It was time for school we finsh the report and now write a short term goal for my future. As the class went to their groups of friends. No one stay at this table so Karl and Silas took a sit here. I have to take a look at Silas paper first I need to finsh mine. My goals: to raise my Mercenary rank up to Obsidium. Take over mother's Trade Company. And last to help Karl to get some confidence before it to late.

"Karl may I see your paper"

"Yes please not show Silas"

Her goals were predictable: Ask grandma if I can work at the inn and a room to stay in. Take any and all chances to get closer to Silas. At best we will get marry if that doesn't work I will be happy being his mistress. Last find a way for Zuri to stay as well. If Zuri turn into a girl, she can marry him that will be happiest ending.

This girl will be really bold if that shell of hers is ever broken. I wouldn't mine if things turn out that way. Silas and I will have to stop butt heads for that ever happen first. Look like Silas is finsh with his time to take a look.

"Silas, are you done may I see your" (Zuri)

"If you trade papers" (Silas)

"Ah it a deal" (Zuri)

I don't care if he looks at mine this is for Karl. His Goals: to get stronger to enter the former Demon Lord of the Wretches' vault. Sell off all the lost technology and knowledge that is inside. If he's luck it collected manga and how to books for manga. Then make my own that will bring back the profession Mangaka.

What is this it had words I never heard of before. The scary part is he is planning to enter the bellua's world to accomplish his plan. Either he is brave or a fool to think he can do that. All in all it look like he will stay here for at less ten or more years. This will help karl with her goal.

"Karl why did Zuri write you lack confidence." (Silas)

"WHAT. Zuri why did you write that." (Karl)

"Then show him your paper." (Zuri)

"I no I-iii-I no I can't but this maybe a chance. I can't ruin this hm........" (Karl)

"It's okay, this was just a fun project to get thinking about such thing. I don't need see it." (Silas)

"Yeah, if it's Silas your goal maybe to leave the village." (Karl)

"No plans to leave here for a few years." (Silas)

"*clap* That great 'My plan may work'." (Karl)

"Silas, what is this manga and the job Mangaka?" (Zuri)

"A Mangaka is kind of artist that tell stories. The stories are fictional and were call manga. The former Hero of Humans wasn't from here. His homeland it was quite common. Or that what mom said. She overheard that when the hero was talk to a party member. It's one of the things human lost when the Demon Lords rule earth." (Silas)

"So your goal is to bring back an ancient artform" (Zuri)

"Yea it's stupid" (Silas)

"It better then my plan to that over my mother's business or Karl's plan to work at your inn" (Zuri)

"Mom might plead to grandma but running the inn is a family thing" (Silas)

"Then ma......" (Zuri)

Karl cover my mouth before I could say something more. Karl was smiling but her eyes were not. I have a big mouth I almost spill out everything. I manage shook Karl off of me she wouldn't let me go.

"Well find, whatever, Silas try helping Karl with a job. The orphanage will kick her out when school is over" (Zuri)

"Karl you could had just ask they like you to much to say no and whatever that goal is hope you can retrieve it" (Silas)

"Y-yy-y-Yes, and you too, I'll support you" (Karl)

"How lovey-dovey you humans are" (Zuri)

These two are so close to eachother that they can make their own world. I was a little annoy that I couldn't join them when that happen. As this was going on the alarm bell was ringing outside then the barrier shattered. Silas had a weird look like he was entertain as it happen. Then change to one of wondering what to do when he look at us.

"Karl, Zuri the teacher is about to escort us to the town shelter, but it's a bellua that make hiding impossible" (Silas)

"I agree, mother told me the same so what the plan" (Zuri)

"The only ones whom can shatter the barrier are those over tenth rank. So no normally person can fight back. If there was an abnormal or someone with a Hero's remnent other then me. We would have a chance" (Silas)

"Yeah, you never took that training seriously" (Zuri)

"Whatever, the only options are to runaway or bypass them" (Silas)

"The best would be to bypass them but the risk is too high then get worst if you are with others. Plus we have Karl's ability that will make sure a run in with the bellua." (Zuri)

"Add in that we don't know how many. Followers like to do things on there own to prove themsevles. While schemers will form a group of Followers then take full credit" (Silas)

"Wait, we don't ever know that a Demon Lord is involve yet. It could be just a abnormal and if more then one it made a pack" (Zuri)

"I'll go with mine and you with yours to cover bothsides" (Silas)

"Fine" (Zuri)

We were staring at each at one of our headbutting. No, I didn't want to except that reality. So I choose to believe it was abnormal that got out of some dungeon. Then he add in the word 'schemers' and how they where different. Silas know this and told it like a memory. Karl stop us by ask of our family. Karl had none but still worry about ours.

