《Opening an orphanage in another world》Chapter 16: The meeting
Advertisement
"That was such an uncivilized act you displayed young Ash!" [Claude]
"Sorry..." [Ash]
"Just don't do it again!" [Claude]
"Yes..." [Ash]
Apparently, due to the number of zombies spawned during our training session, as well as the amount of mana that I used to fight those church follower, the watcher in the sky became big, like it suddenly decided that our action should be highlighted and thus, when I shouted Diana and Ram named, let just said I make the most embarrassing act in my life. I sincerely thought that only a few people will hear it as the watcher usually would be small as it usually does, but apparently Claude told me that there is few factors that can make them big. To put is simple, it's just like a TV show highlighting an interesting program by replaying the same program, only in this case, it became bigger as opposed to the TV show on earth
As Claude lecturing session come to an end (thank god), Farhah bring me a glass of water to console me, such a sweet little sister, that's before she decided to join back the other, playing with Behe. No matter how I see it, Behe act just like a cat, playing with the ball of thread that we buy along the way. Singa, don't imitate Behe! I knew you come from a feline bloodline, but you're not a cat, and Housey, not you too! You are a ferocious Behemoth before, what happen to the Behemoth that sends shiver down to my spine. Well, since they are having fun, let us not ruined the mood
(Oh, there's the bell) [Ash]
Well, since they are playing with Behe, Claude and I decided to greet our guests, there is Ram, Gizzere (what are you doing here?) Qis and Diana, and my god, Diana face, that scary face make me reflexively closed the door
"Open up Ash, you are the one inviting us, right!" [Diana]
"Claude, if I die, please take care of them" [Ash]
"Well, you reap what you sow" [Claude]
And there's another scolding from Diana, at least take a seat first will you! As Diana barrage of lectures see no sign of ending, an angel descend to help me
"Princess Diana, will you play with us afterward?" [Kara]
As Kara said that, she hug Diana. Kara seriously have taken a liking toward Diana, and Diana stopped with her lecture, saying that she might do just that,

(Kara, thank you so much!) [Ash]
As I look at my saviour, Gizzere and Ram approach me, which make me wonder
"Well, something that can kill an S ranked monster are no joke by any mean, plus it will disturb Estel's Economies, so that's why I am here as well" [Gizzere]
"You are the same as ever sweetie, reading someone else mind so easily" [Ram]
"Eh?" [Ash]
"What, don't you know, she is my wife" [Ram]
"Ehhhhhh!!!!" [Ash]
Well, obviously I don't! I am not like Gizzere who can read someone minds! Still, the adventure guild master Ram look younger than Gizzere, so
"Well, our age gap are quite large, around 15 years so that's why I look much older" [Gizzere]
"I see" [Ash]
"Let us not waste any more time shall we?" [Ram]
"Agree" [Gizzere]
"Before that, can these three joins as well?" [Ash]
As I said that, I point my finger toward Claude, Rean, and Elise. Claude is pretty obvious, he can give an opinion as someone who has lived (lived huh... well-kinda) for 100 years, as for Rean and Elise, I just wanted them to be there, even if they remain silent during the whole meeting, It's fine, as I'm sure they can learn a few things with this meeting, from manner to conducting a formal meeting, I'm sure of that. Diana, Ram and Gizzere approved, even telling them to do their best and learn something as they see the conflicting face of those two (pretty sure they wanted to observe the meeting but too scared to do so. Understandable, the three of them are an important people)
As Claude guide those three to our last minute meeting with, he prepared a nice dessert for us, it looks just like the Gulab Jamoon, and Indian sweet that I once taste on earth. Round and sweet, but this time, the syrup used were replaced with honey, and the three becomes delighted over it. As expected of Claude!
With that
"Sorry for calling all of you in such a manner, and in a short notice as well, but I had a solid reason to do so" [Ash]
"Well, manner aside, I just wanted to confirm, is it really a Light Behemoth?" [Diana]
"Yes it is, I had my friend, a clerk from the adventure guild name Alice to double confirm it, and she said the same" [Ash]

