"Say…would you mate with me? " Irrel said in a calm voice but Kouta just looked at her too shocked to answer, they eyes never leaving each other as Irrel slowly leaned down closer to his face, “Why are you not saying anything?” Hearing her voice so weak and vulnerable Kouta began to speak, “I...I just...I think it would..." Before he could finish his sentence a group of eight Order archers emerged from the forest five hundred meters away from Kouta and Irrel.

'You've got to be fucking kidding me!' Kouta thought in panic, he quickly rolled Irrel off him and grabbed his bag, Irrel hit the ground with a loud thud, she quickly sat up and glared at him, "What the hell are you doing?!" She asked clearly pissed off, Kouta just grabbed her hand, pulled her up and started to run away from the archers, it wasn't long before arrows were fired in they direction, still holding Irrel by her hand Kouta run at full speed.

In the distance they saw a cave entrance in the giant mountain, 'Better than nothing.' Kouta thought, after few minutes of running they were at the entrance, then an arrow pierced his right leg bellow his knee, Kouta screamed in pain and stumbled forward, fortunately Irrel catch him before he hit the floor, the arrow didn't went fully through, the tip is sticking out from his leg and blood is pouring out from the wound, Irrel took him deeper inside the cave  .

 The inside of the cave was dry and had only two possible ways to go, there was a large corridor in straight line with the entrance and there is also smaller one on the right side of the cave in the corner, Irrel decided to take the right route, after few meters of walking straight they turned left and sat on the ground, she tensed hearing archers at the entrance, they stopped suddenly, "Let's go back, they won’t leave this cave without being seen." One of them said, not long after the rest of them walked out.

 Irrel sighed in relieve and turned toward Kouta who was holding his wounded leg, Irrel looked at his leg, "Don't move and try not to scream." She said calmly, he nodded and watched as Irrel moved her hands closer to the arrow, he knew what she was about to do so he closed his mouth tightly and placed both of his hands on his mouth, Irrel break off the back of the arrow, the sudden move of wood in his muscles caused him to scream and tears to pour out from his eyes, thankfully the hands placed on his mouth muffled the scream.

 Slowly Irrel began to pull out the arrow through the front of his leg causing even more tears to roll down his cheeks, when the arrow was out Irrel looked through the contest of Kouta bag, finally she found a bandages, she pulled up his pants right leg and wrapped the wound tight enough to not stop the blood in his veins, "That should do for now, can you stand up?" She asked worried that the arrow did more damage than it looked like, Kouta smiled slightly and nodded, "I think I can." Irrel helped him stand up, "Thanks Irrel...for everything."

 A small smile appeared on her face, "Don't mention it, we should get back to the entrance and take the turn into the wider corridor, they can still be waiting outside." Kouta nodded, Irrel offered her shoulder for support and Kouta gladly accepted, as they were expecting outside the cave The Order archers break up a camp, "They are a real pain in the ass, let's go." Kouta said and moved toward the large corridor, the corridor were like a snake turning left then right several times.

 After what felt like hours they arrived to the enormous cave filled with gold, the room was illuminated by a crystals hanging down from the ceiling basking everything in a light blue glow, Kouta looked in amazement at the treasures, "I never saw so much gold in my entire life." He said with excitement in his voice but after a while he froze in place, 'Wait...but there wasn't any traps...' He thought, focusing on the large pile of gold at the end of the room his eyes went wide from shock.

 "Irrel...we must get away from here." He said very quiet, Irrel looked around confused and finally realized the gold slowly moving up and down, "Is that...a dragon?" Nodding Kouta confirmed her fears, they slowly backed away to the entrance but fate wasn't kind to them, backing away Irrel knocked a small golden statue with her toe making a lot of noise, the golden mountain suddenly stopped moving,then it jumped out from the pile of gold, a giant beast half the size of this cave.

