《A Liliful World》Chapter 19. A Night not to Forget.

The two of us soon sat there in silence, looking at the meteor shower that covered the skies as the little girl ran around with a bright smile on her face before out of the blue, jumping towards us as Mana caught her intuitively.
“Mwana!” she said before snuggling onto Mana as she patted her hair with a gentle smile on her face. It was a face that I would never expect to see from the smelly girl, her face blushed pink and an adorable smile was all over her face.
After some time of snuggling, the energy bar on her body decreased as she slowly dozes off on Mana before falling dead asleep on her shoulder as Mana started patting her back, whistling a kind of melody that sounded peaceful and calming to listen to.
“London Bridge is falling down,” she started singing. Her voice was peaceful, soft; the melody of the song was super slow, she didn’t rush on the lyrics, but whispered it softly to the little girl as we stared at the glimmering skies.
After some time, she soon dozed off, resting on my shoulders as I grabbed the blankets on the side and covered both of them before smiling unconsciously as my hand weaved through her soft and silky hair.
There was an indescribable feeling rising inside of me. It felt burning, warm, it was like a happy sensation to be exact. I couldn’t comprehend what this emotion was, yet it felt super nice, whatever it may be… I still want to bask in it.
“To think that the two of you have moved this fast…” a silvery voice called from behind as I turned around before the white-haired beauty sat on the branch of the tree, smiling as she gazed at the three of us with a soft look.
The beauty was none other than the stupid Goddess whom I always swore to smack her head, Miu; she didn’t do anything at all but sat on the branch of the tree, looking at the three of us with a gentle motherly look.

“What are you up to again…?” I asked before she whistled around, kicking her feet in the air as she looked up at the skies.
“I don’t plan on doing anything at all. I never did,” she responded which made me confused before she added, “I never planned to do anything. It was all up to fate, whether the two stars merge as one or whether the two stars break apart.”
I was confused but decided to not take it to heart as I asked another question, “Say… this isn’t exactly Solis right?” before she nodded which confirmed my speculation that this was another variation of Solis and not the one I know of.
“To be exact, this world is Solis World which is a combination of Solis VR and Solis Simulation with a mix of love that I added,” she responded before hopping down from the branch as she walked in front of us with a smile.
“You did well up till now. Look at you, aren’t you smiling more often than before?” she said as I touched my face before heat rose up into me as she smirked, “It seems like you are enjoying this world more than ever.”
“Well, I will be answering some of your questions, since I feel like it today,” she added before a question rose inside my head as I asked.
“I won’t ask other than this one question, what is this emotion I am feeling?” I asked before she turned around and looked at the night skies as her figure glowed bright white like a fairy that was about to disappear.
“Do you really want me to answer it, or do you want to figure it out yourself?” she asked without turning back as I hesitated. I kind of already know what this emotion is but it feels too early, I don’t feel completely sure honestly.
“I am willing to answer it, but in my honest opinion, it is better to find it yourself and reassure yourself that what you are feeling will last for eternity,” she said turning around as I nodded before a smile blossomed on her face as her figure slowly vanished.

“Don’t worry, I will continue watching over you… after all, in exchange for all the Yuri you produce in this world, I will grant you the happiest moments in your lifetime,” her voice echoed as her figure slowly dissipated into thin air, almost as if she was never there from the start.
Soon after she vanished, white butterflies surrounded us as both Mana and the little girl woke up, looking around confused as a magnificent scene of butterflies, fireflies, and flowers surrounded us paired with the wondrous night sky.
“Do you want to head back now?” I looked at Mana and asked as she rubbed her eyes several times before nodding.
“How long did I fall asleep?” she inquired.
“It wasn’t that long, about fifteen minutes, maybe?” I replied before she looked at her watch, nodding before standing up whilst carrying the already awake girl on her arms before reaching out one hand towards me.
“Let’s head back, shall we?” she said as I grabbed her hand before she pulled mine as the two of us smiled at one another before slowly making our way back towards the school where the headmaster along with the vice headmaster stood there, waiting with bright smiles.
“To think that the two of you were chosen by the Spirit of the Forest, it truly is fate, don’t you think?” the headmaster said as she looked at the little girl with a gentle smile before Mana looked at her with both eyes wide open.
“The Spirit of the Forest, you mean the one that vanished a long time ago..?!” she shouted in surprise as the headmaster chuckled out loud, patting Mana’s back.
“The same spirit. That’s why that stupid blacksmith told you to not abandon her, but instead take her with you since the spirit is known to go wild if the person(s) she chooses were to ever leave her alone and even if all of us oldies were to contend with her, the chances of us winning is absolute zero,” she said as both of our faces paled.
I take back my words, this girl is not just a scarily cute monster, but an absolute demon hiding in a cute child’s clothing… what a monstrosity!
“Don’t worry, we already prepared everything for her! The two of you can head back to your dorm room for now and take a good nap, especially you!” she looked at me and smiled creepily at shivers ran through my spine.
Taking heed of her words, the two of us soon left the area with me being led by the headmaster as we headed to our dorm room which was a large beautiful air-conditioned room with guess what… one large bed… not two but ONE…
“I forgot to ask for two beds…” the headmaster said as she winked with her tongue out before pushing the two of us inside the room as she slammed the door, shouting from the outside, “Hope the two of you have a good sleep!”
I felt tricked… betrayed as both Mana and I looked at one another and sighed.
[author] Yes, this arc was about Mana's and Ayumi's relationship that will slowly form in the future.
The foundation has been laid out, all I can hope is for Mana to truly become the main heroine. I do think
they are moving fast, that's why I purposefully added another level to the relationship system to have them
develop out their relationship first before becoming a couple, the next arc will be a continuation of this.[/author]

