We had finished training and were ready to go back to guild hall but

“Oh, what’s date today?!” Master asked in shock.

“I don’t know. Now that I think since the day I ended up here. I didn’t bother asking date.” I said.

“It's Age XX998. And 2-uh, 24th of 10th month.” Master said while being confused on date.

“Months and days exist here too?" I asked.

“Of course. How else can, we can celebrate festivals and other stuff?” Master said.

“Oh how many days are there in a month?” I ask.

“28 or 29 days in each 12 months.” Master replied.

“I see. That’s almost same as my world. Weird. But, I guess, I can calculate, My birthday, let’s go guild hall then I can calculate my birthday.” I said.

“Oh, we can show you month names there. Let’s go.” Master replied.

We go to guild hall.

After some walk, we reach guild hall.

And again, As always. Mess was going on.

“Just like always.” I said.

“You all! Silence!” Master said.

A pie came flying in his face. I chuckle a little.

“They didn’t liste-" I was just saying that another pie came in my face.

“Ahahahaha" Master laughs.

Serina brings towel, and we clear our faces.

“Thank you, dear.” Master said.

“Thanks Serina." I said.

“No problem. Happy to help!” She replied.

“Where's Mei and Alec?” Master asked.

“They went on quest with Sharon and Grim.” Serina replied.

“What’s the quest?” Master asked.

“ C class monster hunt.” Serina replied.

“They should be fine. Sharon and Grim are B class. Alec, and Mei seem strong themselves.” Master said.

“I don’t know about Sharon and Grim. But, Alec? He’s a monster himself. I don’t know who he truly is though. He said Syn something during Ella's interrogation but full name? No clue. And about Mei. She's strong probably. I don’t know. Not sure.” I replied.

“Don’t worry. We will find a way to lift the seal and fix his memory. And Serina. Give Egan, Rune and Ariel message that, they shouldn’t ask anything to Alec about his past. Explain them. Tell Rune to train Mei. While as for Alec. We need to ask Kiwari. Till then, Ariel can teach her stuff. Though, I think my friend’s guild might have a half angel and demon adventurer. We could ask them once Alec's memory is fixed.” Master said.

“I see.” I replied and think: Master seems to be a good tactician. Tactician reminds me I needed to calculate my birthday date in this year.

“Master where's calendar?” I asked.

“Oh Serina, get calendar out. I need Seji to see it.”

“Come at my desk, please.” Serina said.

“Alright.” I replied.

We go to Serina's desk, and she gets calendar out.

“Here this is 10th month of Hippodromos. And today is 25th.” Serina said.

“WAIT WHAT! THE PRINCE ALFONZO IS GOING TO VISIT ON 27th AND I WAS SUPPOSED TO JOIN KING WITH OTHER TOP Five GUILDS FOR MEETING!”

“What meeting? Master.” Serina asked.

"For the relations between Galahaeim and Niuinaire. Niuinaire is a very great country with its rapid growth, we will need to shake hands with them.” He replied.

“One question, Master. Why would they require Guild Masters for the Meeting?” I asked.

“Top Guilds are important for a country to show it’s Military power. When the country will need. We will be paid to fight for our country too. And to pressurize Other party with power. That’s a political tactic. And I’ll try asking king if he has heard anything about people saying that they are from different world and if not then he can lend us his help. King is like my buddy after all.” Master said.

“I see. Thank you, Gramps.” I replied.

“We are probably the reason his blood boils.” Serina said.

“Nah, He’s a calm guy. And a good one.” Master said.

“Anyways, check your birthday.” Master said.

“Alright. In my world my birthday used to be on 4th of 12th month but the months had 30 or 31 days. But , here it’s 29 or 30.”

I look at calendar and read month names as

• Prokuklios- 29 days

• Athanaios -30 days

• Boukatios -30 days

• Dios -29 days

• Euthaios -30 days

• Homoloios 29 days

• Hermaios – 29 days

• Dionusios -30 days.

• Agudays. -29 days

• Hippodromos – 29 days

• Laphraios -30 days

• Panamos – 30 days.

“Know what? Let’s just say it’s on 4th of panamos. I’m way too confused to do it so, never mind." I said with whimper.

