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

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

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, Hero for Hire Chapter 27 – Introduction to the wonders
When Alex and Olive finally entered the dining room, all eyes were upon them. Alex sat on a chair and stared blankly at the food on the table. Olive put a slice of bread in his hands and said, “Eat this, Alex. Your friends told me you didn’t even eat lunch in your rush to arrive here. It will be a while before the dinner is ready, so it’s best if you put something in your stomach. Grief doesn’t give you strength, you know?” Alex took a small bite and faced James Macdonald. “I am sorry for bringing you here to such a sad event. I hope you enjoy visiting these lands tomorrow while I go to the Chamber of Lords. There is much to see, and if you have any doubts, I am sure Miss Olive can explain everything. Or at least, the not secretive bi

Ghar stopped munching and slowly reached for her cup, drinking the content in one go. She then put the cup down and grabbed her fork again with a trembling hand. Olive was showing her images of how she, Kayden, and Alex once tortured an Orc that acted as the Leader of a group of Monsters that decimated a village, and how Alex was so happy to eat Orc chops and roasted Orc thighs for one full week. Olive Andrews returned to her Human form on the chair next to Alex and spoke while staring at the female Orc that was still shaking, “Yes, she is very aware of what will happen to her if she doesn’t behave. I just showed her one of my memories of one Orc that caused a lot of deaths. Perhaps I exaggerated a tiny bit, judging by the way she is
Alex Brim, Hero for Hire Chapter 28 – Visiting the lands
In the morning, Alex had a quick breakfast with the others, and after changing into a set of clothes full of embroidery made of silver and with precious stones for buttons, he left in a very ostensive carriage pulled by four white horses, a uniformized driver, and a page. Anika Wright, Wenammy, and Pearl Pearson were with him inside the carriage, wearing rich dresses that the maids chose for them. Wenammy was touching the frills on the straps of her white dress while moving her back, trying to see if the dress got a little loose to make room for her hidden wings. Alex noticed she couldn’t be still and asked, “Wha

James Macdonald asked while looking up at a gigantic moving belt near the ceiling that carried rye to be dropped inside a gigantic pot over a fire. “But with Magic, it’s also possible to take care of a field in a matter of hours.” Olive slowly shook her head. “Not a field as big as we have. For one like ours, a Mage would need to rest for a day to gather enough Magic to continue. And we have several astonishingly big fields. Before Alex changed a few things, we didn’t have so many cropped fields or such big harvests because of a lack of people. With his creations, even a handful of workers can get the job done, and we now harbour many people because of the good life we provide for them. That created a lot of opportunities for Alex to

Meanwhile, Alex was in his carriage, deeply meditating, trying to get himself used to not letting his Magic float around inadvertently like Shinatobe kept on telling him. He slowly opened his eyes, and saw the three women in silence, looking through the windows at the scenery of the Capital of Beliersia they had just entered. He asked, a little puzzled, “What happened? Last time I looked, you three were about to go at each other’s throats.” Anika shrugged without even looking at him. “We reached a mutual consensus. It is foolish of us to fight because of you. We will all live for a v

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?”
