After sitting, Aleks engaged in some trivial conversation with the Bishop until Nelay was finished serving the tea. Once he had exhausted his “How should I address you..?” Aleks asked while holding in his anger. “Ah, allow me to introduce myself. I am Bishop Girard of the Church of Mimir, god of wisdom and knowledge. He who tends to the …

Aleks didn’t waste any more time and headed back towards the hotel where he knew Brock would be waiting.

Lenia left along with the proprietress and the other female slaves who weren’t chosen. Only Aleks, Grobak, and the slave Alek’s chose remained.

Chapter 58: Respeccing (3)
Aleks waved Lenia off and told Grobak to stand to the side for now and remain quiet.

If Grobak …

The markets where slaves were viewed and sold were all outside the western city gates. There, the sprawl spread for miles into the distant horizon. There were no roads and it was difficult to navigate the sprawl. Colorful tents and signs littered the area creating pathways which twisted and turned with no end in sight. There was also the occasional …
Chapter 53: New companions (1)
The city of Kordusk was much more lively than usual with throngs of people walking its streets. Entering the city plaza was almost like walking into a convention from Aleks’s old world. Although Aleks had never participated in such conventions which he found trivial and meaningless, there were many people who enjoyed dressing up as their favorite fantasy characters and …
