Jizo fell to his knees at the doors of a hut at the world's edge. It was his only safe place, he had nowhere else to go. The door opened to reveal a woman in her thirties. She wore a black robe that was a contrast to her silver hair and eyes, giving her a gloomy deposition. "What have you done?" The woman asked coldly, eyes full of rage. Jizo's body trembled at the question, as pain and agony filled his heart. "I…" He pulled his hair so hard that it started to come off before he smashed his head…-

When the dagger came into view, the harpy snapped her neck toward Arthur's direction. She gazed at him with a blank expression as black tears rolled down her eyes. For the shortest moment, Arthur saw a thin smile appear on her mouth. The next second, her expression turned into one of pure suffering as it screeched so loudly that Arthur doubted her vocal cords could take it. A black stigma appeared on her forehead as the monster's eyes turned red with rage. "Gyaaaah!" She roared as she spread her wings.…

Evading Erin's group was a difficult feat, and the group used the cover of the night to rush toward the pub. They decided to spend the night here before heading to the underground tunnels tomorrow, preparing a little farewell celebration. They had the alcohol, seasoned meat, and good company and that was all they needed to throw a small farewell party. They roasted the meat as they talked and laughed. They moved a table outside the pub and filled it with good food and alcohol, and they started to dig…

Hazel got her legacy, making her able to summon the Witch for a short duration. However, it was still a powerful summoned creature that would rival Jin's monsters combined. Even still, Hazel remained humble, only becoming a bit more confident. The group left the ice castle afterward, heading back toward the green lands. They met fewer monsters on the way back, easing their travels back toward a better climate. At night after they departed, Arthur left the group resting in the tent and sat outside.…

Three days of traveling together can do a lot, but it couldn't improve the relationship of their group just yet. Arthur had a headache just from dealing with the tension in the group. There was the not-so-nice Jin, who kept throwing glares at him and almost fight him every time he had a chance too. The first day was a lot easier as Jin was too wounded to fight, but after they started traveling north, he got a lot fussier. Miko was unusually quiet and would only talk to him, ignoring the other two.…

Arthur opened his eyes early the next morning, he had slept by Kira's side all night. He picked himself up and went into the temple, to find Miko and Jin still asleep, with only Hazel awake. She stood in front of the statue of the woman. The woman wore a robe, and she held a staff in her hand. Her features, albeit slightly covered by dust and vegetation, were still beautiful. Hazel stood in front of the statue, rooted to the ground, as she stared at it. "What are you doing?" Arthur asked, and Hazel…

It was the beginning of a new day, it felt especially so after last night's near-death experience that the group had. The morning breeze grazed upon their bloodied and pale faces, each tending to his wounds and fatigue while riding on the wolf's back. They rode from the south, going from the valley toward the periphery of the mid-tier area before they went east. Hazel wondered why they traveled so much, but she was in, albeit only physically, a better condition than the rest. "Are you hungry?" The…

His brain was going blank from the tearing pain he felt. He vomited blood time after time dyeing the ground in front of him. "Weak," Erin, now fully covered with crimson armor, walked toward Arthur as he grabbed him by the head. He lifted him in the air and Arthur looked into his eyes. Arthur could see many emotions such as rage, bloodlust, and – what annoyed him the most – superiority. Arthur remembered his days as a scavenger, those days flashing before his eyes like the last moment before…

Jin's steps were heavy as he walked toward the tent, but not as heavy as his heart. He wished that Erin would be in his right mindset, away from his usually unruly deeds. Even though he was a capable person, a good leader, he took everything for granted since he was a descendant from one of the main families. "Erin said to not disturb him." The guards at the tent's entrance blocked his way, and he felt his patience wearing thin. Not allowing visitors while he was with a prisoner was not a good sign.…

Arthur rode on Kira's back while stroking its back affectionately. He was taking them toward the underground tunnels where they would hunt mid-tier creatures until the night arrives. After that, Arthur would sneak into the camp using Miko's ability to ask Hazel to help him in his quest. The two descended underground and were met with a giant spider that was a low-mid-tier monster. Its skills were shooting tiny spiders and electrifying webs, and it was a tough foe in such a narrow tunnel. However, the…
