《After the Game Over》Chapter 4 : (Foolish) Plan and First Clash
Advertisement
Still in black attire, I stood on the highest floor of my castle (well it’s like more rooftop than a floors) and in my back there was a garden with various flowers embedded on it make my gloomy caslte looks more vibrant and beautiful, weird somehow because my castle is known as a Dark Castle but it’s rooftop full of flowers.
My shoulder-lenght hair flaping in the spring breeze that still felt cold in my skin, probably still carrying the remnants of the winter air that had just passed.
This castle has a height about 50 meters, made with black mountain rocks and coated with Black Iron, each of which is given a rune that can be interpreted as "Hard" on it.
Not too fancy actually when compared to other large guilds that coated their walls with Adamantium and various other types of runes which currently more expensive and hard to make.
I looked at the city right under my sight that now was bustling with activities. Many different races people chit – chating, make a jokes, or go.. dating? In the morning? Seriously?
And actually about an hour ago I saw the team that I was assigned to inspect the surrounding area ride on various kinds of Beast like Fire Salamander, Lightning Bear and Ancient Deer, walking arrogantly and full of pride in the middle of streets that full of citizens.
So much pride that make me want to throw up just by looking at it. Or maybe it’s just a façade to cover their anxiousness or it’s a warrior stuff to stick out their chest?
Also I saw some people listening to the announcement from Dark Mantel members, a special forces who served as city police. Well the people remained calm and there was no riot happen, even though some of them were still questioning the Dark Mantel about what had happened. Easy, no worries.
And I can see from here that some of the farmers house who live outside the walls and a majority of the farms disappear entirely and are replaced by vast rock hills and pine trees with some shrubbery.
Also some reports came to me this morning that the mine inside the Underground area disappeared with the people inside it, as I thought.
And I can only hope this doesn't become even worse or became more shitty. I hope.
Looking back at the activity in the city, I remembered my life a few years ago when I just a naive and pure kid ... Err, I guess?
Yep, I'm not completely a person who likes to close myself or bacame a nerd, sometimes I also like the boisterauness of the city. And when I was a kid a few times I dreamed to enter the world of Fantasy and become an Adventures on it, actually became a hero/knight to save a bauty of course.
And that can be realized with the release of the "World of Order" and unfortunately I can't live my life as an Adventurer as it should.
You know when I was just sticking to Zen or just playing alone when Zen was offline. Even though at that time I had several friends and acquaintances, but no. I prefer to be a Solo Player like some main character from novel I read and this is it I became a dark armored magic swordman.

And after thinking it back, I want became a True Adventurer and follow the right way to become as one of them.
Hmm right, being a true Adventures during the day and becoming a Lord at the night.
Aish, why do I feel I've heard the same words but different meaning?
I mean, being a good person during the day and being a bastard at the night? Right?
I've decided! I will be the True Adventurer!
And besides, some tasks don't require me to take action instantly, right? And I have subordinates who I can count for 24 hours a day!
At least 6 – 8 hours each days also not too bad.
There is no harm!
Hehehe...
…
We depart when the sun has just appeared in the east and the fog still hangs over this mountain, maybe more appropriate to call it mountains.
While riding a Fire Salamander our eyes were wide open in the midst of the cold winds that was blowing hard, watching every bend and descent of this mountain even the shadows were not spared from it. Still doubt what we will find in this foreign world.
Right, foreign world.
It is strange because what we remember just like an ordinary day without any incident just like another days, until midnight our Lord, Uriel Zenille told us that our city appeared in a foreign world.
I still remember, in the afternoon on the previous day I still walked around the city without meet any suspicios sign. Even the gatekeepers who opened their eyes that night did not see any strange events such as portals or anything.
Aware of the dangers, my father Agis Lohr the Head of Lohr Family, one of the 4 Aristocrat Families was summoned into the castle along with the others Families Head and other Departemen.
When he backs with a sour face and brings the news, I can't even believe what he says.
I mean, our city is one of the most respected cities in the entire continent and our Lord is one of 5 legends. Is there anyone who can do this without getting caught? And is there a gigantic spell that can move us to another world just in the blink of eye without anyone noticing? Probably no. Of course it will different if it's a god or goddess who do this.
And my Father told me that Lord Uriel had given the order to find out if there other intellegent creature's settlemen or clue of it, to find out infomartion of this world.
Hearing that, of course I was immediately excited, because who wasn't?
The previous world I live in was fully explored without leaving a single point unxplored, even the most hidden cave already been discovered a long time ago. Maps are everywhere and sold out at fairly cheap prices and even the most commoner citizens can afford to buy a part of it like kingdoms map.
