"W-what about him?" Gina asked, voice trembling when Rodrick's sharp eyes went to her. Rodrick grinned and looked at Gina under the bridge of his nose. "If you want to bring him along, then go ahead. It's on you if he dies, though." Gina hid behind Felix and trembled, chin crumpling and eyes full of tears. "D-don't mind about me," Martus sat on a chair and took a deep breath. "I'll just be a hindrance." "I'll take him out," Felix said. "Not you, brat," Edgar spat and pointed at Gina behind him.…-

I took a quick look over my shoulder and found Soarsie talking to herself. Based on the blank look on her face, she didn't notice me peeking at her. I heard her say 'NOT, yet' mouth twisting in a grimace. I didn't know what her deal was, but I sensed that it wasn't good. Something was off about her that I couldn't quite put a finger as to what. To begin with, her magic was already off, and her attitude of not helping and just hiding in her shadows made me feel irked. I got to admit. But as she…

My snickers were drowned together with the others. Lancelot's comebacks were sharp as his words, and they cut deep. A vein pulled the tightness of Rodrick's face. He raised his hand, and I was so sure that he would swing that force into Lancelot's face but managed to pull back at the last minute. The fury on Rodrick's face was replaced by a daring twisted smile. "Count your luck. I'm in a good mood today. I can fail you," he gave each one of us a hard look, "all of you. But since I'm a fair man, I will…

As soon as the fallen goblins became aware of our presence, they shouted, "Intruders!" to alert their comrades, and they lurched forward to attack. Most drew their scimitars, using on unsuspecting players followed by to attack them with an advantage. was a skill that allowed the goblins to climb onto their enemies, and was a skill that allowed them to use their Scimitar upon successfully latching onto their target. If these skills were successful, then the goblins could reduce a large chunk of…

When we approached the encampment, we heard a desperate scream mixing with the loud chanting of the word "sacrifice" from the Goblins behind the camp's wooden wall. In the main entrance, light from a bonfire shone through this three meter wide entrance in the wooden wall surrounding the encampment. Two fallen goblins and a fallen hound guard the unlocked main gate to the encampment. One of the goblins was gnawing on a leg bone while listening to the others brag about why he was 'the 'mostest' of…

I had to sacrifice something important to access Vexana's Tier 1 shadow spells. And these sacrifices weren't just simple coins. No. They were something important to me, and the higher the tier of the spells, the higher the cost. For now, I had all of Vexana's Tier 1 spells, and they were powerful enough to save my life . . . for now. To access tier 2, I had to give up something of equal importance, and I didn't think that I was ready to pay the price just yet. But if this group would push me to my…

Eventually, we left for the quest. We rode a carriage courtesy to the guild — a free ride for our third task. Thank God because I didn't want to run that miles and exhaust my stamina for such a wasteful thing if we could save time and energy to get to our destination using these carriages. We left early in the morning and arrived at Silvestre Road in the afternoon. We traveled down a misty road with our ears half closed as Rodrick's group made japes out of everything. It was already hard enough…

This sounded fun already. I thought. This would be the first time that I would be dealing with a demon, and I was in a group that made half of noobs while the other half wanted us killed. At least I wasn't going to be the first one to die. I thought while briefly glancing at Lancelot. The guy was always quiet, but I didn't know why he chose this time to show his fangs. Wrong timing if you ask me. And why from all the groups I was put in this . . . Rodrick's group. They may have the highest…

"Excellent job, Lancelot!" said the receptionist, Linda, clapping. "You've passed the first test. Now, you'll need to demonstrate your knowledge of monster behavior and hunting tactics. We have a written exam for that. Follow me." I shadowed her to a quiet corner of the guild house, where I was given a stack of papers and a pen. I poured over the questions, racking my brain for answers. Luckily, it wasn't so hard, and I was able to answer most of them correctly. "Great work, Lancelot!" said Linda,…

Luke's group, Drog and Aria, came with him to Volmont City, where they drafted a contract to serve the noble house of the Volmont. I heard rumors that from all the contracts that Luke received, House Volmont had the best offer. What I remembered as the key point was a private house: The offer of a private house to each member of the group was a significant perk. This would provide them with a safe and secure place to live and would also give them some degree of independence from the Volmont…
