Gin: The Great Sorcerer

Third Person's POV

"I'm glad the Great Sorcerer is with us," a woman adventurer said.

"If it weren't for him, our capital is done for," a man speaks as if they're the weakest capital.

"Hush! The prince here," another person warned the two as Goro carrying Koshiro and Hiruki beside him walks to the Guild Master's room.

"He lost the arrogant look he had before, good for him. He wouldn't have this connection with the Guildmaster if it weren't for his status," another guy whispered thinking he wouldn't be heard.

"Gossips is as fast as karma," Hiruki whispered enough for Goro to hear it.

After the two arrived at the room, Goro gently put down Koshiro on the Mini couch and Jolifer came closer.

"Is something wrong with him?" Jolifer asked.

"Overuse of magic. He's still recovering. Good thing he didn't lost any body part of died." Goro's words already gave the answer about what happened.

"So you fought with the guy named Quantom?" Jolifer's brows furrowed.

"No it's him," Goro made way where nothing is and suddenly, Gin appeared.

"You're the rumoured Great Sorcerer, I presume?" Jolifer asked his guard up.

"No need to be cautious, I'm just here for the Crimson Gale user," Gin's words didn't seemed to have a care for Koshiro.

"Can I take a rest?" Hiruki broke the almost freezing environment.

"Why? You're in perfect shape." Goro wondered.

"I need to rest for Recall to work. I might faint like the other time if I use it again," Hiruki said making Jolifer nod and he went to the chair to sleep there.

"You. . ." Goro refrains himself from snapping, "don't regret not giving him a care. Well, you'll surely do, though," Goro gave a cold, piercing eyes.

"I guarantee it," Goro addef back coldly competing with Goro.

"Stop, stop, it's freezing," Jolifer stops them.

"This jerk. . . Acting all cold. I'll make him fall into his knees soon," Goro whispered to himself.

"So, what happened to him? His the Crimson Gale user, isn't he?" Jolifer asked in his natural character.

He has the character with a cigarette in his mouth and has a little patience existing within him. He only seemed to have long patience but it's the opposite, it's because Goro never ticks him off. He has the voice of an experienced man that came from the lowest rank to the top and has experienced hardship every single day.

"That's what I want to know," Gin speaks straight to his thoughts.

"Then look for the answer for yourself," Goro said making Gin snap and it created the tension between them.

"Stop! Take your fight somewhere else, not here." Jolifer slammed the table leaving his hand's mark there colored black like coal. No, it's literally coal. He slammed his hand and couldn't control the heat and accidentally used fire magic, but it seemed to help with the situation.

"Koshiro activated the Crimson Gale without a care about what will happen. Since his lucky, he might not be able to wake up in three days. Because of the spell that this guy used, it's limit became about another day at most." Goro scratched the back of his head, "Oh, before Hiruki uses his magic on you, we have to get Koshiro to get up, we need his permission. That said, even if we have, Hiruki won't probably do it unless it would benefit him or Koshiro," Goro said sighing looking at Gin.

"You talk too much," Gin looked at Goro disgusted.

"Huh?! Now you're talking! This is. . ." Goro stopped when he felt something.

"What's this illusion magic?" Gin asked.

"This is no illusion, Jolifer, he's known as the dimension master, he can change dimensions and worked at the castle when I was a kid. His title is no fluke," Goro stated filled with amazement.

"What about those guys?" Gin's brows furrowed.

"Don't worry they're in good hands. He'll take good care of them. Now, where are we?" Goro chuckled awkwardly.

Gin snapped and they teleported back to the outside of the Guild. What he did was surely amazing, he didn't have to spell out his words. His called the great sorcerer for nothing.

"So, while waiting, will you come with me?" Goro said making Gin looked disgusted.

"Don't get the wrong idea! Only do if it's Koshiro!" Goro added making him look more disgusted.

