The sun in the skies wasn’t shining as much as he usually did over the past few months.Every adult in the town was busy doing something. Some were mourning the loss of their loved ones. Some were repairing the broken houses and damaged property. Some were leaving the town having made profits or suffered losses. But in all of them, the memories of the Burden War were still fresh.Children were also busy playing. Even though the parents told them to stay inside, they sneaked out eventually. And they were living in their own little worlds, playing with the monster parts and being innovative and all.Meanwhile, Harley was in the south-east end of the town. He found some beasts bodies in quick mud, but there wasn’t a single sheep among them. “What happened to the sheep? Even if they somehow managed to

After bathing and getting ready, the siblings came downstairs and were invited into the VIP dining room where Saiga’s family was waiting. So many food varieties they never saw let alone tasted before were waiting for them on the classy glass dining table. Mutton soup. Cured meat. Fish. Eggs. Pickle. White rice. Freshly baked bread. Cheese. Roasted meat. And more. And the siblings couldn’t help but swallow their saliva. They were thinking he would have prepared some vegetable rice at best, but this was above and beyond their expectations. “Please take your seats,” Saiga’s wife, Christina, said. The siblings sat on the opposite side, and she personally served them food. “Don’t be shy. All of these are made just for you.” Fabby was utterly baffled. She didn’t know why t

Fabby noticed that there were at least forty jars in the back of the cart. She could smell ale from them. “Where are we carrying all this ale?” “Ah, Mr. Saiga told me to sell this ale along the way,” replied the driver, his eyes on the road. “Can you sell all this in just a couple of days?” There should be at least a couple hundred hundred liters in there, she thought. “The owner of the hotel we stopped by an hour back asked me to sell all of them, but because we didn’t agree with the price, I didn’t sell.” “Oh,” she was pleasantly surprised, “it seems that ale is in rich demand.” “Yes. After the beast tide, the rivers become dirty for a while, and the adults don’t drink milk, so…” Last Updated : 2022-03-30

“We’ve arrived,” at dawn, the driver’s voice reached Edgar’s ears.He woke Fabby up. The side of her forehead was injured, so it was covered with bandages.Both of them got down at what seemed like in the middle of a long arching road. On the right side of it was forest, but on the left side was what seemed like a mountain with an opening like that of a cave.“Is this the way?” Edgar asked to confirm.“Yes, sir,” the driver replied. His whole face was swollen from the beating he had received from Edgar. After the bullet barely missed Fabby, seeing her fall down, Edgar rampaged and thrashed the three bandits, especially the driver. If the driver hadn’t said that the bullet missed and his sister was still alive, h

The second round was taking place in rooms, with the participants using their brains to answer the list of questions. Everyone seemed involved, except for one fellow, whose pen wasn’t moving all that much. “What is this? No one told me there’d be a written test.” This participant’s eyes bulged out as he tried his hardest to understand the questions, so much so that the red nerves had become visible. This person was Edgar. He looked at Fabby, who sat beside him in the next column. Unlike him, she was scribbling like a poet in flow. “Just what’s she writing? She didn’t touch a book for many years.” Edgar couldn’t help but murmur in frustration. “Shh!” the examiner signaled Edg
