The familiar red walls of rocks surrounded us. Shiki slid his hand on a tiny crack and pushed a fake wall aside, revealing another hidden room. The Goblins scrambled to enter. That had been their usual routine after a hunt. I sighed. Another failure. We’d been hunting for the past few days. Be it Nighthowls, Three-fanged Vipers, and there was …

Feeling the hardwood under my butt, I leaned forward and put my elbows on my knees. Intertwining my fingers and putting it under my chin. I stared at the ten floating Mossquitoes. They indeed were amazing. Despite flying around me for hours, I didn’t hear a single buzz. But still, I was frustrated, confused, and dumbfounded all at the same …

“How was your training? What level are you now?” The cloaked little girl kept jumping around me like a bunny, asking one question after the other. “Are you strong now? Did you have fun? Who’s this? Is this your familiar? Mount? Slave?” “Yes, yes. Nice to see you too, Lureschka,” I said, half chuckling, half trying to stop the little …

“Ugh!” With the adrenaline rush fading, a sharp pain shot from my back. Shiki genuflected, head low and hand on chest. “I have failed you, my liege. I shall accept any punishment.” I groaned harder, the pain was so intense that nothing was registering to me anymore. I couldn’t even respond to Shiki. My body hit the hardwood of our …

With my subordinates being surrounded, our plans were basically down the drain. We needed to cross the cliff immediately if we still wanted to save Bria. Using the route the Goblins and Nighthowls used was out of commission, or else, the adventurers would have already escaped even before we could reach the other side. Instead, I figured improvising was our …

Despite the goblins’ dissatisfaction, they grinded the entire night and leveled up. The strongest was now level 16, while the other two were a level behind. Outside the cave were five Nighthowls, four of which were recently subjugated. The weakest was level 17, but he was also the one leading the other four, which were a level above him.  Shiki, …

After hunting another set of Three-fanged Vipers, my hunch was verified. As long as …

Garr gave us a run through as to who the Golden Sun was. He was the hero depicted by the tall sculpture in the middle of the village, which we hadn’t had the chance to see. Garr confirmed that Castel was a fairly recently established village. Apparently, it used to be a goblin village that was razed by an army …

“Are you guys ready?” I nodded to the goblins. Three dark purple-scaled vipers were slithering a few meters away from us. Unlike the ones that Riihoku fought in the Hatchery, though, these were at least my height. Their scales were also a darker purple, and their fangs more prominent. “Brings some memories, eh, Rihoku?” I gently patted Rihoku’s head, and …

With twelve blue metal coins clinking in my pouch, we headed to the inn the attendant told us. With only twelve shlings, I figured ensuring that we have a roof to shelter us for the night was the top priority. Even though Bria could just teleport us back to the Hatchery, I’ve guessed that was similar to wearing a neon …
