The fourth test room was like the others, it showed the same motif as the floor before it, but intensified to the nth degree. When Laurence and Yun walked into the area they were confronted by walls and floors of gemstone. Everywhere their eyes moved was sheathed in crystal. It was beautiful, but screamed decadence in a way that nothing …
Chapter 12
Laurence looked at the gems in front of him. There were ten that he could use as enchantments, but only one he could make a weapon out of. A large sheet of Salamandrite had smashed in front of him while he was exploring the cavern and the stones he had salvaged from the accident were paltry. If he could have …
Chapter 11
Cleo stood breathlessly in a bizarre abyss. The place was like an Escher painting that had been torn into pieces and scattered in every direction. There were stairs leading nowhere, doors that connected to themselves and odd windows that looked into parallel universes. It hurt her head to think about the area too much, it obviously was not meant for …
Arc 2 Chapter 25: Escort
“You’re leaving?” asked Delgar. “Yes, I have to keep searching for my companions. For now, I’ll probably go to Fregoldawae the capital city of merchants. Since it’s such a large city I might get lucky and meet them or discover some information that can help me find them,” said Akira. “But you only just got here,” said Delgar standing up …

Chapter 16 Volume 1: Forging a Foundation Scene Eight
Ian’s eyelids slowly flickered open. The first thing he noticed was the kink in his neck. On top of that, his brain throbbed as though repeatedly smacked by a rubber mallet. The soreness made him groan. Briefly, confusion swam through his mind as he tried to gather his bearings. The cool damp rag resting on his forehead certainly helped. “Oh, …
Arc 2 Chapter 23: Mine Your Manners II
It was still night time when Delgar and Akira finally cleared all but one of the branches in the last tunnel. They had been unsuccessful at finding any Aorium ore so far. There was an abundance of iron and copper ore which was nice but not exactly what they were looking for. “This is our last chance to find some …
Arc 2 Chapter 22: Mine your manners
“Is it really that dangerous?” asked Akira. “I don’t know how dangerous it is, because I have never gone inside. The only thing I know is that no one has exited the mine after entering. So the mayor had it blocked in order to stop people from entering. I myself have often wished to enter the mine in order to …
Chapter 15 Volume 1: Forging a Foundation Scene Seven
At the break of dawn, Ian and Gaelan headed back through the portal and arrived in the dank caverns within Mount Sacris. Of course, Ian made coffee before leaving to avoid the possibility of a caffeine headache. The two of them exited the cave and traversed down the mountainside. The rising sun cast warm beams of light across the sky, …
Arc 2 Chapter 21: Hammer and anvil

The table was cluttered with multiple empty plates, most of which had been emptied by Delgar. “What did I tell you? This place sure can …
