A war between Humans and Demons brewed for over a decade. A brave human "Adventurer" stood in the middle of the fight and the war between humans and demonshas reached its conclusion.

 The brave Adventurer continue his adventure to fight for peace against human and demon to live in peace together. On his way to "Astria"to meet the "Demon King" a Demon Kingdom he met

a beautiful demon, so beautiful that the adventurer felt the so called "Love at first Sight". The adventurer approached the lady demon, and to his surprise the lady suddenly attacked him.

Adventurer: Agh! Calm down I'm not here to hurt you.

Lady: You liar! You humans killed a lot of my kin and you expect me to believe you!?

Adventurer: It's true though, the reason I approached you because I think you're beautiful.(blushing)

Lady: !!!(blushed)

Adventurer: Also I'm fighting for what I believe.

Lady: A-and w-what is that!?

Adventurer: That my kind and your kind can live in peace.(Smiled)

Lady: !!(Turns back and shocked by the adventurers response)

Adventurer: May I know your name?

Lady: The name is "Olivia", and you?

Adventurer: The name is @*!*@!, Nice to meet you Olivia.

Olivia: Hmp! Where are you headed anyway? By the look of it are you trying to go "Astria"?

Adventurer: Yes. As what I've said before I want for us to live in peace, So I want to meet with the "Demon King".

Olivia: (With my father!?) A-ah! Since I'm going back, I'll let you escort me back.

Adventurer: E-eh!? I didn't ask you though!

Olivia: Shut up! Now lets go.(Blushing)

Adventurer: Your kind Olivia. (Look at her and give her a slight smile)

Olivia: Hmp!(Turns around and smiled)

The Adventurer and Olivia started they're journey towards "Astria" the land of the demons. Before they reach Astria they will have to cross through the "lllusion Forest", "The Great Plain", "Sea Flame".

As they are getting nearer and nearer through the Illusion forest, Olivia decided to camp in the middle of the woods for its's hard to continue in the darkest night.

Olivia: Let's settle down here for the night. I believe your big bag is not for a show.

Adventurer: Ha! Of course I'm prepared I won't become an Adventurer if I don't have a simple tent in my bag.(He puts out all of his item out his bag and no sight of tent)

Adventurer: Actually! Seems like I forgot something Mehe!

Olivia: Good sleep outside!

Adventure: W-what!? Will you at least give me something that will fight the cold night. Aren't you worried about me!?

Olivia: Not a chance.

The night goes deeper and darker and Olivia slept comfortably inside her tent, While our greatest hero sleeping in the naked floor shaking. Suddenly a creak from the camp fire awakes Olivia from her good night sleep

She see the adventurer shaking because of the cold. Olivia gets her extra blanket and give it to the adventurer

Adventurer: (Opens his eyes), (You really are kind Olivia).

The morning has come and Olivia woke up shocked as the Adventurer is missing. Suddenly...

Adventurer: Ah! You're awake huh? I found some boar running aroung while I was taking my time to release some of my you know a-ah anyway lets cook it and eat together.

Olivia: Oh! O-okay.

While the adventurer cooking the boar meat Olivia suddenly asks..

Olivia: Do you really think I'm pretty?

Adventurer: E-eh I was just kidding back then I was so scared that you would actually killed me in an insta---. (Olivia knocks his head off)

Adventurer: Sorry I was just kidding I do really think you're Beautiful. And also you're kind for giving me a blanket last night.

Olivia:(Blushes) H-How did you know!?

Adventurer: Oh so this boar gave me a blanket? Thank you boar <3!

Olivia: Shut up, You were shaking last night so I have no choice alright!? Hmp!

Adventurer: Okay okay. Now it's done lets eat (Hands Olivia a piece of boar meat)

The taste leaves Olivia speechless. After they eat they're breakfast the two of them continue in their journey towards the Illusion forest, As they were about to enter the forest a chilling wind gust about them and suddenly Adventurer Stand in front of Olivia to protect her.

Adventurer: What kind of gust was that it's way too cold to be normal.

Olivia: What are you talking about!? That gust gives a very hot wind, are you still sleepy?

