Miserable Wretches 🥀

Chapter 8.0- Time that ticks differently 🥀

***

From the sandful beach of Roasted Archipelago,

There was an obvious sight of small lights across the berserk sea. Looking from afar, it was as if they were lanterns floating on the quiet sea, lighting the dark watery of glowing beams.

Though, that's only what foreigners, like Choi Han who was sitting by the beach, thought.

"It's Loen; the kingdom where Mr. World, Miss Magician, Miss Judgement, Mr. Moon and Mr. Star live."

Interjected Choi Han's view sightseeing, was a boy, if in fact not taking into account of his height and physical body that was almost two times bigger than the black haired.

"Mr. Derrick..."

In alert of the sudden arrival person, Choi Han who was used to dangers back in his world, almost grabbed the sword beside him and struck the foe. It was fortunate that he recognized Derrick's voice after a few seconds of listening.

He was the person who had saved him while he was in lost and separation from his companions after all.

'Derrick Berg; Mr. Fool's future blessed.'

— is what Derrick, the Sun, introduced himself before reaching out his hands to Choi Han who was found unconscious in the small forest slightly afar from New City of Silver.

He then actively supported the man and helped him adapting the stay in this developing island, where Headquarter of Church of The Fool resides. Although it wasn't detailed, Derrick had heard of Choi Han's difficult circumstance and how he seperated from his companions.

Seeing how Derrick reacted that Choi Han was the only one he found during his daily scouting, the black-haired's pairs of black pupils turned further darker, before he desperately asked Derrick if there was any means he could search for his companions in this strangely unfamiliar world.

During The Fool's slumber, Derrick Berg was able to learn many new things from his fellow organization members, Tarot Club, that still holds the meeting once a month of the beginning date.

It was solely to keep tracks of the world's changes, and be reported of each members' situations, or if they might need some helps in regarding the orders that their lord left behind.

However, after a few meeting of Tarot Club and Derrick describing the 'Cale Henituse' person that Choi Han was looking for, there was still nearly zero to none news regarding it.

Thus, out of desperation, Choi Han sought for another method which was to become a beyonder. It was previously something that Derrick wouldn't recommend, especially for Choi Han who knew nothing of how miserable madness could bring.

Though, the man himself still insisted and ended up choosing Warrior pathway (a.k.a. Giant pathway), that was City of Silver's speciality, in consideration of his rather powerful sword combat and how easily he could master his sword aura.

Plopping himself next to Choi Han, Derrick glanced over the man's blooded sword and the gloomy bottle as he opened his mouth.

"..will you be okay, Mr. Choi Han? Are you sure you're going to advance to Pugilist right away?"

'..it's only been six months!'

— was what Derrick wanted to further add, however, Choi Han's gazes that subconsciously turned sharper as he listened to him, made it vivid to Derrick just how desperate this man beside him was.

It had already been six months since Choi Han had been separated from his companions, and that's precisely the reason why he had to rush things.

Even though Derrick wasn't confident, he knew and saw how hard Choi Han acted his role as a Warrior. Despite that, madness still wasn't that simple, and if one wrong move, let alone advancing to next sequence, he wouldn't probably live until all of his companions are gathered.
