"Hmm..." Lone stroked his chin in thought as he and Sophie looked over one of the quest boards at The Adventurer's Guild. "None of those monsters are very magical in nature... Anything on your side of the board?" Soph unpinned two requests and showed them to Lone. "This one is to kill a Lesser Hydra, but only S-rankers or above can take the quest on, so maybe we shouldnt bother? Uh, this one here though is to wipe out a colony of Manasilk Spiders. There are no requirements on it since it's urgent, but…-

Immediately upon re-entering the waiting room where the other hopeful participants were, Lone frowned. He could see Sophie trying her best to not reach for her swords as three men and two women surrounded her and mocked her. While she was dressed in her full plate, she had chosen not to wear her helmet since it could get rather stuffy, particularly inside. A mistake, it would seem. "Hey! Open your eyes! Lemme see those lifeless fuckers again!" "Hahaha, how's she gonna fight when she can't even…

"It's big," Soph whispered as she stared up at Ranton's Grand Colosseum with those lifeless eyes of hers. Lone smirked. What colour is it? he asked her. Soph raised an eyebrow. Its a mix. Most of it is a bright grey, almost white. There are browns, blues and greens too though. A couple banners? Yeah, banners. Theyre red to me and I can almost see the patterns on them. I wish I could see the world as you do, Lone muttered. It sounds so magical. I feel the same way about how you see it, Soph…

"My lord," Ceela called respectfully as she fell to one knee. "The foxkin and his presumed master have settled in Ranton, it would seem. I cannot say for sure how long they will stay in the holy city, but from my investigations, it doesn't seem likely that they will leave relatively soon." Lord Griffset smiled as he stroked his oily goatee. "Excellent. What else? Have they been approached already by another noble?" Ceela trembled in fear at the overweight lord's... excited tone. "N-No, my lord.…

Now all geared up and ready to go, Lone and Sophie left Ranton for the Bengon Forest once again after a quick stop to the Amberbark Inn and then The Adventurer's Guild. "Lone, we were curious, what exactly is your plan to rank up?" Sophie asked as they trekked through the farmlands that stretched outwards beyond Ranton's city walls. Shrugging lightly, Lone replied, "Well, seeing as how they're strong but dumb, I figured I'll only fight with my swordspear. No Bone Armour, no Lightning Bolt, nothing.…

Well, here goes Lone mumbled as he closed his eyes and filled his mind with thoughts of gold. He was trying to create a simple gold coin. Just one, not a full pouch or anything. He had some slight concerns over how he could affect the global economy but honestly, strength seemed more important on this planet than wealth did. The king and all of the dukes of this kingdom were SS-rankers, after all. The nobles? All families built on a foundation of A or B-rankers. Business was an afterthought. Hell,…

"Lightning Bolt," Lone whispered faintly. Immediately, as if on instinct, a head whipped around only for the eyes nestled within it to stare right at him. It was too late though. A silent flash of blue escaped Lones outstretched palm and hit its mark with practised ease. Its target, the cranium of a hulking Blue Orc. The beasts were easily two metres tall, and they had biceps the size of watermelons. Lone was honestly quite intimidated by their appearance, especially the unrefined metal bars that…

"We're being followed," Sophie informed Lone quietly as they were approaching the Bengon Forest. "Oh? By what?" Lone questioned. "Children. Two of them. They are cloaked in magic to change their appearance, but we can tell that they are nothing but tykes. They are quite similar to you, actually," Sophie noted impassively. "How so? Are they devilishly handsome?" Lone asked with a smirk on his face. Sophie rolled her eyes. "Of course. Yes, they're devilishly handsome, even the girl. No, they have…

The first notifications to greet his eyes upon willing them into view were level-ups for Swordspear Mastery. Lone raised an eyebrow as he walked through the cobbled streets of Ranton. This was confusing to him so much so that he paused reading his notification log to ponder over the matter further. Surprisingly, the next notification was actually about a new skill which he had developed mid-fight. He had copied it. No, hed earned it himself. Immediately, excitement filled his…

Lone held his swordspear tightly in his right hand and positioned it behind him as he spread his feet and put his free hand out defensively. He watched the men cautiously as they watched him back, neither side seemingly keen on making the first move. Of course, there was a clear advantage in being the one to respond rather than the one to initiate here. Especially since Lone was already in a defensive position. However, the seconds ticked on by with nothing happening, confusing Lone. It…
