If Arthur hasn't been told this was a workshop, he would have believed this was a family gathering. Too bad he was the outsider that the Runes Masters, discarding their images, rooted for Roy to win. Roy kept thanking them by a slight bow every time they did and the whole scene was too funny for Arthur to hold back his laughter. "You won't get to be that relaxed in a bit," Adjusting his golden glassed, Roy pointed at him. His actions were so serious that they didn't look serious at all. They gathered…-

After grabbing a set of clothes from the Workshop's storage, Arthur was pushed into a changing room with a mirror in it. Along the way, he got to witness the workshop dust-clean corridors, the fountains that gave a refreshing ambiance, and the green-robed Runes Master going in and out of rooms. A sigh left his mouth after Emma left him alone in the room. He started to slowly undress as his stomach churned at the thought of meeting all of these Runes Masters. However, he felt better when he remembered…

The Magic Tower of Yalen, it was called. You could see why, as the royal family has possession of the tower and taxed all of the people that would venture into it. Markets were cramped around it to buy or sell anything tower-related. The crowd was bustling and many foreigners moved about, dying the crowd with their unique traits. Some were exceptionally tall, bronzed, carrying a darker skin tone. Others were exceedingly pale, having sharp features and pointy noses with slitty-eyes. As Arthur roamed…

The capital city of the Yalen kingdom was located to the east of Kera, Arthur's hometown. In-between lied many cities, strongholds, and camps of varying sizes covering the ever-stretched wilderness of the kingdom. Farming was taken care of by strongholds that defended the fertile lands from attacks. Villages, like the one Arthur found in the middle of the mountain range Rovero, were rare and didn't exist unless they had special means of defending themselves against monsters, like the ring of illusions.…

Her ginger hair flawlessly swung with her waving, making Oren doubt if she was sparkling. Even at such a distance, he could see her blue eyes glistering in contrast to her white skin. However, if someone asked Oren about the thing that he liked the most about Selena, it would be her freckles. They turned her beautiful features into one of cuteness. He tottered to the group that was waiting for him, albeit the rest not being as welcoming as Oren. He stood closer to Selena since she was the only 'friend'…

It was quite ironic that Arthur, an uneducated person who had to drop out of school, would receive an ability containing the word 'wordsmith.' After his dinner with Emma, Arthur came back home and looked the word up. Wordsmith, someone who skillfully uses words. If he combined that meaning with runes, that his ability would mean someone who skillfully uses runes. Another word that popped out was a 'writer.' Arthur has always used his runes like skills, but past incidents proved otherwise. When he was…

When Arthur left Master Ronin's place, he headed toward a restaurant instead of going home. It was a high-class restaurant, but he could afford it with his current wealth. On a side note, it was a lot. He had already procured a million dollars from selling his artifacts. Each of his Protection Armors was sold for thirty thousand. While his Fire-Swords were sold for fifty thousand. His ability was a money-printing machine. However, he had stopped selling the artifacts since he didn't want the market to…

The villa that felt foreign to him at one time became a rather familiar place. Over the past few weeks, Arthur came here a dozen of times whenever he had the chance to. Master Ronin was the ex-principal of Jerano College, making him one of the best people that could teach Arthur about mana. Their first lesson started before Arthur went into the trial, and they have resumed them after he was back. It was mostly about mana control, how to increase his mana, and how to replenish it through breathing.…

Normally, artifacts would be found everywhere in the world. They could even be found underground, in a dungeon, or even in a forest. They were the leftovers of ancient civilizations that had inhabited the other world. However, there was always a fine line between artificial artifacts and genuine ones. Rune Grandmasters called it Reality Gate; Arthur read in the library. This gate serves to link the artifact to the real world, using mana to alter the world. The way to create this gate has never been…

Unexpectedly, life was stall afterward with no remarkable events. Arthur woke up the next day, organized the village, gathered some food from the stream nearby, and trained as he watched the surrounding for any dangers. The cloaks were a lot more active after he killed two of them, but their numbers started to dwindle when they couldn't find the village. Amelia was helpful somewhat with her storage artifact. Arthur's mood was horrible the previous day because of what happened in the cave and the dangers…
