A/N: Anything with ,5 is a short story or an omake (side story, except more funny stuff). Hope you guys enjoy this chapter! R&R!
P.S
Ignore the 3 rules of writing the diaries - that's just self-note. Before I forget, the timeline is random for the diaries and it is on purpose!
Chapter cover: Mercedes, the two Arans, Phantom, Luminous and Evan are writing their diaries in their respective locations. Mercedes – her chamber, the two Arans – in the library of Rien, Phantom – in his bedroom in Lumiere, Luminous - in Lania's home (with Lania looking at it over his shoulder), Evan – in one of the training rooms in Lumiere (with Lea sleeping in a one-seat couch).

The Three Rules of writing the Heroes' Diaries
1) Never mention names other than nicknames or initials
2) State their observations and thoughts, and do not mention what they were doing (e.g. missions)
3)Always mention the owner's title/nickname of the diary

The Elf Queen Diary
Dear Diary, it is almost three years since I've thawed out of the cursed ice and my townspeople…
I failed them.
It scares me – not knowing what's coming in our way, not knowing what to do. I almost lost my mind, from my failures. Can you believe it?
Even now as I write my entry, I can't help, but shudder at the thought of the Black Mage rising again. I know it is unavoidable. We only sealed him, not kill him in cold blood.
What I find it…stranger – and that's a feat considering I was alive for more than two hundred years – is the same girl and boy (I will call them 'L.S' and 'K.A' if I do mention them in future entries) – one who looked exactly like him and another almost identical. Those eyes…looked as if they went through a war. No Adventurers have eyes like…it.
They have something dark, lingering like a shadow. There was a light of hope, but it was dimming, gradually fading from their eyes. Even if they act like children like their age, I hope I will witness it myself.
I think they are struggling to survive from whatever hell fate is throwing at them – or risk drowning in the sea of darkness.
Even if Maple World is at peace now…there are children who looked like…they see nothing, but the ugliness of the world.
We just passed by each other in Kerning City, and he never saw me – which I think is fortunate.
I didn't catch the kid's name, but his appearance was handsome, at the same time, there was sorrow etched in his eyes, and his posture too. Beside him was a young, bubbly girl, and I ship them together (guilty as charged).
I blame my friend A.P for that strange habit I picked up.
Good night, my dear diary. I hope we can find our friends soon…and…never mind. It is better if I don't jinx it.

The Twin Diary
AG: Dear Diary,
Training is scary when our trainer AROUND! Oh, a baby penguin and an angry…! Wait…oh nooo…
Got to go before I receive any more training push ups!

AB: Dear Diary
I am looking at my counterpart's diary…this is so strange. And I agree with my, uh…partner. I swear I don't get her train of thoughts most of the time. One moment food, another moment snow, then animals and then monsters.
If you are reading this, my partner – forgive me for I am a boy and nothing less, nothing more.
See ya, diary!
^
Don't worry, I forgive you!
- Love, AG

The Master Thief Diary
Dear Diary,
Like any other days, it is a tiring day and being insulted or teased by your butler or maids is sure to bring your mental health down.
And now, another player has entered the insulting – slash – teasing game against me. Gee, won't they give it up? It's hurting my ego to the maximum, but I won't lose!
Signing off!

The Grumpy Magician
Dear Diary,
Again…my baby girl is being hit by so many boys in Ellinia – for a mere shopping trip! This is outrageous! And she refused to take the robot with her!
AND THAT CRAZY PRANKSTER KEEPS COMING BACK TO MY HOME!
Really? World? Is this your idea of fun?

The Dragon Master
Dear Diary,
I learned a few things about rules of magic. It may seem strange, but I will list it down here, so that I can refer to it later and memorize them by heart. I think there are more though, but none of my mentors are willing to tell me and instead, wants me to blow up first…
That's a scary thought…
1: -
Every magic has its own strengths and weakness – and it depends on a mage's quality and quantity of mana, although it leans more on quality, but the time taken for it to last is the quantity.
2:-
The Elemental Chart can be useless if the main five elements is merged with the element Holy or Dark unless countered with the opposite element.
3:-
Magic attacks are stronger if the person is physically strong due to the mana output (strange, but makes sense)
4:-
Magic is not limited to one form. It depends on the user's creativity and imagination (proven by the two mentors)
Hm…there is one more thing though, which is still theoretical…and none of us could prove it.
Pseudo-rule no.5:-
Everyone has affinity for the main elements – except for Light and Dark Elements from the beginning, but as we concentrate on one, we eventually lose the ability to use the other elements unless we do something drastic.
