"Heh, you are just like me, lad. Traveling around while searching for something new, Haaaaa... But anyway, Gabriel, I need you to go to the Capital City."
"Huh? Why?"
"To register yourself as a noble of course, While you already have an ID, you still need to go to the Dragon Peak City, which is the name of our Capital and go to the Prime Minister office, then he will give you the paperwork."

"Hello"
"Ahhh, Gabriel the Red Saint, What can I do for you?"
"You know?"
"Heh, every person inside the City knows about you, lad."

"Anyway, Nusas, I just want to inform you that I want to cancel my order from before."

After arriving at the city gate, Gabriel greeted by the Guard who walked toward him and said.
"Gabriel sir, Thank you for healing me, if not for you I will never be able to walk again."
"Think nothing of it; I'm just doing what is right."
"Thank you once more, sir"
Gabriel then walked outside the gate and continue to walk to the north following the main road to Capital City. As he walked for about 30 minutes, Gabriel hears a scream coming from the distance, so he began to run toward the scream location. After running for about 3 minutes, Gabriel able to see a group of people surrounded by 30 Orcs and 50 Shadow Wolf.
He then began to summon his Sword Projection and launch it toward the Orc, who died instantly. He then began to kill the other Enemy with his Sword and sometimes using his Biological power; after fighting for about 10 minutes Gabriel and the people that get attacked able to kill all the monster.
After the monster has been slain, the carriage that gets attacked gets opened, and from the carriage coming out, a little girl who is crying her eyes out while saying.
"Please save my Daddy. Daddy is bleeding. He... he..."
Gabriel then walked past the little girl and slowly reaches the Man that has a massive wound on his chest, his power informs him the man's heart is stabbed a little and only have a little time left.
He then quickly use his power to close all the man wounds before purifying all Dark magic that residue inside the man-body. After a few seconds, the man's breath began to calm down as the man's face color began to back to normal.

"He will be okay."
"Really?"
"Yes"
"Promise?"
"En, I promise."
"Thank you."

A Nation of Distances (possibly a dystopian love story)
Michael lives in a toxic macho world with extreme male hierarchy. When he gets a weird rating that makes his place even more problematic he's forced to choose a fiancée at a Wife School, and he slowly discovers more about the other side of the great divide between the sexes in The Nation. If only the world would stop being so complicated... On the other side there's Megan, who's more interested in books than in marriage, and the unpredictable Eliza who seems to have a connection with Micheal already. Will they be able to cross the distance and become friends against all the rules of their own world, or will they just be crushed? Are positive relationships between men and women even possible? And is there a way to change the world or is that just a naive thought of a silly wimp? 'A Nation of Distances' is a slightly dystopian dialogue-heavy drama set in a low sci-fi future setting about the war between the sexes, disconnect and friendship. The genre will fluctuate in between more slice-of-life parts and soft sci-fi drama with possible romantic elements, with alternating lead and switching perspectives once more of the main characters are established. Content Warning: Certain concepts and scenes might be disturbing and/or triggering to some, even though the story itself won't be extremely heavy most of the time. Sexism as a double-edged sword destructive to both sexes is an important part of the story, but so is friendship.Note that all descriptions of persons and places are purely fictional and made up by the writer, and any resemblance with anything in the real world is a coincidence, since the real world is not supposed to be dystopian anyway!
