Two days have passed. After the abyssal Lords incident.
Ryuta and the others remain unharmed.
In a large wooden log house, filled with two beds, white curtains and candles.
In the living room.
They all sat on a brown couch, near them was a wooden table, above it, was a rose planted in a red vase.
"How did we really escape abyssal Lords, they're strong, they're the final boss of the dungeon, like how?" Cain asked.
"I beat them, I decapita–," Ryuta replied, but his words were interrupted.
"You beat them? I mean, i agree that you're really strong, but... it's nearly impossible to beat them," Cain said.
"We should believe him, his our leader after all, he can do it," Merlin murmured.
'it's impossible, yet he managed to do it, maybe he could help me with my problem' Eliana thought to herself.
Jay stood up his hands at his chin, feels like solving a mystery and he said "it doesn't really matter anyway on how we escaped, we're still alive and that's the best and matter the most, so... Cain, let me ask you, what is happening to you?" Jay questioned.
"I feel frustrated, I feel weak, I mean I got this cool sword and stuff and I never got to use it, I mean I still have it, I just feel useless that I can't do anything on the group," Cain grumbled.
"But you were never weak, you're the strongest here, you managed to hold off the monster, on the first time we have met, you're cool dude," Skyler replied.
"Thanks," Cain answered.
"You got us," all murmured as they smiled gently. A smile that feels like home.
"Why don't you and Ryuta send off on an adventure, to cool off, how about that?" Skyler questioned.
"Well sure," Cain answered his smile came back slowly.
Five minutes later.
Cain sported a sleek black tunic, snugly tucked into his pants, with a frayed crimson longcoat draped over his shoulders, marked by silver sigils from past battles. His black trousers featured leather knee straps for mobility. On his feet, deep red steel-toed boots clicked softly, a reminder of their wear.
Ryuta wore a crisp white linen shirt with an open collar and rolled sleeves, subtly glowing under his charcoal black overcoat, which had a high collar and silver trim that fluttered like wings. His slim black trousers boasted faint arcane patterns, nearly invisible unless the light hit them just right and His polished black boots.
They started their journey of undiscovered parts of Fanger country.
They traveled for many hours, discovered new things in Fanger country like farm village, merchant village, and more.
They stay in a Contesus Village, a village of elf, dwarfs and humans, a village where they coexist for peace and happiness.
And for their stay, they bought an inn with separate beds, and they rested for a long, and well deserved sleep.
7:00 am, Monday.
In common day of Contesus Village
Wood Elves are early birds, they wake up for a meditating session every day, meditating increases there mana, their talent in healing and it can also protect their inner minds, reminding them to be a peaceful elves.
Dwarfs in Contesus Village are also early birds, they woke up to craft, and build.
They craft swords, bows, armors and many more.
In the other hand, humans are somewhat in balance, they could be early birds or late birds and lazy birds.
But even though they have responsibility that they do in common day.
Other humans are positioned on guarding the Contesus Village, others are potion makers, tour guide, chef, cleaners of the Village, book recommenders, game host, food supplier, food seller.
They all live in peace.
Not because they are force but they chose it, they chose it to be different than others.
The corrupt humans who destroy the wood Elves spark a war between them in the other hand the dwarfs was abuse for the sake of supplying things to use in battle.
The three of the races was pushed to the limit to left the corrupt humans and be different and live peacefully.
One day a group of humans who support peaceful living, they seek the wood elves and dwarfs who were part of corrupt humans and they questioned them if they wanted to have a peaceful life along with them, hesitant at first, in the end they all agreed, for the sake of their life.

"I'm craving food, let's check the food Market,".Cain asked.
"Sure," Ryuta agreed.
They walk to the food market, crowded with humans, elves and dwarfs chattering and bantering while buying foods.
Cain and Ryuta arrived at fruit market, Cain questioned "how much is an apple and orange?"
"15ç for apple, 10ç for orange, how many would you buy young man? " The seller questioned.
"I would like two apples and two oranges please," Cain murmured.

Ryuta and Cain left the Contesus Village, for their new exploration on Fanger Country, they walk for many hours and they found themselves near the dark forest of Contesus Village.
"This forest is kinda dark, let's explore maybe we can find something," Cain murmured.
"Well it is an exploration, might as well try it," Ryuta replied.
The dark forest had towering trees, that black out the sun, every pathway was dangerous that could lead them to death, yet their bravery makes them formidable to any situation.
In the near left side of dark forest, they found a wood cottage that felt abandoned for many years, they walked up and open the door.
Cough "this cottage is so old...what happened here?" Cain muttered.
"The real question is, where is the owner?" Ryuta said.
Cain felt a sudden chill behind his back, Ryuta on the other hand felt an ominous feeling behind him, both of them looked behind, they saw the appearance of pale man, taller than the cottage itself, wearing a black tunic shirt, brown torn pants and his long broken toenails. The pale man's slow breathing gave them chills, they could move at any second, they can strike at any minute yet they can't, the both of them are struck by fear.
Slowly, they walked backwards, attempting to escape the cottage through the window, suddenly Cain stepped on a broken twig, making a noise. The pale man shouted, it's voice can be heard all over the Fanger Country, Ryuta and Cain in panic escape through the cottage window, and the tall pale man open his mouth wide that even the cottage itself can be eaten.
The pale man's neck began to stretch, long, thin and unnatural. It bend downward, slow and silent, until his face hovered just above the ground, near Ryuta and Cain's feet.
His eyes locked onto theirs.
He slowly walk towards them.
Step by step.
Ryuta and Cain slowly walk backwards.
Step by step.
And
The pale man's mouth close shut and smiles creepily.
