Eleven floors have been passed through and now they still have seven floors left to get outta from the Supernatural Realm. ßenlong who is running ascending the stairs is increasing his pace.

'Whoa, calm down, ßenlong. No need to rush.' Alfi said.

'Of course, we do have to get outta here ASAP. The world can be in danger while the absence of the protector, right?' ßenlong replied.

'Hmm, you get a point anyway.' Alfi takes it casually.

'And you took it casually, eh?' ßenlong sighed.

'No, I don't.' Alfi replied.

He recalled the moment when he was encountering Waku-waku all by himself. He used Pukan and Harasa assuming he could defeat them with just using both of them, yet he was wrong. Waku-waku is just too strong for him that he almost lost his life.

"If that guy didn't show up, I might have been one of them by now." He said in his inner.

Kartika is getting anxious by just looking at his expression right now. She also recalls what happen on Pandawa beach. Alfi was totally overwhelmed by Waku-waku. She is blaming her weaknesses as she couldn't even protect her precious one. Not only Kartika who feels that way, but also Herman and Varz do.

Everything is getting awkward.

'Say, Alfi.' ßenlong is trying to break the ice. 'I wonder how did you end up entrapped here. It's just wandering spirits dwell here. Did you come here by force just like your friends?' ßenlong asked.

'You can say that I ended up here because of someone's salvation.' Alfi said.

'What do you mean, Alfi?' Jeje asked.

Alfi touches his head as his head is kinda spinning every time he recalls it. That moment is so painful to remember. He is even able to feel the pain he got from their torment back in the Pandawa beach. He still remembers how painful every slash and stab he got back then. Every time he recalls it, he will recall how painful it is.

'You don't need to push yourself to answer it.' ßenlong said. 'I'm sorry if it just hurts you.'

'No, I am good.' Alfi replied. 'You can say that I ended up here because of someone's salvation. Probably like the second chance to live.'

'What do you mean?' Jeje asked.

'I... Encountered Waku-waku... All by myself. And I couldn't take control Pukan and the last holy weapon, Harasa, back then. I was defeated. I lost both of my best friends, Koji and Rian, and end up getting overwhelmed by six members of Waku-waku.' Alfi explained.

'Not just ordinary members, they are the top brass of Waku-waku known as the Fatal Six.' Herman added.

'The Fatal Six, eh? I heard that they were really strong.' Jeje said.

'Very. Even they could overwhelm me who used Harasa in minutes, no seconds. They can maximize their power to be that strong. It proves that I am still weak.' Alfi clenches both of his hands as he pissed off by the fact. 'I am so naive, eh? To think I can defeat anyone with this power by just imagining things and attack. I even didn't aware that I could be defeated like that pathetic.' Alfi is downcast mourning his sorrow.

'And, will you stay mourning it like that?' Cocong asked.

'You are the Alfa, right? You are the Starless, but you also the Alfa, the world protector, right? What will happen to the world if the protector is this gloomy? Didn't you told us that you would protect the world no matter what?' ßenlong scolded him.

'But, am I really able to do so?' Alfi asked.

'Yes, you are. You proved us before, right? Ahol, Garuda, Lembuswana, and Leak. You have defeated them without any hesitation shown on your face. Then, what to worry? If you feel you are weak, be stronger!' Buriko exclaimed.

'Yeah, be stronger, Alfi. If you feel blue, you know what to do, right?' Aoi tempted Alfi.

Kartika does nothing but giving her a gaze full of killing intent.

'Just kidding. Ha... Ha... Ha...' Aoi is getting intimidated by Kartika's gaze.

'We will be stronger too!' Kartika said. 'You are a protector, but it doesn't mean you don't need protecting, right?' She added.

'We won't let you fight by yourself.' Varz added.

'We are friends, right? Friends are supposed to help each other, right?' Herman added.

Alfi raises his head. He realizes that he has a lot of friends who care about him. He didn't expect that his first encounter with Kartika would lead him to have a bunch of good friends like them. When he thought he had lost everything, he got something more than everything he had before, good friends who care about him. He then smiles.

