Magic Enhancing Pills. As the name suggested, they were pills that enhanced your magic. If taken by someone like him, they would allow him to use the same amount of mana as someone who had formed the first out of the four core stars, the Grass-root Star. The drawback here would be that the pill would turn his own lifeforce into mana he could use, the end-result being a slight reduction of his lifespan. But the spell he wanted to cast was only General-grade so it should only be a reduction of about 2-5…-

Gabriel had a headache as he made his way towards the city. He had just finished putting Alice to bed and cancelled tonights training with Lawrence. He didn’t have a choice but to call off the training, today wasn’t Thursday so it wasn’t his one day off. But he had to get to the city today because of the bombshell Alice decided to drop on him just a while ago. He’d have to join her to the Spirit Awakening ceremony and take it himself while there? Alice’s awakening ceremony was the perfect…

Gabriel expected the Night Pack to move quickly because of how well he paid them, the information he gave them was also quite juicy so they were probably eager to use it straight away. But as it turned out, they were more patient than he thought. That, or they were just more thorough. "The information you requested has been gathered. The tree with eight holes, hole number five from the bottom." A little over a week after he put in the request, the stud earring he got from the Night Pack finally whirred…

When Gabriel entered the mansion, he could feel a slight tenseness in the air. The usual noise was absent, the unusual silence almost oppressive as it bore down on his shoulders. Marion had probably scolded Leonardo a fair bit, resulting in his already terrible mood dropping further. Chef Laurelai had already been fired after having ‘stolen’ a necklace, no one wanted to be the next to go because they accidentally disturbed Leonardo. Well, the eastern wing where Gabriel and Alice lived was always…

"Yeah, figures that she wouldn’t be here. Guess I was hoping for too much too quickly." Gabriel stood in front of a tattered building as he muttered to himself. The wooden shack had quite a few holes, most of them barely covered by some cloth that fluttered with every breeze. This wasn’t a place you could live, even the orphanage that Gabriel grew up in was better than this. But perhaps that was only to be expected, he was after all currently standing in what would commonly be called the slums. As…

Tap There was a soft tap to fill the silence. Even Leonardo’s huffing breaths had to quiet down each time that soft tap repeated itself. Alice could feel it, their Elder Sister, Marion De Vritara, was looking at them, a crease between her brows. "Leonardo De Vritara." The voice was dignified but cold, traces of disappointment and annoyance lingering in each syllable. He grit his teeth, Alice could almost hear it as she stood next to him. "You are a Vritara. On your back you carry the pride and…

When Gabriel stepped through the open door, he found himself in a tavern, a long counter with three bartenders standing behind it. The walls were lined with various types of alcohol, a door amidst the liquor leading into the kitchen that prepared all the food. Even with all his walking, since he left before the sun even rose, it was only around the afternoon. But even so, there were already quite a few people here, sharing a meal as they chatted and drank. "Good day my friend, how can I help you cure your…

After Leonardo and Alice left the room, the old man gave Gabriel a courteous nod and then guided them away, leaving only the bleeding child. Gabriel held the bedsheets that were now stained by his blood, they were white so trying to get the blood out would be a massive pain. "Ah, I’ll have to buy new ones for her." He muttered as he tore up the sheets and used them as makeshift bandages to cover the cuts left by the vines. This was Alice’s only blanket so if he didn’t buy new ones today then he…

"WHO DARES?!" A thunderous shout rocked the Vritara mansion before the sun even peeked across the horizon. Gabriel hadn’t even gotten up to wake up Alice yet it was that early. Two days ago, he had taken something from Leonardo, and just last night, he finally returned from wherever he had been. "…You checked on it quite quickly, didn’t you?" He groggily stood up from his bed, the sounds of bustling activity quickly spreading throughout the mansion. He splashed some lukewarm water from the basin…

Gabriel didn’t act immediately. He continued about his day as normal, which at this time really only meant helping Alice get ready for bed. He prepared her nightgown and had a bit of tea with her, spending a bit under an hour reading some stories so that she could unwind and fall asleep with relative ease. Once he blew out the last candle in her room and stepped into the hallway, it was private time for him. "Right then, where exactly are you hiding?" Normally, Gabriel would spend the upcoming two…
