The Stake of Liberty: The Journey of Worldruler
Corcus Arstarilea

The sky wept again, adorning the Bandung night when the stars and moon were shining beautifully.

The sway of the wind is so strong, pampering the dream lovers.

Behind the blankets, Urfana slept soundly in warmth. Urfana soon wakes up in her dream, dark with no light shining.

Darkness is the greatest fear of man.

FRUH!

The flames lit up and shrank, forming a lantern that was kept on the table.

A person with a formal dress of the century before March and a handsome face sat on the bench.

Unknowingly, Urfana had been sitting opposite him. Unlike the dream, now this is just a dark room with 1 fire lantern, a table, and two chairs.

Urfana has learned that the figure in front of her at this time would want to invite discussion.

"For thousands of years, I lived in the void without anyone listening to me in real life, all this time I've been waiting for almost 2100 years. I've been waiting for a presence like you, Rahmania Urfana." the figure folded his legs and kept his toe on the table.

"Anu, that's not a good way to sit for a polite adab brother." Urfana scolded.

The figure immediately lowered his leg, "Right, and please just call me Corcus"

Urfana and Corcus look each other in the eye.

"Why are you quiet?" ask Urfana.

"You're right, I should have started the conversation, right?" Corcus looked away, he saw his hand with burns, which made him remember the past.

The fire lanterns were soon the center of attention of both directions.

"This era is where destruction is coming, humans have been playing with fire and will now be charred by fire" Corcus Arstarilea said, with a resolute tone of speech it made the fire lanterns ignite a large fire instantly.

Urfana doubted Corcus' words and did not understand the boast of the fire.

Shortly after, Corcus showed a visual where the dark surroundings turned into a terrible sight.

"I am from the past, from a land called Athnia. I've lived for thousands of years as a spirit who can't talk to anyone. I study history as time goes on and predict what's going on in the future."

Urfana stood up, and she saw a picture of how the future was threatened. The entire world conflict was briefly described within 1 year in the dream world. It feels like 1 year.

They walk somewhere and go anywhere in disarray. It was as if the world was going on as usual.

"Corcus, can't you get me out of this prison that's driving me almost crazy?" Urfana began to feel tired and crazy for too long there, surrounded by the noise of virtual projections from Corcus' magic.

Corcus realized one thing, that this was too soon for Urfana to understand everything.

Urfana is only a 15-year-old child, she understands nothing and does not get a proper education. The boy he saw was just a boy living in a peaceful world.

"It's still too soon for you to understand, but at least what I'm describing happened."

Corcus isn't very good at talking. Moreover, for thousands of years he did not communicate with anyone, the way people communicate today is much different than before.

Corcus flicked his finger, then Urfana got up and lay on the floor.

Urfana really felt weak after a prolonged dream, he checked the calendar and turned out the normal walking date, only 1 day from sleep.

It was 3am. Fadhilah also awoke from his sleep, he also felt weak, his hair was unraveling, and his eyes turned red.

The world had reached the peak before where everything had changed, the mysterious event that had happened yesterday felt so unreal.

The new dimension of time created by Ouvel Euronova is so different that time goes back but history changes, and the world has magic. Even the places alone became somewhat ill-strategic and fantasy.

This era is the modern era, where technology develops according to the time in the previous dimension, this world is a world where magic and technology go side by side.

Urfana's red right eye became a witness.

..."BRRTTTT"...

Urfana's cell phone rang, she immediately went to the living room to pick up her phone and picked up the call.

"Urfana, are you awake? I want to apologize, I didn't think my mother would get that angry with you, but you're not wrong." said Fadhilah, apologizing to his best friend.

"What's wrong, you just woke up? How's sleep? Wakeless?"

"I also heard, as if I did not catch wind because of the rain yesterday.

Urfana moved her limbs, trying to stretch her body. The body that had been limp was now no longer limp.

"Yo." said someone who was lying on the living room couch.

Urfana glared and gaped. Corcus was waiting for Urfana to wake up in her house.

"Urfanah? Urfana?" call Fadhilah.

Urfana silenced the call, "You better not bother me. Shut up there" threatened Urfana who was annoyed by being bullied.

Corcus hinted okay with his hand.

Urfana then returned to the room to enjoy a chat with Fadhilah, he was busy chatting and sharing stories to entertain Fadhilah.

The cold of the morning was hindered by the warm chatter, while communicating with the girl Urfana went to boil some water and bake some bread.

He peeked out of the kitchen looking at Corcus, not believing that the person from his dream could suddenly enter the real world.

Corcus waved and smiled, Urfana turned to ignore him and acted as if she saw nothing. But it does not seem to ignore the fact that Corcus actually exists.

The world where magic became legal after some time opened a new gate, to welcome the arrival of magic to the surface of this new world, even more so the spirits who were sitting on the sofa while eating snacks.

"Hey, you're being horrified again?" fadhilah said by phone.

"Uhm, huh? You told me about your mom, right?"

"Yes, my mother enrolled me at Harapan Bandung High School" said Fadhilah in a soft tone.

"SMA Harapan Bandung? Yaampun is the best private school in Nusantara. I'm afraid graduates there have a good guarantee of success, to the point that the entry alone requires a lot of money and student selection." Urfana was proud to hear that Fadhilah was able to enter the school.

Of course, Fadhilah has outstanding achievements in academia, especially she is a student with a privilege award that is qualified.

"Yes, by the way you want to list where is Urfan? You were following the package, right?" ask the girl, who is waiting for an answer that Urfan will start school.

Urfana smiled, she knew Fadhilah wished that he could go to school with the girl. But Urfana has mediocre academic ability, as well as financial ability.

"I signed up for SMK Negeri 2 Ciwalung, I want to register for a department related to computers, because after graduation I want to get a job related to technology. Fadhilah I hang up the phone first yes, I have to cook for breakfast."

Fadhilah was not disappointed to hear that, although Urfana could have been a school with a deep track that his father Fadhilah did, but he preferred to respect Urfana's decision.

"In a few days I can go home, I'll tell you again, if you want to see me again. Don't miss us, we're just friends" The girl laughed.

Urfana's cheeks flushed red because yesterday "Heh, don't tell me who it is!" He hung up the phone and continued cooking.

"Hahaha, you fool." replied Fadhilah, shortly after that he continued his sleep.

Beres cooking water, providing 2 cups of tea and toast on a plate. He walked over to the table and put the food and drinks down.

"Surprised, this time it's not a dream, I'm here to go with you. You're now fully recovered and you don't need to rest." Corcus stopped lying on the sofa and changed position to sit

Urfana turned towards the jar that was once full of spicy snacks, now only half leftover, eaten by the soul who was pretentious and close-ass.

He then approached Corcus, trying to touch, fumbling, everything translucent.

"I'm not a real person, I'm a ghost, boy, where maybe you can touch me. You better take it easy, because not everyone can see me, if you act weird when I'm next to you, you'll be considered crazy."

My snack, Urfana said inwardly.

"Ah, fuck. All right, whatever, I don't want to know" Urfana sat opposite Corcus.

Urfana felt strange with Corcus, he was a ghost who was not so good at talking and really serious, but in fact he was like an uncivilized person and acted arbitrarily.

"I can possess people if I want to, whether they live or die. If the body dies it can only be until its organs are rotten, if life must still need nutrients to survive."

"Don't rasuki me"

"Disk"

...The story of an ordinary boy and the spirit of Athnia's strongest knight begins from now on!...

...........Seriate...........
