'' Ha... Ha... Ha... '''.

There was a voice from the child running with fear. He along with his two comrades ran off without any direction looking for a hiding place.

At night all was invisible, not to mention the darkening of the hallway made the place even darker. Whether the light from the moon or the light produced by someone is not there.

They only rely on instinct alone, to save themselves from the pursuit of someone behind him.

'' How.... how do we... save ourselves from their pursuit... ? ''.

His voice was slightly weak and slightly broken due to being out of breath. They paused for a while to rest, had been running for a very long time without thinking about the pain in their legs.

Although unable to see around, but they are aware of the presence of colleagues. Just hoping to find a way out of the darkness now, that's what they're thinking.

'' There was no other way but to run towards the end of the passageway, but if only I could use magic for sure... ''.

A colleague replied to the words from the weak voice earlier. With a sense of disappointment spoken, he sat down and leaned against the wall of the hallway.

'' It's okay... ! ''.

A weak voice tried to encourage his comrade and slowly approached him. He did not mean to ask about his comrade's shortcomings, but just tried asking about a state of affairs now.

'' ... I'm sure we'll all be safe and come out together from this hallway... Right ? ''

The weak voice stood in front of his despairing companion. She gave a warm smile to him and placed her hand on his partner's shoulder.

As a weak voice spoke to him, it felt like an impulse in his heart that was trying to stay excited. A little smile from his partner. To make him imagine as if he saw the beautiful face of his partner smiling at him.

'' That's right... Let's get out of here... ! ''.

He tried to stay strong in front of his partner. His body was experiencing a bit of pain from the previous impact. Capitalizing on the spirit given by his partner, he rose from the feeling of disappointment towards him.

'' Worry... !!! They're after us... ''.

His companion's voice in the back was quite frantic, he was warning the other fellow in front.

'' That's them... Pursue...!!! ''.

The voice of a leader of the chase squad who commanded his subordinates. He was very confident that they would be caught and return to where they were before.

The break is over. They tried to run as hard as they could, avoiding the pursuit of those who were chasing.

Until arriving, where they found the end of his hallway. Feelings of joy and passion began to be etched in their hearts.

That's what's supposed to happen...

But it turns out there is the last place for his two colleagues who are trying to create a dream for someone in an experimental object.

The freedom.

Lluvia as a place or border town. The city is housed on top of a grain mine of magic equipment weapon-making materials, and at the deepest there is a magical stone that can store Mana.

The entrance section was on the valley wall that limited the two regions. The bridge awakens over its valleys for crossing, as well as the bridge to the entrance of the mine.

The city is quite advanced because it can be an access road to trade between the two kingdoms, with views on the bridge that show unique lights decorate the entrance of the mine.

Not only the scenery that attracts public attention, but in this city inhabited by various races without any dispute to look at their respective races.

The average population comes from various regions that migrate or just want to live business.

The city was built since 30 years ago has developed very quickly because the layout is on the border. The leader is not from the human race, but non-human is from the Dwarf Race.

Although he was only a dwarf, but he was very strong in the field of earth magic and body strengthening. He is recognized for his ancestors being an important actor in the manufacture of magic equipment.

2,000 years ago, they made magic tools to fight the invasion of the true dragons. Assisted by the earth dragon who became the strongest provider of materials and magic, so that the manufacturing process runs smoothly.

Although the city is very crowded and beautiful, but on the dark side there are negative things that involve many children for a research object.

They built their research in one of the mines that was quite far from the settlement. It has been 5 years since the research began, as the object of the test is the child who was kidnapped by them.

It is estimated that there have been 750 samples of children in the tube, containing green liquid and their hose to the main tube is very large.

It is not known what the creature inside the large tube was because it was covered in a greener liquid than before. Just make sure that they refer to it as a nameless object.

'' How about No. 377. Is there any development with his magic particles ? ''.

A scientist asked his colleague who was working on something in protective magic.

He had some doubts when observing the object of his research. A middle-aged man trapped with illegal witchcraft research.

Previously he was at the research place about magic books. But he thought he wanted to research first about the existence of magic in one's body.

From an acquaintance of his, he got word that in the city of Lluvia was practicing something related to magic in the human body.

And until that day, he was there in the object of illegal research. Although a little disappointed with what he did wrong, but he wanted to see the development.

Subject No. 377. When he observed it somehow the subject came to his senses and looked at himself and closed his eyes again.

Thinking there was a problem in the process, until he questioned his partner.

'' There is no problem with the subject. Now what must be considered is the process of assimilation... ! ''

'' Well okay... I will watch that step ''

Until there was a problem there. About the attack of mana-eating worms are revolting and destroying many places.

