In the place where Cien.

  “Huhhh… thank god that lion was leaving now!” Theo appeared haggard and looked didn’t sleep.

  the lion sleep near to Theo place of hiding through whole night. It didn’t give him peace through whole night because it was snorting while it was sleeping.

  Theo looked he was mentally unstable as he was babbling unnecessary things.

  “I really need to sleep now! I might become crazy if I still didn’t sleep” Theo said. he crawled to his bed and he saw Falcony was sleeping soundly.

  “This bastard was sleeping soundly! While I was suffering to the side”

  “Forget it, I really need to sleep now!!” he went to his bed and begin sleeping.

  After a few hours of sleeping, Theo was sleeping soundly to his bed while smiling like he was sleeping in the heaven.

  For a moment a sound came from outside that awake him, he stands up and appeared irritated because that sound was intruding his sleeping time.

  “When that lion!! There another one, this unforsaken world was very irritating to live!” Cien looked frustrated that his sleeping was halted because of that sound outside. A dark circle can be seen to his eyes.

  Theo looked outside through the hole and he saw a three person with different appearance than human.

  “Who... who are you?!” Theo was flabbergasted because it was first time to saw a person here in this world and he remember his grandpa to be cautious to the people he meets here.

  “Hello friend, we are not here to harbour any bad intention. We been watching you yesterday and you look not a bad person to us. Do you have a time to talk with us?” the middle of those three persons said. he has a long and sharp ears and a beautiful face even though he was a man. Also, he has long silver hair, blue eyes, and tall height. The two persons appearance was also the same as the person in the middle but only difference was the facial face.

  ‘Elves?!’ it was the first thought of Theo when he saw the appearance of these three people.

  “Watching me?! Who are you guys?!!” Theo still was alerted and cautious.

  “Oh, forgive me. I forgotten to tell my name and just directly said my intention. I’m very sorry if you felt uncomfortable what I did, we just like for being direct”

  “My name is Luis Octend. To my right, her name was Amelia Octend and to my left his name was Truwen Octend. They are my sister and brother”

  The two elves nodded when they introduced.

  “May I know your name also?”

  “Theo… My name is Theo”

  After a few moments of silence Theo asked something.

  “Then why are you guys here?! To my memories we never encounter each other so why are you watching me and judging me if I was a good or bad person?!” Theo asked many questions because this is weird to him and his grandpa told him to be cautious.

  “You don’t have to worry, we only come here to recruit you if you want to work with us taking the ambition fruit on that huge tree in the middle of that forest” he pointed the forest that had a lot of huge trees in the surrounding but there is one tree that stand out which much bigger than all of this trees. It was in the middle of this forest.

  “We will not force you. We just want to know if you wanted to work along with us?”

  “We wait for you to think about your answer”

  “i… I will think about it”

  “Then, we will distance ourselves and wait 30 minutes for you to think about our invitation and comeback here. See you later and thank you for taking our time”

  “Hmm. Okay.”

  The three elves begin leaving after they said their intention to Cien.

  “Are we sure that recruiting that human is good idea? He looks a timid person to me” Amelia Octend said to Luis Octend. He was baffle what Luis saw to that human that he was willing to let his pride down to recruit him.

  “Just because he sounds timid, it doesn’t mean he was literally a timid person. To what I see he was like a hidden gem. Do you also think so Truwen?” Luis said.

  “I agree to Luis said, that person looked has been trained for years and when we watching him, he looked he somewhat had enough information to this small word” Truwen said.

  “See, even Truwen agreed to my idea. The more people we have to go in that forest, the higher chance we can take the ambition fruit. It’s not bad idea cutting our benefit if it takes to a greater benefit” Luis said.

  “But he was still a human and he was stranger to us, I will feel ease if it was our kin. Being cautious to this world is more important” Amelia said worriedly.

  The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

  “I knew that being cautious is important but we should not judge a person by appearance but their action. Just because he was different species than us it doesn’t mean we should not trust him. Do you think he was also thinking the same? Working and meeting with different people than our kin making our mind broad to this world” Luis smiled when saying it.

  Amelia quieted and stopped making argue to his older brother.

  “Anyway, this pill given to us by elder was very good” Truwen said to make the awkward atmosphere stopped. He looked to his palm and a pill can be seen. It was green color.

  “Yes, this was a very good pill to interact with different people. I never thought that a pill like this existed” Luis said. he looked to the pill Truwen palm. He also has a lot of pills in his pouch given to their elder.

  “Elder said that we can communicate different species including plants by taking this pill. But the pill effect was only staying long for 24 hours, which is temporary how pity that it was not permanent” Amelia said. she looked disappoint that it was only temporary.

  “This was good enough, being greedy to much will only make us stumble to pit” Luis said. Luis took his pouch and looking it. He appreciated this pill given to them.

  “This distance is enough. We should wait here for 30 minutes and comeback after” Luis said.

  A haggard looking kid and a dark circle on his eyes like he didn’t sleep enough. He was walking in a circle while thinking deeply and mumbling to the invitation of that elves.

  “Did I just see an elf in my own eyes?!” Theo was very shocked and surprised that today he saw a living elf. It was his first time to saw a living intelligence when he arrived to this small world and unexpectedly it was elves.

