《The World isn't as Ugly nor Beautiful as You Think》Pressure

He is still giving Alfi a cold gaze. Alfi feels something strange coming from that guy. His gaze is chilling as if he is the real depiction of what we know as Death. Alfi feels intimidated by his cold gaze. He can't say anything, regardless he has such a shitty mouth. I feel so satisfied that I could shut the shitty mouth of his up. Well, moving on, Alfi does feel intimidated by the guy's presence. Is it what they call love?
"Hey!" Alfi yelled at me.
"What?" I asked. "Can't you see that I am busy writing this narration after a long hiatus?" I added.
"You can say that you are on hiatus as you set this chapter to be published on March 3rd, 2018, whereas the truth is you are skipping class so that you can write this chapter as you can't shoulder your responsibility as the leader of the seminar organizer, and not to mention that you haven't finished your field observation report, right?" Alfi insulted me.
"Can't you stop spilling the beans? Don't tell them about my business, will ya?!" I asked him irritated.
"I guess they love it," Alfi replied.
"Whatever, back to work," I ordered.
"Wait, why the hell did you make such narration? That's disgusting!" Alfi exclaimed irritated.
"What? Did you forget that the novel's genre is comedy? I am sure that all of our readers including the fujoshis will love it. Probably they will ask me to make an interlude about the romance between you and the guy. Not to mention that you are a perfect sample for me to bully." I explained calmly.
"Hell no! I'd rather marry Megumi till the rest of my life!" Alfi denied.
"Don't worry, I understand your feeling. Chill out." I persuaded him.
"Then? Why did you make a character like him in the first time?" Alfi asked irritated. "Oh, I get it, he must be just a minor character, right? You will have me to kill him brutality, right?" He added.
"I planned to, but..." I said.
"But?" Alfi asked.
"You know, I also hate such character; handsome, introvert, strong, mighty, etc. I do hate such character as it makes the women admire such a man that they probably will end up being single till their death." I sighed.
"That's right! His presence makes the fujoshis ignore my presence and I don't wanna it happens on this novel!" Alfi sighed.
"That's why I picked a useless guy like you as the protagonist. I want to change their mindset which thinks that handsome guys are kind that they forget that most of them are ruffians. I will show the world that the most useless man like you has a chance to be noticed!" I explained with a high spirit.
"I am rooting for you, Desope!" Alfi exclaimed. "Wait, what?!" He added after coming back to his senses.
"But, what do we do? I have put this shitty guy. Killing him will make the fujoshis angry instead." I thought confused.

"What if we make his image go bad?" Alfi suggested me.
"Good idea!" I hold Alfi's hand.
"I'll do my best!" Alfi tightened his grip.
'No!!!!' Mitsuha yelled behind me.
We both remain silent.
'He must stay in this novel! Isn't it unfair if the novel only gives fan service for boys while it doesn't give any fan service for girls? For your information, the ones who judge a book by its cover is the real humans of inferior!' Mitsuha explained.
"Why didn't you fight her?" Alfi whispered to me.
"I can't, I mean I don't want to," I replied.
"Oh, afraid of wife eh?" Alfi tempted me.
"Just keep tempting me. I will never hurt my own wife. No matter how obnoxious she is, I will keep loving her. I am afraid of her because I am afraid of hurting her." I replied.
"I feel both impressed and bad. I dunno why." Alfi replied.
'I married a useless man like him because he is loyal and a hard worker. Which means, he will do anything to please me, as he loves me so much.' Mitsuha added.
"Mitsuha..." I felt down after hearing that.
"Some romance," Alfi said in sarcasm.
"Shut up," I said irritated.
"Do you still love her?" Alfi asked.
I just nod slowly. "Once I love her, I will always love her and make her the happiest woman in the world," I said.
'Just kidding honey, there, there.' Mitsuha persuaded me as she embraces me and kisses my forehead gently.
"Love is fearsome, eh?" Alfi said in goosebumps. "I don't want to disturb you guys, so I should go back to my world. See you." He added jumping back to my book.
'Who are you?' Alfi asked the guy.
The guy is still silent while keeping gazing Alfi coldly.
'Answer me!' Alfi yelled at him.
He still remains silent.
"What's wrong with him? He did help me back then, but is he on our side? I don't have enough Iru to fight him as I did spend a great amount of my Iru for defeating Wira, yet I can't let them fight this guy. What do I do?" Alfi thought.
Suddenly, he raises his right arm and swings it downwards quickly that a wind sword appeared on his grasp. He then points his sword to Alfi.
'Alfi!' Kartika exclaimed alarmed.
Alfi extends his right arm and summons his Iru arm. "I don't have any idea what this guy is up to, but I won't let him lay a finger on my friends!' Alfi exclaimed.
Alfi is about to punch that guy. That guy uses his wind sword to block Alfi's fist. Then the guy swings it that Alfi's arm disappears.
'Wh... What happened?!' Koji asked surprised.
'That sword... It's not an ordinary sword. So he can manipulate wind that he can make a sword which is able to cut his opponent's Iru circulation as if a wind slashing a leaf.' Cakra explained shocked.
'It means, Alfi is cornered.' Kartika said worriedly.

