《Joe in medieval fantasy world》V1 – Chapter 9: First Love

A familiar window appears in front of me.
You are the first mortal granted access to World’s System.
You are granted access to the World’s System
ADMINISTRATOR LEVEL 1
Warning: Do not abuse your access or you will be punished accordingly.
Yes, I have access to this World’s System with this I can easily do my mission. So this World’ System uses role based access control that limits the authorize users from modifying the system or accessing private or classified files just like in my old world. Wow.
Don’t worry I will not abuse nor hack the system as I know the consequences if I do that and I can’t hack it in the first place cause its created by a perfect being so it’s a perfect secure system, 101% hacker proof.
“So I assume you can do your mission with ease?”
Joel: “Haha…I don’t think my mission is that easy but this one helps me a lot. Thank you”
“Thank you also for your cooperation. I think I need to go now and”
Joel: “and?”
“Be careful when you go out”
Joel: “Okay..see you around?..i think”
As usual, Genesi, the angel is wrap by white light and disappear on the spot. Well, time to find some good and trusted people to start my mission and I don’t want to end this world yet. I walk towards the exit finding the weredemon sleeping with teary eyes. It seems he was exhausted by his hallucination. I feel bad for him but that’s the price he pays for his actions and I need him alive for my future schemes, I mean future plans. I use the back door of the dungeon and finally breathe the fresh air.
As I thought that, my [Air Sense] detects a life approaching my position and saw a very beautiful maiden walking towards me. I was mesmerize by her beauty, she’s like an angel, golden eyes, long black hair, light brown skin, she is more or less the same height as me and she wears a white dress revealing her sexy body and a good amount of a pair of hills in her chest and wings, a Latina beauty (‘Whistle’). Wait why there are wings from her left and right. My mesmerized moment comes to a halt by a pair of wings.
“I finally found you”
“Dragon Wings??!!”
“You have a problem with THAT!?”
“Ah no, sorry”
“It seems you don’t remember me, I am Ragoniad Kilate from Kilate Dragon Clan”
She smiles and bows like a princess. This is my first time seeing a dragon having proper manners. And why is that I have a feeling that I met this girl before. Well let’s just ride with the flow.
”Ah.sorry for my disgraceful actions before. Hope you forgive me. My name is Joel Strongfort.”
“Strongfort? That’s a manly surname”
I think it’s not manly as you think, girl. Let’s know her intentions so that I can move on.
“How can I help you?”
“Marry me”
“Huh?”
I unconsciously drop my jaw at her words.
Ragoniad’s POV
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the balcony of our castle, a man sitting on the chair talking with other men who are also sitting in front of him. He is at his prime, brown eyes, white beard, white hair, wearing purple noble clothes that doesn’t hide his muscular body that tells how many battles he participated in his life. You can see that this man has an aura of a leader or a king, he is my father, head of our clan, Ragod Kilate. At his side, is a beautiful mature woman and you can tell that this is his wife. Gold eyes, shoulder length red hair, light brown skin and a mature body that produce a motherly aura, she is my mother, Drana Kilate. They are talking to four figures.

One is the head of clan, same with my father. He is tall, red hair, red eyes and has muscular body forged by many battles wearing red noble clothes, Borvo Fiyaa. The other three are his sons, Bero Fiyaa, the oldest, same features with his father but a chubby man. He’s face is close to 40 year old human. The second and third ones are the twins, Brenton and Cham Fiyaa, they are identical twins, same features with their father but their body is very fat and close to 15 year old human. The Fiyaa Clan are short tempered dragons which cause conflicts to other clans especially the Earthos and Amihan clans.
I admit I hate them aside from their short temperedness. They abuse and trample others to get what they want. I hold firmly my two little sisters who are hiding because of their trauma in the past. Those twin Fiyaa brothers’ tries to kill my little sisters in a pretense of ‘training’. My clan knows about it and wants to fight them but my father, the clan head, stop them as it will lead to our clan’s extinction or destruction as the Fiyaa clan, the biggest dragon clan consisting of 3000 clan members while ours, consist of 200 only. As the time past, the situation dies out but my little sisters’ trauma still resides in their memories, every time they saw a stranger man they mostly attack it without hesitation. I’ll never forgive those scums for hurting Frey and Gale, my adorable little sisters. If I have greater power, I can kill them on my own hands. Let’s calm down for now, my blood is boiling.
