Sofia’s guess was that she had to at least kill the guy that had betrayed Aurelia, and maybe the rat that had been crying at his side too. Going so far as to kill them might even be unnecessary, but she had limited time, so straightforward solutions were better. She had other ideas like sitting...
2023-01-07 17:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe cold and moldy basement they had been squatting in for the last eight days was terrible, but it was still better than the storm outside. Even so, they would have to walk all the way to the church if they wanted food. And they had to go there late at night, in the dark, under the pouring rain....

Fuck!
Ah… No time…
Up above the water, mana was fluctuating wildly, Orvod had not been waiting idly while she prepared her next move. And with the man’s annoying tendency to create deadly constructs out...
2023-01-05 18:45:25 +0000 UTC View PostSofia was fleeing as fast as she could, she had left the mountains in a few long jumps, and was running through the flat wheat fields at breakneck speed. Orvod flew about as fast as she ran, tailing her a hundred or so meters behind, his eight remaining stone lotuses in tow. He had taken two larg...
2023-01-05 18:30:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe orange robed man wasn’t as unaware; he glanced at the duke again, narrowed his eyes, and before Sofia could react, the stone platform the hero stood on retracted into the wall, bringing him along. His form sank into the stone wall, magically melding with it. Looks like when I summon the...

Despite the strange status, Sofia was cautiously optimistic about the result of her madman act. As far as she c...
2023-01-04 17:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostThe ritual’s instructions were quite simple. The basics had, after all, already been laid out in the pages before the skeleton summoning ritual.
The 'Sabbath of the hollow heart' had been inscribed in gold in the back cover of the grimoire, and Sofia had very vivid memories of the mad thi...
2023-01-03 17:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostHe tried his best not to show it, but the duke had been the most surprised at Aurelia's sudden change of personality. He had known the princess for a long time.
Sofia could tell that him silently approving of her decision to take leadership was in great part why the mercenary group was so c...
2023-01-02 19:31:05 +0000 UTC View PostIt was easy to dismiss the [Princess] class as just another weak, non combat class, like most civilians' classes. But in the eyes of someone like Sofia, it was all but weak. In essence, [Princess] was a supporting class. A Ruling class.
And it was all thanks to a single ski...
2023-01-02 19:01:17 +0000 UTC View PostThe carriage was nothing but an empty wooden trailer pulled by two horses. Still better than walking in these robes. To Sofia’s surprise, they had started moving right away, leaving the duke and the woman named Jen behind. They were slowly but surely getting away from the royal palace,...

Same ol' story. A hundred patrons is well worth some more of my time, right. Long day ahead for me, it's all worth it though, look at how far SSS climbed on Royal Road, still feels completely unreal. And you're all no small part of it....

It’s been a full week!
Sofia was dying from boredom and anxiety. She was a powerless captive yet again, and there was nothing she could think of to get out. Nothing happened besides two meals coming in every day. At this rate she could already see hers...

The door opened for the person with no problem. Guess it doesn't lock from the outside.
A tall and handsome redhead stormed into the room, his disheveled clothes did nothing to hide his lean muscles. He...

Before today's chapter comes out in a few minutes, I wanted to ask your opinion, which will 100% influence how the story goes going forward.
Essentially, I have had some feedback that the story was going too slow, especially the...

There's so many of you already! I think 50 people supporting me is well worth a small level up, no? I would give more if I could, but I also like to sleep more than 4 hours a night, so that will have to be it for now, expect a fresh ne...

But the scenery wasn’t what they had expected it to be.
The Seofen islands were supposed to be three small islands neighboring the towers; they hosted a few villages that lived off of fishing and trading....

The Siren Queen revealed herself as she plunged down onto them. Half fish, half bird, she was a four winged abomination with a short curved beak on its fish head and a long trailing eel like tail flailing around. The m...

2022-12-29 15:19:43 +0000 UTC View PostZarrow didn’t wait for the girls to react and was already transforming into a man of wood, fusing with the ship’s boards.

2022-12-29 15:05:33 +0000 UTC View PostSofia couldn’t help herself from identifying every person she walked by. About every pedestrian was either an ‘artisan’ or a ‘laborer’ with an average level around five or so. Kids didn’t identify as anything. The only outlier for now was a man in his twenties making a show of playing...
2022-12-29 15:04:35 +0000 UTC View PostCrossing the border was uneventful. The villages close by had been evacuated, likely due to the growing conflict between the kingdom and the empire.
