“WaAaAaaaah…” “Congratulations, it’s a boy!” “...” “He passed out…” “Waaaaahhh” “My baby…” A woman reached out for her newborn son while trying to ignore the passed-out father next to her bed. The baby cried out almost instantly after getting smacked on the bottom by the attending cleric. This feline nun was performing the rites and quickly infusing divine energy into the tired mother. ‘Hm, so that’s how they do it in this world. Interesting…’…-

“Master Brylvia… could you not…” “Whit do yi'll want me to do? if ye don’t tak' it aff, then ah have to examine it this wey, now hush a'm needin' to focus! On the runes, this is so fascinating yit so impractical it boggles th' mind. How much mana wid ya need to activate such a runic component…” “Ha ha, I see that you have formed a bond between craftsmen but perhaps we should have a small chat together about the future of this city and perhaps the new partnership with the Union!”…

‘Could it be someone from my ‘family’? No that makes no sense, Robert should be nowhere near here and my name shouldn’t have leaked. Could it be someone from the Arden house? Maybe someone that he trusts?’ Roland was making his way down the street while wondering about Arthur’s visitor. From the short conversation he had with him, this individual was somehow interested in his runic items. This didn’t help much, even the city lord himself was pretty fond of the magical creations and so…

“How did it go, Mary?” “I’m sorry Lord Arthur, I’ve failed…” “Don’t beat yourself over it, most fail the first time around, I’m sure that you’ll make it next time…” Arthur smiled at Mary who lowered her head. After reaching the maximum level that she could, her attempt at the tier 3 class had been a failure. This was quite normal but the maid wished to become her lord's sword for the future as fast as humanly possible. She knew that her liege also wished to level up…

“Woof!” “Hey, calm down, just give me a moment…” “Awoooooo!” Roland was looking at an over-excited ruby wolf that was jumping around his backyard. The moon was peeking out from behind some clouds and barely illuminating the night sky. Even with no natural light, the two could casually see everything. There was no need for runic lights thanks to easily produced spells that allowed for night vision. Agni knew that today was the day that he would be allowed to turn into a new form.…

“Oh, are they doing something with the old clock tower? Are they going to finally fix it?” “I don’t know, they started bringing in those large slabs… what are they trying to do?” “Are they removing the old clock? Maybe some rich merchant finally decided to buy it?” “Why would they, there isn’t really anything here, and it’s not close to the marketplace or any of the districts…” “Those look like city guards, this must have been ordered by the City Lord… and isn’t…

“This is the last one, let's see… some gems but no other items…” Roland looked at a small sack filled with various precious gems. After letting his calculation-related skills do the work he was given a gold price of around two hundred gold coins. For a normal person, this was quite the amount of cold hard cash but for someone that could spend more in a week, this was nothing. ‘So that leaves me with a shield, one trapped chest, and these gems, other than that there is nothing left on this…

‘They got the hang of it rather fast… I might be able to move along to schedule for once…’ Roland was leaning against the corner while watching Armand use the divine spell scroll he created. The spell was constructed in a way to guide itself toward undead creatures. Even if they aimed it at the ceiling the bolt would bend and fly at the giant spawning skeleton in the middle of the room. The area he found for the three to go through had two respawning monsters with one more traveling through…

*Click* “It was really there… How did you know?” “There was a pattern in the dungeon.” “A pattern? I’ve never heard of such a thing before.” “Most people don’t do things like me so they wouldn’t be able to find it.” Roland replied to Mary who was astonished by the opening secret door before them. Inside was a small room of around twenty square meters. Right at the end was a lone chest with unknown contents. It was a secret room just like the ones sprinkled in the…

“Wait here.” “Are you going to be okay? Even if you are at tier 3, two monsters at once might be troublesome.” “I’m going to be fine, it’s just two berserkers, they are the easiest to handle. They will blindly charge at anyone that gets in range. If you follow after me they might target you instead of me, it will complicate things.” “If you say so… we’ll be cheering for you!” “Agni you too, just wait here and protect them.” “Woof!” Lobelia gave Roland a big…
