*The hero's team walks for hours and hours in the east direction expecting to reach the Capital Kingdom as soon as possible*
Timid Heroine: "Are we there yet? I'm exhausted..."
Obvious Hero: "I don't know, all we can see is a field of dry land and nothing else"
Bonus Character: "I'm starting to doubt if such kingdom exist"
Edgy Rival: "We're gonna die in here!! I need some moisture or anything to refresh me!!"
Timid Heroine: "Oh wait, Norean! Don't you have an incantation for water elements? We can use that to drink!"
Obvious Hero: "That's impossible heroine, It will not be permanent if I created it using an incantation and mana."
Bonus Character: "He's right, even when I create something with magic when a certain time passes it will be gone too"
Wryan begs on Norean desperately craving for water, "then that's enough for me!! Let me feel like drinking something even for just a second!!"
Obvious Hero: "I'm also as thirsty as you guys but we need to endure this!!"
Edgy Rival: "I don't even have the energy to get mad... uhh... who cares were all gonna die anyway"
*Delson saw something on the ground at the distance*
Bonus Character: "It's that grass?"
Obvious Hero: "Huh? Where?"
Timid Heroine: "You're right! It's real grass!*
Edgy Rival: " Let's go!! Maybe there's a pond or something!!"
*As they get closer they saw a very small hill*
Bonus Character: "Water... food... finally!"
*They all went up the hill and what they saw below is the Capital Kingdom surrounded by vast green fields with lots of small low-class monsters*
Obvious Hero: "This is it!! The Capital Kingdom!!"
Timid Heroine: "What are we waiting for?"
Edgy Rival: "Wohooo! We're alive!"
*As they get closer to the gate a slime blocks their way but they're just ignoring them like they were nothing and soon they encountered two knights stationed on the gate*
Knight 1: "Stop right there! Where did you all come from?"
Obvious Hero: "We're from the Nearby Kingdom!"
Knight 1: "Nearby Kingdom? That's from a different continent! How did you guys travel here without using carriages?"
Bonus Character: "Some accident happened while we were crossing Serraria Bridge losing our carriages and... some friends
Both Knight: "SERRARIA BRIDGE!!!"
We have to get to the Dark Castle that's why we're travelling"
Both Knight: "DARK CASTLE!!!"
Knight 1: "Tha- That's impossible! No one had ever tried to pass that bridge and even think about going to the Dark Castle! Who are you guys?"
Knight 2: "Huh...? You red hair boy, Aren't you the "obvious hero" everyone was talking about?"
Knight 1: "Oh wait, Now that you mention it. He does look like him"
Obvious Hero: "Yes, I am the obvious hero and here are my friends. We want to save the captured Grand Sorcerers that's why we're having a journey"
Knight 1: "Understood, We will inform the king about your visitation so that he'll send some reinforcements for the invasion"
Edgy Rival: "No no no!! I don't think we need support from the king right now"
Knight 1: "Is that so? All right, enjoy your stay here just approach us if you guys want anything"
Obvious Hero: "Bye! Sir..."
*The knights thought that they refused the offer because having assistance beside them will be just another burden but the truth is they just don't want to lose another precious friend*
Obvious Hero: "Huh? What's happening here?"
*Inside the kingdom are happy citizens dancing around wearing some cultural costumes and lots of designs hanging on their homes. An Apple vendor talks to them*
Apple vendor: "Are you guys here for the festival? There are lots of games and activities to choose from!"
Edgy Rival: "I see!! Since this is a festival why don't we enjoy our time here!!"
Timid Heroine: "We don't have any money left, my bag fell in Serraria Bridge"
Bonus Character: "No way, are you kidding me?"
Obvious Hero: "Uhh... What should we do now? We're broke!!"
Edgy Rival: "I don't know...."
Bonus Character: "Why don't we hunt some slimes trade them into coins then play some games of the festival to earn more!!"
Obvious Hero: "That's a good idea!!"
*and so the hero's team followed the plan. Hunting the slimes they ignored earlier looked for a hunters guild to trade it for coins*
Obvious Hero: "So far, we have 20 silver coins. I think it's enough to play four times? Every game stands says at least five silver coins per person"
Edgy Rival: "I didn't know one slime is only equivalent to one silver coin"
Timid heroine: "Me too. The exchange rate here is very low compare to my kingdom"
Bonus Character: "Well, this is the Capital Kingdom. The population is twice higher than the average number of most kingdoms"
Obvious Hero: "Hey, look at this one! this game is interesting..."
Edgy Rival: "What?"
Game owner: "Welcome! To "Shoot the red target and we will double your money!"
Timid Heroine: "Isn't that like... gambling?"
Obvious Hero: "Pffft, Nah... It's just a game! and the prize is "that"...!
Bonus Character: "So, What's the rules of the game?"
Game owner: "It's simple, I'll give the player a bow and five arrows then he will aim to shoot that red target three times."
Timid Heroine: "That's it? Anywhere on the target counts, right?"
Game owner: "Yes, anywhere on the target. So you guys wants to try?"
Obvious Hero: "You should go first, Delson. Your'e pretty good when using arrows"
Bonus Character: "All right, I'll try my best"
Edgy Rival: "Next, is my turn"
Game owner: "Just 5 silver coins"
Obvious Hero: "Here"
*Delson picks up the bow*
Bonus Character: "Okay, here's the first shot!"
*Delson aims for the red target carefully then fires the arrow but the red target that is not supposed to move dodge the incoming arrow*
Edgy Rival: "Huh?? It move!!"
Timid Heroine: "Isn't that cheating!"
Obvious Hero: "No, its not. The only rule is to shoot the target it doesn't mean it will not move"
Bonus Character: "Interesting"
*After another four tries not even a single arrow touch the red target. Soon, everyone tries to play the game but no one achieved victory. Their back to square one.*
