Year 1, Spring, Third Month, Second Week. Karl spent the whole month trying to imprint a Rune successfully. Last night, he almost succeeded. To be fair, Runes were very advanced Keys, usually only taught to Specialists (third level Alchemists), it could take a normal Alchemist as much as ten years to achieve this rank. When Master AI gave an overview of the teaching plan, Karl pleaded for restructuring. He needed to learn something useful quickly, and he didn’t have the materials to craft Arrays. So…-

Year 1, Spring, Second Month, Second Week. At night, Karl was restless. No matter how much he tried, he couldn’t sleep. Through the straws, he could feel the cold ground and even the little stones that were hurting his back. The villagers’ sleeping conditions were far from ideal. They could only use the spare harvested straw to make something close to a bed. Fortunately, they were always too tired to notice or care. Karl was finally going to learn some magic, but the situation of the village had…

Year 1, Spring, Second Month, First Week. ‘-- For an Assistant (first level Alchemist), the most important material is the magic ink. The ink will conduct the energy through the drawings. Basically, you can make it from any material capable of conducting magic. However, the most common and effective conductive material is blood. --’ Karl was paying close attention to Master AI’s teachings and couldn’t help but be shocked when he heard about the blood. ‘-- Like blood, the sap from plants is…

After walking for half a day through the Path and separating from the other villages’ groups, they finally arrived home. As usual, the elders and some family members were waiting for them at the village entrance. The villagers didn’t look much better than the travelers. The living conditions and constant abuse made them look more like beggars than workers. From the children that suffered from bad nutrition and often got sick, passing through the adults that would be regularly overworked to death, to…

A young boy walked through a long corridor escorted by two pointy-eared slender figures. The corridor was formed by towering trees that grew further than the eye could see, their thick and long branches filled the empty spaces forming walls coated with countless vines and adorned by beautiful rare flowers. Once they got to the end of the magnificent path, a gate formed by thorny golden vines opened revealing a heavenly Garden. Fortunately, the boy was lost in amusement and missed the conversation inside.…

Arion saw many weapons like swords, axes, spears, sabers, daggers, and so on. However, his eyes landed upon a glaive with two long blades connected to each of its ends with a handle in the middle. Even though he had never used a glaive before, he could imagine that this weapon can be used for fast attacks while dealing severe damage to his enemies close range, of course. He thought back to his fight with the Jawfiends in all that darkness and remembered how they tried to attack him in a pack by trying to…-

"I am not late, am I?" Shun asked with a smile. However, Arion ignored him since his attention was mainly on the hideous corpse lying before Shun's feet. A dead Baneteeth! 'He actually did it?' Arion had to admit that if Shun indeed killed this Baneteeth on his own, then it was impressive. But the question was how he was able to do this while avoiding the onslaught of an entire horde? Old Zi came forward as he looked at the dead Baneteeth and crouched down to touch it, much to Arion's surprise wondering…

Arion still didn't understand one thing, "But can't we decide our own stakes? I mean, I can just play it safe at first and bet a small amount, right?" Old Zi shook his head and explained, "No, there is a minimum stake you have to place, and the way the whole arena works might be different than you think. Winning just once is not enough. You have to win a set number of matches to collect all the earnings you won. If you even lose one before winning the required number of matches, then you will lose…

Arion's lips parted in awe as he heard the story, and even though he wanted to believe that it was all just a myth, for the first time, he wondered if this story was really true since he heard and felt for himself, the final emotions of the woman. So he was sure that a woman died on this spot and somehow this tree was related to it. But he still thought of Goddess Alara as a myth unless he saw her or something. He was always someone who believed things with his own eyes instead of just words. But at the…

"My parents?" This was not the first time he had not wondered about his parents, but since he never even met his parents in this life and the previous life as well, he thought that he was destined to be an orphan in the end. Of course, he at least wanted to know who his real parents were and why they left him. But he believed that he had very few chances of finding it out since whoever his parents were, they probably didn't want to see him anymore. Even if he felt that the reason was a different one, he…
