
She also was happy for herself. Because she was able to achieve another breakthrough!
Right now, her rank was Bronze-Grade II Assassin. And she also was able to learn another skill.
She could feel became stronger. Even her hearing had improved. Her eyesight became clearer and could see much farther. Her perception, strength, speed...and all other aspects of her had improved. Though the pay of it was her bosom being slightly seen by this guy in front of her.
But she let him for now. Because she could feel from his eyebags that he did not manage to sleep.
After arriving at the camp, the three older guys were stunned seeing the two.
They were doubtful of what had happened to these youngsters. In their minds... 'did they really do that thing?'
Their thinking was too obvious that it was showing on their faces.
Yeman scratches his face while showing a troubled smile.
Mina's face, on the other hand, had turned as red as tomatoes while shouting "You are mistaken! We ddddd-did nothing!!!!!!"
Yeman yawn...
|I'm sleepy| Good thing that he chooses to buy the shirt that doesn't look too different from the dress of people wearing in this world.
Days had steadily passed...

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.

The Foretold: Sun Child (Complete)
As a sixteen year old commoner, your future is bleak. Worse, your appearance sets you apart from others. Your only achievement so far, is befriending the second son of the Lord of the Keep. He has been your only friend for eleven years, initially partner in mischief and later your hunting companion and confidant. Now your friendship is being torn asunder, he has turned eighteen and is being sent away to become a Judge Knight Aspirant. What is to become of you? Before your friend leaves, there is murder and conspiracy! Magic left the land hundreds of years ago, all you have is your bow and hunting skills, nevertheless you must fight to survive and save another to have any hope of a future! Note: The graphic isn't mine; it is a re-imagining of a few separate images, any objections by original artists let me know. N.B. If you are looking for Sexual Content every chapter, or every second, third or fourth chapter this isn't the story for you - the Sexual Content is required for a plot device, not a way of life and the later chapters reflect that - please stop dropping Low Ratings when you feel I haven't met your idea of "fan service". This is finished as much as a multi book vision can be finished. At 750,000 words give or take and very little readership I can only blame myself. I have learnt a lot, possibly forgotten a lot as well! I will probably return to the Chapters at some point - a touch up here and a touch up there. The second book though will probably remain in my head for a very long time, so yes "cliffs" although I hope the characters and their motivations are developed enough that you can have a good guess at the content of Book Two and tell me so I can confirm or deny! This isn't a LITRPG where classes are developed, great foes are defeated by a hero of immense power. This is a story based within (I hope) a very real and consistent culture, that leaves breadcrumbs for the reader to work out what the heck is happening and why. This is a slow burn story as the MC is stumbling around discovering her new place and role. Author's Note (Apr 2021): I dropped the Fantasy Genre for the Mystery Genre, because while the setting mentions magic, is it about past glories and trying to return to them. Whereas the MC from Chapter One doesn't understand her predicament and the range of mysteries she must solve to survive. If I have this wrong PM me and I will change this back.