Drana: “Welcome back, dears”
“We’re back mother”
Brenton: “Hello there, my little princesses”
As to interrupt our sweet time, this bastard inserts in our conversation with a deceiving smile, if there’s no one around, I will kill him. Because of that, my little sisters ran to their room.
Cham: “Ha ha ha , they run”
As adding oil to my burning fire, this one laughs at my sisters. I clench my fist, and blood lust starts to escape at my body pointing towards to those bastards. As they feel it, they suddenly turn pale, and they knew that I can kill them so they run towards their father and hide. I start to transform and try to attack them but a familiar voice interrupts me.
“That’s enough”
I calm down and bow to my father.
“I am sorry, clan head. Why they are here?”
Borvo: “For your wedding”
Without hesitation, this bastard Fiyaa’s clan head replied.
“I don’t remember any wedding arrangements and why is it too fast?”
I feel something is wrong here and I think they want something valuable.
Borvo: “We know about your unique skill [Steal Stack] I think, and we want you to become ours”
This bastard shamelessly reveals his true colors, a greedy bastard. ‘Tch’ how do they know!
Borvo: “Your face shows, ‘how do we know?’ Well we have shadow dragons and you know their capability”
‘Shit’ this bastard monitored us. I thought that it just rumors that they spy every clan. Damn. Those shadow dragons are good for scouting. The shadow dragons are one of the peaceful dragon clans. They isolate themselves cause their weak but not too long until the Fiyaa clan uses schemes to make them submit.
“Do I have no choice for this?”
Borvo: “Yes you have….. wedding or your clan’s destruction”
At those words, I have no choice. This wise bastard are manipulative greedy schemers. His sons start to smile menacingly. Shit. I have nothing to do but only stand here and feel anger at the same time, sadness. Let’s find a solution to this mess.

Then I remember the face of the stranger, a man in the forest who hurts my sisters’ tails. But I easily steal and absorb his showy attack even it has almost no mana. Weird, why I am thinking about him and why my heart skips a beat. Ah, let’s focus on the current situation and. ‘Ah..maybe this works’ . Because of that man, I found a solution.
“I CHALLENGE you to an honorable battle,
if you win I am yours and if I win, you leave me, my family and my CLAN!!”
I point towards the pig, Bero. The crowd goes silent. My parents are nervous. We have a tradition called the Honorable Battle, a battle for honor, if a dragon declines; he will be branded as coward for eternity and banished from his clan. Of course, this battle, honors the winner’s set conditions or prize. If the defeated dragon never honors the result, the world will cursed him. I don’t know how it works but it’s the truth, many loser prideful dragons die instantly or suffer a curse that dishonors the result. Others said that it was the work of the Dragon God.
Bero: “Ho ho ho I accept. I hope you are sure of what you are doing”
Borvo: “Ha ha ha hope you will not regret it, my future daughter-in-law. Ha ha ha this is gonna be fun”
Damn. I forgot that they are expert in fighting and spitting fire. My chance is low but I’ll grab that chance and hope that I will win, no I must win this battle.
We are now on the big open grounds; this is our big backyard 2 kilometers from our clan’s territory, fitting for duels. We, dragons hold big territory since we are territorial, even our neighbor clansmen have a distance of at least 150 meters away from each other. My parents and my clan are here to cheer and support me. What a lovely bunch.
Drana: “Please be careful my dear”
Ragod: “Just do your best, don’t lose to those scums”
“I will and thank you”
I move towards the center to face and beat this strong and shameless opponent. Please help me god. In front of me is a chubby dragon, I think he doesn’t like to wait so I transform into a dragon too.
Bero: “You ready, my future and 14th wife?”
“……..”
Bero: “Silent are we? Or are you perhaps nervous?”
“………”
Bero: “Okay as I was a gentleman, I’ll let you hit me”
Ragoniad: “Why they’re too close?”
