Roland
As Roland watched the two men fight, he felt really small. They were outside the new capital, next to a large lake about 500 kilometers away from the center of the continent, and Shadow thought it would only be a couple minutes until the System recognized him as ruler of the planet, ...

Mila didn’t know how to feel. On the one hand she'd wanted this proposal for a couple years. On the other, Aalam had just brutally tortured someone she’d been trying to make a friend; was not in his right mind, making the entire proposal pretty much invalid; and, instead of showing...

After sliding to the floor of the room, Mila just sat there for a full two minutes doing nothing. For one, she was in pain. Aalam had thrown her quite hard, and she was a bit out of it as a result. But the more important reason was she didn’t know what to do.

“Okay.” Aalam sounded impatient and Isaiah was feeling the same way as they both looked at Mila, her hand still on the Shadow Thief’s ring. “Is the last item what I think it is? You’ve been describing everything else for over ten minutes now.”

The second secret room contained a grand total of 47 Legendary grade or higher skill orbs, but only 9 were for F ranks, most of the rest for G ranks instead, and there was only one Heroic grade skill among the 47, a D rank farming skill. Of the nine F rank skills, two were copies of th...

“So, even if you are up against a C rank, the System has a loophole to allow your master to protect you from soul possession?” Isaiah sounded confused as he worked to roast monster meat in one of the fire pits of the Gale Clan’s former camp, looking to Mila, who’d just told him...

While sitting crosslegged on the ground and trying to cycle his qi to remove the effects of the powder the leader of the Kindar Raiders had thrown at him, Isaiah saw Prince Tomin exit the inheritance. The man didn’t try to talk to him, however, and just curled up in a ball on the g...

“Treasure!” Aalam looked around the inheritance’s warehouse like a child in a candy store, the expression on his face one she hadn’t seen since their last vacation, when they’d gone on a helicopter ride over the grand canyon.
“What’s that?” He pointed to a pile of...

Mila was feeling a lot of emotions, but the biggest one was disgust. She didn’t consider herself a particularly moral person, and her powers, while incredibly useful, would make the way she fought unethical to many, but what the Shadow Thief’s soul fragment and the Kindar Raiders h...

Mila walked with her group down a stone corridor and then down a spiral staircase about 120 meters. At the bottom was another nondescript stone corridor and this led to another large room which Mila calculated was directly under the entrance to the inheritance.

Mila watched Aalam level up and felt a bit dirty.

Aalam had never seen Mila truly work before. Sure, when he was in the Id state she’d guided him through killing a fake family so he could gain access to the father’s alchemy lab, but he hadn’t paid attention to what she was doing in her own instance of the tutorial. And, sure, h...

Aalam was angry and very, very confused.
