Fantasy world-moon night saga
Chapters 002
"After I defeated the monster, peace returned to Azahur. However, the residents could not forget how the monster destroyed their homes. But eventually, they found peace of mind once a contract was made with the Hydra."After the contract, I named him Rahab, which means sea monster or serpent.
Seeing its human side, they immediately forgave it."
Eitan: "After making the contract with the Hydra, I couldn't tell if Zayin was angry or happy. Oh well, women really are hard to figure out, especially when they're such big eaters. What a headache!"
Sharah:"Eitan, Zayin mentioned that you should introduce yourself to the residents of Azahur and get to know them as well. This is good for the village and for the people living here so they can truly know who you are."
Eitan:"You're right about that... but I feel like it's so hard to walk. I'm so nervous, damn it!"
Sharah:"It's okay, they won't eat you. They'll just stare at you like they're gonna skin you alive! So good luck!"
Eitan:"You monster!!!!"
"After a few minutes, I finally stood before all the residents of Azahur. My body felt hot then cold all over. But moments later, the residents began introducing themselves one by one."
Eitan:"Why does it seem like there are so many different races here? Wait, where did the others come from? I honestly have no idea who or what kind of beings these people are."
Zayin:"Why does it seem like there are so many different races here? Wait, where did the others come from? I honestly have no idea who or what kind of beings these people are."
Zayin:"After you defeated the Hydra, a few hours later I went to the places I knew and gathered everyone I could find. I brought them here so they could live and so this world could expand and grow. I hope you aren't angry with what I did, Master."
Eitan:"What you did was right. But we need soldiers or fighters to protect them, because we won't always be there beside them."
Rahab:"You're right, Master. But we really need to introduce ourselves to all the residents of Azahur, especially you, Master."
Rahab:"I am Rahab. It is a pleasure to meet you all, and I ask for your forgiveness for what happened."
Zayin:"Call me Zayin. As for Master, you may address him as Beloved King, Young Master, or Young Prince."
"Let the residents of Azahur decide."
Rahab:"We will give you a few minutes to decide which one to choose. The time starts now!"
Eitan:"What kind of choices are these? It's so embarrassing, it feels like the whole world is crashing down on me from all this shame!"
Zayin:"Master, that's really how it is when you have a nation to serve. You need to be respected by your people."
Eitan:"Really? I had no idea."
Rahab:"It has been decided! The voting is over, and they chose 'Young Master'. From now on, this is what we will call you—Young Master!"
Eitan:"I feel like this is going to give me a headache!"
Aaron:"Young Master, I am Aaron, the leader of the high Elves. I just want to know if the reason you were brought to this world is indeed because of the Goddess, and if she appointed you to conquer this land?..
Eitan:"The Goddess? But I haven't seen her personally, and I don't remember ever meeting her."
Aaron:"If that's the case, then it would be good to serve you. Besides, most of my people don't like how the Goddess rules."
Eitan:"What do you mean by that?"
Zayin :"Finally, it's my turn, Master! Some of the species we've acquired are the Mercuries, Slimes, Beastkin, and the Dragonoids—who are half-dragon and half-human. They are all ready to serve you and this nation!"
Eitan:"That is good for everyone."
"After a few hours, I decided to travel and meet the people of this world. But Zayin told me that I need to seal or suppress my powers, so that the people I meet won't be afraid of me. So we thought of a way to do just that."
Zayin:"There is a way to seal your powers—a type of accessory you can wear. But I'm not a blacksmith, so I can't make something like that."
Aaron:"Young Master, this is Sit. He is a Dwarf, known as a master blacksmith. He can create anything you desire."
Eitan:"Zayin, anything works as long as I can wear it. Right?"
Zayin:"Yes, Young Master. We just need to set some Imperial Gemstones into it to serve as the seal for your powers. It will only work once a Light Spell is cast on it."
Eitan:"Alright, I'll just wait for it to be finished. Once it's done, I can finally go out and meet the people of this world. I'm so excited, let's go!"
