《My life as a human knight has begun》c 44
Advertisement
Now I've done it... Modra will surely leash his army upon these humans for revenge. Ah... it doesn't matter anyway for as it will occur whether in short time or in future. Let's worried about that later.
I take the short sword from Janjar's body and lean that dead body at the big stone. My eyes carefully observe his facial and all over his body part. It's full of scars and bruise from that impact earlier. Then, the past about me with him suddenly strike in mind.
He may be cruel to human... but for me, he's an acquaintance that will always remember his debt on others. Furthermore, he and Yalyamarec are the only one reason that I can have a home-like situation in the meeting.
Anyway... all I want to say is... thanks for all those amusing chatter from before until now, Janjar. I really appreciate it.
Now, I'll have to take this body for my proof to them. In truth, I do not want to hand him over to those human, but without proof... it'll just a child's talk when entering the adult conversation.
While carrying Janjar on my shoulder, I notice that his crippled army is still breathing. That's right, I forgot to finish them earlier. I put him carefully on the ground and raise my hand in the air to create the black spear.
It will take a time to finish these creatures so let's take it slow. As my eyes suddenly catch one of Janjar's normal foot soldier, he stares at me with an killing intent and let out his loud language. Maybe he cursed me for killing his leader.
I only feel obligated to him and not of his army, so...
"You better be grateful for your leader to have a good relationship with me... for as I'll end your suffering with instant. Know your stupidity and arrogance, I want to let you as you be right now for eternity, but in order to respect him... I shall end your misery now" he became quiet and tremble after hearing my word. Is he can understand my word?
Nevertheless, my black spear has reached its fullest potential. Adding with my new 'small' strength, this forest will be burned to crisp. Hmph, whatever~ here I go...!
*******************************************************************************
Finally, out of the forest. I cannot rely on Godin's teleportation after I told him to rest in my house... he's already used too much mana for this day.

As I can see this vast field, there are two humans who mount on the horses, wearing a full set of armour and left their face shown. I begin to irritated by their smirk toward me.
"I'm glad that you're saved! I'm Giggs from the royal knight and he's my right man, Velt. We've been told to taking you to the meeting point at the Rossac Guild by Miss Clive. Even Prince Wallen has waiting for your arrival"
"To be honest... if I've to wait for another an hour for your, I'll assume that you are already dead...but I see you're a tough one, boy. What are you carrying on your shoulder?" the man called Velt asking me while looking puzzled
"It's Janjar, one of the twelve symbols. I plan to take him to show at Prince Wallen"
They look each other after hearing my words, and begin laughing with hard," one of the twelves? surely you're mistaken. It's not an easy task to kill him"
"I think he just carries a random goblin that looks like that elder goblin, and then tells a lie in front of his majesty. I say he's fraud" Velt glares at me with a scornful face....
Now I want to kill these human asap.
"It doesn't matter, Velt. He'll soon knows his mistake when he tries to fool his majesty once we arrived. Right now, our duty is to escort him to the meeting point. Ride on, Sven the grand knight~" he's made fun of me now, has he?
"What's the matter? quickly get on with it, kid!" they really get on my bad side
"Just want to know, which direction headed to the Rossac and how long it distance"
"Hmm? ah, the course just straight to the north from my standing point here and we'll see a town there by half an hour while riding a horse with full speed, but let's take it easy here. Now, hop on"
"No need. I'll just head there all by myself. My leg and stamina are much greater than your brainless horse anyway"
"Y-you! how dare you speak like that to lord Giggs!"
"It's okay, Velt. I know he's angry for we just laughing at him earlier. I'm sorry, Sven. Let's be friends, okay? besides... no matter how much stamina you have... there's no way you could run while maintaining your stamina from running out. Even if you use a physical boost... that's most likely will never-"

