( Liselle POV)
“20th of Quintilis, Year : 1200 AC, Day: Solis, Weather: Sunny
Today is my first time writing a diary. My name is Vlad Dawnstar. I am 7 years old. My Mommy is Emily Von Herbishire and my Daddy is Thomas Dawnstar. I am very happy with my life. Today I got to play with my Daddydy although he is busy now fighting with mutated evil monsters which eat people. My Daddy is a hero. Well Mommy is also nice to me. But sometimes she scolds me. I am gonna fight monsters someday beside my Daddy. But something strange happened after Daddy returned from his daily scouting. He started telling Mommy that we needed to leave this village as fast as possible. I think something happened with uncle today. Well it happens all the time. Oh. Mommy is calling me to eat. Gotta go”
Eh? Isn’t this diary very old? A guy as creepy as him was cute and childish when he was young huh? You don’t tell. If I knew that I have to a strange creepy guy’s room and read his diary, I never would’ve taken this bet at all!! But let’s continue reading what he wrote.
“24th of Quintilis, Year: 1200 AC, Day: Jovis, Weather: Rainy
Today I am really sad because Mommy scolded me again. I just wanted to go out to play. Why would she scold me over that? Today Daddy is also a little skeptic. He told Mommy that there is going to be a huge wave of evil monsters attacking our village. And he has to participate in the defense of the village together with Mommy. Surely they will return by the end of the day. Right? Mommy is a healer actually. So she supports my Daddy in battles.”
Is this already the end of the diary? There are many tore notes. Ah there is a letter inside. To whom? I’ll read it. I should go all the way.
“28th of Martius, Year: 1206 AC, Day: Saturni, Weather: Cloudy
Dear mom and dad,
Doctor told me that the best way of relieving psychological stress is writing. So I am writing to you. I am missing you both. Who am I kidding? I myself saw my mom’s corpse and grotesque scene of dad eating my mom’s corpse. Later it was revealed that a parasitic monster had occupied dad’s brain. Why? Why did it have to happen to my family? Had we sinned? That day I swore I will take revenge of destroying family on all the mutated monsters! But all I’ve done is train for these 6 years. Am I getting strong? I don’t know the standard anymore. After I ran from the doctor’s with only a sword I did not return. These past three years I’ve been killing monsters. I’ve killed monsters and ate them for living. I’ve been bathing in the blood of my enemies. What is the point of killing anymore? Do these monsters have any conscience? Who am I taking revenge on? I don’t know anymore. Hatred gives born to more hatred. This letter might n…..Wait is this a letter anymore? How do you write a letter again? I can hardly keep track of dates. I am thinking of returning to civilization then going on a journey after I get rid of this parasitic bitches’ nest. I think my attitude might have changed. Who cares? Changing attitude is a pain in the ass. Who will I act courteous for? I don’t have anyone left. Enough of this diary/letter.”

Tears start rolling down my face. How did a 13 years old kid survive against monsters? Wait 24th Quintilis!?? The first wave attack after a century of peace! It happened on 25th of Quintilis. Which means he is a survivor of the Volk Village Tragedy? The whole village was massacred by devourers. Wait there is another letter!?
“25th of Januarius, Year: 1210 AC, Day: Veneris, Weather: Don’t care
How many days have I been in the nest for? At least 4 years! Where can I find civilization? Where am I! Who am I! I know I am Vlad Crestfallen. I changed my name. I guessed that my family name will be on the victim ls I was just adding a little dramatic effect. I am just a little delirious because I haven’t talked to any life form in these past four years. I don’t know how people act now. Has anything changed? I saw a signboard. I am currently at the Illuminaris Continent. The closest city is Asteris. I am heading there now. End of letter. I mean I hope to talk to real people instead of writing letters without destination.
Ah! I finally reached the Asteris. And got into an inn. For the name I’ll write it tomorrow.” (Find out on the next episode of dragon ball z)
Well that explains his creepy behavior. I have done a wrong thing. I shouldn’t have read his writings without his permission. I’ll apologize the first time I see him. When we last saw him he was acting laidback and watched us with strange and hideous expression. Was he trying to smile at us? He is quite handsome now that I think about it. If he shaves I bet he will look even better.
I sense something. I look back and *Thud* Everything turns black.