“It will be coming soon.” Serina said.

“Ah, Yea.” I replied.

“That’s nice. Will be fun.” Master said.

By the time we were talking the door opens.

The person takes off his Cape which was wrapped around his neck, head and upper body.

A Super ripped person walks in door. He has a two claw tattoo on his right cheek. His hair was Blue and Black. And it was quite a lot of messy hair. He was wearing a jacket only with no shirt. His muscles were all visible. I can see his breath. He’s probably an ice wizard. His eyes were sharp as of reptiles. His body was filled with scars like of a warrior. And he was wearing a cool necklace.

“Oh, Dragnia. You are back.” Master said.

“He's dragnia?!” I said in a shock.

“Yes, indeed. The strongest person in guild. Dragnia.” Serina said.

“I see. Indeed he seems strong.” I said.

“Yeah.” Serina said.

“Yo, Gramps.” Dragnia said in a low voice.

“Ahahaha, how was quest?” Gramps asked.

Dragnia goes on stairs and says, “Easy, like always.”

Dragnia looks at me with his keen eyes. And walks up.

“H-II?” I said while stuttering.

He ignored and went up.

“Don’t wake me up for two days. I’ll be asleep. Tell that hooligan to stay away from me while I’m asleep.” He said while walking up.

Another girl walks in room carrying baggage.

“MASTERRR!! HE MADE ME CARRY ALL THIS STUFF!!” A girl enters the door crying. She was wearing a purple dress with shorts.

“I’m sorry, Isabell. You know him. I told you. Don't go with him.” Master said in awkward face.

“It’s fine. I know he will accept me someday!” Isabell said in joy.

“Here you go again. He’s always been a solo adventurer since the time...” Serina said in a low voice.

“I know. Okay. But, I want him to change him. I want to be strong to protect him...” Isabell said in a low voice.

“Since what time?” I asked.

“Long time ago, first my daughter-in-law or his mother died of disease. And then, My son couldn’t take the pain and killed himself. Then one day, during quests. He lost his friends too. They were his best friends indeed. This was before we were one of top guilds but, he used to go questing with his Three friends. Droid, Lash and Raven... But, one day. He went on a quest with them. And they didn’t make it back. He said someone murdered them. And only he knows who. It’s sad. I feel bad when I see him like that. Like everything precious to him was taken away from him...” Master told the story in the low voice.

“I see. I’m sorry if I sounded rude." I replied in a low voice.

“It’s alright.” Master replied.

“That’s why I want to stick with him... I love him...” Isabell said.

“Anyways, welcome our new member seji here. Isabell. He’s new here.” Master said.

“Oh, yes. My bad forgot. Welcome seji!” Isabell welcomed me.

“Thank you, Isabell.” I replied.

“No worries. If you need any help ask me anytime. Not like I’m much useful, but I’ll try my best to help!” Isabell said and went up stairs carrying that baggage.

“Who’s she?” I asked Master.

“Isabell Kingstone. She’s childhood friend of Dragnia. And also, she has a bad crush on him. So, she sticks with him.” Master replied.

“I see...”

“Well, you have met with almost everyone except a few now. I wonder when she will be back.” Mater said.

“Do you mean her? Master!?” Serina asked in shock.

“Yea her. That little brat.” Master said.

“Its bad thing to call me brat, Gramps.” A voice of little girl came from the roof.

“I didn’t mean it like that. But show yourself, Emilia.” Master said.

“My goodness. If you say so, Gramps.” Again that little voice.

A little energy orb comes down from the roof and transforms into a little girl. She has blonde hair and a dress.

“Here you are, Emilia. As always coming and going without telling.” Master said.

“Welcome back! Emilia.” Serina said.

“Thank you, Serina. Well, I’m the only spirit in guild. So, Don’t say it like that. Gramps." Emilia said while tossing her hair back and started floating around me and asked, “You are the new person in guild right?”

“Yes, I am.” I replied.

“I see. Welcome to guild then.” She said with smile.

“Thank you, Emilia. My name is Sejiyoi Midaro. Pleasure meeting you.” I replied.

“Sejiyoi.” She said.

“Just call me seji.” I said.

“Oh, alright then Seji. Anyways, The pleasure is all mine.” She replied while tossing her hair back.