'Don't ever think no one cares about you, even though most do. Just remembers you have a bunch of friends who care about you.' ßenlong said.

'Yes, you are right.' Alfi said.

The door to the twelfth floor is at sight. ßenlong is increasing his pace passing through that wide-open door.

They find themselves in a room like a library. There are so many tall wooden bookshelves full of books arranging around them in parallel. They just smell book here. Typical library for sure.

ßenlong then walks slowly staying vigilant as he is aware of the guardian of this floor will come out and give them a surprise attack. Alfi looks at his surrounding and he feels familiar to the back of the books arranged on the bookshelves he passed. As he is curious, he gets off from ßenlong and approaches one bookshelf in front of him.

He then takes a book with red back. And his prejudice is right.

'I... It's...' He is shivering by looking at the cover of the book.

'What is it Al-' Jeje comes to Alfi and remains silent when he sees the cover of the book.

'Alfi, don't tell me it is the one?' Jeje averts to Alfi, err his head turns to Alfi.

His eyes are just drawing. How could I forget the fact that Jeje is a Jailangkung with Gundam head?

'Exactly.' Alfi said in a serious tone.

'What is it, guys? Why are you so serious?' Kartika approaches both of them. 'What book is that any-' Kartika who sees the cover of the book directly smacks their heads really hard that they pass out.

Herman then takes the book and open it.

'Oh, it's just a translated comic to English (Localization, the real script is in Indonesia).' He scans the comic by opening the pages slowly. 'Hang on, why do I feel something strange on this book?' He scans it by opening the pages faster and slams the comic to the floor. 'Ieu mah komik bokep, njir!' Herman exclaimed irritatedly.

Err, should I really translate it? Here's a hint for ya, "bokep" means porn.

'Not just your daily R18 comic.' Alfi gets up.

'It's a super limited special edition Doujinshi, a fan-made comic or indie comic, that it's not even available on Enhay nor XH.' Jeje gets up. 'But, it's quite a shock that such a thing does exist in this realm. Not only that but also it's translated in English already.' He explained.

'Not only that.' Alfi is rummaging the bookshelf in front of him.

He takes a book, opens it, scans it fast, drops it, and takes another one.

'Not only Muchiqueen, Doujin works of Ruckus, Sindoll, Jonpe, Sukurin, are here and they are fully translated.' Alfi said.

'That's strange, as I know, there's just a circle whose works is to translate R18 Doujin works like that, and they don't translate many though. Are there some circles with the same vision established after my death?' Jeje is wondering.

'No, no other circles is doing that stuff. It's just that circle, but they haven't made any move recently. Their last update is on Hitoyou in April, a translated NTR and Necrophile Doujin of Shigatsu wa Kimi no Usop.' Alfi explained.

Sorry that I have to change the names as I don't want to deal with DMCA anymore.

'What are they talking about? How can they become so serious ever since they found the book?' Kartika whispered to Herman.

'It's better for you not to know anything about this.' Herman said holding his urge to join their conversation.

'Jeje, do you know what to do?' Alfi looks at Jeje with a serious tone while drawing the magic curtain from his bracelet and hold every of its edge so it looks like a white rag bag.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

'Obviously!' Jeje replied with a serious tone.

Both of them stare at the bookshelf. They take the books and put them into the bag.

'What a waste to let them remain here, right?! That's why we have to take them all!' Jeje exclaimed.

'Now collection, then Doujinshi. Is it Heaven or something?!' Alfi exclaimed.

They are so excited to take, or steal, those books. The others are just watching their absurd deed.

'Should we stop them?' Varz asked.

'Just let them be. Give them some time to have fun.' Kartika replied.

Suddenly Alfi feels a familiar Iru. Something long is seen coming to his direction, and he nullifies it by hitting it with Tipit.

A guy with both of his eyes closed in an orange parka jacket with the hood on comes out of the blue.

'How dare you tarnish this sacred place!' He yelled at them.

