I wake up next morning. It’s early morning. I go to Alec's room and wake him up.

“Woi, Wake up! We are leaving.” I said while waking up Alec.

“Five minutes...”

“No, Wake up right now.”

“Fine... Good morning.”

“Let’s go. We are leaving. I’ll explain later.”

We reach the main door. Irwin was waiting their.

“Got the stuff I told you?”

“Yes, Seji. Right in this bag.”

“Good job.” I said.

“What Stuff?” Alec asked.

“I’ll tell you on the way. Let’s leave before Mei wakes up.”

“See you sir seji. Good luck on your adventure.”

“Thank you. Take care of everyone in village. And tell that lady, ill bring her child back.”

“Alright. Thank you.” Irwin said. And we went to village door. And I see Mei their.

“What took you guys so long? I’m waiting here from 10minutes.” Mei said.

“Uhhhhhhhh, that irwin... Did he woke you up?”

“Indeed. He told me your plans. So I was here before you.”

“That bastard.”

“Hey Mei.” Alec said.

“Heyyy Alec.”

“Well, at least you guys get along.”

“I assume you are here because you are going to find killer of your father?”

“Exactly, I am." Mei replied.

“Fine. Don’t die on us, brat. Let’s start our adventure.”

“Yes, Sir!!” they both said.

“Wait. Seji, my bags are heavy so help me carry it please.”

“Ttttt-Three giant bags?!?” Me and Alec said while being shook by her bags.

“You brat. I’m going to throw these all in river. Just get basic stuff! Right now!”

“But, it’s important... Please?” she made teary face.

“tch, I’m going to throw them in a canal.”

“Then what’s point of carrying them.” She gives hopeless look and just takes one luggage.

“Good girl." I said.

“Let’s go.” Alec said.

I look at Alec's face and the black robe guy's word again hit my mind.

“Well, I don’t want to stay behind and don’t want you guys to leave me either, so.. Its fine.”

“Alright, then let’s go!”

We are walking out of village that I see the lady who lost her child.

“Hey!!! Wait!!”

“Oh, hey lady Chelsea!” Alec said.

“Oh, you guys know each other.” Mei said.

“Yea, her son was sold in underworld.”

“Hellow, sacred devil. Hellow Alec. H- . Nevermind.” Lady said. She ignored Mei.

“Hello. And Mei is here too you know.” I said.

“But, she’s daughter of that sick man.”

“She have nothing to do with his deeds.”

“Seji, Calm down...”

“I’m calm, Alec. I’m just saying, Mei lost her father, just like Mrs. Chelsea lost her son. If she’s going to blame someone it should be , Myst. But he sacrificed himself.”

“I am sorry..” Mei said.

“You got anything to say to her lady?”

“I’m sorry, Mei. I shouldn’t be mean to you.”

“it’s fine. I understand. Father did bad to you.. “

“It’s alright. I’m dumb to hold onto these memories. I should believe he died...”

“Well, now that it’s all good. I’ll fulfil the promise alec made you.”

“I’m Grateful, Sir, Sacred Devil.”

“Yea.. and I’m a human, probably. Never mind, we got to go. See you later lady.” I said.

“We will find your son.” Alec said.

“I’ll try my best.” Mei said.

We start walking. We are walking then I ask them,

“Hey, you guys.”

“What’s up, seji" Alec said.

“What is it?” Mei said.

“Well, you see. Let’s directly go to capital. And I need a special sword. And sword training. And some people to learn things from.”

“That's... uh, a lot? Don’t you think?”

“It is quite a lot actually.”

“Well, I need to get stronger. Like a lot stronger.”

“Orip and his thugs weren’t even fighting type magic user. Neither was Myst. No wonder they went down easy as hell. But the guy in robes... he’s completely at different level.”

“who?” Mei asked.

“You faced off with robe guy?”

“Yea, he was not only after Myst. Instead, that was a complete diversion. He was after my blood.”

“And why is that?” Alec asked.

“Who are you talking about?”

“The robe guy, remember I told a maid meeting him?”

“Yes, I do.” Mei replied.

“Yea, he’s the one. He was strong. Like completely at different level. What I faced till now was nothing but scratching of surface. He easily diverted my dark spear. And you know, it’s not really a direction changing spell...”

They get shocked.

“He even survived dark flames. Like, I was tickling him. Only if I had seen his face. But, none the less. He was keeping an eye on us.,”

“Since when?” Alec asked.

“The time we both entered village, I guess.”

“But why?”

“I don’t know. He never told me anything.”

Then, I remember what he said about Alec.

‘That purple light of his will take everything from you.’

“Hey, Ale..uh, never mind. Let’s go capital.” I said.

After 5 minutes of walk.

“Hey! Look there's a Horse wagon on stand.." Mei said.

“Let’s go ask for a ride.” I said and we ran to the horse wagon.