“Well, Gramps I’m going to rest. Tell when lunch is ready." She said and went up.

“Hey Gramps, how can ghosts eat food?” I asked.

“They can in a way. But, spirits will need to posses a body to feel the taste of food Except! Until they make pact with people. By making pact spirits can have physical bodies like of humans. And control it at will. And their physical body is immune to physical attacks, at very least they can pass through normal weapons, but not if mana is put into weapons. Then it will hurt like it does on a normal body. I have formed pact with her. She helps to get information from many sources without getting detected. You can say my trusty soldier.” Master explained.

“I see. But where you find her?” I asked.

“When I was looking for a guild house, I found her here. Haunting this house. Apparently her family was killed, and she couldn’t leave her house for heaven or hell. She was stuck here. So, I asked her to join pact with me. She agreed and now she's here.” Master said.

“I see.” I replied.

“Anyways, Where’s Egan, Ariel and Rune?” Master asked.

“They in their rooms resting.” Serina replied.

“Oh, let’s have lunch call them all.” Master said.

Alec, Mei, Sharon and Grim enter from the door. Seems like they finished their quests.

“Hey Alec, Mei, Sharon, Grim come here.” I said while waving at them.

“Hey seji! Master!! And everyone! Hiii!” Mei said.

Mei and Alec look fine, but Sharon and Grim look tired.

“Hey Seji. Hello Master. And hello everyone.” Alec said.

“Hello- Seji and others.” Sharon and Grim said while collapsing on chairs.

“Right at time. We were going to eat lunch. Go wash hands and join.” Serina said.

Hearing about lunch, Sharon and Grim got excited and went fast to wash their hands.

“YES MAM!” Sharon and Grim said and ran to wash hands.

“Alright.” Alec and Mei said and went to wash hands.

Egan, Ariel and Rune were coming down. So was Isabell.

“Heyyyy you guys!!!” Isabell said to Egan, Ariel and Rune.

“HIIIIIII ISABELL!!” Ariel said.

“Oh hey Isabell.” Egan and Rune greeted.

“When you guys came back?” Isabell asked.

“We should ask when you came back!” Ariel said.

“Just awhile ago. Dragnia is sleeping in his room. I’ll take his lunch up stairs.” Isabell said.

“Oh man! I wanted to spar him.” Egan said.

“You and your spars.” Rune said.

“Yeah ahahaha" they started laughing except Egan.

“Jeez, it's between dragons. You people won't understand.” Egan said.

“Fine, Let’s go down first.” Ariel said to Egan.

“Okay okay.” Egan said.

They came down and sat on chairs for lunch.

“I can smell the food. It seems tasty. Bring it fast Serina!!” Egan said.

“Bringing!” Serina replied.

Alec, Mei, Sharon and Grim came back from washing hands and sat down with us.

They greeted each other.

And Master said.

“After lunch. 1-hour break, and then we do training. Egan, you will come with me and Seji. Ariel you train Alec and Rune you will teach Mei.”

“Sounds fun to be, Gramps. Just let me spar you both.” Egan replied.

“For sure.” Master replied to Egan.

“Alright, Master." Ariel and Rune said.

“But, Master. I’m a demon. Don’t you think a demon should teach me?” Alec asked.

It seems Alec don’t remember anything about angel and demon. Maybe seal also forbids memory which can provoke it.

“Don’t worry. I actually checked your Magic. I saw Light Magic Attribute almost same as Dark Magic Attribute in you.” Master made an excuse to Alec.

“Oh, I see. I don’t remember when I last time checked my magic attribute. But I’ll check later.” Alec replied.

“Don’t worry, Alec. Master actually checked. I believe his Dexterity with Magic is better than both of us.” I said trying to convince Alec.

“If you say so.” Alec replied.

Me and Master sighed with relief. And Ella comes down stairs.

Egan looks at her, and said, “WOIIII ELLA!! HERE HERE!”

“Oh, you are back.” Ella said and came to table.

“Hiiii Elllaaaaa!! Missed you so much!!” Ariel said to Ella.

“Hi Ella.” Isabell said to Ella.

“Oh you are back too. Welcome back you all.” Ella said.

