《There's a Beauty: Seer of Deception》Into the unknown

"Wake up young lady. It is time for your adventure to start"
Shifting in her sleep, Yuri's eyes slowly fluttered open as she suddenly jolted up awake and sat down exclaiming, "How long have I been asleep?!"
Laughing at her sudden outburst, Hilda answers her with a smile, "Don't worry, you've only been asleep for a couple of hours. There's still a lot of time for you to enjoy your 3 days leave"
Suddenly recalling how she has been tricked by Hilda before, informing her that it would only last for 'a second' yet here she was asleep for 'a couple of hours', Yuri suddenly feels a bit betrayed as she firmly asked, "Can I finally leave now?"
Dismissing Yuri's resentment, Hilda responds, "Yes you can but I suggest that you use the back door instead of the building's entrance"
One after another, questions were raised inside of Yuri's mind as she turned to ask Hilda, obviously confused as her eyes were wide open as a plate while she speak, "All this time…There has been a back door in this building?!"
Blinking, Hilda was suddenly taken aback by Yuri's reply, querying in astonishment, "That's what you were confused about?"
"Yes!"
At once, Hilda was utterly speechless for a split second.
This child is really shameless… But I do admire her bravery and determination… Even so, I must admit, having courage is great but that… That isn't the only thing that this child must have in order to survive… Instead, she must first learn how to lift herself up from the mud before she would be able to walk the 'true' way of the world right now.
After a short period of silence, Hilda finally spoke up again, asking, "Don't you have any other specific questions? Such as about why you must take the back door?"

"Of course I was also confused about that…"
Letting out a "pfft!" sound, Hilda restrains herself from laughing out loud as she answered Yuri's previous statement, saying, "Then, if you are confused about that, I'll gladly answer it for you"
At once, Yuri agrees with Hilda's words as she bobbed her head up and down in approval, saying, "Yes, please do so"
Standing up from her seat, Hilda walks a straight beeline towards the doorway, beckoning Yuri to also do so as she said, 'Sure thing, let's talk about it on our way"
"Ok…"
As Hilda and Yuri trudged through a narrow hallway, Hilda was the first to speak up, explaining, "Since you have been asleep for too long, it is not advisable for you to leave the building by the front entrance. This information…is something that the contract doesn't clearly disclose to in hindsight. Although there is a short passage on the contract that explains this information, the passage itself doesn't inform the applicant of the specific details of this one exception in the entire Sweet Haven contract. In fact, this exception is a law that is personally made by Latchna Lovick Michael that even your department manager won't be able to warn you upfront of. The truth is, when an employee requests for a 3 days leave, that employee only has a time limit of 1 hour to finish the body inspection, and since you have slept for 5 hours, if you use the entrance now, Michael would be instantly informed that an employee has breached the 1 hour limit and the contract would automatically activate to CODE S."
"CODE S? Why are there so many codes when activating the contract? ...First it was only a D and now there's also an S?"
Letting out a hearty laugh at Yuri's innocent queries, Hilda replies, "There are so many contract activating codes that I haven't even mentioned yet. In fact, I've barely even scratched the surface… Nonetheless, since you've already asked for it, I'd answer it for you now. What CODE S stands for is CODE STOP"

"And CODE STOP means?"
Hilda thinks for a moment before she replies, "STOP the contract wielder's heart"
That… doesn't sound much different with CODE D…
"Ah, we're here."
Appearing in front of a black void, Hilda explains to Yuri, "This is the secret back door of Sweet Haven Company, a space tunnel void that's been made by a great spell caster. Using a space tunnel void is faster than any transportation in the whole continent of Freyja. If you haven't used a space tunnel void before, then let me tell you this as a sign of good will. Once you've entered the space tunnel void, the flow of time inside will be much slower than it is outside. Don't worry; there won't be any spatial beasts inside like those common space tunnel voids that you were taught in elementary school. Those kinds of voids are the 'wild rifts' that are naturally created by nature and are filled with spatial beasts but I assure you that this one in front of us is different. It is safe to use so do not stray from the path that you have chosen. Believe in yourself and a door will appear before you once you've reached the end."
"A space tunnel void as a back door…?"
For a moment, Yuri looked at the black void with a doubtful look.
Although Hilda is indeed the head of security of Sweet Haven Company, the existence of a rare kind of space tunnel void that she was talking about… Even if I knew that she was telling me the truth, it would still have been too hard for me to not think that she may just be bluffing, since rare things like these would not have been disclosed with only a mere head of security… A rare kind of space tunnel void with no spatial beasts that has also been specifically made by a great spell caster… This is totally unheard of and would have been considered as a divine treasure that not even the department managers would have been able to use yet here I was with Hilda, about to cross worlds and seek the 'path' that my father have longed for when he was still alive.
... Father I cannot see the future ahead of me… I cannot judge if I am doing the right thing or if I were about to lead myself to the end of me.
Father... I hereby call onto the 'path' that you have seen and may the heaven's blessings be upon me.
Stepping foot inside the black void, Yuri faced unto the barrier that separates the real world from outside to the space tunnel void that pushed her figure away with a tough force and a harsh breeze of air, making her long dark locks flutter from behind her.
"AHHHH!!!!"
Exerting every ounce of strength that she could muster, Yuri felt as if her skin was ripping apart, as she pushed through the barrier until her figure finally disappeared unto the other side.
At that moment, as Yuri crossed over and Hilda quietly watched from the sides with a sad smile, a silent voice was lastly heard before Yuri has completely disappeared saying, "All taboos are off and all evil withdraws"

8 206A Grand Journey
A journey of a lifetime should last a life time. Melphis Hargold would happily spend as much time moving from place to place as possible. It was a simple calling, but quickly becomes not so simple. Mel loved breaking trail, moving away from the beaten route to find something new or interesting. Of course, a very signifcant part of the time that leads to problems as well. But with his class and skills, he should have no problems wandering around to his hearts content. This story has a loose plot, mostly focused on exploring novel locations and the simple pleasures of traveling. If your interested in reading about strange locations and meeting even stranger people, Melphis's travels will not disapoint. The first few chapters will be a bit slow as he goes from place to place without going anywhere too extraordinary. This story will be more of a slow burn tale rather than a fast pace power crawl. I hope you enjoy! Schedule will be Monday, Wednsday, and Friday uploads.
8 181Lost souls: Road to Godhood (Isekai) [Writathon Participant]
In a world where mages stand above nobles and even the law, it's not surprising that everyone wants to learn magic. Luz and his brothers are no different. However, their peaceful lives are shattered when a dragon attacks their village. Left with no choice, Luz uses a forbidden spatial spell to save his brothers. The consequences are not pretty--he and his brothers are scattered across different realms. Luz will have to travel to places unknown to reunite his family and gain enough power to take vengeance on the dragon. Armed with a single spell that he can only cast once before his magic reserves are depleted, Luz has his work cut out for him. Being the oldest is never easy. Author note: Please be warned as the book won't be what you might expect since the early chapters of my work are more of a slice of life of an MC, trying to adjust to his new life rather than slaying monsters left and right from the get-go with accelerated growth cheat and missions given by a goddamn system that forges your path, since everyone knows: an MC needs a system that tells one how to move forward. That was a long sentence. Also, some of you might consider my chapter titles as clickbaity, while others like me might consider them: not boring titles, hehehe.