Few subjects fail and the blood vessels explode due to the excess amount of Mana entering their bodies.

The man did not have time to evacuate, he was still there trying to secure his job as quickly as possible so that the subjects did not fail.

But an oddity occurs when he is too focused on his work. As a result of the clash of the fight between the witch and the worm, the wall in the sky experienced a little problem and finally fell on the tube connecting hose.

Some processes in the tube stopped because of a stone. The Subject No. 377. Awakened because the hose was cut off from the tube.

He was a man who tried to break the tube with both hands. After succeeding, he saw that some of the tubes had also experienced the same thing as him and destroyed the tubes.

One was a blonde male and the other was a female of the elf race. They realized to see the incident, until they decided to escape out of the place of the object of research.

When they were saving themselves, he was a middle-aged man who had seen everything happen and helped them get out of this mine.

But he couldn't help them any further because he still wanted to continue his research. He just told me where the right direction was heading out of the mine.

No matter how little they help, it will be a hope for them. It made the feeling of the man who helped her smile to see that they could survive out of this place.

And when they reached the end of the hallway, that hope was almost lost when his two friends tried to save the life of a man he trusted so much.

By the time they had come out of the mine, some scientists and witches had been on standby to surround the three of them.

Equipped by knowledge and Mana in their bodies. Until trying to rebel against the witches, but only he who could not use magic at all fell silent without doing anything.

'' Run from there... We will hold them... !!! ''.

The cry of a woman with confidence in the boy will bring her dreams.

Heard her to leave immediately. He ran through the valley further away from where they were. Guilt and regret had now been thought of as he left them there.

He had already walked too far and entered the forest. Thinking there would be no pursuit, he could finally rest himself.

Not long after resting, there was something suspicious nearby. Sure enough, they had surrounded him and had a little chat with him.

'' I want to see when else you will escape... Subject No. 377. ? ''

Someone behind the trees came out carrying a large plastic bag. He walked closer to the boy.

Very surprised and prepared to attack with a pointed bamboo in his hand. He looked at the surroundings to search for the escape crack from them.

'' Do you know if you run away from there, then you'll end up being like them... ''

The man threw the plastic at him. And what was there was a piece of the body of his friend, the head. He vomited and screamed in fear.

While the man laughed seeing the boy in front of him shouting in front of the bodies of his two friends. The man who had the title as the leader of the chase force only wanted to know what kind of thing happened when the sense of despair while escaping from his pursuit.

The boy who had been screaming and screaming continuously, finally remained silent for a moment. Not long after, a glimmer of light shot out from his body that followed a book that appeared out of nowhere in front of him.

It was as if the book was teleported to its owner suddenly due to the presence of a slight source of mana created within its body.

That way everyone there has witnessed rare events that are very rare in the many witches in this world.

Essentially a book of magic must be searched within a library and witches who want to use its power must rely on the book.

In the library, they would be chosen as witches when they already had books. They say from time to time that,

'' Searching for books must be in the library, if you want to be quickly recognized by books and become a witch '' .

Actually, their theory is correct. When someone wants to find a book, then the right choice is a library because there are many books there.

But this was no ordinary book, but a Grimoire. A magic book that has a dice symbol on its cover and in it there is a magical power that can guide a person to become a Witch.

The book had its own consciousness looking for its original owner. When the owner is aware of its power, the Grimoire will automatically move as close as possible to its predestined owner.

But the current events are very rare, it is because a person has not realized the potential of himself as a witch. In this world, every being would have Mana in his body and would become a magician when his power was already awakened.

Those who were suddenly awakened would have considerable power and Mana resources flowing down his veins. Not to mention him, the boy had already experienced the process of assimilating magic from an unknown creature apparently.

An incident triggered him mentally when he saw his two friends killed, so that his magic power radiated violently and made a natural phenomenon that made the sky blacken.

After a while, when the sky was already unable to withstand its strength. Then came a heavy rain accompanied by lightning that struck around the boy.

'' Earth Magic - Protective Ball ''

The man in charge of the chase squad could only fall silent while protecting himself with magic from the ground he had created himself for fear of being hit by a lightning strike.

With a strike force large enough, so that the protector broke and hit the man and his men.

They died instantly, with no survivors of their destiny. As if a towering tree were burning with a powerful bolt of lightning.

And not long after. The rain and its glint died down, just as the boy had disappeared carrying the bodies of his two friends.

They scientists can only find the remaining traces of Mana left at the main point of its occurrence and send some personnel to search for the existence of subject No. 377 outside the forest.

While the middle-aged man saved them. I can only hope that he,

The boy could spread his wings in the air and search for his own dream without suffering the same as before.
