I woke up with the sound of metals clashing to each other.

It's been a year since the battle against bitch goddess ended.

I grabbed the nearest cloth to cover my body.

The temperatures becoming colder.

My breath has also turned white.

The season of celebration had ended

But even so the winter is ongoing .

I calculated the temperatures using my world's mean of measurement.

It was about 9 degrees Celcius.

Just how much will this long season continue.

I scratched my head as i thought.

It's like that there is a storm.

"Naofumi-sama!!"

I heard a familiar voice.

As i turned around i saw who i expected.

"Raphtalia? " (Naofumi)

"Naofumi-sama.. The four weapons are acting weird." (Raphtalia)

"What do you mean by acting weird? " (Naofumi)

"It will be better if you see it yourself. " (Raphtalia)

She immediately grabbed my hand and forced me to run.

What does she mean by acting weird? was a curse activated?

Who knows. The direction were going is to the castle.

"Master!!"

"Ahh... Firo.. What's happening here? " (Naofumi)

"The four weapons are glowing. " (Firo)

"What?!" (Naofumi)

I proceeded to head to the main lobby.

I arrived at the nick of time.

Sadina was just finished checking their weapons.

"What's happening here?" (Naofumi)

"Ohh.. Nao~~Fu~~Mi- Chan.." (Sadina)

I ignored Sadina's advance and rushed to Itsuki who happened to be the hero nearest to me.

I stare at his weapon and it's true that its glowing.

But i don't know why.

"Sadina!" (Naofumi)

"What is it? Nao~~FuMii~~Chaan" (Sadina)

"Geh..."

A seemingly drunk Sadina was approaching to me.

She tried hugging me but i dodged.

She almost lost her balance and fall.

"What are you doing being drunk this early in the morning!" (Naofumi)

"Uwaaa... Naofumi-chan, So stingyyyy" (Sadina)

It looks like i can't rely on Sadina's sensitivity to spirits for awhile.

I approached Itsuki and look at his weapon.

It's true that it is glowing.

A bright yellow glow.

"Hmmm.. Just what is the cause of this."

"Itsuki, when did this happened?" (Naofumi)

"I think about 40 minutes ago." (Itsuki)

"Do you feel any negative effects? " (Naofumi)

"None so far." (Itsuki)

Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.

I was irritated by Itsuki's facade to me.

Why is he being so formal?

Is it influenced by the fact that I am a God Slayer?

"Naofumu.. Do you have any ideas? " (Itsuki)

"I haven't seen that before. so no. " (Naofumi)

"Okay. I think i'll just let it be. It doesn't affect my abilities, other than it became fancy" (Itsuki)

"Hah.."" (Naofumi)

Still even though it doesn's have any adverse effects.

I am still disturbed by the fact that it glows.

Well. they can be thankful because going to the dungeon will be a bit easier.

They don't need to bring torches anymore.

I don't think that they activated any curses since we have the blessing of the spirits.

And no gods can interfere anymore in this realm since i erected a barrier already.

The day concluded with me having no leads about it.

"Naofumi-sama!!!"

"Wha- What is it?!" (Naofumi)

I was ejected awoke by Raphtalia in a panic.

I really have a bad premonition about this.

"Th- The Hourglass is acting up! " (Raphtalia)

"What?!" (Naofumi)

I wasted no time and equipped my armors.

I rushed to the Church of the Three Heroes to check on the seemingly acting Hourglass

The once Red Hourglass turned to Blue.

And there was a timer.

240:00:00

10 days before the next wave.

Transcension.

This message was displayed in my status update window.

I immediately understood what does this mean.

Does this mean that another wave of jeopardy will come crossing here?

Just what does this word Transcension mean?

We are absolutely no clue about what has to happened.

At the help window of the Hourglass the following message was displayed

Help Section: Hourglass of the Dragons Era

Next wave 240:00:00

Transcension - What has been sowed.
