Although Esdras knew that his rise in power was bound to attract suspicions he thought it was over already. And yet it looks like the issue was not easy to brush off to the point that an important figure got involved. Evidently Esdras was not concerned that they would find anything against him, his possession of this body wouldn't get exposed with the investigation methods of this low level world. Furthermore, Esdras already completed his assimilation to this body and the spirit of the original host…-

Esdras was jolted from his bed by the sound of loud and insistent knocking on his door. He frowned, wondering who could be calling on him so aggressively in the middle of the day. Even his friends wouldn't behave like this unless there was an urgent situation. Celine was playful but not annoying, it couldn't be her. As he stood up from his desk and made his way to the door, he couldn't help but feel a sudden sense of foreboding. The knocking continued, louder and more insistent than ever, until he…

The orcs were waiting for this moment of chaos desperately and weren't actually as lazy and careless as they seemed. In fact the majority of them had their armor and weapons in hand, their lines formed in what seemed like and instant and just as the orcs were gearing up to take the city once and for all something fell from the sky. It was a massive boulder that instantly crushed dozens and dozens of orcs that were in battle formations, but that was not all, great amounts of oil spilled out of the…

Belkazack changed his tactics, sending wave after wave of orcs to hammer the walls and test their strength. The defenders hold off the wave long enough denying access to orcs and preventing any further damage. The orcs rage at the walls, trying to smash them down with no luck. With their failure to breach the walls. The orc army begins the siege, Belkazak gives the orders to attack and five trolls step forward. Five imposing figures emerged from the orc army, eyes gleaming with malevolent intent. In the…

During the age of the golden empire many scholars and mages dedicated their lives to studying the elves. Everything about them, from language to culture and religion. Unfortunately their knowledge died with the destruction of the empire and the endless wars resulting after that. Many attempted to restore the knowledge which the world had lost back then but the results were underwhelming to say the least. Today scholars are still trying to put the pieces of lost history together, including the elves,…

"Yes, I think that sounds great. Thank you very much." Esdras was not an idiot to waste such a great deal so he stood up immediately and accepted right there and then. He wouldn't get a better offer than this from anyone else. Some might think of it as sneaky, others, would say much worse about him for using the weakness of the Crimson faction to his advantage but he didn't care. This is how life works, while he used them they also made use of him. But he didn't think it was anything to get worked up…

Although the entire Sarifal region is under the control of the Octarine tower, it was not the only magic force within said region. There are a few organizations that call Sarifal their home as well, naturally they all exist as vassals to the Octarine tower and pay tributes, taxes and respect to the tower in return for protection. … and for being allowed to continue existing, of course. But that was just a minor detail. One of these organizations was the college of the Purple hand. Their headquarters…

At first Esdras aimed to become an alchemist. His plan was almost perfect. But life is not that convenient. Alchemists were respected, and admired within the medical community, because of their ability to create mana potions. Most importantly, they had an irreplaceable value. Low supply and high demand. It would make sense for him to aim for this position, not only because of the previous reasons, but also because it was a gold minting machine. It would be a perfect place for him to sell the potions he…

The noble houses on the border of the wild lands lost their past glory along with the majority of their holdings. Throughout the years they lost their dignity and were mocked as country bumpkins by high society. Right now they were a shell of their former selves so how could they have the resources to launch another campaign into the wild lands? It was possible that many things have changed since he was back there in the Kazzat kingdom. After all, he was just a child no more than 11 years old before he…

It was just telekinesis. The negative energy gathering technique was going to become very useful. As long as he had enough negative energy, he would have access to three abilities. Telekinesis, possession and illusion, casting. Of course he had to have enough negative energy first before anything else. The effect of these abilities might be very weak at first glance, because even at the strongest level that he could achieve in theory, it would be hard to cast an illusion against a creature of a similar…
