Chapter 6 CHAPTER 6 PRIMAL SPIRITS Lino trembled for a moment as he jolted his eyes open . As his vision recovered from a brief blur, he saw that he was in a completely unknown and unfamiliar environment .

Currently, he was surrounded by four spectacular sights that couldn’t be more different . In…-

Chapter 5 CHAPTER 5 APPARENTLY A CULTIVATOR Lino was currently standing in the ’backyard’ of the house, his expression a mixture of confusion, befuddlement, terror, and some more confusion atop all of that . In front of him was Ella, dressed in her everyday clothes, her hair tied up neatly in a bun, still appearing every bit a housewife as she always did . Yet, looking at the stats she allowed him to see, Lino nearly vomited ten buckets of blood in despair . Although he had no clue what…

Chapter 4 CHAPTER 4 A QUEER BASTARD In a flash, five full months had passed since Lino had fallen under Eggor’s tutelage . The village wasn’t much different than it was five months ago; it still bustled with noise from dawn until midnight, with nearly ten thousand people living all sorts of lives . In a distant corner, near a shabby alley, a wooden, even shabbier-looking house, stood in silence . It looked no different than anything surrounding it – rather, it fit perfectly into this rather…

Chapter 3 CHAPTER 3 ABSORBING KNOWLEDGE Lino’s life had quickly become composed of two things: running and doing chores during the day and reading before falling asleep like a dying stone . The latter he somehow even handled as he had some interest in the theory behind blacksmithing, but the former sucked the soul out of his little, shriveled up body . It wouldn’t be bad if the chores were, well, chores . However, his understanding of the word and Ella’s and Eggor’s differed greatly .…

Chapter 2 CHAPTER 2 FOUNDATION Lino puffed out heavily as he ran around like a dying dog . His entire face was flushed red and his simple, tattered clothes were doused in sweat . He was already half-hunched and was barely moving forward as droplets of sweat poured down from him, blazed underneath the scorching sun in the sky . Running like this for nearly four hours had completely exhausted every ounce of strength inside his body, and all that was left for him was to curse . But, even so, he had…

In the sky, a gathering of powerhouses was engaged in conversation. Alexander from the Northwest Citadel, clad in golden armor, sat majestically atop a golden lion with wings. Observing the continuous influx of arrivals, he couldn't help but click his tongue, "Baron, that fat fellow, really has some nerve, actually daring to open up this secret realm." Next to him, Eldritch, who was floating in mid-air, stroked his snowy white beard and chuckled, "The folks from House Goldworth have always been…-

The sun rose in the east. When John, clad in a black robe, arrived at the Dark Forest bar, the doors were still shut. Yet, inside the hall stood four individuals dressed in uniforms similar to John's, two men and two women. John was somewhat taken aback upon seeing them, as these faces were all too familiar. They were either bartenders he had seen on the second floor or regular patrons who frequented the bar for drinks. Having been around for two or three years, John had his suspicions, but…

If it were just an ordinary advanced secret realm, it wouldn't necessitate such a grand mobilization of major powers and formidable beings. However, the fact that so many forces and powerful individuals were defying norms to converge here suggested that this secret realm likely contained something immensely precious, something that drew everyone like moths to a flame. John had an epiphany and asked Scarlett, "What exactly is inside that secret realm that could attract so many powerhouses and…

Stellarburg now felt like a melting pot of influences. The Goldworth conglomerate, House Carter, Stellarburg's own House Winters... and now, individuals from the Federal authority. One formidable power after another was converging in this otherwise unremarkable city. John couldn't believe they were all just here to enjoy Stellarburg's sights. What secrets did Stellarburg hold to warrant such attention from so many factions? A shadow of unease cloaked John's heart, this ignorance an unwelcome…
