Reborn As A Haier-Elvian: The Blood Hunter And The Warlock (Replace To New Account)

Chapter 11 "The Indemnius Spirit Crystal"

It's my third day after being driven from the hunter's base. Since then, I haven't met any of the 'Night Diving' members. Same with Dimas. I don't know what that guy's been doing all this time. This town is not very big. We should have been able to easily meet or cross paths, let alone the location of the Bibi Saantya clinic building not far from the headquarters. Maybe he had forgotten if a friend of his had been driven away.

In fact, when I was bored like this I really wanted someone to accompany me. I can't bother Sister Shella or any of my other friends. They work during the day like this. Only the hunters are usually free when the sun is still hot. Of course I can't just visit them. That bastard Old Man must have kicked me out.

I moaned long. Staring out the window from my room which was on the third floor in the large building behind the clinic. There's not much to see from here. Just a bunch of close-knit buildings and people passing by down there. Actually I want to shop for something to please. But it was void after looking into the contents of my skin pouch. One piece of silver and one piece of bronze worth twenty. I'm really being hit by a 'Cancer'.

Being a hunter is fun because it always gets a challenge. But that's not balanced with his income. Most of the game's animal sales are usually put into cash groups—or even eaten by Grussel himself. The rest is divided equally among all members, whether they participate in the hunt or not.

Actually I could've been looking for another job and improved my life. There are a lot of job offers from my friends. The Twins Vani and Vian. The two brothers offered me a waitress at the restaurant they worked at, for four pieces of silver each month. It can make me buy whatever I want. Not only that, there was also an offer to become an officer in the Glafelden City Transportation Bureau. But I can't take it.

There are two main reasons that prevent me from leaving my current job. One of them is because of my race now, Haier-Elvian. If I move jobs, it's only a matter of time until my new co-worker knows my true identity. Maybe they won't accept me like a member of 'Diving Night'. They're going to take me differently and discriminate against me. That was a strong reason not to further engage with the people of the city. The second reason is, by being a hunter, I can go anywhere I want. Perhaps with that, I could find an answer to the phenomenon I was experiencing. And find a way to get back.

Although the opportunity was very slim, I ....

"Come on, you're up!?"

Suddenly a surprising voice came from behind. When I turned to the door, I found Sister Shella there. Both hands held a basket containing clothes that had been washed clean and neatly ironed.

"Eh, Sister Shella! Yes, it is."

"Have you washed your face?"

I'm nodding.

"But your face is still tangled" he exclaimed, glaring at me.

"S-It seems because I'm thinking too much about things."

"Think what?"

I shook my head slowly. "It's not important. Forgetit! By the way, you're not on guard at the clinic?"

"My work permit starts at noon. I use the morning to wash my clothes. If you need extra clothes, just say so. I'll make it for you."

"No need, really! I don't want to bother you anymore."

Sister Shella was silent for a moment, then smiled faintly. "Fig .. You think little things like this bother me? Compared to you who's done so much for me and my friends? Comeon! You don't have to feel awkward. Just ask me if you need anything."

I let out a breath. Come to think of it, it feels bad to continue to refuse the help of others. After all, Sister Shella seems to be forcing me to rely on her in the midst of this kind of hardship.

"All right then. I'm going to the city library, brother! Can you lend me a nice shirt? Ah, but don't be too flashy like yesterday!"

"Ready!" he was jolly happy.

Half an hour later, I was already out with the new clothes that Sister Shella had prepared. Plain white blouses as well as trousers made of fabric fibers. Complete with a leather jacket that is the current trend for teenagers in this city. Don't forget the knit hat to cover my ears. Although the fashion of clothing in this world is like medieval, but not too bad. At least the fashion of clothing here always develops slowly but surely in a better direction.

My shoe steps instantly blend in with someone else's when they enter the streets of the city. People were passing by on the sidewalk I was walking on. Not as much as during rush hour. Most of them are already at school or work.

It didn't take long for me to get to the city library. The rows of books immediately greeted as they passed through the giant twin door leaf made of teak tree. Bookshelves filled every corner of this large and magnificent room. Whether what the previous library manager thought, each shelf is arranged in such a way as to form a labyrinth. Fortunately, the shelf is only as high as an adult's shoulder. Because if only this shelf was three meters high, surely many people would get lost here.

I approached the reception desk located right in front of the giant door. This table is very long, there are several receptionists who are behind it. Serving visitors who want to borrow a book or just ask about the catalog. I picked a receptionist who happened to have her queue empty.

"Hey, Anggi! Tumben you're here. Where have you been lately? You used to come here almost every day" said the receptionist.

"I've been busy lately. Maybe a few days later I'll play here a lot because I'm free." I'm laughing a little.

"Just kid! I'm just on vacation, you know! Leave," I explained in a slightly loud voice. The girl just laughed at my response.

"Do you want to borrow a book today?"

"I want to read it first. If anything's interesting, I'll borrow it."

"Do you need help cataloging?"

I'm shaking. "I've already memorized. Worry not! I'm just here to greet you."

