Barbara was sitting in her room, bored out of her mind. She made the mistake of promising someone from her class that she would go to a party … but she was not in the mood. After the day she had at work, she wasn’t in the mood.
Unfortunately, it was also the reason why she was sit...
2023-12-22 21:13:35 +0000 UTC View PostShe said nothing as she dragged me to a huge bedroom and threw me to her bed. More daring than I was used to, but the speed she was able to throw me suggested that Elsana liked having control in the bedroom.
I was more interested in the speed she climbed onto the bed right next to me,...
2023-12-21 20:49:21 +0000 UTC View PostI ignored the gazes of the others as we walked out of the Arena, Elsana walking next to me. She said nothing until we arrived at a carriage, which was more luxurious than the room I rented at the inn.
There was a maid inside, waiting for her, but she made a gesture to send her away, l...
2023-12-21 20:48:44 +0000 UTC View PostLinnayin looked unhappy about the way Falhaner spoke, but I caught her gaze and shook my head, asking her not to push it. I was very happy about the minor insult she delivered.
More importantly, the System made it clear that she was considerably stronger than Linnayin when it came to ...
2023-12-21 20:48:18 +0000 UTC View PostFinding a place to live was easier than I expected. After all, while we made some enemies, enough to blacklist us from the inns, it required our followers to follow us and alert the places in advance. Disguising ourselves before getting a room in a cheaper inn had been easy.
I left Pe...
2023-12-21 20:47:53 +0000 UTC View PostIt didn’t take long for me to realize I managed to jinx myself, because when I arrived back at my inn, I only came across the small luggage I had purchased, and Pearyin waiting for me with a sad expression on her face.
“What’s going on?” I said with a frown.
“We...
2023-12-21 20:47:28 +0000 UTC View PostAfter seeing Elsana’s Apothecary, I had some expectations for Lannayin’s forge, expecting to find another walled compound, filled with a small army of disciples and servants. The location of it, near the center of the city, didn’t change it.
To my surprise, I found a sole, almos...
2023-12-21 20:46:58 +0000 UTC View Post“Now, the first thing about the Forest Dance technique is the basic stance,” I said as I put my hand on her back, and she shivered. Of course, what I called Forest Dance was the mixture of Judo and Aikido that I could remember, modified through my newfound combat talent.

2023-12-21 20:46:31 +0000 UTC View PostI woke up when my bed partner started stirring.
Another benefit of martial arts skills, a couple of hours of sleep was enough to feel refreshed, as long as I didn’t push myself too much with martial techniques and deplete too much essence.
Then, I looked at the beauty in...
2023-12-21 20:46:05 +0000 UTC View PostHer gasp turned even more beautiful as I stood up and she took the full view of my nude body. I had worked hard to sculpt it to perfection even before my arrival, and my martial abilities helped me to look even better. Even the other martial artists didn’t have a body as sculpted at me, because...
2023-12-17 21:16:53 +0000 UTC View PostThere was another hot bath prepared in my room. A nice touch. My excessive generosity was showing its benefits.
I didn’t expect a knock on the door barely half an hour later. “Your books are here, young master,” the waitress said. “May I come in?”
“Yes, come in...
2023-12-17 21:16:22 +0000 UTC View Post“… and that’s how I found my way through the forest,” I said, finishing another tale that I had shamelessly plagiarized from the stories.
“Another amazing tale,” Lannayin said as she downed another glass, her words slurring slightly, enough to show that she had been enjoyi...
2023-12-17 21:15:57 +0000 UTC View PostAfter the first poem, there were several other gifts from the crowd downstairs, but I had turned them categorically, which made the first two older ladies even more smug. After all, they were the only ones that had been ‘given face’ while the others failed.
Of course, that was on...
2023-12-17 21:15:30 +0000 UTC View Post“It’s shocking just how good it feels to finally be clean, and slept in a proper bed,” I said even as I checked myself in the mirror, making sure nothing was out of order. The first set of clothing I had ordered arrived while I slept, and now I was about to go out.
It was barely...
2023-12-16 15:47:22 +0000 UTC View PostI found an opportunity to change into a clean set of clothes. Dressing as a poor villager was safer when I was traveling, but a young scholar was safer in the city. Not to mention, it would allow me to get in contact with people with higher cultivation.
I also buried the Tiger Fist Ma...
2023-12-16 15:46:55 +0000 UTC View Post“Thank you for all the free food,” I said as I bowed at her, then turned, ready to leave. Her panic was too thick for her to just worry about me. They were clearly here for her. I didn’t know the story between them … and I didn’t have the time to ask that.
“It was a pleasu...
2023-12-16 15:46:15 +0000 UTC View PostHi, guys. I also published the first chapter of Immortal Freeloader here, with more to come.
I would be very glad if any of you could leave a review. It's very important for my success as a writer. Just a minute of your time, but It'll help me greatly.
“… and, you need to be really careful about how to hold your knife. Never let your finger leave on the path of the blade. Always pay attention to the fire,” Marana, the mysteriously strong food stall owner explained as she tried to teach me to cook.

