All Power Wizard Part 1 Side Story Episode 002
Ep 1. A ghost lives in my house (2)
Creak-!
The moment I step down, the hallway floor cries, warning me.
It’s dangerous down here.
but… … .
“… … Well, I can’t go back
“That’s right.”
I swallowed my saliva and carefully stepped down.
In a history book I read recently, there was a story that the founding king of the country, King Rhedian I, went alone and alone into an underground lair where a group of 500 thieves were hiding to save a princess from ruin… … .
I don’t know why, but I feel like I can understand how Rhedian I felt as he went underground.
He must have been this scared too, right?
I had no choice but to go down, obviously.
“Whoa… “
After coming down the stairs, I stood in front of the basement warehouse door and caught my breath.
Judging from the fact that one of the ‘lanterns’, a magic item that permanently emits light, hanging on the wall was empty, it was clear that Ruina had taken it inside.
Anyway, a five-year-old has no fear.
When I was… … .
At the age of five, I couldn’t even go to the bathroom on my own, so I held Lord Bolvar’s hand, huh?
Isn’t this it?
Anyway, I very slowly opened the door to the underground storage room.
Squeak-squeak-
The warehouse door opened with a strange sound, as if it would break at any moment, and terrible dust poured out.
Thanks to this, I took the brunt of the dust.
Puha! Aiko! Ke, hehe!
I fanned the dust away and narrowed my eyes.
However, I don’t see anything.
“… … “Lu, Ruina?”
I secretly shined the lantern inside.
Even though the lantern was provided, it was still dark inside the warehouse.
These days, a lot of cheap magic items have become popular, so there are lights with permanent light magic hanging in quite a few places.
However, this warehouse was very far from the magic civilization.
Not only does it have no lights, but it is also clear that it has not been maintained for over 100 years.
There’s Ruina in a place like this?
“Ruina? Don’t you know everything that’s there… … “Oh, come out!”
But remain silent.
No sound could be heard inside the warehouse.
… … Is there nothing?
I couldn’t help but worry here.
Are you going to go up the stairs and return to Lord Bolvar?
Or, are you going to search the underground storage room as you first thought?
A problem that makes it difficult to choose something
It was.
Inside that warehouse, it feels really uncomfortable and scary.
However, the worries were short-lived.
“Of course, it won’t work.”
afraid.
I am so afraid.
However, when I thought of Ruina, who was captured by the warehouse ghost, I gained courage that I had never had before.
No matter how much Ruina treats her brother as a weak fool… … .
No matter how much Ruina eats my snacks,
Even if they take it as they please… … .
“… … “I couldn’t do it without Ruina.”
I need a younger brother.
I promised my mom.
I will definitely protect my family with my own strength.
I closed my eyes tightly and stepped into the warehouse.
It was then.
“Phew, kid. “Come when you grow up.”
“••••••uh?”
Someone’s voice was heard.
This voice is clear.
It was the ‘ghost’ voice I heard in the bathroom.
♦ * *
Bolvar Peten.
He smiled happily as he looked at Lu Yin’s back going down the basement stairs.
“Hehe, it’s cute.”
I’ve never been a father, but I wonder if this is what it feels like to be a father.
Looking at Ardel’s future, I couldn’t help but smile.
Ruin, 9 years old.
Our little master has great talent for magic, but I was a little worried about his weak personality… … He was a good boy who grew up better than anyone else.
Because he was an innocent boy, he was the type of person who had more fun teasing than anyone else.
Above all, the reactions when you make fun of them are fun.
and Ruina, 5 years old.
If she had been born a man, our youngest daughter would have become a woman who would sweep the world. She had a precociousness befitting her age.
If you look at the young lady with her cheeks swollen and her breasts still intact, and her cheeks clear and clear… … It makes me wonder if this is where the real genius is.
by the way… … .
“miss.”
“yes
“Why are you here?”
Why is Lady Ruina standing next to me?
I’m sure I saw it with my own eyes going down to the basement a little while ago… … .
In response to Bolvar’s question, Ruina pointed down the underground stairs and said.
“I went down and came right back up. “Because it’s too dark.”
Ruina smiled brightly as she lifted the lantern hanging on the wall of the basement warehouse.
Bolvar Peten spoke in an embarrassed voice.
“… … Mr. Master went into the basement warehouse saying he was looking for the young lady.”
“i know. Because I saw it while hiding in the closet. My brother is an idiot. “I am here.”
If Master finds out about this, how will he react?
Would you reprimand yourself for saying that Ruina went down?
Or would he attack Ruina, who was hiding in a strange place?
Maybe Louis will hug me and cry, saying he’s glad he’s safe.
‘Guh, I’m curious… …
I was very curious how Ruin would react when he found out about this too late… … .
Now was not the time to sit still and watch.
“Lord Bolvar. Where are you going?”
“I’m going to pick you up, Master.”
“why? “You’re not a baby.”
“Young master, you think the basement warehouse is haunted.”
“… … fool. “There are no ghosts in this world.”
“That’s because you are pure.”
Yes, there are no ghosts in the cellar.
However, if Ruin, who is scared, gets hurt in the basement warehouse, it would be a big problem.
It’s right to bring it yourself before an accident occurs.
“Then, I’ll be back.”
Bolvar immediately began descending the basement stairs.
♦ * ♦
Ghost in the basement… … .
