Destroying My Own Novel

“There are still a few people that are alive, we should go down there and help them,” Rozan said to Gerrard, Gerrard nodded in agreement.

They both slid down the hill and it startled the people in the village, they ran back inside their house because they thought a demon came to kill them. They checked those who laid down on the ground to see if they were still alive, but unfortunately, none of them were.

Mykel and the others walked down the hill, Alphid jumped down from Edith’s arms and immediately walked to the house in the middle. He knocked on the door quietly, and then a guy who looked as skinny as Alphid peeked his head from the gap in the door.

They were staring at Alphid talking with that person behind the door, and then the guy came out. He looked at Mykel and the others that looked weird based on their clothing.

“Are you people from another world?” The guy asked as he slowly walked toward them with suspicion and disbelief at the same time.

“Yes, we are from another world,” Mykel answered.

Knowing that Alphid and the guy were talking with Mykel and the others, the rest of the villagers came out of their houses and looked at them with curiosity.

“My name is Zulok, the chief of this village,” the guy said as he looked at the dead bodies of the people around him. Jeanne looked at Alphid which disturbed her a bit because Alphid wasn’t bothered by the dead bodies around him as if it was a normal thing he saw.

“These people are starving and we don’t even have anything on us, should we get them something to eat?” Gunnar whispered to Rozan with Alphid’s brother’s dead body on his left shoulder.

“Like what? A grass? Look around you, these people starve not because they want to but because there’s nothing they can eat around here,” Rozan whispered back at Gunnar.

Gunnar raised his eyebrows and shrugged his mouth, he then put down the dead body on the ground carefully.

“Please come, we can talk more comfortably in my house rather than out here here,” Zulok said as he pointed his hand at his house.

Mykel and the others entered Zulok’s house while the rest of the villagers took care of the dead bodies.

Mykel looked at the shabby house and everything in it as well. Zulok sat down and told everyone to sit but then he saw Gunnar and a bit hesitated to tell him to sit because he was too big.

“Don’t worry, I will stand here,” Gunnar said with a smile on his face.

“Before I can answer your questions, can I ask you first from what world you all came from?” Zulok asked as he looked at them.

“We came from Earth, that’s what we called it,” Jeanne answered.

“Earth, so your world will be below us,” Zulok mumbled to himself.

“Excuse me? What did you just say?” Agnez asked as he raised her eyebrow and glared at Zulok.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you or anything, but I’m just telling the truth,” Zulok said with his eyes closed and shook his hands at Agnez.

Lillith suddenly hummed and nodded with understanding. “I see, so that’s how it is,” she said.

Mykel looked at Lillith and nodded up. “What did you see?”

“It’s really hard to explain but this world was the world before the towers appeared on Earth. This world was indeed invaded by Azazel and what he meant by that was the moment our world got conquered, our world will be below their world,” Lillith explained as she looked at Zulok.

“Is that really what will happen to us if we fail to clear all the rowers?” Jeanne asked and looked at Mykel with a worried expression.

“Also, something is really bugging me because, in this world, there’s only one tower, not thirteen like what we have on Earth. So, which tower will be taking our world, then?” Lillith said as she looked at them.

“Wh-what? You have thirteen towers in your world?!” Zulok was shocked when he heard it. “May the Goddesses protect you all,” he said with a worried expression which was really weird for them to look at someone who suffered the most to be worried about them.

“How did you know that we are from a different world?” Jeanne asked with her arms crossed on the table.

“Other than from your attire, we know because our heroes in our world went to the previous world inside the tower that got conquered from Demon King Azazel,” Zulok answered.

“That’s insane, it feels like we are in inception,” Rozan said.

“So, what happened to your heroes who tried to save the previous world?” Mykel asked.

“They gave up because it was an impossible task for them to do even though the Constellations helped them with everything they got,” Zulok answered as he looked down. “Right now, our heroes are protecting the Cavasi Kingdom, our last line from those demons, it’s only about time before the demon takes over everything,” He continued as he looked at Mykel.

“How many of them left? The heroes of your world,” Gunnar asked as he carefully moved his arms for a stretch.

“I’m not sure, but there used to be at least millions of them back then. They were the ones who got the blessings from the Gods and Goddesses, but we have fought for decades and I believe there are a dozen of them left,” Zulok answered.

“So they called them Heroes, and we called ourselves Awakeners. That’s really interesting,” Vincze said as he looked at Gunnar and Sven.

“We were informed that one day, heroes from another world will come and help us. That message was a decade ago and we were waiting patiently as we tried to survive,” Zulok explained as he looked at Mykel and the others. “Then you all came, our prayers are answered,” he continued as he smiled happily.

“You said that the Cavasi Kingdom is your last line, how many kingdoms are there in your world?” Rozan asked.

“There are four in total, Cavasi Kingdom, Peom Kingdom, Jahne Kingdom, and lastly Cerlid Kingdom. Right now we are far in the west from the other kingdoms,” Zulok answered as he pointed at the directions of each kingdom.

The reason there were so many kingdoms was that each kingdom represent one floor in the tower. So, if Mykel and the others defended and took back the Cavasi Kingdom, they cleared the eleventh floor. He didn’t want to tell them about it and let them see it for themselves.

“That’s a lot of kingdoms to handle,” Agnez said as she sighed and raised her eyebrows.

“How are we going to do this, boss? Should we go straight to the Cavasi Kingdom now?” Gunnar asked.

“Can you give us a map so we can see Cavasi Kingdom’s structure? Or something that you can use to show us,” Mykel asked.

“Please wait here, let me grab something,” Zulok said as he went outside.

“We can’t do this on our own, can we?” Agnez asked as she stared at Mykel.

“I can,” Mykel said as he stared back at Agnez. “It doesn’t matter how many of them that we are going to deal with, what matters is that there’s no time limit for this and we can do it slowly if we have to,” he answered and explained it to the others.

“Sorry, I’m back now,” Zulok said as he walked into the house with pebbles in his hands.

Zulok put the pebbles on the table and he recreated the kingdom with those. He pointed at each of the pebbles and gave Mykel and the others enough information for them to know Cavasi Kingdom’s structure.

“Four gates and the castle is in the middle where the Heroes are right now, and half of the kingdom is already occupied by the demons. We can still the west and south gate to enter the kingdom, so far there’s no problem with that,” Jeanne said as she reconfirmed what she heard from Zulok.

“Yes, and please, save our world, oh Heroes from another world,” Zulok said as he went on his knees and pressed his hands together.

Mykel stood up and nodded with understanding. “Let’s move, we have heard enough,” he said as he walked out of the house and then the others followed him from behind.

All the villagers were looking at them and they all looked at them as if they were their ray of light. Mykel ignored them and kept on walking back up to the hill to see the kingdom clearly.

“There are four kingdoms that we need to take care of, that’s quite difficult to do, to be honest,” Rozan said as he looked at the Cavasi Kingdom.

“That won’t be a problem if it’s us,” Agnez said.

Gunnar snickered as he grinned. “Damn right!”
