Path to Prosperity - B1 Chapter 46

The Glacia Knight Captain was going to be Percy’s doom.

No sooner than he joined the knights’ training, Percy was ordered around. The Glacia Knights explained their training regime in great detail and enjoyed watching him suffer as he copied their movement sequences. They weren’t shy ...

The lizard hissed angrily and stomped toward Percy. Its tail smashed heavily onto the frozen ground, breaking it apart.

No matter how I look at this. You are not a lovely Common Monster! 

Percy swallowed hard, not noticing that his clothes were already drenched in sweat....

Cold sweat poured down his temples as he stood there frozen. 

What am I supposed to do now? The Glacia Knights know what is going on… They tricked me.

He trusted the Glacia Knights only to be betrayed. But…why?

Ulfhar cleared his throat and stepped between the ...

The next few minutes felt like an eternity as Ulfhar explained in detail what exactly the Infernal Lair was and how it was used, but Percy was still having a hard time understanding everything.

“You carry a portal to the seven hells, just like that? The army of Archyeas was already troubl...

He didn’t know what to expect to happen, but the Glacia Knights’ reaction was the complete opposite. It was lackluster, for the lack of a better word. Ulfhar and his Glacia KNights asked some questions but also said he didn’t have to answer anything if he wasn’t comfortable.

Forgotten Lands - Temporary Hiatus

Dear Readers,

I've got some news – the current volume of Forgotten Lands is wrapping up soon. It's like reaching the last slice of cake at a party – sad, but also a reason to celebrate!

With a heavy heart (and maybe a tear or two), I will hit pause on Forg...

Ulfhar studied Percy with a calm, knowing smile. He expected to see uncertainty, confusion, and maybe even anger in the youth’s eyes, but all his eyes revealed was his determination to survive no matter what awaited him.

The young Adventures was probably confused and maybe even afraid, bu...

The campfire crackled quietly into the lukewarm evening as Percy approached the others. The Glacia Knights’ smiles didn’t cease, but they got up and scooched over.

“Some space to sit for our suicidal hero,” One of them joked.

Percy smiled wryly but sat next to the Glacia Knigh...

Melissa glanced at Percy and saw the fiery fire in his eyes.

Don’t even think about it.

She channeled mana into her golden ring – her spatial storage – and replaced her wooden wand with a small rod. The rod was barely 30 centimeters long and black like the abyss. Meliss...

The atmosphere tightened as more demonic creatures emerged from the Infernal Lair. The Glacia Knights grit their teeth and brandished their weapons without leaving their formation for a second while Ulfhar looked back to Percy, his eyes narrowed to tiny slits.

Something about the Glacia Knight Captain felt different but to think he has an Ego. I wonder what his Ego does.

Percy eyed Ulfhar, who cursed his subordinate quietly before paying more attention to the small wolf summon. The monster rushed to the carriage and stopped ...

The receptionist was stunned and stared a second too long at the girl. She clicked her tongue disapprovingly and was about to act when the Glacia Knight at the front stepped forward, smiling kindly at the staff. The receptionist sweated profusely, trying to grasp what was going on. His head was r...

That was weird.

Percy’s expression distorted in pain as he got up. He turned in all directions, his lips tightly pressed together. The bodies of the four Adventurers were no more. Not even their blood remained.

Something like that was bound to happen…was there a way t...

Niko regretted everything. From following that naive-looking rookie, thinking he would be easy prey to attacking the rookie even after they’d seen him kill a Gnoll before devouring it. At that time, the darkness consuming the monster carcass didn’t feel dangerous or eerie.

The Bronze Adventurers could have dealt a death blow to Hyean when the Gnoll escaped Niko’s sword with a dive to the side. Their blades glimmered dangerously but didn’t cut too deep into the Gnoll. They didn’t want to kill the summoned monster under any circumstances.

Niko could have ...

Nobody taught Percy how to organize and digest foreign streams of information invading his brain, but it worked somehow. Percy’s understanding of blades, a blade’s trajectory, strengths, and weak points increased quickly. That was only the beginning. Even though Percy had been training a lot ...

“How?” Zayn felt a chill crawl up his spine. Something was wrong. No citizen of Forgotten Lands should be able to tell that they were perfect replications. Not even a Demon King.

Acting tough worked much better than expected. Percy had been nervous and unsure how Erdwin would react, but it looked like behaving confidently was the key to success.

It was just like everyone had expected. Zayn’s root network inflicted more damage to the surroundings than the Demon Horde. Fortunately, nobody complained about the damages. Earth Mages, the Dwarven Artisans, and others could fix the damage caused to the volcano’s insides and Spyro’s walls....

The thought of selling the Monster Card was present. Using [Consume] to gain 25000 Prosperity in a single go sounded like a great deal, but the idea of earning several gold coins for the Monster Card at Erdwin’s shop was even better.

A single flower had been plucked, but that was enough to kill a mature Gnoll. It was more than enough reason to be vigilant but not enough to run for his life. That wasn’t necessary.
