Akira was sitting in the same hard chairs as yesterday while waiting for the two grandmasters to arrive. ‘I wonder what type of test they have planned for me,’ thought Akira while tapping his finger on the long wooden table. A half hour passed before the door to the office opened with both Deve Hobs and Beel Geets walking in. …
Chapter 19
The early days of the journey were rather slow for Laurence, Yun and Louisa. They spent a few hours learning to deal with the turbulence and then the rest of the time either sleeping or working on some edifice of their cultivation that they understood less of than they should have. It helped both Laurence and Louisa to have Yun …
Chapter 18
The hustle and bustle of Slipstream was overwhelming to Laurence and Yun. Neither of them had ever been in a city before, so the sights, sounds and smells were like being dumped into an unfamiliar jungle. Slipstream was not a large city, but it was a sizable port. There were hundreds of people passing through the port every day, going …

“This is the Magic Guilds headquarters!” said Lue while pointing at the building in front of him. “Wow it’s big,” said Akira as he stared at the building in front of him.

Chapter 17 Volume 1: Forging a Foundation Scene Nine
The sharp clanging of Ian’s new hammer echoed throughout the shop upon striking a small slab of piping hot metal clamped to the anvil.

Starting from the break of dawn, Gaelan began teaching him a new technique called peining used to spread out metal with the …

Akira and Owin stood behind a wagon full of vegetables. They had been standing in the long line waiting to enter the city since early dawn when they had reached the capital city of Fregoldawae. Fregoldawae was known as the merchant city due to it being controlled mainly by the large merchant Guild that was made up of multiple merchant …
Chapter 15
The strike that would have taken Laurence’s head swung towards him but never arrived. Moments before it would have landed, Yveth was knocked aside by a human cannonball. The speed of the human moving was slightly beyond what either of them could see, so Yveth had no chance to respond before being flung aside like a ragdoll. She crashed into …
Chapter 14
A magma cleft room was what Laurence was confronted with when he arrived at the next testing stage. He and Yun had apparently made good time despite spending a large amount of it messing about and improving in his creative art. He had come a long way, but in his eyes he was still just beginning.