Isn't this an adventure that I dream about? An adventure that will bring my name written in history and sung by Bard in the Tavern/Inn or maybe in all cities even the world?

I impatiently asked my father to give me a command post, which after he thought it was good to train me and approve my request. My sister Nanya Lohr also asked to participated in this mission and my Father approved it without thinking. A papa’s daughter it’s.
And here we are with 25 people alltogheter as a team, consisting of 15 people from my Lohr Aristocrat Family, 2 people from Dark Luster Knights, 5 people from Black Sword, and 3 people from Shadow Wachter act as scouts in front of us.
After a few hours walking to the east and parting with the other 3 groups few hours ago, the area we currently walked had changed from mountains full of rocks and little shrubbery and some trees to a forest filled with tall pine trees that shadowing the ground below it’s branch.
Of course when we walked up to there we faced with some problems. Some monsters came and tried to attack our group, which of course we opposed back, we managed to kill most of them and caught some of them for future research and put them in the Obsidian Prison Cage which could shrink and enlarge to a palm size. Practical tool.
Even some people look busy recording and discussing these creatures according to their physical characteristics and abilities until now. A scholar type people and mostly of them is a wizard or a mage that highly sought about because of their rarestness. Just think of it 1 of 100 born will have a mana pool that will contain mana and can be cultivated became a wizard or a mage at least. Even sometimes I will envy of them.
Looking at my group behind, I spot my sister Nanya walking alongside a man named Kriri from the Dark Luster Knight Department. Which I immediately showed an unpleasant face.
Of course I was unhappy. Nanya was the first daughter of Lohr Aristocrat Family, with her status as the Lohr family and Lord Uriel's fiancé, she has very lofty status even within my family, so she must not be seen with any other men out of her league.
Kriri was a former thug, a womanizer behind his stern appearance and he was indeed a lucky person to be able to enter the Dark Luster Department in my opnion. Just a frog that lust over the swan meat.
This will be a big problem if there are strange rumors spread to the public or even the worst to the Lord Uriel himself. Not only she will saved from it, but our family will also not be tolerated.
I had to speak immediately to my sister before a big problem arose or there will be an enddles problem await us
When I was thinking about what advice I should talk to my sister, I heard the sound of low-pitched bird whistling and one of the people from Shadow's Wacther spurred her mounts to be faster, which of course we too followed it.
Tch, I forgot there is the Shadow's Wacther or what is known as King's Eyes - peoples that give full loyalty to Lord Uriel untill they die or even became a ghost. I hope they don't tell the things about Nanya walking alongside Kriri.
Running quickly past through trees and bushes is one of Fire Salamander's abilities. So passing through a thick forest is not a problem for us.
In front of us there were two people in black robes who were riding two Terror Lizards who stood using their back legs, clever animals use to sneak in because their bodies colours were black and green mostly and the sound of their feet was barely audible.
One of those Shadow’s Watcher who had been with us or whom we called Purple approached the two of them and that three people gave each other a weird signal, because what you see was they just looked at each other with their masked face without a sound or any other signal.
After a while Purple turned to us and said with a hoarse voice, "There are some people in front of us ... but they are all Apes."
The one who heard it was immediately dumbfounded and said to my mind ‘A group of.. apes? What?’
Feeling strange I about what she says asked back to Purple, “Are you sure? And if so, how could you think of a group of ‘apes’ same as a ‘peoples’?"
"You can see it for yourself," Purple said as she shrugged her shoulders.
I feel annoyed at Purple's behavior, which I do know that all of the Shadow ’Watchers do behave like b*tch except to Lord Uriel himself.
Only able to resist my emotions and I pushmy Fire Salamander to go forward
"Are you sure you want to see it? We think they are dangerous," Purple says with nonchalant voice while looked at me. I can tell that b*cth mocked me under her mask.
Ignoring her I urge my mount to walk. I stop my mount in the front and hide behind the trees, what I see is a group of people wearing Iron Armor and wearing Black Animals Fur on their bulky bodies, not some Apes like Purple and her friends said.
When I still seized them up, one of them turned his head and sees me behind the trees and now I can clearly see their faces. Now we looked each other, golden eyes and large flat nose with wrinkled black faces that really resemble apes.
The ape’s face changed after seeing me and from his mouth came a loud deafening roars.
"Hooman! Grraahhhhh!"
And with that cry the other apes turned around and dashing towards us with their arms holding weapons.
Seeing it, I could only take out my sword and hold it tight while saying.
"Damn, I'm screwed."