(Vlad POV)
I finally reached this place Asteris yesterday. Now they use different type of currency called taels. By exchanging a few monster pelts that I’ve killed, I gained a handsome amount of taels. Well if the shopkeeper hadn’t helped me I wouldn’t be able to do shit. After that I earned some money from merchants’ guild. Oh that’s what they call the place where businessman dudes gather and buy stuff from adventurers. Another funny thing is now they call us adventurers. And apparently this is now a popular profession and many people are joining the douche band (Adventurer Guild). I have to take a shower, do a shave and then socialize with people. But now everything has changed. Houses are bigger than before. People are wearing weird clothing. At least to me it’s weird. I run to the tavern to satisfy my hunger. And there I see a group of girls sitting in the corner table. A beautiful elf girl is looking at me so I try to smile at them. Eh? Why is she looking at me like she is looking at a pedophile that is looking at a kid? Well…. Fuck you too. Well I finish eating Burg n’ Chick ultimate combo that I’ve ordered. Well the name was better than the rest. After that I go to my room that I’ve rented in the cats’ paw (lol) inn and keep my stuff on the bed, freshen up and go to the library to get an update on the world.

Everyone today is looking at me creepily, what is wrong with them? My clothes might be it. It looks like it has been stained by gallons of blood. Not wrong though. I talk to the guild receptionist lady and take a history book. I immediately start reading it.
Apparently the monster attack that happened on my village was the 1st monster wave attack in the last century and everyone died according to the book. But I’m alive, take that motherfuckers. Now they have gotten accustomed to the monsters and call them devourers. The weapons guild found a special way to create a weapon that can kill them. But normal weapons can also kill them, I killed ‘em myself with norms. You just gotta know the weak points. Now is 26th of Januaris. It’s been a day already from when I have returned to civilization.
.
.
Enough info gathering. I need to go back to the inn and bathe and do a shave.
Eh? My door is open. Is there a thief? I go in and silently creep up to the thief and hit the head and the thief faints. I flip the body to get a better look. What!? Isn’t it the same ‘pedophile look’ girl!? What was she doing in my room!
My diary and letters are scattered around. Did she read ‘em? Oh we are gonna have a long conversation about this when she wakes up. She is out cold. Well I’ll take a bath and a shave in the meantime.
.
Finally I look a little decent. I take a chair in front of the bed and sit there. She is snoring. I knocked her out, how can she sleep that peacefully? She looks pretty cute. Curvy body with well endowed breasts. Nice. She suits to my tastes.
.
.
How long does she plan to sleep!!! I go get a bucket full of water and pour it over her head.
“FUEH!!!!!??”
Eh? Fue? What the hell is that?
“Who are you and why are you reading my diary in MY room?” I ask solemnly.
“I am sorry. I l-lost a bet with my friends and they told me to do it after they witnessed you writing letters.” She is fidgeting while answering like a girl who is about to lose her virginity. Is she? I AM NOT A RAPIST! Am I? NO!
“Ok. But if you tell another soul what you read on this diary, you should know the consequences of your actions.” I tell seriously.
“You are not going to rape me?” She looks a little relieved. Don’t be relieved little lady. THIS JOURNEY TOTALLY FUCKED WITH MY HEAD!
“N-no I am not. Now scram to where you came from!” I say and she runs out.
Well now that’s over. But someone read ‘em eh? It was bound to happen anyways. I might’ve been a little too rude with her, I’ll apologize tomorrow.
For now I need to go to sleep. I guess I’ll join the douche band tomorrow and take some quests to earn some money. I’ll finally live a laidback life from now on.
.
.
*Knock**Knock*
“Huh?” It is 1 AM. Who can it be? Why doesn’t anyone let a man sleep at night!!
I open the door and I see the girl again. I am seriously going to do her if she doesn’t have a good reason to disturb me.
“I am really sorry for my behavior and I’ve come to compensate for what I-I’ve done. You c-can do anything t-to me tonight.”
EHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!?
“I forgive you and don’t go telling that to any man over small mistakes. If you told this to any other man, it would’ve been dangerous. You are quite beautiful so preserve it. Don’t do this act again. Okay?” I tell her while controlling myself.
“O-Okay. You are a good man, aren’t you?” She blushes and runs away.
The hell is she talking about? Well I’ll let her have her fantasies and now I feel a need, a need for sleep.
I go to sleep again.
