"At the prison cell of Lukas, Lukas found Yuki's Gem. He used appraisal to see Yuki's attribute."

"Yuki's Attribute Gem (Core Form)"

"Core form a state where it's neither dead nor alive."

"Yuki or other Mythical beings can transform into core after getting killed, their beast essence will form a Core which hold them up to 10 years."

"To resurrect a Mythical Beast you need a 1000 Mythical Beast Core or a 1,000,000 low beast core

"Lukas eyes was brighten that he can resurrect Yuki even though the amount is huge. He now has a hope to be together again with his companion."

"Lukas eyes now are full of life and swore that he will resurrect Yuki. He also swore that he will kill the humanoid who kill Yuki and everyone in the village."

"Lukas before he lost consciousness what he saw that time is not a Human it has a black scales all over it's body so his only leads is it's a type of monster."

"He then think of something to get out of this prison and go back to the absul forest."

"Lukas become a new sensation in the arena. His every match was eagerly awaited, everyday Lukas was fighting monsters and collecting their Core/Gem."

"For a month Lukas Collected 60 Legend to low beast core. It might be small but for Lukas it's a step to keep him move forward."

"Until 1 day Lukas was waiting for his match but there were no guards to pick him up, suddenly Lukas heard a familiar voice."

"This Voice is!? —Lukas thought."

"Lukas was slightly shock when he saw a familiar face it's jewel the merchant he first met."

"Jewel!? I, I thought you are also dead!? —Lukas said."

"Haha, no I'm not dead at the time everyone was celebrating some urgent things happened in the store so I go back to check, my family knights where there and they want to take me back home And suddenly, I heard a loud bang like something exploded at the plaza. I want to rush back and see what happened but my family knights takes me away —Jewel said as she was crying."

"I'm sorry, if only I go back that time you won't be here. I'm sorry, I only know that you are here after I heard that some scary man with black hair and a crimson eyes are slaughtering monsters non-stop at first I thought they are just rumors but do you remembered Ratiff? The mercenary I hired when I first saw you? —Jewel said."

Yes, I remembered him, but why is that? —Lukas said."

"Ratiff saw you when you first entered the arena, he saw you losing your mind. He saw how frightening you are, he said you are like monster in human form at that time Ratiff doesn't know why you become like that until he heard that you lost Yuki. Ratiff then came to our house but I was traveling at that time. I just got to talked to Ratiff yesterday and he said that you are in the colosseum fighting monsters as a prisoner. —Jewel said."

"I see, thank you for visiting me Jewel but now I'm okay, I had now a new goal so don't worry anymore. —Lukas said as he smile to jewel."

"Jewel was sure that he was talking to real Lukas but she felt like something was different as if this is not the Lukas he once knew. She just think that it's understandable because of what happened to Lukas and Yuki."

"Jewel command the guard to let Lukas go."

"Lukas was out of his cell."

"What? —Lukas asked."

"Don't worry you are now free, I paid you out to be released. But don't worry what I used to pay for you is your remaining money you had in us. —Jewel said as she smile at Lukas."

"Lukas feel happy at the same time he feels guilty. He feels like ever since he woke up in this world everyone who he encountered is good to him. He felt warm but his heart already turn to stone so."

"Thank you, I'll repay this kindness someday. —Lukas said."

"Don't worry about that, so let's get out of here? —Jewel said."

"After leaving the colosseum Lukas and Jewel are talking."

"So what are going to do now? If you want I can offer you to become my personal guard? —Jewel said."

"I'm sorry, but I have something I need to do before I can live a simple life. —Lukas said."

"I see... —Jewel said."

"Even though Jewel already know Lukas answered she still feel a little disappointed but."

"If you ever need my help, I'm always here so just say a word. —Jewel said with smile on her face."

"Right, before a forgot Mr. Gerv asked me to tell you to go pick your weapon in the village it might become dull if you leave it there. —Jewel said."

"And so those two said their goodbyes to each other."

"Jewel's waving his hand as Lukas was leaving."

"Outside of Roth Kingdom, Lukas was standing outside cover his self with hood cloak. Lukas was walking not too far from the Kingdom when someone in wagon passing by."

"Ey, young man do you wanna ride? —Old man said."

"It might be look messy but it's comfortable in their. —Old man said as he look to rice stalk."

"Lukas takes the old man kindness and sat down at the rice stalk."

"Where are you going young man? —the old man said."

"Silent"

"Ey, it's gonna be boring with you don't talk and the mood will become awkward, you know? —The Old Man said."

"I'm going to the village. —Lukas said."

"The old man glimpse to Lukas and see he is carrying a worn out sword."

"I see, so you're an adventurer, base on your clothes and that worn out sword you might be a pretty decent adventure. —The Old man said."

"Lukas was silent."

"Young man would you be kind to listen to this old man? —The Old Man said."

"Silent."

"I'll take that as a yes, you see I had a wife and a two kids maybe about same age as yours. It's was a boy and a girl, they are my everything my wife and my kids. But you see I don't know what terrible luck me and my family has, while we were just happily celebrating for overcoming a difficult situation. At that time I left my wife and kids celebrating I just made a quick back at our house to get my precious alcohol that I been saving, and suddenly a heard a loud noise like something explode. I rush back worried about my family and to my horror my family was gone everyone in the plaza was dead. I was devastated I cried and cried when I embrace my family's cold bodies. I also asked god what have we done wrong? I question why, why this happened to us? And I heard a news that the perpetuator has been caught. And the execution will happen in colosseum, at that time I was so frustrated, I was angry, mad, and then I saw a young man in cuffed, for a moment I was so shocked wh-what...? It's a young boy.. my family was killed by a young boy?.. and then I saw the young man started killing the monsters, I was shocked as I watched, I looked at his eyes suddenly my heart's aches. Why? You killed my family so why you looked so sad? W...h..y~!? I still remember clearly the young man looks as he tears the monsters apart. —The Old man said."

"Lukas was silent."

"You know young man? Even if it's hard you still need to carry on, so that when you meets your love ones you can smile, forgive this old man for listening to his rants. We're here—The Old man said."

"Lukas jumps down."

"You're still here, that means your story isn't over yet. Someday when you meet your love ones again you had a story to tell, so keep moving forward until you meet them. —Lukas said as he walks away."

"The old man just smile and go on his way."
