Eisen sat there, staring down into the arena with a broad grin on his face, struggling to keep down the laughter that his whole body was trying to force out of him, while the grandour next to him looked at Eisen in absolute disbelief. "Does your warrior have no honor whatsoever?! What is this?!" The chieftain of the fire giants asked with an angry expression, and Eisen turned his head toward the man next to him as he softly stroked his beard, "What, there were rules about this battle? You realize that…-

The fight between the gladiator and Bree was not yet over. It had just barely begun. Embarrassed by being overwhelmed like that, the gladiator began to ran forward, holding his shield in front of his body in a way that it couldn’t be pushed to the side. But Bree didn’t care much about that, she figured out her own tactics after analysing this situation sufficiently. Just before the gladiator came into range, Bree had swung her hammer down over her head. It seemed like she was planning not to hit the…

The first fight started rather soon. The warrior chosen by the Grandour didn’t seem to have anything special about him. He seemed quite average, as far as Eisen could tell, and the crowd didn’t go as crazy about him as the old man expected. The Grandour probably planned to have the strongest and most popular fighters go last, for a perfect finale. After inspecting the Giant Warrior, Eisen chose someone from his side that was going to be a good fit against him. He would have the Dragon Knights go…

Eisen laid down in the bed covered by Kirisho’s mist. For one, this would simply obscure Eisen further. Would allow him to get away by shrinking down instantly, without any intruder able to spot him. But it also had another benefit. One of Kirisho’s abilities was a sort of ’Domain’, technically similar to what Eisen’s Demonic Domain was, that she could establish. A domain where she was a lot more powerful for a certain period of time. This ability had an extremely long cooldown, so it wasn’t…

It didn't take long until Eisen and his entourage reached the castle of the Grandour. It was basically just a building carved out of a small mountain. The old man was quite impressed with the craftsmanship, actually. And to his surprise, there were parts of the structure carved out specifically for regular-sized people to traverse as well. At least that's that what it seemed like. Overall, Eisen had been able to see a couple of different regular-sized people around here too, walking along the paths that…

"Hm, it must've been when I was about 10 years old." The elderly Giant explained, "A real toddler, aye? Well, at that point, I had first learned about our 'Limit'. I felt it was unfair, and ran into the forests to change somethin' bout that. Nearly died then, you see?" Eisen looked at the Giant next to him a bit confused, but he let him continue for now, "Kept trainin' for years and years, and then evolved for the first time. Then for the second time, and the third. First I became a Giant Fighter. Then…

Eisen didn't know what these patterns were supposed to be, but he knew that there was some kind of meaning to them. It couldn't just be a coincidence that the pattern that Eisen was subconsciously obsessed with could be found on the coins of the country that he was born in. Maybe he would be able to find something out in the city that they were heading to, something that the Grandour would be able to tell him if he asked. He should know the history of the currency, at least. Or so Eisen hoped. "Is…

Eisen walked through this small town with a curious mind. From his perspective, everything just seemed a little bit weird right now. It looked like he was walking through a normal town, but everything was just a little bit off here and there. For example, just having Askr be the same size as the old man was something weird enough. Otherwise, it was largely because of the grain of the buildings' wood that he saw. The grain of ironbark was at the same level as regular trees', so there was a lot more…

In the distance, a huge gate extended far into the sky. It seemed weirdly otherworldly. But even if that was the case from the perspective of humans, from the perspective of giants, this was nothing but a very rudimentary gate for giants. At its side sat a single giant, casually sleeping in a position where any beast could attack him with ease. It seemed like he was about 10 to 15 meters taller than Eisen right now, meaning that it might be hard to get him to show proper respect to Eisen. After all,…

Eisen continued working on a bunch more items that had been requested to him for the few hours that Girland allowed him to take on requests. He was pretty happy with the items that he had made until now. They were high-quality and turned out perfectly. They were a bit boring and repetitive, sure, but that was fine. The old man kept finishing as many items as he could, and then placed them in the ’delivery packs’, just special spatial gems capable of holding a single small item, and then gave them to…
