《Ilario》CHAPTER 10: THE PRACTICE WORLD
Advertisement
The next day, Ilario went to Queen’s treehouse and requested to meet Queen Agnes, he thinking of the questions he need to ask her.
“I’m going to ask you to come here, you came at the right time. I would like to talk more about yesterday incident. I got report from Lyra already. I think that you might have many questions.” said Queen Agnes kindly.
“Yes, ma’am. After I fought with the real monsters, I’m afraid that I am still lacking and also have a long way to go. My abilities were still not enough to kill all of monsters by myself, even they were medium rank of monsters. I would like to ask you for the way to increase magic power and abilities faster. Is it possible for me to do that? I think that the monsters also made its way to make them more powerful than the past.” said Ilario.
“There is a way but it is quite risk for your life. Would you like to listen or given up?” asked Queen Agnes.
“I would like to listen, ma’am. In any case, if I am not strong enough, I have to die and could not help human races. I think that it would be meaningless if I have to give up for now.” said Ilario firmly.
“You are so determined. To tell you the truth, Athena Goddess already predicted and created the Parallel World, called “The Practice World”; the imitated world in propose of real training. All of wild animals and monsters in that world was imitated from the history of this world, that means, you must kill the real monsters that imitated the same abilities. There are no human races in The Practice World, you have to survive by yourself. — The gate will connect with a house that have strong barrier to protect all kind of wild animals and monsters. That house have necessary things for livelihood and you could stay comfortable. The benefit of practicing in The Practice World is cheating the time, the time in The Practice World for 1 year is equal to 1 day of this world, the minimum of practicing will be 5 years and maximum at 10 years, it was time limit for you to increase you power in another time space, your body will grow up as the time passes in there and your power will rapidly increasing; If you practice hard, your magic will be more increasing, use your time in The Practice World as the value time in once of your life. — You could die for real if you were not careful and practice hard, you have to survival at least 5 year, the gate will open again after you passed 2 conditions; first, kill the monsters and survived at least 5 years, second, monster lord will show up after 5 years passed, if you could kill it, the gate will open and you can come back here, If you could not kill monster lord and you still survive, you need 10 years passed the gate will open automatically because of the time limitation. — There were 4 monster lords in the past, the monster lord that you have to kill in The Practice World is the weakest among the 4 monster lords. Athena Goddess could not imitated the power of darkness to level of Diabolus because it’s require the scarify of humans lives in cruel way. If you could kill the monster lord in The Practice World successfully, that mean, you achieved this final training; When you come back in this word, you body will transform back to the present time because the time here passed for days, but you magic power inside your body will increased as same as you achieved in The Practice World.” explained Queen Agnes. “I have duty to open the gate for you to go through time space to The Practice World, Please prepare yourself and pack the necessary things, include cloths for your grew up body and came back here again.

Ilario went back to the treehouse and asked Ms. Carina to prepare luggage, camping tent and adult cloths for him, he told her that he need to go for training outside 5-10 days, therefore, she would not worried about him. Ilario went to meet Oliver and asked for swords, dagger knives, bow, arrows and adult armour by told him that he got special training from Queen Agnes for 5-10 days.
After Ilario got all necessary things, he went to Queen Agnes’s Treehouse again. Queen Agnes was waiting for him, she have something on her hand.
“Give me your hand. I made this bracelet for you, it had same ability as magic bag, put some of your magic power when using it, it was unlimited space, the things you keep inside, it would be same condition when you bring it outside again. I made this one special for you, only you could wear and use it, its size will automatic fit to your wrist.” said Queen Agnes while wearing the bracelet at his left wrist, a gold bracelet in shape of olive crown, it fitted to his wrist automatically, it was light and comfortable when wearing.
“Thank you, ma’am. I will use it well.” said Ilario.
“Please come back safely, and take care of yourself.” said Queen Agnes and opened the gate.
###
The bright and shinning light showed up after the gate opened, Ilario could see nothing but gone pass through it, when Ilario crossed the gate, he found himself in a small cozy house, it has only 1 floor, 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, fireplace, Kitchen and dinning area, the gate disappeared after he crossed to this house.
Ilario went to bedroom and unpacked the luggage, surveyed the house, there were necessary things like Queen Agnes said. Ilario went outside, there were fence surrounding the house, he thought that it was scope barrier of this house, there was a big apple tree with plenty of apples and small farm of vegetables inside the fence, he harvested some of apples to eat while using “Mind Vision” to check the surrounding in 5 miles, he need to remember and create the map for his adventure here, he prepare a paper and draw the map roughly as follow as the energy that he could felt. The natural itself also have its energy, Ilario could describe which area have plenty of trees, river and mountain, he thought that it might be energy of spirits, it made him describe more specific in detail of natural. — There were several wild animals around, the monsters stay near the mountain and the area that have plenty of trees. Ilario planned of killing the monsters within 5 miles first, after familiar, he will survey more of area further because this world have only forest, river and mountain.
After finished the first map, Ilario went to area that have low number of monsters first, he need to check what kind and level of monsters around here, fortunately, he read the book name “How to kill monsters” and remember all of monster types, their power including its weakness since 4 years ago. The important process is destroying dark magic stone after killed them.

