"The fireworks appeared to have been a great success," Leo remarked.
"Oh, did you get a glimpse of them after all?" Elda grinned.
"Yes, I was watching from the tower," Leo replied. He grabbed a bowl of potato salad and scooped some onto his plate.
"I doubt you could take in any ...

He's just like Elda and Jarvis.
I asked a few servants for Leo's location and was informed he was in his workshop, tinkering away on something.
I suppose it's because of his curiosity that he's attained a level three skill in reverse engineering at such a young age. Perhaps Elda and J...

"Young master Luca, is there anything you need assistance with?" Remlend's voice sounded as I exited the carriage.
I sighed.
One would think I'd have gotten accustomed to his abrupt appearances by now, even expected ones such as this. However, he still startled me every single time.

"Ah, the fireworks show has ended." I gazed up at the empty blue sky.
I was a bit disappointed to have missed the end of it, but I was fortunate to have seen most of it already.
"I wonder who created them," Grandov mused behind me.
Turning around, I couldn't help but grin at his...

"Get in," Ridley commanded.
A black Frey carriage arrived behind him, and he unceremoniously hurled Fin inside. I jumped in right after them, not wanting to be tossed in a similar fashion.
With the carriage door securely closed, Ridley's unsettling gaze fixated on me once more. "I don...

Grandov's eyes were fixed upon the vivid streaks of red and yellow, spread across the the blue sky.
BOOM!
Another explosion followed, and a second colorful flower blossomed above the city's towering buildings.

Four seconds.
That's how long one cube, with sides the length of one leg, took me to get into the Game Store. Another second went toward positioning myself for the next cube after falling with the prior cube's disappearance.
Each cube differed in size slightly, depending on the consis...

"Tch, how disappointing," Sedna's mother mumbled as the golden drape was flung off the final mage's box.
Sedna looked at her mother, curious.
"Were you originally hoping to acquire that mage?" Sedna asked.
Her mother hadn't bid or made a comment regarding any of the prior mages....

Hello. So, I’m not happy with how this chapter turned out. I considered to just post it, as I tend to overthink things and in the past the chapters I overthought on landed well with readers… but I wrote it while suffering from a migraine and this is a pretty important chapter in the novel. I ...

"I hope this doesn't sound strange." I smiled at her. "But you're an Awakened, aren't you? That's why you came here, isn't that correct?"