“GRAMPS!! YOU DIDN’T CALL ME FOR LUNCH! AND DIDN’T TELL ME THAT EGAN WAS BACK TOO!” Emilia shouted. She’s again in her orb form and floats towards us. She changed to human form and looks at Egan and says, “Egan...” while she was staring at him.

Egan stares Emilia back and stood up and said, “Emilia..”

Egan walks towards Emilia. And Emilia walks towards Egan.

“You are....” She said while walking.

Emilia jumps towards Egan and said, “BACKKK!!!! BIG BROTHERRRR!! MISSED YOU!!! HOW ARE YOUUUU?”

Egan hugs her and says, “GOOD AS ALWAYS MY LITTLE SISTERRRR!! HOW ARE YOU!?!”

“I AM GOOOD TOO!!”

“Ahahaha, Let’s have lunch okay. I’ll tell you tale about that big dragon we had to kill.” Egan said while walking with Emilia towards table.

Me , Alec and Mei are shocked. I thought they will fight or something but instead, they are much more lovey-dovey. But what he meant by little sister?

“Hey Gramps. Is Emilia Egan's sister?” I asked Master.

“No, not by blood. But, Egan treats her like a little sister, and She treats her like a big brother.” Master replied.

“Ah, I see.” I said.

The lunch comes, and we started eating lunch. As always it was delicious. It was quite a lot of food though.

“Hey hey, Big brother, tell me about tale.” Emilia said to Egan.

“Ok let’s eat first. Then come in my room, I’ll tell you.” Egan replied.

“Master, May you come to my room after lunch too?” Egan asked.

“For sure.” Master replied.

“You too, seji.” Egan said.

“Y-yes.” I replied.

We finished lunch and as Egan called me and master we went to his room. While we were walking upstairs I asked Master, “Gramps, Why he called me?”

“I'm pretty sure he has something to talk about." Master replied.

“Okay.”

We are in his room now. Emilia was sitting on bed with Egan. He seems to be telling her story from the quest.

“We are here, Egan.” Master said.

“Ah, Yeah. It’s about black robe guy.” Egan said.

“What about him?” Master asked.

“You see, I told you the rumor of black robe guy? I heard from Serina that, Seji faced off with a black robe guy. I want to know more about him.” Egan asked.

Serina, fills everyone in with information: I see.

“Well, I tried to attack him with my black spear attack. But he deflected it like it was nothing.” I said.

“And what more?” Egan asked.

“I didn’t tell this before, but he also said, He works for an underworld God called Delbrus. Well, he didn’t actually say it directly but, Myst, The father of Mei had mentioned only One name of Underworld god to me. My guess is he was talking about him. But other than that. I don’t think I have a clue who is he.” I said.

“I see. Delbrus. I’ll try to figure out anything during the upcoming meeting.” Master said.

“That could help. Oh also, Miss Ella said there’s a fairy who’s been showing illusions to Alec to tamper his memory.” I said.

“Yea, I heard from Serina. ” Egan said.

“I see.” Master replied.

“Oh, Also, if you want, I can get help from Dragon king to understand about that seal. But, I’ll need to spar him for info. Dragons are fighting addicts, You see.” Egan said.

“Uhhh, I think we should wait for Master to have the meeting first.” I said.

“Yea, Wait for meeting. Once it’s done. We should be able to know something. But, I’ll need to talk with king in alone for ‘Another world’ thing.”

“Eh, Seji, you from a different world?” Emilia asked.

“Yes. I am.” I said.

“Then tell me stories! I love stories.” She said.

“For sure! Little Emilia.” I replied.

“Awe!! Be my big brother too then!” She said to me.

“I love to have a little sister too!” I said to her in joy.

“Yay! Another big brother!” She said.

“Ohohoho but I’m better one.” Egan said in joy. And continues, “Oh, Another world reminds me. I’ve heard that a guy appeared in the city of Glouester says that he is also from a different world."

“Glouester?!?!” I said in shock.

“Why are you shocked?” Egan asked me.

“No nothing. Someone mentioned me that before. But they said that they aren’t sure.” I said while explaining how Irwin had mentioned the city's name to me before.

“Oh, I don’t know for sure though. I just heard it from some people.” Egan said.

