Aldrich decided to collect the material spoils next time, for now he returned back to the base and practiced the twenty eight sword forms diligently. He might not agree with Gazeff but he trusted Ayemon and Ayemon chose Gazeff as his mentor for a reason. This meant that Gazeff knew better than him by all rights and Aldrich decided to act on that belief. So he might as well take the time to work on those moves. Gazeff had no reason to cheat him and even if he did, eventually everything will be clear…-

Aldrich retreated back towards the town vigilantly, he didn't dimiss the possibility that the Grappler might have pretended to withdraw to lower his guard. What he saw from the monster indicated that it was capable of such trickery. After a while and when he got close to the town Aldrich realized that he was returning empty handed and sighed in disappointment. He had hoped to make a few extra coins today but things just didn't go his way. He also didn't regret not fighting the Grappler just now, he…

The novel will get featured on cheering reads starting today. Thank you all for the support. Also if I can get some feedback on the action in the last few chapters that would be great. **** Aldrich didn't know what to say.

In a radius of more than twenty meters the land had turned into a putrid swamp of death. Corrosive purple acid burned through the trees and wild life in the surroundings to an unfamiliar place. Only a few moments ago Aldrich was still in a forest-like area where dense trees and wild grass grew everywhere. But in a matter of a few minutes the world seemed to have been turned upside down. He could see the carcasses of some monsters that were taken out in the blast, he couldn't recognize any of them for…

The fire birds collided with the Necrotic Hawk and released several small explosion in their wake. The impact pushed the Hawk some distance away. A smoke screen resulted from the attack which allowed the injured man to escape a good distance away. But he was limping and bleeding badly from several holes in his body. If he wasn't a Crestmaster and a Knight he would have died long ago, the mangled flesh made it easy to see the bones. He was riddled with several such wounds. After a moment a radiant light…

This served as a wake up call for Aldrich. Until now, most of his understanding of Crestmasters has been superficial. Even when he learned from Krynt's books he mostly dismissed the deaths of Crestmasters as unlucky accidents. Deep in his mind he had a belief that Crestmasters were somewhat invincible and infallible. This couldn't be helped as the common sense understanding of Crestmasters was that they were simply out of reach. However that was far from the truth. Crestmaster were powerful,…

Aldrich opened his eyes and rubbed his face where he felt the sting, he found blood drops. It wasn't his blood and neither was it Gazeff's, it was that monster. The moment before it touched Gazeff, he swatted it off casually. Aldrich didn't see what happened clearly but he could infer it. The monster vanished after being casually swatted by Gazeff, Aldrich looked around for its corps but he didn't have much hope to find it. Because he wouldn't be surprised if that thing just turned into…

Even after he made it out of the academy he was a little pissed off about the earlier misunderstanding. However it was still better than being suspected by Sidney for not knowing something obvious like that. This way he managed to avoid a close call in exchange for an awkward conversation so this was actually the better outcome. Aldrich thought to himself that he needed to be careful with his words now that he had entangled himself in a complex web of lies. Aldrich got off the public carriage at the stop…

"If we were to talk about most natural dungeons in existence or that have existed in the past, then we are talking about dungeons before the second and third cataclysm. As is widely known the dungeon mutation phenomena started after the second cataclysm but what is mostly overlooked is that the phenomena didn't go out of control until the third cataclysm, commonly known as the Age of Dread." At this point one of the students in the front seats raised her hand and after getting a nod from the professor,…

Aldrich waited for a good minute before he continued on his way to the base. He wasn't going to repeat his mistake from last time he wasn't about to enter a losing fight for no reason. He had a successful hunt this night and he wasn't going to throw it away for a few more orbs. Aldrich returned back to the base and willed his body not to fall apart. He took another coin pouch and filled it with ten silver coins, he needed money more than ever these days and his expenses were only going to increase. Name:…
