As the sun sets on the horizon and the stars began to twinkle in the sky, the fantasy world came to life. The night in a fantasy setting was unlike anything seen in the real world. The darkness was illuminated by a multitude of sources. From the glowing mushrooms that dotted the forest floor to the luminescent creatures that flit about in the trees, every corner of the land was bathed in a soft, ethereal glow. The moon, full and bright, casted long shadows that seemed to dance in the light of the…-

Ulysses came after five minutes that I summoned him. There were two Teleportation Gates in my territory. One on the main hill in the mountains and one just outside of this village. I also set the settings so that only my minions, Tokens, and allies could access it for the time being. "Everyone, this is Ulysses, our Alchemist," I introduced. Amara said hi, while the others only gave a nod of greetings. "Just how many S-grade Tokens do you have?" Jin muttered whilst shaking his head. I ignored him and…

Jin dabbled with his lips, thinking. "Though elves are usually private and secluded creatures. Some of them detested the strict rules of their village and preferred to roam the world. We might recruit some of them." Like Dwarves, Elves were really good crafters. Maybe I should recruit one while I was at it. "Next, we have the Firbolg. This race is a minority and is one with the natural environment, both eschewing the trappings of civilians for the natural order and taking great pains to ensure their…

"First, we have the Aasimar. This race is plane-touched by higher beings. This provided them with an awe-inspiring appearance that was both memorable and potentially intimidating. They can unleash their powerful inner spirit to manifest unique abilities in battles. "Aasimar had different classes like Fallen, Protector, and Scourge. And the following are the Aasimar's units: The light infantry, Crusaders. Lightbringers, their ranged type units. Pegasus Riders, their mount units. Exalted their heavy…

"How did Perry know we're here? And this fast?" I asked no one. Jin answered, "I don't know how you rope a merchant into your side that not even nobles could do, and I don't know about these lamp, but the merchant guild helping us is certainly to our advantage. "And regarding your question, that thing is called a . As long as the sender remembered your name and face, he could send you the Raven anywhere in the world. The Raven would automatically know where you are, but the sender wouldn't, and once it…

"You mentioned about levels? How does it work?" I asked. And Athena answered, "I know it's confusing at first. But when you'll create your first army, everything will be easier from there. And about your query, every race you produced would start out as level one. And unless you build a Research Facility and have the necessary manpower to operate it, you can upgrade their levels from there and unlock their skills along with it. "Of course, there's always an option of using a real inhabitant as your…

"Do you want me to explain the different stat of a territory?" Athena asked after a short time. "Before that." I looked at the others. "Do you have any questions so far?" The others didn't comment and continued to retreat into their zone of comfort. It was Jin who answered. "So far, I can catch up. I'm already six months in this world after all." "How about you, Amara?" I asked the woman beside me. Amara rubbed her temples and shied a smile. "I can manage." I'm sure she would. She was intelligent,…

"Alright. Now that we're all here. Let's discuss about the progress of our fief first," I started. No one responded. "I'm sorry." Jin brushed his hands over his face. "I can't take this seriously. I mean . . . we're having a meeting over the dining table, and it couldn't even seat all of us!" "Stop yapping already." Florin sneered. "Be glad that my lord had taken you in!" "You can't blame me for complaining," defended Jin. "The more I saw our situation here, the more I am convinced that we couldn't…

I never knew that going to Dementia would be such a strenuous activity. Everybody was against the idea except for Thomas and Lina, who didn't care and would rather retreat to their comfort of silence. As we neared Dementia's Hut, Jin readied his weapon. Florin's face wrinkled in grumpiness, while Amara's expression was blank. I sighed. Let's just get this done and over with. Upon nearing that familiar hut, Dementia's three adoptive trolls were nearby while Dementia herself was standing by the door…

"Two . . ." ". . ." Amara suddenly raised her head. I expected a slap but was surprised to find that there were tears in her eyes, her chin crumpling, and her face flushed. As Amara cried, her bottom lip quivered the same as a baby pushed past endurance. Her eyes became glacier blue under that sheen of water, constant yet allowing the tears to flow without pause. At that moment, seeing her cry like that, I understood the depth of pain that had been sitting below her skin. And, of course, my other self…
