Gulp. Unlike what he had feared, Harto was relieved when he heard the sound of the medicine sliding down Zed’s throat. But just in case, he kept his lips against Zed’s and held his neck tightly. “Harto…” A low voice brushed his ear, calling his name. Harto immediately pulled his lips away and looked at Zed’s face. “Zed…? Are, you… ha, ha… are you alright? Ha, ha…” Maybe he had focused too much on the kiss. Harto spoke between rough breaths. In contrast, Zed looked…- 199.7 K • Ongoing
Harto changed into human form to check if his companions were safe. Allen and Leon were still lying inside the sand cocoons, but fortunately, both of them were breathing properly. Swish. Zed seemed to have regained his senses and tore open the cracked sand cocoon himself to come out. “Zed…!” Harto ran toward him. He checked all over to see if Zed was hurt, then let out a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness… I thought it was going to be serious.” When Harto lifted his head and…- 199.7 K • Ongoing
The red petals fluttered, and thick leaves dripped with sticky liquid. In the center of the flower, yellow stamens twitched like the antennae of an insect. Its form was grotesque, but what was more horrifying were the teeth visible between the stamens. Sharp fangs, fit for a shark, were lined up in rows. When he saw it, Harto did not feel fear at first, but his mind went blank at the unreal shape of the monstrous flower. Flap, flap. The monstrous flower flapped its petals like wings to catch his…- 199.7 K • Ongoing
Leon’s sudden, ridiculous shout startled him for a moment, but he quickly realized why. It was because of the fragrant oil he had rubbed all over his body the night before. The golden powder mixed into the oil made his black slime body shine like the stars in the night sky. “It’s an oasis! Look! I told you there was one!” Meanwhile, Allen started jumping up and down when he saw the water rising on the ground. With a bright, childlike smile, he lay flat on the floor and began waving his arms…- 199.7 K • Ongoing
“As expected, Harto isn’t a monster, he’s an angel!” Allen, delighted after gulping down the water, reached out to hug Harto. Zed grabbed the back of his neck in an instant and threw him aside. It was as if he were throwing away a piece of trash. “W-what’s that for, Zed…!” Allen fell flat on the sand and shouted in protest, but Zed only said shortly, “It’s hot,” and lifted his own water pouch to pour him a share. Only then did Allen’s angry expression soften. “Don’t…- 199.7 K • Ongoing
They hadn’t rested enough, but before the sun completely set, the group started walking south. Harto’s body felt heavy and weak, but he kept his human form and walked silently across the desert. The temperature gradually lowered, and the red sunset spread wide across the sky. Warm wind brushed softly over the sand dunes, and the surface rippled like waves. The sight was so beautiful that Harto wished he had a camera to capture it in a picture. This world had so many beautiful places. The mountain…- 199.7 K • Ongoing
“Are you sure this is the place?” Zed, who had stepped down from the carriage, looked around the barren wasteland and asked. There was not a trace of a clear pool anywhere near what had been called an oasis. Only a few blackened, dried, and twisted trees stood scattered around. The beautiful, fertile oasis Allen had described had completely vanished, leaving behind nothing but a desolate sight. Allen, more shocked than anyone, clutched his head with both hands and ran toward the…- 199.7 K • Ongoing
Leon and Zed each briefly complained, but since they knew there was no other choice, the group finally loaded all the luggage and got on the carriage. Clatter. Before Harto, the last to climb in, took his seat, he looked through the crack of the door at the golden desert stretching before him. The endless sand glittered under the sunlight like a vast lake. As Harto looked at the dazzling gold that resembled Zed’s hair, he asked. “Zed, what’s this desert called?” “You want to know the…- 199.7 K • Ongoing
The next morning, at the inn’s first-floor dining room, Allen sat at the table with a refreshed face. “Good morning! I slept like a rock last night. Guess it was a good idea to crash right after drinking so much yesterday.” Unlike the three who had suffered through the Feast District all night, Allen, looking perfectly carefree, ordered one thing after another. He was paying again this time, so thanks to him, they could eat a full breakfast just like dinner the night before. “Haaam……- 199.7 K • Ongoing
Leon’s teleportation spell brought the three safely to the front of the inn room. “I’m glad I set up a magic passage right after we arrived, just in case.” Leon rubbed the mark carved into the corner of the hallway wall, erasing it. It looked like a doodle unless one looked closely. “…Hm?” Sniff sniff. Leon flared his nostrils as if he caught a scent and murmured. “I think… something smells really good somewhere…?” Zed didn’t answer and led Harto into the…- 199.7 K • Ongoing