'NTR and Vanilla Doujinshi, eh? As I thought, you are the guardian of this floor, Manik.' Alfi said.

'So you haven't forgotten me, Your Highness.' He said.

'Oh, sure. I will never forget you, especially for making me hurting my friends, you asshole!' Alfi satirized him.

'Oh, what a fearsome tone you had there. Do you want to kill me? Don't you know how dangerous sin for killing? You can be dragged to Hell, you know?'

'Shut the fuck up! Look who's talking!' Alfi exclaimed irritatedly. 'You worship Doujinshi. You are not only sinful but also stupid.' He added.

Suddenly Manik casts something like a white orb from his hand to Alfi. Alfi then nullifies it by hitting it with Tipit. Manik is seen enveloped in his white Iru, ready to defeat Alfi.

'How dare you to speak like that!' Manik enraged. 'We, Harasho, a sacred religion worshiping NTR and Vanilla Doujin. Don't ever think that what you said is just a mere joke, be very careful to just what you said, Your Highness.' Manik points Alfi.

'Then, how sacred this 'dogma' profess here, Harasho, eh?' Alfi said.

'Hmm, looks like you are getting interested in our religion.' Manik smiles.

The white Iru enveloping him vanishes.

'Harasho is the most reasonable dogma. You can say that it projects the current life.' Manik reaches into his jacket pockets and draws their contents.

There are two books on his hands. A pink book with a couple smiling to each other on a heart frame on the cover is on his right hand and a red book with a short hair woman crying on the cover is on his left hand.

'Which Doujin do you like, Your Highness?' Manik asked.

'Both.' Alfi said. 'The book on your right hand is a Vanilla Doujin of Snowball and the one on your left hand is an NTR Doujin od Sindoll, right? I like both.' He added.

'Oh, so you like both?' Manik put those back to his jacket pockets. 'Then you do understand what I meant before, right?'

'Nope, not at all. Can you explain it to me?'

'Sure' Manik clears his throat. 'As you know, life is like a Doujin. If I may ask you something, what genres are contrast, Your Highness?'

'Vanilla and NTR. Vanilla is a genre that depicts conventional intercourse, where a couple having normal intercourse with affection to each other.' Alfi explained. 'While NTR, which is a short of Netorare which means cheated on is the opposite of Vanilla. This genre is about a tragic story about a couple relationship is broken for one of them is having sex with another guy. Typical sad story.'

'Right. You are quite sharp, Your highness.' Manik said. 'As you can see, life is like Doujin. Some got convenient talents that make their life as sweet as Vanilla Doujin and some got cursed that make their life as painful as NTR. The warmth of affection and the pain of seeing your partner getting reaped by the one she loves most deep within her heart.' Manik is raising both of his arms. 'The stories in Doujins are the depiction of our lives! The sweetness of Vanilla and the rottenness of NTR! We worship them by collecting and translating them here to realize them to be grateful for the gifts and the curses they have! This is it, HARASHO!' Manik exclaimed.

'If you make a Doujin your God, don't you feel embarrassed to see that your God is made by the likes of us?!' Alfi exclaimed.

'Watch your language!' Manik exclaimed. 'You, the Starless is supposed to understand why you have such a miserable life, why your life is so fucked up like NTR Doujin and why you can't find happiness in your life. It's because you are a sinner! There are so many lost lambs roaming in the world. If you want to protect them, use religion instead, the most correct one! Not the one that let its worshippers hurt each other, but the one that unites its worshippers! What do we m****e to? Doujin! Some like Vanilla, and some like NTR, but they never blaspheme each other, they respect each other instead. And what makes it happen? Doujin!' Manik exclaimed out loud as if he is a religious leader.

"This guy has lost his mind for sure." They said in their inner.

'I do agree that Doujin does unite all of us. All religions teach nobility to their worshippers, but because some of them have different perspectives, they break themselves. But, it doesn't happen in Doujinity, right? (I swear, I have no idea about the right word to put.). If you like Vanilla, the people who like other genres won't blaspheme you. That's what makes Dojin a people unifier.' Alfi said.

