Sadly enough for Lone, there was no time to study Soph's Barrier Magic any further that evening. Soph herself kept him busy until the last possible moment prior to dinner with her... techniques. After eating, Sophie took control and had her way with him too until the first bell rang, signifying that it was 1:00 AM. An interesting fact about the bells in Milindo's cities of Ros, Ranton as well as the dwarven stronghold of Krieg Moor, was that all bells between the twenty-second bell and the sixth bell…-

Lone accepted the quest and was given strict directions to the quest poster's residence. He quickly left the guild and started walking through the city. Soon, however, a frown formed on his face. "Is this really the area this Four-twelve guy is staying at? Looks almost like a slum... Can a guy offering two gold for a quest really be living here?" The two rooms he was paying for in the Rusty Sprocket only cost him a total of 20 silver a month combined and that was for premium en-suite rooms.…

Lone jolted awake in a cold sweat and frantically looked around before sighing deeply. "Just another nightmare..." He took a moment to collect himself and calm his breathing. He looked over to his side and was happy to see he had neither woken Soph nor Kyuubi. He leaned back into his pillow then chuckled at himself self-deprecatingly when he thought on his recent nightmare. "I never once saw his face under that armour of his but he still haunts me even in my sleep along with those... unfortunate…

Lone was surprised to find himself crying upon hearing Gilbert's voice again. Honestly, he thought he was stronger than that. Of course, he wasn't bawling and wailing but a few tears certainly escaped his eyes. "It's great that you're okay, Gilbert," Lone said as he wiped at his eyes with his sleeve. The communication orb in his hands shined a little bit as Gilbert responded, "How did you pull through?" Lone asked. "Grimsley was telling me that you'd need a miracle to survive." Lone…

Gilbert groaned as he felt himself regaining consciousness. He had no idea what had happened between getting stabbed through the back by Duke Grindol and telling Grimsley to use the Djinn's wish subtly up to this point in time. He tried to wiggle his toes. That was always a good sign to see the condition of the body but he got no response which was not good, not good at all. Gilbert then attempted to pry his eyes open which also failed. Now he was starting to worry. "Oh, heavens no. By all…

Steamforger Wilbur nodded lightly once Lone had finished detailing exactly what had happened to Grimsley. "Trust a boy like him to mess up a Djinn's wish. He was even warned to be precise with the wording beforehand. Ha, well at least he survived." "... You don't seem as concerned as I'd have expected," Lone noted. Steamforger Wilbur shrugged. "Death's inevitable, boy. Ye don't live to be my age at my rank without accepting that sooner or later. Everyone returns to the Stone eventually only to be…

"Hmm..." Lone stroked his jaw as he looked at a few of the requests which had drawn his interest. He could gain some constructive skills which would be very helpful in situations where the fort in his Dimensional Storage wasn't usable or if it needed repairs when his MP was sealed like right now. Or, assuming his MP was unsealed, being able to fix the structure with his hands would be better in his opinion as opposed to wasting valuable MP on such a trivial task. Lone's…

Lone held the blue mana orb curiously as he asked himself, "So, do I just will it like with the communication orb?" Filling his mind with thoughts of triggering the sphere and funnelling its stored power into himself, Lone was pleasantly surprised to see that he was right. He was then immediately regretful of his very vague thoughts. Energy flowed into him like a flood. His veins turned bright blue and glowed under his skin as they bulged, threatening to burst. His entire body cramped up and it took…

Lone was in awe upon seeing the entrance to Krieg Moor. A towering set of double-doors that were easily 50-meters tall was the only way into the stronghold. These doors were embedded into the side of a solid cliff-face and they were practically glowing from the sheer power of the enchantments protecting them. "This is like something straight out of a video game..." Lone muttered. "It's amazing... Look at all of that detail... Soph, these massive doors are telling a story! Can you see those murals…

Lone was surprised to have gotten through to Grimsley and not Gilbert but this was a good sign. The fact that someone had answered the call at all meant that they weren't all dead, which was the worst-case scenario in Lone's mind. However, as the conversation went on Lone's joy quickly turned into a mix of anger and worry. "So you don't know if Gilbert will live?" Grimsley had detailed how they had been attacked by the four dukes and escaped by using the Djinn's wish when Gilbert received a…
