He was smiling as they approached his field. Nibbles was not. She had been in a foul mood ever since he had come to an agreement with the wolf. “You know this is a good thing. That wolf taking control of the pack means we can focus on improving the field instead of worrying about any attacks.” Nibbles turned her nose up at the explanation, confusing Cal about her dislike. “… Do you feel the wolf is untrustworthy?” He hadn’t considered it before since Nibbles had never indicated this might be…

Cal had been feeding the hearthstone his mana for nearly three hours, enough for his mana to recover to full capacity six times over before he emptied it. This still wasn’t close to filling the hearthstone, but at least it was nearly a quarter full. At least it wouldn’t be a struggle to sense the mana stored inside, unlike when he had first started. The hearthstone was meant to be used as a way to quickly refill any lost mana, and even then, it was only meant for emergencies. The transfer of mana was…

Cal should have returned to his field as quickly as possible, but he spent the trip back trying to turn his earth-sensing gimmick into an actual spell. What he had done to initially detect the mana residue was a very crude modification of an early, single step to cast He would need something more efficient and purposeful to consider it an entire spell. At least, for him to consider it a spell worthy enough to name. There were Initiates that modified small steps of established spells to get a slightly…

Cal had a wide smile on his lips. He didn’t think he had been so concerned about Seris’s whereabouts until he felt this much relief. “Woah! Boss, you look weird when you fake smile… but why are you fake smiling?” The smile on Cal’s face died a quick death. Seris brutally popped the little bubble of happiness, calling his concern ‘fake.’ “I was wondering if you decided to quit, Seris,” Cal drawled with a sarcastic smile. “You took a two-day vacation without letting me…

Cal frowned when he felt his hand run over a small bump on the left side of his torso. He patted it in confusion before his eyes quickly snapped open. He sat up quickly from the bed and slipped out of his robes before taking a large step away. It was an instinctive yet unnecessary action. The rock had been in his inner pocket for weeks without issue and was unlikely to cause any sudden problems. Cal picked up the robe and turned it over the dresser so the contents inside would fall out without him…

They left the pit as soon as the Overseer commanded the golems to restart their mining. And that had been minutes ago. Cal found it hard But even with that drastic personality change, the Overseer had never looked nervous. If anything, overconfidence was a far better description. “Should I be here for this?” Cal asked when the Overseer looked increasingly nervous. “The guildmaster already knows of your presence. There’s no point in running.” Cal didn’t speak further and waited patiently,…

“Not that I’m in a rush, but when will the carriage arrive?” Cal expected some sort of transportation to be waiting for them, but there was nothing of the sort. He couldn’t see the Overseer running around to travel through the territory, hence the assumption about the carriage. “Who said anything about a carriage?” The Overseer apparently enjoyed being unnecessarily cryptic. Cal shifted as they waited in silence. It hadn’t been longer than a few seconds in total, but when the Overseer was…

Cal tried using equipment other than the pickaxe, but it wasn’t nearly as effective. His field had no necessary work left, so anything he tried there would be purely to experiment with his trance state. The simple fact that the work was unnecessary made it nearly impossible to enter the trance state. Every action he took was accompanied by a thought about how pointless it was. So, to solve that issue, he decided to expand the size of his field by digging up more of the surface around its…

“You better take the blame! Cal told me to visit every day, and I missed yesterday because of you!” Nibbles kept her eyes closed and enjoyed the relaxing ride. The god’s underling was noisy, but she had her uses. Specifically, the top of her head was a comfortable place to nap. “Are you listening to me, Nibbles?!” Nibbles ignored the underling’s yapping and let her exhaust herself. She wished she hadn’t left the god’s land a few days ago, but she was forced to go out of fear that the god…

His eyes snapped open. The intense emotions he could feel from the dream woke him up. His mind continued to replay the newly returned memories of what he had done to Tarn. Every action that he had taken against Tarn wasn’t done under blind rage as he had assumed. It was calculated. He had been happier when the memories were lost and was blissfully unaware of his thoughts during the incident. Cal frowned in distaste at the truth. He left his room and exited the house to get some air. It was still the…
