When Remira eventually came back to the library, she was dumbfounded by the good news. The man that Maxim claimed to be a pain in the ass for him, has chosen to support them and even wishes to catch the killers of his son himself. This was surprising, to say the least, but when she thought about how approachable Maisel was when she first met him, this was to be expected. No one reaches such a high post in the military with strength alone, a good mind over the head is also needed and Maisel was…-

At the moment when the talks were going on between Maxim and Maisel. Remira was busy exploring the city, following the tune of her blood from one street to another. Experiencing different forms of life living their life ignorantly. This is what she liked to do often. The blood of Radiance is not something simple. It has various functions from burning off curses to enhancing the physique of an individual. But among all the abilities it possessed, its most powerful one was to sense things.…

When it was known to the city that a marshall would be visiting it. There were a lot of murmurs. But none knew the reason why he would be coming here. They didn't know about the death of Farhad nor did they know that he was the son of a Marshall. To most that were in the know, he was just some unlucky boy that died and nothing more. But to others, his death was a disaster in itself. "Arrogant," Remira said, looking at the face that resembled Farhad to a fault, with the only exception being the…

There she was, wondering what or who it was that was keeping a watch over her. Her mind wondered. Was it the killer? The man behind it all? She even wondered whether ignoring the individual in that alley was the right thing to do. Who knows, if she had chosen to pursue that individual, many of her answers might have been delivered to her. Even if she failed, she might still have learned something about the enemy at the very least. And she was going to pursue him, but something in her blood told…

"He did say the source was his apartment," Pierta recalled the last words of Farhad and how happy he seemed after pinpointing the cause. But to most, it just seemed like delirious talks of someone dying. They had searched the rooms before and hadn't found any sign of foul play. No curses or supernatural beings were detected. Maxim even went as far as to do a source scan, losing one of his fingers in response. But the result remained the same. Nothing was detected at that moment, which made the…

Let's get back to the time when I came to this wonderful world. There I was stuck in the corpse, ignorant of any spells or knowledge. All I was limited to was this weird man who was spreading oil on the corpses and speaking some prayers. I can feel that my end was nigh, and if I don't do something, this will be it for me. Though, it would seem the world hasn't abandoned me yet. Was it a coincidence or luck, but I heard a familiar voice. The cacophony of rats felt like an aria to my ears.…

Cursed texts or forbidden knowledge, there were many names for it but there was one thing that never changed. The cost of soul. The more you learn the more you give up parts of yourself and to retain the knowledge, one needs to give up parts of their soul non-stop as a payment. It was for this reason that the knowledge about these texts is so hidden and rarely do people ever come across them. But it was not just the test that was forbidden. Certain existences at a higher life level would have similar…

When Farhad's eyes opened once again. He found himself in the same place where the interview was taken by the old man. Sadly, his memories of what happened remained blurry and as he got up from the sofa, he looked for any signs of life. Though, he paused the moment he noticed something familiar. A window with an archaic design. "What is this?" Not recalling the dream he had not too long ago, he only found the Window a bit familiar. And like before, out of ignorance and curiosity, he started to…

A beautiful face for an old man, if Farhad had to say so. But his hollow eyes were what stood out the most, twisting the kind smile into something horrific. Hollowed eyes that felt almost mesmerizing, attracting Farhad deeper and deeper into them. But being someone experienced in all of this, he just shook his head and answered. "Anyone would, after witnessing what happened to others." Farhad was oddly calm in this situation. Though his fear had not subsided in the least. "No need to fear it, they…

The sun rarely shone on the city of Durum. And today was one of those rare moments when the sun for the first time in a while showed its face to the people of durum. Which caused Farhad to wince, but he didn't speak much while walking toward the interview place. The sun in this world is also called the Great Purifier, for it had the power to purge all the corrupted, by just showing its head. But for the magi that dealt with the uncouth and dark forces regularly, the same purifier turned into an…
