Levelling Up The Weakest System A Forest of Lies
Alexei and Neave had equal looks of wonder on their face as the dragonhorse that they had purchased pulled their caravan along the path that cut through the wood at the south of the great city of Alandria. He had heard that there were woods to the south of the city where he had spent most of his life, and he had experienced some of them when he was a child growing up and training to get his skills high enough to join the Academy. But it had been a very very long time since he had seen any, and none as beautiful as the ones that were before him. Each of the trees had a trunk thicker than the wheel of their caravan, and they stretched high up into the sky, creating a canopy of leaves that the sunlight from above was only just capable of breaking through. All around him birds sang to one another, chirping out from the branches, while other creatures explored the undergrowth. “It’s beautiful out here,” Alexei said from his seat next to Risa at the front of the caravan. “Wouldn’t you

After a few hours of travelling, some of which Alexei spent napping, Risa brought the caravan to a halt. The sudden stop jerked Alexei awake with a yelp. “What’s wrong, why we stopped?” Alexei stumbled over his words as he pulled himself from his sleep. “We’ve arrived at the first place that it’d make sense to stop,” Risa said, “A town some ways south of Alandria. I don’t know much about it, but while you were sleeping the Dragonhorse and I have been working hard and we both need rest.” Alexei smiled at Risa sheepishly, “Sorry about that, it’s been a pretty intense couple of weeks.” Risa rolled her eyes, “I’m not having a go at you dummy, I’m just saying that you were probably asleep for a little while longer than you thought.” Alexei poked his head out of the front flap of the caravan and was shocked to see that the day had already given way to night. “That’s not going to do my sleep schedule any favours,” He remarked, “Does this town have a stable or are we going to need to f

“I’m sorry, did you say that there are shades in this area?” Alexei asked, “This close to the capital?” “Well, it’s what people say,” The barkeep replied with a shrug, “People have been going missing in the night without a trace, I suppose it could be something else, but the woods don’t really have any big or dangerous creatures in them around here.” Alexei nodded, he felt a little bit reassured by the barkeep's lack of information. The likelihood of it actually being a shade and not something else was pretty low, though the fact there was something killing off people in the town still made him feel a little bit anxious. “Well, shades or not, we can’t turn back to Alandria,” Alexei said. The barkeep sighed, long and drawn out, “On your head be it. Two rooms will be two pieces, one for each room for each night you stay here.” “We’ll only be here for the one night I should think,” Alexei said before retrieving the two gold pieces from his knapsack. He placed them down on the bar

“Okay Neave, since I don’t want to wake you up when I get back later, you’re going to be sharing a room with Risa tonight, okay?” Alexei said as the three walked up the stairs to the overnight rooms of the tavern. She nodded her agreement and grabbed Risa’s hand with a grin, and not for the first time Alexei found himself glad that the girl and the mage got along so well. “You promise me you’re going to be careful, right?” Risa said, “It’d be really annoying to wake up in the morning just to find out that you’d been turned into a shade or ripped apart by a bear.” “I wouldn’t get ripped apart by a bear,” Alexei snorted, “But yeah, I promise I’ll be careful. Recon only, and if anything tries to attack me I’ll run right back here.” She stared him down for a few moments, hoping that he’d change his mind about going out to hunt the thing… whatever the thing was. Then, seeing that he clearly wasn’t going to change his mind, she tugged on Neave’s hand. “Come on then, let’s get you in be

Alexei had learned a lot from the Mages over his time living at the Mage Temple, even if he hadn’t really been around it very much. Magery was never going to be something he was incredible at, but the bare bones basics? He’d taken to those quite well. With a flick of his foci and a muttered incantation, an orb of glowing light sputtered into life at the tip of his staff, illuminating his direct surroundings. The town, which he had thought looked beautiful and quaint during the day, had taken on a spookier appearance at night. A wind whistled through the streets and the ominous creaking of shop signs in the breeze sent shivers down his spine. “Okay,” Alexei said to himself, “Let’s have a look at what we’ve got here, because something tells me it wasn’t a shade. I’d know if it were a shade…” There was something that he’d learned from the memories of the Demon Lord, and the time that he’d made his own shade by accident. When a shade was created it generated a long-lasting ozone sme
Levelling Up The Weakest System Proto Lord
Alexei stumbled through the back doors of the tavern. As he closed the door he glanced at the outdoors one last time to see if he had been followed by the thing he had been fighting. Fortunately, the outside was empty. He shut the door and leaned on it for a moment to catch his breath. Alexei allowed his enchantments to fade. He’d never fought anything like that before, and he never wanted to fight anything like that again. Unfortunately for him, the universe rarely cared about his wishes and he knew that it was only a matter of time before he came face to face with the horror of the night once more. He considered telling Risa about what he’d seen, but the whole reason he’d told Risa and Neave to share a room in the first place was so that he didn’t wake the young beastkin girl up. It’d wait til the morning. He sighed, walked into his room, got undressed and slipped into bed. The mattress was hard and lumpy, not like what he was used to at either the Trout’s Gills nor the Mage
Levelling Up The Weakest System Risa's Choice
Alexei woke the next morning feeling rested but worried. His overnight chat with the Demon Lord had done much more to worry him than it had to make him feel better about the situation. First and foremost was the fact that he now knew he couldn’t really get into direct conflict with this so-called Proto-Demon Lord. If he were to do that, and then he was to lose, the consequences for the rest of the world were beyond dreadful. Eldreth would immediately break free of the chains that bound him, the Demon Lord’s last ditch attempt to keep the elder god under control would have meant nothing. And it would all be Alexei’s fault.Obviously, that couldn’t be allowed to happen. Instead he was going to have to rely on Risa to deal with the situation. Fortunately, if what the Demon Lord had said was correct, the Proto Lord hadn't yet made its pact with Eldreth, and if that were the case it would be perfectly vulnerable to magery just like any other being was. Fighting it would still be diff

Alexei didn’t like the idea of bringing Neave along on their journey to find out where the Proto Lord was hiding, but he knew that really he had no choice on the matter. If they stuck her in her room there was a pretty large chance that she’d just end up following after them anyway, which was more dangerous than knowing he could at least try to keep her safe. That was why he was keeping Neave close as they were walking through the woods around the town. They had asked around after breakfast, hoping to discover places that the Proto Lord might have been hiding. According to various shopkeepers, there was a cavern to the north of the town that cut down into the dirt and entered an extensive tunnel system that used to be mined for various ores back in the town’s heyday. The veins of ore had long since dried up, so it would be the perfect place for something like the Proto Lord to hide unseen by anyone in the town. However, a place like that was also somewhere that various dangerous