"Don't compare me with the likes of you. I've no intention of becoming friends with you. Plus, I can see why you would hide behind your title rather helping your kin. It's a common thing for a weakling like you guys would do such disgrace. Now, I'll be heading first"
After hearing my words, they become more relentless and trying to pound me with their logic.... and of course, I ignore it. Since he said that only take a half hour by riding a horse with full speed... if I calculate it with my running. it only takes five minutes.
Since infusing magic with physical is some kind of human's speciality, I'll play along or I'll get trouble later.
"See ya, royal knight"
"H-hey, I said-"
"Physical boost maximize!" I literally make my aura glowing all over my body so that it looks like a physical boost spell.
I release some heavy dust on them the moment I dash forward. With my remaining stamina, I should be able to go back to Roca village after this. But damn... it's tiring.
**********************************************************************************
After leaving those human behind and dash for a while, finally, I arrived at the destination. I can see almost all the soldiers from the forest here, sitting while tending a wound by the healers. And there's a really fancy carriage that hogs all the spotlight from other carriages... It belongs to Wallen.
They waiting in the outside of town, looking with despair and defeat. Well, no matters to me... all I think is to keep my words and live up to my name, that's all.
"You're back!" I can hear a voice of girl echoing to my ears
"Hmm? Oh, it's you, Clive. How're you feeling now?"
"Well, my strength is not coming back for some reason... but all the injuries are healed"
"I see" well... I already took half of your strength, so just think of it as your payment to me.
Behind her is Trivith... who trying to hide from me. Are her eyes numb and red.... crying huh little human?
"Ah... Trivith, thanks properly to him"
"T-thank you-" I feel loath with her sudden change personality
"No need. After all, I only accept this because it's from Prince Wallen ask me to. If you want to thank, thank him not me" I left them to meet the prince hastily. Janjar's body has become rotten and smelly.
"S-Sven! How I'm glad to see you alright! are you got injuries anywhere? let my mages heal you now"
"There's no need. I'm fine..."
"But where's Giggs and Velt? I don't see them here..."
"More importantly, my prince. I have a serious doubt feeling on you now"
"W-what are you saying" he began to look scared after seeing me like this. Yes... I'm angry
Abruptly, I sense a malicious intent from behind. I really hate those who persistently interrupt me like a bug
"How dare you! trying to scare young highness like that! I, Falcor, will punish-" he raised his arm by trying to hammer his sickles
But before that attack land on me, my leg respond even faster than his words... the result is he's been throw away and hit one of the houses... causing it to collapse. I can tell I shattered his armour by my kick.
"I hate those who interrupt without my permission" I glare at those knights who already preparing their weapon. But after seeing that royal knight being outplayed... I already gain their obedience.
"Now, back to the topic. Why those royal knights do not participate in the war, Prince Wallen?"
"S-Sven, listen to me. I've my own reason...!"
"Okay, let us listen then. To be honest, I don't even like these Bardlin or Excadiablo's soldiers... let alone to protect them. But after seeing that massacre in the forest... I think they'll need more of your honest answer rather than me..."
"Well, I..."
My rage cannot hold up any longer," my patience has a limit!
Huh... what the...
Wh-what is this... why did my surrounding turn into the dark with suddenly? my leg also lost its strength...and my body also feels heavy...!
My... head... hurts... ah...

The Depths of Magic
Synopsis It's the year 2052 and the release of the new next-generation full-dive VRMMO game called The Depths of Magic is hitting the world by storm. The game's technology will surpass all other games before it and shock the masses. Hector who goes by the name Locke inside the game is an experienced player of the genre. He is looking to continue his goal of enjoying gaming as well as the competition that goes along with competing for the top ranking spots. Novel Summary The Depths of Magic is a LitRPG novel focused on a Fantasy VRMMO setting. This is not a harem novel. In-Game systems The Depths of Magic features state-of-the-art technology never before seen in Hector's world. The key system the novel will bring up often is the Second Brain. The Second Brain system is more like a guidance AI for the players in the game that acts as if you had a second brain assisting your every action. How much guidance this AI will give is based on its experience or mastery skills a player will receive in the game. The guidance is seamless to a point where a player won't even realize they are being assisted, it's will feel like what they are doing is something they could always do. However, once they leave the game it will become quite apparent that they were receiving heavy guidance. The purpose of this system in a writing sense is to explain why a player can realistically become more powerful, more agile, or more skilled than they would otherwise be able to as a human. To give an example if someone could move faster than a bullet, how would a normal human brain be able to perceive and control this movement properly. Or how could a player who has never held a sword before become as experienced as someone who has trained with the sword all their lives? The magic system will be another focus of this novel. I don't want to spoil anything here but it should be an interesting one. The hope is that the system I have made will spark discussion between the readers on what combinations will do what. I already have most of it, but it will be fun to read as the author. Side notes My general focus for this novel is to attempt to make the in-game systems make sense. To give a vague example I have read a lot of novels of this genre and some have the habit of just creating such powerful items that it just breaks the system, and somehow the MC keeps finding challenging situations even with those items. What tends to happen when I read a novel like this I just ignore the stats of the items he is getting because the numbers don't even matter anymore. Release schedule: The chapter release schedule due to real-life complications is to release as I write them. Patreon setup: 1 chapter early release/discord access. Free content up to the current chapter includes an excel sheet that contains Locke's current stats at the end of the chapter. This is extra information for those that are interested.
