'The supernatural palace? What do you mean?' Alfi asked.

'Please allow me to explain it to you, my lord.' The Jailangkung said. 'In 2015 - 2016, the mount Bromo activity had got more intense as Ki Bromo, the ruler of mountain Bromo, built a supernatural palace. He built this palace so the wandering spirits can have a place to stay in peace.' It explained.

'Wandering spirits, eh? So such things do exist, eh?' Alfi said. 'Why did he build such a place for such a reason?' He asked.

'Wandering spirits are the one passed away leaving some undone business in the world. If they don't get it done, they will stay in this world as spirits for good. They will never be able to go to the afterlife in peace.' The Jailangkung explained.

'Which means, for instance, if you save your money for Comiket, and die on the day before the occasion, you'll be a wandering spirit, right?' Alfi guessed.

'Yup, and that's how I ended up a wandering spirit who will never go to the afterlife. It's because I was buried on the day after the Comiket last year.' Jailangkung said.

"Such a case does exist, eh?" Alfi is shocked by hearing it.

'I guess, it's no good if I call you by the name of your ghost type. Do you have a name or anything that I can call you?' Alfi asked.

'Cocong.' The tied ghost said.

'Buriko.' The Ogre said.

'Aoi.' The slithering nurse said.

'Jeje.' The Jailangkung said.

'Are you guys really Indonesian?' Alfi asked.

'Yes, we are.' They said altogether.

'Hang on, about the wandering spirits, is it including murdered ones?' Alfi asked.

'Sure, vengeance is one of the undone business, right?' Jeje replied.

'Did you, by any chance, kill someone, my lord?' Cocong asked.

'Yup, I killed so many people.' He said awkwardly.

'SASUGA ALFI SAMA!' Jeje exclaimed.

'I AM NOT AINZ, YOU BASTARD!' Alfi yelled at him.

'I didn't expect to see you here...' Alfi hears someone in Madura dialect.

'Oh no.' Cocong said.

They see 2 familiar figures for Alfi standing there.

'As I've expected.' Alfi said. 'Long time no see. Taye, Wira.'

'You know both of them?' Buriko asked,

'I am the one who killed them.' Alfi said. 'You want a rematch, eh?' Alfi cracks his hands

Both of them are kneeling down before him and say, 'Please give us some mercy! Please don't hurt us anymore!'

'Even they are afraid of him?!' Cocong, Buriko, Aoi, and Jeje are shocked by seeing such a view.

'Huh?' Alfi is confused. 'Didn't you end up becoming wandering spirit as I killed both of you? Don't you want to go to the afterlife in peace?' He asked.

'No! We like staying here!' Taye exclaimed.

'We live in peace here already!' Wira exclaimed.

'I'm not sure that you do "live" here.' Alfi said awkwardly.

'Well, after you killed us, we were trapped here and tried to escape. Yet, suddenly we encountered Ki Bromo. He gave us 2 choices whether we wanted to avenge or worked for him.' Taye explained.

'It's impossible for us to kill the likes of you, even if we join forces. There's no way to kill the likes of you. Then...' Wira added.

'I don't know that I should be proud that I am stronger than you, or angry about "the likes of you" means. So, you are his underlings, eh?' Alfi asked.

'Exactly! I am the royal chef now. I just serve satay every day. And if anyone doesn't want to eat their meals, I'll beat them up that they will have their meal that they will savor the sticks.' Taye explained.

'And I am working as his assistant! Taye and I are finally able to make "Sate Surya" (Sol Satay) just like a dream comes true!' Wira exclaimed.

'Which means... You... Cook it with your semen?!' Alfi is stuttered.

'It's sunblock, you dumbass! I cook it with my sunblock!' Wira yelled at Alfi.

'If you dare to give me that disgusting food, I'll beat you up black and blue.' Alfi threatened them.

'Alright, no free sample for you.' Taye said.

"I feel sorry for the inhabitants of this palace." Alfi said in his mind.

'Does it mean all Waku-waku members that I killed are here?' Alfi asked.

'Of course.' Taye said.

'Do you know how to get back to the real world?' Alfi asked.

'So, the likes of you aren't dead already?' Wira asked.

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

'Shut the hell up if you don't want something unpleasant to happen to you.' Alfi said.

'A... Alright.' Wira said awkwardly.

