Chapter 8 - Four years of study

 Falkmar took a deep gulp as he stood in the corridor. The spectacular scene overwhelmed his thoughts, making him appear dazed.

 A giant spider walks out from the nest on the top and gazes into Falkmar. The giant spider jumped from the top and walked over as the beauty whistled.

 It seems the giant spider is harmless but friendly, those eyes seem so innocent just like the eyes of a child.

 "I guess I can't judge a book by its cover..." Falkmar said.

 Initially, he was scared when he saw the spider, but for some reason, these spiders exuded a friendly and curious aura that made him not scared anymore.

 The beautiful woman stretches out an arm and opens her palms, the giant spider does the same with her, it stretches out a foot to shake hands.

 After that, the beauty shifted her gaze to Falkmar, who immediately understood her intention; she wanted him to do the same with her to alleviate his dread. After all, the best way to against your fear is to face your fear.

 "I can do it! I can do it! I can do it!" Falkmar kept giving psychological encouragement.

 With that, Falkmar slowly stretches out an arm and his heart starts beating wildly, his arms stop in the air, and open palms. Another foot of the giant spider raised and put on Falkmar's palm gently. Under the witness of the beauty, Falkmar and the giant spider shake hands.

 The time seems to have stopped at this moment, they kept this position for a long time. Falkmar breathes heavily, his chest rises and falls significantly while staring at the giant spider.

 "So furry." Falkmar whispered.

 This sense makes chills run down Falkmar's spine. However, this has greatly reduced his dread in his mind.

 The handshake took a few seconds and a finger poked Falkmar's shoulder slightly pulling him out from dazing, it also broke their shake hands.

 Falkmar turned his head back and saw the beauty with a smile. She walks around the giant spider and goes towards the stairs and the throne. 

 As she steps onto the stairs, her brown high heels echo in the corridor. The top of the corridor is open and the amber sunlight lengthened her shadow on the stairs.

 Click... Click... Click...

 At this moment, all the spiders come out of their nests to welcome their queen back. Her gradient blue and black hair swayed with her dress in the breeze.

 First step... second steps... third steps...

 Every step she took brought her higher and closer to the throne.

 Finally, she reached the throne, sat upon it, and tilted her head, her hand resting on her cheek. Her smile was alluring and elegant, reflecting the temperament of a queen.

 Under her gaze, many spiders have gotten out from the nest and all lie on the ground. Falkmar saw so many spiders here starting to feel nervous but the giant spider got closer to he leaned on the giant spider making him feel a bit safer.

 "Auer hikowem! wuoy!" A sudden voice sounded in the corridor, that was a girl's voice.

 A naked girl comes from nowhere and flies to the beauty. The naked girl pounced on the beauty's embrace and nuzzled wildly.

 "What the fuck?" Falkmar blushes deeply.

 This scene made Falkmar turn his head to face the giant spiders, close his eyes, and bury his face in the fur.

 "Gruu..." the giant spider murmured softly in confusion.

 Suddenly, an invisible power grips Falkmar's body, dragging him from the spiders' swarm. This unknown power frightens Falkmar, making him scream.

 "AHH!!" 

 In the eyes of all spiders, Falkmar flies quickly from the ground to the throne. The source of this invisible power is that beautiful woman. As she raises her hand, many little spider silk rush out from her fingers and linger on Falkmar.

 Just a soft pull, Falkmar flies towards them. 

 "Agh!" Falkmar flies into the embrace of the beautiful woman.

 The girl blinked as she saw Falkmar land on the beautiful woman's thigh. She stepped closer and glanced at him with curious eyes.

 Right now, Falkmar could see her clearly. She has doll-like facial features that perfectly match her girl temperant with whole black hair. Her face is youthful unlike the beautiful woman, the beautiful woman's face is aloof but elegant.

 "Hojek wourle?" The naked girl pointed at Falkmar with one finger.

 "Jwoke senazo." The beautiful woman said.

 Their conversation lasted a few seconds. During their conversation, the naked girl seems getting more interested in Falkmar and even steps closer and sniffs him.

 Falkmar blushes more deeply. As the naked girl steps closer, he looks at the other side and uses his hands to cover his crotch. After all, this naked girl had a good figure but the gradient blue and black hair woman was better.