Manik smiles and says, 'Finally you understand, then-'

'But!' Alfi exclaimed. 'I will never worship something like lust satisfier for trash like us!' Alfi exclaimed.

Manik remains silent. His white Iru comes out from his body and envelopes his body. Both of his eyes are wide open and the eyeballs are enveloped in white Iru.

'You disgraceful blasphemous!' Manik is floating in the sky. 'KIWA!'

A white Ribo which looks like a little giant with eerie look comes out from Manik's chaplet and floats over his head. His white Iru is expanding that it spreads to every direction like octopus testicles, eh tentacles (Octopus doesn't have tentacles though, it's limbs). Something like a brown book appears before him and opens by itself. Kiwa then descends to the book and the book closes crushes Kiwa. Manik is screaming aloud in pain and the book turns into a white book with tentacle picture on the cover. The book opens by itself and Manik enchants a spell in an unknown language. What he speaks is just moaning and groans, yet it sounds like a spell. That's why I am reluctant to write down the spell. His body suddenly glows white dazzling all of them.

'I, Manik, the leader of the Tentacle cult, will get rid of the blasphemers before me!' Manik exclaimed.

"Even the cult name is the genres of Doujinshi. Morons are getting advanced these days, eh?" Alfi said in his mind.

Alfi sees something coming to his direction. Alfi then impales it with Tipit and nullifies it in no time. Not only comes to Alfi, that thing also comes to his friends, but fortunately, Herman, Varz, and Jeje can handle it together.

'Alfi! It's a tentacle! Don't ever touch it no matter what!' Jeje exclaimed.

'No need to remind me!' Alfi runs ascending the tentacle to the floating Manik.

'Ah, ah~, ah~~, ah~, ah~~~, ah~.' Manik groaned enchanting his spell.

This is why I don't want to write down the spell. What happened to me anyway?!

Manik's Iru is coming to Alfi really fast. Those tentacles stab his body and shove him crashing the bookshelf. Alfi is unable to move at all as those tentacles keep absorbing his skin strongly.

'Alfi!' They exclaimed.

Herman and ßenlong shoots flame to Manik. Manik just raises his hand which has extended like a tentacle and negates the flame by just a single swing.

'It's futile!' Manik exclaimed. 'Just take what you deserve, you infidels!' Manik extends.

His white Iru is glowing more dazzling that they can't attack him as they can't tell where he is.

'Ah~~~, ah~~, ah~~, ah~~, AH~~~~~~~!' Manik takes out a white sword which resembles a tentacle from his book and comes to Alfi at light speed.

When Manik is about to impale Alfi with his sword, suddenly the tentacles that pile him up turns black and thaws. Manik is slowing down that Alfi can evade him by just step aside making Manik impales his sword to the floor really hard that he is unable to pull it out. Alfi swings his jet black Tipit to Manik and Manik parries it with his white Iru that envelopes him. Manik then floats to the sky. Seeing that, Alfi grows black wings from his back and comes to Manik.

'So you do fly, but can you take care of this?!' Manik launches a lot of white tentacles from his Iru to Alfi.

Alfi is slicing those tentacles with Pelidi swiftly at an incredible speed. Those tentacles keep coming, but Alfi is still able to slice them up while shooting black needles from his wings to Manik and Manik is still able to parry them with his Iru cloak.

Meanwhile, his friends are just able to see their silhouettes having a fight in the sky at a high speed behind that dazzling white light. They hesitate to attack as they are afraid that their blows will hit Alfi instead of Manik.

Suddenly the light is getting dimmed that they can tell where those two are. Realizing that, Kartika, Herman, Varz, Jeje, and ßenlong are shooting Manik with their unique projectiles. Manik swiftly parries their projectiles with his Iru cloak.

'You will never be able to attack me as long as I have this! This Iru cloak is an absolute shield that will never be broken by anything!' Manik exclaimed arrogantly. 'This is the majesty of Harasho!'

