The City of Alexander is the capital city from Esterossa Kingdom, it was buzzling with people around the world because it was located beside an entrance to the biggest underworld dungeon.
On that road there's Nero walked along the center road, his face was distorted with disbelief and shocked expression. The recents event he saw right in front his eyes leaving him stunned and bewildered as he tried to make sense of what just happened.
(How does he survived that?)
(....)
(...)
(I mean thats... And th-)
(...)
(My calculation was never wrong...)
(....)
(The number was there... How could he lift my ships that as heavy as the Werx Stone in a planet Ursae? Even an apple will crushed to pieces just from falling 5cm from the ground)
(....)
(How??)
He continued walking across the road, his steps was kinda unstable and unsteady. His brilliant brain was denied every reality he could think of. It was absurd, it was even more crazier than the mystical dimension he went before.
(I checked everything... The psychic, the calculation... I never failed at calculation, I know there's a number in everything, but that??? )
(How?)
As he dwels further into the deep of his thoughts, suddenly there's a girl who bumping into him while carrying a flask of wine's, the unexpected collision snap him out of his thoughts back into the reality for a moment.
The wines splashed into his clothes making his clothes a little bit wet. Nero looked down at his stained clothing realizing the wines odor seems strong enough to made him a little bit dizzy.
Seeing what she just did the girl bowed her head in apology, genuinely feel bad for spoiling the wines on stranger clothes.
"I'm so sorry sir... Please do forgive me.. I didn't mean to... "
Even though the girl trying to sincerely apologizing for her mistake, Nero who still consumed with his own thought simply walked on the road, continuing his journey.
"Sir....? "
"....."
"I'm so..."
----------------
Nero who continued walking along the main road, has found himself surrounded by a mix people who using the same road. Various individuals, travelers, villagers, and adventures heading in the same direction to the capital city of Esterossa kingdom Alexander.
The atmosphere along the road was filled with excitement and joy, as there is a festival upcoming into the city making everyone in high spirits. A lot of conversation filled the air, and the talk about the fallen star that just crashed a few moments ago was also the the main topics of the discussion.
Nero, who still deep in his own thoughts doesn't seems to care about any of that. For him all he could think about is to deal something to those heroes party or to save his beloved space ships.
But in doing so, there is unknown consequences he doesn't dare to take, especially when he was in the weakest state of he ever was.
After a few moments.
As Nero reached the city gates there's 2 guard In front of him, who stood ready at their stations on the either side of the entrance. It seems like their watchful eyes observing every individual who entering the city carefully.
One of the guards realizing there's someone he know trying to reach out with a smile on his face.
"Wait a minute... Hey you there" While pointing fingers at Nero.
"Oiii Velskud.. What are you doing outside? Waking up in some random bushes again? "
".... "
".... "
"What's wrong? Why the death silence? "
"..... "
"....."
"Hey.. What's wrong? "
"..... "
Realizing there is something wrong with the man he knew very well in this city, the guard seems to feel a little bit worried of what just happened.
"Hey velll... Is there something wrong? "
"..... "
"No answer huh?"
The other guard who realizing there is something wrong with them, approaches to see what was happening.
"Hey.. What's wrong? Something up with this guy? "
"I don't know... He seems outta this world, look at this guy face... "
"Yeah I could see.. He looked like death right? "
"What do you mean he's dead? Is he undead or something? "
"No... Yeah, totally wreck... I saw someone who has this kinda shocked expressioned before..."
"What do you mean? "
"It happened to a man who loved a demi-human"
"Apparently the demi-human he loved was from a snake variants, the demi-human was known so astonishing beautiful... "
"And...? "
"They loved each other dearly, and I saw them a couple of times when they're dating back in my hometown"
"There is one fated night when I patroling, on that night I saw the atmosphere around them was so lovely that you could feel the Love from a mile away.... "
"They both drunk, and the moments was feel just right to spend the night"
"Good for him I said... So on that day I spend the night wondering how lucky he was and how jealous I am.. "
"The long night passes slowly and the morning came... "
"So I decide to wash my face in the River beyond the wall.. and there I found him lying beside a great tree"
"His shirt are torn.. and his pants are gones ... he was half naked like he was on the moment he was born "
"I can't believe my eyes, I felt like I could see his souls... Slip away, even though the body was there breathing. it's so crazy its look like his face sucked dry as if he spend the night pumpin like a beast..."
"There.... Around his button, there's a lot of white thick liquids oozing out outta his hellhole. "
"On that day... I know the faces of someone who died and living at the same time.. He was fucking and being fucked at the same time for hours, what a nightmare... "
"WHAT THE FUCK... !? THERE IS SOMETHING LIKE THAT? "
"Yes it is... Apparently she was a rare snakes demi-human variants, capable of doing bothways. I'm not even sure she was he or he was she.. Probably I should use they or them I guess? What a shitty fate"
"So in that sense...? My friend Velskud the Blacksmith was? "
"Yeah.. He probably be done for, looked at his face... Death and yet living, you could smell the beer or wines there. "
"So.. To summarizes, My friend over there just woke up in random bushes and being done by goblin or something!? "
"Yeah he is.... "
"..... "
"...."
"....."
Realizing this facts making the guards in front of Nero feel devastated, they can't help to feeling frustrated to know how someone could fallen deeply because of drinking. A man honor was sullied yesterday night, and it will carry on , on the rest of his life's.
"Vell... Please just drink and forgot about this things... Again, your secret save with us... "
"Go.... "
"....."
"...."
Nero continued his path, his steps was woobly and silent as he proceed toward the 7-Thor smithy, Velskud home.
After a while he arrived at the 7-Thor Smithy.
The door was locked, but that couldn't stop him to open such primitive door with ease. He opened the door and then walking towards the bedroom. His gaze fell into something in front of him, a bottle of beer.
He drink that beer, and then fell asleep.
