SOML – Chapter 1: A county of hopes and dreams

Chapter 1 – A county of hopes and dreams … Calm Era, Year 156 Soles were thumping against the asphalt. It was eight in the morning and people’s noises sounded in every neighborhood. There were a few to none street sweeper on the clean road because people didn’t like to throw trashes everywhere, a shameful thing in the county. People already finished their bath early this morning. Cleaning their house was even earlier, as they had already done it while the sun just risen. Thus, many people looking refreshed and handsome walking along even with their simple clothing. “Good morning.” A woman fixing her head. The man dressed in white sando responded. “Good morning.  I don’t get the news. There is inflation?” “Rumor is that the gold mine has collapsed.” “That’s bad. My daughter has several devices opened at the same time.” His head became itchy. He leaned forward letting the sunshine blind him. The woman laughed and bid goodbye. Creak. From the half-open window, a child between nine and...

SOML – Prologue

… On this bare land, the first Undying transcended through space. Before she left, she relinquished her armor, sword, shield and flag because she determined that she could survive in any situation. A long-time pass, the armor, shield and flag were lost, never seen again, leaving the sword alone. It became the heirloom of humanity and only used during crucial times. Time passed, the first Enlightened transcended through meditating under a tree, withstanding all-natural forces. Before he left, he planted behind a seed because he determined that humanity needed shelter. Another period passed, the seed grew into a colossal tree. It had the power to resist forces and protected humans through calamities. Era passed, the tree grew weak and weary, its leaves were yellow color. Its bark dried. The sword already lost its luster and full of rust. It was then the first Deity transcended through fire. Before he left, he forged countless of weapons for humanity to fight against all kinds of danger. ...

 Hello everyone! I’m just an amateur writer, trying to create. :)) It’s been years since I wanted to do something about my ideas and imaginations inside my head. And only this time I decided I wanted to write it. I feel my idea is big that’s why I’m going to do it. Surely, it will not be equal with famous authors like Sir King & madam Rowling from Western or Er Gen & I eat Tomatoes from Eastern. Mostly, it will be just for fun. But I also wanted to prove myself that I can do something I considered my passion. I also wanted to express myself, kidding that I might become crazy because of the influx of ideas. It’s hard to have a load of stories, yet I can’t even share it with others. I don’t like small talks and I wanted to converse with others a lot about all these fantastical worlds, dramas and actions. Unfortunately, I have yet to see someone like that. Anyway, I will beat you to it - I’m not good at English language. I remember that I used to sleep in class. But I’ll assur...

SOML – Chapter 9: Trap in a dream

  Chapter 9 – Trap in a dream … “We have cast the stone.” A man stood on a balcony. “Indeed. They have chosen the ‘one’.” A much smaller guy said. He sat in a chair while sipping a tantalizing red wine. He wore a mask and only his mouth was visible. “The only thing we need to do is wait.” It is hard to see his face. Even though he was looking outside, his thoughts were somewhere. “Nah, I’m going there. I wanted to watch.” The other guy stood up, patted his colorful clothes and swayed as he exited, leaving the man as the darkness engulfed him. … A new fresh day started as the horse’s shoes thundered on the road. Ben, Jed and Jigen sat on a bench. Jigen wanted to have sandwiches, which Ben immediately agreed and followed him. They sat on the bench with a pack of foods. Jed only ate one while scribbling on his notebook. On the other hand, the chubby kids kept on eating. There was a dozen of wrapper on the trashcan beside them. Despite the food in their mouth, the two c...

SOML – Chapter 14: This is my home

  Chapter 14 – This is my home … On another location, Jigen along with his group treaded onward a winding valley. They gritted their teeth and stuck their feet on the ground lest the strong winds caught them. On the left and right of the valley, two black mountains sandwiched their path. Rocks formation formed on the surface of the mountains. The rocks were black and dry. This gave it a withered look. Knocking on the wall, it was actually durable. Faint face-formation created made it creepy. The winding noise of air sounded like ghost weeping. “Nina, are you sure there is a flag here?” Jigen asked the only girl in the group. “Hm. Based on the clues we have found, the chances of a flag hidden must be, first, in a location with a trap that is very difficult. Second, the flags must be apart in certain distance because it will make it harder in journeying around this whole realm.” The girl, Nina explained. Jigen nodded. The girl continued. “We found the other flag but because of the di...

SOML – Chapter 3: The Academy of Hopes and Dreams

  Chapter 3 – The Academy of Hopes and Dreams … The leader went to Jed after he’d done all major matters. He left the remaining works to his men. The schedule was quite tight, but he still had time. He wanted to do something for the child. He heard something happened to the boy, so even just once, he would help. “What do you think?” The leader asked Jed. They rode in an open carriage, driving to the center of south section and onwards to the outskirts of east section before standing in front of a house. It was the same as the other houses surrounding it. The only thing, these houses were pretty empty aside from important and necessities. A man wearing a cool white shirt and black pants arrived in front of them. He had a log book pinned on his armpit. “Hello, I am the agent here. I take care of renting these houses.” The agent looked at the leader, who looked at Jed. He didn’t speak immediately. The leader waited and smiled at the agent. The agent seemed to understand his intent. ...
