Chapter 7: Adventurer’s Corner

Diana grabbed her sword and prepared to leave. With a wave at Howard, she told him that she’d be taking a stop at the Adventurer’s Corner to look at the local quests before visiting the Baroness and the Castle Training Grounds. Walking down the path, she encountered Kira who was sitting down a bench leading up to James’s house and …

Chapter 6: The Free Lantern

Diana had wanted to visit the Adventurer’s Corner, but upon realizing how exhausted both Kira and she were from that simple excursion, she decided to head home.

James took a deep breath, dreading what he expected to find. Opening his front door, he saw four young adventurers waiting on his doorstep with Howard wearily sitting on his seat. Ugh. He hated dealing with heroes. They always acted so cliche. The neighborhood kids were one thing to deal with, trained and experienced fighters with Classes another. Putting on …

Chapter 1: Glorious Morning

James stretched his arms over his head before discovering that Kira was not in his bed. Then he remembered that she would usually be cooking breakfast by now for the three residents of the shop. He imagined whatever delicious concoction she was brewing downstairs; he could almost sniff the aroma drifting through his home. He recalled her lying down beside …