"It will take about three days to finish the clothes and ring I ordered."A single ring should probably be enough. I was actually planning to have a gun made like Dante's, but I'm not a good shot so I didn't include it in the list."
Eitan:"Alright, a dark cloak and an item ring. It feels like I came straight out of a comic book!"
Rahab:"It suits you well, Young Master. Besides, we also matched the color of the gems to your outfit—red mixed with dark colors."
Eitan:"Before we proceed, I have one more request. I need a mask."
Zayin:???.....
Rahab:???
Eitan:"The reason is because of this face of mine. Even back when I was still on Earth, people always used to laugh at me because of how ugly I look. If that happened there, what more here? It feels like the gods are angry at me, like I've taken on all the bad luck in the world."
"As soon as I put on the mask, we immediately traveled using the carriage's portal. We were carrying fruits and headed towards Gimelion."
Eitan:"Your outfit looks familiar to me."
Zayin:"This red outfit is copied from the anime you watch at noon, and the sword is just like his too. It's the same for Rahab, but from a different anime. Mine is a fierce swordsman, while Rahab is a skilled detective. You're impressed, aren't you, Young Master?"
Eitan:"Anime cosplay costumes? You two are driving me crazy!"
"While on the road, I really enjoyed riding the carriage, especially since I was with companions dressed in anime cosplay costumes."
Eitan:"It feels great riding in this carriage, it's so light and comfortable!"
Rahad:"If that's the case Young Master, what kind of vehicle did you ride back when you were in the other world?"
Zayin:"Let me guess... a vehicle with wheels that runs on an engine, right? Did I get it right, Young Master?"
Eitan:"How did you know about that?"
Zayin:"Young Master, you seem to have forgotten that I can read people's minds. You've already forgotten what happened the other day, haven't you?"
Eitan:"Oh right! I really do forget things so easily."
Rahab:.....
Zayin:"Just relax, I'll give you an idea about what I know regarding Young Master."
Rahab:"I'm excited! Thank you, Zayin."
Eitan:"What are you two talking about? And what do you know about my memories?"
Zayin:"It's just a secret, because I still need to study and analyze all of it first."
Rahab:.…...
Eitan:"This journey is..."It seems like it's even worse than my face.
"After two hours, we finally arrived at the city of Gimelion. It isn't that big, but there are plenty of opportunities here, especially for merchants. I also noticed that people are giving flowers to those arriving in the city."
Zayin:"Young Master, we need to sell the fruits first before finding a place to rest. Our main goal here is the Guild."
Rahab:"That elderly person waving... we can sell our products to them."
Elder:"Your produce is beautiful and still fresh. Wait, most of the fruits you're carrying... I've never even seen them here before. I don't know what kind of fruits these are, but they look amazing! A lot of people will surely buy these. I'll buy all of them for one hundred gold coins."
Eitan:"Sure, go ahead and take them. Finally, we've managed to sell everything!"
Elder:"Wait, you guys are new here, aren't you? This is the first time I've seen your faces. What are you doing here? Aside from selling things, what else brings you to this city?"
Eitan:"We actually want to join the Guild. Could you please tell us where it is located?"
Elder:"Ah, that's easy. Do you see that bar over there? The Guild is right behind it. But be careful if you plan on joining. Choose your quests wisely, times are hard now. There are way more monsters in the mountains compared to before."
Eitan:"Thank you very much."
Elder:"It's nothing. I just hope you don't end up like what happened to those ten young people. Such a waste, they were still so young."
Zayin:...hmmm!!!!
Rahab:"Young Master, I have a bad feeling about this place. It feels like something isn't right."
Eitan:"That's exactly what I feel too. If you look closely, the way people stare at you... it's like they want to eat you alive."
Zayin:"Let's just head to the Guild instead. We might be mistaken for bad guys here."
"Upon entering the Guild, I noticed there were very few people inside, and most of them were injured. I asked the person in charge, and they told us the Guild has lost its reputation ever since the accident happened. We also couldn't register yet because the Guild Master hasn't returned. So, we decided to just come back tomorrow."