I ask about his shameless family who was 15 meters behind him while my family and clan were 100 meters away. Do these idiots don’t know about ‘safety first’?
Bero: “Don’t worry my love; they wanted to watch up close on your face when you beg for your defeat,
Come on hit me with your strongest attack. I bet it’s a lousy attack..come on.. come on”
As he wants to provoke me, he closes his eyes and spread his arms towards the air, confident in defending my attacks. My blood boils after hearing those words. Don’t dare you underestimate me idiot.
“[Steal Stack] top 1 RELEASE!”
Because of my anger, I release the attack that I absorb from the strange man before. Damn. That’s not my strongest attack. Shit. I lost my big opportunity to win. As I start to ready my second attack, I am stunned of the scenario happens in front of me.
A bright light pulsating in front of me with some black or darkness surrounds it, I feel the temperature around me starts to decrease and increase, it is so weird.
“AHHH….HELPP…FATHERRR!!!”
“FATHERR….AAAhhh”
“FATHERR….AAAhhh”
The screams of three idiots interrupt my thought and regain my composure. There I glance at them, currently their bodies are being absorb by my attack earlier. They are slowly absorb by the light with darkness. They are struggling to get out but they can’t. It seems the dragon’s strength is a joke in face of this one.
Brovo: “YOU! What have you done?”
As I am about to answer, my father calls me to fall back. I fall back towards my clan and my parents.
The ground starts to shakes and the light pulsates faster and faster. The shaking of the ground is in rhythm with the pulsating light.
“FALL BACK..EVERYONE GET OUT OF HERE..MOVE!”
My father breaks the silence and shock of everyone. We all move towards our territory. We use our clan’s special ability [Lightning Glide] by wrapping our legs and wings with electricity that boosts our movement speed. We reach our territory in 4 seconds. We are safe here because there’s a shield erect in our territory that protects us for thousands of years.
“Everyone listen..to be sure..we go towards the castle..come on MOVE!!”
My father instructs everyone to move towards the castle which is 3 kilometers to travel. After 6 seconds we reach the castle by using our special ability again. And a loud explosion can be heard from the east where the battle was held before.
The explosion’s sound is too loud. I never heard any sound louder than this one. We look towards the source. I feel a chill at my back and I know that I am scared, scared that everyone around me will perish. The bright white light together with darkness swallows everything in its path as it move towards here. It become fainter and fainter until it reach our territory’ s shield which instantly devour it the moment touches it. Our shield didn’t withstand it which a product of years of magic and work, blood and sweat of our best dragons to form it but instantly breaks it or to be exact devour it by this strange attack. Horrible this is a horrible, if father didn’t order us to run we may be good as dead now. Everyone around me was shock and scared by this event. Weird thing is the light continues to shine after the explosion. It shines for minutes which is odd, a light should be died down after an explosion like a fire.
“Everyone calm down, you scout that light and report back at me”
“Wait.. look at the birds”
My mother interrupts my father’s orders and we look up to the birds flying above the strange light. After few seconds, the birds behaves strangely and then drop on the ground, dead. What dead? There’s no more explosion only light. What’s really going on?
“What?..the birds dead!”
As everyone said that, my father gives orders to everyone.
“Everyone listen. No one will pass beyond here; I strictly order this to everyone to never go beyond this castle’s border”
“But our belongings and our house is there, Clan chief”
“No you don’t, do you want to exchange your life for simple things? Do you want to leave your family immediately? If you understand no one will pass beyond this.”
After my father say those words, everyone faces’ pales as they understand that the strange light will cause death or their demise. We look at the birds flying until they reach the strange light and like before they drop in the sky, dead. Looks like we face another crisis after crisis.
Clansmen: “Chief, what do we do?”
“Wait. Ragoniad do you know that attack? Please tell me everything”
At those words, everyone look towards me. It seems that they almost forgot my battle before. I start to explain them everything about how I met a strange man and absorb his attack. About my sisters and how the strange man suddenly disappear in front of me. Everyone is shock at my story, they are shock about the strange attack, they are shock that we are still alive and they are shock as to how the man disappears in front of me like a ghost.
Author: so many shocking scenes. i am shock too in writing this.