'A Dogma states life is like Doujin?! You do get a point that literature works do depict human lives from various point of view that it makes literature works so priceless. Literature works are supposed to be appreciated, not worshipped!' Alfi launches Tipit to Manik.

Tipit is coming fast that Manik is unable to parry it. It pierces the book and impales his body. His Iru robe vanishes and he falls crashing the floor hard.

Manik is trying to get up with all of his might. He is looking up looking for where Alfi is, but without even realizing it, Alfi is right behind him and impales Manik's body with his jet black Pelidi.

'Some Dogma you have there, yet it is the silliest one of the religions I know.' Alfi said

'Why you...' Manik slowly turns his head to Alfi with a stare full of rage. 'Your life will never be blessed upon for doing something like this to me! You have disgraced the honor of Harasho!' Manik cursed Alfi. 'I solemnly swear on behalf of our great religion, Harasho! We will destroy you as painful as a hundred, no a hundred million NTR Doujin in this world! Remember that!'

Alfi pulls out his sword and spear from Manik's body and cross slashes his body vanishing him in no time. Alfi then returns Pelidi and Tipit to his bracelet.

'You don need to curse me like that as my life is cursed already. But,' Alfi averts his gaze to his friends who are coming to him. 'This curse is enjoyable, you know?' He added.

'Let's go.' ßenlong said showing the stair to the next floor which is located near the bookshelf under that giant window.

Alfi looks at the scattered tentacles on the floor and says, 'Let's have a break then. Anyone likes Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki?' Alfi draws the magic curtain and throws it forward.

He takes it back and they see a set of Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki cooking ware with a box of cold beverages and the ingredients like eggs, flour, water, etc.

'I do!' Jeje and Herman exclaimed.

'Alfi, don't we have to hurry?' Kartika asked.

'Don't worry, we get outta here for sure.' Alfi smiles at her. 'No need to hurry, right?'

She sees they are having fun cooking Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki while goofing around. She knows that Alfi wants to have fun with all of them.

She smiles and says, 'Right. I think you got a point there.'

Alfi smiles and takes her hand leading her to all of them. The two are having fun too. Kartika who is having her Takoyaki is glad to see Alfi goofing around with all of them realizing that he is the Alfa and the Starless who have heavy burden and responsibility. Alfi just acts silly as usual. She is sure that if he shows his anxiety, he will just make the other worry about them and that whats makes her adores him.

"You have such a harsh and sad life, yet you still move forward and be carefree like this. Alfi, if you persist to keep going without even thinking of giving up, I promise. I promise that I will be stronger so you don't need to shoulder the burden all by yourself." Kartika said in her mind.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Alfi's world, there's a ruined temple but inhabited by a lot of people with a white parka jacket with the hood on. They are sitting on their seats while translating comics on that long table. Two people are standing on the roof which is a ruined dome that resembles a big niche.

'So, Manik is defeated already?'

'Yes, Your Holiness.'

'Then, I think we don't need to send a spy to Waku-waku, right?' The one who looks like a Pope turns around to his aide.

'We need to be aware of the Alfa. That's right that Harasho is spreading, but with the presence of the Alfa, we can't let our guard down as he has defeated one of our cult leaders. It is a threat for us and a disgrace for the honor of our religion' The Pope said.

'You are right, Your Holiness, there are so many lost lambs roaming all over the world and we have to lead and unite them.'

'To tell you the truth, the real threat isn't the Alfa, but the holy weapons he wields.'

'Really? Do I need to get rid of him? He is currently in the Supranatural realm.'

'Nah, We still have the other cult leaders who are stronger than Manik. And I'm sure, the Alfa won't stand a chance against them at all. And once we retrieve the holy weapons, we'll use them to realize our dream! This world only needs one religion, the most correct one!' The Pope teleports to his altar and his subordinates stand up noticing him.

'ALL HAIL HARASHO!' The Pope extends his arms with pride.

'ALL HAIL HARASHO!'