  “Working them along?! They might look trustable but I think it was better to be cautious than stabbed in the back of stranger” Theo remembered the advice his grandfather said to him that he should be cautious to the people he meets here.

  “Wait a minute, how can they speak kilan language?!” he appeared baffled that Luis can speak Kilan language.

  “They fluent too, like they’re native to Fetrias main continent”

  “But grandfather said that elves existed and they’re living in the Magisch continent, then how can they speak Kilan language? Is the Magisch continent language is also Kilan language?!” Theo was crazily thinking as he didn’t have enough sleep and cannot think properly. He was paranoid and overthinking too much.

  ‘Should I work with them or not?’ Theo thought.

  ‘But if there a scenario I was backstabbed, I cannot resist the power of three person while being alone!’

  ‘But it was also not bad working with them, since my only goal coming here to this small world is taking the ambition fruit. If I work with them my chance taking that fruit was higher but grandfather told me that I should be cautious. Wait he never said to me that I should not work with them but only be cautious to the people I meet.’

  “It’s not bad getting knew other people” Theo said.

  But Theo still felt uncomfortable working with stranger and his guts telling him that something dangerous to this group.

  Theo was thinking deeply for 30 minutes if he going to work with them or not.

  after 30 minutes passed. The three elves come back to the place where Theo.

  “Did you already decide Theo? If you want work with us or not” Luis asked.

  “I will work with you guys… but I have three conditions before I work with you”

  “Oh, please say what your three conditions. We will try to fulfil your condition in the limit to what we can”

  “First, I will have my own ambition fruit if we take anything”

  “That’s given, we promise you in our tribe’s name that we will give you an ambition fruit without being greedy and you will be given firsthand the fruit if we take any fruit”

  The two was shocked that Luis was willing to work to this human and for that he even improved the condition.

  Theo still appeared cautious and didn’t trust he said.

  He continued “second, I like working alone. So, I think I will support you to side”

  “Okay, if it that comfortable for you we will do that”

  “The last is distancing between us by the limit of 10 feet”

  “Hey you human that called Theo! Do you think we are virus or something that you need to distance between us?! You’re very demanding for a human-“ Amelia speaking angrily but Truwen stopped her from speaking to Theo in harsh way by putting his hand around her mouth.

  “I apologize for my sister behavior. She was very hot-tempered person so please understand him” Luis said apologizing. He glared to his sister, to let her knew that she needs to stop being rude.

  “Sorry about him, she was very naughty hahaha…” Truwen said and laughed awkwardly. He tightly put his hands around the mouth of Amelia.

  “No, I think she said is not wrong. i also find my demand was very weird and out of distance working with you guys, but if it was for my safety, I have no problem for it” Theo said. he stated that he will not change his demand for his safety.

  Luis heard it and looked deeply to this big rock.

  “Then we will agree to your demand, how about early tomorrow we leave together going to the forest? Are you good for it?”

  “What?!” Amelia was shocked, she cannot understand what her brother thinking and agreeing to this human demand when he was only supporting them in the side and also, he was the firsthand to take the fruit. It was very unfair to him.

  “Yes, I’m okay with it” Theo said.

  “Then we will be going now and we will back tomorrow early morning. It’s nice meeting you Theo”

  “It also nice meeting you guys and thank you for accepting my personal demand. I very appreciate it”

  Luis nodded. They begin leaving, but Amelia face looked upset that this human was taken advantage them.

  Theo saw that they already left and thought.

  ‘Why I still felt uncomfortable when I’m near with them like there something dangerous near me, but they looked very friendly and didn’t have hostility to me’

  Theo was very baffle to his guts that out of nowhere telling him that something was very dangerous and he began feeling that when that group of elves was coming near to him.

  ‘Wait a minute, why my guts always very active every time when something is going on. It’s not like this when in my past life?! Or when I was born!? nothing like this happened before and i began to feel this weird happening to me when I took that book!’ Theo felt uncomfortable that maybe something going on to his body and he didn’t know nothing was going on.

  ‘My 5 senses and perception changed when I took that book like my whole changed everything!!’

  Theo shivers down his spine. He felt chill like he was a blind person without knowing what unknown lurking to his body.

  “Kak, kak, kak, kak” he woke up when he heard Falcony shrill call in the tent.

  He set his head to the tent and realize that his mind was being chaotic and being paranoid.

  ‘I should use my time to search the reason what happening to my body than wasting my time to unnecessary thought and don’t do action’

  Theo found it that he was very sleepy and wanted to sleep to calm down his mind. Theo went in to his tent and saw Falcony was shrilling like it was very hungry.

  “This sleepy head, okay, okay I will take your food” Theo caressed the head of Falcony and took the jar in his bag. He looked to this jar with a lot of worms inside.

  He opened it and took a few worms for Falcony to eat.

  “Are you satisfied now? can I go to sleep now?” Theo asked but Falcony was still shrilling that he was still hungry.

  “huh…” Theo take care the eating of Falcony until he was satisfied.

  “Thank God, you’re done eating. This chick stomach was like a blackhole”

  Theo saw that Falcony begin sleeping again to his bed. Theo was really sleepy and begin also sleeping along with Falcony in one bed.

  They’re sleeping soundly like father and son.
