Seeking Glory Among Men
Prologues

...----------------...

Today was a clear day, the cloudless blue sky was a rare sight from the rarest.

Because after all, this scene I can only enjoy for a few moments, at most about 400 drops of water.

Why would I equate it with such a complicated timer? The answer is because around me, there is no mechanical clock made by humans or sundial that I can make easily.

So I can only rely on that, the dew from a branch of a lush tree not far from me, even if the dew drops. And sometimes the drops are inconsistent, really the worst timing tool I use.

By the way my current place is a hanging prison, it is 100% made of wooden stems tied with vines.

I think humans call the plant Liana or something, but it's easier to call it a vines.

It was made to hang quite high above the surface of the lake by simply tying it to a thick tree branch where 2 horse carriages could walk on it without any problems.

Ah, true. The reason why I'm talking about this is to tell you my current situation.

In a prison that has 7 steps long and 5 steps wide and 3 or 4 feet high my body may be, alone, even without a piece of clothing or cloth to ward off the wind or insects.

Thank goodness, thanks to the imitation I did based on the actions of the people who shaved her hair to the end, I was able to regulate my body temperature properly.

It took me about 3 days to master it.

In this prison, there is nothing I can do but try hard to keep my body temperature warm or when I have to deal with the laws of nature.

You know what I mean, right?

Even so, I still thank the people who want to take care of me. Even though the treatment they did was so bad that I can definitely say, if any human were to be treated like this, they would definitely give up and beg to be released, they may not even hesitate to do whatever the people tell them to do. But since it was me, I could patiently wait for them to free me.

Oh, the reason why I can have this much mental strength, is because when there is no activity I can do, I will use it to remember my King.

My King is the Almighty, He (Rajaku) is the creator of this body. He (My King) also brought me to this place, though I myself do not know what His reason is, because even if I think about it, the answer will not be found.

Besides, my King knows better than myself, so let's put that together and let Fate guide us.

"Oh... "

The jail was starting to be raised, it seemed like it was time to eat. Besides, right now I can't think of any other reason why the prison was raised.

Besides, the food in this place is not bad. It was delicious and could be digested by my stomach.

Then, when the prison had aligned with the tree branch, I could see 3 people standing while looking at me.

2 Men and one woman.

The two men each carried a bone-reinforced wooden bow with a quiver made to hang on their backs by tying it to their shoulders.

At their waist they also see a knife they hide so that only the handle is visible.

Their clothes are simple, a mixture of green and brown colors. The armpits are made more open to make it easier for them to move their hands, while the pants are made short.

Their shoes are blackish brown. It looked like a shoe that people used to hunt.

While being female, he had an appearance that was not much different from the two men. It's just that on her waist there is an additional skirt that is possible to give a feminine impression, and she does not carry a weapon but a basket filled with fruit.

Then, after being satisfied looking at each other, I stood up and walked to the corner of the prison that was on the farthest side of the tree branch.

Seeing my actions, the two men nodded with faces filled with tension then one of them shouted while looking at the side of the thickened tree branch as it got closer to the big tree trunk.

"Hey! Bring the crossing board here! "

Shortly after, 3 men who looked the same as them came holding a wooden board as wide as me.

The board was then they put into a buffer hole located under the prison.

Then, one of them and the woman boarded the crossing board, while the rest prepared their arrows while being pointed at me.

This is not an execution, but an unnecessary vigilance. Anyway, I can't give you any resistance.

So let's wait patiently.

When the door opened, the two men entered.

The man pulled out the knife he was hiding while standing fully alert between me and the woman.

Meanwhile, the woman took the empty used basket last week in the farthest corner of the prison with me, and exchanged it for the basket she was carrying, then went out in a hurry.

If she's not careful, she might fall on her crossing bridge.

*sret*

"Eh-h! Kyaa...! "

Looky.

"Miss! "

*tring*

The man who had previously stood vigilantly at me rushed to turn around and ran out of the prison.

"Hold my hand tight. "

"Huhoo... I don't want to do this anymore... "

Hm? Looks like he's saved. Although there is water under, but falling from here is still a risk. Moreover, the distance between the point you fell with the shore of the lake is quite far, if you do not have enough stamina you might just drown to death.

"I'll help, one man keep an eye on the devil. "

"Good."

They coordinate well, but no matter how many times I hear it, the Devil said it was very unpleasant to hear. So, subconsciously I sharpened my eyes and–

*Slub*

A wooden arrow stuck in the prison bars next to me.

Oi oi, isn't that dangerous. If it misses a little bit it will hit my head.

"Hey! What the hell are you doing?! " Shouted one of those who did not help the fallen woman.

"That's... The demon just now suddenly stared intently at the chief... "

"That's not what I meant, why you missed! Is your accuracy that bad! "

What the fuck?! Do you expect that to be about me?! Although it won't kill me, the pain still hurts.

Ah~ bad, I don't know how my face looks right now.

"You guys, just keep an eye on the devil. And you quickly help me. " Shouted the person who had previously given the order, it seemed like he was his chairman.

As they were busy saving the woman, my gaze fell on a knife that had previously been issued by the man standing between me and the woman.

But for now I don't dare to take action, so just shut up as you should.

After that indistinct commotion, they managed to save the woman. But last week's used basket had now fallen into the lake, and she was seen crying from shock earlier.

And at length, the chief ordered to close the prison door and pull the board, then lower it.

From here I was alone again, but the knife of the man was still left in the prison.

What am I supposed to do now?

!

Before thinking about the future, I have to take care of this natural problem first.

"Banana banana, I need banana peel. "
