Glory Hunt's

The City

The knights came closer, stopped not far from the carriage, then rushed towards where we were and knelt in salute to the princess, Papa, before rising to his feet with his right hand ready on the handle of the sword, should something bad happen "Master Princess Luna! Thank goodness you survived. Is there a problem, Mr Anderson?"

The papa looked at me sharply, emitting a strong killing aura until the princess was angry, yupp right, angry, instead of afraid. However, thanks to her, I survived the danger and was able to breathe a sigh of relief without needing to fear losing a life. The old man stepped closer, looking gently at the princess, looking like someone completely different, saying "I'm sorry papa Luna, papa is just worried about you. Papa doesn't want to lose Luna and Luna has been missing for about 5 hours"

"Papa not to worry, Luna can take care of herself, after all there is a new knight Luna who will take care of Luna even though she has to sacrifice her life, right?" Ask me without asking my opinion first. But, I could clearly feel both of his hands trembling behind the powerful figure he was trying to show the Papa.

There's no way I'm losing to the princess, is there?

"Please forgive my sassness. I don't mean to take time and make you suspicious. It just so happened that I met the princess inside the forest while looking for the city ahead. The princess was injured and unable to walk, so I volunteered to help her, nor did I expect to meet someone as brave as the princess, exploring the forest alone without fear"

The two princess hands that were trembling, instantly stopped, shocked to hear the statement just now, but immediately took over the situation by folding their arms while showing a typical haughty smile of hers that was "Papa hear yourself right? Even the knight lord said Luna was brave. So, you don't have to worry, Luna is much better than you think" he said proudly.

The man smiled, rubbed the head of his beloved daughter, then looked back at me. This time with a softer look despite still harboring a hint of suspicion "Papa rasa, papa is already too cruel towards your new knight Luna, please forgive papa. Instead, how about you go with papa back to town? Papa is sure you are hungry and papa has also prepared a lot of sweet snacks for Luna"

"Snacks? Comeing! Let's go back now! Luna can't wait to spend it all! Come on, knight sir, we'll spend the snacks together!!" His mouth was excited as if preparing for the war.

We got into the horse-drawn carriage, drove it into the city which turned out to be much bigger than I had imagined. I didn't expect to find a big city that even deserves to be called a capital. I thought I would find a small town or a village and not be stunned by the thick, high walls that stretched far around the city.

I don't know how much, but I think the height of the wall reaches 50 meters with a thickness of 20 meters, really a sturdy and magnificent wall, a sign of a big city. The gate itself is much longer to the back than the wall, likely about 15 meters more with several rooms that seem to be a post at once a warehouse. Some of the soldiers in armour, standing straight without moving, except when they bowed in honor as our carriage passed by.

The knights who had previously come to check things out, stopped at the gate after bidding farewell to the Papa which made me wonder more and more, who exactly is this man before me? However, the scenery within the city, taking over the mind, filled it with a sense of wonder I would never have felt in the world before.

This is! This is what I mean! A city like this! The roads are made of white brick, the sky is decorated with airplanes and not just one! Except tens! In various sizes and colors. Not with the buildings that seemed to fly in the air along with some of the land where they were built. On all four sides of the ground that was shaped like an inverted pyramid, a short but wide black tube with two blue rings appears brightly lit on the inside which is likely the reason the buildings can soar high in the air.

Each building here looks the same as a building in the middle era with a little magic. For example, like the building we just passed through, had faint bluish cracks, emitting blue light powders that then disappeared in the air. At the same time, I accidentally saw some teenagers riding a flying motor? The vehicle is shaped like a copper motor with horizontal wheels instead of vertical, made of the same black iron, where a blue ring appears to light up.

Not until two seconds later, the ground began to tremble in the same rhythm, one-two one-two like a footstep. Then, not far ahead, a robot emerged from behind a building, created from steel with the addition of some of the same foreign black iron as a protection. The robot is about 10 meters tall, does not have a weapon and only runs as if on patrol.

The princess's Papa watched me turn here and there like a boy who for the first time witnessed the outside world. He smiled slightly before closing his eyes, waiting for the journey to be completed.

WHY WAS I NOT BORN HERE?!

Look at their clothes! Their architecture! Their abilities! Just a moment ago, I saw a little boy had been able to float in the air as if it was a normal thing! What about those flying motors? That's amazing, isn't it? Not to mention magic. Imagine you can control fire using just your palm or like the person there! Using the wind as a slacker as well as a booster himself surfing the water!

Damn, my heart was beating so fast that I had a hard time listening to the conversation outside. It's not that I can hear it from here, it's just that my heart is like a drummer showing their best abilities. As enthusiastic as I am, I can feel my dreams since childhood directly, live in it, participate and not only as a spectator.

Then, my gaze turned to the large building in the middle of the city that looked like a tower. The great height is black-blue with bright blue stripes decorating each side, forming rigid patterns that I could not understand the meaning of, if they had a meaning. For a long time I watched a strange building that did not seem to come from this world, much different than the building in the city until the papa made a sound.

"The Tower of Fate"

I flinched, looking at him.

"That's the name of the building you've been looking at for about 5 minutes. Much different, isn't it? Just like you, an Outlander. Different, mocking and harboring so many mysteries that we will never understand. The building has existed even since I was not born and is still the same until now, inedible by time. Even the Elf race that had the longest lifespan, could still be defeated by time. We have also tried various ways to find out why the building is here, but until now we only found fragments of information, only, the rest we can't understand because it uses language that's completely out of reach of the brains of living things"

"You do realize you can talk to us even though you're from a different world, right?" He said seeing the obvious confusion on my face "The reason is because of the Tower of Fate. We don't have to spend a lot of energy learning another language and we're guessing because that building is also you guys getting carried into this world just like us" He folded his arms, watching the building from the window, then I looked back at me, "We are not natives of this world, but of another world, a different world. At least that's what my grandfather said. In fact, none of the races in this world are natives, we all come from different worlds. Therefore we were able to reach where we are now, a mixture of magic and runes thanks to the Vikings. My father was one of them, which is why I have such a stocky body"

So it's like that huh? I really did not expect there would be a power where, able to bring another world to join the other world so as to create a completely new world. Just thinking about it made my head ache, it seemed like I understood why he said language beyond the reach of living beings. The language of something that makes all of this happen is definitely storing information where our brains won't be able to digest it. But, I'm sure there's an explanation for why this happened.

Uh!

"Do you know about Glory?"

"You mean that blue-light cube? Sure i-i'm

The carriage suddenly stopped right in front of a magnificent mansion with the same color theme as a horse carriage. Three kinds of runes were engraved on the two pillars on the left and right of the door, the runes that should (If I'm not mistaken) mean protection, harmony and civilisation.

"It seems we have arrived. Welcome to Alfcity City"