8 80The Ancient Tree's Journey
On a planet far away from Earth, an ancient tree lives inside a beautiful forest. When the tree realises that its life is coming to an end, it creates a seed without a soul. The seed begins a long journey, being passed from person to person, until it finally collides with the soul of a girl from Earth and sprouts. With her human knowledge, the girl tries to survive in this world... as a tree. Note: This is my first time writing a novel, so my writing style might be a little rough around the edges sometimes, especially the first twelve are still amateur style. I'll probably rewrite them at some point... later perhaps. Also, the MC will be introduced in chapter 13. The first twelve chapters are more of an introduction to the world, so they bear little significance to the main story. Still, I recommend reading it if you want to get a better view of the world. Chapter releases once every four days.
8 321Memories of the Gluttonous Sage
Cain wakes up like any other day--well I guess it would be night now. He discovers that with the nocturnal life, very few options for food are available. As such, he orders food, follows his daily routine, then takes a nap. Only to find out it was no normal nap, but a transdimensional nap. He wakes up in an unknown world filled with many fantasy like features. However, unlike fantasy games, novels, and tv shows, this is real life. This fact just excites him all the more. Despite feeling scared, worried, or panic. He just feels... free. No longer bound by the rules of the previous world, he can finally chase his dream. His dream that others called absurd and even crazy. But who cares? To him, it was one of the very few things that will always be fun, no matter how much time passes. Boredom is an eternity spent in a second, an eternity he never wants to experience again. Even if it means passing time by mindlessly. Watch the journey of Cain as he explores the unknown, gets kicked out of a few restaurants for eating too much, hibernates (sleeps) for 14 to 24 hours, and wreaks havoc in this new world. No one shall restrict his freedom any longer, and to those who do, he'll annihilate the obstacles and use the people or organizations in ways we can't even begin to imagine.

8 108The legend of the sun guild.
Durning the age of darkness it was said that four people of great power were born. The first man of great might. Who hunted the monster and saw them as know more than a means to an end. He fought to simply feed his hungry for blood and power. He challenged both the heavens and the darkest depths of hell. He made the world know meaning of the word fear. He was a strongest swordsman of the world. During his time their were few who could say otherwise and by his end their was know to be only one who claimed to be his better. There were none who love the sword like him. And there would be none who his blade would love like him. They said that number did not matter to him. That all who face him blade would die without exception. They is a legend of him bringing death to an empire so he could claim the life of widow of a soldier who died of his own blade in the face death so that the sword man would not now the satisfactory of taking his life. They called him the sword of death. The second was a man of great rage. An noble avenger to the weak and and terror to the strong. He was a berserker but unlike most who would attempt to control they rage he would reveal in the through of it controlling him. He would streak across the battlefield ripping both friend and foe apart alike and he would do so with nothing but his bare hand. They called him an immortal they said the more be bleed the more his power would grow. And they spoke of the power to he he could trade his blood for death. They said that no mortal weapon could kill him and that he would rise to fight no matter the injury. There was a legend of him ripping off his own head and using it to club his enemies to death. They called him the immortal wrath. The third was a woman of madness and magic. She was a hated witch. They say that her only objects was to spread misery and hate. It said she lead many a good man from the right path to one of great evil just to she if she was capable of such things. Her experiments left only detestation in their wake as she tainted the lands in some way worse than the worse then the void or darkness ever could. Her magic was a foul and dangerous thing that saw all her enemy become her enemy. That she enter the territory of both the formed of order and the gods of Chao us would not go. That she played with the energy of the void. Legend speaks of a place where she corrupted the very darkness that that claim both the land and the people. Some say light would flee from her presence in fear of the shadows fate for that was her name she was the fate weaver. The forth was a man. He was simply known as… the hero of the world. But this is not his story. No this is a story that speak of the other three The unrelenting swords man The undying wrath The unquantifiable desire But it mainly speaks of their second life. For the age of darkness has long since pases and the age of fire is coming to a close. But as the age dies a new one must be born. ( the idea is that this story will be told from the perspectives of the bad guys. Their motives ,objectives, rise to power, struggles and what they want to achieve. But yes they are the ‘bad guys’ of the story it’s also probably important to note that for the time being it’s going to be written on my phone then edit later when I have the time and feel like it but you should probably think of whats here as a draft until further notice. )
8 74Släpp aldrig taget!
"Jag önskade du dog istället!" Orden sved. Mitt hjärta brast i tusen bitar och det som en gång varit en pulserande fabrik som alltid slagit dubbla slag vid synen av dig, rasade samman och stoppade mig från att kunna andas. Jag tog handen om mitt hjärta när det sista jag såg av dig var din rygg och det korta svarta håret vänt mot mig. Ensam lämnade du mig med sårande ord jag aldrig trodde du skulle säga. Jag trodde aldrig vi skulle komma till den här dagen, någonsin.Varför blev allt plötsligt så fel?