Adventurer: W-what!? but I really felt it, It was cold 20x more colder than last night.

Olivia: It doesn't matter this forest is giving you the idea of whats on ahead. Lets go.

Olivia: (Now that I think about it he looks like the Human hero that my father talks about, Strong looking, Brave,kinda handsome, Funny guy, to think that father would look at a human that way he's giving way too much credit but could he be the human hero!?)

Olivia kept her mouth shut about the mystery of the forest

(The illusion forest, some say that this forest lets you see what you really want deep inside your heart so real that you wouldn't say what a dream is from reality).

Without realizing it Olivia has fallen into the illusion. She started seeing what she really wants holding the adventurers hand on their own house, living inside the human city.

While the adventurer seems like the power of the forest isn't enough to beat his focus and will.

Adventurer: H-hey! Olivia I think I'm starting to see what is wrong with this fores-- (He look at Olivia and sees that Olivia has fainted already)

Adventurer: O-Olivia snap out of it it's fake! It's Illusion. I've read about this kind of forest in the book once, And I think this is it.

Olivia: @*!*@! I like you too~~..

Adventurer: Oy wait what kind of illusion are you seeing? Maybe it's not that bad (blushes)

Olivia: S-save our son @*!*@!

Adventurer: W-wait isn't this forest also let the person able to see in the future? Then that means we will got married and do it!?(Nose bleed)

Adventurer: I-if ever we do end up together, Why would I need to save our son, from who? A-ahhh this make things harder just snap out of it Olivia!

The Adventurer finally succeed waking up Olivia by Biting her arm leaving mark of his tooth. Olivia doesn't have a clue about what happened or what she have talked about.

Olivia: W-what happened?

Adventurer: N-nothing(Suddenly hugs Olivia)

Olivia: Oi what are you doing!?

Adventurer: I thought you aren't gonna wake up!!

Olivia: What do you mean?

Adventurer: Idiot! You've been sleeping for the past 5 hours. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW WORRIED I AM!?

Olivia: W-what!? 5 hours? Are you serious!?

Adventurer: Um(Nod)

Olivia: S-sorry for making you worr---- Wait! Where are we!?

Adventurer: I carried you out of that dangerous forest. Who knows that forest gives a person a good dream. W-what kind of dream did you see anyway?

Olivia: A-ah n-nothing!! I just u-mm see that my pet is alive. Y-yea t-thats right!!

Adventure: Whatever you say, so are you ready to continue or do you want to rest?

Olivia: It's still noon we should continue.

Adventurer: Are you sure?

Olivia: Y-yea, Lets go.

The two started to walk together and while walking together Olivia can't forget what she sees in the illusion forest and suddenly her face turns red.

Adventurer: H-hey! Are you really okay!? You face is red!

Olivia: G-Get away from me don't touch me! (Pushes adventurer away) A-ah sorry! It was your fault though for touching me so suddenly.

Adventurer: I'm just worried about you, Your face is red so I thought that there might be something wrong.

Olivia: There's nothing wrong so don't worry.

Adventurer: Hmmm Okay.

While the two of them walking they don't realize that they are already in "The Great Plain" suddenly a Demon Soldier showed up. A bad ass looking Demon soldier.

Soldier: Get away from the princess you filthy human! (Pointing his sword towards the adventurer)

Adventurer: Who are you?(Puts on a stance)

Olivia: Why are you here? Devios!?

Devios: Princess come with me I'll save you from that human!?

Olivia: You don't have to worry he means no harm.

Devios: You bastard you brain washed our princess!?

Adventurer: What are you talking about i didn't do anything, And what do you mean princess is Olivia a princess?

Olivia: I order you to stand down Devios as a princess of Astria put down your sword!

Devios: I won't princess in order to stop you i have to beheaded this human who brain washed you!

Devios suddenly attack the adventurer with a powerful swing but at the moment the sword would reach the adventurer, The adventurer vanished and suddenly appeared behind Devios

with the blade on his neck.

Adventurer: Do you expect you can hit me with that slow power swing?