 Perhaps the beautiful woman sensed Falkmar's cheeks were red and hot so she pushed the naked girl away gently and told her to do something.

 "Wowig..." The naked girl said in frustration.

 Her expression was sad but turn around and left. She immediately disappears into this corridor making Falkmar's eyes widen with shock.

 "Flash step???" Falkmar shouted in mind.

 "Sudei opinkwo warius." The beautiful woman rose and said.

 As the beautiful woman spoke and rose, Falkmar rose and stood before her. Just when Falkmar guessing what the beautiful woman said.

 "Gruu!"

 A sudden yell from the spider swarm sounded in the corridor. Every spider stretched out two forefeet and swayed in the air as if celebrating.

 The current scene feels like the birth of a queen's child, and the people are celebrating him. Falkmar, observing the spiders reveling at this moment, is uncertain about what emotion he should feel.

 "This world is... pretty weird..." Falkmar whispered.

 Soon, the beautiful woman swayed her arm, and those spiders stopped to celebrate some went to other areas of the ruined palace and some went back to their nest but gazing at Falkmar.

 At this moment the girl returns with the black dress, black high heels, and a thick book. She runs quickly towards us with a happy expression.

 The beautiful woman holds my hand as we walk down the stairs together. The girl stops before a statue and sits down waiting for us.

 At this moment, the beautiful woman extended her hand and pointed at the girl, indicating to Falkmar to go there. After that, she walks away, heading towards the pieces of the ruined.

 "Alright." Falkmar whispered.

 As I go next to the girl, she gives me the thick book happily. Falkmar looked at the book, then opened it, and many papers fell out. He quickly bends down to get those papers.

 The papers contain many incomprehensible words and graphics, while the book seems to be a dictionary filled with numerous words.

 Click... Click... Click...

 At this moment, the sound of high heels comes to mind from behind. When Falkmar turns his head back, the scene makes him begin to tremble slightly.

 The beautiful woman returns with a piece of ruined block, it is square and the size of a table. It's not that big but also obviously not carriable for a man, even if he is muscular. However, the beautiful woman did it and even raised it over her head.

 "How was that even possible..." Falkmar stunned.

 Bong!

 She places the piece of ruined block on the ground. The piece of ruined block lands heavily on the ground and makes a huge sound echo in the corridor.

 Falkmar took a hard gulp, the hand holding the book was trembling slightly. The beautiful woman sits down on the ground and gestures to indicate Falkmar to sit down.

 As he sits down he places the book on the ruined block. Right now, Falkmar also knows that they are going to teach him the language here.

 Falkmar sighed but had no choice and also he was astonished by the scene that which the beautiful woman carried the ruined block.

 "If I were disobedient, would she slap me? If she did, I'd probably die..." Falkmar said in mind.

 He can only accept his fate and he knows this will take a long time.

 Just like this, one year passed...

 This world also has spring, summer, autumn, and winter. He is also familiar with the roads and areas of this ruined palace. Now, he will not get lost again.

 Two years passed...

 He sat by the entrance to the ruined palace and read the dictionary. It was drizzling outside and the drizzle and sunshine looked very comfortable in the forest.

 As for language, he already has basic speaking skills. Falkmar can talk with the beautiful woman, her name is Finty Amon, and the other girl is called Moty Amon.

 Three years passed...

 Finty and Moty finally know that Falkmar is from another world and give him a new name, Saze Roker. 

 Right now, Saze lying on the giant spider's back and watching the sky. There is a big eye-like rune in the sky, that's not the sun that is the eye rune of the day. 

 This world had arcane magic, when Finty said she would teach Saze an arcane he was excited that couldn't even sleep.

 Four years passed...

 Saze is now confident in their language skills and has no trouble communicating with others. Reading in the past few years has made him feel very depressed, but now it is replaced by happiness.

 Saze's strongest arcane is the wind arcane and may evolve into strong wind, gale, and even hurricane in the future.

 At night, he will lie on the top of the mansion because it is the best spot to gaze at the starry sky. There was a big eye-like rune, that was not the moon that was the eye rune of the night.

 However, in these four years, he hasn't gone out of this forest. Staying here for many years gave him the desire to go out to the forest.
