CHAPTER 16 - A FAMILIAR VOICE
An intense shock wave expanded in all the surroundings followed by an acute force. I managed to protect myself with [Force Field] fortified with layers of Magus Arrays, using all of my remaining power.
I don't really want to use a nuclear based skill but my mind went blank due to my unceasing rage and overflowing emotions. Yet I didn't regret any single bit of it.
Inside I felt happy about it, killing that bastard.
After the raging dust and shock wave had passed, I lied down on the ground, my back leaning against it. From where I am, the sky became dark and hazy due to the nuclear fallout.
I try to mustered an ample amount of energy so that I could create a protective layer for my body against radiation but couldn't.
Damn... I let myself be exposed to radiation.
I tried to move my body but couldn't even lift a single part. Blood were flowing out from my mouth and nose.
My sensations were getting numb by a second. All that I can do was to stare blankly at the darkened sky.
TIME LEFT BEFORE TURNING INTO AN UNDEAD: 1 MINUTE
Huh? I forgot about this one.
Looks like I'm turning into one of those foul creatures...
Though I wanted to stop this malevolent process, my body won't listen to my mind. Even I don't have the appropriate skill to stop this ailment.
All that I could do was to prepare myself for the worst, though my will was strongly against it.
Black colored snow began to fall. Maybe what I'm seeing is actually the residual radioactive material from the nuclear blast.
Damn it... Is this it?
My vision started to blur. I tried to blink but my eyelids won't even move an inch. My mind was starting to lose its sanity and my body began to deteriorate.
Am I going to die without both arms? Such a pity...
------
Before the young boy lost his consciousness, everything that were moving in the surroundings stopped.
From the hazy and radioactive gray sky, a figure descended and landed beside him.
Although his vision was blurry, Ragna could the see the feet of this being. From there he traced the figure of an unknown being in front of him.
"A woman...?"

Ragna thought as he glanced on the person standing beside him. This person, a woman, wore a form-fitting full-length white dress with an ornate golden crest around the waist and had a long blonde hair with blue eyes.
Yet the boy could not see the female's entire face, as if it was covered with a mask of light that only her eyes could be seen.
The blonde haired woman then approached the armless and bloody Ragna and carried him on her arms.
"You must live, after all you are my..."
The mysterious woman in white muttered some words in a tender loving voice. Ragna could only hear the first few phrases as both of his ears were bleeding fast.
After the woman finished speaking, she kissed Ragna's bruised forehead. A fleeting and warmth feeling surrounded the boy's entire body, making him lost his consciousness.
The woman raised her head up then a blinding white light surrounded her. In a second, she disappeared together with Ragna.
The wind, dust and everything in the surroundings then began to move as nature dictates.
------
--Ragna's POV--
When I woke up, I found myself lying inside a cave.
As I tried to get up, I feel a familiar sensation on both of my shoulders--
"My arms..."
There back! My precious arms!
I began to cry in happiness as I hugged both of my precious arms. I started to caress my hands with my face with a snot dripping from my nose. I felt like a weirdo doing such crazy things.
Hurriedly, I checked my body for any open wounds but surprisingly there were none to be found. Also, my clothes were fully cleaned. All in all I'm perfectly fine.
Just in case, let's check my status--

I'm currently a level 46 person. It seems that undead wolf is a high level monster. I have also many unused stat points. Maybe I should increase my INT and WIS stat...
And I'm still a human. Lucky me.
Beside me there was a bonfire already lit up and a weird looking wooden chest. Curious, I looked up at the contents of the chests.
Inside was a pair of winter fur cloak, some vegetables and meat, and a note.
Seeing this, I stepped back from the chest. Something is fishy in here...
A bonfire and a chest with items in a cave, lumped together with me. Something is not right, but my [Ethereal Sense] didn't activate or warn me of any danger.
So that means this place is safe, huh.
Who could left this here?
Then I remembered the woman in white from before. Could she be the one who left this chest? Could she be the one who carried me at this place? Could she also be the one who regenerated my arms and healed me?
If so, where is she?
"Hello? Anybody in here?"
I shouted yet no one answered back. I could only hear my voice bouncing on the cave walls.
Where did that woman go?
There were so many things I wanted to ask her like how did I got transported into this foreign place away from home or the words that she spoke to me.
Although I only heard the first few phrases she spoke but I was certain what I just heard.
She spoke to me in English.
A language that should not exist in this world.
And her voice... It felt that I heard her voice before but I couldn't remember where or when.
But I'm certain it was very familiar.
Really, what is going on?
Looks like even if I put much thought into it the whole day, I couldn't find any answers that kept fluttering in my heart and mind so I decided to pick up the items in the chest.
I wear one of of the winter fur cloak and store the other one in my <
Eat and rest well for there are many hardships to come.
Yours truly,
Your Guardian Angel
Umm... I don't know how to react to this one but I'm pretty sure there are no angels in this world.
Or maybe I'm just making an assumption?
Really man, I couldn't help myself thinking who is that woman. If we would meet again, I would give her my thanks for saving my life.
As I looked around my surroundings, I decided to explore this underground chamber.
In the end, I didn't turn into a zombie. Thank goodness. Advertisement Previous

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
