The Story of the Brave Warrior
2: new friends
...Episode 2's...
...-year 421-...
In the morning, all the villagers druth excited to see the corpse of a large terrible monster brought in their village. apparently the monster has been defeated by a teenager who is a novice adventurer.
the name Raden is talked about crowded in his village, because it is quite surprising beginner adventurers who amateurs managed to survive and win against a large bear, 2 meters high and 3 meters long.
Plus this is a splashy news that quickly spread, because there have never been any monsters seen or appear in the area of druth known to be safe from threats, such as monsters, such as monsters,
that is why, druth village is called trade route village.
Raden is now in treatment after being injured in his fight with monsters.
"are sick"
I was in medical care with a beautiful nurse who was helping to treat my wounds. I'm a little happy to be treated by a beautiful woman.
the wounds I had now were 3, the bite wound on my arm, the scratch on my chest and the broken bone on my left shoulder, and the rest were just ordinary light injuries.
I didn't expect my shoulder to break either, because I didn't feel any pain from the fracture at the time. But after I finished fighting I just felt tremendous pain and slowly I finally fainted as well.
Luckily I was saved by the people after that.
It's also true, where have these people come from, why has no one come to help.
Even so I don't want to think about it, the important thing now is that I definitely get paid well.
Oh right also, if you recall, when my left arm was bitten by the monster, I pulled my left arm to be able to come forward and stab the monster's neck. Maybe that's the cause of the fracture I'm having right now.
then while I was resting I was approached by someone. He's an old man.
"introduce, I am to this village"
a village chief from druth village came to see me, maybe he wanted to say thank you or something.
"i will reward you for your service against the monster alone."
glad I heard the compliments and rewards.
"because you've removed the threat to the monster in the trade route area."
the man said "congratulations" with a happy and relieved face. I also found out that druth village was a trade route village. Naturally things like this are very feared by them, this could have disrupted the village's economic system significantly.
"quite appreciating yourself for holding on. This is the guild reward from the mission you took, also a little bonus".
Somehow seeing the man expressing his face in wonder at me, what was wrong.
yaudah, the important thing is to get a bonus,
that alone makes me happy.
wait, I was a little curious about the blue crystal stone I found back then. I'd better ask.
"i really want to ask you something."
"please."
"Do you know the blue crystal at the monster's location."
"Well I know, it's a decoration carried by a slain adventurer."
hearing that someone was killed, I mourned for them.
Actually I was quite curious how could the monster be made from a combination of several ferocious beasts.
"that monster, why is it so weird?."
"You ask too many questions, you better rest."
mr. Kades refused to tell, then gave the money and the draw was right to leave.
"yes, thank you"
there might be a reason he refused to tell me that. Mending I find out for myself in the library after I recover later, wait, is there a library?.
now I have enough money for more than a month, which means I am ready to leave this village. Yes before that I have to think about the healing of my body.
maybe stay in the village for a week. It is enough to spend time studying, and training to see if my body is ready to go on an adventure again and ready to face the same threats that may come.
Reminds me again, the words delivered by Siti's mother, that our greatest enemy is our own stupidity.
I am a little sorry, why I often miss learning, but my mother always forced me to study. I know how important science is.
For 2 days I decided to just rest and not take the mission again.I have been allowed to go home with the wound closed, maybe 5 more days have recovered. It seemed that the doctors and nurses were confused as to how I could heal with this rather heavy wound.
I was also confused as to why he would recover so quickly, even if the wound was still there, it was impossible to heal so quickly. Except for my arm bite. It still burns and still gives pain.
I am now reading a book on the types of dangerous animals, poisonous plants and herbs.I also studied the continent of lulutea, the continent I live in, which belongs to the territory of the ASHURA kingdom, as well as figuring out every region that has an interesting history, expect there to be something good in every place.
I read a little book about the world I live in today. Because I'm actually curious about the human world and the demon world. I now have an interesting book, so I read it.
"..."
421 Years ago, after the completion of the battle of the Rhinoceros, or the first victory of the world against the demon king, by a hero "not mentioned"
for the first time mankind and the demons repulsed the demon lord's army.
the battle was won 421 years ago. I wonder the name of the hero.
In this world there are 2 double planets or binary planets. Well I often see giant red balls at night in the night and morning. If daylight is rarely seen, only once a few years appear.
the two planets are commonly called, the human world and the demon world, these two planets orbit each other, and these two worlds only have one moon.
the two planets seem to complement each other's individual shortcomings, or even twins. Just different colors. Think of it as 1 coin but 2 different sides.
humans on earth are short-lived creatures yet they are blessed with extraordinary powers,
"are we that strong than the demon race?" Ask myself.
