It couldn't be helped that his cooking skills brought the people to his yard—well, diner. But regardless of that fact, he wished that Han Jing had arrived at a better time. He was doing something else… but if he couldn't help a friend in need, something, something deed. Mou Gu probably messed that quote up but he still watched his old classmate's expression with a hawk-eye look. Han Jing didn't know it—but he was a bad liar. Though maybe they weren't exactly lying but not telling the full story…-

And so the events that happened in Kraelonia Academy right after the incident in the Hidden Library was this— Han Jing woke up. The young man bolted out of his bed and nearly fell down. He came to see the room devoid of anyone else except for him. What day was it anyway? He woke up like he had a splitting headache but it was becoming a bit of a norm. Han Jing checked the calendar on his phone and saw the notifications: "I really stayed there for more than half a day? Dang." Han Jing's stomach…

Her back hit the wall at the same time that he stumbled towards her and pinned her against it. Right before she could knee him in the groin, she heard and felt something vibrate and Ellynn squeezed her eyes shut. The noise made her ears hurt. Her heart pounded for a moment until the sound of the crash ended—and when she opened her eyes to check if everything was safe. She looked up and saw Han in front of her. She could feel him pressed against her… she made her gaze look past his face and towards the…

"Cover your nose and hold your breaths!" She cried out as they approached the portion of the dungeon. Ellynn's memory was sharp enough to recount the exact place where Timothy had fallen off. She looked back to only see two were following her—and Han was missing. She stopped before continuing forward: the Half Elf was with two people who didn't seem capable of heading back to the portal on their own. She gritted her teeth. In a time like this, it was more important that at least one or two managed to…

"And this library really is wonderful! But don't you think it's a little wrong to keep hoarding all the books for yourself?" The Enchanter, Theodore asked the Spectre in a curious tone. Han did not have high hopes in this situation—This was a being who had spent his entire lifetime to selfishly gather knowledge like some book hungry Scrooge. Someone like them wouldn't— "Why is it wrong my boy? I struggled to get my books, these things are my private property!" The Spectre motioned to all of the…

This scenario could go in many terrible directions in Han's mind—he was no Diplomat. Man, he wished he was one in this particular moment, and perhaps he could have talked his way out of here. Or if he was a smooth Noble like Sir Leon de Harrington, maybe they could have used charisma or some fancy Noble Skill to change this ghost's mind. Heck, they might even walk out of here with one book if they had the Noble. Although to be fair, that wasn't his goal. Because as far as he was concerned, he didn't…

Instead of admiring the library that Han didn't know was there, he was instead plunged into another dangerous situation involving his friend being choked by a translucent man. It was in this moment that one could already imagine options popping in thin air as the situation became very clear to Han: 1) Attack The Ghost-Thing 2) Talk To The Translucent Man 3) Head Back to the Exit Alas there was no time to choose another option as he found himself floating above the air. He yelped and held onto his…

There were a lot of things that the observer could watch with nothing but non attachment—and often, they were much less concerned with what was happening as they were sure that the traps and creatures in the hallway would capture and subdue whoever had come to seek for knowledge. They observer had grown upset with the Black Slime for running away in one of those encounters but it had been mitigated when the two seekers were subdued in the area where the air was filled with compounds and gases that…

Glass shattered as he dropped the empty potion bottle on the ground. Timothy had done it right before he looked up at the walls in the hallways and soon again found himself intrigued by the designs and patterns on them—he couldn't decipher it at all. But he shook his head as he gazed around the empty hallway and frowned to himself. The reason he was here…. "I faced off the slime, the strange air from earlier and finally that snake." He stepped forward and began to walk towards his destination. "I was…

Darkness permeated everything and so the intruder grasped and thrashed in his spot. His dagger had been plucked out and spat out of the Black Slime's body as it began to trudge itself forward across the hallway. Whenever it 'consumed' something, its weight and density increased and it slunk slowly across the floor. In its core was the protocols left by its and right now it was order to expel this newcomer back into the chambers. But then it paused. Within itself the slime began to feel the person continue…