It was true!
“Did you kidnap Ruina?”
There really were ghosts!
“Oh, answer me! “Where is Ruina?”
But, what happened?
The ghost’s voice was not heard at all after that, and only my angry cries echoed throughout the underground warehouse.
Perhaps I was hallucinating.
Or that all of these are fakes created by my imagination… … .
I stood there and asked many questions, but no clear answer came out.
There is only one clear answer found here.
“… … “It’s just a warehouse.”
Before entering the basement for the first time,
The fear I had was completely gone.
When I came to, I was already in the middle of the basement warehouse.
The ‘basement’, which was an unknown world full of fear, appeared to be nothing more than a warehouse filled with old antiques.
“There are no ghosts, after all… …
Was it just a story my dad made up?
I felt a little discouraged.
It’s dark, but I can’t believe I’ve been living in a place like this, an ordinary antique warehouse, for so long.
I looked around at the lantern.
“Ruina!”
“Hide and seek is over, so come out quickly!”
However, Ruina did not come out when asked, and all that was visible was the various antiques piled up in the warehouse.
Pictures hanging on the wall, dusty old books, ceramics with strange patterns, small stone statues, rusty swords, etc… … Miscellaneous items were piled up together.
Everyone passed by with a quick glance… … .
“What is this.”
Among them, I approached one stone in particular, as if fascinated.
There lay a broken slab of stone that may have originally been a single painting.
On the stone slab, there was a scary-looking entity that looked like a goblin, holding a trident in its hand and destroying something.
It was not visible what this goblin was destroying.
I guess I’ll have to put together the different pieces of the stone slab to complete the picture… … .
Are there any other pieces?
At that time, I was rummaging through a box full of miscellaneous things.
” huh?”
Something strange happened.
From the piece of stone slab I grabbed, a strange light emanated.
What kind of light is this?
I reached out to the halo of light.
It was then.
“young master!”
“… … “Look, Lord Bolvar.”
The door to the warehouse burst open, and Lord Bolvar entered.
At the same time, light no longer emanated from the stone slab.
“Oops, sorry. The lady was above.”
“… … Oh right, I was looking for Ruina. By the way, Ruina is on top? “She’s not here?”
“yes. “It is true that he came down the stairs, but it looks like he did not enter the warehouse at all.”
“Ugh! I knew it would be like this! Louis, am I okay?”
“Yes, you are fine. “He was hiding in the closet.”
“Did you find me? “Stupid brother?”
“Hey! what?”
“stupid. “Hey, brother.”
Ruina popped her head out from next to Lord Bolvar’s leg, and I chased after her.
“How dare you make fun of my brother! at there!”
“Kyaaa!”
Okay, tsk tsk tsk… … .
I came down to the warehouse for no reason and ended up eating a lot of dust.
* * *
9 years later.
“Me, indeed. It’s absurd… …
I was around 9 years old and was about to enter the academy.
And, even the little things that happened in the basement warehouse.
The memories of that day were quickly forgotten along with the broken slabs filled with dust.
Well, it has to be that way.
The core of the incident that I remember that day was about whether the underground warehouse ghost really existed or not… … .
Because it wasn’t like a broken piece of slate.
If you look at it this way, it’s both absurd and amazing.
“Strang.”
“why’?”
“Why is a piece of divine power in the basement of my house?”
“… … Well, you became a ‘player’
Isn’t this the same reason?”
“What does that mean?”
“It was decided that way a long time ago. “The successor who will have the next piece of the relic is you.”
“Who decides that?”
“That’s right, Drakaji. “Who could it be?”
World Destroyer, Draka.
How did the dragon who lived a thousand years ago know me and choose me as his successor?
Ugh, just thinking about it makes my head hurt.
I stopped thinking deeply and lifted up the piece of divine power.
Then, 9 years ago.
Just like when I first encountered this sculpture when I was around nine years old, the same light began to emanate from me.
… … It reminds me of the old days.
Then, Strang asked me.
“Ruin.”
” huh?”
“So, did you find the ghost in the basement?”
“Where are the ghosts in the world?”
“yes?”
“… … “There is an incarnation, though.”
Strang and I burst out laughing at the same time.
We can guess why Strang asks this question.
“Strang, that was you, right?”
“what?”
“Ah, why are you pretending not to know again? Ghost in the basement warehouse. “It’s you and St.”
“… … Did you notice it?”
That’s right, if you look at it, it’s fake.
Who else but you?
“But then, you hadn’t even woken up from the seal, so what did you call me?”
“Originally, old relics contain the owner’s thoughts. “I wonder if a thousand-year-old resentment and obsession called you out.”
Millennium-old resentment and obsession?
What does that mean?
I shrugged my shoulders as if I wasn’t sure, and Strang smiled sinisterly.
She recalls something from a long time ago
He turned his gaze to the side and raised the corner of his mouth.
“That’s right, Draka and I were waiting for you. It is not Ardel, a young Ruin who cannot recognize a piece of divine power even when he sees it, but a man of revenge and destruction who gave Draka his abilities… …
“••••••huh?”
Of revenge and destruction?
Strang did not finish his sentence.
“Of revenge and destruction, what?”
“There is something like that.”
“what. “How can you make people curious and then hang up like this?”
I just smiled warmly as if a fun old memory came to mind.
It seemed like she was remembering her meeting with Draka.
