As Ace was checking the situation in Nightshire city, he also drew a map of the city because it could help him in the future.

Nightshire city was divided into four regions; southwest, southeast, northwest and northeast.

The southwest part of the city was called the Xaleft district. Most hotels and restaurants were in this area.

Scarlett's house and the city guard's headquarters were also located in this area.

The southeast area was called the Rilt district. This area was always filled with awakeners because trading houses and shops selling weapons and armor were in this area.

The northwest part of the city was called the Zait district.

Young couples or married couples came to this area every day because many romantic places were located in this district, such as parks, lakes or waterfalls.

The northeast area was called the Yalt district. This area was heaven for lonely people because entertainment houses were located in this area.

'With this, I won't get lost later.'

Ace smiled softly as he walked around the city.

After checking the situation in the city, he returned home. He immediately took a bath after arriving home because his body was full of sweat.

'I feel refreshed again.'

He was currently lying on his bed.

He did not put on clothes right away after taking a bath.

No!

He was not naked because a white towel wrapped around his waist.

'Wait! I forgot to give my report to Scarlett.'

He immediately put on his clothes and rushed toward her office.

"Scarlett, it's me, Ace." He said after knocking on the door.

"Come in. The door is not locked." Scarlett's voice rang out from the opposite side of the door.

Ace immediately closed the door after stepping into her office.

Scarlett shifted her gaze from the document in her left hand to Ace. "How is the situation in the city?"

"The situation in the city is good. Everyone is happy." Ace told her what he saw when he was checking the city.

"Good! You can take a rest now." after saying that, she worked again.

Ace immediately sat on the couch and retrieved his map from his space ring. He wanted to remember all areas of the city, so he decided to study the map.

When Scarlett saw him holding a book, she asked curiously, "What book is it?"

Ace turned his head to look at her. "This book? It's ordinary book. I drew a map of this city earlier. I want to remember all areas of the city."

"I see." Scarlett continued working.

The room instantly turned into a dead silence because they were busy. Scarlett was working, while Ace was studying the map of the city.

Time went by quickly, and without realizing it, it had been an hour since Ace was in Scarlett's office.

He had memorized most areas of Nightshire city, so he stored his map in his space ring.

'She is still working.'

He rose to his feet before finally walking closer to her.

Coincidently, Scarlett took a break when he was walking to her. "Huft!"

Ace did not stand in front of her; instead, he stood behind her.

Scarlett's heart was filled with happiness when he wrapped his arms around her neck from behind. "Have you memorized all areas of the city now?"

"No." he gave an honest answer. "But I have memorized all important areas."

"For example?" she inquired.

"For example, all romantic places are located in the Zait district." He almost remembered all areas in the Zait district because there were many romantic places in this place.

"Hehe." She giggled. "It seems like you only remember all places in Zait district."

"Because I plan to go on a date with you in the Zait district." He did not deny it because what she said was right.

"Sure. Let's go on a date the day after tomorrow." She believed she could finish her work tomorrow.

"Good!" Ace smiled softly.

Scarlett lifted her head before finally showing her charming smile.

Ace, who was standing behind her and looking at her dazzling smile, was seduced.

'What a beautiful smile!'

As he was looking at her charming smile, a desire to kiss her suddenly arose.

For this reason, he lifted her pretty face and brought his face closer to hers. Even though he was standing behind her, he could still kiss her tender lips.

Unlike usual, Scarlett did not close her eyes when he pressed his lips against hers.

Maybe because it was his first time kissing her from behind, or perhaps because they were in her office, but at that time, she felt the taste of his kiss was different than usual.

Of course, all his kisses until now felt good, but at that time, his kiss tasted a little unique. It felt so good to the point she could not describe it in words.

After pressing his lips against hers for several seconds, Ace stopped the kiss.

Scarlett immediately showed her charming smile after he broke the kiss, as if she was seducing him with her smile.

"Scarle-" Ace stopped his words halfway when she suddenly rose from her chair.

