AN: I decided to post this story rather wait next week. Enjoy! What? Any updates on 'The Juggernaut and Crystal Maiden'? I haven't started yet. Sorry.


After the victory of the Radiant against the Dire, the Heroes who participated from both factions parted ways in peace. Some went back to their homeland, others went back to what they were doing before, while others seek adventure. It was going back to their old lives.

In the case of Yurnero the Juggernaut, he has no homeland to return to for his isle was swallowed by the ocean, leaving him as the sole survivor and last of his kind. All he knows what he was doing before is travel and find a battlefield to fight in, for in a battlefield there is honor... and it made him feel he exists.

Three years he traveled and participated in wars. Many times he came out alive. The gold he earned increases yet he never spends it too much, only in food and necessities. Where would he spend his extra gold anyway? Better to keep it than waste it. But he has now a reason to waste his gold.

Taking a break from a war he joined, Yurnero came upon a nearby farming town. It was peaceful, though the townspeople were very aware of the war going on near their place. To Yurnero, it reminds him of his old homeland before it was ruined by corrupt lords. And there from a far distance, he spotted an island by the sea. The island is not too big nor too small, with trees and a rocky mountain. Perfect for someone who can own it properly. Yurnero does not know what made him think that way but one thing is for sure: he wants it.

Yurnero then went to the town hall to inquire about the island. The officials said the island was not owned nor anyone dares to set foot on it because most of the people are farmers and feared that the sea is filled with danger. When Yurnero told the officials he wanted to own the island, they agreed to let him claim it without paying anything. Giving him a deed to the island, they also express to Yurnero if maybe he could catch fish as his livelihood instead of returning to the war. Yurnero answered he will still participate in the war, however, he considers to become a fisherman. Thanking them for their concern and generosity, Yurnero quickly rented a boat to inspect his island.

The sea is calm and clear that corals and marine life are visible like watching through a glass. Facing the woods going through the town is a sandy beach where he beached his boat and will serve as a port. Coconuts were abundant at the outskirts going within the isle. But Yurnero decided to check the edges of the isle first. As he walked, he realized the island is larger than what he saw. At the other edges are rocky cliffs with non-fruit trees. After returning to his beached boat, Yurnero then went within the isle.

Yurnero noticed that not too many trees grew within the island, but other plants such as grasses and bushes are abundant. And the trees are not just ordinary trees, they are birch, like his wooden mask. And he noticed that the soil is loamy and fertile. Nearing the mountain, he discovered that a fountain is present and the excess water flows to a pool before going to the sea. Yurnero has a suspicion but to prove he is right, he needs to dive and see what is below the did dive and discovered that the island is actually land that connects to the main land, therefore there is fresh water coming out from the fountain.

After his inspection, Yurnero went back to the main land and started purchasing things needed to create a house. He also went to stone masons to create a few roof tiles according to his specific shape, and he will order more if necessary. Then he checked for strong papers and other things such as straw. returning to the island. He decided that near the fountain and pool will be the perfect place to set up a house. He started to cut trees for lumber, careful not to crush or destroy other plants. He started digging deep holes for the foundation of his home, and canals that will serve as sewers for wastes that will return to the sea. The heat and storm never stopped him from making his house by himself.

It took him six months to finally finish his home. He recreated the two-story traditional house of his homeland and added a few non-traditional things that will be helpful in making his house strong. he made sure the house is spacious, especially the living room and kitchen. Within his house, he also built a big bathroom, and a practice room that is wide enough for him to run as he does his blade dance.

In the second floor has four rooms, to his consternation. One room is enough for him. He decided to turn the other rooms as a storage area. Problem solved, he starts to enjoy the fruits of his labor.
