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

Alfi, Megumi, and Varz are heading to the dining room. Alfi and Varz are taking a seat, while Megumi goes to the kitchen to cook.
'So, we just have dinner and take a short nap, and then fight the next boss.' Alfi said.
'Nope, we can take a rest all day long.' Varz said pointing upwards.
There is a white light forming "NEXT BOSS WILL RESPAWN IN 23:50:46" over them.
'Yup, it's a game.' Alfi said awkwardly. 'But, at least we can take a sleep for recovery.' He added.
Varz just nods.
'Anyway Varz..'
'What?' Varz asked.
'Do-'
Suddenly, Megumi comes with some waiters carrying a lot of delicious foods.
'Order up!' Megumi shouted.
'Thanks, honey, I'm starving.' Alfi said.
'You're very welcome, honey.' Megumi said taking a seat next to Alfi.
'Thank you.' Varz said.
'Huh!' Megumi averts her face from Varz.
'Megumi, you can't do that.' Alfi warned her.
'But, he almost killed you, honey. I will never make up with this guy.' Megumi exclaimed upset.
'I'm sorry.' Varz said. 'I know that you think that I'm pretending to be kind as I'm up to kill you when the time comes, but I can't blame you to think that way.' He added.
'So, you spilled the bean already, huh?' Megumi said grumpily.
'Come on, just giving him a chance won't hurt, right?' Alfi asked.
'Alfi, why do you defend me?' Varz asked.
'Because I was in your shoes. I also know how hard to start a new leaf and find a friend.' Alfi explained. 'People tend to remember one mistake over 1000 truths. Making a fuss on a little scratch over 1000 clear mirrors done. As a result, it's hard for them to forgive the corrupted who wants to be purified that they stay corrupted that the corruption itself kills him. I am sure that you are a nice person, and that's why I give you a chance to prove it.' He added.
Varz remains silent.
'Varz, I do know that the world is in chaos already. There's no justice, all that's left is corruption and greed. They are the ones that make me want to protect this world no matter what. I actually don't care about the others, but as they also live in this world, I have no choice but to protect this world, right? And, you are one of them whom I want to protect.' Alfi added.
'Alfi, actually....' Varz said.
'What?' Alfi asked.
'The reason why I attacked you before is that I envy you.' Varz said.
'Huh? What makes you envy me?' Alfi asked.
'It's because I...' Varz said hesitated.
'Please tell me Varz. What makes you envy me?' Alfi asked.
'It's because I love Kartika.' Varz answered.
Everything goes silent.
'I'm sure it's a misunderstanding. We are not in any relationship nor sort of it.' Alfi said panic.
'If that's true, I'll help you!' Megumi said in excitement.
'Looking forward to it!' Varz replied.
They both are holding hands and gazing at each other.
'You both are getting along already eh? Let go of your hand from my wife, you dumb ass!' Alfi said upset.
Varz lets go of his hands and says, 'I'm sure she hasn't told you about this.'
'Telling me about what?' Alfi asked wondering.
'You must know that she's the only one sent by our ancestors to find you for centuries. Believe me, she did it alone.' Varz said.

'Yeah, she told me that she is more than 1500 years old, she must have lied to me that such mission was given to her family.' Kata Alfi.
'Yes, If it were true, she would be with her family by now, right?' Varz said.
Alfi nods.
'Then, why was Kartika the only one sent to find you that she's alive by now?' Varz asked.
'I have no idea.' Alfi said.
'It's because she was fated to be with you. Your Highness Alfa! She's the one you will marry with.' Varz exclaimed.
Alfi is really shocked hearing what Varz has just said.
'Megumi, you must know about it, right?' Alfi asked agitatedly.
Megumi looks sad with teary eyes on her face. She doesn't say a thing but nods slowly.
'It's a fate, and it's final.' Varz said sadly.
Alfi is as far as to hug Megumi tightly. His tears are dropping from his eyes.
'Alfi?' Megumi sobbed.
'I don't care if it's a fate or anything. I just have to do my best to prove them wrong! My mission is to protect the world, not marry someone they chose for me.' Alfi sobbed.
'But, how about you? Do you love Kartika?' Varz asked.
Alfi lets off Megumi. He wipes Megumi's tears and strokes her hair gently. He then takes a seat and smiles at Megumi.