“Well, it’s still a good lead to have. I’m pretty sure king will hook me up with something for this.” Master said.

“Yeah. Right.” I replied.

“Anyways, Emilia. Did you find anything suspicious on your quest?” Master said.

“What was the quest?” Egan asked.

“I was wondering the same.” I replied.

“I’m not much good at battling. I usually infiltrate places. And this time it was a little infiltration on towns where Prince of Niuinaire will be walking by. Need to make sure his safety. Of course other adventurers from top guilds were also participating in this mission with me.” Emilia said.

“I see. Nothing suspicious?” Master asked.

“Not in the town I was infiltrating.” Emilia said.

“I see. Then our work Is done. And Seji. Are you leaving for Glouester?” Master asked.

“Well, It’s still rumour so I don’t know. “ I said.

“I think you should. I’ll see which quest is nearest to Glouester. Then you can check out Glouester after Quest. And Prince should be arriving tomorrow night. It's better if you leave tomorrow. By the time you come back I might have found some things too. What do you say? Seems good?” Master asked me.

“I think it does make up for a good plan.” I replied.

“alright then. We are going for training right now. Emilia, call Rune, Mei, Alec, Ariel.” Master said.

“Alright!” Emilia replied and went to call them.

They come in Egan's room.

Master said, “It’s time for training!”

And we went outside again in fields.

Master said, “Watch Egan and me.”

“Don’t hold back Gramps. Because I won't.” Egan said.

“I don’t want you to hold back either.” Master said.

“Let’s go then.” Egan said with a smile on his face.

Egan takes his fighting stance and Red Flames start forming around his body.

“Dragon's Wrath form. It’s not fully complete yet, is it? But, seems like you getting better.” Master said.

“Yea, I can’t use full, or we will blow away these fields completely. Nor I want to be into Dragon form.” Egan said.

“That’s true. Ahaha" Master said.

“Be ready , Gramps.” Egan said with joy.

“Stand back.” Rune said.

We all went back.

Master takes his fighting stance and a black energy surrounds master. It’s different from Egan's. It’s much more calm and in control. Going around master in perfection without breaking its position. Unlike Master, Egan's Fire was messy. Like anger. Maybe that’s why he called that wrath form.

“What’s wrath form?” I asked Rune.

“It’s Egan's powerful form in short. He just named it wrath form.” Rune said.

“I see.” I replied.

Their powers get bigger and then vanish. They are back to base form, and now they start.

Egan is running towards master. Egan tries to land a kick right in Master's face from left. But master defends himself with left hand and a lot of flames comes out from Egan's feet and burns the ground behind master.

“Nice try.” Master said.

“Not yet. That wasn’t my intention." Egan said with smile and brings his right leg and tries to kick in face of master from below But, Master backs off leaving Egan’s left leg. Egan back flips from his kick's force and lands on his feet.

“Almost got me there. Looks like I really need to be a bit more serious.” Master said.

“Yes, you do.” Egan said.

Seeing them I think: he stopped that strong kick with his one hand, and he wasn’t even serious yet.

“CRIMSON FLAME!” Egan enchants and a big fire beam goes towards master at high-speed.

Master just puts his hands like a chop and cuts the spell from middle.

“I SEE, NOW YOU'RE GETTING SERIOUS GRAMPS! LET’S GO!” Egan said.

Egan runs towards master. His hands and feet are enveloped by fire. Egan does a kick jump but misses. Right after that, he joins his hands and tries to hit master on his back while Egan was still in air. Master jumps in air and punches Egan in his belly and throws him in ground. Egan tries to maintain his balance, but barely manages to maintain balance! The ground gets burnt.

Master jumps back, and Enchants his first spell, “WRATH OF WATER!” two big waves of water appears with which master seems to try to attack Egan. He moves them with his hand movements. Rotating, Revolving, Speed etc All with his hands! Egan tries to dodge the water waves!

He dodges water waves and charges for MASTER!

Egan is running towards but right then enchants, “WRATH OF FIRE!” two big flames of fire appear and Egan tries to catch Master in middle of them. Flames are coming from both sides for master. MASTER JUMPS ABOVE! He enchants “Air balance! And now to finish your flames off, DEAD LOCK OF SEA!” Master shouted that he stays in air with air magic. While at Ground he makes a full sea appear around Egan.

