"The Great Dragon Empire"
This Empire was originally a small Empire in 177 when the world experienced a food crisis and the threat of the previous demon king
The name of this Empire used to be Majestic Light Empire.. because this Empire is not famous and is close to the territory of the previous Demon King
In 183 the world is almost approaching the century of destruction because many small empires were destroyed due to the occupation of the previous Demon king Army but..
one of the Archmage of that generation who was born in this small Empire asked for the help of the dragon race to eliminate the demon king and his army.
and an agreement was made between the two races despite the problems of enmity at the beginning of their century before the appearance of the demonic race.
the terms and benefits of the agreement were still unknown to anyone except the race leaders at that time.
then in the year 185 the Majestic light empire and the dragon race led by the Great Dragon managed to survive the attack of the demon race army and soon after the big Empire like the Moon Goddesses performed the ritual of summoning heroes from other worlds to eradicate the demon race from that world.
the hero and his party followed by the Great Dragon managed to kill the previous demon king and create peace for several hundred years until now.
due to the victory falling into the hands of the allied race.. to respect the dragon race which also gave them a greater chance of victory.. Majestic Light Empire changed their Empire name to Great Dragon Empire as a form of respect for the services of the dragon race helping mankind and some humans consider the Great Dragon to be a dragon god.
and changing the name of the Empire caused many traders and tourists to move there to get protection from the dragon race which also contributed to the economy of this Empire improving and becoming one of the largest and greatest Empires in human history...
'so that's the history of this Empire right?
'that right!
Akira asked Karina who was in front of him who was still lining up to enter the Empire gate
not long after they entered and saw many people passing through the gate.. they saw a market full of people, a large adventurer's guild that had many facilities unlike in the forest village of Arcania, accommodation for adventurers or tourists and other facilities.
soon they passed a large building and Akira who was full of curiosity asked
"hey..what place is that?
Akira pointed to a large building near him and Karina turned towards it
"ouh..that place is called light monastery..where people of royal family status and powerful influential people gather to enjoy their day while staying here..
"like Black Order too?
'yes..why asked me that?
'soon.. I will definitely get there
'don't dream to big to get there!
'tch..at least give me some motivation!
'not a chance..
Akira answered with irritation followed by Karina who said teasingly..
'by the way.. before we want to start the expedition we have to settle in a temporary place first.. my spine hurts from sitting in the carriage for too long.. so I want to rest first..
Karina said that while stretching her body
"Right..so where?
'there..
Karina pointed while making her eyes as if feeling nostalgic and walk..
'cling
'Welcome..
The doorbell rang followed by the voice of the aunt at the counter welcoming the customer in a friendly manner
'we want to book a separate empty room..
Karina asked kindly while Akira began to observe the entire room carefully
'wait for moment miss...
Karina waited for her aunt at the counter and began to look at an empty table with six empty chairs with a nostalgic feeling..
it turns out....that place is a special place for heroes party in the future to relax while talking about their problems and expressing their hearts while getting drunk
but at the time they were happy when they succeeded in killing the future demon king and got married except for Karina but ended tragically by dying at the hands of the next demon king
Karina reflexively shed tears and she quickly wiped them away with her hands so that no one would know but unfortunately for her..
Akira, who pretended not to see that, began to stir something in his mind
**************
Akira thinks that he is just an extra character in the story of the world..and he will surely die if he continues to be alone without a guarantee..so he plans to use Karina the main character to achieve his goal..
someone stupid once said that life has no meaning.. but for Akira at the moment who used to think like that..thinks that he is not an eternal god.. he is human.. and he will one day go through a destiny that cannot avoided and that is "death"
so he did not kill himself but waited for death to come to him while fighting to fulfill Zuri's wish as his life's purpose
'the purpose of living huh?.. when I was in the original world I just wanted to die because I had been locked in a room for too long as society's trash..
Akira said that as he looked at the bright moon shining on him through the window of his room
'but..
Akira held his hand tightly as he said softly
' And now I don't regret my earlier decision not to die so miserably in my room at that moment.. because I have found Zuri as the person I love the most even if she has to die..
"whoosh..
the wind was blowing softly at that time as Akira opened and closed his eyes slowly
'and now.. it's time for me to find death by fulfilling the purpose of my life..
***********
Karina who was still lying next to Akira's bed was embarrassed and her face was red because in her life she had never slept with a man once and that made her feel strange
because all the separate rooms were booked by tourists from outside the empire causing Akira and Karina to forced to share the same room
'damn it.. this makes me less comfortable with this situation
Karina felt upset with the quiet situation followed by Akira who slept next to her even though his body was not facing her.
but suddenly...
'creak
Karina heard Akira wake up and headed to the window of their room that night
'what does he want to do..gulp
Karina said that while swallowing
tap..
Akira sat with a blank expression looking at the moon and daydreaming
'what.. daydreaming again? what a weirdo..
Karina wanted to sleep but she heard Akira whispering something that was hard for her to hear and she used hearing magic to extend her sensing range and she surprised..
'seeking the destiny of my death while fulfilling the purpose of my life..
'what..
Karina sweated heavily when she heard those words from Akira who made a blank expression
Karina looked at Akira furtively.. and Karina could see Akira's true expression which she had never seen before..
as if Akira wanted to cry but couldn't that's what Karina could explain in her mind and she need to reveal that someday...
***********
eternal happiness will never exist in the world.. because the world is like a spinning wheel.. sometimes it has happiness, sometimes it has the bitterness of life.. and death is not the way to escape from it all.. but life is more beautiful with all the tests of life.. because people will adapt more easily and develop into smarter and more mature people for the future..
And sometimes a thing isn't beautiful because it last forever..and that is a beautiful in human being nature because he will die with pride as a human being who benefits future generations and leaves behind an interesting story
Akira began to think like that in his mind that night..
