Chapter 41: Your first muder.

Cerion and I stared at the guild leader nervously. He was tapping his fingers against his desk, deep in thought. When we had returned to Reito, we had done as planned and inquired about getting a tier 3 quest. Doran hadn't been willing to help us out, so we had needed to go to the guild leader wi...

Chapter 40: A month of quests.

"So, what do you think?"

I could only nod in response as I regarded my newly made suit of armour. It was coloured a dark grey, bordering on black, with white-coloured engravings adorning the metal. The suit was a full set of plate armour.

"It's beautiful."

"Damn right, it is!" t...

Chapter 39: A Restaurant visit.

The next day, Cerion and I agreed to meet up to tour the city. He wanted to visit a restaurant that was opening up and I still had to pick up my newly made set of armour later today.

I spent a few hours training in the morning to pass the time, and we met up around noon at the entrance of t...

Chapter 38: Being chastised.

I was starting to hate tiering up my skills. The idea of becoming more powerful was awesome, of course, but with every decision you made, you would abandon two more.

[Mental Fortress] would aid me in my defence from outside influences, which was impressive. Sadly, it didn't look like it wou...

2 days of no chapters.

I'm getting a minor surgery tomorrow. As a result there won't be any chapters that day or the day after. Daily uploads will resume as normal on the seventeenth of June. 

Sorry, guys.

Thanks for the support!

Chapter 37: Fighting above your tier.

The cyclone tore into the monster's eyes, causing it to shriek in a demonic fashion. Purple blood sprayed out from its wound as the water continued to devastate its face, digging deeper and deeper into its carapace.

I took advantage of the spider's temporarily stunned state to continue heal...

Chapter 36: Getting overwhelmed.

After a few minutes, I recovered from my shock. It seemed these larger spiders had eaten far more humans than we had previously estimated. Either that, or they somehow did grow their skulls themselves.

Something was fishy about this whole situation. Tsuchigumo were an invasive spec...

Chapter 35: What a feat.

"Are you alright?" I asked Cerion.

He had the good humour to smile and joke around.

"Do I look alright? I'm covered in spider blood! Don't think I'll ever hire your sloppy workmanship again, peasant!"

From his tone, I could tell he wasn't being serious.

"My apologies, your...

Chapter 34: Ew, bug guts!

Cerion and I were inspecting the quest board. It had some abbreviated quest files pinned to it, though most weren't necessarily that interesting to us.

Quest: Exterminate the rats

Tier: 2

Danger level: Low

Recommended party size: 1

Chapter 33: Going shopping with a literal child.

I took some time to think about the events that had occurred the day before, and realised that I would have to talk to my uncle in the capital to figure this whole thing out. I still had two more months to gain as many levels as possible before the tournament.

If I wanted to win, I needed a...

Chapter 32: Death of one enemy, birth of another.

With the Duke's support secured, I could now rest a little bit easier. A few more days had gone by, and the other hunters were getting anxious to return to their guard duty and quests. The spire wasn't exactly a homelike place and there wasn't much to do here but train either.

Still, an eve...

Chapter 31: The creation of a skill.

Another wave came in, slamming into my defences. I cut it apart as best I could, but a large part still got through my maelstrom. Unfortunately, my shield wasn't waterproof.

The part of the attack that got through tore into me and left some cuts on my face. My dark form healed a moment late...

Chapter 30: The Coldwater palace.

A few hours later the thick foliage started to thin, the ground started drying up and the trees started becoming smaller again. We were through the worst of it, and were now leaving the swamp.

I heaved a sigh of relief. This meant that we had escaped the swamp monster successfully. Despite ...

Chapter 29: An eye in the dark.

We had made quick progress over the past few days, since traveling on horseback was rather quick compared to traveling on foot. I thanked Helios that I'd never be forced to walk for three days straight again, with Revan now being big enough to carry me.

I hadn't interacted much with the peo...

Chapter 28: Another departure.

The next day I went out to practice again. I had gotten a bit of success with my sword-extending training and cut a tree in half with a single swing. I had had to cover my sword with the overloaded mana and then let it loose as I swung. With the right timing and movement, I could extend my sword ...

Chapter 27: Inherited trait.

The next day, I had gone through the same steps of the day before. Wake up, drop off Michael at the orphanage and then travel to my training spot outside of the city.

I had decided to finally summon Revan's tier 2 form. He was probably excited to show it off.

I found myself in the now...

Chapter 26: The folly of making bad jokes.

The appraiser had had to contact the office head, who was a tier 4 appraiser, to find out what the status of the sword was. He had rushed out of his office when he had found out what he was dealing with, which meant I wouldn't have to wait long to finally get answers. The head appraiser was a rou...

Chapter 25: The mystery of the sword.

The incensed [Paladin] went on to make good on his promise and beat me black and blue for the next half an hour.

I had gotten some good practice in with my [Overload Aura] when I tried to block him, but ultimately it had fallen to my dark form to keep me in fighting shape as Doran's attacks...

Chapter 24: The bald patches of the [paladin].

The next morning, I woke up in my small room in the guild quarters. Michael was still sleeping in the extra bed the servants had delivered last night. I tiptoed to my day clothes and put them on, before quietly leaving the room. When I arrived at the mess hall, I found Doran already there, eating...