 The lion-like creature with long and thick black fur faced them, its body is bulky considering how normal lions looks like, around its neck was a very long white mane and on its forehead were two segmented horns pointed upward and bend forward, its long tail resemble that of a wolf, its paws are like that of a dragon and are covered in much more thicker fur than that on its body, it have glowing red eyes and a long scar going vertical across its right eye.

 It opened its mouth and let out a powerful roar, Kouta rushed forward and picked up a simple-looking golden longsword, he pointed it at the beast, it looked curiously at him and bared it very sharp teeth, "Irrel...go to the exit." She immediately looked at him, "But..." He shook his head before she could finish, "Just go, I will be fine." She wasn't sure what to do, even is she don't love him he helped her, seeing her conflicted expression he sighed.

 "Go Irrel I will distract it...I won't die." He said in a very calm voice considering the situation they are in, not trusting her voice she just nodded and run to the entrance, upon making sure she was safe Kouta looked at the beast then at his leg, 'It's no good, if that would be dragon then I would have a chance to walk away without fight...unfortunately it seems like that creature isn't under influence of Demon Lord...fuck, it will be too hard to move quickly with that wound.' He thought and rolled backward just in time to see a paw of the beast slamming into the place he was standing before.

 Kouta rushed forward and slashed at its left paw but the sword bounced off from the fur, 'What the hell?!' Thought Kouta in panic, he quickly recovered seeing the beast swinging its right paw in his direction, he ducked under the paw and run under the beast, Kouta slashed at its stomach creating a small cut under the fur, this however only caused beast to groan lightly and jump away from Kouta, the beast opened its mouth and white particles of energy began to form a sphere inside its mouth.

<p class="MsoNormal"> "Ice magic?! Are you fucking kidding me!" Kouta quickly hided behind the pile of gold leaning his back against it, few seconds later the beast released the sphere in the direction of Kouta, the sphere hit the pile of gold at abnormal speed freezing everything in its path, feeling the cold at his back Kouta stepped out from his hiding and once more rushed at the beast, it tried to pierce him with its rock-like claws but Kouta moved aside causing its clawed paw to slam into the gold, before it could take its paw back Kouta jumped onto it and run up the length of it.

<p class="MsoNormal"> He run onto its shoulder and slashed at it causing the creature to groan, it shook violently trying to throw Kouta off it but he grabbed its fur and continued to slash at its skin but all he could do was to leave a small wounds no matter how many strength he used, after few seconds the beast had enough of it, it let out a extremely loud roar forcing Kouta to cover his ears but it was opening the beast needed, it shook with even more force than before sending Kouta into the wall, his back connected with the rocky wall and Kouta heard a loud cracking sound and enormous pain went through his body.

<p class="MsoNormal"> He fall down onto the gold filled ground, panting heavily he tried to stand up but the pain forced him onto his knees, suddenly he started to cough blood, Kouta grabbed his side and groaned, "Fuck, I'm sure that few ribs are broken and it must damage some important organ." He said to himself with pain staining his voice, he looked at the beast slowly walking toward him with barred teeth and growl coming out from its mouth.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Kouta looked at his right hand and sighed, 'If Mimiru would be here she would certainly scold me for even thinking about using this, its my last hope.' He thought and outstretched his palm toward the beast, focusing on his hand a light blue magic pentagram in a circle appeared, suddenly it grow to the size of Kouta and particles of energy started to form a sphere in front of the symbol, the sphere started to create a pulsing sound as it grow bigger and bigger.

<p class="MsoNormal"> When the sphere was the same size as symbol Kouta smirked, everything seems to slow down to him as he watched the beast jumping at him, exhaling he said only one word before everything went silent, " Frey." As he said thai word a sphere turne d In t o a beam and hit the beast point blank into its head, the beast was send flying into the wall near the entrance causing clouds of dust to rise, he grinned before his vision became blurred and strength left his body, he fall to the ground with a loud thud, his body cut off his control over it except his eyes.

<p class="MsoNormal"> He looked down and saw that the wound on his leg reopened and he was lying in a pool of his own blood, 'Shit...my magic was too unstable to leave me undamaged...at least I get rid off that mons...' He didn't managed to end his thought before he heard a loud growl, with one move of his paw the beast waved the dust away and slowly began to walk toward him.