“Don't leave me behind guys!” Mei said. She was slow since she was carrying the bag.

“Come! You slow poke.” I said.

Me and Alec already reach the cart.

“Hello?” I said.

No reply came. Then Alec tried, “Hello? Is anyone here?”

“Let me sleep for 5 minutes more, Rachel.”

Me and Alec feel awkward. A middle aged man was sleeping.

“Old man! I’m not Rachel.” I said.

“huh?!?” He opens his eyes slowly and notices our faces. He says with a shocked face, “You guys are bandits?! I’m going to kill you if you don’t run.”

“Wait!! We are not bandits.”

“YOU GUYS!! DONT LEAVE ME BEHIND!” Mei shouted and caught up.

“Mei, you are slow poke.” I said.

“Fine Mister no help. Hello there sir.” She said.

“Are they forcing you to tag along?” old man asked.

“Like I want brats to travel with me.” I said.

“No no, i came with my own will.” She said while stepping on my feet.

“ouch! You little brat!”

“I’m not brat, I’m mei.”

“fine.”

“Don’t mind them sir. May I ask you to give us a ride to the capital city?” Alec asked.

“Fine. But I’ll charge for that.”

“But, you are going in same direction.” I said.

“Join or not. Up to. I have a family to feed, you know.”

“They hop in the wagon. Seji, come.”

“Uh, how much?”

“300 rugen.”

“Fine, let’s go.”

“Why you kids going to capital though?” Old man asked.

“Just have some business and will probably stay their for awhile.”

“I see and what’s your name?” Old man asked us.

“It’s Alec. Alec Rudworths.”

“That’s a nice name. I’m Silbrum. Nice to meet you, Alec"

“Its Mei Hazel.”

“Are you connected to the town ‘Gines’?

“Yes. My father was lord of that town.”

“I heard, he was killed by a devil. They say devil was helping villagers. But I doubt he just killed him for no reason. Anyways. I’m sorry for your father's death and what’s your name big guy?”

I raise my eyes. Then signed them to not say I’m devil to him.

“It’s fine, Mr Silbrum.”

“The Name is Sejiyoi.”

“Ahh. Pretty different name.”

“I guess so.” I replied.

“So, Mei. Did you saw the devil?” Silbrum asked.

I’m getting ticked. He keeps asking questions.

“Listen man. Can we skip this devil talk?” I'm getting sick of that now."

“Fine, young man. Don’t need to get mad.”

“Better. How much time till we reach capital?”

“About 10minutes more.”

30 minutes later.

“We are here!” Silbrum said.

“Yep. 10minites. Anyways, thank you old man. Here you go. 300 rugen.”

“Thanks for the business.”

He drops us at front door. Irwin had given me quite alot of money. I think it's around 10k Rugen. Rugen were like normal coins with King's face.

We try to enter the capital gate but guards stopped us and said, “Who are you? A Merchant? An adventurer? Or what?”

“We are new here in his city. We want to be adventurers.” I replied.

“I see. Get in then. But go to union guild fast for approval.” Guard replied.

“Thank you very much.” We all said, bowed and proceeded.

We went inside capital. Its massive. The houses are bigger. Shops are everywhere. And much more.

“WOOOOWWW! It’s so big!” Alec said with enthusiasm.

“Indeed, it is big. I have been here before many times.” Mei replied.

“Compared to my world it’s not so big but I have to say, it has quite a great feeling to it. Anyways, We need to find a hotel to stay. At least for tonight. But, first thing first. We need to go to union guild and register ourselves as Adventurers. And I need to see the best blacksmith here.”

“Why black smith, seji?”

“I need a sword.”

“But, you don’t know swords man ship.” Mei replies

“Yea, I’ll pick up a little somehow.”

“Let’s look for union guild first.”

“I am tired. Can't you guys help me carry this luggage.”

“No.”

“Please!! Come on!!” She starts shouting. Everyone is looking at me.

“Fine-Fine! Don’t make a mess. I’ll carry your luggage ok? For this once only.” I replied.

“Yay!”

“Let’s go.” I said.

We ask a shop keeper. He was selling fruits. A red coloured fruit kind of apple but not really an apple.

“Hey, sir. Can you tell us where Union Guild is?”

“Huh? Nothing is for free kid. Everything takes money.”

“And what if I was given money to kill you?” I said with a grin.

“Then come and kill me.” He said while cleaning the fruits.

“Fine. How much are these fruits worth?”

“10 rugen for a piece.”

“Give three.”

“Here you go.”

“Now tell me where is Union guild?”

“Go straight from here, then take left and then take a right and again straight. You will see union guild board.”

“Okay. Let’s go. Alec, Mei.”

They were standing a few feet away. I hand them over the fruits. We take a bite and it tastes somewhat like mix of pineapple and apple.

“This is tasty. What is it called?” I asked.