While the demons, have a long life but they do not have extraordinary strength, but that does not mean they are weak.
perhaps the abilities of the demon race were as average as humans, but human strength was faster to develop than demons.
"does this affect their longevity due to the slowing down of their body development?"
Thanks to their long lifespan, they could study longer and improve their science, making the demon world 100 years ahead of the human world.
"okay this is natural because they are long-lived".
Note
(The word world is a substitute for the word planet)

For some reason, when I wanted to find out, it felt exciting and wanted to continue reading. Until I realized that my stomach was rumbling.
the hungry me decided to go out to eat.
I found a bar. I then went in, There I became the subject of conversation, at first I was not so happy but in the end they praised me, even asking to be taught how to fight. Worse yet, someone asked me to buy food, he probably knows I have a lot of money.
Obviously I refused, then after I finished and was full of food, I went straight out to go home. But on the way I saw the market. Because I want to buy something.
"maybe I should send letters and money to others."
I thought I should tell my family in the sluth village, actually I also want to give a little money, but well I am still poor, being a farmer is easy, but a little money making. For the first time I was able to earn more money before I got into Sluth village.
I decided to tour the village market. Looking for something interesting.
Until I where there is a deserted digang.it is because there is no good stuff, I got around in circles in the same place until this place.
I was a little disappointed, as most people said druth village was a trading village, surely many expensive and rare items were sold here.
back again, this is a village not a city, this place is just a route of rest for traders who will then go elsewhere to sell.
when I was walking around, I saw someone in front of me, he was facing me, someone from the front, a man in a light armour, related I was now in a quiet place.he might be a stall and eyeing my money, he said, because of the news that I had defeated a monster, he must have been after my money.
"Sadly, my friend, I don't have much money on me."
so I decided to just turn around, I just wanted to avoid trouble.
"stop right there !!!"
the man shouted loudly at me.
maybe I better follow the request first and then maybe go away soon
I turned back, to the one who was yelling at him..
Right after turning around, the man was already right in front of him. Before, he was a bit far away. Now we are about 2 meters away.
damn I can't move cupped in fear of him, he also approached me without the slightest sound.
The man started talking to me.
"You're the one named Raden !! "
he knows my name.
"yes"
I answered him with a stammering voice, scared of him.
"my name is Adam Ashikaga, greetings"
"hello, lord Adam Ashikaga, greetings know also"
"Raden, is that your name?"
Adam asked me my surname, of course I don't have it.
"i'm actually an orphan, living in a sluth village orphanage."
Knowing that Adam's face looked a little good to hear it. His eyes shifted elsewhere. After that he spoke again.
"sorry to question the unpleasant."
Lah, I was confused at the time, I think he came to rob, apparently...
"Raden, my purpose in meeting you is to fight with you."
"huh???"
I was shocked to hear that, apparently coming just to ask me for a duel, thank God it wasn't to rob me of money.
"I wonder what kind of ability, somehow seeing you makes me interested in challenging you."
Adam dropped the weapon he had on the ground.
I knew Adam's intention to duel, just like the bar, I was asked to duel to test him whether I was strong or just lucky. It seemed like people rarely saw monsters or fought back. It is only natural that weak people like me are invited to duel.
they think I'm a strong man.
"sorry I refused"
hearing his refusal, Adam was a little upset, though,
"come on my opponent, I'll buy you a meal".
he forced me to duel with him.
I refused because I had never been dueled by anyone else, Adam certainly had more experience than me. Plus I still need to learn a lot more.
Adam took his sword again, and the kembund threw it at me.
"take the sword."
Adam forces Raden to a duel and gives him a real sword while wearing only his bare hands.
Seeing his attitude alone, Adam only intended to show off his skills.
"what's the reason you invited me to a duel.?"
adam answered clearly with his intention.
"sensation.?"
tell me what the hell this guy is, bitch.
He said he felt the same sensation to me, I was a little confused and disgusted to hear it. I don't know what the guy wants to say, but I think I should take the challenge.
but that way, I know why Adam invited him to a duel because I managed to defeat the monster, is there anyone out there who also wants to duel with me. No. don't.
"i'll take it but on condition,"
"Oh what is that."
"if I lose, please don't lose my limbs or my life. Please forgive me."
"Haha how could I do that."
Adam agreed on the condition that he put in a laugh.
I don't care if I win or lose, the important thing is that I can continue my adventure happily.
***
"..."
both of them were already preparing and starting their standby stance.
