21 Most Beautiful Things Can't Be Touched They are felt.

I woke up early in the morning and Halona was nowhere to be found. I thought that after saying that bullshit she actually might have left but I was wrong she was probably skinning a deer-like creature that was big enough for us even if we eat it for some days. Hmm looks like she went hunting and why am I relieved so much Oh, I guess it's because of food.

"Good morning Zlatan".

"Good morning Halona".

"So I guess this must be our breakfast" Her lips formed a small smile while I mentioned that this was our breakfast.

"Yes, Zlatan I think it is essential for you as you are camping for the first time."

"Why do you think that I am camping for the first time?"

"Because no sane man would camp in the forest at night while sleeping under these beluga trees."

"Beluga trees?"

"Yes, these trees are called Beluga trees which is the best place for the nest of meat-eating ants and yesterday I was injured and fatigue took me over so I slipped this small detail, but your enchanted tents are pretty nice it kept us safe all night."

'Shit how can I know this detail this was not in the books of the library, but I have to bullshit her'.

"Hmm but my tents are enchanted so I don't have to worry about them."

"Yes, I believe you, Zlatan" This is the first time where a woman is listening to me while I am doing zero efforts to convince her. Is–Is this a dream no this is real. I must at least behave with her good.

"Okay now, Halona won't you teach me how to clean the meat".

"You want me to teach you to clean this meat".

"Yes"

"But why? you know I will travel with you so you don't have to do this kind of thing".

"I will feel bad if you do all the work first you did the hunting, cleaning the meat and after that cooking so I was thinking that I could be some help." I started to fidget as this was my first time asking for help from a mature woman.

"Heh, Zlatan you look quite cute when you are embarrassed."

"Hmph, says the woman who wants to marry me."

"Zlatan I wanna ask do you humans know the three legends of this world".

"No, I don't know if somebody others know I can't tell that".

" They are three ancient dungeons based on this {Money, Wisdom, Strength.}"

"So what of it"?

"I have shared that there are three different rings located in three different realms and the first one is in Nephilim realm."

"What does the ring do?"

"It is said that the ring would provide control over the said elements which they belong to."

"Hmm, where do you read it"?

"It was a book in our secret hall of knowledge where I infiltrated it because I was bored."

"So what do you think we should do Zlatan".

"Are you dumb"?

"Huh".

"You nearly died from a troll assault and you were just on your deathbed one day ago and now you want to adventure, wait for at least two years we will train here and then we will raid that dungeon present in this realm."

Timeskip–(2 Years later)

I learned all kinds of knowledge from Halona as she had experience in living in the wilderness. I properly learned to cook meat even poisonous meat. I also learned to clean the meat at first it was a hassle but now it was easy. I nearly towered at the same height as Halona and my body was now more ripped as I started to learn the orc martial arts.

I also train with my Phobos from time to time at night near the lake and Halona gives me privacy which I respect and adore the most as she never asks me where I go at night.

She started training my body as my body had more energy but my foundation was not strong. So we would spare every day and train to the extreme. Now we were currently in the middle of hunting.

"Halona did you find any prey"

"Yes, Zlatan I can hear some footsteps, here it comes now Zlatan".

"yes". Hell yeah, today I got another shot. It was a creature that was a mix of boar and a deer. Halona said that its name was Baba Tunde.

In these two years, we had become from mere strangers to best friends to whom you could trust your back during a war. We continuously talk to each other all the time as there was no other person around so we have also developed a lot emotionally.

"Zlatan I want to say you something and it is the most important secret of my life."

"Ok, I am listening".

HALONA POV

"You know Zlatan I am the ugliest orc in our clan."

"But you know you are–".

"Please let me say everything, Zlatan".

"okay".

"I was bullied and discriminated from an early age in our village and my own family abandoned me. When I started showing my espionage every orc wanted my help but I can see their real faces behind their masks."

"Due to not getting any love from my race, I started researching about other races and humans were the most which intrigued to me."

"But all I got was a letdown from them until I met you that day."

"So do you also think that I am ugly Zlatan"?
