Fox in an inverted world

Did you ever imagine ... What would happen if the roles of men and women were reversed? That it is women who persecute men? Wouldn't this be every man's dream?

Chapter 86: Everybody has a story

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, Arthur and Elias continued to explore the second level, without finding the entrance to the next level and due to time the other hunters began to enter this level, causing another war between humanity and the monsters, but unlike the other level, the monsters were stronger, due to so many flying objects and that the human hunters faced the monsters recklessly, the latter gradually lost the fear that Akagi and Arthur had been emitting in the latter anus.

The humans were weak and Wunder was unable to compete against Akagi, so they lost each battle against the monsters, likewise, the monsters began to fly again, since none of these humans had the power to damage them, causing a massacre in the hunters. humans...

(Why can't we find the next door?)

Elias's expression is dark, the more time he spent in this Secret Kingdom, the more dangerous it is for him, the number of people from the government and large families waiting in the real world would get bigger and bigger.

However no matter how much he searched, he could not find the trail of the gate, although this jungle was extensive with a size of about a small country, the amount of land was immense and the exploration required time ...

Every day there were more hunters and Elias's patience was running out.

"..."

Arthur said nothing and watched in silence, during the time he spent with Elias, he already understood his character and also the anxiety that he felt before disappeared.

"Let's finish the day, we'll continue tomorrow .."

"Good..."

With the false sky of the Secret Realm losing its light, Elias called it a day, they had been flying all day and their magic power was insufficient to continue, they needed to rest.

Unfortunately, the next day passed and nothing had changed, the entrance to the next level still did not appear, this only made Elias's expression sink even more...

Day four was the same, even without progress and to maximize his progress, Elias began to pay attention to the hunters, he no longer cared if someone else found the entrance to the next level, the only thing that mattered now is to go through the next level, unfortunately, the Hunters were too busy hiding from monsters, to search for the next door.

"Something is wrong! There must be a clue somewhere! ..."

After finishing the search on day eight, Elias and Arthur returned to their hiding place, as they needed to rest from the monsters, their hiding place was underground, an artificially created tunnel, for exclusive use.

At this moment the sky was off and Elias was reading intensely the holographic screen, where a file with the geography and writings of the last human explorer.

According to this legend, the entrance to the next level was deep in the forest, the location was unknown but it was not a Pyramid, on the contrary, it was a statue of a bird-type monster from this Secret Kingdom and quite possibly the statue was in the nest of this bird, but until now there were no traces of bird-type monsters, not to mention the statue ...

The days passed and this was wearing out Elias' patience, he even thought that he had misread the historical record and began to seriously study it in the hope of finding a clue.

Arthur didn't say anything, he was cooking something light, using meat from a turtle, although fire can attract monsters and human hunters, Arthur doesn't care, he just sealed the tunnel entrance and applied optical cloaking, and began to purify the air. to avoid the aftermath of smoke.

* Gulp.

"It looks delicious, as expected from my husband ..."

"It's not for you..."

Akagi's saliva almost spilled, at the moment she was in his chibi version and her eyes lit up when she saw and smelt the turtle soup, during these four years he had gotten used to eating the food prepared by Arthur, so she wanted to materialize and eat, unfortunately, Arthur looked at her once and it was enough for Akagi to cringe depressed ...

With Elias next to them, Akagi was forbidden to show herself, he worked hard to gain Elia's trust and if Akagi shows up it was a mistake ...

"Mister Elias you must eat, you must take a break ..."

Pouring a cup, Elias massaged his tired forehead and thanked ...

"Thanks, Liam ..."

Elias knew that Arthur was right and wanted to skip dinner, however seeing how hard Arthur had worked making it and also the delicious smell that this soup emitted, Elias's stomach began to growl ...

"Hm? Not bad, you have a talent for this ..."

Elias throughout his life has tasted many delicacies from different professional and renowned chefs, so his palate was quite demanding, a homemade meal rarely raises his appetite, however, Arthur's soup was above average, it could not be compared With the professional chefs, however, it was pretty good to be prepared by a 12-year-old.

This made curiosity about Arthur's background increase, not a single spoiled child from a super family would learn to cook, especially someone like Arthur, whoever could prepare a decent meal was already a miracle ...

"Thank you, you can eat all you want ..."

Arthur was aware of his abilities, they weren't good, but they weren't bad either, unfortunately, the chickens became extinct so their food wasn't that tasty ...

"Mister Elias, will we continue exploring?"

8 days had passed and Arthur was worried that the Secret Kingdom would close its borders, but at Arthur's question, Elias fell silent ...

He was aware of the dangers and knew that if it weren't for Arthur and his optical cover-up, they wouldn't be so relaxed looking for the door, quite possibly he would be fighting for his life instead of looking for the door in a relaxed way...

"Every time this area becomes chaotic, moreover the army is yet to arrive, your duties as a scout are finished, correct? ...."