Raden started the first attack, until the moment he started to approach Adam, he suddenly felt terrified and he felt as if his body was being held back by something invisible.
Adam started attacking Raden with a regular attack on him, Raden was still able to move and resist his attacks.
Adam who knew it was surprised and amazed, he was excited and began to attack Raden blindly, Raden could not resist his attacks in a row, he became samsak by Raden, Raden, he was not able to resist, until he fainted but not because of Adam's attack.
****
In inn.
I opened my eyes, I realized that I was in the bed slowly starting to open my eyes clearly and came to my senses, I realized that I was in the inn room.
"so it was a dream.."
I thought the fight was just a dream.
"What a dream"
Say someone like him knows.
ADAM!!!
I cried out in surprise at Adam's sudden appearance, I turned back to Adam.
"remember, I don't want another duel."
Adam himself asked him to relax, because he was not wanting to duel again.I finally could calm down a little, even so I could not just keep quiet.
Adam asked me
"why did he suddenly faint during the duel they were dueling earlier?."
"i felt dizzy at the time"
Hearing that Adam could not believe why Raden could be affected. He asked once again
"do you have that power?."
what power, I do not have a special technique, my sword technique is also ordinary.I do not know and turn to ask what strength is meant by Adam.
"what power..?"
"so you really don't know"
I just kept quiet while confused.
Adam inevitably told her what strength he meant.
"alright maybe I'll tell you.... Hm..
not so much.."
I was curious, but he didn't say it.
"Why, just tell me what the problem is. "
"I'm afraid you're telling a lot of people."
So that's because he was afraid that I would spread it to people.
"I'm not a person who likes to spread other people's secrets."
Adam was silent, but his face seemed to be holding something back, obviously he wanted something.
"Please tell me I'll comply with your request."
I begged Adam to tell him.
"Hahaha, so dong."
Clearly, he had a laugh he wanted for sure.
"okay, I'll tell you"
in the end Adam will tell him about the power he has.
I listened carefully to Adam's words.
Before that, Adam told me about the power of what made Raden faint,
What made you faint.?"
"Chohen.?"
asked that I won't know.
"i'm attacking your soul"
".???."
"...."
I was puzzled as to how Adam might attack my soul, not that the soul could not be seen or touched as much as was known.
"how is it.??"
"Simple, that is, using my own soul to attack your soul."
Adam Say.
not getting better but I'm getting confused.
he then asked "is there a name for the invading power of the human soul."
"MISTIC FORCE"
Adam said seriously and slowly.
Just hearing it I was getting curious and a little bit excited by what he said.
"What does that name mean.?"
"mystic force is, the force that is removed from the user's body according to the user's own imagination."
which means that this power can be formed according to the imagination and ability of the user himself, by using the soul as the basic material.
I thought of something and asked. "what if we used our soul force continuously, would they die."
"technically yes, but everyone has run out of mystic energy. But if it really runs out to 0%. I'm sure he's dead."
"How to know the mistic energy limit.?"
To know the limits of their strength, it can be seen with changes in their own bodies, or when you like fatigue or not fainting.
I'm a little happy and want to get the power of the mystique.
"whether he can rule life
the Mistic Force Adam"
he answered
"it could, because every material in the world, contain mystic energy or soul."
"Water, soil, trees, animals, plants and everything, it contains the power of the soul."
"then teach me, master"
if you want to call someone who teaches you, I will definitely call a teacher/master.
"don't call me that, just call me Adam"
Adam who heard that was surprised, and forbade Raden to say it.
how long have you been in control of this power?.
"Hehe I was only 2 years ago."
"NELLIE!!!"
****
we got to know each other.
"so you're actually also a rookie adventurer like me"
"yes you could say so, besides I just fought this village. I'm just starting my adventure."
"so well, I guess it's better we work together as a team, how."
Raden then invites Adam to form a team, because Raden sees Adam as a solo adventurer like Adam.
"no problem, I actually want to."
Adam did not mind and was happy.
"what's your name again."
Raden asked Adam's name
"ADAM ASHIKAGA, remember the name well"
"btw I'm only 15 years old. Please guide her."
I'm telling you he's actually 15.
"oh, hahaha it's good that you're 2 years younger than me." Adam seemed happy and surprised to know his age is only 2 years.
"wait means you're only 17.???"
hearing that Raden immediately suspected that Adam was actually 17 years old, indeed he looked young and the same age as himself, but it was surprising for him.
"Mohan his help for my training and as a member of this new team."
I then stood up and begged Adam to teach him the concept of soul force in order to master it
"with pleasure"
Adam agreed, the two of them then shook hands, signifying cooperation between the two of them..
