Oliver P.O.V.
Do these people have no eyes? How oblivious can he be? Just how special is he? All these questions go through my mind all night throughout the party. Ajax Hearthbound, newly elevated Baron, and a genius of combat yet besides all that there isn’t much there at all.

Not only that but Theron also decided to borrow a horse for a part of the travel as sitting inside a carriage did not suit his massive size. Everyone was more than happy to accommodate the beastkin, especially consid...
2023-12-14 03:35:40 +0000 UTC View PostThe days started to blend together for Ajax following that meeting. He was very busy all day every day from there forward as he attended the Academy.

2023-12-12 03:53:08 +0000 UTC View PostActivating the obelisk didn’t do much more than draw in the last few stragglers, fortunately enough for Ajax those last few stragglers were enough to give him the last push he needed to get to level thirty five.

2023-12-09 04:31:58 +0000 UTC View PostWatching how quickly the prince wiped out all the incoming packs, Ajax knew he still had a long way to go before he got close to his level. That said, the prince would actually be a very good match-up for Ajax if they were even close in power level.
While the prince clearly had more power i...
2023-12-07 02:57:31 +0000 UTC View Post“That was pretty good” Ajax jumped as he didn’t sense the prince at all despite hearing the voice coming from within three feet of him. “Freezing up after you took out the first one was pretty bad but you recovered well.”
“I knew they were cannibals,” Ajax said as he looked at...

Manashaper P.O.V
What sort of monster is this kid? I can’t help but ask myself as I look at him sitting on the side lines drawing in deep breaths. Balthazar is helping Lexi and Anna with the safety precautions before they try their hand at the new mana type so I can focus on Ajax.

“What is going on here?” Balthazar had made his way into the room before Ajax had a chance to answer the headmaster’s question. “I felt some weird mana coming out of here, I thought you knew better than to experiment o...
2023-11-23 01:23:32 +0000 UTC View PostJones’s suggestion was something Ajax hadn’t thought about, not because he forgot but because of the financial impracticality of the idea. Sure monster parts were known to have an extreme value when it came to crafting, their high mana density was renowned, the only issues with the idea was t...
2023-11-21 03:37:23 +0000 UTC View PostAjax started working with Magnetic mana the next day, the only reason he didn’t start sooner was because he had run his mana dry getting it. That night he had gotten some very much needed rest after how tired he had been that morning.
In the following days Ajax started to get a very clear...
2023-11-18 03:34:11 +0000 UTC View PostAjax wakes up the following morning almost as tired as he was when he went to sleep, despite going to bed relatively early and sleeping in; he still feels like his body is moving underwater as he gets out of bed.

2023-10-28 02:56:18 +0000 UTC View PostAjax was shocked by the request. It was at once both something rather basic as well as something annoying.
