When the first light of sunshine entered the shelter through the chimney, Alex began taking care of breakfast while waiting for the others to wake up.
The noise he was making with the pots and pans slowly woke up James Macdonald, who approached while rubbing his eyes. “Good morning, Mister Alex. Is it my impression, or are you louder than usual? Did you make all this racket on purpose to wake us up?”

Alex Brim, Hero for Hire Chapter 22 – Magical Voids 1
As they made the horses run along the main road, Anika kept on glancing at Pearl Pearson, angry at her not only because she was now another rival for Alex’s love, but mostly because until that day, she didn’t seem interested in him, and Anika was feeling betrayed by her. After almost two hours of fast runs alternated with trots for the horses to rest, James Macdonald raised his fist, telling everyone behind him to stop. Alex was next to him and looked in front, where, at almost one hundred meters, Sarutahiko Okami was standing on an open field on the left side of the road. In front of her, tall burning mountains surrounded a horde of Monsters with only one exit facing the powerful Spirit.

James Macdonald gave a big smile and tapped Alex’s back a few times. “Thank you! With you around, this Quest won’t be as dangerous as I thought! Maybe we have a chance of surviving this with our pockets full of Magical Orbs and gold coins, after all!” “Talking about Magical Orbs, I just want four. Two for me and two for Okami. You can have the others and divide them with everyone.” “Sure, but you deserve more than that, considering that it was your plan and straightforward leadership that granted us an easy victory!”

The female Orc tilted her head, puzzled by that strange language. She placed her right fist on her chest and said, “Ghar!” She then pointed at Alex with a raised left eyebrow. As he didn’t speak, she hit her chest again and repeated, “Ghar!” Alex nodded and answered while hitting his chest as well, “Alex!” The female Orc twisted her lips in an effort to repeat the weird word, “Ax!”

Anika slowly opened her right hand, already with a tiny ball of compressed water. “Do as you like. I don’t care if they kill you or not, you know that.” Wenammy increased the Magic in her hands while looking at the approaching group. “Stupid fish, sometimes I hate you so much...” Anika made a slight smile and answere

James Macdonald slowly nodded. “I think I understand your point of view. But... Aren’t you worried about us finding out so much about you? Because, until recently, you were being rather secretive. You barely spoke on our last Quest, and I was questioning my choice of hiring you to help us out with getting rid of that vast horde of Goblins. Well, at least until I saw how you so easily defeated that Four-Armed-Orc. Despite that moment, you led me to believe you didn’t care if Gabriel got killed or not, but then I understood it was a tactic to make the Four-Armed-Orc angry so that he would let go of Gabriel’s foot without harming him. It totally worked, by the way.”

Gabriel Dawson rushed to Anika Wright and carried her in his arms. James Macdonald transformed his face from surprise to admiration and asked Alex in a whisper, “How could she move with that speed? I didn’t even see her! And she immediately detected Ghar and found out that Anika was a Mermaid? How?” “Miss Olive Andrews is... a very special woman. She was once the fighting teacher of the Earl’s troops and was with him and my father in the war with ‘The Galtian Khaganat’. Despite her age, she is more than able to knock out all of us if we annoy her. Let’s try not t
Alex Brim, Hero for Hire Chapter 26 – Orc contract
As they were all waiting for Olive Andrews to bring them the bottles of the unknown alcoholic drinks, Alex entered Earl Kayden’s bedroom, and as Alex sat on the empty chair near the Earl’s table, he spoke, after a deep sigh, “Alex, you know I don’t have children because I lost them during the war to a group of Goblins that attacked this house while I was away, and I completely gave up on having another family. Ever since your father brought you here, I have always considered you my son. That’s why I chose you as my heir long ago. I took proper measures the moment I felt my body getting weak, but I hoped to talk with you before I died. I almost couldn’t, but fortunately, you sent that Spirit of the Water to my aid, and for that, I thank you. I may not have enough time, but I have one favour to ask you. Conside
Alex Brim, Hero for Hire Chapter 26.1
Olive’s Magic enveloped them, and Ghar opened wide her eyes, wondering what all that Magic was about to do to her. She couldn’t break contact with that strange old female, because the Magic was freezing her body. Then, memories rushed to Ghar’s mind, a flow of endless images for all the hundreds of years that Olive lived. On the other side, Olive was seeing Ghar’s childhood, her continuous fights with her ten siblings, and later on, with all the youngsters in an arena, training all day to master their skills. Olive watched how Ghar was taught by her mother, a strong female that never smiled, h

Alex Brim was already thirty-five, and for the last two years, he had been living permanently in Azurath because his forever-young look was making people suspicious of him on Earth. So, without informing anyone, he purchased two one-way tickets to Nepal for himself and Hangaku Mae, leaving on his kitchen counter a single note stating that they were going to live in a secluded monastery deep in the mountains for their retirement, leaving behind his stressful work at the Earthquake Institute and as a part-time teacher at Tokyo Metropolitan Nishi High School.

After nearly an hour of walking, they arrived at the vicinities of the main gate of the Imperial Palace. Sakamo thought it was weird if she lived there, but probably her parents worked there. To his surprise, a group of four men ran to them as soon as they recognised the Princess, and one of them shouted to Sakamo, “Let her go! Why are you holding her hand like that? Why did you kidnap her?” Sakamo felt Hiko trembling as she hid behind him, and he whispered, “What do these guys want? Are they friends of those guys this morning?”