The humans in the first level were successful in exterminating the monsters, although they suffered casualties, they were not so severe because they could apply appropriate strategies and now they were climbing the pyramid to reach this level, which worried Elias more since with the arrival of the army, their movements would be limited and this area will become a massive war zone ...

"..."

Seeing that Elias did not speak, Arthur sighed, this subject was not willing to give up and was not afraid of danger ...

"Big brother, be honest ... You are not a scout correct? What are you looking for in this Secret Realm?"

It was obvious that Elias was not a hunter or explorer-like the rest of the Wunder users, Elias had a personal goal for him ...

"If you trust me, I can help you ..."

"..."

Hearing this, Elias couldn't help but look at Arthur ...

When was the last time someone offered to help you? Elias didn't remember, but it was years ago and it was his late wife who always helped him ...

The days passed and each day was more difficult, as much as Elias does not want to admit it, if it were not for Arthur's help, he may not have been able to enter this level, this child is very smart always one step ahead, taking care of his back...

Elias did not trust anyone, but his guard around this child was on the ground, he simply had no reason to doubt him, besides that he felt an inexplicable emotional attachment towards this child ...

"Me..."

Elias's mouth trembled, but at this point he knew that doing it alone is impossible, being in this Secret Realm is too dangerous, he felt powerless and every day that passed he lost his confidence in himself, he hated himself for not being stronger, but a part of him was prompting him to quit ...

"Me..."

Elias wanted to say it, these feelings about his wife and son, his pain.

But Arthur is a child, he did not want to put such a burden on someone strange and special on someone so young, the responsibilities of an adult are something that only adults should assume.

"Were they that important to you?"

"...!?"

Arthur did not have to be a genius to know that Elias was doing it for someone, Elías at this time had the same expression that people had when they knew that his loved one no longer had a long time to live.

As a doctor in his past life, he had seen too much in the hospital, to know that this person that Elias lost was special ...

"Yes, they are very important ..."

"So I'm all ears"

"It's a very long history..."

"We have all the time, so you can start ..."

Spurred on by Arthur's words, Elias decided, to be honest, maybe it's because Arthur is still a child or maybe because he was looking to vent, Elias told his story ...

(Everybody has a story ...)

Sighing Arthur shook his head, no matter what world you are in, there will always be problems and human greed will be the same.

But although Elias's story was very sad, his plan to bring his family to life was very crazy. By simple legend, this man went so far even to challenge this Secret Realm.

"It's crazy, but if there's hope, I'll do whatever it takes to bring my family back ..."

"...."

Love sucks, create stupid and blind people, Arthur wasted a lifetime looking for something stupid, however even though Arthur did not believe in this abstract thing called 'Love', he could not say a single word to refute his senseless actions And stupid of Elias, he had no right to do so and he had no reason to stop him.

"Sorry about this, I kept you awake ..."

Smiling in apology, it must have been boring to listen to him, although Arthur did not say anything he knew that this child must have been boring to listen to him, children do not want to hear sad stories, they want stories about heroes, because of that I do not doubt, his sleeping capsule was opened and continued.

"You should also sleep, tomorrow will be another long day ..."

"Goodnight..."

---------------

With Elias entering his capsule, Arthur seized the moment and spoke.

"Akagi, is there such a wish-fulfilling Artifact?"

But with everything Elias told him, Arthur doubted a bit, if there is such an Artifact, he has been in this Secret Realm for a total of 4 years and has never encountered anything like it.

"No, the only Artifact here is me ..."

Akagi shook her head, even for a World Artifact, being able to fulfill any wish is impossible, for example, if that person his wish is eternal life, a World Artifact even though it can change the concepts of the world, eternity is something unheard of, likewise is Elias, revive the dead, bring back a soul that has dispersed in the world, go against the concept of life and death, although necromancers are capable of reviving corpses, they cannot bring back The soul of a person, a scattered soul cannot be restored and because of the story of Elias, the soul of son and wife, has long since been dispersed, it was impossible to save them unless they can travel through time...

(Maybe ... I can do it?)

Thus remembering his fourth innate ability, Arthur wanted to test it, but he dismissed the idea as time travel brings consequences, which even Level Upper cannot calculate.

"But even so, that legend is very suspicious."

"Hmmm"

Akagi also thought, she does not remember that a human entered this Secret Realm a thousand years ago, the information about the Secret Realm was too detailed to be invented ...

(Could it be her?)

But suddenly a memory flashed in his software and Akagi's expression turned pale, it was a dark past that Akagi wishes to bury in her soul and never revive ...

"Do you remember something? There is something in your memory bank ..."

"No, nothing"

That Arthur suddenly asked him almost made Akagi jump in shock, fortunately, she is a machine and I control her emotions very well and I do not let Arthur suspect, although the latter narrowed his eyes, he did not trust her words ...
