After making the bold promise, Leo left the shack. He went straight to the market to find Trevor. The only way that he could earn that much money was to risk his life and go into Valkyr's Forest. He went to where Trevor's stall normally was and saw him sitting there, waiting for customers. Trevor saw him walking towards him. He smiled and got up to stretch. "So, you have come back. For more work, I presume?" He said to Leo. Leo nodded. "I need 800 Star coins. Do you know how I can earn that much…

Leo touched the engraving on the door. He opened the door again and peered through. He didn't leave the white room though. He wanted to look at the landscape again. He closed the door after seeing the familiar darkness. He didn't want to jump to conclusions, but he was very confident that he had just accessed his mind. This meant that he had finished every step before forming his first star. Of course, he didn't have enough magic power accumulated. But he had sensed magic, absorbed it into his body,…

The white room was completely filled with small translucent orbs in the air. They were giving off a light rainbow color. Some of them were touching Leo's skin, producing a warm fuzzy sensation, as if he was home. He felt propelled to touch one of these orbs in front of him. He poked at one of the orbs, and it started floating away because of his force. Now knowing that he could touch them, he decided to try and hold one of them. He grabbed one of the orbs and brought it to his face so he could see it.…

Leo got a few buns for breakfast and some rice with chicken for lunch and dinner. He brought it in a basket and put it in one corner of the room. He told Daphne to eat whenever she was hungry, but that he would only join her when he was done training. "What are you training for? And what are you doing?" Daphne asked him. "I am training my mind to be still," he told her. "Why?" Daphne asked. He shook his head. "Being mentally strong is very important. It will help you in the real world." Daphne knew…

Daphne had woken up when the afternoon was cooling down and the evening was just setting in. She couldn't see Leo anywhere so she assumed that he had gotten some work at the market. She just waited for him because she was too weak to leave the shack. At around sunset, Daphne got a little apprehensive. He never got jobs that required him to stay for long. He would typically get a few Starcoins to clean some equipment or glass vials. Daphne got worried that he wasn't back yet. Around 2 hours later, the…

Leo swore in his mind while speeding up. Instead of furiously beating around like a brute, he calmly pushed the water back neatly with great strength. He was trying his best not to waste too much of his stamina. Meanwhile, the crocodile was closing in quickly. He saw the shore was closing in. He started putting more power into pushing back the water. He reached the ground. He immediately left the water and scrambled forward. He got away from the lake just in time. The crocodile dived at him like…

As Leo entered the huge room, the gold engravings slowly died down. The golden light slowly moved out of the doors like a snake. Some of the golden light entered the room through the floor, following him, while the rest converged outside the room on top of the doors. The light settled on some engravings, forming a phrase. ________ Here Lies The Arcane Emperor. ________ He had already entered the room, so he didn't see this phrase. The gold light behind him split up and covered the walls. The entire…

Leo knew immediately that it was only a normal wolf. But only is such a deceiving word. He was an undernourished 13-year-old. Even a 'normal wolf' would rip him to shreds. But he didn't start running immediately. He knew that the wolf would catch up to him in no time. The wolf was standing between the route to the city. The only direction he could run into was the forest, where there were more beasts that could kill him. However, the forest also had more trees as it got farther from the city. It would…

Leo looked at Trevor with curiosity. "What do you mean?" He asked. Trevor sighed and pointed to his potions. "I need some herbs to keep making potions. Normally, I would hire adventurers to do this or just buy it from a merchant. But I can't do that now because I am busy selling the potions. So if you can do it for me, I might even employ you in the future," Trevor explained. "So I need to find these herbs for you?" He asked Trevor. "Yes. Specifically the Glimmer root. It is the root of a plant that…

A half-eaten bun flew across the fruit stand and hit the scrawny boy on the other end. The stand was filled to the brim with different kinds of fruit. It was dawn, and the fruit vendor hadn't made a sale yet. "Get out of here, you prick!" The man who threw the bun shouted at the boy. "Day just started and I already got a beggar. What luck!" The boy had been pestering the man for fruit. His request was met with a half-eaten bun to the face. The boy looked at the bun that fell to the ground after…
