As I held the piece of paper in my hand, I had to try not to laugh. I didn’t want Zeke thinking that I was making fun of him but… his idea seemed somewhat preposterous. Like it had come straight out of a children’s fairy tale. “So… this is like a treasure map?”
Zeke sighed. “I...
2025-09-05 10:03:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe time had come which I had been eagerly anticipating - rewards were being handed out for people’s contributions during the war!
It turned out that Lance was very generous with the reward he had given me - one hundred thousand Denarii. The bulk of it was because I had saved his son, but...
2025-08-29 10:03:01 +0000 UTC View PostEveryone in the city was waiting for the raiding party to come back successfully, and the next week, they did return successfully indeed; thankfully with minimal casualties. The raiding party had wide smiles on their faces as they walked back into the city triumphant.
They recounted how the...
2025-08-22 10:03:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe sudden shift in tone was something I was not prepared for. He had gone from being nice and gracious to being furious in the span of what seemed like a sentence. “I- I don’t follow. Lie in what regard?”
“Where you come from,” he said with a cold hiss. “I know for a fact that ...
2025-08-15 10:03:02 +0000 UTC View PostNow that our first line of defense, the Rank Three offensive spells had been exhausted, it was time for us Rank Three Liberomancers to try what other means we had with our mana exhausted.
“Summons!” came a shout from Drake, signifying that the time was ripe.
I had used up my Rank ...
2025-08-08 10:03:01 +0000 UTC View PostA severe flood might be worse than even the threat of the dryad invasion - because there was at least something that could be done about the dryad invasion from a Liberomancer’s perspective.
A flood however, was more difficult to deal with even with magic. I hadn’t seen a spell that was...
2025-08-01 10:03:02 +0000 UTC View PostDrake contemplated my question regarding spirits. “Personally? No,” Drake said. “The humans-” he began before remembering who he was talking to. “I mean, the humans of this city seem to think that all the spirits, at least most of them, left the mortal realm when Goddess Serragnin ascen...
2025-07-25 10:03:01 +0000 UTC View PostAnyway, whatever it was that Drake was getting at, it was likely nothing compared to the problem currently at our doorstep.
Yes, it had been a big security breach that those two demonic Liberomancers had managed to worm their way into the city, but they were small fry compared to the dryads...
2025-07-18 10:03:01 +0000 UTC View PostAlongside the two of us, some other Liberomancers who had effective spells over water also unleashed theirs.
While not all of the dryads died from this assault, they were scattered all over the place and their attempt to storm the city was thwarted.
A few stragglers did get past our o...
2025-07-11 10:03:01 +0000 UTC View PostDrake nodded. “That is good - but do get some rest at some point. This siege isn’t going to last a few hours or even a few days, but weeks if not months - it’s important that we all pace ourselves so we don’t all collapse out of exhaustion.” I thought his tone had a strange condescendin...
2025-07-04 10:03:01 +0000 UTC View PostEven though things weren’t as crazy as they were before when it came to work, I knew that it was wrong of me to impose on Granny Qi for much longer.
As it was, a few days later, her entire village had turned up at the city gates. Since they were closer to the city than other villages, the...
2025-06-27 10:03:01 +0000 UTC View PostJiah Pei waved off his own suggestion with that throwaway comment, but I had a feeling that he had been serious when suggesting it. That he really would consider that kind of alliance if she was still unwed.
Was that the only reason that Jiah Pei had wanted to invite me? Because he saw me a...
2025-06-20 22:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostWith that settled, the conversation now shifted to other things like the assignment of roles and allocation of other resources during the siege.
In the middle of this I had a question and raised my hand. It was how the others had been asking questions up till now, though this was a first fr...
2025-06-16 01:35:44 +0000 UTC View PostThe only other fields that were easy to specialize in, or so I’d heard, were healing - which was something that you basically had to have specialists in no matter which country you were in given the necessity and importance of healers, and summoning - these were Liberomancers who specialized in...
2025-06-16 01:34:41 +0000 UTC View PostI walked out of the guild once the lesson was over - about twenty percent of that lesson had been worthwhile in the sense that it was something I’d forgotten or was new to me, so at least I could say that I had gotten something out of it.
Also, I had to admonish myself a little. I had loo...