"Ace, sit here." After rising to her feet, Scarlett told him to sit on her office chair.

Even though he was curious about her actions, he did not say anything and did what he was told.

To his surprise, Scarlett suddenly lifted the armrest and sat on his lap.

The meaning of her actions was clear.

She wanted lovey-dovey with him!

"I know you want to lovey-dovey with me, so I decided to grant your wish." she behaved as if he wanted her to sit on his lap. "How is it? Are you happy now?"

Actually, she was the one who desired lovey-dovey. She was exhausted, and her young boyfriend was next to her, so she suddenly desired to cuddle with him.

She believed cuddling with him would make her happy and make her fatigue disappear.

And what she had guessed was right because half of her tiredness disappeared instantly after she sat on his lap.

"Hehe." Ace chuckled after hearing her words. "Why don't you just be honest with me? We are alone now, so you don't need to lie."

"Ehm!" she cleared her throat. "You suddenly kissed me earlier, so you have to spoil me now."

Ace chuckled again before finally pinching her nose gently. "Sure. I will spoil you now."

Then the duo started teasing each other.

Outside Nightshire city, Western Area.

The residents' farm stretched wide outside Nightshire city. They planted food crops such as rice, vegetables, etc.

The western area was filled with rice fields. The rice fields were as wide as people could see. Even though it was noon, many people were still in the rice fields.

There were currently more than forty farmers in the rice fields. Although the weather was hot, they did not stop working.

"The harvest is good again!" a red-haired farmer, who was about thirty-five years old, said happily.

The name of that farmer was Joe. He had been a farmer since he was in his twenties. He was not an awakener, so he decided to become a farmer.

No!

Actually, all the farmers were not awakeners.

They would have chosen a different job if they were awakeners because an awakener could earn money much easier.

"That's right. I can make my wife and son happy later. Haha." A green-haired farmer, who was about thirty years old, laughed happily.

His name was Theo. Theo and Joe always chatted together during their break time because their rice fields were next to each other.

"Haha. I can also make my wife and daughter happy later." Joe laughed too.

"Haha." They laughed together.

As they were laughing happily, mischievous and ugly creatures rushed toward the rice fields.

Goblin!

Yes, more than thirty goblins suddenly appeared in the rice fields!

These goblins were not normal goblins because they were bigger and taller. Some of them were even five meters tall.

People usually called them Furo goblins, but most people referred to them as Red Goblins because they had red skin.

The red Goblin was stronger than ordinary Goblin because they were born to fight. Not only were they stronger, but they were also more violent.

This was the reason why the Red Goblin was the scariest of all goblins.

"Haha." Like before, Theo and Joe laughed happily.

They still did not realize that more than thirty Red Goblins were attacking people.

"Agghhh…"

"Aggghh…"

"Agghh…"

"Agghh…"

An ear-piercing screech reverberated in the entire area.

Theo and Joe stopped chatting and turned their heads toward the source of the sound.

'Red Goblin?'

Terror overtook their faces when they saw Red Goblins attacking the farmers.

They instantly ran and screamed. "Goblin! There are Red Goblin!"

One by one, the farmers turned their heads toward Theo and Joe.

"Red Goblin!"

"Run! There are Red Goblin!"

"Run!"

Like Theo and Joe, they instantly ran away.

They no longer cared about their rice because their lives were more important.

Even though they had run as fast as they could, but the Red Goblins were still able to catch and attack them.

These farmers were not awakeners, so their running speed was much slower than these goblins.

"Aggh…"

"Agghh…"

"Aghh…"

One by one, these goblins killed the farmers.

In a short amount of time, twenty farmers were killed by the Red Goblins. Even though their friends were killed by these Red Goblins, Theo and Joe did not stop running.

They needed to save their lives and report it to the city guard, so they ran as fast as possible.

'We have finally reached the city.'

Theo and Joe saw the city guards.

"Guard! Red Goblin! There are Red Goblin in the rice fields." Theo and Joe shouted as they ran toward the entrance.