"Guys, what about your family" (Karl)

"Mom will be fine plus she on the otherside if village" (Zuri)

"Grandpa is an Adventurer so he'll be call in to help non fighters, Grandma and other are to stubborn to leave inn. Wait the inn is near were the crack started" (Silas)

Karl was the one to push Silas to check on them. Silas' family inn was the closes to the school so I agree. It happen like how Silas say how it was going to happen. We separate from the group as they turn a corner. We were running down a street with one more mile from the inn.

As we were running there was dead bodies here and there. Silas told Karl to not stop or slow down. I think it was cruel to say it like that but he is right. The building to our right blow out. And standing there was Hero Satoshi, Silas' father but wasn't he dead.

"Hero?.....Zombie now" (Silas)

"Wait Silas, what?how?" (Zuri)

"After the castle of sorrow collapse on top of him. Looks like it was a rock that done him in." (Silas)

"But the books say it was the Demon Lord's sword rotting power that kill him" (Zuri)

"The Demon Lord sword 'Putrescent' have a self-rotting curse decay only those living." (Silas)

Karl and I were still in shock but Silas was one of nostalgic. It didn't change when a knight made of bone walk out. Silas then look back at us. Karl was the first to speak up.

"Sorry guys my ability being them here" (Karl)

"No they're here to kill me" (Silas)

"Why would they come to earth just for you" (Zuri)

"Zuri, he's that hero's child" (Karl)

"You two run, please I don't want you to die" (Silas)

Silas apologize & told us to run did he think that will work. But the Knight's look shook us to our core. Silas knew the reality, but still have a look as he looking at a moron.

"Oh, don't run kids everyone will die today. So I become the next Demon Lord. I will keep you friends together as my next weapon." (Bone Knight)

"What how can a weapon keep us together. If the three of us going to die." (Zuri)

"Bonehead here is making a Bellua's weapon series. They only use bones, meat, and organs while sapiens only use fur, shells, and teeth. Bellua to declare their desire to become a Demon Lord. It's planning to use ours to make a weapon like that staff in it's hand was made from the former Demon Lord's skull and parts of the dead hero." (Silas)

What is this two are talking about? I can't keep up all that register was this thing was going to rip us apart to make a weapon. Why is Silas push thing by stalking this thing?

"Boy are you making fun of me." (Bone Knight)

"Un, Bonehead is much better then calling you Chew Toy." (Silas)

"SILAS what are you doing provoking that thing." (Zuri)

"Wh-Ho-*cough**cough* I will allow it." (Bone Knight)

"Eh how that happen." (Zuri)

"Guys, I found some hope I just need to touch that staff." (Silas)

"What will that do?" (Zuri)

"The staff have the power to control the Undead right." (Silas)

"I get it, both of them are Undead." (Karl)

"So how do we get that staff away from it." (Zuri)

"Come closer so it doesn't hear use. It may not have a brain but it can still think." (Silas)

"Better then nothing" (Zuri) "Agree" (Karl)

"What are you kids talking about there a change in your eyes" (Bone Knight)

Silas say there was a way to win. Last time I disagree with him this happen so go with it. It happen too fast, he run pass them.

"You think I'm a idiot. Hero kill the others."

The Zombie run at us, I kick Karl into the building they came out of so she could get help. As the Nimble Zombie charge at me. I aim a kick down hitting its knee. The Nimble Zombie was down on its back. I pull the sword around its waist. I won my first fight with a bellua.

"Sorry Hero Satoshi for the disrespect your body was shown."

Zuri beheaded the zombie ending the battle. I started to glow then it dim. Then a voice was heard.

I'm a hero why? I told this Silas while having the human victory sign. Silas yell at then say there was a third one.

"Silas it's mine" (Zuri)

"Idoit, don't let your guard down there is a third one" (Silas)

"So you are......the new Hero of Elves.....How lucky for you....." (Haunted Pixy)

Wait, then a new colder voice was heard. I turn as fast I could but darkness.
