"If you wish to continue your master-apprentice relationship with Lone Immortus, you must do so at the guild from now on. This is for his own safety," said the man who had knocked upon the door of Grimsley’s smithy a little after eighth bell. Grimsley furrowed his brow. “What’d ‘e do?” The guild employee hesitated for a moment before sighing and saying, “He threatened the child of a margrave while in the presence of the child of a duke. Can’t say I blame him since they were trying to…

"Two well-dressed men and an adventurer woman?" Lone asked in confusion as he held the door to his and Soph's room open while he looked down at Grella. Nodding her head, the young woman replied, "Yup! They're probably nobles, so I wouldn't keep them waiting for too long. Bye!" With that said, Grella scamped down the hall and then out of sight, presumably using the stairs to head to the ground floor of the inn. Lone sighed. "As energetic as ever, that one. Still, nobles?" He frowned before he closed the…

"If you think that this is wise, Lone, then so be it," Sophie said as she tied her hair up into a ponytail and then began performing some basic warm-up exercises. He smiled and nodded his head as he watched the tall human woman on the other side of the private training field mimic Sophie with some simple movements to get her blood flowing. The person Lone had hired to help train Sophie said, "It’s always wise to fight other people when possible. While adventurers tend to fight monsters, people can be…

"Where to really start, that’s the issue, huh?” Lone chuckled. Lossa smiled at him kindly. “Why don’t you tell me about your upbringing in the Golden Foxkin Clan?” He wasn’t sure how to deal with this, really. If he lied, he ran the risk of her having some sort of lie detection skill like Gilbert’s Eyes of the White Dragon. As unlikely as that was, it still wasn’t something Lone wished to risk when he wanted this woman to trust him. “In truth? I just kinda woke up on an abandoned…

A few days passed by peacefully for Lone and Sophie which was a welcome thing to the both of them. Sadly, they weren't quite so lucky in regards to adventurer’s quests, and that was wholly a result of the aggressiveness of the hero, Daisuke Tamiko. The Japanese man had been taking each and every single quest that needed something killed. Lone couldn’t help but worry about the woman this kingdom allowed him to legally own. He was a C-ranker, his slaves were not. In regards to Sophie, seeing no…

"I beg your pardon?" a man toiling away over an accounting book of some sort asked sharply towards the woman who was standing on the opposite side his desk. She adjusted her glasses and frowned. "It's as I said. I ordered Growol and his merry little band of rapists to capture the foxkin. That was six hours ago. They should have been done two hours ago at most even if they molested the woman with him. I sent a small group of five down into the sewers to see what was taking so long, and oddly enough, in one…

It didn’t take very long for Lone to get to work immediately on raising his acid and corrosion resistances. To him, that was more important than even the quest which had brought them down here. Of course, they were slowly killing the little slimy monsters, just at a rate far slower than they were actually capable of. Up to this point, Lone had gotten both skills to beginner-level-five. Right now though, some far larger variants had shown up and attached themselves to Lone, much to his pleasure since…

The next day, Lone and Sophie were heading to The Adventurer's Guild after Lone’s blacksmithing lesson with Grimsley for the day was finished. They had also briefly returned to after the Amberbark Inn for lunch. Lone had yet to meet the cook that Lefakern employed at his inn but there was almost no doubt in his mind that whoever they were, they were at least as good as him if not better in the Cooking Mastery skill. Then again, he could just create gold and buy a massive amount of meals from a famous…

I had a lot of trouble getting this art tbh. Had to go through two artists. There's a whole story and outrage over how unprofessional and deceptive the first artist was but I quite like this version. I'm not a huge fan of the background and will likely use a different artist in the future who is great at backgrounds but this is still pretty awesome,…

"Wow. She's a big one, huh?" Gilbert asked as he stroked his goatee and carefully examined the full corpse of the Manasilk Spider Queen. "She must have been at least a B-ranker already, maybe even an A-ranker. How on Altros did you kill the Primal-damned thing?" Lone scratched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly. "Well, like I said, my Poison Resistance kept me alive. The fucker did manage to stab me a few times, but when she did that, I discovered that I could, uh, harden my tails. I pierced her…