<p class="MsoNormal"> 'Fuck...looks like this time luck is not on my side.' He thought and watched helplessly as the beast opened its mouth, he noticed that this beast could easily swallow him whole, he felt his consciousness fading as darkness began to crawl onto his eyes, finally he passed out and the last thing he saw was a huge mouth of this savage beast, 'Eos...I'm sorry.'

<p class="MsoNormal"> Kouta opened his eyes and quickly sat up, looking around he found himself in a unfamiliar white room, "So you finally wake up huh?" Kouta looked in the direction of the voice, there he saw a mature woman with long white hair pulled into a ponytail, fair complexion, thin and attractive body and red eyes, she wears white long-sleeved, button up shirt, gray skirt,glasses, black pantyhose and black shoes, overall her look is very formal.

<p class="MsoNormal"> She sits on a white chair by the round white table, on the table was a cup of steaming tea, she took a sip of it and sighed, "You're probably confused as to why you're here and what is this place...correct?" Kouta nodded in answer, she giggled seductively and eyed him from head to toes, "You're in all rights the most attractive man that came here...but let's return to topic, this place is inside of your mind...or rather a place connected to your mind, the reason you were able to come here is your near death."

<p class="MsoNormal"> Kouta immediately paled, "Does that mean...I'm dead?" He barely asked with his voice full of fear, the woman pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed in frustration, "Oh for mother sake I just...calm down Vivinett just calm down, as i said your 'NEAR' death allowed you to be here." The woman now identified as Vivinett said in a frustrated tone, Kouta looked more confused than ever before, "So...what now?" He asked, Vivinett smiled slightly and took another sip of her tea before answering.

<p class="MsoNormal"> "That's a very good question, do you ever noticed why your magic energy was unstable?" Seeing him shaking his head in denial caused her to giggle, "Then I will tell you why." She stand up and started to walk into nothingness, Kouta followed her until she stopped and cut the air before her with her fingertips causing a cloud of dark mist to appear, soon the mist turned into sturdy mahogany doors, Kouta looked at it dumbfounded, "How...how did you?" She just shrugged her shoulders and walked through the door and Kouta followed her.

<p class="MsoNormal"> They arrived at what was most likely library considering hundreds or thousands of bookcases filled with books, as they started to walk Vivinett finally said, "Your powers are incomplete, your magic power will become stable as you get your own Grimoire." Kouta looked at her confused, "Grimoire, what the hell is this?" Hearing his question Vivinett sighed before she started to look around, after few minutes she stopped and took one book from the shelf.

<p class="MsoNormal"> The book has violet leather cover and on the front of the cover is a white circle surrounded by black ivy, inside the circle was embedded a silver pentagram turned upside down placed in a silver ring, the book itself has silver lining along the edges, on the front above the white circle were a golden words, "What is this words Vivinett?" Kouta asked, she smiled and handed him the book, "It's her name, her name is Lilienn Hieri Astral but you can just call her Lilienn."

<p class="MsoNormal"> Kouta looked at her with blank expression, "But...it's a book." Vivinett faked a shocked expression covering her mouth with one hand, "Unbelievable, you noticed it's a book." Kouta groaned at her, "Sarcasm don't makes you any more attractive." He said with irritation clearly present in his voice, she started to laugh, "I think it does, the book you're holding is a Grimoire, a magic book, every great mage have a personal grimoire and she is your Grimoire."

<p class="MsoNormal"> Kouta looked at the book in amazement gently tracing the cover with his fingertips, "It's beautiful...but why are you reffering to it as 'she'?" Vivinett giggled slightly sending shivers down his spine, "You will find out soon, when you will left this place your soul will be bound to this book, now go." She said before placing her hand on his chest, before Kouta could react she pushed him and he tipped falling back, he waited to hit the floor but soon realized that he's falling into nothingness.