'The only way to get outta here is by getting Ki Bromo's blessing.' Jeje explained. 'He is in the throne chamber on the 18th floor. We need to get there, but...'

'What is it?' Alfi asked.

'The Supernatural Palace of Ki Bromo is an 18-floor high palace. We are on the 1st floor, the Floor of Sorrow. We have to get through 16 floors over that are guarded by super strong wandering spirits.' Cocong added.

'No one ever makes it to the throne chamber.' Aoi added.

'And those who fail to get there will end up imprisoned here, the Floor of Sorrow.' Buriko added.

'So, you didn't make it, right?' Alfi asked.

'Yes.' They are getting down.

'Then.' Alfi jabs Taye and Wira' head and shoots shockwave to them that they faint.

'Help me, and I'll take you to him.' He said.

'Right, my lord!' Four of them exclaimed.

'But, what about me?' Aoi asked.

Alfi draws the magic curtain, tears it, and throws it to the air. It flies to the ground and lifts Cocong and Aoi. Both of them look like riding a magic carpet.

'You guys ready?' Alfi asked.

'Ready!' Four of them exclaimed.

Alfi and the others are advancing to the stairs.

'We are not the guardians!' Wira yelled at them.

Alfi and the others have seen the stairs at the horizon, yet they encounter a 1-meter height granny. She has white hair and her face is full of wrinkles. She is fat, yet she is so short like a 4-year-old child. She doesn't wear anything but the light of justice on her restricted area, and she just wields a wooden club on her right hand.

Alfi realizes that he is able to communicate to Arz and Varz on another world. Well, I just realize that he has such an ability. Alfi is trying to concentrate, but he can't communicate with them.

'Ebu Gogo, the mythological creature of Flores. She is the guardian of this floor.' Jeje explained.

'An expired loli.' Alfi said.

She advances and opens her mouth widely.

'Be cautious! She is a cannibal!' Jeje exclaimed.

Alfi draws Tipit and hits her like hitting a ball with a bat. She is sent flying crashing that stone wall. Yet, she seems to eat those stone.

'Sorry, she is not a cannibal. She is a big eater.' Jeje said.

'A gluttonous expired loli.' Alfi said.

'She always abducts babies and eats them.' Jeje said.

'A vile glutonous pedhopilia expired loli.' Alfi said.

Swallowing those stone, she advances to them. Buriko is trying to stomp her, yet she is just too agile.

'Buriko, watch out!' Alfi exclaimed.

Buriko is trying to attack her, but she is just too fast. Without realizing it, she has crawled on his back already and she is ready to eat him. Jeje then advances launching his piercing fist to her. Seeing that, she gets off making Jeje pierces Buriko's back. Remember, the hand of Jailangkung is sharp.

Buriko grabs Jeje's neck and exclaims, 'That's hurt you fucking demon!'

'I am a demon! I'm sorry, but you have to be grateful that you didn't end up becoming her main course!' Jeje exclaimed.

'I'll break your neck!'

'I'd like to see you try!'

'What the heck are they doing?' Alfi is upset seeing both of them are fighting over something unimportant.

Alfi then draws Sketor and dashes with Tipit on his hand. He tries to keep up his pace with her

"She just has a club, I just need to speed up." Alfi thought.

She shoots white orbs to him by swinging her club backward.

'Cut the crap!' Alfi yelled at her.

'Remember, my lord! She is a mythological creature. She masters both white magic and black magic.' Cocong said.

'Is it a supernatural realm or an Isekai?!' Alfi dashes so fast while swinging Tipit to nullify those white orb.

She runs so fast, even Alfi barely reaches her, not to mention the white orbs keeps him busy that he can't focus to keep up his pace.

"Dang, I just waste my Iru for nothing."

'Hey! Look! There's a baby behind me!' Alfi exclaimed.

She stops and rushes to him with her mouth opens widely. He then throws Tipit like throwing a javelin to her mouth. Tipit is flying through her body in a jiffy. She disappears before them.

'Too dumb for a mythological creature.' Alfi said.

'I'll kill you!' Buriko yelled at Jeje.

'Do it if you dare!' Jeje yelled at Buriko.

'You want me to kill both of you?!' Alfi yelled at them.

They stop and kneel over him immediately.