"I just want to ask something from you. I want you to accomplish a quest. Actually it's been here for over a month now. I can bring Koshiro with me, he might get hurt. If I bring Hiruki, Koshiro won't hesitate to come as well. If I don't do it after a week, the city will be swarmed with Demons from the dark realm via portal." Goro sighed and Gin nodded.

"I'll come," Gin answered making it the only words they said.

"What the hell is this place?" Gin said while the two falls.

The two are currently falling from the infinite sky, a curse made by a great mage from the Neutral Land.

"How do we get out of here?" Gin spoke once more and Goro pointed at a small piece of land floating fit for the two.

Gin teleported him and Goro to that place and suddenly, the land stated to fall, "The curse of gravity, if our body made in contact with a non-living object or being, gravity will pull them." Goro sighed.

"How far do you know?" Gin asked again in his cord tone.

"Our family has a curse. Almost all Knights who are destined to became one of the Ranks have one. My family's curse is about books. The kind of book I was cursed upon is the first book I've read." Goro shrugged then sighed along with it not knowing what to say next.

"We're going inside?" Gin said after realizing they were already at a place where there a door in front.

The door is designed with a giant shield and it has vines growing the the edges to the outside of the shield. The design was well made. The ground they're stepping on is no land, just plain water that holds any being.

After opening the big gate, light that blinds the eyes came out and slowly disappeared after they crossed the door. The door only sent them to another place filled with water like last time but instead of the door, a body of a dead person laid-back.

"Something's weird," Goro stated as I'd somethings off about the picture he sees in his view but he don't seem to know it.

Goro came closer, "if this is a dead body, it would've floated up by now, right?" he questioned himself.

He backed of immediately after realizing what's happening. The trap is the guy lying there dead. All dead bodies could've floated by now which means this one's alive. After realizing it, the corpse moved and stood up shocking the two. The guy is like a zombie. He wears ripped clothes from head-to-toe and his eyes were like a dead fish's and the was moves seemed like he was being controlled.

"How...dare...you!" The guy suddenly attacked Goro and he draw his shield blocking his attacks. He might seemed powerless and can't use magic but his physical strength is high. Goro drew his sword to attack back but the guy is fast.

"Stop!" Goro stopped Gin from casting a spell, "Lightning magic will only kill us."

"It's my magic," Gin gave a reasoning with his cold voice.

"When your magic creates contact with other elements that's around, they combine but it doesn't mean it won't affect you," Goro strictly warned.

Gin summoned fire but he can't seem to hit the enemy in time because of its fast movements. He tries to freeze the water but it was no use, the water itself is magic so he can't freeze it. Wind magic is also futile. Only one hope remains. Gin summoned water magic and the water grabbed his whole body preventing his movements. Goro enhanced his strength and sliced the enemy in pieces and it died after leaving a Alexandrite shaped like a gem.

Koshiro's POV

I woke up realizing that I was unconscious near Hiruki and Goro and another person was beside him. The person behind him no other than my best friend, Gin.

"Ah, Gin!" I called out trying to greet him with a guy but he dodge and Goro ended up catching me and glared at Gin.

"What happened to Hiruki?" I questioned the two.

"He's just asleep," Goro said still angry.

"Good morning," Hiruki greeted as he realized he was eves dropping with our conversation and I replied a smile.

"Anyways, Hiruki and Koshiro seemed fine after sleeping with each other. No reaction at all," Goro stated as if he meant something.

"Of course not. I'm used to sleeping with him. He usually do at my house," I said shocking him and Gin for the reason that I don't know.

"So, can I use it, no?" Hiruki asked and I nodded.

Hiruki touched Gin in his forehead making him resist a little feeling distrust and after being touched in his forehead, he paused for a while and came back to his senses.

"How's that, you damned sorcerer?" Goro arrogantly said very proudly.

"It's Uhm. . ." he paused can't tell whatever he's gonna say, "sorry," he added after for a reason that I don't know for the second time.
