There was near-silence in the dining room, and the only distraction was the constant boiling sound from the pot. Xavia just stared at his face and knew something must have happened. Over the years, she had noticed it enough times to know that her son thinks way ahead and deeper than normally others would. So, she knew she could not half-ass her answer. She quickly put the fire crystal away from the stove and walked to sit beside him. "I will feel sad, but also proud--extremely proud... and safe." "Sad?…-

Sand City, Royal Palace The large block-like bricks in the walls of the Sand City were best to trap the heat in winter and keep it out in summer. The Sand City was the biggest and likely the only large city in the Highland Kingdom, where most economic activities happened. Although the Kingdom spanned from the Wall of Void to the Blood Sea, most economic activities occurred beside the Snake River or to its east. The King Atrox Highland and the Queen Trinity Highland were the famed power couple as both…

_______________________ "Why did you help her? What did she tell you?" Felix asked from the back, still lying to heal the body joints. They had just left the Fallshoot Village. Since Markus' family had already moved towards the East to buy new land with the help of Felix's contacts, they had no reason to stay. Sylvester was holding the reins of the two horses. It was cold now as the winter had finally started knocking on doors, and sadly they had no extra clothes. "Someone has to, Felix. As for what she…

"Murder? Who would do such a thing? We are all very peaceful in the village." Said the old Archpriest. Sylvester didn't react much and looked around the room. "Since when do thieves decorate houses with perfectly laid out jewelry just out of their respective boxes? Look at them. It's all 'arranged' on the floor." Hearing him, the Archpriest and Sir Dolorem looked around. They had to agree the observation was correct. None of the jewelry was thrown randomly but instead placed beside their…

John Hayward was the leader of the Sneaky Stormers. It was a bounty hunting group that he made on his own; over the years, he grew it full of thirty members. Initially, he didn't want to exceed five, but as he realized that nobody wished to join him due to his low talents, he saw an opportunity in numbers. After all, one ant may not be able to lift the prey, but a hundred ants can surely do it. So, he looked for people with the same struggles as him who wanted to be bounty hunters but were lower ranked…

Sylvester sensed some doubts in their minds. So he decided not to push it as antagonizing them might have the opposite effect. This was the rule of taunting, don't do it so much that the other person feels obliged to respond. Instead, Sylvester kept staring into the eyes of Null, who was undoubtedly the leader of these Void Keepers. There was a fierceness in Sylvester's eyes as he started the man down. He made it clear that what he said was not an empty threat. Yes, he would go to any length to kill…

Sylvester sat there silently, staring at the lifeless body of Shane and his mother. How could everything turn out so bad so suddenly? He had killed the bloodling; the town should have been in a festive mood, not this… wasteland. Bam! The monastery was falling apart slowly since the floors above were still covered in fire. But Sylvester remained there, staring at the burnt face of Shane… wondering how much the pain must have been for the little kid. "Maxy." Miraj tried to warn Sylvester of the…

"T-This is... a Skygem!" Sylvester exclaimed. He had read about this when he was reading about the most precious items in the world. This was one of the top items there. Skygem was one of the strongest metallic materials known in the world, with magical properties to be highly durable and in harmony with magic. It was the best thing one could build armor out of, and supposedly, there were just five full-body armors made of Skygems in the entire Sol. But, sadly, throughout history, all five armors have…

"W-What happened? They are not moving anymore!" Gabriel finally showed a moment of relaxation as the worrying lines on his forehead vanished. But he was confused and worried about his best friend. "He won!" Sir Dolorem exclaimed and looked towards Sylvester. But, there was nobody... and just a deep dark pit, as wide as ten meters. 'No, no!' Sir Dolorem left everything behind and ran towards the pit. His duty of protecting Sylvester was a joke already. He was just a helper, but he knew he couldn't ever…

Boom! Boom! Bombs were going off every ten seconds, each being as powerful as the last one. With those fiery explosions, there was an ocean of dead snakes around Sir Dolorem and Gabriel. Since they knew what they had to do now, and as the effect was visible, they went all out. "It's working!" Sylvester roared from a distance as he felt the Bloodling was slowing down with more snakes dying. Sir Dolorem nodded and once again stopped using light crystals to act as bait. Their strategy was simple: they…
