The two belligerent men who had challenged Lone and Sophie were already gone, quick to use the training area they were sparing in to warm up. They might have been rude assholes, but Lone had to give them credit. At least they were treating this seriously, which was exactly what he wanted. There would be little-to-no point if he and Sophie were treated like children, after all. He wanted to learn through this spar. Regardless, Lone refocused his attention on the guild employee. "As you don't have…-

The evening passed calmly, and soon, morning crept around to take its place. Lone greeted Phil after he and Soph were fully prepped for the day and well-fed. The room did come with two meals a day, after all. It would be rude not to enjoy said meals. Lefakern's wife was a lovely portly lady with a charming smile that only added to her appeal. Her cooking was also exceptional, so Lone made sure to promise he and Soph would be returning for dinner. That simply made the woman laugh politely and tell…

"Ah, God damn it," Soph heard Lone mumbling as she woke up. Her head was pounding, but she still managed to roll over to look in the direction that she'd heard Lone's voice. Soph closed her eyes, not that they did her much good as is anyway. "Where are we...?" she asked a bit drearily. She heard Lone stop whatever it was that was doing. He then approached the bed she was laying in and sat down on its side before he began stroking her hair. Just the fact that she was on a bed gave her a…

"Bah! 'Master ma left nutsack! That Seloph wench can hardly control ah fookin' torch, let alone ah whole blasted forge! Tae ave the gall tae call 'erself a master What an insult to try experts at the craft, Grimsley hollered. Currently, Lone and Soph were sat in the man's house in a very dirty and messy living room-slash-forge. A peculiar combination of rooms, that was for certain, but who were they to complain considering the building's size? Lone did have to wonder why he was operating out a slum…

After cooking breakfast with Soph, Lone took their porcelain bathtub out from his Dimensional Storage and created hot water for them to bathe with. A good 15 minute soak and some heavy towel usage later, and the two were now fully dried and dressed. "So... The Adventurer's Guild?" Soph asked as they were walking down the inn's flight of stairs. Lone shook his head. "Not yet. Why not now? We dont really have much else to do here, Soph questioned. Well for a start, I want to talk to the…

Lone and Soph ending up spending a total of three extra days in the completed fort. In that time, Lone had completely finished reading the massive book on Milindos history and current situation, earning him a couple of level-ups in Reading Mastery. Hed tried to reread the shorter books or even narrate them aloud for Sophie while she worked on her Body Manipulation. Sadly, neither of these things levelled the skill further, leading him to believe he needed to read different works to…

Lone woke up to find a set of lifeless eyes only inches away from his own simply staring at him. Grinning, the eyes owner rubbed her nose against his then gave him a soft peck. "Good morning." "I almost thought you were Sophie for a second there. Is this the first time Ive even woken up Soph nodded. Yup. I actually didnt go to sleep I, uh, got kind of lost in trying to figure out another use for Body Manipulation. Any luck? Lone asked. Soph smiled wryly and shook her head. No, but I could…

"It's getting dark..." Lone said as he looked at the horizon that contained a slowly setting sun. Sophie had started getting a headache pretty quickly from using too much of her MP and thus couldn't teleport them anymore. According to her though they had already moved more than a few miles away from the city. This was rather impressive since moving more than just herself made her Teleportation far more MP-intensive. Lone knew what it felt like to have no mana points left, so he had readily agreed…

"Heavy..." Lone grumbled as he opened his eyes only to greeted by a system message. Lone groaned. Yeah, yeah, I get it. Im a beginner. He must have missed the notification after he and Soph finished training that particular skill. Regardless, he glanced down at the sleeping beauty laying on top of him and he smiled. She yawned and blinked a few times in confusion, seemingly having been woken by his words. Once she recognised that she was on top of him, she smiled. Soph raised her head…

Apparently, the captain and his soldiers had been tasked with protecting Lady Malik as she toured the southern coast of Milindo. They had stopped their activities to investigate Lone and Sophies ship as their duties demanded of them. With their harmlessness and intent confirmed, however, the captain made it clear to Lone that the tour would resume and they would have to follow the galleon. Lone honestly wanted to keep fishing so he asked if the captain wouldnt mind having a soldier or two stay…
