Zero moaned as he tore out another chunk of meat from the juicy mountain goat thigh. If Freya was here, Zero would never have the chance to enjoy an expertly prepared spit-roast with his bare hands. The brunet got to know Douglas a little better over the dinner. Douglas was a half-Selkie and Zero wondered if they were descendants of Sedna. The man was devastatingly handsome with his sea blue eyes and dark hair. His teeth were pearly white and the only indication that he wasn’t human was how he had…-

Storing Lovina’s diary in his inventory, Zero left her apartment with a heavy heart and even heavier thoughts. The witch explained to him how she’d been searching for a way to break her curse and how Merlin answered her prayers with a vision. Zero was troubled. He knew what that vision meant. That was something that only happened when none of the Gods could answer a prayer. Baal once told him before that he had a similar dream of being in nothingness. That same nothingness was what Zero entered…

Zero froze He didn’t quite know what to say. A magic orientation course sounded fantastic. Zero had no problems with it as Hua Tuo had given his consent. However, why did he have a feeling that there was more than met the eye? Lovina continued nursing her cup of tea smiling patiently as she waited for Zero’s answer. Soon and the Gemini Star descendant twins were in on it too. Frankly, Zero was very curious. He studied some of the magic basics from a book but was prohibited from testing anything out…

Zero ate with gusto. It didn’t matter if he was already bursting at the seams. The combination Grandma Moppo and Zoe’s cooking was a powerful drug that left him craving for more. It only became more delicious with every plate. Zero saw how there were no signs of stopping from the two women in the kitchen. They whipped up new dishes every ten minutes and Zero wondered how extensive their culinary repertoire was. Hua Tuo was mortified. He’d never seen his student ate as much as he did. Sure, Zero…

"Report. What are their numbers?" The werewolf kneeled on one knee and bowed. "Greetings, Chieftess. Roovan and I circled around their camp twice. Count Carrabas is taking part in the charge this time. He has with him twelve knights, thirty militaria, fifty conscripts and five adventurers. There is one mid-tier magician in the adventurers and one mid-tier ranger. The other three adventurers are fighter-types. They look like a decent party with lots of experience." Zenobia frowned. "Didn’t he…

Zero woke up early the next morning and at pancakes with Lovina and Hua Tuo. Cleo was out in the fields and that gave the witch some time alone to teach the brunet what he needed to do. Hua Tuo looked tense and Lovina was worried. Zero had been exhausting himself for the past hour to perfect the magic. He’d experimented on all types of plants available and even on himself. Hua Tuo panicked when Zero wanted to remove his big toe entirely and try reconstructing a new big toe. Naturally, they didn’t…

"Come on in!" Grandma Moppo smiled when she saw Zero at the door. The inside of her cosy home was brightly lit and Zero felt his stomach rumble when he smelled the wonderful aroma of stew in the air. "Is that venison stew?" he asked. The half-dwarf grinned. "Venison stew loaded with herbs. It’s good for blood circulation. Your teacher is here already so go wash up real quick. Dinner will be served soon." The brunet bounded away and the half-dwarf went back to stirring the pot when there was…

Zero couldn’t see anyone yet but he heard coughing from the underground passageway. Vrald shrugged and continued walking as if it was a normal occurrence. Gerald gave the brunet an apologetic smile and urged him along. "Are they nearby? I heard someone coughing..." "Don’t worry about it," Vrald grinned. "You can hear a lot of things from the underground passage. They’re not far but they’re not that near either. Sound travels a lot faster and clearer underground after all." Zero didn’t…

Hua Tuo frowned. Zero was back early. Lovina and Cleo stopped talking and watched as the werewolf let Zero down gently. They couldn’t hear what was said but judging from Zero’s worried expressions, they could guess what happened. Wordlessly, they made their way down to meet the brunet. "Ah, you’re here. That’s great. Could I leave Zero in your care for a bit? I have to return to help." "Sure, no problem. How would you like some tea, Zero?" Lovina asked. Reluctantly, Zero cast one last…

"Am I late?" Zenobia smiled at her favourite child of late. "No, you’re just on time. We’re still doing final checks. Have you met the team?" Zero looked around. Every hunter on the team looked scary but when they saw their latest addition, that sternness on their faces melted away. "Why, hello there!" A man with a very wide grin greeted Zero. He held out his hand and Zero shook it, noting how human he looked. "Hello, I’m Zero. I’ll be in your care today." The man with a wide grin…
