The Epic of Zektbach

[hd25]

Maybe it's in EMPRESS... it's supposed to be released in a couple of weeks.

[Alpha Type 11]

Didn't they do Die Zauberflöte together already? The title can be translated as The Maguc Flute; maybe it ties in with the story...

Personally I'm hoping for a new song...

[D.J.JSRF]

Zektbach broke his words.

Nothing really happened this week.Even more,he updated an old chapter again.

Words could not describe how angry I am now.

[RetroGamer01]

Well, that sucks...

On the plus side, "Ristaccia Ruins" still sounds incredible, despite the fact I got the mp3 from TOMOSUKE's blog, like, a month ago.

Here's hoping the next Story update is an excerpt from Turii's chapter, especially since EMPRESS will come out right around the time the update happens.

[Metra]

Want that MP3 so much. I think it's cool how IDM becomes Shamshir no Mai. I'd like a new Ristaccia remix, please, and moar chapters.

Now that I'm seeing... At Prologue, the date is 350 B.C.. Before Christ? Now that's something bizarre.

Also, I'm a noob -- can anyone send me TOMOSUKE's blog link?

[VJ Tangeline]

Well, what about Nyoah's log? I *tried* to translate it with Google Translate and interpret it as best I could, and it mentioned something farther down the page about a mysterious plant causing sickness...

[D.J.JSRF]

Well.

The fist subject is about 閣下(Asaki)'s sick looking graffiti.One day,Zektbach lost his wallet.In order to help him out,as his best friend,閣下 sent him a drawing of Shamshir and asked him to sell it for money.閣下 considered it to be a great work,but of course,no one recognized it as a drawing of Shamshir.

Finally,Zektbach sold it for 4200G.An unexpected value for everyone though.

The second subject is about magic.Zektbach said that magic is not common in humina world.But it is said that one would get the power of magic only if he can get into the Ristaccia Ruins and get irradiated by the light of that strange slab.But after that,his life expectancy will be extremely cut short.

Zektbach also mentioned that there was a mysterious group which were doing the research of magical power.

But of course,they were all dead now.

The third subject is about pollinosis.Zektbach said that "pollinosis" was called "the trick of flowers" in the holy kindom.

A famous royal doctor had found that if one eats a special kind of herb,he will be free from pollinosis.But after some research,he discovered that the herb didn't have the power to cure pollinosis.The fact is that the herb have some kind of parasite lived on it,and the parasite did protect human from pollinosis.

But however,if you hate pollinosis,you'd better eat the herb.

That's all.

[Metra]

The first subject made me lol. Very cute for Zektbach and Asaki.

The second subject is interesting to the epic. So magic isn't common, huh? Awesome. I wonder who researched the magical power.

And the third made me think: "Wait, isn't Asaki allergic to pollen?". More lols.

Thanks a lot, D.J.JSRF.

[D.J.JSRF]

Don't mention it

Then,what should I do next?

There's still a few chapters left undone:

I'm a lazy man.So if you don't request,I'm not going to do anything

[Metra]

[RetroGamer01]

I agree with Metra, 1-1-1 please D.J.JSRF!

Chapter 1-1-1

<Her Name Is Shamshir>


The Kingdom Of Azuelgatt,in the east of the continent,was newly established about 150 years ago by the eastern ethnic group "Asem".

Several years ago,all of a sudden,The Holy Kingdom Of Noigllado had made their invading armies rushed into Azuelgatt.Certainly,Azuelgatt did not have the power to resist against the invading of the most powerful country on the continent.The defending force had to keep their hard struggling when they were lack of munition.But after frequent failures,they were now pushed to the east line of Latakia Dunes,having their back to the wall.

The Fortress Of Doroah,the last and the only strongpoint left for them to protect The Capital City Isfaphan.There,the defending force were all in the charge of a young female general.

Her name is "Shamshir",the last hope for Azuelgatt.


Shamshir was born in Amuss,a city to the south of Isfaphan.

Her father is Shaldile,the commander in chief of the kingdom army.Her mother is Khukuri,a world-class famous dancer.Borned in such an outstanding family,Shamshir sure had the condition to master both swordsmanship and dancing.More,she really had some natural talent for both fields.She combined her father's swordsmanship with her mother's dance,and then created her unique "Battle Dance",a beautiful and deadly skill that make her nearly invincible in close combat.And even more,she is a skilled archer too.That is to say,she is an all-around talented warrior.The whole continent was deeply impressed by her superior strength and her gorgeous battle dance.

At that time,she was only 15 years old.Then,she was appointed as a commander of the army by her father.

But that time,the whole continent is at peace.The army was never going to fight,but playing a role as police.Therefore,Shamshir began to feel bored in the army.She always wanted to challenge the strong.

One day,Shamshir was ordered to exterminate the bandit group which had committed many illegal acts around Pananora.When she met the bandit leader,she heard some interesting rumor.

"Hey,I see.Your eyes is telling me that you are so eager for strength.You were so tired of that boring army,right?"

With sinister smile,the arrested bandit leader said.

"Let me tell you a good thing.Do you know that Assia Sand Cave?It lies to the south of Amuss.It is said that an uncommon treasure was sleeping inside there and waited for someone to awaken it.That's a scimitar.A powerful,mysterious scimitar.If you can have it...well,find it first,only if you can!Gahahahaha!!..."

Shamshir considered it as a jape at first,but the words bothered her all along.

"Everyday is so boring...It's better to go and check it out.Much better than wasting time here."

The next day,Shamshir had disappeared from everyone's sight.


"Shamshir,why did you go away?Where did you go?"

Shaldile felt very discouraged about that.

"Maybe,that's all my fault.She is still too young to be appointed as a commander."

As a good father,he did not blame on his daughter's,but had a self-examination instead.

However,after a long while,Shamshir still didnt' come back.

Finally,she showed her face in front of Shaldile,right when he was at the end of his tether.

"Father,please don't worry.Leave it all to me."

Before Shaldile opened his mouth,Shamshir immediately asked him to appoint her as the chief commander of Doroah Fortress.

Without any words,Shaldile just noded.


General Adnowell,the commander in chief of the holy knightage,had already embattled his 40000 battalions before the frontline of Doroah.He had already heard from the scout that Doroah Fortress was in the charge of Shamshir right now.

As a commander and a knight,he knew Shamshir very well.In order to play for safety,he used the 'Testudo' formation,an excellent defensive formation,although there's only 4000 soldiers in the fortress.

"Shamshir,in spite of you are as powerful as the god of war,you will be powerless before my 40000 elites."

Gazing upon the fortress,Adnowell began to feel sad.Just like Shamshir,he also liked to challenge the strong.

"Today,one of the strongest warriors in this world will be gone.The biggest pity."

Thinking so,Adnowell gave the order to attack,in his stentorian voice.

(to be countinued)

PS:

The title of Chapter 2-5-4 should be <The Transcendal Intelligence And Might>.

[RetroGamer01]

Awesome! Thanks D.J.JSRF!

It's amazing how powerful Shamshir was at such a young age. It's no wonder she can wipe the entire Kingdom of Azuelgatt single handedly...

(OMG SPOILERS! ONOES! )
