I'm working on other projects so sadly this story is gonna be on hold state. Before that I thought I gave you guys a sneak peak of over 2000 words from CH 18. Full early access to Chapter 18 is on my Patreon. Stay tuned for future update!


Luffy, Lumine, and Paimon step out of the tunnel between The Chasm as they arrive at their destination, Sumeru. Marveling at the lush greenery and exotic plants.


Paimon floating excitedly


Paimon: Wow, Sumeru is so beautiful!


They then spot someone who looks like a female scholar walking ahead and decides to approach her.


Paimon: Hey, Lumine, maybe that scholar can help us find the Dendro Archon!

Lumine: Good idea, Paimon. Let's ask her.

Luffy: Yeah, let's go! I'm ready for another adventure!


They hurry to catch up with the female scholar, but as they approach her, she seems entirely absorbed in her thoughts, not even noticing their presence.

Paimon waved her hands.


Paimon: Excuse me! Miss Scholar! Can you help us? We're looking for the Dendro Archon!


The Scholar continues walking, oblivious to their calls.


Lumine: It looks like she's not paying attention to us at all.

Luffy: Maybe she's deep in thought? Hey, how about we follow her? She might lead us to a town or something.

Paimon: Good idea, Luffy! Let's follow her and see where she goes.


The trio starts following the scholar, keeping a safe distance so as not to startle her. They walk through the dense forest, admiring the vibrant flora and fauna.


Luffy: This place is awesome! I wonder if they have any good food around here.

Lumine: Again, you always think about food. Let's focus on finding the Dendro Archon first.

Paimon: Paimon's getting hungry, too, though...


Luffy, Lumine, and Paimon continue following the scholar through the dense forest. After a while, they notice her veering off the main path and entering a hidden cave. Curious, they quietly follow her inside.

Paimon is whispering to them.


Paimon: Why did she come into this cave? Do you think she's hiding something?


Lumine whispers back.


Lumine: Let's find out. Stay quiet.


The scholar lights some incense, filling the cave with a mysterious, sweet scent. Suddenly, Lumine feels dizzy and collapses.
