Jon POV
It has not been a week since my wedding with Margaery, and the capital city of Westeros has entered another festival—a tourney to choose new Kingsguard. It was almost a more significant event than my wedding. At first, it was meant to be scheduled jus...

Eye for a soup
Today was an ordinary Friday in the first month of June. It was also the birthday of Utakata. From today onward, he would be five. It meant nothing to anyone else and even less to Utakata. It was just another day. That was also his birthday. He ate, studied, a...

The most brutal lessons in the academy were the taijutsu. It would happen only once a week for the new students, at least for now. Utakata quickly grasped the ideology of Mist’s standard taijutsu. It was brutal and offensive. Aside from basic blocking, the instructo...

As the sun rose, so were the children forced to leave their beds by an instructor and raise. The instructor rang a bell as he walked inside the dormitory. Utakata rose without a complaint, even if he still had heavy eyelids. He grimaced at the light a...

Life of an orphan was already quite challenging, especially during the war. Children with no potential for shinobi arts were mainly ignored and left to survive alone. Of course, some orphanages gave a roof and food, even if it wasn’t enough for growing chi...

I recognize the man who tried to kill me. It’s the Titan’s bastard, Mero. I wish the wizard didn’t crush his neck, as I wanted to do that. Was it out of revenge that he targeted me, or was there something more? Once the wizard helped to free my leg, ...