'No, my lord! Please give us some mercy!' They pleaded.

'Now, now, let's go to the next floor.' Alfi said.

'Right.' They advance to the next floor.

They find themselves in a dense and dark forest. They explore the forest slowly. They do hear strange voices, yet they just ignore them.

'The 2nd floor, the the Floor of Nocturnal. The floor is inhabited by nocturnal creatures.' Jeje said.

'What is nocturnal?' Buriko asked.

'It means living at night only, you dumbass!' Jeje yelled at him.

'Are you picking a fight?!' Buriko yelled at him.

Alfi draws Pelidi, and they stop their quarreling.

'Quite. Do you hear it?' Alfi asked.

They just hear the hooting of owls, the howling of wolves, and the commotion of satay stand. What? Satay stand is open at night, right? But, I'm sure he's not Taye.

'We don't hear anything strange, my-'

'AHOOOOOL!!!' They hear a loud howl.

'Ahol.' Alfi said.

'Ahol, a giant bird that looks like a bat with 12 feet wings wide. It was seen wandering in West Java in 1925.' Jeje explained.

'Is it the guardian of this floor?' Alfi asked.

'Oh no...' Buriko said.

Ahol appears before them. It looks like a gigantic hawk. Its wings look like a 12 feet bat wing that spreads making the forest darker even more.

'AHOOOOOL!!!' It howls aloud.

'Buriko, Jeje. Get ready!' Alfi exclaimed.

'Right!' Both of them exclaimed.

'Jeje, can you fly through the sky to tear its wings apart?' Alfi asked.

'Yes, my lord!' Jeje is getting excited.

Suddenly a horde of Tasmanian Devils is coming to their direction.

'BWAGUAGAGAMUAWABABA!!' They roared altogether.

'I know that they are "Tasmanian Devil", but why are their roaring is just like "Tazmanian Devil"? Buriko, protect Cocong and Aoi. I'll take care of that Ahol with Jeje.' Alfi said.

'But, I also want to fight Ahol!' Buriko exclaimed.

'I don't forbid you to encounter Ahol, but you just have to make sure that they are unharmed. Protect your friends before joining the fray!' Alfi exclaimed.

'You are right, my lord! I'm sorry for my impudence!' Buriko summons a wooden ax on his hand. Wait, why does he look like a real berserker?!

Jeje flies through the sky by boosted by the fire igniting on his back like real Gundam. He flies tearing the wing with his piercing hand and flies back tearing it again. He keeps doing that that Ahol wings are full of holes. Buriko beats the Tasmanian Devil with his ax in rampaging mode. Why does he really resemble Heracles?!

Alfi takes a leap to its head wielding 2 Pelidis. Ahol then ducks and advances to Cocong and Aoi. Jeje and Buriko won't make it in time to save those 2. When Ahol is about to peck them, suddenly 2 great bamboo swords hit its neck cutting it off from its body.

'Are you okay?' Alfi asked.

'Yes, my lord.' Cocong and Aoi kneel before him.

'Stop calling me by that! And raise your heads!' Alfi exclaims firmly.

Four of them are afraid to that look-irritated Alfi. They just imagine being tormented by him.

'Be cautious next time.' Alfi said. 'You wanna get outta here, right?' He smiles at them.

'My lord...' They are shocked that Alfi smiles at them.

Alfi then burns its body with T41 gun. He cuts the body with Pelidi, and grilled Ahol is ready to be served.

'Don't call me "my lord". I'd be happy if you consider me your friend. Friends are meant to protect each other, right?' Alfi gave them some of grilled Ahol.

They are bursting out cry.

'Now, now, stop crying. You remind me of my friends in the real world. I... failed to protect them, and I won't make the same mistake anymore. I'll protect you guys.' Alfi said.

'You do resemble a demon, but it looks like you deserve to be the world protector.' Buriko sulked.

Alfi hit Buriko's head with that great bamboo sword hard.

'Why...?' Buriko loses his consciousness.

'I am sorry. I do resemble a demon, right.'

They see a glowing trail to the stairs. They then eat up their meals.

'Guess we can go to the 3rd floor.' Alfi pulls Buriko's hair. 'Come on.' He walks as drags Buriko to the stairs followed by the others.

"Kartika, Herman, Varz, wait for me. I'll be back." Alfi said in his mind.
