An empty world.
A world filled with nothingness.
A dinsion that could only be described as a prison.
A world that despite have nothing inside it. It could be changed into anything at the sa ti. Anyone might think that it’s a world that is filled with everything at first glance, while only the two people inside the dinsion truly know how empty the world they are trapped in is.
“Fascinating…” A voice that is filled with imnse power and malice, a voice that could make a normal person die because of fear. The voice sounded like it just found sothing amusing to him.
“…..” Despite hearing and standing in front of the man that possessed such power, the man that amused the owner of the terrifying voice remains silent and indifferently ignored him. He didn’t even flinch when he heard the terrifying voice.
“We’ve battled inside this sealed world countless tis, but yet, never even once have you defeated . Well, you’ve managed to get closer to victory in every battle and you did succeed on surprising and almost grasp a victory in several occurrences, though,” The terrifying voice continued.
“…..” The man continued on his silence.
“You are the only man that has enough courage to ignore , the demon emperor, to this extent. Even from all of the heroes I’ve encountered, you possess the best spirit, ability, power, and personality that far superior to them-“
“I’m not a hero,” Answered the man shortly, cutting the demon emperor’s sentence.
“For you, yes. But not for everyone else, not for the people near you, not for the world,” The demon emperor said with a confident tone, not even irritated to the slightest by the man’s act of cutting his words.
“They’re free to see with whatever perspective they have, I’m , and I’m the only one who has the right to determine who am I. Not even you, demon,” The man said coldly.
“Indeed! HAHAHAHAHAHA! Even if we’re trapped inside this seal for another 100 years, I think I won’t ever be bored as long as you’re here, Ren Arken!” Said the demon emperor as he domineeringly laughed.
“Say whatever you want, you’re free to stay inside this seal for as long as you want. But I’m leaving,” Said Oz as he readies his sword once more.
“Is that so? But you never even defeated here, not even once. You’ll need to defeat if you want to leave this place,” Mocks the demon emperor.
“It’s just a matter of ti,” Oz answered indifferently.
“Hm~ You said that you’re the only one who will determine who you are, then who are you, Ren?” The demon emperor asked as his eyes sharpen when he looked at the mysterious man in front of him that despite always losing to him, he’ll feel shivers down to his spine every ti he stared at the man’s eyes.
After a long ti, the demon emperor finally able to catch a smile from the man’s face. With a confident smile and tone that not inferior to the demon emperor’s, Ren answered his question, “I am just a magician,”

“How’s the eting unfold, my lord?” Aquila asked Sli that had just returned from eting the Potterland kingdom’s ambassador.
“The most obvious outco, of course,” Sli answered indifferently.
“Then I believe you’ve managed to achieve all of our aims in that eting, sire. I’m thinking about praising and thanking you for your great work, but it seems that I’ve lost my interest to do so because of your expression,” Said Aquila, comnting his superior that currently has a smug grin on his face.
“Y-you… As your superior, I have the authority to fire you from here, you know?” Said Sli with a wry smile.
“Ah. I’m sorry, sire. I’m just thinking about it, but it seems that my thoughts unexpectedly ca out from my mouth. I can’t help it, I’m an honest and straightforward person, after all. Please forgive if I’ve offended you in any way, Sire,” Said Aquila as he slightly bows his head towards Sli.
“…..You’ve offended in ‘every way’ possible, Aquila. But it is true that I’ve really done a great job, because of , our empire had got another country that admitted our existence. They tried to squeeze so information from , but sadly they didn’t realize that it had been the other way round since the beginning,” (Sli)
“It’s the normal outco since the one they’re facing is you, my lord. But please don’t get conceited because of this, my lord,” (Aquila)
“You… But well, I’m thinking that I’ll let you off for today as I’m a benevolent boss, so I’m going to the inn to rest for the day,” Said Sli as if fleeing from his troubleso underling.
“Inn, my lord? Well, it’s indeed is late, already. Have a nice rest, my lord, I’ll catch up soon after finishing the reports,” (Aquila)
After bidding farewell to his underling, Sli went to the inn where every Tarot staff had reserved for their stay. Since everyone from Tarot has a very similar appearance with that of humans, no one is discriminating against them openly as they’re also known as the heavenly knights that possess trendous strength and are their savior at the sa ti.
The inn is not far from the legation. After walking for a while, Sli arrived in front of a huge inn that if he’s on the earth, it will be called a ‘hotel’ instead.
“Hm… This inn looks rather fancy… The legation is quite comfortable to sleep at, but since yesterday Aquila caught sleeping there already, I don’t have any other choices now, do I?” Sli muttered to himself. After letting out a heavy sigh, Sli entered the inn and quite surprised how high-class the inn is.
“Welco, sire,” A woman standing behind the counter next to the stairs welcod Sli. Inns usually have their restaurant and lodging counter at the sa place. But this inn separates the counter of both of it, it ans that both of the business had considerably many custors while having it give a premium vibe for the custor.
“Um. Excuse , I’m Sli Tarot from the Tarot empire legation-” (Sli)
“Ah! So you’re Mr. Sli. I’m the owner of this inn, Hina Terrance. Nice to et you,” Said the woman behind the counter as she reaches out her hand towards Sli asking for a handshake.
At a split second, Sli evaluates the woman in front of him. The woman is slightly shorter than him, her short curly dark purple hair made her gives off a mature vibe. She’s showing so of her skin because of her thin clothes, but despite that, she could still look elegant even with her using those clothes.
(Her mana amount and cultivation is not bad, but those eyes…) (Sli)
“Yes I am, nice to et you,” Sli accepts her handshake with a smile.
“It seems that you’re tired, sire. This is the key to your reserved room. Your room is on the highest floor, the tenth floor of the inn. It’s at the corner, the right side of the inn. It’s the best room we have here,” Whispers Hina as she winks towards Sli.
(Interesting… But sha, Resting and sleeping interests more) (Sli)
“I appreciate that. Thanks,” Sli ended the conversation shortly, took his room’s key, and went upstairs.
Following Hina’s instructions, Sli arrived in front of a room with a big ’01’ number imprinted at the door. Looking at his room’s key, Sli saw that the sa number is imprinted on the key.
Sli opened the locked door and entered his room.
“Well, this is unexpected,” Sli muttered as he saw the room.
Not only fancy, but it’s also luxurious enough that Sli thought that this might be the room that used to host royalties or high-ranked nobles from other countries.
It could also be described as a one-floor house. But setting aside the size, all of the furniture is well placed and the room is decorated to be comfortable. It had a huge living room, a kitchen, two rooms, and one big bath.
Before doing anything else, Sli throw out his clothes and decided to take a bath first. The bath is installed with a magic heater, a magic tool that is used to heat the bath. Sli is slightly surprised for Grandaria to possess the magic item, but the face of the inn’s owner appeared once more inside his head.
(Maybe it’s not Grandaria who possess this… It’s just this inn’s owner is smart and crafty enough to benefit from her connections…) (Sli)
Sli thought about other things that just got in his mind, but imdiately set all of them aside.
“An empty and peaceful mind is necessary in order to enjoy a hot bath…” (Sli)
(All of the other things are for the after the bath to think of…)
