1-1 Batu Pemecah Waktu (The Time-Splitting Stone)
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w3H5xyy1Z
The peak of Mount Dieng was cold and eerie. Towering ancient trees reached for the sky, shrouded in a thin veil of mist. From time to time, bats flitted silently through the darkness.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZru9b9FKn
A young man and woman sat side by side, talking quietly. In front of them, a campfire crackled, driving away the mountain chill.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBB2ziqlHP
The woman had a beautiful face with a slightly rounded shape, her long hair flowing down her back. She wore all red, her figure slender and graceful.
Her eyes were sharp, the kind that told you she was no ordinary person.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkQnbGMof4
Her name was Nagini.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jMOt43u9T
The man beside her was handsome, his curly hair falling to his shoulders, and a mischievous grin never far from his lips. He wore all black, a heavy axe tucked at his waist. This was the Kapak Maut Naga Buntung—The Deadly Axe of the Tailless Dragon—lacking the number "21" in its name because it had only a single blade.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxYsPbEyng
His eyes were sharp as well. Clearly, he too was no ordinary man.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkVtSulKPW
His name was Suro Gebleg.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMncOWbxcTe
From his name and the way he grinned, you might suspect he wasn't quite right in the head. Perhaps eleven-twelfths of normal. Or maybe just ninety-nine percent.

244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA6erm5hJR
Suro: "Nagini, I'm going to the future to help a friend."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZvmAlh0DT
Nagini: "Why must you go to the future?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlqIH38WIo
Suro Gebleg fed another log into the campfire so the flames wouldn't die down. Smoke and small sparks drifted up into the night.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN0x33rZye
Suro: "In the future I'm going to, a great war is happening."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57W81K2SMu
Nagini: "Isn't war common?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm66S7iNbBf
Suro: "This isn't a war between kingdoms, or humans fighting other humans, Nagini."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksYfyt9MGm
Nagini frowned. She wasn't following.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV4WnxiJSk
Nagini: "What kind of war do you mean, Suro?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrVmkEvoCz
Suro: "A war against creatures from outer space, Nagini."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRjK0RinCl
Nagini tried to process that.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7tJNnynQ0
Nagini: "Are creatures from outer space even real, Suro?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gyXoxop5d
Suro: "They are, Nagini! At first, I didn't believe it either."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gb5WJd5fx
Nagini: "And then?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9lWftJOje
Suro: "After seeing it with my own eyes, I had no choice but to believe."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gLG3oXB0K
Nagini shook her head. In the 16th century—five hundred years in the past—it was absurd to speak of aliens and interdimensional wars.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYOx3Dbjl2
Back then, the logic was simple: if a meteor fell, master craftsmen would forge it into a sacred keris dagger.

Suro Gebleg nodded, brushing a hand through his curls before adding another log to the fire.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEFAdeBGry
Suro: "Nagini, I received a message from a friend in the future. They need powerful warriors from every corner of the world—any time, any place."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7SKm3AbCb
Nagini listened closely.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rlaw1Y3a4
Suro: "We will gather together to face the alien creatures in the future I'm heading to."

244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWBQ349n2t

244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z2EfbDv0i
Nagini: "Strange how?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkOXN2oX5e
Suro looked straight into her eyes.

Suro: "They have no kingdoms ruled by kings, but kingdoms ruled by… presidents."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90MTpH2rFp
Nagini furrowed her brow, struggling to understand.

Nagini: "How will you travel to the future? Is it even possible?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrs8lF7a52

1-4 The Pair of Time-Splitting Stones
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4g9vwXUm9
Nagini furrowed her brow again, trying to grasp what Suro was saying.
Her heart wavered. Could he really be telling the truth?
It was hard to believe.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsndCtmxaF
Nagini: "If you really go to the future and join a war against creatures from outer space, what if you're injured? Or worse… what if you don't survive?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIWRQG6xax
Suro rubbed his hands together, grinning that familiar grin. He knew she was worried.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFssBtYdBcK
Suro: "I'll be fine, Nagini…"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubwYTRmZfl
Nagini's bright eyes fixed on him.

Nagini: "If you don't return soon, how will I find you, Suro?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOa3wOuWXn
Suro: "I'll give you one of these. The Time-Splitting Stones come in a pair."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAum54JJoFT
He reached into his pocket and handed her a small, oddly glowing stone.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtpFQim7hY
Nagini took it, holding it tightly in her palm.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZYvh1Xu5Y
Suro: "With that stone, you can go anywhere you want, Nagini."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDUCh8k0NQ
Nagini: "Even follow you into the future?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3BWPklgnJ
Suro: "Of course. You can find me there."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k9QcH0wYr
They both fell silent, staring at the fire as it began to burn low.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvXS53V1Zc
Suro: "Nagini, I'm out of time. I have to leave for the future now…"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOBLDJMg5j
Nagini nodded.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe25EcwUZCS
Suro Gebleg stood, and she rose with him.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi2QN3kouu
Nagini: "How do I use this stone?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffEo6YyBJY
Suro: "Ask your master—Dewa Arak Tujuh Sungai. In your language, that's the 'Wine God of Seven Rivers.'"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3cIdUFJ0H
Without another word, Suro vanished southward in a blur, leaving Nagini standing alone in the cold night a top Mount Dieng.
She turned north, intent on finding her master.

1-5 Dewa Arak Tujuh Sungai (The Wine God of Seven Rivers)
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85eZC8Kjxl
The slopes of Mount Merapi were cold and silent.
The chirping of crickets and the hoots of owls echoed in the darkness, adding to the mystical air.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR80EKtv4xz
The night was pitch black—no stars in sight.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGadkgnLfH
An old man with long white hair and beard sat cross-legged. In front of him sat two earthen jugs, their strong scent of rice wine filling the air.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn50aDWT1BB
Across from him sat a young woman in red—Nagini—her gaze full of curiosity. A campfire burned between them.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6OENSMbaY
Nagini: "Master, I want to know about the Time-Splitting Stone. Can you tell me?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDWza9FjST
Dewa Arak frowned slightly and took a sip from the jug in his hand. The sharp aroma of fermented rice filled the space between them.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10pGXPCaA5
Dewa Arak: "Nagini, the Time-Splitting Stone… it's one of the most powerful objects in the world."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kbJS2UeGg
Nagini listened intently.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLXOcbJoX3
Dewa Arak: "Only a handful of people possess such a stone. Including that rascal of a lover of yours—Suro Gebleg."

Nagini blushed.

The Wine God shifted the white sash draped over his thin frame. Despite the cold mountain air, it seemed enough to keep him warm.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSX273WsOq
Dewa Arak: "With the Time-Splitting Stone, you can travel across space and time—back to the past or forward to the future."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6FrWo3Jju
Nagini: "How does it work, Master?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTgI6ppZ80
Dewa Arak: "It's simple. Hold the stone, and focus your mind on the place and time you wish to go."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1YlaGSOhB
Nagini: "And then?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk5S9cLnZg

Dewa Arak: "It's hard to explain… but meddling with the flow of time is something the mind can't fully comprehend."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g8WLkGDQm
Nagini nodded again, trying to digest his words.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK9YIjoopF

A year had passed since Nagini parted ways with Suro Gebleg, yet her heart still ached with longing.

Suro had been more than just a friend—he had been someone she could confide in, someone she secretly liked.
A year was far too long to be away from such a person.

Beside the sidewalk, traffic was crawling. Horns blared, and people shouted in frustration after a long day's work.
