Year 2, Summer, Second Month, First Week. The tension in the Council meeting was so high that it was almost visible in the air. The veteran team members already decided to support Karl’s plan while Omero was definitely against it. He would, nonetheless, pay attention to every word to scrutinize it later, any holes in the plan would be a chance to discredit Karl. “I asked for a meeting today to propose and discuss an escape plan… First, I want to explain where we would move and why.

The collapsing sound broke Wein’s concentration, making him misdraw the last part of the Property Extraction Array.

Year 2, Spring, Third Month, First Week. “Boss… Their accommodation and food don’t match at all… I never ate so much meat before, but this bed…” The man looked at the straw bundle under him with a sad and disappointed expression. Chief Omero arranged the best materials they had for Keller’s accommodation, even so, the straw bedding was too poor. Even the cheap Inns would provide something better. “Stop complaining or I’ll let you sleep on the ground… Their food is surprisingly…

After Lew’s group returned from the Death Forest, they met with the Beastman guide who was waiting for them in a nearby Tribe.

Year 2, Spring, Third Month, First Week. “I think that’s Caiset…” Keller looked expectantly at the distant village. From distance, it looked like a normal small size village. But how could it not? If they had any visible peculiarities, wouldn’t they attract the Kingdom’s attention? The common structure for a Kingdom’s village was quite simple. In the center, a large square, used for announcements and the annual inspection. The square would be circled by small huts, usually, 20 square…

Year 2, Spring, First Month, Fourth Week. Sania walked slowly towards the dark alley. After killing the man, she ran around for two hours before she finally found the old-looking bakery with a big D on the store sign, which meant that her destination was the alley in the left corner of the store. She swallowed dry, took out her dagger and placed the crystal in the holder inside her coat before continuing to walk carefully until her surroundings became too dark to see walls around her. “Are you…

Year 2, Spring, Month 1, Fourth Week. ‘Arghh... Can't we walk faster?... The kids from other villages look way worse than ours... I hope we can just get this over with fast...’ Sania looked indifferently to the other commoners walking in the Path. She started the journey four days ago and they should be arriving at Wind Castle soon. Even though she pretended to not care, she was curious about the city. When the Serions came for the inspection, Sania was one of the few 15 years old present. Her…