“I don’t know. But, its tasty.” Alec replied.

“It’s called ‘Malsos'.” Mei said.

“Ahh, I see.” I replied.

And some old man hits in me. I keep walking just saying “I Am sorry.” And signing bye with my right hand.

“It’s fine.” He replied back while walking his way.

We reach union guild after 5 minutes of walk. It’s a big building. And we are standing in front of that big door. I can hear hustle and rustle inside guild. It was quite noisy, maybe because it was an union guild. But we open the door and went inside. Things seemed good. A reception , a bar some stairs leading upwards. And other necessities.

“Welcome to union guild. What request would you like to offer?” The receptionist said. A braided hair young black haired women, wearing white cloths.

“Hi!” Mei said.

“Hello" Alec said.”

“Thank you for the welcome. But, we would like to be an adventurer.”

“Alright. But, I’ll need you to fill the Adventurer form.”

“Form? Seriously? Never mind. Give them lady.”

“The name is Karen.” She said while handing forms to me.

“I see. Mei, fill them all.”

“Fill yours yourself.”

“Fill or I'll put you in your luggage and throw in river, brat.”

“Uh, I’ll tell you what to write and which alphabets. You write yourself.” Mei said.

“Fine." I replied.

“I’ll fill my own myself." I look at Alec and then that assassin's line again hits me.

‘The purple light of your friend will take everything from you..”

I shake my head and say; Never mind.

Mei helps me fill the form. Since spoken was same, language grabbing was much easier. We filled the forms.

“Here you go, karen.”

“Thank you. You will need to submit 200 rugen per person to get adventurer card. It's magical card which works on blood drop.”

“That’s Alright.” I give her 600 Rugen. And she looks in her drawer to get Adventurer cards. They were black color and blank.

Out of curiosity, since back when I played MMORPG called Anire online. A member caller 'Karen' was in my guild. Should I ask her if it’s her?

“Hey, Karen. Were you transported to this world?”

“Is that a cheesy pick up line?” She said with a smile.

“Never mind.” I said.

“Well, No and here you go adventurer card. Please, Use this pin to have a drop a little blood drop on the adventurer card.”

I used the pin and pierce my thumb, enough to drop a blood drop. And the Adventurer card shined on green where the writing was appearing. She had put my card on my form. And same with others.

Alec repeated after me. Mei hassled but it was done.

“Here you go, Sejiyoi, Mei, Alec. You cards.”

“How this functions?” I asked.

“The names you wrote on form were written here. But your blood told your abilities to card and it wrote it. It registers even your race.”

“I see.”

“But not name. You need to have form for that.”

“I see.”

Mei was looking at her card.

“Name: Mei Hazel. Race: Human and Vampire. Abilities(Ascending according to power): Ice, Water, Blood!?!”

“Guess you do inherited abilities from your mom.”

“I guess so. But, it's quite shocking I can’t use them.”

“Yea. Sucks to be you.” I said to Mei.

“Oh yea. Tell me your ones then."

“Neme. Uh, wait. I guess it’s name. Name: Segyqu. What the heck. It's sejiyoi.”

Mei looks at my card and says, “Hopeless creature. It’s written right, you suck at reading.”

“Eh, really? Read for me then.”

“Fine! Give me.”

Alec chuckles a little.

I hand it over to Mei.

“Name: Sejiyoi Midaro. Race: Human. Abilities: Void.”

“Void!!” Karen said in a shock.

“What's that?” I asked.

“Not much is known about Void users but, Legend says, they can learn every single type of Magic.”

“Ah, I see."I said with enthusiasm.

“But, it maybe a rumour.” Karen said.

“You broke my spirits lady..”

“Sorry-Sorry. But, I have heard that, The master of ‘The Elementals' Which is one of the top three guild's is said to posses void too.”

“I see. Where can I find him?”

“Go to their Guild. He should be their.”

“I see. I will. But, may I ask you to tell me a hotel? For staying"

“I guess I could tell you but, Elemental have a big Guild with plenty of rooms. You can say their.”

“oh well. I'll see that. ”

Alec was just listening silently but then Mei asked, “Hey, Alec. What your card reads?

“It reads, Name: Alec Rudsworth. Race: Angel and Demon?! Abilities: Light and Dark...” Alec stares at his adventurer card, he didn’t move his eyes a single bit. It felt like the despair was taking over him.

The purple seal again operates. It shines covers over his neck again. The pattern is bigger this time and he faints again.

“ALEC!!” Mei shouted.

Everybody starts looking at us.

“Take him upstairs to any room. I'll go and call doctor.” Karen said.

“Okay, thank you karen.” I replied.

“Mei, What he read on his card?” I asked Mei. While we are taking Alec to upstairs.

“H-he read that, Angel and Demon..”

I’m thunderstruck..

An angel and demon?