'How about me? I do.' Alfi said.
Varz and Megumi are shocked.
'She's beautiful and adorable. She's the woman that any guy will fall for. But, I have Megumi already and I will never betray her. I love everything about her, what she's good at and what she's bad at, and I guess it's enough.' Alfi explained.
'Alfi...' Megumi said smiling at Alfi.
Alfi draws Tipit from his bracelet and says, 'Varz, you must know what it is, right?'
Varz nods.
'Tipit requires a happy memory. If I reminisced a wrong memory, it will burn my hand. I lost my hand before as I reminisced about my precious days with Megumi. The burn I got that time looked like a sentence "Your Waifu doesn't exist, you asshole!"' Alfi explained.
Varz tries to hold to laugh.
'Then, when I watched Kartika fought against you, I accidentally reminisced the moment when I was with her, and suddenly I could use Tipit. I guess this weapon requires a memory about me with human, not the imaginary one.' Alfi concluded.
'So, what is Kartika for you?' Varz asked.
'I just love her as a friend. She is the one who makes me want to live longer. But, I guess I don't deserve her. I don't mind if you love her. I still have Megumi with me.' Alfi said smiling.
'But, what if she loves you?' Varz asked.
'No way. I mean, look at me. Ugly, un-horny-able body, pervert, poor. I just don't stand any chance, right?' Alfi said.
'Losing won't solve every problem. There's a moment where you have to think about yourself. I know that you said that just for pleasing me right? And you do love her, right?!' Varz exclaimed.
Alfi looks shaky.
'How about this?' Varz asked extending his arm. 'Let's compete to get her heart. We can use any method as long as it doesn't violate laws and morals. How?' Varz offered.
Alfi remains silent.
'Honey, it's OK. I'm sure you will choose the best for your own good.' Megumi said smiling at Alfi.
'Is that really OK? Megumi?' Alfi asked hesitated.

Alfi looks at Megumi's long face. Her teary face as if she doesn't want to let Alfi go for anyone.
'It's OK honey, it's for your own good, right? Even though if you choose Kartika, I won't be mad. I will be happy if you are happy.' Megumi said dripping her tears.
Alfi takes Varz's hand.
'I take it!' Alfi exclaimed. 'I might be a pessimist, but I'll do my best this time. I'll try again that I deserved to be loved by a real woman. If I fail, I still have Megumi.' He added.
Varz and Megumi smile.
'Will I let you get her that easily? Like the hell I will! Such wicked words there. Your Waifu might cry in a moment.' Varz said.
'I am happy if he is happy.' Megumi said.
'Kartika must hate you. You won't stand a chance.' Alfi said.
'Huh? We'll see then, at least I am more handsome than you.' Varz said.
They three burst out laugh. It looks like Varz is getting along with Alfi and Megumi. They have their meals and jokes that make the dinner felt warmer.
Boss incoming. Alfi and Varz check out from the hotel and walk to the respawn point. It becomes an open orchestra stage and a conductor in his formal suit and typical mustache stands on the main stage.
'Welcome! Please call me Geh.' He said.
'Gay?' Alfi said.
'Geh! My name is Geh! You dumb ass!' He exclaimed swinging his baton.
His baton emits a sound wave that launches toward them both. Varz summons his wind sword and slashes it to emit gust of wind fast. The wind crashes the sound wave, but the wind ends up vanished. When the sound wave hit them both, they both are thrown crashing spectator seats.
'What was that?' Alfi asked getting up.
'I don't know. It even can break my wind slash.' Varz said getting up.
'It was just a mere note. I use the power of sound to attack you. If a mere note can make you like that, what will happen if I use a harmony symphony, eh?' Geh asked.
Geh hits his altar with his baton and he is ready to swing his baton again.
'Harmoni! (Harmony)' He exclaimed swinging his baton as if he is conducting a big orchestra.
A chant of a beautiful song can be heard, but the sound waves make Alfi and Varz feel as if they are being slashed over and over. The tempo is increased. Alfi and Varz are made floating and bouncing crashing everything around the stages with no mercy. Alfi is trying to touch his bracelet, but a sound wave slaps his left hand and the melody starts slashing Alfi even faster more. Alfi and Varz can do nothing but screaming in pain.
'Come on, can you still hold it?!' Geh exclaimed keep swinging his baton.
