《With You It's Not So Bad》Chapter 1: Tomorrow, we’ll meet again.
Advertisement
Total quietness, interrupted by my bed making a soft creaking sound, making the full dark room slightly more lively.
The feeling of dread filled my head. Another night where I can’t sleep. Will it ever stop?
The sweat I woke up with made me open up the window. As I opened it, the cold wind welcomed me. The clear night sky full of stars invited me outside. I accepted it.
I was slowly taking in the view as I was walking down the street. As it was 3 a.m., no street lamp disrupted the experience. There was a smell of rain making the experience even better.
As I lived on the outer skirt of a city, the only lights breaking up the darkness are some houses I occasionally pass by.
As I continued to walk, the view gradually decreased to satisfy me.
Why did I go outside, anyway?
To experience something special?
Yeah, that won’t happen.
I turned around and slowly walked back from where I came from. I took a last glance at a hill where you could spot a bench, even in the dark.
Yeah, something like that does not happen. I gotta go back to home and try to fall asleep.
And then, just as I was looking away, the street lamps started to glow up one after another. And when the final street lamp on this street lightened up, there was a girl.
Surprised, we stared at each other for a minute. She broke a smile at me. Feeling the warmth of her even this far away on a breezy summer night, I slowly approached her.
“Hey.”
“Hey.”
I looked away.
Was I always this shy?
When I looked at her again, the details of her started to kick into my consciousness. Bright long yellow hair. Fair, white skin. Blue eyes. Slightly smaller than me. A… sailor’s uniform?

Meanwhile, as I was thinking about whether to ask her why she would wear her sailor’s uniform, she surprised me by taking my hand.
“Do you trust me?”
“Y–Yeah.”
“Hm… You trust others easily, huh?”
“N-Not really.”
She turned her head only so slightly but I thought a small smile peeked from her.
“By the way… what’s your name? Mine is Melo.”
The warmth of her hand made me nervous. I thought I could break the ice by asking her name.
“My name is Emiko.”
“So you’re Japanese? Is that your school uniform?”
“Yeah. There’s an international summer school in this city.”
“Huh. I didn’t know.”
She led me to a bridge. Surprisingly, the lantern lights were still not on near it.
The bridge was built over a small stream. The water reflected the shining stars. Next to the stream, you could see various kinds of flowers. One of them was giving off a sweet smell through the air, mixing it alongside the scent of rain.
“Beautiful.”
“Isn’t it?”
“I mean you, Emiko.”
She blushed. Her hand grip tightened for a second.
“D-Do you mean it?”
“Yeah.”
As if it was a signal for the end of today, the street lamp near the bridge turned on.
We both looked at each other. We didn’t even need to say it. We understood.
Tomorrow, we’ll meet again.

Windwalker
Having subdued its surrounding enemies, the former Sulic Empire is faced with unrest brewing from within. Society is torn in two. The reigning mentalists constantly persecute the subjugated elementals under the pretence of curbing the explosive potential of their destructive powers. Meanwhile, schemes and political interests clash as different groups within the Governance military elite vie for control. And in the shadows, Sulic’s old enemies have been lying in wait a long time, looking for the first sign of weakness to make their move. Against this backdrop, two ordinary individuals fight to maintain stability from opposing sides: a low ranking telepathic recruit with nothing to his name but good intentions, and an unregistered elemental contractor with a murky past. Can they reconcile their differences and help steer Sulic away from tearing itself apart? Windwalker explores themes of societal struggle and self-discovery. Book One: Rising Wind Kal has trained to be a soldier his entire life. His days are simple, and his duties clear: enforce the rules, upkeep the peace, and most important — police the elementals. If they step out of line, the Governance system corrects it. But when Kal encounters a young boy whom he suspects might be an illegal earthborn, he can’t bring himself to report him. Despite his training and the advice of friends, he decides to help him onto what he believes is the right path. This choice lands him in more trouble than he bargained for, and he soon discovers that the veneer the Governance is built upon an ugly and crumbling foundation.

The Blight
Ten years ago, the Blight appeared. A beautiful forest, where the leaves and animals glowed brilliantly at night. It became a wonder of the entire world, and people began venturing from across the continent to visit it. No one took it any more seriously than that, not in the beginning. Then the disappearances started. At first, it was just farm animals and pets. Then, hunters and travelers close to dusk. By the time children started disappearing from villages, it was too late to do anything. The Blight was spreading, from tree to tree like a sickness, crawling out in all directions. The animals and beasts inside it changed as well. They grew larger, stronger, and more ferocious than anything seen before. Simple farm animals became horrific monsters, distorted to disgusting proportions and violently spreading chaos out from the forest. When the first reports came in of infected animals dragging people alive off into the forest... then the real panic began. Towns fell to the Blight, then cities. Armies were sent to push it back, and were overrun. Heroes and legends ventured out, to no avail. Soon, it was public knowledge to all: Those who entered the forest, never returned. ...So what happens when a young boy comes out of the forest, carrying nothing but a dagger and remembering nothing but his own name?
