My favorite part of being the boss was delegating. I think Callie should have done that more, because I didn't see any reason to take all the small stuff on myself. For instance, resupply was not something I had any real desire to learn, so we left it to Celine and Benny. Sure, I had to sit in on...

So, aside from finding myself some knife classes to attend, one of the biggest things to pop up on my to do list was doing a job. Job points could get me more spells, and I found out I could also use them to buy resources or even private lessons with professors. I was NOT going to spend them on r...

I was feeling much better when I woke up. This bed wasn't nearly as comfortable as the one at the Inn, but it was still pretty nice. Sleeping in my armor wasn't ideal, but with my Vitality it wasn't exactly going to give me problems. I got up, stretched a bit, planning to ...

I'd been expecting to be escorted to the king directly buy a bunch of guards, but we only got a retinue of four armored figures to escort us. The closed in around us, silvery armor clanking as they formed a sort of guide box, forcing us to move in a specific direction and not to...

I told Cecily after class what Alec had mentioned about the expedition, and after a discussion we decided we needed to step up our game. We were going to rent one of the training fields and actually try sparring, now that I had a combat spell. Which brought up an obvious question actually. “Hey...

I did NOT ask why the woman who picked us up was blue. It was tough. I was pretty sure she was some kind of elf, and I REALLY wanted to know more about her. Luckily, despite my politeness, I did get those answers, because Celine was kind enough to bring it up. "I find it astonis...

The next day flew by. Aside from combat classes, which were at the end of the day, I had Mana Control and Physical Conditioning (not in that order). Physical Conditioning, or physique for short, was basically a class to stress and improve your body, just like it sounded like.
Physique was s...

We were running. Desperately trying to get to a musician before anyone else. As we ran, I saw dozens of others scattering in all directions. Not everyone. Some of these people either weren't here to enter the Glade or didn't care enough to try being early, because they jus...

My dad was…less than pleased about me hiding the existence of the mining company. He still understood though, and didn’t snap at me over it. He did ask me to take him in to see it, which I did, and when he entered, he was blown away.
“So.” I said wryly. “I take it this isn’t som...

I stared blankly at the other person under the light. A small, doll-like girl with onyx black hair and ruby red eyes, wearing a fancy old fashioned ball gown and smiling gently at me. Smiling just wide enough to show me the fucking FANGS she was packing.

I scrambled back out of my bed, falling to the floor in shock as terror and nausea filled me. I had to stop and breathe heavily for a few minutes to prevent myself from vomiting at the sight of the dead body of someone I had known (however adversarially) for years. I couldn’t stop looking into ...

Since this was a semi-show of force, we weren't wearing gaudy formal wear, instead we got to wear our costumes, which was nice. I was more comfortable in my gear than in most outfits, and not just because of my badass coat. The sense of security from F-ranked armor was pretty ni...

“Now.” Said the pink and blue haired professor. “As most of you know, but our newcomers don’t, my name is Teresa Persephone. I teach the combat magic class in this Guild, and I’m damned good at it. Now, we were early in the term, and I hadn’t covered much more than the basics, but I p...

The next day found me up bright eyed and bushy tailed, ready to take on the world. Well…no, it found me surly and glaring at everyone. But I WAS ready to take on the world, unless the world gave me space to wake up.

We didn't head back to the inn after the Titanblade emporium, as I'd expected, and having money on me to spend I decided to just enjoy it. I bought a giant bacon wrapped turkey leg from a street cart vendor, a small plush doll from Cass's favorite cartoon that would dance if you...