'The sword can cut anything made of Iru, in fact, he can abolish me. What a terrifying weapon.' Cakra added.
'Wh, What happened?! My arm! What happened to my arm?!' Alfi screamed in panic.
'Don't worry...' The guy said at least. 'I just cut your Iru circulation, but what if I cut your blood circulation?' He added calmly.
'What?! Do you want me to kill you?!' Alfi yelled irritated.
'Can you?' He asked provoking Alfi.
Wait, why did I make Alfi's image even worse? Never mind, he deserved it anyway.
'What?!' Alfi enraged.
A silver smoke appears from Alfi's body and it gets thicken and more thicken.
'What is this "saving the world" deal? A weakling like you will never be able to protect this world. Ah, don't talk about the world, your friends will die if you protect them, or at least try to protect them. What a vain.' He keeps provoking Alfi.
The smoke gets thicker even more that Alfi's Iru arm reappears. Megumi comes out from his bracelet and she sees Alfi berserk face.
'What is he doing?!' Kartika asked worriedly.
'I don't know either, but we have to stay alert!' Koji said with his hand on the grip of his sword on his back. 'Get ready boys!' Koji commanded his crews.
'Yes, sir!' They responded getting their swords ready.
'Honey? Are you alright?' Megumi asked worriedly.
'Megumi, weapon number 5!' Alfi exclaimed.
'But honey, you are not fully recovered yet.' Megumi warned him worried.
'I don't care! I can't let him lay a single finger on my friends! I may be weak, but I will never give up!' Alfi exclaimed.
'Just keep barking.' The guy provokes Alfi.
'Megumi! Weapon number 5!' Alfi exclaimed.
Megumi then presses the halation number 5 and a pair of brown rolling blades appear. Megumi throws them into the air and Alfi jumps so high. The blades are set to both of his legs by themselves.
'Oh, is that your weapon? Using rollerblades to fight me? What an insult.' He said.
Alfi then runs very fast that his legs look like brown flash driving very fast. When Alfi has reached that guy, he launches a fast kick barrage to the guy that the guy has no time to use his sword to block the assault that he is shoved and tumbled not too far.
'He did it!' Cakra exclaimed.
"For his friends eh? Such a simple reason has made him this strong... He is such a nice guy." Kartika thought blushed.
'Get up!' Alfi exclaimed.
That guy is as far as to get up and get his sword. He then says, 'Don't get so cocky after giving me such a blow.'
'Oh yeah? This time I'm about to give you a single kick.' Alfi said running around that guy very fast.
Because of the speed, Alfi looks like a black ring spinning around that guy. That guy then puts a stance by pointing his sword straight to the front. Later, he feels that his sword is shoved by something solid which is Alfi's leg that his stance is almost broken. The guy is trying to hold his stance, but finally, his stance is broken.
'Weapon number 5: Sketor, a pair of rollerblades which make the user able to move very fast, especially his legs movement.' Alfi explained giving the guy the kick barrage. 'Cincin Hitam! (Black Ring)' Alfi exclaimed keep giving him the kick barrage that he is thrown to the air.
Alfi then jumps to the midair and points both of his legs to the guy.
'Take this! Roket! (Rocket)' Alfi exclaimed with his legs which now look like a double-edged spear that about to pierce that guy.
That guy is as far as to move his right arm and summons a wind sword. He then slashes that double-edged spear that Alfi falls down.
'That's enough! Attack!' Koji ordered running and unsheathing his sword followed by his crews towards that guy who is still on the midair. Arrgghhh! It's too hard to describe! The point is, he is still in the midair and not landed nor fallen yet. That's all. This makes me want to be able to make an animation.
The guy then lands as soon as possible. Koji and his crews are ready to attack that guy. The guy then spins with the edge of his sword slashing his surroundings. 'Bulan Purnama! (Full Moon)!' It makes a heavy typhoon which makes Koji and his crews hurled.
Herman keeps shooting his nails to the guy. That guy avoids those nails easily.
'I will never forgive you!' Herman enraged keep shooting his nails.
'You are open!' The guy exclaimed raising his sword. 'Ombak! (Wave)' He swings his sword that creates a gust of wind that pierces Herman's body that he is hurled and falls that he faints.
'How pathetic! Is he the one who is destined to protect the world?' The guy asked.
The guy approaches Alfi slowly. Koji is trying to reach his sword, but he has no stamina to do so. Now, he is ready to swing his sword to Alfi. Alfi just does nothing but closing his eyes.
'Goodbye Alfa, the world protector.' He said about to swing his sword.
But, suddenly Kartika is in front of him. She is standing there extending her arms to protect Alfi from that guy. Alfi opens his eyes. The guy holds his sword for no reason.
'Kartika... Why?' Alfi asked surprised.
'Enough already...' Kartika said dripping her tears. 'Please stop it!' Kartika enraged.
That guy puts his sword down, yet he doesn't let it go. He gives Kartika a cold gaze. Alfi looks shocked seeing Kartika protecting him.
'Alfi, you have been protecting me so far. Now, it's my turn to protect you.' Kartika said.
'Don't! He is way too strong!' Alfi warned her holding his pain.
'I'm sorry Alfi, I will fight him. I may be weak, but I will never give up!' Kartika exclaimed with her steamy blue Iru.

The Adventures Of Heegan, Bleegan, Hoogan, and Bloogan: The Search For The Enchanted Toad Of Delarmir
This is a tale of four young goblin brothers, whose adventures and calamities are told as legends and jokes throughout the land. But they were first inspired by legends they heard, before ascending into one themselves; a reminder that simple beginnings can be the start of something great. Written for my D&D 5e party after they demanded I write an actual story about a children's book they found in one of our sessions, so I wrote it as it would appear in game as a childrens story. I took a very different approach on writing it, so do not be too disappointed when you find out it's not written at first grade reading level. Feedback is much appreciated, as I have never produced anything like this and I do hope I manage to entertain at least a few of you. New chapter releases to be within 3-5 days of one another (Work is now complete, do not expect new chapters).