Devios: You bastard you won't get away with this.

Devios: got angered and starting to concentrate his mana(Magic) on his back. But Olivia didn't stand to watch and started to chant a magic spell.

Olivia: @*!@*!@#!*@!!@#

Adventurer: Olivia what are you trying to do? (A lot of sprite is enveloping her, such extreme Mana control)

Devios: Princess what are you trying to do!? I came here to save you not to harm you.

Olivia: You opposed me? And you're trying to beg for your life? Who do you think you're speaking to?

Olivia: @!#*!@*#@ INFERNO BLAZE!!

The adventurer rapidly jump in front of Devios

Adventurer: Grand Cross!

The two magic spells conflict and cause a great impact leaving the surrounding damaged.

Olivia: W-what how did you block my spell!?

Olivia remembers what his father told him, The hero is very strong despite his attitude his agility is beyond measure only if he was a demon kin i would give your hand to him.

Olivia: So are you really the Hero that my father talks about!?

Adventurer: So you really are a princess huh? That's why you're so pretty haha!

Olivia: Now is not the time to laugh, Answer me!

Adventurer: It doesn't matter now does it? Let bygones be bygones and focus on what is ahead of us.

Olivia: ...... tsk!

Olivia: Devios you are saved by the human you tried to kill.

Devios: I'm so sorry my princess.(Kneels)

After the conflict everyone has settled down looking at the damage they've caused.

Olivia: Seriously just how far have you run while carrying me @*!*@! ? I didn't even realize that we've already arrived in Great Plains.

Adventurer: So you knew the way and you didn't even talk to me about it? You even let yourself go into the Illusion forest even if you knew you can't handle it? What are you doing?

Olivia: Well to be honest I didn't know it would be that bad besides I haven't enter that forest not even once I usually ride my dragon to get past that forest so....

Adventurer: Still why you didn't tell me anything?

Devios: Uhmm.. I'm her---

Olivia: I want to know what you are capable of, that's why i kept my mouth shut and didn't tell you anything.

Devios: Can some one notice m---

Adventurer: Shut up!

Olivia: Shut up Devios!

Devios: ok~~~

Adventurer: So now that we are here? how far do we have to go to reach Astria?

Olivia: We just need to cross in the "Sea Flame" but I won't dare if i were you.

Adventurer: Why?

Devios: Because every human that tries to cross in the Sea Flame got burnt to crisp instantly.

Olivia: That's right my father put a spell on it, it was once a plain blue sea but when the conflict against my kind and your kind started, my father increases its security level for us to be safe at least, that's why my Grandma said.

Adventurer: So there's a way to turn it back to plain blue sea huh? Let's Go!

Olivia and Devios looked at each other confused on what the adventurer is talking about.

@``Kio right dude i read your novel and i have a lot of complaints for one there is tons of grammar and spelling mistakes, please use https://www.grammarly.com/ or something with your writing for a better read.
Secondly i find it to be fairly generic and cringy with a lot of the lines between the hero and the princess being overly done. You need to revise your work and create more creative and interesting prologues, a prologue is supposed to draw someone in and make them want to read further find out more about the story and the world. It had some positives which i'll get to, i found the first quarter to be pretty awful, the 2nd quarter to just as bad then the 3rd and 4th quarter were alot better.
I liked the fight between the hero, princess and devios. You did the combat well, you allowed me to visualize the combat scene as it played out which is something you always want when writing combat in fantasy novels. Devios seems fairly generic in his character but that is not a bad thing having a overly protective assigned protector to the princess has been used in so many stories and it makes perfect sense and is no negative to the story. When you were setting the scene and world building in the prolouge you didn't really grab my attention with the severity of the war you just kind of said, "there's a war here, we should stop fighting." like that. It seems that you're not native english which is going to be a problem if you're going to write in english because it seems like you're unable to tap into a vast vocab of synonms to spice up the story and different phrases and methods to keep things fresh and sharp.

All in all, i applaude your effort in attempting to write a novel, it's not an easy feat, you have lots of room for improvement, and i'll be happy to read your further works and critque as appropriate.
