Ch. 1 - Key of Sky

This key is very small. Ordinary humans couldn't see it. It was the key that the God of Heaven dropped by accident. For millions of years, the key has not been found. Hidden in a world that has fourteen continents. Whoever finds the key will be rewarded directly by the God of Heaven. All requests will be granted.

***

"Arai, you know? In this world there are 50 sacred treasures that the God of Heaven dropped millions years ago. It so amazing, right?!"

“50 sacred sacred treasures? What are they?"

"You want to know?"

"Yes, I want to know!"

"But, you must promise to marry me after I tell this secret. You agree?"

"Yes I do!"

"Okay, I'll explain briefly. In this world there are 50 sacred treasures of the God of Heaven that all humans seek. The 50 sacred heavens are divided into 7 Holy Weapons, 7 Cursed Amulets, 7 Heaven Fruits, 7 Divine Pet, 7 Hell Beasts, 7 Immortal Witches, 7 Divine Books, and 1 Key of Sky. All the sacred treasures are scattered throughout the continents of this world. Really great, right?"

“Whoa, great! But, why is there only one Key of Sky while the other sacred treasures are seven?"

“That's because the Key of Sky is the best of the seven sacred treasures. The person who has the key can ask the God of Heaven for anything.”

“Ask for anything from the God of Heaven? Can I ask my parents to be happy?"

"Hahaha, of course you can, but your parents are happy now. Think of another request."

"Replacing the God of Heaven?"

“Hahaha, that might be possible. But, the God of Heaven will definitely be angry. Think of another request."

"I am confused. I don't know what I want."

"I see, haha."

"How about you?"

"Well, I want ..."

When he woke up, Arai was already in a horse carriage that was walking slowly. The evening sun entered the train room to make his eyes dazzled. Arai immediately blocks the light with his right hand.

“Arai stupid, wake up! We'll be arrive soon!"

The blue hair girl with glasses stared at him. The girl was wearing a black robe while holding a wooden magic wand.  Three other girls in this carriage also staring at him while sitting relaxed.

“Why is your face so confused, Arai? You have a nightmare, huh?" The girl with long black hair

in a braid looked at him worriedly.

"Not really."

"Then be prepared. We'll be arrive soon."

Not so long, the horse carriage finally arrived at the gate of a city. They immediately got off while carrying their respective luggage.

Arai looks at the surroundings. The grasslands spread wide outside the city gates. Everything is all green.

"W-where is this?"

The four girls looked directly at Arai at the same time.

"Eh? You're senile, huh? This is the City of Balin. You brought us here yourself, stupid Arai."

"Are you all right, Mr. Arai?"

The four of them looked increasingly worried.

"Arai? Why am I called Arai? Is my name really Arai?" he thoughts.

Arai finally walked into the gate with the four girls. They showed their passports before finally

being allowed by the gatekeeper to enter.

Upon entering the city gate, Arai was made even more confused. He saw various animal-like

creatures but human bodies. The creatures spoke and laughed like humans. Arai isn't sure, but these creatures look so real.

They arrived in front of an inn. Written the letters Cherry Inn on the inn's doorway.

“This is the cheapest lodging. We'll stay here from now on." A girl who called him 'Mr.' pointed to this inn.

"Gosh, this inn is so ugly. Do you have the heart to let a girl as beautiful as myself sleep in a place

like this, stupid Arai ?!” The black robed girl slams her wand against Arai's shoulder.

"Never mind Yoko, we only have one month left here." The girl with long black hair in a braid

stared at the roof of the inn which looked dilapidated.

"As long as I can be with Ar Ar, I have no problem sleeping anywhere!" A cheerful girl with pink

hair suddenly hugged Arai from the side.

“Hey, Ae-Cha! You can't do that! We agreed not to touch Arai during this trip!”

“T-That's right! You can't touch stupid Arai! Quickly let go of your arms!"

After a little commotion, they finally entered the inn to immediately book a room.

“Welcome to the Cherry Inn, adventurers. How many rooms do you want to order?" A girl with glasses smiled friendly.

"We ordered three rooms. One room can be occupied by two people, right?"

"Yes." The innkeeper nodded. "How long are you guys staying here?"

"About a month. Maybe more."

“Well, the cost per day for one room is 50 copper pieces. You can pay now or when you ready to

leave. This is the key to the room." The innkeeper gave three room keys.

"Thank you." The pink haired girl took one of the keys and immediately took Arai's hand. "Ar Ar, let's enter the room together."

"Hey! What are you doing, Ae-Cha ?! You broke your promise again!"

"Take your hand off him!"

The three girls started making noise again while one more girl just smiled at them.

Arai, who had been silent, finally started making a sound.

"W-who are all of you?"

Arai's words confused the four girls.

“I seem to have lost my memory. I don't remember who you are and why I was here. Can you all explain the situation that is currently happened to me?” Arai scratched the back of his head.

The five of them then sat in the guest room of the inn. Arai sits on the sofa while the four girls

stare at him simultaneously.

"So, explain it to me. Who are you really?"

"I'm your wife."

"I am your wife!"

"I-I'm your wife!"

"I am your servant."

The four girls said in unison.

“Hey, don't spread lies! You're just a country girl! I'm stupid Arai's wife!" The girl in the black robe grabbed the pink haired girl.

"What are you saying? I am the first girl Ar Ar meets! I am his wife!" The pink haired girl grabbed

him back.

“You two don't be arrogant. Arai likes strong girls like me. Right, Arai?" The braid haired girl gave Arai a smile.

The last girl just smiled awkwardly.

After going through the commotion the second time, the three of them finally reconciled.

“I totally lost my memory. Please introduce yourself again."

Because Arai looked confused, the four of them finally complied with his request.

“Very well, I will introduce myself. My name is Li Miao. I am the eldest daughter of the spear

martial arts master in Cainan. I am your fiancé." The girl with the two braids introduced herself. Among the girls, she was the tallest and most stocky.

Next, it was the turn of the short pink haired girl who introduced herself.

“I'm Ae-Cha! I am the best archer in Soleun country. I'm your fiancé too. Have you really forgotten

me, Ar Ar?" Ae-Cha tilted her head.

After Ae-Cha, it was the turn of the girl in black who introduced herself.

"My name is Hokkan Yoko. I am the second princess of the Hokkan kingdom. My specialty is using a magic wand. Y-you are my fiancé, stupid Arai!”

After the three girls became acquainted, it was the turn of the last girl to speak. Unlike the three girls who were wearing fine clothes, this last girl was dressed simply. Her short white hair was less shiny than the other three girls.

"My name is Rei. I am your servant, Mr. Arai."

"Servant?"

Rei nodded. “Yes, I am the slave that you buy when we met in Rion country. From that time on, you made me your personal servant."

Arai really doesn't remember his old life. Arai's memories are like being reset. Arai doesn't remember anything even his own name. Because of this, Arai also forgot his promise to the girl in the dream.
