Decent chance. This was a vague description compared to the other talents scores up till now, but that was the extent of the information available to Esdras. As for grade 7 talent? He knew even less, it was just speculation that Master mages were talents of this level. When someone once asked the sub tower master, a Great mage in her own right what she thought about this issue she answered that 'becoming a Master mage depended on a chance'. She refused to elaborate further. What about grades 8 and 9?…-

Esdras closed his eyes and experienced the changes going throughout his body for a while. He felt the 'vigor' that appeared in his body, he could feel that it was concentrated in the center of his chest. It was a strange feeling. Esdras had read and heard about Vigor knights many times. In fact Vigor knights could be considered a new concept in Arandos. While mages existed since the end of the age of myth and the fall of the elves more than four thousand years ago. Vigor knights only started developing…

Esdras thoughts raced, he rolled out of the way of the spear and while still on the ground he kicked it in the knee. While it lost balance kicked the second knee and climbed over it. He was about to stab it to death when he realized that he lost his sword when he rolled out the way. The Troglodyte started struggling and attempted to throw him off, in response he punched it in that reptilian face. Once, twice, thrice and then a whole barrage of punches, blood splattered on him and his own hands…

To be honest it was also creepy, finding strange knowledge in your head out of the blue. But hey, he transmigrated to a different world, what else couldn't happen? More importantly he had to assess his current situation. He pulled on the corpse of the dead Troglodyte and dumped it in one of the empty cells. He was afraid that blood would alert other monsters here, in any case moving it wouldn't stop the smell but it will give him some time to get to somewhere else. Since this was pretty much the…

Esdras closed his eyes and braced for the impact, however he just landed with a soft thud unexpectedly. He was prone on his back so as soon as he recovered from the shock he shot back up in alarm. He looked around and found himself in a cavern, the walls of the earth were carved into rooms like the kobolds did to the trees only these were prison cells. Some of the walls had had torches on hangers so it wasn't exactly dark but dim. Some of the cells had their iron bars broken and others were still…

Esdras wanted to refuse outright, he was basically being treated as fodder. But he couldn't dispute the fact that he couldn't help in collapsing the cave. "… fine but tell me in detail how the plan will work." Bran scratched his head, "your constant questions are annoying as fuck. It's simple you attack, kill a kobold or two and then run over here get into the cave then turn around and get out, at that point we will do the hard work and collapse the cave." Esdras was usually a calm person and since…

Esdras collected his tent and took out his copy of the map. They were handed to them after the briefing yesterday so they won't get lost. Naturally they didn't leave behind a horse because they were not suitable for the forest terrain, these areas were thick with growth and vines. He picked up the pace, it he was late they could use that to make him look bad to the True mages, it was something he wanted to avoid for now. Following this map would have been difficult if he didn't get the memories of the…

"As everyone here knows while his Eminence the court mage and the Great mages hold the capital we have been tasked to reinforce fort Kuzdin which is responsible for sending rations along this route." Senior Ron continued, "but due to the constant attacks we received since we stepped foot in this unsightly forest our pace had slowed down considerably. So you will be sent ahead to clear the way for us. Any questions?" Esdras could see than many people had questions and even protests to this order but they…

They must have heard him laugh and that alerted them that someone was here. "What are you laughing out loud for? And on your own too?" One of the goons around Robert sneered at him. "Maybe he lost his mind after Robert taught him a lesson." Sam, Robert's right hand piece of shit, snickered like a hyena. The group then started to spread around the area in a half circle slowly. Esdras stayed silent but his hand grabbed the hilt of his sword. "Oooh~ what's this? You've got a sword? The little brainless…

Calvin looked confused but he still answered, "sure, I'm interested in gold." "Great, how much for your Vigor breathing technique?" "I… can sell it for ten golden coins," Calvin wanted to say something but he hesitated, "to tell you the truth, lord mage, it's of no use to you. If you don't have the talent for it then it's just a strange way of breathing." Esdras knew that of course, but he was still appreciative of his honesty. Vigor breathing techniques were not a very big secret or anything like…
