Chapter 1 The Philosopher's Stone
On the slopes of Mount Slamet, there are still many trees that are quite very dense. pine trees that rise high like a tower tower.
The sound of birds chirping is so jarring in the morning.
When morning comes a lot of dark fog that covers the mountain area is clean air clean water if you judge it might be very awesome right?
In the village of Sangkanayu precisely in Purbalingga district, there are women around 15 to 16 years old who are scavenging rivers to dredge sand and collect.
When the sand is already full about how many sacks will be collected on the banks of the river. to find sand in the river must be in the rainy season because when the river water is flooded then that is where the sand will fall so that many people around also look for sand collected to become sustenance.
Among the dozens of humans who are scavenging for sustenance by dredging sand there is one woman dressed in black but there are clothes that are perplexed because it is not worth wearing.
the woman had black hair tied back and the hair was very straight like a waterfall of deep black malachonist eyes The face was a little pretty but a little well-groomed She was dredging the sand with vigor.
Her name is Nina Dragundala.
"Snakes.."
"Smurray..''
"Snakes.."
Nina was scratching the sand using a tool like a concave slap down to make it easier to pick up the sand.
Because of his passion for scavenging sand he entered the water a little deep. not only that sometimes he was a little careless and not careful he used his hand to scratch the sand so that in the sand pile there was a glass fragment that hit his hand.
Even so he still did not feel the pain just think it was a pain just bitten by an ant.
But somehow when he finished taking the sand in the pool of water a little deep suddenly his eyes were fixed on the cliff that there was a little cave he saw a red stone that was slightly lit.
“What...” Nina was stunned she wanted to know, even she was like being bewitched by that red stone.
Because he seemed to be bewitched by the red-colored stone finally instantly rushed to pick up a stone as big as a red marble seed.
It only took him how many minutes to arrive at the cliff that had its cave to pick up the red stone.
That right hand that was hit by the glass shard dripped blood a little profusely and directly grabbed the stone without lingering.
What Nina did not realize was that the blood dripping from her hands seeped into the red stone. so that the types of red stones that glow like red fluorescent lights immediately shot into his brain.
"Oh..!"
Nina snared in pain so she fell unconscious.
The sound of screams was finally heard to everyone who was scavenging for sand in the river.
“Hey..your granddaughter she why she suddenly screamed.” One of the women in her 30s said to the grandmother who was next to her.
The grandmother immediately rushed to walk very quickly to approach Nina. when she saw her suddenly Nina was unconscious being stretched limp over the river stone.
“Nak.. what happened to you.” The grandmother screamed trying to wake her up. However, the result is the same as nil.
then he groaned all of his body to look for something suspicious it only took him how many seconds he found Nina's right palm bleeding.
The grandmother was named Maryati she was one of the people who took care of Nina from small to big Even she felt very sorry for Nina.
He gave up school just to get to junior high school to help himself pick up sand in the river.
Maryati after carrying about 6 meters she passed through the crowd of people who were looking for sand she shouted: “Maybe today I will take a short vacation because my grandson suddenly unconscious.”
“Oke.. well may your grandson be well.” The crowd who were scavenging for sand shouted worried that even everyone who was there felt sorry for Nina.
Nina is a devoted child to parents but unfortunately the service did not see her because she was 2 years old was left forever by both parents.
How many minutes later Maryati finally arrived at her home.the house still uses bamboo webbing on the edge and still uses a joglo style house.
Maryati opens the door.
"Strade...!"
The sound of the wooden door opened by Maryati and the sound was very distinctive.
Then he brought Nina to go to the room.
After that he put Nina's body into a mattress that was ugly, hard, and not soft.
After having laid down, Maryati said while looking at Nina.
“Nak.. may you in the future become a successful person.. This grandmother does not have the heart to see you suffer like this.” Maryati. Then he came out of Nina's room to go to the kitchen to make a sweet tea to give Nina when she was awake.
When Nina was alone in the room, her eyes suddenly opened.
“Uhh.. did I faint?” Nina woke up from her sleep. He looked at the side finally understanding that he had fainted and was taken to bed by his grandmother.
He still felt the pain at that time, and after fainting, finally the pain in the head slightly lessened.
But when he was peeling, his eyes were fixed on the empty glass that had broken on the ground, suddenly there was a row of information.
[Split Glass Object: Goods that are quite hard, even though they have been broken in half but, if used to hit people's heads will be in pain]
“Hahh?” Nina was stupid on the spot. He rubbed his eyes in fear of illusions.
He closed his eyes for how many seconds. Then he looked towards the closet.
[Cabinet: Are you poor? A broken and worn cupboard still in use?]
Nina was still confused about the writing that appeared in her vision. Even so, he was furious when that towering tulsan seemed to be mocking him.
He shook his head continuously so that suddenly the door opened out Maryati.
“Nak.. have you woken up, you make me worry only..” Maryati rushed straight towards Nina instantly sitting while holding her right hand.
Nina was currently not reacting because there was more writing in her eyes.
[Name Maryati. The middle-aged old woman whose hobbies are always huddled. You as a good woman avoid ghibah because it is not good.]
‘Sial..what is this writing.’ Nina was really scared that she was screaming in her heart.
