Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

The moment I escaped back, all my dreams had long been thrown far away.

They had already died in some unknown corner of the world long ago.

Can dreams really die?

Aki Tomo didn't know either, but he felt that the word really fit the current situation.

I am not some outstanding talent, nor do I possess any remarkable abilities, let alone the ability to achieve instant fame and make everyone cheer for me.

He's just an ordinary person, an unremarkable game enthusiast.

It's nothing special; it would be completely inconspicuous in a crowd.

Even his current disheveled state after escaping from Tokyo is something that happens all the time.

The world's best visual novel? That's something I can't even dream of.

Squatting on the ground, Aki Tomoya cried silently for a long time.

Some time later, someone saw Aki Tomoya working at a nearby company.

Although the salary is not high, it is relatively stable.

Furthermore, during the conversation, Aki Tomoya no longer had the neurotic demeanor he used to have, and appeared very calm and composed.

This surprised many students.

That's good, Aki Tomoya has finally grown up.

Many people expressed this sentiment.

To grow?

Maybe.

So-called growth may mean giving up some of your dreams and giving up those colorful things.

Perhaps this is what it takes to become an adult.

Aki Tomoya, who always talked about games and anime, quietly faded away without anyone noticing.

Although I sometimes play games and watch anime in my spare time, my once somewhat famous blog has long since stopped being updated.

Aki Tomoya has never mentioned anime and games in public again.

Adults should be more mature.

Only when he is alone in the quiet of the night does Aki Tomoya occasionally think about his original dream.

It feels like something very distant, dreamlike, and unrealistic.

Chapter 1060 Tara: How about we sleep for decades?

Outside Aki Tomoya's room, Rozen's figure flashed by.

When they reappeared, they had returned to their base in Tokyo.

For Aki Tomoya, this ending might not be so bad.

When he removed the mask, Luo Zhen also took out some other things from his body.

If I had to pinpoint it, it would probably be his unique constitution that attracts unusual events and creatures.

In more mystical terms, it's about special physical constitution, bloodline factors, and so on.

To put it simply, that talent has been taken away.

Well, it's hard to say whether this can be considered talent.

It wouldn't matter if it were someone with great strength.

But for ordinary people, this constitution is undoubtedly a disaster.

It's like a descendant of a family that exorcises demons and monsters, who has learned a whole set of skills, but because he has a pure yang body, he always scares away the evil spirits, so he can't use his skills at all.

Originally, Luo Zhen simply wanted to take off the mask, but the moment he did, he suddenly felt that he could do something else.

So I gave it a try.

I didn't expect to succeed on the first try; it went very smoothly.

It did not have the slightest impact on Aki Tomoya's health.

It was as if his body was also rejecting this talent, eagerly wanting to get rid of this heavy burden.

This is probably a good thing for Aki Tomoya.

At least for the rest of my life, I won't have to worry about suddenly bumping into all sorts of strange things.

I can go to work with peace of mind and live a peaceful life.

This is what he hopes for now.

The moment he realized he wasn't a genius, but just an ordinary person.

And so Aki Tomo, who always did unexpected things, disappeared.

It's quite poignant.

At the Tokyo base, Luo Zhen watched as the ghost mask was contained in a containment chamber with unobstructed lighting.

The other two masks remain the same.

So far, a total of three masks have been captured.

They are respectively a mantis-shaped shape, a hunting pincer, and a sharp blade.

They are all types that don't have a high profile.

Among the Ghost Legion, the most memorable is probably the hardworking ninja legion.

And the Shadow Eater Legion that possessed Afu back then.

The latter is due to its special characteristics.

It will continuously devour the shadows of other creatures to grow stronger.

They are as greedy as piranhas.

The differences between the rest of the Ghost Legion are not actually that significant.

It's just that the attack method has changed from claws to pincers or tentacles.

They are essentially the same.

Many character attributes are actually quite repetitive.

For example, the Samurai Order and the Troll Order are both positioned as front-line warriors.

Spiked blades and hunting pincers are actually quite similar.

Although there are some differences in individual strength, the Ghost Legion's strength lies in its terrifying numbers.

In comparison, individual strength does not seem to be very important.

This is true at least when an individual's strength is not overwhelmingly superior.

Meanwhile, in the Shadow Kingdom.

Tara, still shaken, is contemplating life.

He used to be so confident, believing himself to be invincible.

Just be careful not to get tricked by those bugs.

Then reality slapped him hard in the face.

That man almost scattered his ashes.

If I hadn't acted quickly and cleverly, I would probably be that man's prisoner by now, or perhaps even have been swiftly and decisively reduced to ashes.

"hateful......"

Tara frowned, clearly distressed.

The original idea was to collect all nine masks and then regain a physical body to rule this strange world.

As everyone has seen, the result was as follows.

This might be what happens when a startup runs out of budget before it's even halfway through (just kidding).

No, he only took the first step and got hammered back to his hometown.

It seems we still have no choice but to let the humans collect the masks.

For Tara, it didn't matter who collected the masks.

Essentially, these masks are nothing more than seals.

Once the masks scattered around the world are gathered together, the seal will be broken.

The nine ghost generals sealed within will then break free.

Tara will regain her physical body and return to her prime, unleashing ultimate darkness upon the world.

Originally, I planned to collect it myself and obtain its full power as soon as possible to prevent being sealed again like last time.

In the end, we still have to rely on human intervention.

With a thought, a tiny Shadow Eater soldier emerged from the darkness in the human world.

In its initial form, the Shadow Soldier is just a tiny creature, and even looks somewhat cute.

Even if humans discover it, it won't cause too much of a problem.

Although these short-legged creatures are slow runners, it's somewhat of a challenge to use them for intelligence gathering.

But at this point, Tara was extremely cautious.

There was an element of luck in escaping last time, but it's uncertain if they'll be able to get caught this time.

Tara even considered whether she should sleep for decades or even a hundred years, and then reappear after that human died.

After all, it's already incredibly incredible that even one of these terrifying humans could exist.

Tara doesn't believe a second one will appear anytime soon.

If this were to actually happen, the world would be far too terrifying.

However, considering his dignity as the head of the Ghost Kingdom, the plan was temporarily shelved.

Yeah, for now.

Tara had considered causing trouble, scattering all the ghost masks at once to create chaos, and then taking advantage of the situation to fly away.

However, he now only has two ghost masks left, one of which is his own.

On the other hand, Tara always felt that if she did that, she would definitely be killed by that human in the first instance.

He died in a very tragic manner.

He's not just some chaotic, mischievous person who's just looking to cause trouble.

Who the hell enjoys watching the world be engulfed in war?

His goal was to rule the world, not to revel in the ruins and marvel at his own power while looking at a broken world.

This world is so boring.

"Hmm, it can't be too obvious."

"Otherwise, those humans would definitely notice something was wrong."

"We still need to take a long-term approach."

"It would be best if those humans could 'accidentally' discover it or steal it from someone else."

A large face hovered in the air, looking like an anxious person pacing back and forth.

Although he had some sense of the ghostly masks scattered in various places.

But Tara couldn't help but feel anxious.

Fortunately, almost without exception, all humans harbor profound darkness within their hearts.

Even a seemingly gloomy and cowardly office worker is like this.

Tara wasn't worried that the masks wouldn't find suitable recipients.