Zayin:"Young Master, I think this is the INN here. It looks a bit run down, but let's just go inside so we can rest."
Sarah:"We have a customer! Nana, are you coming back here? How may we help you?"
Zayin:"How much is it per night here?"
Sarah:"One gold coin per person."
Nana:"Hi! I'm Nana, and this is my older sister, Sarah."
Rahab:"Aww, you're so cute! I'm Rahab, and this is my Young Master, and this is Zayin."
Nana:"I am delighted to meet you all."
Sarah:"This way please, let me lead you to your rooms."
"After she showed us to our room, I tried asking Sarah what was going on and why there were barely any people at the Guild. She didn't say a word. I could clearly see fear in her eyes. She just apologized and then left."
Eitan:"The people here act really strange. Zayin, can you keep watch and see if you can gather any information? And it's about time to eat, Rahab... could you come with me?"
Rahad:"Of course! I've been wanting to spend time with you, Young Master."
Zayin:"I can definitely say that he's really a pervert.""Now I wonder where I should start. That kid, Nana... I can tell there's a mystery surrounding her. You can see in her actions and words that she's hiding something."
"After a few minutes, Zayin observed the child until she left in the middle of the night to sell her goods. Unexpectedly, she met someone dressed in white, and Zayin secretly followed them. Meanwhile, as soon as we arrived at the restaurant, someone immediately approached us."
????:"Stop right there if you want to live. Hand over what we're asking for!"
Rahab:"There are hundreds of them, Young Master. If you permit it, I can kill them all right now."
Eitan:"Don't do that. Just teach them a lesson and leave them alive."
Rahab:"It shall be done, Young Master."
????:"Did you really think you could kill us all? There are hundreds of us! The two of you can't handle this! You'd better just—"
"Before their leader could even finish speaking, Rahab knocked him out cold with a single punch. Moments later, his hundreds of companions collapsed one by one. Right after Rahab finished the job, Zayin emerged from the shadows."
Zayin:"Young Master, I found something out. According to Sarah, the invaders plan to seize the city of Gimelion tonight. They are going to attack, and the entire city is already prepared, but they are lacking in both manpower and weapons."
Rahab:"Young Master, what are we going to do?"
Zayin:"Young Master, this is exactly what we've been waiting for! Your dream of becoming a true merchant will finally come true. Think about it—if you protect this city, they will give you whatever you desire. This is a great opportunity for us!"
Eitan:"You're right, but how exactly are we going to do that?"
Zayin:"It's actually quite simple. Here is my plan."
After the plan was explained, he immediately went to where Sarah and her group were gathering. Moments later, the invaders arrived. They tried to release several fire spells, but I didn't expect to defeat most of them so quickly while I was up in the air. Everyone was shocked when they saw me floating in the sky! The attackers launched their assaults, but with a single sweep of Zayin's sword, the majority of them were slain instantly. Only a few managed to escape.
After the night ended, the people of Gimelion were overjoyed. According to Sarah's report, we learned that the city of Aleft no longer exists—it was conquered first and is now nothing but ashes. After turning that city into ruins, the invaders intended to do the same to Gimelion next. The entire city is now grateful and has begun celebrating.
Sarah:"Thank you so much, all three of you. If it weren't for you, I don't know where we would be. So, in the name of our city, we offer you our deepest gratitude."
Eitan:"What matters most is that you have finally gained your freedom. Don't worry, I will help you in any way I can."
Sarah:...
Zayin:....
"The next day, we proceeded straight to the Guild to register. I signed up as both a Merchant and a Missionary, but the two of them chose not to. I don't know why, and I didn't press them about their motives."
Zayin:"Young Master, I asked Sarah where we could build a structure. She recommended a spot near the Inn, which I really liked because it's also close to the restaurant. By the way, she already started getting her business fixed up. I've also paid for the land and the construction of our store."
Eitan:"We need to go back to Azahur first to prepare. Even if we have a store, it's useless if we don't have any goods to sell."
Zayin:"The Elves can help us with that."