A square block of water captures Egan. But its around 50 or 60 feet (ca. 18 m) high from ground, and Egan was at bottom of it. We can see mist coming from water. Maybe it put out His flames.

“Did Master got him?” Mei asked.

“Nope. Look at mist. And wait.” Rune said.

Bubbles were coming up from the water. And a lot of mists started to appear from the water. In just an instant, every single water particle turns into WATER VAPOR!?!

I can hear Egan screaming, “ARGHHHHHHHH!!!!”

His fire was still surrounding him. His flames were still not put out. Instead, they were burning more than before. Egan brings out his Dragon wings. And flies in air.

“He’s a monster.” I muttered.

“You haven’t seen anything. They are holding back a lot right now.” Ariel said.

“Yes, you haven’t seen big brother or master mad yet. They are scary when they are mad.” Emilia said.

“ I see. I want to be like them.” I said.

“You have long way to go.” Rune said.

“I know that. But I’ll be like them soon.” I said.

“Yea I believe you, big brother! Look they having conversation above.” Emilia said.

We look up and Master, and Egan were standing in air idle.

“It's shame. We have to hold back.” Egan said.

“Indeed. But let’s continue for now.” Master said.

“Here I come then, GRAMPSSS!!”

They started fighting in air.

Fire punches, kicks are rapid and master is attacking back rapidly. His hands and legs are covered with black skin. He's using Magic skin to protect his skin from burning.

They are fast enough that our eyes can’t keep up with their moves. But they are getting slower. They get to a distance and start firing spells at each other. “CRIMSON BOMBS!” Some fire balls go towards Master and Master uses “WATER BOMBS!” to counter them. It’s all mist.

Egan tries to take advantage of mist and Enchants, “CRIMSON RAIN!”

A Red cloud starts to form in the sky, and fire starts falling at high-speed. Taking advantage of this fire, Egan enchants, “BREATH OF DRAGON. CRIMSON FIRE RAGE!!!” A Large flame in shape of Dragon's mouth targets Master in mist and drags Master down to ground with it.

They impact on ground. A 5 feet (1.52 m) or more crater forms on ground. The impact gave us a shock too. Egan comes down on his feet. And asks, “I won this Time? Gramps?”

“Nope.” A voice comes below the dust. Its MASTER!

“I have to say, I would have died if I wasn’t careful.” Master said.

He’s standing on the ground.

“Tch!”

“Now my turn.” Master said.

Black mana surrounds master.

“Ground Zero.” Master enchants in low voice.

The ground turns black.

“Not this again..” Egan said with whimper.

“This again?” I asked myself.

“Yes, Master have defeated Egan with this technique many times. Just wait and watch.” Ariel said.

“And now, The technique I learned from seji. DARK SPEAR!” Master shouted.

Dark spears appear from the ground. And they are fast. They scratch Egan a few times, and master stops one in face of Egan.

“Do you wish to continue?” Master asked.

“Fine, I lost this time again. But next time I’ll beat you!” Egan said.

“Alright then good luck ahahahaa" Master laughed it off.

“That was awesome both of you!” Alec said to them.”

“Yes, It was completely awesome.” Mei said.

“You have improved.” Ariel said to Egan.

“Thank you, Ariel. But I still lost. ILL BEAT YOU NEXT TIME GRAMPSS!!” Egan shouted.

“Sure ahaha.” Master replied.

“Awe, Brother you did great.” Emilia said to Egan.

“Yea no joke. You were awesome man.” I said to Egan.

“Master your technique, Dark spear. It was quite good I have to say.” Rune said to Master.

“Yes, Seji showed me how to do it first. I just made it strong.” Master said.

I just had copied a move from game. The moves they show me, were completely at a different level than dark spear, or any other skill in games.

“You made dark spear something else. It was way too strong.” I said.

“Yeah. When compared to seji's. It looks way more stronger.” Alec said.

“Anyways, Let’s continue with your guys training now. Rune teach Mei, Blood control. She’s blood control vampire too. Half though. And Ariel, teach Alec Light Magic.” Master said.

“YES SIR!” They replied.