"Well, those adventure sure make a ruckus afterward" [Ram]
"Some merchant and noble had approached me as well, asking the merchant guild to buy the light Behemoth from Ash" [Gizzere]
"Well, that's because I rejected them" [Ash]
Seriously, they approached us as soon as we came out from the dungeon, going as far as stalking us along the way. Well, I just gave them a good glared as a warning and thank god it works
"A random malignant wormhole which spawn Behemoth inside the city, and the appearance of a baby light behemoth on the first floor of the dungeon, surely it can't be a coincidence" [Diana]
"I thought the same, plus something that can kill an S rank monster, separating Behe from it parents, I can't help but to shudder a bit at that time. Still, I can't even falter a guess at this point" [Ash]
"How about you Mr Claude? Do you have any idea?" [Ram]
"Well, this is just my speculation, but don't you think this have something to do with the old church follower?" [Claude]
"And why is that?" [Gizzere]
"100 years ago, there's this movement among those church people that actually talks about controlling the dungeon, believing that they can use the dungeon to access world beyond Achalasia" [Claude]
"Something wrong brother Ash?" [Elise]
"Nothing..." [Ash]
"?" [Rean]
"But I thought those teaching were banned and all of their followers were caught?" [Gizzere]
"Well, not all of it, my master had met a few of them, obviously my master and I tried to catch and interrogate them, but they simply chose suicide as a way out" [Claude]
"That's gruesome" [Diana]
"If they managed to survive up till these days, surely some of their researches had at least bore some fruit" [Claude]
"And you're saying they are responsible for opening a random malignant wormhole?" [Qis]
"Precisely" [Claude]
"Then how do you explain about that Baby Behemoth?" [Qis]
"Surely, if they can control the dungeon, they had a mean of controlling what inside the dungeon as well" [Claude]
"!" [Other]
Now this is serious, if they really have the mean to so, it no exaggeration to say they can control the whole world of Achalasia
"Diana, old man, what do you guys think?" [Ash]
"It certainly plausible, but we simply have no prove" [Diana]
"Agree" [Ram]
"Like I said, this is just my speculation" [Claude]
"But it's not too far stretched" [Gizzere]
"Can you explain?" [Diana]
"During the recent uprising, the saint and saintess asked the merchant guild to investigate some suspicious activities involving the R&D of the church, at first we thought of nothing strange going on until..." [Gizzere]
"Until?" [Ash]
"Let just said they managed to get some rare item from the dungeon and sold it to the merchant guild through various merchant, and here lies the problem, when we asked them to explain how they managed to get those items, they simply said that it was the goddess blessings for supporting the saint and saintess and when we further inquired about it, all we can find was that they really do obtained it from the dungeon, even the dungeon from faraway" [Gizzere]
"Did Father knew about it?" [Diana]
"I had told King Estel about it, but alas we couldn't do anything and thus shrugged it off as the goddess blessings" [Gizzere]
"Still, was the money really used to support the saint and saintess? As I recall, they were constantly running low on funds" [Ram]
"No, I don't think so" [Gizzere]
"Well, setting aside that speculation, we do have a bigger threat to deal with" [Ash]
"Yes, and that is to hunt down the monster that can kill a light Behemoth" [Diana]
"Before that, how about a tea break" [Claude]
Nice timing Claude, we are starting to get tired. As Claude serve us the tea, I can hear those kid still playing with Behe, and look like Kara and Mara are trying to use photo magic to take pictures of Behe, well hope they succeed
"Well, shall we continue?" [Ash]
"Mr Ram, do you have any idea about the monster that can kill a light Behemoth?" [Diana]
"A few, but let just wait for the scout that I send to give me their report" [Ram]
"I see, in the meantime I think it's better for us to close the fixed part of the dungeon for a while, until this issue resolved" [Diana]
"Won't that hurt the economy?" [Ash]
"Well, it sure will, but the risk outweigh the benefits, so I'm inclined to agree" [Gizzere]
"I'll propose it to Father afterward, and Ash" [Diana]
"Yes?" [Ash]
"Can you tracked down the monster as well?" [Diana]
"!" [Ash]

The Worldforge: Warlock Rising
Abandoned as an orphan, Mar was tested for magic by the Mages of Orelm and was found to possess immense magical potential, but when he grew old enough to start his training he found he was unable to cast so much as a single spell! Embarrassed by their mistake, the mages threw him in the library where he read books and tutored the mage students for a bit of money. All the while, he can’t help but envy the the students who are living the life he had so eagerly awaited. But when an object of great and malevolent power promises to make good on all the promises the mages broke to him Mar is thrust into the world of magic. Mar will find that fate had something more than a life confined to the library planned for him after all. Authors Notes: I consider this to be a comming-of-age Sword and Sorcery story based mostly on the style of classic western fantasies. So if that's your thing then I encourage you to take a peek. Something I want to mention though is that the main character starts of pretty wimpy, and that might not be your thing. That being said, if you stick with him he's got a long way to grow. Also, while this version of the story is meant to be fully readable, more dicerning readers may want to wait until I move out of rough draft phase. There may be some inconsistancies with character and plot while I am still in the rough draft phase. I'm sorry for this, but this is my first web novel and from what I've read the best way to get a good novel out is to write write write, and then edit ruthlessly after you're finished with the book, so that's the plan I'm going to follow. Again, this is a rough draft. Everything you are reading is subject to change, including the name, title, and cover photo. This may no longer be the case once I've decided I know where this fiction is going and I have a reasonable understanding of the characters and their behavior. You're reading what comes off my keyboard as it's made, with very limited editing. There will be mistakes in the text. I do a quick spell check to take out the worst of the errors, but there will be some I miss. You can point them out in the comments if they are particularly confusing or glaring and I will try to fix them, however I am not overly concerned about minor errors as this is not the final draft by any means.

The New God’s Representative
I was given a one-a-trillion chance opportunity to reincarnate into a fantasy world by a god. The actual chances are probably even lower — I mean, how would you even calculate the chances of being in my frankly ridiculous situation? In any case, the deal we made seemed pretty good; at least hope so, seeing as I’ve forgotten most of it along with the memories of my past life. Now, I’m a baby bird monster in a world with magic. I can see my Status as if I were an RPG character. And running with the RPG theme, my main Quest in this world is to become its strongest entity or titular God. I have a couple thousand years to do it or else the laws of reality itself will erase my existence. But, hey. That’s exactly what I signed up for, right?