Ilario hunted the wild animals without using magic to train his physical body, thanks to the bracelet that Queen Agnes given him, he could hunt many wild boars and kept it for his food supplies, he went to area that have more monsters, he climbed up the tree and checked what kind of monsters, there are a group of X-Ursa, the monstrous bear, its hair was dark, their fang and flow were sharper, its skin was thicker than the wild bear. — Ilario activated “Solis Meteor” to burn and banish the darkness in one blow, they all burned without trace, the low rank of monsters were just the advance version of wild animals. Ilario destroyed all of dark magic stones that was dropped from its bodies.
Ilario went to the area that he found more darkness energy but found out that there were only low rank of monsters all around, he killed them all easily. The sun was setting, he went back home with his speed boost up.
Ilario peeled the skin of wild boar, he have been seen the method at the elves’s village once, he used his magic power to made it more easier. Ilario grilled the meat with the slice pieces of broccoli, asparagus and tomato, it was easy dish that he could made from the ingredients that he got from this house. The meat was fresh, it made the dish have taste for itself, at least he could eat more meat to make his body grow up and handle more magic power.
Time passed by 2 years inside of The Practice World, Ilario was familiarised all of the area in this world, he made the map and categorised the area as same as the logic of game development, it was more easier to remember, there were 3 zones, first, the safe zone, the area that nearest the house, plenty of natural, river and wild animals; second, the medium zone, there were dense forest 50% of area, hills, caves and some river, the level of monsters were medium; final, the advance zone, there were dense forest 60% of area, a lot of cliffs, caves, and big river, the high level of monsters were gathering here.
Ilario planned to invaded the advance zone, he prepared foods, camping tent and the necessary thing for camping outside, he could not fight and come back to the house in the same day.
Ilario went to the medium zone easily, he killed monsters in this zone and clear the area to make it less dangerous when he camping and rest here.
Ilario detected the group of monsters nearby, he went to that way silently, there were 3 of Cerberus, the gigantic, three-head hound, Ilario activated “Wild Slashing” combo set to cut its heads, and activated “Solis Burn” to repeat the miss of wind slashing and burned them all. Finished them before they could attack back was the important factor to deal with monsters, or else they will go wild and hard to deal with.
Ilario continued to find more monsters, he found a group of Lycans, there were 20 at least, Ilario activated “Solis Meteor” to reduce their number, some survived and moved their direction to him but he was on the tree. Ilario activated “Wind Dragon Wing” flown in the air and eliminated them one by one, it was more easier than the Lycans that he fought with Lyra and Oliver last time. The next generation of monsters might be stronger and more crueler than the imitated monsters here.
After eliminated many monsters, Ilario found the place for resting, near the river and no dense forest, he could see the surrounding clearly. Ilario cut some trees nearby to make more empty space and use the tree logs for fire wood. The sun was set, the sky was dark, the star more shining, the whether was nice, Ilario set up “Light Barrier”; he developed “Light Barrier” to detect darkness and protect himself in 1 mile radius, the monsters could not come inside unless they stronger than him but he will know immediately if the strong monster broken through his barrier and came inside.
Ilario set up the tent, grilled the meat, warmed up the pumpkin soup that he prepared from home. Ilario’s body grew up a lot after he eaten meat everyday. After dinner, Ilario bathed himself in a small hot spring that he made by himself, he had a nice time resting and the atmosphere around was good.
Ilario detected area again to make sure that no darkness energy near him in 2 miles radius. Ilario went to sleep, he brought the blanket and pillow with him, he love the comfortable, he thought of bringing the whole bed but it could not place inside the tent, therefore, he had to give up of that idea.
Ilario slept for a while and woken up after the “Light Barrier” detect something, it was neither darkness energy nor wild animals. It coming closer but Ilario did not felt of killing intense, rather, he felt of familiar energy that he could not explain it clearly. Ilario prepared himself on guard and ready for attacked. — A big white wolf showed up, it was taller than him, its eyes colour as same as him, there was a sapphire crystal on its forehead. Ilario was surprised but felt calmed at the same time.

Seeing there's no one on the place anxiety and confusion filled his mind and heart. Now he set foot his journey seeking the truth of sudden change. CREDITS TO WHOM THE OWNER OF THESE BEAUTIFUL PICTURES Background - I picked up the BG because of the 8 swords. Though I removed the girl because it was some sort of a ritual and our MC is a guy. The Swordsman - His look in the description was vastly different, but just think of him as a modern guy and that person in the cover was close. IMO. BIG CREDITS TO - the person who points out the mistake of my cover. vkg313 - the person who have a keen and sharp eyesight. He could look into the truth and mistakes of anything he wanted to see. Thus, unveiling the mistake of my cover. Instead of 'Eight Swords', it turned out to be just 'Eight Sword'. So thanks for the tip, and I appreciate it.

If it doesn't when you expected one, then I am sorry. Awkward plot, forgive me. I had a really late start. Terribly sorry for those seeking a really great story, character, and plot. I made this to let my imagination run wild, no matter how irritating it might get, but I'll still accept criticism, it'll serve as a good teacher for the future. It's just something to make in my free time, that and the contest itself. Hope you still enjoy it though! :) Credits to Deadheadz for the great cover art! :)