2023-12-15 16:10:30 +0000 UTC View PostI returned to Dumassa the next morning, after spending the entire night reading the Tiger Fist manuscript dozens of times, focusing on Initiate and Muscle Reinforcement sections, trying to see if there was a way to detect others and hide my ability.
A significant time investment, but ...
2023-12-15 16:09:22 +0000 UTC View Post“Well, it was not a bad haul,” I said as I looked at another town. It was a week away from Dumassa with a walking pace, but I arrived it late afternoon … and that was with stopping by every caravan and traveler group on the way for begging.
Not all of them gave anything, and the...
2023-12-15 16:09:00 +0000 UTC View PostWhen the dawn arrived, I was still reading the book. I had understood every word easily despite the unfamiliar, complicated style of writing that put Chinese and Japanese to shame — based on my very limited understanding — but that didn’t make understanding the fighting technique described ...
2023-12-15 16:08:36 +0000 UTC View PostAs I walked toward the town, I decided on a simple role. A young man who decided to travel to escape an arranged marriage. I was handsome enough for it to be believable, and an overprotective family was the best excuse I had for any big mistake.
Hopefully, it would be still enough to ...
2023-12-15 16:08:07 +0000 UTC View PostThe caravan I noticed at a distance wasn’t too large. Eight carts, each pulled by a pair of oxen and driven by one person, and two people on horseback with swords in their belt, clearly guards. It was filled with bags that looked like grain, but I didn’t care about their trade product.

2023-12-15 16:07:42 +0000 UTC View PostI started moving at dawn, feeling more relaxed and stronger than I ever felt, moving toward the nearest village even as I tried to come up with an ideal way to introduce myself to a bunch of strangers.
A way that simultaneously showed that I was best left untouched, yet was not a thre...
2023-12-15 16:07:09 +0000 UTC View PostI didn’t want to move, but think about what had happened. However, if there was one useful habit I had gained from my time as a student-athlete, that it was always better to be moving.
However, first, I consumed the pill she had given me. I didn’t expect it to be poison for two re...
2023-12-15 16:06:40 +0000 UTC View PostIt was a dark day, a thunderstorm was wreaking havoc outside my windows — well, technically, not my home, but the home of the beautiful lady that was currently being intimate with — but the warmth off the hug I had been enjoying had been interrupted by a beeping sound.
“Oh, no! ...

“Please, no, sir,” she gasped, trying to sound distressed rather than aroused … a challenge she failed spectacularly. “I need this job. Maybe we can pretend that it didn’t hap...
2023-12-09 04:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe rest of the morning passed without a notable event, and I was prepared to leave for lunch when there was a hesitant knock on the door. I invited them in.
It was Umi, with a tray with my lunch order.
“Welcome,” I said as I watched her take a step forward, taking in ...
2023-12-09 03:55:01 +0000 UTC View PostI was whistling in a satisfied manner as I returned to the office, feeling calm, glad that my little adventure with the owner’s daughter hadn’t turned into a crisis. She didn’t even call me, which was a happy occasion.