“Sorry everyone, because of me this happens”
“It’s okay because of you, we escape our fate from those Fiyaa bastards”
“Yeah”
“Congrats and I think they’re dead”
“Yeah they’re dead so it’s okay”
My clansmen are praising and thanking me. I am glad I belong here. They are a lovable bunch. My sisters hug me to comfort me saying “Big sis, it’s okay”. How adorable. I start to cry because of this.
*cough*
“Let’s have a banquet to celebrate this day”
The people cheers at the sound of banquet even they can’t go back at their homes, they are still excited about banquet. What a lovable bunch.
“So many strange things happens to us”
“Yes”
“Ragoniad”
“Yes father”
“After this banquet, you need to find this man since no one around here is worthy of being next to you”
“Father you mean?”
“Yes and I know about your strange behavior after you met that man”
“What do you mean?”
“I know about it since you comply to every word I give to you but after you met that man you stand on your feet and fight for your freedom even you know that you have low chance of winning”
“And as your mother, I know that my daughter fell in love. Actually you blush if you think about him right?”
“Mother!!”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
End of POV
Back to present
“Okay I hear about your story”
“So will you accept?”
“Nope”
“Why? Are you not interested in me?”
Ragoniad looks dejected and sad after hearing those words. Ahh, poor girl.
“I am not against about our ‘Marriage’ but let’s ensure our feelings first”
Damn because I pity this beautiful maiden I say those words. It makes my heart skips a moment. Is this what they say about love at first sight?
“What do you mean?”
Man, she looks hot and cute and more way cuter the way she say those words like expecting something.
Let’s calm down, let’s not haste this pink moment. If I accept her proposal, my responsibilities will double, will become two, mission and family, and it makes my completion of my mission slower. And a family where I need to focus more time to her and take care of little kids when time comes.
But this is a moment, the greatest dream of every guy back in my world especially the otaku ones being proposed by a beautiful girl and rejoices like they will join the heaven’s choir singing ‘Hallelujah’ happens to me, a lucky bastard.
Calm down. Find a better answer for this once in a lifetime moment. Man, I’m not good with love. I am good in games. God please help me. Is there a tutorial for 100% success love?. Ah let’s go with the flow.
“We have a tradition back in my old world *cough*I mean in my town where the man and woman needs to know each other before they decide getting married”
Oops I almost reveal my origin.
“So we will need to know each other? And we will be together right?”
Ahh so cute..damn I think I will marry you.
“Yes it is called dating but I don’t’ know how to properly ‘date’ someone since I …I”
“I?”
“I have no experience ”
Crap I say those words. What will she think? Will she rejects me? Well its fine at least I can focus on my mission. What a heart break. Oh god why of all time this moment happens to me.
“Its fine... Me too”
Oh..she giggle while she say those words. God Thank you. I ensure you that I can do my job well.
“So”
“Umm”
Damn..how to break this silence? The situation becomes awkward to us. I need help here. Ah, let just change the topic.
“So no one enters the strange light right?”
“Yes as my father strictly orders it”
“How did you find me?”
“umm…secret”
Right women are full of secrets so let’s not pursue this one and change the topic. I think it’s her woman intuition I guess or her desire. Let’s move on.
“Okay sorry..I will take full responsibility on that strange white light”
“No, its my fault at first place by absorbing it from you and use it to Fiyaa clan”
Ahhh…how honest she is. It makes me think to regret my dating path than the marriage path but its okay as they say that guy’s happy days will end at marriage. Whew.
“Its okay, because of it you save your clan right? And I know how to solve it”
“Really!!”
“Yes and I can help your little sisters’ traumas too”
“REALLY!! If that’s the case my clan will be forever grateful to you and thanks”
“Don’t mention it so how to go there? Flying or teleport? The faster the quicker I can solve it”
Please don’t look at me with those puppy eyes of yours. It seems she wants us to travel together but let’s prioritize things first.
“Please understand that the faster we get there, the less chance that people will die from coming there”
“Okay I understand”
Please don’t be sad.
“[Teleport]”
As the light subsides in my view, I am in front of Kilate Clan’s castle. Wait why I am surrounded by dangerous looking Fiyaa’s dragon clansmen?
