In the Elven capital of Sharandor, on the continent of Grand Mandura, there was a huge conference room supported by Giants pillars. in the middle of it was a big round glossy table as multiple individuals could be seen sitting around the table with several guards standing around the room walls
"And just as I promised, another shipment would arrive by the next week, which will help with the need for supplies at the shores," said a dwarf who was quite larger for a dwarf, wearing brown plated armor, his head was bald with a red tattoo of a war hammer, rocking a big braided beard sitting next to the Elven King, he was the dwarven king olaf.
"That is fantastic news. So, King Olaf, tell me how things have been going in your kingdom lately. "I've heard you've had some problems with stock theft; have you found out who's to blame yet?" inquired the elven king.
"Oh right, we did." We disco
While glancing at the king, the sage just nodded and removed the robes that covered his upper body. displaying his bare chest to everyone and startling them with something that attracted their attention and made them look bemused and disbelieving"Impossible....don't tell me that is....the dark blight," mumbled king Olaf, as he and the rest of the table stared at the sage in astonishment." This happened after I received a severe hit from that dark elf during our last fight. He was not only powerful, but he also had the ability to summon the dark blight's powers. According to our ancestors' records, only the lord and a select few dark elves wielded the dark blight during the old war. This is not the case this time. "This one claimed to be simply a servant," the sage stated, his torso exposed. The skin around the wound showed dark blue areas with many dark veins running over his body, indicating a major infection.<
* Arghh **Thud*" This carcass is too heavy; how far will we have to travel before we reach the town?" As he sat panting, tired after lugging what appeared to be a giant boar-like beast carcass tied over a wooden frame, said a young guy. He was frail, dressed in light leather armor that had seen better days with a long bow slung around his back. He had short dark hair and a tanned complexion. Fares was his name." Ah, fares, I told you we'd have less trouble if we hired a little wagon or someone strong enough to help, but you didn't want to split the earnings with anyone. It's not far from here we're halfway to the town. "I think we should take a break and continue dragging this before it attracts unwanted attention," said another bald young man, he had a golden earring and was dressed in fur armor and with a war axe around his waist. He was slightly more muscular than his partn
"I couldn't see it because it was invisible, it was also incredibly fast and it hit me pretty hard, look," said Siphex as he showed everyone on the carriage the scratches on his chest.Fares screamed, "Damn!""Wooo, that must have hurt you a lot, look at how damaged your armor is" Malek replied, looking at the scars on Siphex's chest." Yeah, it didn't hurt that much, and I was strong enough to battle it, which later led me to arrive at this place," Siphex explained." Damn you've been through a lot, but you're also strong since you've managed to overcome all those difficulties," fares exclaimed in awe."Tell me about it, stranger. How has your journey been since arriving at the ruins? And how did you learn about the town's existence?" Asked oldman Rodger as the carriage slowly moved over some damaged part of the road. "Eaaaaaaaaaaasy little girl,""Your question is reasonable; while I was leaving the ruins, I came across a group of people and, let's say, disturbed whatever they were
'I can't say I'm prepared for this many people,' Siphex reflected as he neared the Longfoot Inn's entrance. pushing the wooden door, Siphex was greeted by a vast, vibrant, and raucous environment upon entering the Inn; inside, there was a large area supported by several wooden pillars with large crystals hanging from them, illuminating the area. The place was packed with customers of different ages and backgrounds at numerous tables. Looking around and observing the chaotic situation of the inn, Siphex was about to take a step forward when someone remarked, "Welcome to the Longfoot Inn, you must be a tired traveler, we have food, drinks, and comfortable beds, what can I help you with?" From the side, a feminine voice said. When Siphex turned around, he saw a female beastkin in a waitress uniform bringing a tray with multiple mugs, smiling at him. "I'm looking for some information," mumbled Siphex, ensuring that the cowl covered the majority of his face. When the waitress heard Sip
Siphex rose up from the table and decided to leave the inn, thinking, 'I'm hoping the drake's horns would bring me enough mana stones.'As soon as Siphex had made up his mind about going to the alchemist, he stood up and walked away from the table, heading for the exit. However, as he walked between the tables toward the exit of the inn, he remembered the two suspicious guys from earlier and cast a glance in their direction while he was walking, but they were not there, since their table was empty.'Did they leave as well....eh?' Siphex's thoughts were interrupted, though. He acidently pumped into one of the servers who was holding a tray of beverages, forcing her to slip and drop the drinks on a nearby table crowded with individuals, as he was not paying attention." Ahhh," shouted the waitress as she leapt to her feet and apologized profusely to the guests at the table as she began to wipe up the spilt beverages.'Sh*t, forgot this place is too packed,' siphex mused as he shifted hi
"my kind? By that do you mean a challenger??" As he raised his brows, Siphex said." Oh no no, I already knew you were a challenger, but that wasn't my point, I meant your race," chuckled the baron as he slid a mug of wine in front of Siphex.'So he found out that Iam a monster, is this an ambush, is that why he requested me to follow him here?' siphex thought as he heard the man mention that he knows about his race and looked at the man pooring a cup of wine for himself. 'Was it these two, or was it someone else?' Siphex, on the other hand, cast a quick glance behind him at the two guys on the table and prepared to defend himself and flee at any minute." You seem disturbed, but don't worry, iam not your enemy. that's why I wanted to speak with you alone, dark elf," the man remarked as he smiled at Siphex before taking a sip of wine.'Wait, what?' So he mistook me for a dark elf, rather than a monster? 'How did he come up with that assumption?' Siphex was perplexed, but his gaze rema
Siphex was hidden in an alley behind the line of stores as he exited the book store through the window. 'I can't believe that worked, they really went behind that decoy thinking it was me,' Siphex thought, his senses heightened as he checked his surroundings to ensure all was well.As soon as he was free of the stalkers, he quietly returned to the street and proceeded on his way to the alchemist.'How much further do I have to walk to get there?' Siphex, on the other hand, had been going into the same direction for quite some time. After a while, the road came to an end as he was greeted by a small clearing in a garden, with a few buildings facing the garden on all sides, one of which was a mid-sized building made of wood and stones, but there was something odd about it as a large tree was piercing through its roof, and it was also covered with plants and vegetations.'I guess the baron wasn't lying when he claimed i wouldn't miss it,' siphex thought as he reached the clearing and app
A temperate big camp can be seen placed along the shoreline, encircled by many defenses and with hunderds of soliders, campfires, and tents under the silent curtain of night, just outside adjacent to the nourthern shores of Gran Mundora. Three individuals can be seen gathered around a tiny circular table with papers and maps thrown on it inside a larger tent stood above others strongly guarded by soldiers in the center of the camp. "Just as his grace had expected, the s ranked adventurers have sent their report from scouting the eastern part of the continent; you know, it's been a month since they were sent to scout the dark continent, and no one expected that they would be attacked by a group of strange humanoid type monsters at some point during their scouting." "As they struggled with the monsters, their scouting progress was significantly hindered, as the creatures have shown to be rather difficult to deal with. Surprisingly, the monsters worked in tandem, with some defending whi
