"Astonishing…" Speaking to myself while I played around with the artefact that Sander produced. Contrary to the artefacts crafted by Huskarl, the item that I was currently holding didn't resemble a stone in any way or form. Consisting of five layers arranged in a pyramidal pattern, they were held by a simple wooden stand. Just like with the crushing artefact that he prepared to streamline the process of turning the charged stones into stardust, it required a fueling stone to be placed at the bottom of…-

"Your excellency, the party that we sent to the dungeon has returned. From what I heard…" Stepping into the room, the messenger that brought the news quickly stopped talking upon noticing how silent the place was. Looking around, he quickly located the man he was looking for, sitting a fair distance away from Sander's workplace. Even though it was clear that he wasn't doing anything, the focus visible in his eyes was more than enough to stop the courier from bothering the bishop once again. "Leave the…

"So you say you received those stones from your organisation?" Even though with the depopulation of the entire rural areas some rumours have been spreading about how dangerous it was to be outside the city, their return to the nearby train station didn't seem risky at all. With the pleasant weather only improving the mood of everyone as the leaves of the nearby trees continued to rustle gently on the wind, their glorious return seemed more like a pleasant stroll than the end of a deadly expedition. "You…

Contrary to what one could expect from the moment of casting powerful magic, Penne didn't hear any chant nor did he see any flailing of the hands. Instead of doing anything even remotely related to what the young adventurer could associate with a fireball, the leader of the other group simply reached with his hand towards the best… Before a huge ball of raging fires emerged from his hand. Instantly covering the distance between the young man and the powerful monster, once it hit its antlers, what…

"Hurry! On your left!" Shouting the warning, Penne dashed towards his girlfriend. As little as it could do, he brought the modified pistol up the axis of his eyes before sending a cloud of pellets towards the monster. As little as it could do, it bought a few precious seconds for his comadre to regain her foothold and turn around on the monster. Two hits delivered squarely to its core, and the fight was finally over. "Gosh, that was hard!" Falling down on her soft bottom, Keria whined. Yet, even this…

"Fascinating… While it's only a random guess, I need to test something insanely quick." Back in time, when I thought about being a politician or some kind of great personage of the business world, I never imagined how frantic this kind of life could actually be. As soon as the conference with the higher-ups of the faction finished, I was already running towards a small hall that I organised for Sander beforehand. Knowing the results of the testing of the stones in advance, I had no doubts that my idea…

"I can take care of it. One of my sons was bugging me about letting him explore the dungeons with a group of people he was cultivating with. While he is still quite weak himself, I can send some of my mercenaries with him. The only problem is…" Speaking up, one of the officials of my faction clearly hesitated when it came to the troublesome part of his situation. "Go on, my friend. Even if there is someone else willing to take this task on himself, we should know all the prerequisites for each of the…

"I'm not really sure if I should…" For the first time ever since we started working together, Pavlo hesitated before fulfilling my order. But frankly speaking, I couldn't really blame him for it. From his perspective, it most likely looked as if I was just standing there defiantly with nothing to protect myself, while asking him to shoot me. In such a situation, it actually made me pretty happy to see him not reaching for the gun on the table. "Trust me. Do I look like someone who has a death wish? And…

Once the morning proper came, there was no longer time for either of us to slack down in our own company. Just a few minutes after I reassured Ayda that I was stilling willing to go through whatever hardship was necessary to bring her to earth, I was already walking with a bag full of simple but prepared artefacts towards the meeting room back in my mansion. Now, it would be the very first time when I would be the one calling for the meeting. "I'm here!" Suddenly dropping through the doors, Pavlo didn't…

"Out of everything, I just can't wrap my head around this naming sense of yours. Why call the appearance of magic an apocalypse? To be fair, it's slightly problematic for me to imagine a world without magic in the first place, so my opinion might be biased but…" Stopping mid-sentence, Ayda clearly hesitated how to wrap her feelings in proper words. After all, what for her was akin to an important story, was an actual part of life for me. Even though from the very beginning of our relationship when we…