“Ragoniad? What’s the meaning of this?”
As I say those words, an important looking man walks towards me.

8 92Dream Dungeon
Welcome to the dream dungeon. Ely suddenly finds himself in a mysterious dungeon accessed only through sleeping. Many people are drawn into this dream world, confused and mystified. Those in this dungeon must kill monsters to survive; maybe even each other. Join Ely as he struggles to survive a ruthless environment. What replaces his rest is untold trauma. What seems like an innocent game trope turns into a nightmare. This is a story of tragedy and the path to ultimate power. All in the hopes of an uncertain survival. _________ This fiction has NOT been abandoned. I made a haughty promise earlier to not worry because I'll continue this series, and with things lately, I've only proved myself a liar. Further promises dwindled, and I've lost trust. So many things have been going on recently that I've been booked. I will refrain from making any future guarantees or promises as my busy schedule will stay with me for a long long while. Time for me to actually spend on writing and revising won't appear until at the least November 19. I won't say expect that's when I'll restart, but you can expect expecting it to maybe happen. That's really shallow. But with everything going on, I've let my small reading base down. I apologize. I still stick by my statement though that I won't abandon this project. I plan to stick it to the end, no matter the delay. Most importantly, thank you everyone; readers who both like and dislike my work. I appreciate your time spent on my dumb imagination. Stay toasty my readers in this winter season. Cheers. UPDATE: We're back on track. Thank you for your patience. Any future readers, heyo! Glad you're here. UPDATE 2: So far it's been 21 days since I last uploaded a chapter. The best thing done for any fiction, no matter how good it is, is that it continues, and I have a bad history with that. 1 fiction on hiatus and already more delays with less than 20 chapters in this fiction. I've been very preoccupied with adding more things to do in my life rather than actually committing to any particular thing. That applies primarily to this. I cannot abandon this, as busy as my future looks and will look as I get busier and busier. Someday, I hope, I will be able to sit down and just write. just. write. But for now, I ask for patience. I suppose I'm glad this fiction hasn't picked up so that I don't disappoint too many people if any really. But I need to commit and it's going to happen sometime and sometime soon. No more flowery words. I'll see you later. UPDATE 3: It's very evident I won't be able to pick up this story for a while. With AP Testing, competitions, and other things I am busier than ever. But I must complete this fiction. I have too. Until next time. UPDATE 4: It is now the summer. I owe everyone an apology. Chances are, nobody's around to see this, and that is okay. I only blame myself for this sort of brokenness of a fiction, not that it is actually that bad but I am just exaggerating it for dramatic effect.But what's not exaggerated is the severity of my broken promise. I apologize for my naive claims about finishing a novel that I couldn't finish and that I didn't have the discipline to finish. Nor the skills, really, I was and am still an immature writer.What is to place now? I want to make it clear I understand this is my fault. I will man up to this. And I will accept any criticism. I understand I messed up. Reading Stephen King's On Writing made it clear to me that I need to do two things:Read lots.And write lots.I have done neither. If I don't have the time to read often, how do I expect to write? I need to become more experienced. I need to become a serious writer.So if I want to dream of continuing, I need to at least fulfill both requirements. I enjoy writing. I haven't written seriously outside of school in a while. I planned to write this summer and finish this. I made a lot of promises that I didn't keep.So there's that. I won't enact any self-pity, or be foolishly obsessed. What I did was wrong, and I must deal with it. I let down readers. And I apologize.I hope I can find forgiveness. This is a writer's sin.I won't promise I'll finish this. I intend to finish this, at some point, because writing is fun and I want to write. But how things are don't reflect that. Maybe I'll finish this at some point. Maybe I won't. I won't be naive to make that promise.I thank everyone who has read this if this is the end. If not, and hopefully not, I thank everyone who is to read future chapters. I thank everyone who allowed me to live in the miniscule little dream of mine as I passed my days. I thank everyone who cares enough to read this. Until next time, peace everyone. Thank you. You are all great readers and great people. I wish everyone the best in whatever reading/writing endeavors follow you henceforth.