He launches more sound waves to make Alfi and Varz crash each other over and over hard. He keeps making them like that for 15 minutes. Then he drops them fast to end the music. Alfi and Varz are lying sluggish and panting.
'Hei, are you dead already? We are just starting here.' Geh provoked them.
Suddenly, Varz's sword which is on his waist emits purple Iru.
'Pathetic! Let me do it!' A voice comes from the sword.
'I will never ask for your help anymore!' Varz said getting up with his shaky legs.
'Are you stupid? You can be killed in instant.' It replied.
'Shut the hell up!' Varz exclaimed dashing towards Geh fast.
'What a moron.' Geh said swinging his baton 3 times.
The sound waves make Varz thrown breaking the spectator seats that he falls to the ground.
'Varz!' Alfi exclaimed running to where Varz falls.
Alfi helps Varz ascend from the ground to the spectator seats.
'Are you alright?' Alfi asked.
'Alfi, you'd better attack him before he starts the next song.' Varz said in pain. 'He uses the sound wave to prevent his opponents to get any closer to him. We can say he has a vulnerable defense. You have to find out how to defeat this dick lover.' He added.
'Who did you call "dick lover"?!' Geh exclaimed upset.
'Isn't your name "Gay"?' Varz asked.
'Name's Geh! Not Gay!' He exclaimed upset.
Alfi then bursts out laugh.
'So you can goof around eh? Megumi, weapon number 8!' Alfi exclaimed in excitement.
Megumi then touched the number 8 halation.
'Perfecto!' Geh exclaimed swinging his baton and emitting a lot of sound waves launching towards them both.
Suddenly, all of the sound waves are destroyed in a single blow. Alfi looks like he's holding 2 big staff. Those are giant lollipops.
'Weapon number 8: Loplipop. A pair of giant lollipops which the power comes from music.' Alfi said.
'This is not finished yet!' Geh exclaimed increasing the tempo.
A hundred sound waves are about to hit Alfi.
'What a stubborn geezer.' Alfi said running while hitting those sound wives with Loplipop.
Alfi manages to approach Geh.
'You know what? I am not really into your music as I can't find any happiness in it.' Alfi said.
'So, tell me what kind of music which has happiness in it.' Geh said.
'I'll show ya.' Alfi said connecting the cord from the right lollipop to his smartphone.
Alfi then turns on the MP3 and it plays a song of a well-known idol group. Alfi then kisses his bracelet that both of the giant lollipops shine from the sticks which shine spirally to the tip which shines brightly. The rings of melody fall from the sky passing Geh's body, Alfi then hit them with the loplipop as harmony as the melody. Alfi keeps hitting the rings fast and accurate. Varz just watches it while shaking his light stick. When the music is about to finish, Alfi jumps with both of the lollipops ready to hit the ring on Geh's head.
'IT'S HEAVY METALTION!' He exclaimed hitting the last ring very hard.
'That's right! It makes me happy!' Geh said before his body destroyed.
The stage goes vanished. Alfi puts loplipop back and draws the magic curtain. He then throws it to the sky to heal Varz and himself.
'We did it, Varz.' Alfi said smiling putting back the magic curtain to his bracelet.
Varz gives him a thumb up and a smile.
'Oh, Varz, so you've made a friend, I guess?' A voice comes from behind Varz.
Varz's face looks pale in a sudden.
"No way!" He said in his mind.
Varz turns around slowly and he is shocked seeing the guy stands before him.
'How have you been, Varz?' He asked kindly.
'Arz...' Varz said shocked.

Ortus
A woman wakes up in a forest, naked, alone, and injured. She has nothing but a strange, black dagger and mysterious, floating, blue boxes to aid her. Can she find food and water? Survive the deadly animals? Escape the forest? Learn about the life-altering magic the boxes provide her? She has to use her wits, her knowledge, and maths to do so. But first, baby steps. She doesn't even understand the language, yet. If you see any maths mistakes or strange story decisions, leave a comment and I will either fix it or consider changing it. This is also, essentially, a first draft. That means I will edit older chapters and nothing is final, including numbers. Any major changes are listed in the changelog below each chapter. Since this is a first draft, the start is noticably bad and inconsistent compared to the more recent chapters so you will have to endure that to get to the good stuff. Rewritten version of Ortus (Old Version)
