Lyrian pushed his hand forward, as a small spiral of flame instantly materialized in front of him. His eyes glistened in the light of the incredibly fast-spinning fire as it suddenly shot forward--gaining in size, it propelled toward the horde of orcs. It reached over 20 feet in height, rampaging into the orcs like a tractor mowing down weeds. With an inferno of destruction, it incinerated through the middle of the Orc horde, leaving those to the sides dazed and confused. They quickly shrugged…-

After a ten-minute walk, Lyrian and the others soon reached a denser part of the forest. This plot of land was next to the mountain slope, which they were quickly nearing. The sun's rays disappeared as they walked further in, darkness surrounding them. Their steps also became slightly muffled, as Lyrian finished up what he was saying to them on the way there. "And that is all the information that you need to hear. It's also everything Outimbe told me," he said, breaking branches along his path…

Everyone was speechless, along with even Outimbe. Amid the tense silence, Lyrian exclaimed, "We won't be completing the quest, since that means your village will have to pay us 20 gold coins. To me, it seems like that would destroy the village that the quest was created to save in the first place. So... instead of the quest, we will kill those Orcs without any paperwork." As soon as Lyrian said this, he stepped down from the stone platform and began walking toward the exit of the hut. The crowd…

Outimbe continued to remain still, like a deer stuck in headlights. The amount of gruesome intensity he felt in that one moment of Lyrian's spiritual energy was enough to shut his system down into a stupor. However, the crowd felt as though their hearts let go of many mountains worth of weight as Lyrian's words continued to flow within their ears. Not because they were words of rebellion, but because they ensured safety. "Deep within--if your delusion does not completely rot your mind--you know…

Lyrian and the other three followed this old man into the village even further, as the majority of the crowd followed them. While walking up the hill on which the village was built, Lyrian noticed that most of the villagers looked poverty-stricken. Torn clothes and dirty faces were prominent in every single person that he seemed to look at. Before long, Lyrian and the others were led to a fairly large hut near the top of the hill. The old man pushed a door to the side and entered, gesturing for the…

"What? But aren't you guys all Platinum ranked?" Lyrian said, slightly taken aback. "Haha... yeah, but quests don't work that way, man. For a Platinum-ranked quest, there need to be 10 Platinum-ranked adventurers, but maybe 5 depending on how skilled they are. We are quite skilled, but our full squad isn't here, so there are only 3 of us. Even with you, I doubt we would reach the strength of 10 or so Platinum Ranked adventurers." Before moving on, Lyrian was slightly intrigued to hear that Rothis' group…

Lyrian followed Kavenough upstairs, where he was shown to a room. The bar owner opened the door and handed the key to Lyrian before leaving. Lyrian entered, taking a first look at the room. As soon as he stepped foot inside, what he could see was a 15 by 15 foot room. It had one window, a small bed, and a table with a small chair. He walked into a doorway inside the room to find a bathroom with nothing more than a shower, toilet, and sink. After this, he went and fell onto the bed, arms and feet…

Those who heard Lyrian say this looked slightly worried and clearly didn't want to laugh. They had never heard anyone but the Von Haven family directly insult the boy like this. They didn't really know how to react. At that moment, Hyst lightly chuckled, "Hah! You can say that again!" He said loudly, as the others finally donned small smiles and grins on their faces. "Oh, by the way, what time did you say it was now? Red Light time?" Lyrian questioned, remembering he saw red and purple lights outside of…

Lyrian walked inside of the dome calmly, placing one hand on the hilt of his blade. He faced the wooden dummy in the center of the dome, as he stopped there. Rothis shut the door at the moment, as Lyrian's eyes darted up to the stands around the walls of the dome for a split second. It was empty at that time, but a couple people were standing at the very top, looking down at him. A hulking man with heavy iron armor, and a petite lady wearing tight purple clothes made of leather. They both seemed to…

"Hyst?" Lyrian said, noticing the young man, "Sure, you can join me." Hyst grinned on hearing this, quickly tailing behind Lyrian. Before Lyrian opened the door, he questioned, "What were you doing upstairs?" to try and get to know the layout of these Adventurer's buildings a bit more. "Oh, that?" Hyst nervously laughed, closing his eyes and scratching the back of his head, 'I can't let him know that I was waiting for him here this entire time... gotta come up with an excuse.' "I had some... business…