I waved my hand at her as I left the reception desk. He replied with a wave and a smile as well. When I first came to this world, my first choice for information was this place. So often visit this library, I know all the employees here. They are all fun people when spoken to. Of course while trying not to get too close to them. Because of worry if anyone knows about me actually.

I climbed the stairs to get to the second floor which is located quite high from the ground floor. The lower floor contains a collection of fiction books, magazines, and foreign language lessons. When I first started, I was surprised to find out that in this world there are also novels and comics like in my home world. With almost the same quality, I quite enjoyed some book titles. While on the second floor I went to contain non-fiction books, science, biography, and history. This is the place I visit often.

I used to love reading in this place. Because from this I can know about this world completely. If it were not for this library, I would not have known about the lands beyond this kingdom, races other than humans and elvians, monsters and strange plants, he said, also the history of the past is so amazing.

There is only one less than this place. They didn't have many books on elvians, only a few could be counted on fingers. That's just a mention, too. Though I wish there was a book that reviewed more about elvian. Both the introduction of the types, the learning to master them, and their history. I understand the hell. It's a library in a human land that doesn't have the ability to control elvians. There was no way they could write something that they could not do.

I'm curious about the Western Elvian Kingdom. Maybe in the library they have a lot of books about elvian. But come to think of it as pointless I'm whirling about it.

After selecting and retrieving some books from the shelf, I immediately headed towards the collection of tables that were in the corner of the room. There are not so many visitors today, so there are plenty of free places to choose from. My choice fell on one of the tables that stuck to the wall and near the window.

This is the best place to read. Besides being able to get enough light from the sun. You can also breathe fresh air in the morning if you open a little window gap. Letting the wind defend you while reading, makes you more comfortable and calm.

Five hours passed unknowingly after being dissolved into the books that were on the table. It's past lunch time, but my stomach isn't hungry. Reading seems to be my top priority over eating. The information I got was so interesting.

The books I have chosen speak of all the deities worshipped in this world. After watching the Sun Festival and Rubiel Festival a few months ago, I became interested in the other gods. It turned out that this world possessed and trusted twelve gods besides Lord Lillio and Goddess Lunaris. They were known as the Twelve Sacred Gods, led by the God of Greatness, Inggra.

It is said that the gods originally lived on the kahyangan, separating themselves from the creatures that were on the surface of the earth. Humans, as the brightest creatures on the surface, began to have difficulty surviving in the shadows of monsters and giant beasts. They are often preyed upon. Death rate is higher than birth rate. The number of humans shrank to about ten thousand from the beginning which amounted to one million.

At the crucial moment, Lord Inggra ordered all the gods to descend to earth. Tell them to save all mankind. With all-powerful power, the gods destroyed monsters and beasts that dared to prey on humans. Then created three continents on this earth. The Blue Continent is for humans to live in, the place I live in right now. The Green Continent for the mystical beings. While the Black Continent for monsters and giant beasts. God Inggra separated each continent with a vast ocean, so that they would not disturb each other.

This collection of books again managed to sink me into his world until time passed very quickly. The evening has come. Orange skies and gray clouds dotted the sky. The sun will set on the western horizon. Flocks of birds flew and chirped over the building. Maybe they're going home. That's how it's supposed to be.

I have to go home before night, or I'll skip dinner. After reading, I decided to close the book. But it was held back instantly when there was an interesting page. 'The 'Christal Spirit of Indemnius the Gods'.

I squinted my eyes and made sure I read them correctly. There is nothing wrong with the writing. The only strange thing is that this is the first time I've heard that term. Even among the few books about the god I just read, there was no mention of it. Curiosity made me ignore the night that came and opened the next page.

According to this book, the Indemnius Spirit Crystal was an heirloom belonging to the gods. Each god and goddess has one. This is what keeps the stability of the world from the past until now. Despite having the name 'spirit crystal', this thing was completely shapeless like a piece of crystal.

For example, the Wind Spirit Crystal, Vitruj, belonging to the Weather Goddess, Alina, has a form of a robe that is commonly worn by travelers in the desert. This heirloom has the power to control the wind and weather. A very amazing power, I think. The same is true for other spirit crystals. Suddenly my eyes were fixed on a single point in the courtyard.

'... the most extraordinary thing was not the spirit crystal belonging to either God Inggra or Goddess Alina. It was a Spirit of Hope Crystal named Nadzieja. She is possessed by Goddess Shakilla as the Goddess of Hope. A goddess who had a very sincere and kind heart among the gods and goddesses. Nadzieja has the ability to grant any hope even if it is impossible.

'This spirit crystal is the smallest of all. It took the form of a pin with an engraving of an eighth star, making it a symbol of hope for mankind.'

I was immediately dumbfounded. Shut your mouth when reading that page. I reread the last part and tried to understand it.

Not likely. A pin of an eighth star? Isn't that what I picked up a year ago from the river at the club's inauguration?

Again, I was stunned. My feet went limp for a moment. "That means ... am I brought into this world because of that spirit crystal?"
