God's Hidden Truth
Chapter 18: DON'T THINK ABOUT THE THEME, JUST FOCUS ON THE FLOW

somewhere in that direction, I mean DAIN.

he was in a wilderness near the empire.

DAIN: "a few minutes ago I saw a big city, and now... I'M WHERE IS SIALAAANNNN!!!!!"

his voice echoed throughout the wilderness making monsters and beasts come to his place, which forced him to flee.

he ran around the wilderness, before long, a voice echoed in his head, his voice looked like a woman, it led DAIN out of the wilderness.

DAIN: "whose voice is that?"

he said with gasps.

not caring about it, he again found a way to go to the QOINET EMPIRE.

before long, the voice re-echoed in DAIN's head which caused him pain. Again, the voice led DAIN away to find a way to the EMPIRE.

DAIN, who can still withstand the headaches caused by the sound that echoed in his head, goes according to what the voice said.

DAIN had a little trouble walking while enduring his headache, instantly, his body moved by itself, he walked down the forest rim towards a path that led to the EMPIRE.

??? : "just leave it to me."

after the voice of a woman finished speaking, DAIN was unconscious, but his body kept walking.

in the afternoon, he woke up lying under a tree in the gate of the EMPIRE.he was confused because he did not know what happened to him.

before long, a knight approached him.

??? : "you're awake apparently, are you sick?"

ask the knight.

DAIN: "i'm okay, by the way who are you?"

??? : "you forgot? well, naturally, maybe your head hit when it fell, my name is Toni, the gatekeeper."

DAIN asked what had happened to him, and why he had been able to enter the gate unknowingly, the knight explained.

Toni: "when you went through the gate, you suddenly fainted, take it easy, you paid the entrance fee."

DAIN was a little shocked from feeling like he had done nothing, he recalled that he was unconscious when heading for the EMPIRE.

suddenly, something echoed in DAIN's right ear, causing him to scream in pain, as the echoing voice disappeared, blood began to flow from his ear and render him unconscious again.

Toni who saw DAIN back unconscious, took him away to treat the wound in his ear, he ran while carrying DAIN on his back, someone who helped Toni, also came running with a sickle belonging to DAIN.

a man seen from the window of the cadet, dressed in an all-white robe, smiled and said.

??? : "it seems like my Lord has started moving, hehehahahaha."

Toni and her friend took DAIN to his home not far from the IMPERIAL gate.

a few days later, DAIN wakes up weakly lying in Toni's house.

DAIN: "where is this?"

he said while holding his head.

Tony: "are you okay?"

he said as he approached DAIN.

DAIN: "my head hurts a little, and somehow my hearing is a little disturbed."

Toni explains what happened to DAIN.

DAIN: "I still can't remember if I did that, which I remember, I came out of the wilderness and suddenly my head hurt, and I don't remember anything anymore."

Toni: "so you mean you're possessed by something that brought you to this kingdom?"

DAIN: "maybe, I can't linger here, I have to find my friend.

after saying that, he tried to stand up but fell down.

he still forced himself to rush to getSU, but he did not tell anyone else.

meanwhile, somewhere in the IMPERIAL castle, some people were holding a meeting which included a church pope, a knight commander, 2 nobles and a person wearing a silver mask.

ComTria: "does he receive blessings from her?"

Pope: "i don't think so, if he receives a blessing from her, he must have a golden aura covering his entire body."

Noble 1: "calm down, sir, I will help you in the whole plan, hihihi."

Noble 2: "i will also help."

??? : "so, we tell our puppets not to let him escape from this kingdom.

back to DAIN's place.

he insisted on leaving the kingdom.

Toni: "I told you, stay here for a while until you're better."

DAIN: "I can't wait any longer."

he said, trying to walk.

DAIN: "I'm fine."

he suddenly fell down again as he tried to walk.

Toni: "you're very pushy, at least tonight you're resting here, if you really want to leave, tomorrow I'll help you."

DAIN who heard the talk, can only obey it.

DAIN: "alright, but only for tonight."

a little while later, Toni approached her with a little food.

Toni: "sorry yes, I only have this, but at least your stomach is not empty."

he said while giving food to DAIN.

DAIN: "this is enough, don't think too much."

Toni: "by the way, what's your name? and why did you come to the kingdom?"

he said while sitting near DAIN.

DAIN: "me... I'm Noir, and the reason I came here I told you so many times, right?"

DAIN: "(shit, I was forced to change my name many times)"

speak in his mind.

Toni: "what is your friend like? and what's his name?"

DAIN: "why do you really want to know my personal things?"

Toni: "who knows I can help you, stubborn!"

DAIN: "already, I don't want to talk about it, not to hide it, but I just don't like it when my personal things are associated with other people."

Toni: "well, I'm not going to talk about your friend anymore."

the two of them continued their simple dinner.

at midnight when Toni was fast asleep, DAIN, who had not yet slept, was sitting on the floor, it seemed like he was again trying to contact the demon who was residing in his scythe.

DAIN: "woy, demon! I want to talk to you, please come."

said in his consciousness trying to get into the dark room.

before long, the demon appeared in the same form as when meeting ROGER.

demon: "Yo! what's looking for me? do you want my power to destroy this kingdom?"

DAIN: " huh? why would I do that, and also, is this your true form?"

demon: "you think? (he didn't panic at all when I showed up, did he know that I was using magic?)"

speak in his mind.

DAIN: "I don't think so, maybe the aura is very dense, but I don't know why I don't feel this life in you in front of me."

demon: "hahahaha. (had I guessed he could feel life energy, this would be a little troublesome for me)"

they talked for a long time and...

THE TOO BE CONTINUED.
